• Neteyam X Aonung •

chapter 3.

(Kinda a pt2 of the last chapter!)

~|•Aonungs pov•|~

"Yeah, I'm fine pretty boy;)" He replies, trying to give a reassuring look.

Neteyam just gives him an anxious nod, knowing somethings up.

Neteyam straightens his body, (he's still ontop of the Ilu from chap 2).

He takes a few deeps breaths and off he goes, I couldn't help but feel a tad worried, nothing deep, just normal...I think?

I watch him as he goes under water, I dunk my head the further down he rides, as to watch carefully.

Although it's not like it's dangerous or anything, or I would hope.

I personally thought he was doing great, but before I knew it, he let go, or got forced to at least.

He came back up for air, and the Ilu swam away, I couldn't stop myself from chuckling just loud enough for him to hear.

But, as I watched him, he trys to frown, but he couldn't keep character and we both broke into laughter.

I tried to stop laughing, but I seriously couldn't, that was until I looked up and started admiring Neteyam's gorgeous smile.

Not to mention his laugh, this made me feel for him so much more!

"Damn you, pretty boy" I accidentally say aloud.

He immediately stops laughing and looks me dead in the eyes, with a soft surprised expression.

He quickly looked away, and rolled his eyes, even though the dark blush that stained his cheeks were very noticeable..

I wasn't gonna let that slide though, does he think I'm joking? He really is a pretty boy though I thought warmly. (too bad some hoe shot him in the movie, am I right)

I took a swift step ford, slowed by the water, and raced to get my hand to his waist, and fold him into my arms.

He suddenly stops and turns to look up into my eyes, he looks so cute, I want to kiss him so bad! But what would the others think of me if they knew..what would neteyam think if I actually kissed him! He would think I'm weird..he must just be being nice or trying to get a good impression or something.

I mean, who would like me anyway? Just because I may be the chiefs son, that doesn't mean anything!

My muscles tighten at every thought that flies through my head, forgetting, that I'm still holding Neteyam.

"Hey, fish lips, you there?? Helloooo?" He waves a hand Infront of my eyes.

As my thoughts flood back out, I could feel little tears forming in my eyes, but why? It's nothing serious, so why do I feel this way? Gosh this is so confusing!

"Aonung!"

I quickly let go of him, releasing my hands from around his waist, and as I turn to leave, I feel a hand grasp my arm and slide down to my hand.

"I'm sorry, was it something I said? Don't leave again!" He pleaded.

As this is all happening, I look around and realize, Tisreya, Loak, Rotxo and Kiri are all watching from a distance..

What if my father knew of this, he would say he had raised me better, he'd think I'm a.. disappointment.

Words can't explain how I feel, my heart is racing so fast, I can't think straight, and before I knew it, everything went black.

~|•Neteyam's pov•|~

When I grabbed Aonungs hand, he looks around, though I was confused at first, then I realized who he was looking at, Tisreya, Rotxo, and my brother and sister.

But what was the big deal?

I noticed he started to turn a little pale and eyes eyes darted everywhere, there wasn't many people around, I felt his hand go a little cold.

I was about to ask if he's alright but, he started leaning backwards, I thought it was just a joke at first, just him playing around, right?

But his eyes roll back and he fell backwards and slams into the water.

My body lounges to grab him and yank him out of the water, my face is smeared with worry.

Has he just fainted?

I pick him up, and carry in my arms as I go as fast as I could to go to the healing hut. (Sorry that's all I could think of💀)

I hear the others not far behind me, my heart aches, what is this feeling of dred, he's just a friend, though that's not what my heart is saying.

A few minutes passed as I finally make it to the healer hut, I walk in, and beckon for somone to help, the medics rush over realizing who's unconscious and in my arms.

They instruct me to lay him down, and I do as they say, I help all I could, but, for now, all I can do is watch.

My father, Ronal and Tonowari come thumping in, all with worried looks on their face.

Ronal rushes over to Aonung's side and kneels, her ears flatten and as do Tonowari's.

My father gives me a nod, although I'm not sure what the nod was for.

Tonowari stays close to his son and wife, comforting Ronal, as she is very worried and upset, everyone seemed to be, including me.
