you had so much fun with ao'nung last night. you two just walked around the island talking about anything and everything. this just made you like him even more honestly.

you decided to go swimming with ay'olna. she has yet to pick a new ilu since hers got shot by the sky people. she doesn't want to replace him and you completely understand that, you wouldn't want to choose a new ilu if na'li got killed.

"so do you plan on picking an ilu yet? it's perfectly fine if you haven't." you told her. she looked down at the sand. "i just feel so guilty if i choose a new one marali. me and him had a special bond y'know?" you nodded in a understanding way.

you went into the water and called na'li while your sister looked around at the ilu. one suddenly started rubbing against her which made her smile. "i think that one likes you." ay'olna petted the ilu. "yeah he keeps finding his way to me."

"maybe it's a sign that he's meant to be yours." you replied. "what would i even name him?" your sister asked. "what about teytey? it's a cute and simple name." ay'olna agreed with you and finally made the bond with an ilu.

they started swimming around and having fun when that eventually got ruined by shouts being heard which sounded like a fight going on. you rolled your eyes in annoyance as you made your way over there after telling your sister to stay put.

"i swear to eywa if it's those little kids-" you began to say before your eyes rested on ao'nung fighting another boy. that other boy was kìlun. you ran over to where they were and pulled ao'nung off the boy.

"you fucking dick! say something about her again and i swear to eywa-" ao'nung began before shutting up after noticing who pulled him back. you looked at him in disappointment but was also a little scared because everyone has told you ao'nung was done fighting people, even him.

"come on, let's go." you said pulling him up to his feet. kìlun was shouting insults but you just ignored them.

you took ao'nung to your home because you knew his mother was going to be angry with him. your father then walked in. "oh my, what happened? are you okay son?" ao'nung looked up at the man. "yes sir i'm okay i just had a little disagreement with something."

your father nodded at ao'nungs reply before walking out probably wondering what the hell happened.

"what the fuck you skxawng?" you asked grabbing bandages after lightly hitting him on the head. ao'nung hissed a little at the sudden impact but kept his head down refusing to make eye contact.

"you tell me not to listen to him and here you are picking fights with him." you said smiling to yourself at how stupid he was sometimes. "yeah but he was talking about you." he mumbled just loud enough for you to hear.

"i'll be alright, i'm a big tough girl. i tie my own tops and everything." you said joking with him which made him roll his eyes with a slight smile. you then lifted his head forcing him to make eye contact with you. "but i thought you told me you were done fighting."

"well things change i guess." he whispered letting you bandage him up. it was a few moments of silence before ao'nung spoke up again. "y'know you don't hurt as much as my mother and don't sit there and lecture me while patching me up."

you laughed a little. "i could always lecture you if that's what you want mommas boy." "i didn't say that. i'm saying i enjoy having you patch me up. your more gentle and stuff. and i'm not a mommas boy." you smiled at the compliment while you finished patching him up.

"sure you aren't."

ao'nung looked at you and how you looked so beautiful smiling. it was the smallest things you did that made him fall for you.

and you were the one he wanted.

~~~

you were with all the other teens hanging out on a rock listening to lo'ak go on about ao'nung and his fight.

"i really missed that? cmon bro! the last time you fought someone was when i showed you my super amazing trick." "yeah and i got my ass beat by you and your brother." ao'nung replied with a slight smile.

"what's your 'super amazing trick'?" you asked, kinda curious.

lo'ak showed his hand. "okay so my hand is weird right? extra pinky, who cares. but i can do something really cool with it." he began. "first i ball it up real tight like this then,,, WAM!" the boy said throwing a punch at the air. he then got close in ao'nungs face as a joke and said, "it's called a punch bitch!"

everyone started laughing at lo'ak and his demonstration. "i actually fell for that shit too." ao'nung stated. "of course you did." he looked at you with a confused face.

"now what is that supposed to mean?" "i don't know man, wherever your imagination takes you." you replied putting a hand on his shoulder and lightly squeezing it.

"i hate you sometimes."

"no you don't. you love me too much." you said with a bright smile. "she's kinda righttt" tsireya whispered to her brother in a singsong tone. he lightly elbowed her and signaled her to be quiet.

"i can tell you how that whole fight went down," kiri said. "i was there and i was the main cause of it. kinda stupid really." "you better not tell!" lo'ak said.

"yeah that's not my proudest moment of why that fight started.

"by that comment, i'm gonna assume you said something to kiri, ao'nung." you replied, pointing at the boy. "he did." kiri said. "no surprise there though." tsireya added.

"okay is this just a 'hate ao'nung club' or what? why is everyone targeting me suddenly??" the boy said trying to defend himself.

"yes it is because you lied. you said you were done fighting." tsireya said and you nodded in agreement.

"it was just one time! come onnn" ao'nung said.

you all laughed at his comment.
