The day passes as Neteyam gets rest and recovers from his injury. He decides to take a walk, Neteyam slowly rose, wincing slightly as he moved. He took a moment to steady himself before walking out onto the night. He spotted you standing a short distance away, watching the stars in the night sky.
   
He limps slightly to where you stood, leaning against a tree to take the weight off his still-healing wound. He slowly approached you quietly and stood beside you, looking up at the sky as well. There was a moment of silence as he finally decides to break it.
   
"Couldn't sleep?" He softly asks.
   
"How could I?" I look down still feeling guilty.
"Your mother doesn't like me does she?"
"The way she looked at me, I can only blame myself"
   
Neteyam sighs and shakes his head
   
"It's not your fault, and you shouldn't blame yourself. My mother probably doesn't know you very well yet, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like you. She's just... wary. She just needs some time to get used to the fact that you're not like her. But that doesn't change anything. I care about you, and that's all that matters."
   
"I care about you too" I softly spoke, a little nervous.
   
Neteyam feels his heart skip a beat at your words. He looks at you, his expression softening as he confesses.
   
"I know you do. And I care about you too. More than you could ever imagine."
   
I smile softly, I look at him with gentle and caring eyes. "I never properly thanked you for jumping in front of me earlier."
   
Neteyam smiles at you, his eyes filled with affection. "You don't have to thank me, I'd do it again in a heartbeat"
   
My eyes widened a bit in shock wondering if I heard that right. I look at him. "w-what?"
   
Neteyam chuckled slightly at your surprised expression. His expression serious yet sincere.
   
"I said I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I would always choose to protect you, no matter what."
   
His words making me get little butterflies. "But why? We're too different." I avoid eye contact with him.
   
Neteyam steps closer to me, a serious expression on his face.
   
"Different? So what? That doesn't matter to me. I don't care about our differences. I care about you. You're kind, strong, and beautiful, and I can't imagine not having you in my life."
   
I look at him, I blush a bit and felt butterflies at his words.
"you're just saying that" I spoke in a unsure tone. I look down as I felt him sit next to me.
   
Neteyam chuckles softly, his eyes never leaving yours.
   
"I'm not just saying that. I mean it, with all my heart. You're special to me, reader. "
   
My heart was going to burst out of my chest. I look into his eyes not knowing what to say, feeling overwhelmed with what was happening. He gazes into my eyes, his expression gentle and sincere.
   
"I've never felt this way about anyone before. You've somehow managed to capture my heart, and I'm not gonna let you go. Do you understand that?"
   
I look into his eyes and gently nod. I gently touch his hand as I look at him with affection.
   
He feels a shiver run down his spine as you gently touch his hand. He intertwines his fingers with yours, his heart racing at the touch. He looks into your eyes with a mixture of tenderness and admiration.

He feels overwhelmed with emotions, the feeling of your hand in his making his heart soar. He gently pulls you closer to him, his other hand reaching up to cup your cheek.

He gazes at you with a mix of tenderness and admiration. The air between you feels electric, the tension building with each passing moment. He gently caresses your cheek with his thumb, his touch feather-light but filled with such care and warmth.

He can feel his breath quicken as you slowly lean forward. His heart is pounding in his chest, and he can feel his resolve weakening. He can feel the pull between you, like a magnet drawing him closer to you. He hesitates for a moment, but then his hand slides to the back of your neck, gently pulling you even closer to him.

The stars shine making the night more beautiful and the moment more special.

He looks at you, bathed in the soft light of the stars, and his breath hitches. The moment feels magical, like it was meant to be. With gentle pressure from his hand on your neck, he pulls you even closer, his lips gently brushing against yours in a slow, tentative kiss.

He feels a wave of warmth and tenderness wash over him as you kiss him back. He slowly deepens the kiss, his hand gently caressing the nape of your neck, pulling you closer, his other hand gently resting on your hip. The feeling of your lips against his is unlike anything he's ever experienced before, and he never wants this moment to end.

Shooting stars streak across the night sky as I look up and admire them. I gently put my head on his shoulder. Neteyam wraps his arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer against his side as you put your head on his shoulder. He looks up at the sky as well, but his mind completely focused on you. He smiles warmly, feeling a sense of contentment and peace wash over him as he holds you in his arms.

Neteyam knew that the moment wouldn't last forever, but he wished it could. He dreaded the thought of having to let you go, even for a moment. He watched the stars silently with you in his arms, savoring every second he had with you, knowing that soon you would have to part.
