AU'RAIS POV
I was busy doing my punishment which was feeding all of the ilu and all of the skimwings which is not fun at all. The skimwings are okay they're not as much trouble as the ilu. The ilus are playful which is fine but it can get really freaking annoying when your just trying to feed them."Kaltxi Au'rai" I looked up to see Lo'ak walking towards me. I was confused to see him but happy nonetheless.
"Hey Lo'ak" I smiled back to him "what are you doing here?" I asked as I fed another fish to one of the ilu
"Well my parents told me to come help you out and they also said something about us spending more time together or something like that" he said shrugging.
"Spend more time together? What is that about?" I chuckled
"I think I may have an idea" he said scratching the back of his head "They sent Neteyam to go spend time with Tsireya and uh I don't know if you know this but our parents want the two of them to mate so I'm guessing..." he looked at me uncomfortably almost as if he didn't want to say the rest of his sentence. I get it. I know what he was going to say, our parents wanted us to mate together. Gross.
"Ohh" I said nodding my head avoided all eye contact with him.
"Yeahh" he said awkwardly
"How do you feel about Tsireya and Neteyam?" I questioned as I turned to look at him "I know you like her a lot so you mustn't be very happy"
He let out a sigh before he spoke.
"It sucks. I really do like her and I would like to get to know her more but I feel there's no point if she's just gunna...end up with him" I nodded my head at his words. I completely understand what he meant. "How do you feel about it?" He asked me
"I do not really care" I answered shrugging my shoulders. That was a complete lie, and he knew it because he looked at me like I had just said the most stupidest thing ever.
"You do not have to lie Au'rai" he giggled "it is obvious you like Neteyam"
Well there's no use in trying to hide it now. He caught me.
"I feel the same as you"
"Do you think they like each other?" He asked me
"Oh no, Tsireya likes you trust me Lo'ak, she told our parents that" I could see a smile make its way to his face "d-does Neteyam like her?" I asked nervously. I knew the answer would probably be yes, everyone liked Tsireya and no one really cared for me.
"No, he actually mentioned something about another girl"
"Oh" I was a bit disappointed but not surprised. But hey, at least he didn't like Tsireya.
"Yeah he said this girl was very beautiful and different"
"Cool" I responded slightly annoyed. I didn't want to keep hearing about the girl Neteyam liked so much. I heard Lo'ak start to laugh so I turned to look at him with a confused look. What was so funny?
"He was talking about you Au'rai" my eyes widened in shock "no need to get so jealous"
Wow. Neteyam likes me?

NETEYAM'S POV
Eywa this was awkward. Mine and Tsireyas parents sent us on a swim together and that would've been fine except for the fact that both Tsireya and I knew the reason behind it. They want us to mate, which is not going to happen."How uh do you feel about us, you know mating?" Tsireya asked me. I'm not going to lie to her I need to tell her how I feel.
"If I'm honest Tsireya, I'm not too happy about it" I looked at her "and trust me it is not you, you are amazing but I kinda have my eyes set on someone else" she smiled at me
"It is Au'rai right?"
"Yes" I nodded
"I understand, I also have a bit of a crush on your brother" she blushed
"I figured" I laughed.
"What are we going to do Neteyam? You are already 16 and my birthday is only a few months away. Once I turn 16 we will be forced to mate" she said as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Hey" I brought her in for a hug, I didn't know how else to comfort her "we will figure something out,okay? We will find a way so you can be with my brother and I can be with your sister" I held her in my arms hoping she would feel better "and if worse comes to worse you'll be stuck with me" I joked trying to make her smile, which worked because as she pulled away from the hug she giggled.
It wouldn't be all that bad, but I pray that worse does not come to worse.
