hard love - (neteyam x aonung)

pt.13

Neteyam's Pov:

"Where's aonung!?" I heard tsireya hiss, I was wondering the same thing. He was never this late to something. "Should we just start?" Kiri asked, touching her ilu. Tsireya sighed. "But I wanted to go to the three brother rocks" she said.

"I can wait here for him?" I offered, I instantly saw tsireya brighten but lo'ak frowned. "Are you sure bro?" Lo'ak asked me and I nodded my head. "Yeah I'll be fine" I smiled. Tsireya nodded. "Okay I'll take the others there, see ya soon!" She cheered waving to me and the others followed behind her ilu.

I watched them swim away till I couldn't see them anymore before I pulled over to the shallow to wait for aonung.

(15 minutes later)

I saw aonung making his way down the beach and I sighed with relief for a minute I thought I was going to be waiting for an hour.

Aonung looked at me with confusion. "Where is everyone?" He asked, stepping into the water. "Dude you took like an hour and so" I told him laughing, aonung called for his ilu before apologizing. "Sorry I had to do something" he mumbled, I nodded.

"Well the others are at the three brothers rock so we better hurry" I smiled to him, for once he didn't smile back, he barely looked at me. "Alright let's go" he simply said once he was on his ilu.

Was aonung upset?

--time skip

Sometime later we made it to the three brothers rock, it had been a very awkward and silent swim there.

I saw my siblings and rotxo and tsireya messing around in the water and having fun, I looked over to smile at aonung but he was looking down at the water.

I frowned pulling my ilu over to him and he looked up slightly.

"Are you okay aonung?" I asked and he instantly looked away from me. "Yeah never better" aonung said blankly, his ilu pulled forward ahead of mine before he got up.

He's definitely upset.

But I didn't know what to do. I didn't know why he was upset.

"Neteyam look!" I heard a tiny voice squeal and I look over to see tuk on rotxo's shoulders as rotxo danced around and tuk tried to hold on without falling into the water.

I smiled at them getting off my ilu and swimming closer to the group. "Hey neteyam!" I heard my brother call before splashing me with water, I heard tsireya start laughing and I instantly tackled lo'ak into the water.

"Okay, okay!" Lo'ak laugh shouted. "You win!" Lo'ak shouted as I lifted him up and dropped him into the water, when he raised to the surface he was completely soaked and he spit water from his mouth in my face.

"Ew gross!" I hissed and tuk and tsireya started laughing.

"Hey aonung come join us!" I heard rotxo shout and I glanced over to see aonung sitting on one of the rocks, his tail tucked perfectly around his ankles.

He shook his head at rotxo's offer but rotxo kept pleading and asking.

"Come on aonung!" Tsireya shouted joining in on rotxo's pesters.

Aonung shook his head again but I could see the smile start to take form on his face. 

He had a beautiful smile I wish I could see it all the time.
