Eyalu

Chapter 7

𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠..

The sun would shine into her face, Her eyes would open, she'd blink a couple times before covering her face with her hand, As she had an intense migraine. She groaned frustrated.
"I hate my life.."

She realized Tsireya was sleeping next to her. She attempted to wake her up by shaking her, All tsireya did was groan and smack her.
Eyalu sighed taking her blanket out of her Mauri with her used it as a hood/ shade.

She dragged her feet to the ocean with a large wooden bowl in her hand, She scoops up some nice cold water, she takes it back to her Mauri.
As she walked back she saw Neteyam looking around looking for her, He saw her and smiled
"Oh youre awake!"

"Mhm" she groaned looking straight and walking into her Mauripod
He follows her in. She places the bowl filled with cold water down, and also bends down.

"Headache?" He asked
"Yes.." she dunked her face into the cold water hoping it'll help.
He was shocked and laughed at her.

"It's going to take a lot more than cold water to help with a hangover.." he smiled
She sighed, "oh really? who told you that?" She replied
"My mother!"

"You told your mom!?" Her eyes widened
"Its okay she said she won't tell!"  He reassured her.
She sighed in relief.

"Why are you here?" She asked
"To help you with your hangover." He said as he got a cloth out and dipped it in the cold water.

"I don't need help.."
"I know but I want to!" He smiled
She slightly smiled back..
"Why?" She asked
"Because your a good friend to me!" He smiled taking the cloth out of the water.

Her heart sank as she was just friend zoned.. she was also annoyed by that!
He laid the cloth on her head gently laying her down.. he sat down on his knees making the regimen for hangovers.

"So what did I do when I was.. drunk?" She was nervous of course.
"Well you had an epic fight with a curtain!" He laughed starting a fire to make the soup, he stirred it slowly.

"What-" she was shocked
"Who won?" She laughed, he also laughed.

Tsireya then woke up with an aching headache. Eyalus headache was a lot better.. seeing Tsireya in pain she took the rag off her head, dipping in the cold water and put it on tsireyas forehead..
"Lay down, it helps!" She said, she noticed a tiny bruise on Tsireyas cheek.

She scooted herself toward Neteyam
"Anything else happen?" She nudged his arm, she was in crisscross position next to him, he looked at her and smiled
"Well.. you also tried to kiss me!" He said smirking continuing to stir the soup.

"What?!" Her heart started to beat faster as her eyes widened.
"Why?!" She asked
"Well, I was walking you back to your Mauri, and you said you were a good kisser, And asked if I wanted you to show me!" He said laughing

She gasped "did we kiss?! Did you take advantage of me?!" She grabbed onto his arm gently shaking it

"No! I knew you wouldn't want me if you weren't drunk.." he said, He then gently placed the herbs into the soup stirring it once again.

"Really? How do you know I don't want to kiss you right now?" She smirked and teased him.
"I mean we can.." he smirked back

"Oh my Eywa! Just kiss already! Everyone can see your chemistry!" Tsireya interrupted them sitting up.

"Haha! Very funny!" Eyalu said sarcastically, but deep down she was happy people thought they had chemistry

"Whatever, I need to get back to my family before I get grounded for a decade" she got up and waved walking back to her own Mauri
They waved back and said bye.

"So.. back to that kiss?" Neteyam teased, Eyalu gently punched his arm, she then went on to help him with the soup.
