Y/N POV–

Blooming season has started and my coming of age ritual was just a few days away.

I was nervous, to say the least.

So many things have been happening lately, ever since the volcano and Diwali.

Numb.

That's the best way to describe how I felt right now.

It could sound dumb, but really, not even in one hundred years I would expect this. Any of this.

And making decisions wasn't easy for me.

I was currently sitting in the forest with my gryphon next to me sleeping peacefully.

I know I told Tsireya about my feelings, and she said the would all wait for me.

So that basically means that, they know.

Otherwise she wouldn't have said that.

I've seen Lo'ak and Kiri try to approach me these past few days, but I just run away.

Like a coward.

I can't get my mind together, no matter how hard I try.

If I could, I would grab all of them and run away, far from the other Na'vis.

But that's selfish.

And, even if it hurts, my family is far more important to me.

"Y/N? Are you alright?" I heard a voice call.

I turned my head and saw Lo'ak. He sat next to me

I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Many things in such little time. I'm not feeling like myself" I said softly as I closed my eyes.

It wasn't really a lie, but I wanted to say even more.

"You know.. you can always tell me of there's something going through your mind" he said in a raspy tone.

"I want to make you feel alright" he finished his sentence.

I felt my cheeks heat up. I raised my head to look at him.

We stared at each other in comfortable silence.

He came closer to me, I didn't back away.

I don't know if it was because of the shock I felt or because I wanted this. Maybe it was both.

Before he touched my lips, he looked at me once more and whispered.

"May I?"

And my mind went blank.

My actions didn't obey my thoughts, not like I had any.

I nodded slightly.

And it happened.

His lips pressed softly against mine, it wasn't a rough kiss. It was sweet and gentle.

I melted when I felt his hands on my waist, pulling me slightly closer to him.

He then pulled away and lightly smiled at me.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I blinked a few times.

"That was my first kiss" I whispered.

And his face fell.

"Oh. shit." he said as he desperately got up, stumbling a few times.
