Love does exist: Neteyam x male reader.

Chapter 4: The Date.

Neteyam's Pov

As I reached to my Mouri, all I could think of was that I accidently asked the boy I like on a date. usually it would be fine, if I knew him better, I mean we had only met yesterday yet I have feelings for him. it was complicated as I used to have crushes on girls back home and it was easy to confess my feelings. but now knowing that I like a guy now is kind of confusing as anytime I see him, he would make my heartbeat fast, he would make me nervous, he made me feel like I could myself around him.

"So, tell me how everyone's day was." mother said breaking the silence. "It was boring, Lo'ak mostly stayed with his girlfriend and Kiri stayed with her boyfriend." Tuk answered. Lo'ak and Kiri immediately blushed at that comment. "Is that so." mother said smirking at my 2 middle siblings. "And Neteyam, how was your day." she asked me. "Good nothing to special, just some breathing exercises, chatted for a bit and came home." I answered not talking about Ateyo's ability.

"Thats not true. Ateyo healed my arm when I got cut from a piece of coral." she said. at that point mother looked at Tuk and grabbed her arms looking for a cut. "I see no cut." she said looking confused. "He has some." was all she could say before I covered her mouth. "Tuk it is a secret remember." I whispered in her ear. "Nothing mother she is just joking." I said trying to calm things down.

"I'm home" dad said as he walked in. "Dad!" Tuk screamed as she ran to him. He picked he up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "So, how's everybody doing." he said only to see a nervous me, mother eyeing me and Lo'ak and Kiri blushing. "I missed a lot didn't I." he asked. "Yes, a lot." mother answered still eyeing me. we all ate dinner and went to bed, well not me as I was fake sleeping.

When I knew everyone was asleep, I got up slowly and quietly making sure not to make a noise.

I reached to the place where I asked him on a date to see he was not there. I waited for a while to see him walking towards me. that made me feel relief as I thought he stood me up.

Ateyo's Pov

As I reached home, I couldn't stop thinking about Neteyam and the fact that I agreed to go on a date with him. 

I had my own Mouri as I was above age and the main defense of our village. I started to eat my dinner that I already made in the morning. Since I had a lot of time before to date, I started to sharpen my spear. I see the lights of other Mauris go off so that is when I knew it was the right time to go and meet Neteyam.

I got ready and started going to the place where he asked me out. As I was going, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I said yes to go on the date. I mean usually when someone asks me on a date, I reject them but this time I said yes, and it felt very weird.

As I reached the place where Neteyam asked me out, I could see him waiting for me and his face looked relieved. "So, what are we going to do" I ask to which he responds, "Follow me.". I follow him to see that he was taking me to where all the Ikran's were. "Are you feeding me to them." I ask jokingly to him. "Do you really think I would do that." he answered. "Maybe" I answered.

We reached to a particular Ikran to which I remembered that it was Neteyam's. "She's beautiful." I say admiring the Ikran. "Zola is a feisty one. doesn't liked to be touched by any random person." he said. "Mind if I try." I say to him, "Be my guest." he answered. I slowly put my hand close to the Ikran to pet it. As my hand went closer, her face came closer, and I felt her soft cold scaly skin touch my hand. "Guess she likes you." He said smiling at what was happening.  I start to give her a neck scratch and see that some of her scales are not fully developed. "She's 5." I say and see that Neteyam was impressed.

"How about we take her for a ride." he said. "Wait really." i ask. "Sure, but that is only if you want to." he told me. "Sure, I'd like that. I speak. I get on Zola and loosely wrap my hands around Neteyam's chest, so I don't fall. He connected his braid to the Ikran and then we took off.

The second they took off, I felt a huge change in speed and held onto Neteyam tighter trying not to fall. After some time, we were flying smoothly through the air. I release my hold on Neteyam and scream with joy as we fly around the islands in our reef. I start to relax as we glide in the sky, we see a really long tree decided to land there for some time.

We landed on one of the branches and Neteyam helped me get down. we went on another branch and decided to sit on it. we looked at the starry night until he asked, "Ok I am tired of waiting, you have to tell me everything.". "Are you sure, it's a lot to process if I tell you everything." I say to which he responds, " Yes, you have to tell me everything. No more secrets.". "Fine! you win I'll tell you everything" I gave in. His eyes lit up when he heard this and immediately started asking me questions.

"Is your entire family like this or just you?" He asked. "Nope, just me. My mother is Metkayina while my father was like me. My siblings however are like my mother. My twin brother looked like my mother and pure Metkayina while my older sister looked like a mix of both my parents." I answered. "How different?" he asked to which I respond with, "She had a lighter skin tone like my father and her eyes were purple like mine." I said answering his question.

"So how come we haven't seen any of your siblings." He asked to which I answer, " My sister fell in love with another Mekayina Na'vi and he was from another village so after they mated, she moved to her mate's village, while my brother died five years ago because of an Akula attack.". "Oh a... sorry about your brother." He spoke. " it's really um it's just that I was with him when it happened. I saw everything that happened, and I keep getting nightmares about that night. I don't know I just feel like I should have done more to save him, but I couldn't." I say almost tearing up.

"If you are blaming yourself than don't. it is not your fault, you had nothing to do with his death." he said trying to comfort me. "It's fine really it's just that i didn't think that it would still hurt even after five years." I speak.

At that moment he said something the surprised me. "You know what, how about we race." he said to which I say, "Sorry what?" I ask. "You heard me, let's race. me on my Ikran and you fly. let's see who makes it to the village first." He said cheering me up. " All right, prepare to get your ass beaten." I speak. "we'll see about that." He spoke.

He went on Zola and connected his braid to her while I stood next to them. "Ready." He said to which i respond with "Yup.". "GO!" he shouted but I stayed behind giving him a head start. "Three. Four. Five." I said to myself and though he had a long enough head start So I started to fly.

I was able to catch up with him and reach at his speed. I was right above him, but he didn't seem to notice. I taped on his head and saw the surprise on his face. "What the, how did you." was all he could say.

I immediately sped to the island passing Neteyam and reached in about 5 minutes. I waited for Neteyam to arrive and 15 minutes later he came. " There you are what took you so long." I said mocking him. "How did you fly that fast." he said in amazement. "I don't know, but the real question is how did you know that racing will cheer me up." I asked. "Let's just say I asked Tsiraya what you liked." He answered. "Well let's just say it worked." I spoke.

"Well, it looks like it's getting late. we have to go home." I said and saw and sad Neteyam. "Don't worry, there is always a next time." I said to which Neteyam says," Wait, there is a next time.". "Maybe but only if you get lucky." I say and with that I start to walk home.

I reach home and lay down to go to bed but all I could think about was Neteyam. I could feel my feelings for him increase with every passing day, but still unsure if I want him to be mine but too tired to think I fell asleep.

Authers note: Hey everyone, sorry if this chapter took so long. I was really busy with collage and my part time job that I almost forgot about writing this book so as you can see, new chapters will take some time for me to make.
