My love ~ Neteyam Sully x oc

15.

Neteyam surprising woke up before Ivä. Either they slept in, or his sleep schedule is off for no reason.

He looked down at the peacefully sleeping Ivä. Her arms were wrapped around his torso, and her left leg was lifted up resting on his lower stomach.

He rubbed her thigh gently, not wanting to wake her.

He remembers that his spear was no where near done, so he wanted Ivä to help him with it. He also remembered telling her he would get her the beads he used for his hair.

He had a lot of things to do, so he needed to get up. But he just couldn't, he would never leave Ivä here alone. And Neteyam wouldn't dare try to wake her up. He was just going to have to wait until she woke up.

Luckily, she started to wake up. She felt the tingly sensation on her thigh, waking her up fully. Ivä looked up to see Neteyam starting at the calming ocean.

He looked down at her seeing she was awake.
"Good morning baby." He said gently.
"Good morning." Ivä said resting her head back on his chest.

She loved when Neteyam touched her. It comforted her so much. Physical touch was something she never knew she liked until she met Neteyam.

It was silent for a little bit. A good silence. Ivä started tracing the stripes on Neteyam's chest, as always. But he didn't mind because it comforted him.

"You know what, I never finished my spear," Neteyam said breaking the silence.
"Would you like to help me finish it?" Neteyam asked.

"Of course Neteyam." Ivä said sitting up.

That gave Neteyam a good view of her neck.
"Oh... baby..." Neteyam said laughing.

"What?" She said looking at him confused.

"I love you." Neteyam said still laughing.

"Babe, what is it?" Ivä asked getting worried.

"I gave you so many hickies it spells out 'I love you,'" Neteyam said exaggerating.

"Look, I.. love.. you-," he started to draw out the letters.

Ivä quickly smacked his hand and covered her neck with a worried look on her face.

All Neteyam could do was laugh.

"Neteyamm." Ivä complained.

"Baby- it's cute!" Neteyam said. He must think this is a comedy show, because he's still laughing.

"It's not funny." Ivä said pouting.

Neteyam uncovered Ivä's love marks and softly smiled.

"You look fine, and if anything I probably have them too." Neteyam said trying to reassure her,

Iva took his chin and turned his head to see his neck.  Dammit. He didn't have any.

She scoffed.

"You're so lucky, or I would've been laughing in your face too."

"Sorry baby."

—
The couple finally got up. Ivä started to comb through her hair while Neteyam watched. Then she was trying to decide what top.

"Shells or seaweed?" Ivä asked holding up both of them.

Neteyam's gaze fell on both of them deciding which one he like better. The shell one was his favorite.

"Shell." Neteyam said with his silky accent.

Ivä stood still for a minute. She forgot he had already seen her naked before, so why was she acting like a little kid about to tell him to turn around.
