Forest Boy - N. Sully

After party

(TW: MENTIONS OF SELF-HARM)

(ALSO THERE'S GONNA BE A SMUTISH PART IN THIS CHAPTER)

It had been about a week since the Tulkun left and just before Aonora left she helped me tell Neteyam about the cuts. He hasn't left my side since he saw the wounds on my thigh, he was constantly watching me like a hawk, but he helped me hide them until I was ready. The main effects had worn off, like the stinging when I got them wet and the pain overall but I think that's because Neteyam was cleaning and wrapping them up in bandages every day so they healed quicker than normal. I still hadn't talked about mating with Neteyam yet, I keep trying to find the right time but never could so I decided to talk with him today.  It was early in the morning the sun had just come up, Me and Neteyam had only just gone to bed because we were up all night making stuff for Tsireya's 14th birthday. "I need to talk to you later" I whispered as I backed up in my boyfriend's large frame. "about what?" he asked, his arms wrapped around me "you'll find out later my love" I giggled, he hated it when I didn't tell him things "Why can't we just talk about it now" Neteyam whined as he squeezed me a little tighter "Because it needs to be a private conversation somewhere else," I said still laughing at his child-like behavior. He continued to whine for the next 5 minutes before he gave up. I had fallen asleep straight after because I was so tired. 

                                                                                     DREAM

It was a normal day everything was calm and peaceful. I was finally having a normal dream, but when I looked down I noticed I had a small bump was I PREGNANT?! I stopped for a minute to look at myself. "What the fuck" I said as I stood still "Hey Love" I looked up to see Neteyam, he looked older like REALLY OLD. He had a tattoo on his chest and was that a scar under it? That's when I remembered the other dream, is this us if I saved him? but soon after Neteyam arrived I snapped awake.

I felt my eyes flutter open as I adjusted to the brightness, Neteyam stood in front of me shaking me lightly "come on my love you've got to get ready" I heard the boy say softly. I slowly got up, removing the blanket and noticing the bandages on my thighs. "I'm ready to take them off now" I muttered "Hmm what did you say," Neteyam said leaning in a little closer, "I said I wanna take these bandages off" I spoke up a bit so he could hear "Oh um ok do you wanna do it now," He said with shock in his voice "Yes please" I yawned as I rubbed my eyes, He simply nodded and went to start taking them off. I started on the other one, I slowly unwrapped the bandage until I finally saw the light teal scars. I still had some little scabs but apart from that they were all healed. I looked over at my other leg and it had also healed "Now if at anytime you wanna put something back on I-" I kissed Neteyam on the lips 'sometimes he talks too much' I quickly faced my partner looking into his soft eye's, my hand laid on his cheek"I know and I'll come straight to you ok" I stroked his cheek, I reassured him. He melted at my touch his body instantly relaxed "Alright mi amor" Neteyam whispered as he kissed the inside of my hand "What does that mean?" I asked referring to the name he just called me "It means my love in Spanish it's a language that the sky people speak" He explained, the smile on his face growing wider. "That's a pretty nickname I like that one," I said as I got out of bed  "I'm glad you like it" Neteyam answered as he made his way to the ladder. "Oh also everyone is here except for Lo'ak and Tsireya," Neteyam said "Even father," I asked as I looked down to the main area. That's when I saw the large frame that sat next to Jake, the tattoo's that ran across his shoulder told me it was him. I jumped over the railing and ran over to him "Father!" I hugged him from behind, and my grip on him became tighter "Hey Y/N" My father said in a sweet and kind tone. I hadn't seen him since the day after the half-year festival and I was so happy to see him, I've always been a daddy's child and I'd always follow him everywhere even if I wasn't supposed to. I felt tears start to prick in my eye's after the whole situation with my mother I expected him to hate me, I thought he'd never want to see me again but here he was hugging me and being the usual big softie. "I missed you dad" I cried as I felt him turn around "Oh Y/n dear don't cry" I looked into his eyes and realized his glossy eyes, he was crying too. Eventually, we both hugged each other and cried, these were the kind of moments I'd cherish until the day I die. "Guys let's give them some privacy" I heard Jake say, the footsteps of the family could be heard. I sat in front of my father after the family had left, "I'm so sorry father I-" I started but then I heard my father speak "No Y/N I should apologize I've let your mother treat you horribly and I just stood by that should never have happened and I... I hope you can forgive me?" I looked into his eyes, and the feeling of his hand on my cheek was so comforting "Dad I could never EVER be angry or upset with you there is no need to apologize" I held his hand as I went to hug my father again. we stayed like that for 2 minutes before we heard Aonung join in "Lemme join" He said as he started walking over, I opened an arm allowing my brother to join in the hug. "I love you Aonung you're the best big brother I could've asked for," I said as I hugged the both of them tighter "I know right... but I love you to lil sis". After a couple of seconds everyone let go "You know you look just like dad Aonung" I said giggling at my brother "really I thought I always looked like... um you know" He said, I watched him fumble with his words trying not to upset me "Aonung you can say it I'm not gonna get triggered or anything" I said as I rubbed the poor boy's back "Oh ok- well anyway it's nice that I look like dad I mean he's big and buff" Aonung pointed to our father, causing both me and my dad to laugh as Aonung did a bunch of stupid poses to show off his "muscles". I held on to my stomach as I fell over to the floor, I curled into a ball as I continued laughing. "OH oh it hurts so so much," I said as I squeezed my stomach harder, the cramps becoming worse. "Stop laughing at me skxawng" I heard my brother giggle trying to hide his laughter "I'm sorry I'm so- AHAAHAHAHAHA" I burst out laughing again as I looked at Aonung. this continued for about 3-4 minutes. "Y/N- Y/N stop it- please" My father choked up his laugh not wanting to burst out into a fit of laughter like mine. But eventually, he gave in his laugh echoing through the pod "Guys- s-stop" Aonung said through his giggles, also bursting out laughing moments later, this is when I realized I had a family to take care of I couldn't let my mother ruin my life, these kind of moments are what I was living for, nothing more nothing less. "I love you guys.." My father said as he held the back of our heads, pulling them to his "I will never let anyone hurt you again" My father placed his hand on my thigh, as he looked into my eyes. He always knew when I would do something to myself, I guess it was just father's intuition.
