(Morning, in the home of Vakama)
In the home of the Toa of fire lays Vakama wide awake from another dream only it wasn't a nightmare like the others were, it was a dream where the one he loved held him and told him how much he was loved, it had all his brother's and sister their they were kind to him even the air Toa himself smiled at him, but like all his other dreams it came to an end ripping him away from the kindness and the man he loved,
"Why do the great spirits hate me so much?" He asked himself as he closed his eyes and let the tears fall free down his face, he just laid there doing nothing when suddenly the bed dipped slightly and he felt arms wrap around him, he started to panic when he smelled the scent of the sea with vanilla and mint he finally let the sobs out as he held onto his sister who just gently held him,
"The spirits do not hate you Vakama, you are loved by all of them." Nokama said softly as she rocked her brother to try and calm him, "It is not true, they hate me, why else would they give me dreams that hurts me and torment me so much." Unlike their Toa brothers, Nokama knew of the secret love of a certain Turaga, "Brother please tell me, what was your dream?" She asked softly he shook his head and instead showed her it, she could feel a tear fall as she held her brother tighter as she cursed their air brother for everything that he called or done to Vakama,
"Oh Vakama, my dear brother it shall be ok, we will get through this together... like old times." She said softly as she wiped the tears away and kissed the top of his head and whispered, "Vakery, my brother it will be ok in the end it always is."
She held her brother tighter but he still slipped away from her and walked over to his picture wall to see hundreds of him and his family, then his eyes landed on a mirror and saw his own eyes, his true eyes, he looked into the crimson red orbs with distaste, and did something that he hadn't done in years,
"Look at me
I will never pass for a great Toa
Or a great leader
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?"
He sung softly as he looked at all the pictures with only a few of them have his true eyes then the rest had him with contacts hiding his true eyes,
"Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would fail every one"
Vakama grabbed his contacts and was about to put them back in but looked back at the mirror and stared at his eyes,
"Who is that being I see
Staring back at me?
Why is my reflection some freak I don't know?"
Vakama sighed sadly and put the contacts in trying to hide the blood-red color of his eyes but the crimson color bled through a little making the deep ember color turn a darker color of ember he looked away in self-disgust,
"Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show who I am inside?"
He felt a tear slip down his face and no longer cared,
"When will my reflection show who I am inside?"
He softly sung the last part as he let even more tears fall down his face and wasn't surprised when he was pulled into a hug by his younger sister, they stood like that for a few minutes till it was ruined by Nokama's phone ringing making her sigh in irritation already knowing who it was, not taking her arm away from her brother dug into her pocket and grabbed it sliding the answer over and brought it to her ear,
"Yes Matau what is it?" She tried to keep the irritation from her voice but he called at a bad time, 'Haha sorry Nokama my dear, but we have a meeting today remember?' She silently cursed herself for forgetting about it, "Yeah sorry I forgot the meeting was today, I'll be there soon I'm even getting Vakama up to." She said as she looked at her brother while smoothing out his wild red bed head hair with a fond smile, 'Ohhh, Nokama dear you didn't tell me that you and Fire-Spitter were a thing haha.'
She had to keep herself from going off on Matau but she didn't get a chance to when she heard Matau getting pushed and hearing a cool tone, 'Forgive Matau for his... words Nokama you know how he gets?' Nokama smiled as a small blush appeared on her cheeks, "Yes well you also know how he gets, right now Vakama is getting in the shower so give us a few, ok?" She looked at Vakama who was looking at her with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face she could feel her blush brighten as she glared at him, 'Very well sister, we will wait till you both are here, be safe.'
He hung up before Matau could get the phone back, she smiled as she looked at the phone with a fond look on her face until she looked at Vakama who had a knowing look on his face, "Sooo, you and Nuju huh?" He asked but had to duck as she threw one of his pillows with a dark blush covering her face,
"Shut up, it's not like that!" She laughed as he ducked out into the bathroom still laughing, "So when are you gonna tell him about you liking him?" He asked as he stripped and got in the shower and started it, Nokama smiled at the sound of Vakama's laughter even if it did embarrass her, "Hmm, well um... I'm not really sure if he'd like me back." She said loud enough for him to hear it over the running water, "Hmm, why not find out, worst-case scenario is Matau tries to interrupt you and Nuju freezes him in which will take me half the day to unthaw him."
Nokama smiled as she heard him talk with a smile in his voice, 'He's becoming my brother again, that's good.' She thought as she giggled then smirked as a thought popped into her, "Hmm, says the one with the massive crush on his idol and friend, why don't you tell Turaga Lhikan how you feel?" She giggled then stopped as a towel was thrown at her face hearing Vakama laugh as he came out of his room with a pair of black jeans on drying his hair with another towel,
"Zip it, lil sis, my crush is much harder to tell then yours is Kora." Vakama said as he playfully glared at her as he went to the laundry room to get his favorite long sleeve red T-shirt and pulled it over his head, "Well that's true but it never hurts to tell him how you feel about him." Nokama said as she grabbed one of his brushes and walked over to him and turned him around and sat him down as she gently brushed the wild mess he called hair down,
"You don't understand Kora... I'm broken, not meant to be loved... Just abused and~ Oww!" He was cut off as he yelled in pain, rubbing the top of his head, he looked up at his sister seeing her wielding the brush that she hit him with,
"What was that for?" He asked still rubbing the sore spot on his head, Nokama just glared at her brother, "Don't you dare EVER say that shit again, Vakery... You are not broken, you never have been, you are not worthless either, you are a sweet and kind person Vak and don't let anyone tell you otherwise understand?" She said as she finished brushing his hair then she put both her arms around his neck and hugged him from behind,
"We are all that is left of our family Vakery, we stay together, we fight together, we live together, we love together and we die together that is our moto remember?" She whispered in his ear as she moved around and buried her face into his chest as she gently sang,
"Steam at birth, steam through growth
With all these years we've been gone,
Our hearts were torn"
She looked at him with a small sad smile and nodded toward the door, "We need to get going Vakama, we don't need to keep our brothers waiting do we." She giggled as he smiled and nodded, grabbing his black jacket only for his sister to grab it and run out the door yelling, "You want it, come get it, Vaky." She laughed as she heard him yell, "Nokama give me back my jacket!" He laughed as he ran after her, both heading toward the great temple as they ran having fun all the while.
