Reawakened (Neteyam x Fem reader)

Chapter 9: Bro? Why!?

POV: First person, Y/n

I stayed up on the trees, until Lady Mo'at 's family has gone home to their hut, specially Neteyam.

The cool breeze gently hit me and I sneeze.

This is why I loved my coat. How am I going to live without the protection of one?

They left getting ready for lunch. I then went inside, covering parts of myself with my arms.

Mo'at heard me and turned around. Her eyes widened when I didn't have my coat on.

"Did you lost it," She asked. I shook my head no.

"What happened," she placed her hands on my shoulders. I look up at her.

"Some of the Metkayina boys, ripped it, calling me a 4 finger freak as well," I explained, she knew I didn't feel sad, just annoyed and uncomfortable without my coat.

"Come we'll talk about this with Chief Tonowari," she was a bit angered, she let go of my arms and started walking to the chief.

Some people stared, and whispered. I caught a glimpse of the Sully kids. Surprised by my appearance, except for Neteyam cause he already knew.

"Tsahík Mo'at," Ronal gave a 'I see you' sign of welcoming. She was sitting on the floor making medicine for the people, while having her child wrapped around her back.

"Ronal," Lady Mo'at returned the same gesture, "the boys here.. are very disrespectful," She put a hand on my back, to show that my coat is no longer with me.

Ronal sighed, "What did my son do this time," she got up from her sitting position.

"This did not involve with her son Ronal, it was some other village boys," I explained the misunderstanding. Both tsahíks nodded in reply.

"They ripped her coat, I will not have a Makto be disrespected. If one of your people disrespects mine, then you disrespect the Omatikaya clan," Mo'at stepped closer to Ronal.

She nodded, "Who are the boys who did this," Ronal turned to me.

I heard footsteps coming closer from outside the hut.

"I know who they are, the same boys who were friends with Aonung," spoke the familiar male voice behind me, "but I don't think Aonung would go to far with a Makto," he continued.

"Tell me their names, I'll get them and their families to apologize," Ronal raised her hand to signal the familiar voice to come over.

As I turned to see the young male, we made eye contact. His tail brushes against my waist.

Why?! But really tho why him again? This guy and his whooshy tail.

I just my shoulders and turn around, "I'm going back," I dragged myself out of the Chief's hut.

Aw man.. this dude, if I sneaked to his hut and try to take my gemstone back he's probably gonna know from the start.

Some days gone by and Lady Mo'at is too scared to leave her family and wants someone to watch the children very carefully, due to Neteyam's pass death.

I've been staying in the hut for those days because I didn't have my coat. Not that I was insecure, but more so just felt right and very comfortable to have a coat on. Even in any weather, cold or hot. Neteyam has visited me but I ignored his presence.

It was a new sunrise.

"Y/n! Oh for Eywa's sake, go outside," Mo'at sighed at me, "those boys already apologized, they won't come after you anymore," she bought a hand to her forehead.

I scoffed, "Oh fine then.... It's just cold and I hate cold," I muttered.

I walked along the sand bar again and sat on the one of the trees. I feel asleep after just a few minutes.
