i love you

Lo'ak

-lo'ak's pov-

As soon as i enter neteyams room i notice it didn't look or smell clean like it did bifore it's rude to say that but it's true.

He was sitting on his bed and i close the door behind me

Handing him the mashed potatoes
And meat with veggies on the side

"here eat"

He takes the plate looks at it and places it on his work table

"i'm not hungry"

It sounded so weak but i didn't want to force him

I notice he was still wearing the same clothes he wore the day he came home

Knowing him he wouldn't take it of so i had to trick him

"hey you have someting here"

I say pointing to his shirt

He looked so confused

"lift your hands up so i can see what it is"

He lifts them up and i quckly take his hoodie off i stand up and grab a little bit of the mashed potatoes

Rubbing it on the hoodie

"LO'AK WHAT THE HELL!"

He yelled running twords me takeing the hoodie off of my hands looking at the stain.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

He was mad mad

"bc you can't wear the same clothes for 3 fucking days!"

He quckly turned around placeing his hand on the bottom of his neck

"fuck" he wisperd

"you ok?"

Why was he acting so weird it wasn't like him

"yea i'm fine"

Running twords his closet takeing new hoodie out but i stop him.

"WAIT!"

He turned around and looked at me his hand still on his neck

"You should take a shower"

Suprisingly he did as i said

-neteyams pov-

I grab all the things i needed for the shower and i quickly run into the bathroom.

Looking at the hickey in the mirror that still didnt disappear fully.

"hey bro you fo-"

Great now lo'ak knows.

I grab him by his shirt pulling him in the bathroom locking the door

"how the hell? What?... Wait.
WHO?! Don't tell me it's who i think it is!"

Half of that i didnt even understand

But it was loud so i plase my hand on his mouth

(jk like this 👄<--✋)

"be quiet dumbass"

I shigh takeing my hand off
He was still shocked

"so is it?"

Now he was wispering... good.

"it is.. But pls don't tell anyone especially not him"

Glareing at him he tries to answer

"i-i wo-" he was cut off

By

My

MOTHER!!

she knocked on the bathroom door

"what are you two doing in there?
and what should lo'ak not tell me neteyam?"

SHIT.

"NO-NOTHING WE WHERE JUST TALKING"

I yell so she can hear me

"no need to yell i can hear you.
but open this door right now if you don't have anything to hide!"

She started to turn the door knob

I was panicking then i feel lo'ak put his hands on my shoulders

"she knows you ar-"

he pauzes and looks to his side

"no she dosent only me kiri dad and tuk know bc you told mom the kiss was a dare and you didn't come out to h-... her"

Then back at me

"you are fucked my guy"

I panic even more

"neteyam, lo'ak open the door"

Lo'ak starts going closer to the door signaling to me that he is opening it bc we have no choice at this point.

He opens the door and i brake down shakeing, sobbing, crying

"mom i-i'm so sorry i d-d-didn't mean to l-lie i j-just d-d-d"

I couldnt finish since i was crying so hard it took me out of breath my mom sat down next to me

"calm down sweet boy.. Everything is going to be fine. Just take a deep breath"

She puts her hand on my chest and i take a deep breath exhaling it after 3 seconds of holding it in

Reapiting the step till i was able to talk.

I was Scared of how my mom would react

"now that we calmed ourselfs down you can tell me what happend"

Ik she saw the mark on my neck
But she didnt wanna say anyting about it.

"i-i like boys mom"

I didn't dare to face her

"oh baby.."

She put her hands on my cheeks and turned me around to look at her

"i love you no matter who you love"

She pulled ne into a hug.

-lo'aks pov-

I just stud there

I didn't see neteyam cry more in my life

If i think about it the only time i saw him cry is now and when out dad yelled at him 2 days ago.

Ik he was in pain and thats ok bc he is human after all. Right?
