Toxic Love

Trust your instincts

Aonung's POV:

    I woke up to the sound of purring. I feel.. lighter. Light a heavy feeling on my shoulders just flew away. Thank you Eywa. Thank you for lifting that horrible storm off my mind and body. My eyes adjusted to the bright light coming from my curtains. I groan, trying to get up, but I can't. Something is on top of me. I lift up the cover in confusion, my face instantly changing to a childish grin. Him. He was laying on top of my chest. He was in bed with me. That's something I thought I would never see again. I yawn, rubbing my eyes, lifting the covers off of us. He groans, turning his face around, trying to reach the covers. I laugh, sitting up in bed, with him now on my lap. His eyes stammer open, and when they fully open, they lock with mine. I smile, kissing his forehead.
"Good morning." I said, my voice raspy from last night. He yawns and puts his face in the crook of my neck.
"Morning nung." I smile softly, my heart fluttering while remembering how much that nickname meant to me. He looks back up at me smiling too. Ewya, why is he so pretty? His beautiful eyes, and soft lips. We both stare at each other, like we're both in a trance. He smirks at me, and moves his lips closer to mine. I tilt my head moving more closer to his lips as well. We are now only a few centimeters away from each other, so I close my eyes and wait for him to pull me in and kiss me. He starts giggling, and I open my eyes in confusion. He covers his mouth trying to hide his laughter. I pout and frown realizing that he wasn't going to kiss me. Damn, now I'm realizing how bad it makes Kiralu feel. Oh well. I won't be seeing her anymore so it doesn't matter. He sighs, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Come on nung, I'm not gonna kiss you with morning breath. Get up, time to get ready for the day." I groan, rolling over on my stomach, trying to convince him to let me stay in bed longer.
"Aonung. Get up now." I turn my head to look at him, his hands on his hips. I roll my eyes playfully, and get up as well.
"Finee." I pick up my hair tie from the bed, tying my hair back into its original bun. He walks past me into the bathroom. He pops his head back out, his beads clinking against each other.
"I'm going to shower. You coming ?" I lick my lips, walking towards the bathroom. He hangs his hand out for me, pulling me into the bathroom.

