AU'RAIS POV
I angrily walked back to the hut where I was treating Lo'ak. I wasn't just angry, I was sad. My whole life I've always been compared to Tsireya, I've always known I wasn't as good as she was. And apparently Neteyam thinks the same. I walked into the hut crying and was faced with a concerned look from Lo'ak.

"Au'rai what is wrong?" When I was about to speak Neteyam came in close behind me.

"Why don't you tell him Neteyam?" I asked turning to face him.

"Tell me what?" Lo'ak questioned

"Nothing it's-"

"Nothing? Neteyam are you serious?"

"Au'rai"

"No! Tell him! Tell Lo'ak about how you kissed Tsireya!" I yelled

"You kissed Tsireya?!" Lo'ak lunged at Neteyam and pushed him harshly.

"Bro it wasn't like that!"

"Then what was it like?! You kissed her for fun?!" I yelled.

Before Neteyam could answer me Lo'ak punched him right in the jaw and caused Neteyam to fall.

"You're fucking dead to me!" Lo'ak said to Neteyam before leaving the hut. Neteyam got up and came towards me.

"Au'rai please let's talk" He said grabbing for my hand before I pulled it away.

"Get away from me!"

"Hey" he grabbed my waist and pulled me in closer to him "please" he gave me a pleading look. Tears started to build in my eyes and slowly started to stream down. He pulled me in closer and I cried in his arms.

"Why did you kiss her Neteyam? I-I thought you liked me!" I sniffled

"I do! And I don't just like you" he grabbed my face and made me look at him "I love you." I stayed quiet. "Au'rai please say something"

I let out a loud sigh before speaking.

"If you love me why did you kiss her?" This time he stayed silent. Even he didn't have an answer. I pulled away from his arms. "You know maybe this is for the best, you're supposed to be with her anyway. Besides she's not the problem, I am"

"Please don't do this. I don't want to mate with her I want to mate with you!"

"That may be, but you must be with her! It's what's going to happen anyways so I'm glad that you two have taken a liking to each other already! Maybe, with time, Lo'ak and I will do the same" I shrugged

Neteyam gave me a glare and came closer to me.

"Don't do that Au'rai"

"Do what?"

"Don't pretend that he is the one you want. You are mine not his and you never will be. No matter how hard you try I'll always be the one in your heart, not Lo'ak"

"Maybe you are the man in my heart right now, but obviously, I am not the woman in yours" I said before leaving the hut and going to look for Lo'ak. I'm sure he needed comforting as well as I did.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

I walked all around the island trying to find Lo'ak. He was nowhere to be found. I gave up and went to my special place on the rocks and to my surprise there he was. I walked to him and saw he had his knees to his chest with his arms wrapped around them.

"Hey" I said taking a seat next to him

"Hi" he replied. We were silent for a moment before he spoke again "I'm sorry for hitting Neteyam. I'm just really angry with him right now"

"It's okay, he deserved it" I shrugged "I should've slapped Tsireya when I got the chance" I said making Lo'ak chuckle.

"How long do you think this has been going on?" I looked at him confused "them liking each other I mean"

"I don't know" I shrugged "I didn't even know they did like each other. They both made that big speech about being with who they truly love but they should've just left it alone if they were going to do that"

Lo'ak nodded his head in agreement.

"It just sucks because...for my whole life I've always been..."

"Second?" I said finishing his sentence for him. He looked at me and we locked eyes.

"Yeah" he nodded

"Me too."

"Maybe we could...be second together?" Lo'ak said looking at me. I gave him a smile and giggled.

"Sure. We make sense together anyways" I said

And it's true. We do make sense together. My whole life I've never known anybody like me, until I met Lo'ak. He is just as reckless as I am and just as free. Lo'ak and I are different from Neteyam and Tsireya in that sense. Their whole world is controlled by other people, but no one controls us. Lo'ak and I could do no more damage to each other, being together, than we could being apart. So it made sense. Well, in my brain it did, but in my heart....it's a different story.
