Chapter 59: Noru'ite's Challenge Part 2

POV: First person, Neteyam

I sighed as Y/n got her stuff ready, "this really isn't a good idea. And- and beside you've shown worthy already to the people... what else do you have to do,"

"Show worthy for Noru'ite of course. This is exciting Neteyam- I haven't done actual hunting in a while," she grinned at me. I grinned back at her amused face.

"Have you ever killed a strumbeest before," I asked resting a hand in hers.

"You may be the youngest member of the people to kill one but... have you seen an arrow hit a sturmbeest through its eye into another one- making a clean shot of killing two at the same time," she smirked at me. My jaw dropped.

"I don't believe you," I pouted.

Now I am wanting to go into this challenge with Y/n and Noru'ite.. to show how Y/n is underestimating me?

"Oh you can't underestimate me Neteyam... don't doubt me at day... and night," she smirked and poked my nose, sending me a tingle, "boop,"

At... night?!

Her words caused my tail to swing around the tent. As she was about to leave, my tail wrapped her thigh.

Y/n yelped but chuckled, "you know I asked Noru'ite a question.. what to hear it," she asked behind me as my tail still wrapped around her.

I hummed and she continued, "I asked if I should mate with you now or wait a few years," I felt her turn around, her face facing my back. Her hands creeped up my shoulders. Sending me a pleasurable shiver, "what do you think,"

I gulped, "we- we could- I want to- uh- Y/n," I felt fingers on my ear again, "hmmph... nngh," even her just touching it, causes me to feel tingly.

But she stopped, "let's go, I'll show you who the winner is later too," she whispered in my ears. Making me blush.

Oh great... I have that feeling again...

She grabbed her coat (which is mine), bow and arrows.

I was about to go with Y/n, but my father stopped me, "Neteyam I would like you to stay here," Dad grabbed me to stay.

"Why," I asked.

"This is exciting... but I want especially you to stay here. It dangerous right now. Y/n will be fine on her own," father explained.

"But- what if Y/n is in need of my help," I try to convince him. While our conversation was going, Noru'ite and her parents came to get ready. With their Ikrans.

"I can take care of myself," Y/n broke the argument, "I'll watch Neteyam, not the other way around," she ruffled my hair.

"No I will," I smirked at her. Noru'ite saw how close we are and decided to butt in.

"I'll take watch of Neteyam," she puts on a fake smile, specifically for Y/n. Y/n and I gave each other a look. But Y/n turned back to look at Noru'ite.

Noru'ite was trying something to make Y/n furious, but Y/n is as cool as the flowing river.

Y/n smirked at Noru'ite, "Go a head, if you blame this beautiful. It's not his fault, if he distracts you, during the hunt," Y/n laughs and places a hand on her hip.

Noru'ite face glared at Y/n, including a confused look.

"Stop this dear, just win the hunt and we are done," Noru'ite's mother sighs, "oh Eywa, what are we going to do with you,"

"Y/n! I'm not a baby," I glared at Y/n, "I can take care of myself. It is you who I should be watching," I crossed my arms.

"Well okay," she continued to smiled, "but that's on your father's choice," she came closer to be, with hands behind her back. She looks back at Noru'ite and then at me. Y/n gave me a sudden kiss on the cheek, "I'll be going now,"

Y/n quickly flew with Meh'ki. Leaving Noru'ite and I stunned. I blushed looking at the floor.

"Hmm," dad hummed, "you know what you can go... she will protect you- I mean they will protect you," he smirked and looked at Noru'ite, "Goodluck with the both of you.

I smiled in delight and hurried to fetch my things. But Noru'ite stopped me, grabbing my arm. I reacted, not noticing the touch and roughly shook off her hand.

"Wait what makes her so special, even if she has lilac skin and white hair, what is so special about her... and not me," Noru'ite face became pouty.

I turned my head a bit, "my love for her is too hard or- too beautiful to explain... but all I need to know is that she loves me and I love her,"

She scoffs, "you've only known her for a month, while you've known me for your whole life. What do you even see in her, that made you fell for her in just a few days,"

"Well I guess for some people like me. It feels like I've known her my whole life, when I first saw her," my jaw clenched, "she is the reason I'm alive, Noru'ite... now stop with this. We both know that I don't like you that way. I will not apologize to you. I won't say sorry I have Y/n, I will say no I have Y/n," I smiled at her.

"What... after our childhood together," she broke out, "we were destined to be mates, Neteyam,"

Her eyebrows furrowed, "what has she done for you to love her? Haven't you seen what I've done for you," she asked.

"What has she done...," I inhaled some air, "Ive noticed that I always saved other, there I thought that there will be no one to save me... Noru'ite... she saved me, brought me back... her saving me, taking care of me, protecting me, loving me, shows me how much she's done for me. Now what did you do Hmm,"

She looked away, knowing she did nothing but annoyance for me.

"I would prefer to mate with someone who I love. You only love me for my worthy as a strong young member here. But you do not love me for who as I am... no one has ever considered my feelings and thoughts like Y/n does," I turned to my Ikran and glared at her, "I hope Y/n wins. She is worthy of me,"

I just don't know if I am worthy of her...
