Avatar 2009 (Tsu'tey x OC)

Chapter 7

*My POV*

Neytiri, Tsu'tey and I waited one morning in the village, rather annoyed. Jake wasn't in bed this morning and so far he was nowhere to be seen. He was late for lessons. 

"How's it going?" Jasiri asked as her and Stitch approached us. 

"Fine." Neytiri shrugged. "Jake is no where to be see. He's late for lessons." Neytiri rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. 

"He has a good reason." Stitch shrugged and we looked at her surprised. We narrowed our eyes at her and they let out grins, looking over our shoulders. 

"What?" We asked and turned. When we did we gasped. 

Jake and Grace were walking into the village together. Not a single warrior stopped them. Neytiri and Tsu'tey looked at their siblings and back at Jake and Grace. Large smiles crept onto their faces and they ran towards them with me, Stitch and Jasiri on their heels. 

"I see you, Neytiri, Tsu'tey." Grace greeted them and they laughed. 

"We see you, Grace." They said. 

Quickly they pulled her in for a hug, which she gratefully accepted. Stitch and Jasir quickly after. This was the first time since her school had closed down that they had seen her and were able to speak to her. 

I was standing next to Jake. "You convinced Mo'at?" I asked. He smiles and nods. 

Neytiri and Tsu'tey looked at Jake and I and Jake was grinning down at Neytiri.

"How did you get her here?" Neytiri asked with a raised brow. 

"Last night after dinner. I convinced Mo'at into letting Grace come back." He shrugged. 

We watched Stitch and Jasiri drag her closer towards some of her old students who approached with just as much happiness as we had shown her. 

Tsu'tey smiled and picked me up and had me on his back as I laughed happily. 

"I see you. Wow. Look how big you are." Grace greeted the children that began surrounding her. "Oh, you are so pretty." Neytiri turned and looked at Jake's face studying him for a movement. 

"What? Do I have more mud on my face?" He asked with a groan of annoyance. His hands traveling to his face to rub it off. 

"No. No mud." Neytiri frowned slightly. "Why? Why help bring Grace?"

"Why did I help her get welcomed back?" Jake asked confused by her expression as Tsu'tey and I watched. Jake rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I, uh, saw pictures of you and Grace from a long time ago. I know you don't open up to me much, but remember when you mentioned missing her? I-I wanted to do something nice for you and Grace." Jake mumbled. 

"Y-You did this. For me?" Neytiri asked shocked and he nodded with a shrug. 

Neytiri was so overcome with emotion at the kind gesture, that she leapt forward and laughed, wrapping her arms around his torso. Jake stiffened for a moment, before quickly returning the gesture, wrapping his arms around Neytiri and letting out a content sigh. 

Tsu'tey and I smiled at them as Tsu'tey held me closer since I was still on his back. 

The sparks raged between them and Neytiri pulled away after a moment, before clearing her throat as their eyes met. There was something in them this time that they weren't used to seeing. They both blushed and moved a few paces away from each other. 

Down the tree line Neytiri could see Ryan stiff, with an annoyed scowl on his face. Neytiri sighed and reminded herself, she could not fall for Jake. That simply wasn't meant to happen....
