Chapter 49: How I fell for

POV: First person, Y/n

"Okay," I said, "imma spend some time with my friend, Spider," I started walking away. But a hand stopped me from walking.

"Wait," Neteyam stopped me, "um," he couldn't meet my eyes this time.

"What is it, my mighty warrior," I questioned and smiled.

Still not making contact, he used his finger and poke his cheek, blushing like a crimson fruit.

"Oh," I cooed, "you're going have to ask me instead," I smirked and crossed my  arms.

"What," he said disappointedly, "um.. may I have a goodbye kiss on the cheek- j- just so I know that you'll be okay," he put his head down. I got closer to him.

"Of course," I whispered and gave him a small peck on the cheek. Whilst his tail swung around the tent, "well I'll be going now, bye, bye," I waved.

"Wait but-," I already ran off.

"Wait but I wanted to say...," my voice trailed.

That I love you...

I sighed as she ran off and turned around, shook by my grandmother appearing in front of me.

"WHAA," I screamed and fell off my footing, "Grandma you scared me to death,"

"Death," her eyes widened with fear, getting herself closer to me. Checking on me. Grandmother started asking me questions if I was okay.

"Grandma- ow ow," I hissed, "That hurts- Hey- I'm fine. I'm okay," she started to pinch my cheeks and chuckled.

"My, you my grandson are really a wonderful young man," she complimented, "don't hurt her feelings alright,"

I gawked, "how can I hurt her, when she hurt me first," I sighed, "she's already giving me mix feelings... also I sometimes feel sick... like something fills or moves my stomach every time I'm with her,"

"You're not sick," grandma laughed, "if you know that you love her, then having that feelings in your stomach is natural,"

I hummed, "I sometimes ask myself... how did I fell for her so fast," that is true. Even though I said that I feel for her when she took care me, there was more from that. It was not love at first sight, but more so I feel as if I fell for Y/n without even knowing I loved her.

"I can tell you both felt something together... when you brought her to me, to patch her arm," Grandmother looked at me and grinned, "that's when I saw that you cared for someone that you know so little about. Even if she didn't save your life and someone else did... if you were to meet her in another way, you'd still fall for Y/n," she explained.

Her explanation made me blush. Now I think about it, yes I did fell for her long before that... I wonder if Y/n fell for me without even knowing too.
