Nervous | Aonung

.XXXIV

The natural bliss and beauty of the warming sunshine started to slowly sink; from the high heavens to the low-lying horizons. The sun started to stand down for the night as darkness arose. Watching all life scurry away for the night and prepare for the following day was comforting.

Aonung and I walked on the beach in comfortable silence; embracing each others presence.

I looked over to him, hoping we'll make eye contact so I can talk about the sunset but instead I see him staring at the ground smiling.

"What's on your mind?" I ask, giggling slightly.

"What? Oh, nothing," Aonung brushes me off, smiling at me.

"Oh really?" I smirk, looking back at the sunset.

"Yes really, what do you thinks on my mind?" He asks, nodding his head towards me calmly.

"I know," I emphasise the word 'know'. "I'm on your mind after what happened last night."

Aonung just chuckles as I smirk at him before turning away again to look at the sunset.

"Your not wrong," he mumbles below his breath but I heard it.

I haven't really had time to think about what happened last night because I got kicked out and fainted.

Now that I do think about it I can't stop smiling and it's annoying me because Aonung probably thinks I'm an idiot.

Shut up Ka'nu

"Ka'nu?"

Turning around I come face to face with Neteyam, making me smile. From the corner of my eye I could see Aonung rolling his eyes as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"Hey Neteyam," I smile, greeting him.

"Hey, are you ok?" He ask kindly, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yea I'm fine, you really didn't have to wait," I shrug my shoulders.

"Yes we did, we all care about you," Neteyam smiles.

He's such a good person.

"Aww thank you Neteyam," I thank him, reaching forward and giving him a hug.

"No problem," he smiles hugging me back. "Oh hey Aonung."

We break form the hug as I go back to where I was standing.

"Hey," Aonung mumbles, kicking the sand.

"Lo'ak, Kiri, Roxto, Tsireya and I are having a fire tonight in the forest, your welcome to come," Neteyam offers, looking at both of us.

"We'll be there," I smile linking arms with Aonung and I swear I felt his whole body relax.

"Yea," Aonung smiles awkwardly as Neteyam leaves.

"Bye," he waves as I wave back.

"He's so nice," I smile, letting go of Aonungs hand as we keep walking.

"He's very touchy," Aonung states blankly, walking beside me again.

Here we go
