❞...you're not like the others. And I don't want anyone else...❝ neteyam X fem!oc I do not own Avatar, the characters, or the story. Those belong solely to the original creators. I only own Alyara and her backstory. IN WHICH: Alyara, ocean-born and duty-bound, finds herself tangled in the world of Neteyam - the warrior son of the forest, who sees her like no one else ever has. status: handwriting

she was the girl ni-ki was never supposed to care about. loud arguments, sharp comebacks, and constant tension - they were enemies, everyone knew that. So when a stupid bet with his best friend dares him to prove he feels nothing for her, ni-ki agrees without a second thought. easy, right? but the more time he spends trying to "prove" it... the harder it gets to lie - to her, to sunghoon, and especially to himself. because the only thing worse than falling for her? falling for her while she still thinks you hate her. tw // rumors. harassment. slutshaming. emotional conflict. heavy angst. strong language. nsfw scenes. messy friendships. complicated love. read with care - not everything is soft here
