Netty | Neteyam x reader

Chapter 4.

You let go of his hand, and couldn't really figure out if the face he was making was from not believing you, or being absolutely terrified of you.

"I had a reputation for that," you smiled.

"This is Tuk.'' The oldest said as he cleared his voice. His little sister hid in his arms.

"And how old are you, Tuk?" you asked her in a sweet voice as you leaned closer to her.

"I'm eight, " she replied.

"Wow, you're such a big girl," you praised, "I feel like you will be the best swimmer out of all your siblings" you winked.

She smiled and nodded her head as a 'definitely'.

Straightening your back, you looked up at the last brother, waiting for him to introduce himself.

"He's Neteyam" Lo'ak said for his brother.

"Neteyam" you repeat as you reach for his hand.

He adjusted his little sister to hold her with one arm, while he went to shake your hand with his free hand. The second his hand touched yours, you felt butterflies in your stomach, and suddenly became a bit nervous.

You let go of his hand and looked at your siblings, Tsireya and Lo'ak were smiling at each other as Ao'nung looked annoyed as hell.

"Let's um, start with swimming" Tsireya proposed and everyone agreed.

Tsireya led the group deeper into the water, you stayed a bit behind since Tuk was a bit scared to get into the water, and clung to her brother for dear life.

"Come on Tuk, it's not scary" he said softly.

"But Netty, look how deep it is!" she whined.

"Hey, Tuk, right?" you ask.

She nodded her head.

"The sea might look scary, but i'm telling you, it is actually very beautiful and fun!"

You sigh, "Plus, I can see Lo'ak struggling over there, look '' you whispered as the three of you looked toward the group a bit further away.

Lo'ak was indeed struggling a bit.

"I'm sure you can do way better," you tell Tuk.

She smiled and let go of Neteyam.

"Tsireya!" you warn your sister, to make sure she keeps an eye on the youngest sister as she swims towards the group.

"Thanks" the oldest brother said to you.

You just hummed.

"Netty, huh?" you suddenly brought up as you started walking deeper into the water, towards the group as well.

"Don't even, just a dumb nickname" he said as he caught up to you.

"Sure, sure" you just say as you reach the group.

For the next 30 minutes, the group of 7 were swimming.. Some were learning how to swim.

Throughout the learning session, Rotxo also joined you guys.

Ao'nung and Rotxo did mention their breathing is not 'balanced' underwater. They said it as a joke, but they were actually right.. that does not happen often.

You decided it was for the best to teach the Sully kids how to properly breath and hold their breath underwater, and that is what you did.

You all went to shore and sat on a hill, surrounded by rocks and a few palm trees. You sat beside Tsireya who was on your left and Tuk, who was on your right. Lo'ak sat beside Tsireya, who was sitting beside Ao'nung. Rotxo sat beside his best friend, which led Kiri to sit in between Rotxo and Neteyam.
