The day i met you. (Neteyam x oc)

Chapter 8

I was laying with Lo'ak on sand, on our beach. It's fascinating that we are friends for already three weeks. Our friendship was growing everyday, the breakfast with his family was normal now. We ate together, my relationship with his parents growing just as fast as our friendship. I loved that feeling, feeling of belonging somewhere. I just know he feels the same. He and i were just the same from the beginning, but i was too blind to see his glorious character. 

„What are you thinking about?" Lo'ak looked at me. I smiled, he knows me so well. We may been friends for short period of time, but i feel like he has been here my whole life. I feel comfortable with him, around him. „I think about our friendship. How it started." i told him. He smiled and looked back at the sky. Stars looking amazing today. His freckles glowing in the dark, as if he was star. The unnoticed star, that was glowing with it's own light. Just before he caught me with his stare i looked away. He chuckled. „I am thinking about my brother, he's been distant to me lately. I don't know why though." he furrowed his eyebrows. I didn't know what to say, i don't know how he is with them. 

To me he was anything, but kind. I don't think he has a kind side to him. Sometimes i wonder why we hated eachother so much. I just hate him, i don't have the exact reason, other than the one i said to Lo'ak. It was halfway true, but i hated Neteyam not only because of that. I hated him because of his ignorance and his hurtful nature. The glow in my eyes stopping shining at his name. Lo'ak saw it, but didn't question it.

„I don't know why you hate eachother so much. He is really very kind once you get to know him." he said. „That's just how it is, i hate him and he hates me. There's nothing to change that." i smiled softly. He nodded, but i could just see that he isn't convinced like i hoped he would. „Oh come on, don't be sad just because we don't like eachother." i shoved him. He smiled a little. „I know, but it's just that- i you guys to be friends, cause you two are the most important people in my life and i hate to see how you two act towards eachother. And what hurts me the most is that i can't do anything to make you two be friends. And now Neteyam distanced himself from me and i feel like i am failing as a brother." he looked down. In that moment i felt really bad, he is trying so hard to make us friends and we always argue. I looked down in shame at my hands. 

„Come on Lo'ak, the sun will rise soon." i changed the subject. I could see a flash of hurt in his eyes, but only for a second. Then he was back to smiling and making jokes. When we reached his hut we said goodbye. Then i made a decision to go back home, not Tsireya's or Ve'ytiri's. My home. All the way to my place i was feeling as if there was a lump in my throat. I try to swallow it and reassure myself that it will be okay, but i just know it won't. I reached the opening of my hut. I reached out my hand and went in. Everything was left just the way i remembered it. I looked further into my hut. Then i saw Li'laak and my parents, cuddled up in my parent's hammock. I smiled softly. My mother's stomach was now a little more noticeable. 

Li'laak's cheeks looked as if she was crying. My mom had dark circles under her eyes. My dad looked paler, sadder. They were all grieving. Because of me, of my absence. I went to lay in my hammock. But i saw something on it. It was a small piece of material and a little flower. The material was my favourite colour- turquoise. The flower was the one that my mother always gave me when i was little. Tears filled my eyes, ready to fall down.

I smiled through them. I wiped my eyes and took the material and flower. I put beside my hammock. Laying in my place to sleep now feeling some other way, i felt happiness fill my body, i felt complete. Knowing that i can peacefully sleep in my home was an amazing feeling. I quickly fell asleep to the amazing feeling of warmth and softness of the pillows. 

I was back at the beach, but when i turned away from the sky expecting to see Lo'ak, there was Neteyam. I looked at him disgustingly. „What do you want!?" i snapped at him. He just smiled at me. That stupidly perfect smile. „I just wanted to see you.. to see your beauty. " he looked at me lovingly. I become even more disgusted. I tried to got up, but he stopped me. He took my wrist and got up himself. I looked at him confusedly. He let go of my arms, walking to be closer to me. I started to walk back, but the rock stopped me. He was now only inch away from my face. He smirked. That stupidly hot smirk. I blushed really hard. His cold breath hitting my face. He looked down to my lips and back at my eyes. I looked down to his lips. That stupidly warm lips.
