Lily Pad [Ao'nung x Reader]

Six

"What I told you?! Not to go out!." Your mother's yelling made your eye squeeze a tear. It's morning and your mother scolds you while your siblings are eating, feeling bad for you. Ao'nung already apologized to them and seeing their sister still being grounded for something she didn't do.

"But mother, why can't I?" You looked at her irritated face with confusion. What exactly is the reason she is not letting you out?

"I told you, that Ao'nung is not to be around you. He will just hurt you." Your eyes furrowed from her words.

"But it was an accident! Beside his been nice to me after!" Then you realized that you just revealed something to Neytiri. If one is clear, she told her kids to not let you near Ao'nung when going outside.

"...You've been sneaking out to meet him?" You gulped. You just messed up. Now she really won't let you out. Your mother hissed from anger. She can't believe her daughter just did something against her.

Neteyam sighed, "mother, don't you think that your strangling (y/n), by doing this?" He spoke up. He felt bad for you. Everyone do. Seeing your happiness and bubbly personality has been straining through weeks. It's like you weren't the same person anymore.

"No, I'm not. I'm just protecting her—" her words cut off. You had enough, you stand up with tears in your eyes as if it is a faucet, lips pursed, eyebrows curled.

"You're not protecting me! You're hurting me!" You ran and left your marui while crying. Passing your father who just went back from a meeting with Olo'eyktan. Jake look at Neytiri who has worry plastered on her face.

"She didn't meet you today?" Tsireya whispered. Ao'nung look at her blankly. He didn't know why, but you didn't meet him today. Probably you go sick? Something happened that he didn't know. But there's still the whole day, he knows that you ditched your siblings just to meet him so it not a lost at all.

"Where's (y/n)?" Tsireya asked Lo'ak. Both of the siblings noticed that you're not with them today and now Ao'nung is a bit worried.

"Mother caught (y/n) sneaking out," he the look at Ao'nung, "to meet Ao'nung." That's why you didn't come this morning, you got caught. Ao'nung worries grew, he wanted to go check on you in your marui, but he figured that your mother seeing him wouldn't be good.

"Is she still at home?" Ao'nung asked. Lo'ak look down and sighed.

"No, she's been missing. She had an argument with mom and ran away. We're trying to find her."

"Ma'ite! Where are you?" Neytiri kept yelling. The last time she saw you, you were running on the forest part of the island. Crying. Hearing you cry like that made Neytiri filled with guilt, she really wanted to protect you. She doesn't realize that it could also hurt you by doing that.

Jake met with the Olo'eyktan to know about the situation. Tonowari then send some people to find you in the forest. Tsireya and Ao'nung also join in. Everyone was yelling your name trying to find you. Tsireya and Ao'nung then split to find you.

While Ao'nung walk near a cove, he heard small sniffles and sobs. He walk slowly inside the cave where the noise gotten louder. He then saw a sight if you curled up into a ball, your white dress is soaked from dirty puddle and your own tears, and leaned against a huge rock.

"Ma'(y/n)..." He said. Your head turn up seeing him. Your lips pouted and tears flows as you do. He walk to you and sat beside you. Immediately you felt his warm embrace, fingers rubbing your shoulder. You lay your head on his chest.

"It's so unfair... so unfair Ao'nung." You wiped your tears with your back hand. He placed his lips on your forehead.

"I know, but that won't stop us being lovers," He cupped your cheeks, "no one will. I love you, (y/n)" he then kisses you. You felt his soft lips, his soft tongue, and his warm breath.

"I love you too, Ao'nung." You hugged him tightly.

"Everyone! (y/n) is found! Tsireya shouted for everyone to hear. Neytiri felt relieved. She saw you walk with Ao'nung beside you. You also saw her, but you look down not wanting to make any eye contact with her. Neytiri' ears slightly lowered. Now she saw the impact of her. She ran to you, hugged you immediately and started crying.

"O ma'ite, I'm sorry." She cried. You also hugged her, patting her back, saying it's alright. She kisses your forehead and hugging you again. After that everyone went back to doing their own business. Needless to say Neytiri is somehow grateful Ao'nung found you.
