'Eywa this boy has me going insane.'

'I literally JUST found out he's destined to me, deemed him as my friend, and fucking kissed him ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT??? What is wrong with me!?'

'For the sake of myself I'll just assume all that flirting, and plus the kiss, only happened because of the whole destined mates thing.'

"Where were you last night Mora?" Neteyam asked, glancing up to her before returning to the bracelet he was working on.

"Ao'nung." She responded bluntly as she laid on her stomach while working on a new top, not even bothering to look up at her brother.

He snorted, "Seeing young love is just so heartwarming!" He said sarcastically, mocking their father. "But seriously though, I'm not surprised. At least tell me about how it went."

"Well we went on our second date and-"

"SECOND!?"

"Seriously, what is with you people and cutting me-"

"THERE WAS A FIRST DATE!?!"

She huffed and sat up. "Yes to both questions. Eywa, you're so lucky it's just us in the pod today because I seriously would've smacked you for that. I told you I didn't want anyone else knowing yet, not even Lo'ak."

Neteyam quickly placed his unfinished bracelet away and cleaned up his area. Once he was done he scooted closer to her, clasping his hands together eagerly as he practically was shaking with excitement to hear the story.

"Uhm okay so the first date wasn't very ideal. It was after that awkward night where you like begged me to talk to you and I literally dipped which.. was kinda fucked up now that I think about it." She chuckled. Now the situation was something the twins joke about.

"Kinda? Bro that was very fucked up. I was like, 'oh okay i'll just go fuck myself then I guess' like damn."

They both laughed at the comment together, obviously finding that specific moment a bit humorous now. Maybe more than just a bit actually.

"But yknow anyways. I left and he found me crying,"

"Aw."

"And he wanted to cheer me up and so he took me to somewhere nice, it was a very pretty cave by the way. At first I didn't really know it was a date until he mentioned that was where his parents went on their first date and I was like, 'oh okay!' but obviously not out loud yknow?"

"Very bold move on his part."

"Right? So then I put two and two together and was like, 'so you took me on a date to cheer me up?' and this boy over here was trying to be so nonchalant he was like, 'something like that' as if that wasn't his whole plan probably."

"I'm surprised just by hearing this. I would never expect Ao'nung to be someone who tried to cheer others up, let alone anyone from our family. It all makes sense now though I guess."

"Now the second. Oh Eywa, don't even get me started bitch." She placed a hand over her mouth, obviously fangirling mentally just at the mere thought of it.

Neteyam rolled his eyes, "So I'm assuming it was good." He said sarcastically, his tone flat.

"Good is an understatement."

"Damn, what did this boy do?"

"Teyam. He literally took me to another cave because I enjoyed the last one so much, but this one was way better. You could swim inside, there was a waterfall, it was relaxing, but the best part? There's a fucking forest almost exactly like home that surrounds it."

"You're lying."

"I swear to Eywa I'm not!"

"I'll believe it when I see it, but anyways continue." He picked up the cup beside him that was full of yoko juice and brought it to his lips, taking a sip as he listened to his sister speak.

"Basically we were exploring the forest a bit together before we actually went inside. We sat around the the pool, talked for a bit, swam around, oh yeah and then we kissed."

The juice immediately flew out his mouth. He didn't even get a chance to swallow it before it ended up splattered on Ra'mora's face. "Dude!" She exclaimed as she wiped her face with the back of her hands before she got up to grab a cloth.

"What the fuck was that for?" Her voice came out muffled due to the cloth being over her face as she wiped it clean.

"YOU GUYS KISSED!?"

"Who was kissing who?" Lo'ak asked as he entered the pod, his mouth full of food.

"YOU JUST FIGURED OUT THE BOY WAS DESTINED TO YOU AND YOU GUYS KISSED!?!"

Her eyes went wide once she noticed Lo'ak being there too. His eyes were wide too. He pointed a finger at Ra'mora, "YOU LIAR YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T DESTINED TO ANYONE!"

"Surprise?"

"OH MY EYWA AND SHE KISSED HIM TOO BRO CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?"

"YOU LITERALLY JUST FOUND OUT LIKE TWELVE HOURS AGO AND YOU KISSED HIM ALREADY??"

"Why do you guys have to be so damn loud?"

"BECAUSE YOU KISSED AO-"

She slapped a hand tightly over Neteyam's mouth, her eyes widening again. Lo'ak's eyes got even bigger if that was even physically possible, his jaw dropping as he placed both his hands on his head. "IT'S-"

"FUCKING WHISPER DAMN IT! BOTH OF YOU FOR THE LOVE OF EYWA!"

Lo'ak paced in a circle for a moment, his hand still on his head and his eyes as wide as ever. Neteyam bit Ra'mora's palm to which she let out a small hiss at as she immediately removed her hand. Lo'ak came back, his voice a whisper, "It's Ao'nung that you're destined to?"

"Yes bro!"

"Last time I checked Neteyam you aren't destined to him."

"Girl I'm just answering for you."

"Why are you even acting shocked? You're literally the first person I told..."

"HE KNEW FIRST!?!"

"HE'S MY TWIN LO'AK!"

"Well duh but happened to me stink-stink?"

"What about you?" The two said in sync.

Lo'ak smacked his teeth and rolled his eyes, "Stop playing bro. We're literally triplets don't you remember?"

"You're the certified uglier one then."

"I'm telling dad you basically called him ugly."

"I can't believe my twin is a dumbass but I can in fact believe my brother is dumber. Can we just go back to having a civil conversation like good siblings?"

"You were literally yelling first even before Lo'ak came..."

"What the hell is bro trying to act wise for?"

Neteyam pinched his nose bridge as he listened to his two siblings pick on him. 'I can never catch a damn break. One day. Just one fucking day in this household where I can have a break.'

"Can we just talk all together? Like, for real now?" His eyes flickered back and forth between Lo'ak and Ra'mora.

Ra'mora huffed then shrugged. "I guess." She mumbled as she walked past the two and back into her shared room. The two followed behind her, Lo'ak shutting the curtain after him. They sat in a small circle together. They all were being a bit more serious now, the boys mainly just trying to get more details on the two before the whole ceremony thing had happened.

"Okay, start from the beginning."