We get out of the shower, and I wrap a towel around my waist. He wraps a towel around his body and goes to look at himself in the mirror.
"Damn, did you have to bite me that hard ? There are hickeys everywhere on me." He turns to me frowning. I look at his collarbone, tracing my fingers over a mark. I kiss it, in hopes to make it feel better.
"I'm sorry. I'll try to calm down, but you have to know that it's hard. Once I start going, I can't stop." He kisses his teeth and slaps my shoulder. I put my hands up in defense as he walks out the bathroom to go change.
"So, what are you doing today?" He says, while putting on his shorts.
"Uhm, I don't really know." I say while shrugging. "I don't have work until Wednesday. I do have some errands to run though." I say, while putting on a wifebeater shirt on. "Wanna come with me to do them ?"
"Mhmm, no I think I'll stay. My legs hurt because a certain someone went too fast after I repeatedly asked them to calm down." I chuckle to myself.
"Oh I'm sorry Mr, faster Aonung, please faster !" I say, mocking him. He side-eyes me and turns back towards the bathroom, mumbling things under his breath.
I finish getting ready, and go downstairs to say bye to Neteyam. I smell herbs coming from my kitchen, so I know he's probably lit some incense sticks. I also know that he's talking to Ewya right now. Neteyam has always been spiritual, way more than I ever have. That's one of the things I love most about him. When I get downstairs, I see him sitting on the floor of my sitting room with his eyes closed. For a while, I stare at him. My heart tugs towards him everytime I look at him. He's my other half. He's the part of me I was missing for so long. Now that I have him again, I'm not letting go. He opens his eyes, and looks up at me in a peaceful way. He grins and reaches out his hand for me to help him up. I grab his hand and pull him close to me.
    "I saw you were talking to Ewya. I didn't want to disturb you, I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving now."
    "It's ok nung, and you don't disturb me. I was just finishing up anyways."
    "If I may ask, what were you talking to her about ?"
    "I was asking her how my family is. I wanted to know if they were ok. She told me they were. That's all." I hum to his response, and pull him into a hug.
    "I'll be back in a few baby. You sure you'll be fine right ?" He chuckles, and pulls apart from the hug.
    "I know this house from the inside out. I will be fine. You should get going before it gets late though."
    "Ok." I respond sighing. I kiss his forehead and he smiles softly.
    "Bye tey."
    "Bye nung." I turn around and walk to the door. 'Don't go.' I hear someone whisper in my ear. I stop in my tracks, and turn back around. I twist my face in confusion when I see that Neteyam was walking back upstairs. He couldn't have been the one to say it, so who did ? I shake my head and turn back around, walking outside my house.
    I'm almost finished with my errands, I think to myself. Just one more to go. Neteyam's food. I arrive at the food spot that he loves, and walk inside. There's a group of metkayina girls sitting at a table. I walk past them and hear giggling and whispering. I scoff, rolling my eyes. As fucking if. I open my phone up, and read Neteyam's food request to the cashier. She looks bored as hell working here. Shit, I would be too. She sighs and says,"20.92 please." I pay with my black card, just to see if that would wake her up a little. No reaction. Oh well. I tried. As expected, it went through. She sighed again, and turned to make the food. Let me text Neteyam to tell him I got his food.
    "Hey handsome." I look up and see one of the girls from earlier standing in front of me. I mug her, and look back down at my phone.
    "Hey, don't you wanna get my number ?" I roll my eyes, and look back up at her. Her voice is giving me a migraine.
    "And why would I want to do that ?" I ask in a cold way. She smiles at me and says," Well I'm hot, and you're hot. Two hot people should be together, don't you think ?" She smirks.
    "Uhm, first of all, Ew. Second of all, I am with a hot person right now, so back off freak." She scoffs and puts her hand on her hip.
    "Well she doesn't have to know hottie. Cmon, give me your number, and I promise I'll treat you better than whoever that girl is." I chuckle at the girl part. This bitch is dumb. I'm about to say something else to end her annoying rant about her nasty fantasies with me, but I'm interrupted by the cashier.
    "Didn't you hear him ? He said no you snake. I'm sick of you and your annoying ass friends coming into my restaurant to harass every guy you see. Get the fuck out." She says. The girl's jaw drops, and then she scoffs.
I tilt my head and say,"Didn't you guys hear her ? Get out." I say while smirking. "Oh and also, that 'girl' you were talking badly about ? He's a boy." Her eyes widen as big as saucers, then she quickly twists her face to stone cold. She flips her hair, and sashays out of the restaurant, her nasty friends following her like lap dogs. I laugh. Pathetic. I turn back to the girl, and she hands me my food.
    "Thanks for that. You're cool." I say, reaching my hand out for a friendly handshake. She nods her head at me, and shakes my hand.
    "Thanks. You seem cool too. I'm Kamea. I'm also like you." I let go of her hand, and tilt my head in confusion. She laughs.
    "I'm dating a girl." I make an 'oh' type of face and nod. I feel my phone vibrating, so I check it. Neteyam was calling me. I answer, and start talking.

    "Hey tey. Sorry, I'm coming with your food now. Wha-" I was cut off with the sound of a sob. I furrow my "eyebrows".
    "Please come home quickly. I'm hurt. Bad. Please Aonung, I need help.." I widen my eyes, and respond back quickly.
    "I'll be there in a few minutes my love. Please stay there. Don't move, you might get more hurt." I can hear more sobs and sniffles. Fuck.
    "Ok." I hang up the phone and look back to Kamea. I should have stayed home. I should have listened. I look back up at Kamea.
    "I have to go. It was nice meeting you though. I hope we meet again." She nods, and waves goodbye. I wave back, then run out of the restaurant with haste. What the fuck happend to Neteyam ?
