Imagines

Roommate- human!jake sully x reader NSFW

You hated being a human on Pandora. You showed up in January 2154, young and alone. The head of security, Miles Quaritch, constantly demonized the natural life of Pandora. He claimed the indigenous were “savages” and that everything that lives in the forest wanted to kill us. Most of the time, you were confined to the boring human base, nestled next to a forest.

About a week after arriving, you befriended Grace Augustine and began to help her out with her lab work. She was almost like a mother to you. Norm was pretty much your brother, Trudy being a sister. It was your lab friends that made life worth living. The first time you ever left the base was with all three of them, to go collect samples with Grace. And you swore Pandora was the most beautiful place in the universe. The floating mountains, waterfalls, forest life, bioluminescence-  your eyes were glued out the door, and you'd take polaroids until your camera ran out of film. Since then, you were thoroughly invested in the avatar program, and dedicated your time to perfecting it. Though you never got an avatar yourself, you were fine with that.

Around 6 months after you showed up, a new member of the avatar program showed up. His name was Jake Sully, and he wasn't supposed to be there. His twin brother Tom had died before you even came to Pandora, and Tom was who Grace actually needed for her project. Jake was, unfortunately, the only person who could take Tom's place. When Jake arrived, it was Lyle Wainfleet who informed you of what he looked like before you met him. For some reason, Lyle thought it was funny. He had stormed into the cafeteria, sitting down next to you while you ate a small cup of macaroni and cheese.

"Wainfleet, what? It's my dinner break right now, a bitch needs to eat!" you snap, turning away as he settles down at your table. 

"Y/N, Pandora's got her first meal on wheels," he cackles, whispering to you. 

"The fuck are you talking about?" you squint, crossing your legs in annoyance. 

"Tommy Sully's dead, they've got his brother here-" he continues. 

"What.." your expression softens, a scared look plastering across your face. You never knew Tom, but how are you going to break this news to Grace? 

"Tom Sully's brother is a crippl-" he raises his eyebrows, trying to speak more clearly for you. 

"I don't care about his brother! How are we gonna tell Grace?" you set your fork down into your bowl of food, your appetite already having disappeared. 

"Bout Tom?" he grumbles. You nod. "Don't matter, they got the same genome, anyhow. The experiment oughta work either way." 

"You don't get it, whatever. Tell me about this new guy," you sigh, checking the time on your wrist. 

"His name is Jake Sully, he's a cripple. His legs don't work anymore, some spinal incident or sumth'n. Gets around in a wheelchair now. Good looking guy, Grace is gonna hate him though," he smiles at the last sentence. 

"Not funny," you shake your head. "Y'know where he's staying?" 

"Yea, residential building 3, unit 01." he looks down at the table. 

"Stop playing with me!" your eyes grow wide and you punch Lyle's shoulder, making him laugh again. 

"I'm not, that's where he's livin'! What's your problem?" he pushes your hand off, brows furrowing in confusion. 

"Oh god," you grumble, burying your face in your hands. His face lights up in realization. 

"Looks like someone's got a new roommate!" he teases, getting up from the table and hurrying out of the cafeteria before you can scold him. You accept your reality and get up to throw away your trash, knowing you have to head back to work. How the fuck did you end up with Sully? You knew at some point, all the unimportant people have to room with some other nobody. It's a rule- human camp shouldn't take up too much space. But you were enjoying your time alone. Your apartment was decorated all girly, and you knew it might change now. You just hoped to god that Jake wasn't as bad as he sounded.
