A drop in the ocean • Neteyam x Reader

Chapter 4

"Leave them alone, fish lips." Lo'ak pushed Ao'nung away from you.

You were annoyed. You can handle yourself; you especially don't need Lo'ak stepping in.

"I got this." you hissed at Lo'ak, moving him aside.

"Yea..she's got this Lo'ak." Ao'nung grabbed your tail. He playfully pulled it, but he didn't know he had just started a war.

From the corner of your eye, you could see Neteyam walk up.

"Hands off, leave them alone" he hissed and shoved Ao'nung pointing a finger at him. He was fed up with Ao'nung, thinking he could just touch you whenever he wanted.

One of Ao'nung's friends tried to speak up, but he shut him down. Raising his hands in the air backing up.

"From now on I need you to respect my sister," he turned to Ao'nung, voice lowering an octave, "and you keep your hands off, Y/n." that made your ears perk up, and a warm burning feeling arose in your stomach.

It had quite the opposite effect on Lo'ak and Ao'nung. They didn't like that part at all. Lo'ak because he realized Neteyam was staking his claim on you and Ao'nung because he understood he had no chance with you.

"Let's go." Kiri pulled you and Neteyam's arms away from the skxwangs. Lo'ak turned to follow, but when he heard the word freak again, he snapped.

Lo'ak turned around to show Ao'nung something with his hand. Little did Ao'nung know, it was going to hurt. A lot.

"It's called a punch, bitch"

You gasped and started laughing. The fight broke out, just as you were going to join. Neteyam pulled you back scratching the back of his neck.

"I told you what would happen to Ao'nung the next time he disrespected you."

With that, Neteyam went to join the fight, and you couldn't lie. Both Sully boys looked hot, especially since the fight is about defending you and Kiri. When you noticed Lo'ak was outnumbered, you joined in.

"Y/n!" Kiri was concerned but started to laugh.

"Ow, my tail!"

"Ow, my ear!"

Sullys stick together.

...

You followed Neteyam and Lo'ak into your hut. Saying Jake was pissed was an understatement.

"What was the one thing I asked!" in that moment you wanted the earth to swallow you whole.

"To stay out of trouble." you all mumbled

"It was my fault sir." Neteyam stepped up.

"You have to stop taking the heat for these two knuckleheads" Jake took a deep breath.

"Lo'ak, go apologize" that made you speak up

"But Jake! He-"

"Y/n," you closed your mouth.

"They called Kiri a freak dad, and Ao'nung kept touching Y/n." that made Jake look at you, raising an eyebrow.

"Honestly wasn't a big deal; Neteyam and Lo'ak made it very clear what would happen the next time he tried again. Am I dismissed?"

"Dismissed."

You walked out of the hut.

Lo'ak followed after you going to apologize to Ao'nung. He will talk to you later.

Before Neteyam walked out, Jake spoke.

"So how do the other guys look?"

Neteyam smiled, "worse."
