A drop in the ocean • Neteyam x Reader

Chapter 4

...

Lo'ak was in a bad mood for the rest of the afternoon. Neteyam was in love with the girl he had loved since he was little. How could he do this to him? Neteyam already had his parent's favor, the people's favor, and now Y/n's? Tsireya kept trying to talk to him during the little snack break you all had, but he barely spoke. All he could look at or think about was you. You talked to Kiri and Neteyam the most. You and Neteyam would occasionally grab each others arms while talking and it was driving Lo'ak crazy. You even paid more attention Rotxo and Ao'nung than him. When did he start to lose you? Or had he already lost you?

"I say we call it a day, and you are all free to roam the clan," Tsireya announced; in reality, she just wanted some alone time with Lo'ak. The parents suddenly appeared with Tuk, happy to see all the children getting along.

"Hey! Why wasn't I invited?" she whined, leaping onto your lap, you playfully squeezed your arms around her, and she giggled in delight.

Lo'ak and Neteyam loved how you interacted with Tuk. Tsireya and Ao'nung even smiled at the the two of you.

"Tsireya, Neteyam, come with us, please."Tonowari announced.

Neteyam placed a hand on your head as he stood up.

"I'll see you later.stay out of trouble, please." teasing you.

"For you? I'll make sure trouble is my mission." you and Kiri laughed.

"Y/n." Jake gave you a stern look, and Neytiri looked at you fondly.

"I'm kidding,I'm kidding" you raised your hands up

"With your luck my child, trouble will find you anyway." Neytiri patted the heads of her three girls.

Tsireya squeezed Lo'ak's hand as she left, and he was sad. Him and Tsireya usually played a game of trying to find a rock she threw in the water. But now he had an opportunity to get you alone without Neteyam.

Lo'ak wasn't the only one who realized this. Neteyam did too, and he couldn't deny that the thought of the two of you alone together made him uneasy. He felt as if you had finally started to see him differently, but you had loved Lo'ak since you were kids. Would you just forget about him?

You noticed Lo'ak looking at you and quickly picked up Tuk and grabbed Kiri's hand.

"We need some girl time, let's go"

"Uh, can I come?" Lo'ak smiled sheepishly

"You're not a girl, Lo'ak" Tuk stuck her tongue out at him.

"She has a point" you shrugged

"Y/n, we need to talk." Lo'ak's face was serious, "please?"

For a second you considered it, after all it was Lo'ak and you had to look away before those eyes used the power they had over you.

"Maybe later." you walked away.

"Ouch"you heard Rotxo and Ao'nung laugh.

At that moment, Lo'ak wanted to kick himself. How did he let you two get to this point?

...

You and Kiri we sitting in the water watching Tuk play with an ilu.

"So... Are you finally going to tell me how you feel about my brothers?" she tilted her head at you.

You took a deep breath. "Agh, you really want to know?" you tilted your head the same way as her.

"Y/n of course I do, nothing is better than watching those two Skxangs bend over backwards for you and know all the details." She smirked
