Nervous | Aonung

.X

I've been walking through the forest for fucking hours. It's officially night time and I want to die right here, right now.

Oh my Eywa why did I have to be so fucking stubborn? Where am I gonna sleep tonight?

Didn't think about that did you Ka'nu?

For fucks sake I'm thirsty. Like really thirsty. I could fuck up some water right now. I swear I don't normally swear this much, it must be the dehydration.

I feel like dehydration would be a good name for a child if it had a different meaning.

Shut up Ka'nu

"Ka'nu?" aomeone asks.

Why does this always happen to me?

I knew who it was I could tell by their deep voice. Maybe he didn't see me? Maybe it's too dark?

"I can see you," he says again.

He's probably talking to someone else. I began to walk away quickly, hoping to Eywa he'd get the message.

He did not

Grabbing my wrist firmly and making me turn around I'm met with Aonungs stupid face. Attractive, but stupid.

"I was talking to y-,"

"You knew?" I suddenly ask.

"What?" He questions, making me realise I needed context.

"You knew we are to mate?" My voice cracks, tears threatening to break.

I hate crying. Who even invented it? Like who on pandora thought crying is a good idea because I have unpleasant plans for them if we ever meet.

"Oh," Aonung pauses.

"Yeah oh, you knew and you didn't tell me?" I push one of my fingers into his chest as I stepped closer.

"Well when I found out a couple years ago I though if we never talke-,"

"You found out years ago!" I yell.

"Shh, shh, villagers are sleeping," Aonung raises a finger to his lips looking around.

We were deep in the forest no one would be able to hear us and I'm way beyond taking orders right now.

"So what? There going to be my people, I don't care if they wake up," I scoff, turning around.

"Look, I thought it would all go away, maybe it was just a prank," Aonung sighs when I turned around.

"Why would this be a prank Aonung?" I cross my arms over my chest, still not looking at him.

"Ka'nu I had no choice."

"You still should've told me!" I whisper yell, turning around to face him.

"I-I thought if we didn't talk my parents and your Nan would see we're not a match," Aonung seems so sad and I almost felt bad.

Almost

"When did you find out?"

"What?"

"I said when did you find out? How old were you!" I whisper yell again.

"15! Ok? I was a dumb 15 year old and I made a mistake, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but there's no going back now," Aonung points out.

He was right, fucking hell

"Eywa I hate my Nan," I chuckle, kneeling down as I avoided eye contact.

"No, don't hate her," Aonung says sincerely.
