Forest boy ll Neteyam X OC. {BOYXBOY} *Male OC*

Chapter. 8

[THE NEXT DAY]

Kiri walked into my room and found me curled up in a ball on my bed. "Netty, are you alright?"

"I’m fine Kiri"

She sighed and sat down next to me. I rolled over and looked at her. She gasped when she saw my red eyes.

"Were you crying?" I nodded. "Why?"

I sat up and pulled my legs into my chest. "If I tell you this, nobody else gets to know"

"I promise" Kiri and a warm smile on her face. I sighed. "I like Silo’bov"

"I know" I quickly turned my head to look at her. "How!?"

"The day we were taught to ride Ilu. We saw how you were smiling and blushing when Silo’bov would talk to you"

"We!?" "Yeah. Lo’ak, Tuk, Tsireya, and Aonung"

I fell back onto my bed and groaned. "It’s kind of obvious" Kiri giggled. "Great.."

"When are you two gonna get together?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me. "We’re not."

"What? Why!?"

"Last night, he told me that I was doing something weird to him. That I was making him feel different. And that he couldn’t feel that way towards a guy, cuz it would be gay."

"Oh Netty, I’m so sorry" She placed a hand on my shoulder. "It’s fine Kiri"

"I’m gonna go talk to him" She started getting up but I grabbed her arm. "No! No don’t. You’ll only make it worse"

"Fine"

{Aonung's POV}

After a talk with Kiri on the beach I marched over to my brothers hut. I walked in and he glared at me.

"You know my rules, outta my hut"

"No." He raised his eyebrows at me. "The hell do you mean no?"

"I mean we’re gonna talk about last night" He looked at me, confused. "I didn’t talk to you last night"

"True, but you did talk to Neteyam"

He looked down at his book. He was so annoying when he did this, he figures if he doesn’t look at you, then you’ll walk away. But I wasn’t walking away this time.

"Bo, you like him"

"No, I don’t"

"Then why’d you save him from Al’bewn?" He sighed. "Because Al’bewn could have hurt him"

"And because you care about him" He looked up at me before looking back down at his book. "Aonung, I don’t like the forest freak"

"Stop lying!" I yelled. Silo’bov rolled his eyes and turned the page of his book.

"Y’know you hurt him, right?" Silo’bov stopped reading and looked up. "What are you talking about?"

"He liked you, Bo. He spent all last night crying because of you. Kiri can’t get him to eat, drink, or even get up-"

"It’s not my fault if the kid can’t take rejection"

"You’re a dick, Bo" I started to leave but stopped at the door. "Stop lying to yourself, man. You’re hurting the ones you care about the most in the process."

{Silo’bov’s POV}

I stayed in my hut staring at the wall for about an hour after Aonung left. He was right. But I couldn’t like him. Liking boys is… wrong.

But I did like a boy. I like Neteyam. And now he’s crying because of me. I went to the only person who’d know about this stuff.

I saw Roxto feeding some Ilu in the water. I walked down and he turned to me. "Hey Silo’bov. How are you?"

"Ok, I guess" He pet the Ilu infront of him. "What’s up?"

"I uh- I wanted to talk to you about something" I scratched the back of my neck. "And that something isssss?"

"I like someone" Roxto chuckled. "So why are you telling me and not Aonung?"

"Aonung’s being Aonung" He smiled. "Fair. So, who’s the lucky lady?"

He looked at me with his eyebrows raised. Waiting for me to say something. When I didn’t, he gave me a different look. One I didn’t understand

"Holy shit… You like a boy"

"Shh!" Roxto started beaming. "I knew it! I knew you were gay!"

I quickly put my hand over his mouth. "What part of shh do you not understand!?"

I took my hand off of his mouth. "Sorry. But who’s the dude? Is it Za’tum? He’s kinda cute"

"No, it’s not Za’tum… It’s N-"

"Roxto!" We both turned around and saw Kiri. She smiled at Roxto but glared at me.

"What’s up Kiri?"

"Just wanted to know if you’re coming to the party later"

"Wouldn’t miss it"

She smiled at him and then turned to me. "Sorry Silo’bov, no asshats allowed. Better luck next time"

She walked off and Roxto looked at me. "What was that about?"

"Her brother. I told him I couldn’t like him because it was gay but-"

"Lo’ak!? Dude some on, he has the hots for you sister, that’s nasty"

"Ew no! Not Lo’ak"

His jaw dropped. "NETEYAM!?"

"Dude, stop being so loud!" He smiled at me and I rolled my eyes. "He’s good looking. Can’t blame you"

"I don’t know what to do Roxto. I told him to stay away from me because I can’t be gay"

"Why not?"

I sighed. "My parents wouldn’t allow it"

"I think they would. They just want you to be happy, right?"

"Yeah.."

"So tell them, then talk to Neteyam"

"Can you come with me?"

"Of course" He smiled at me. "I-i’m not telling them now tho"

"Take as long as you need"
