The Ocean's song (NeteyamXAo'nung)

[Chapter 5: Heart to heart]

After a while we parted lips, to catch our breath. We both looked stupid and we laughed.

We laughed and laughed and laughed. It was finally our days of joy. We were drunk in our emotions.

Finally he looked at me with a smile.

"I want you to recover as soon as possible "

"Why? I kinda like this I get to talk to you"

"Because I want to take you somewhere" he layed down beside me I tried to do the same but a pain sliced through my stomach when I did and I winced.

He got up and helped me lay down.

He rested his head sideways in his palm and leaned beside me.
I turned my head

"Do you want to be with me?"

"Yes" I said stupidly.

"Do you?"

"I do." And that was all I wanted to hear.

He was stroking my choker.

"Say. What was it like- your home?"

Then I started talking about my home.
My grandma, Spider, the time we got nearly abducted and how we hunted.

Ao'nung talked about his childhood too. I never knew he could be such a caring person but he did care about Tsireya as much as I did to Lo'ak.

"How about we fly my ikran after I recover?" I looked at him.

"I've never- I'm not sure"

"Why?" I frowned.

"Just-" he read my disappointed expression for sometime and gave up.

"Alright we will"

I smiled at him he smiled back.

He wrapped his tail around my waist and got me closer to him and we talked about everything, every secret, every lie, every truth.

We were getting to know each other giving out our heart to each other.

We lost track of time and got sleepy. I don't know when we fell asleep but when I woke up I was still in his arms.

His hair bun was undone, he looked magnificent.

After a while we both got up and while he was undoing my bandage Ronal and mom came in.

"Where were you?" The Tsahìk hissed at him.

" I fell asleep here while talking to him" Ronal glanced at me for a while and then got back to treating me.
Ronal and Ao'nung left while mom stayed.

"Mother"

I was getting nervous now.

"What is it?" She was unwrapping my medicine and food.

"I-I like someone and"

She looked at me " And?"

"And they're a boy. Uh I know I should not be like this but I really like this person."

I started to tear up.

"I'm sorry I don't know what is wrong with me"

"Aw Neteyam don't be. It is not wrong to like someone." She wiped my tears.

"If you like someone whole heartedly then no one can object you. You will always be my dear son and just because you like a boy doesn't mean you're different"

"Thank you. Thank you for understanding me."

It was afternoon and I was getting a little sleepy. All of a sudden I heard someone calling out for me. It was Na'oll.

"Neteyam your brother and some guy were fighting "

"What? Where?"

"Come on hurry they went that way"

Ah shit what again now.

As we rushed over to the place no one was there.

"Hey dude you said that they were here" I ran out if breath.

"Ao'nung will mate with one of the girl from our clan"

What is this idiot bullshitting right now.

"Why did you bring me here?" I was getting a little pissed.

"He's going to leave you after he gets bored."

"Just answer my damned question " I shouted at him.

"Be together with me."

"What?" I couldn't believe this person.

"Look I can make you happy "

"You don't have to I'm better off happy alone." I hissed at him.

He pulled my arm and tried to kiss me but I punched him.

"Piss off you pervert."

I left as I spat those words out.

When I reached Ao'nung was outside my hut.

"Where were you?"

"Some pervert told me you were good to leave me for you future mate."

He remained silent.

My heart dropped, is he just going to leave me be. What does this silence mean.

"Screw you too. Get out" my voice turned raspy as I tried to hold my tears back.

"Listen to me, I won't leave you" he grabbed my arm.

"No no. If you're gonna leave do it right now. Don't give me false hope"

"Listen I don't have a mate and I don't want to because I don't think I can like anyone as much as I do to you."

Maybe I was being too sensitive but I listened to him.

"I will never leave you" "okay?"

I nodded .

"Who told you this?"

"Na'oll"

"Hah that clam I'll kill him-"

I stopped him before he could leave.

"Don't fight him. If you do it will be an opening for him"

"Just don't go" I insisted and he stayed.

Later that night me, Ao'nung , Lo'ak, Tsireya, Rotxo and Kiri sat in a circle near a fire.

I thought about how mad I got at him earlier. It was partly wrong if me to believe a stranger whom I know nothing about, but it's settled for good.

It was good to be with everyone.
It felt good to be with my family.

That was all for chapter 5, I know you all probably hate Na'oll by now TwT. I will update as much as I can before finals.
