Netty | Neteyam x reader

Chapter 6.

What is happening?

You were snapped out of the trance as you both lightly jumped at the call of your name.

It was Ao'nung with his friends. You recognised only Ao'nung and Rotxo, the three other boys you didn't know.

You were now a bit nervous. Like you were caught doing something you weren't suppost to do. 

What weren't you suppost to do though?

You make space between you and Neteyam as they walk up to the both of you.

"What are you doing?" Rotxo asks as he eyes Neteyam.

"I'm in the middle of my lesson" you say as you bring your hand to your hips. Neteyam nods as he pets his Ilu, who is still at his side.

"Didn't that end an hour ago?" Ao'nung quirks his head to the side, suspiciously.

"He needs extra help." You look over to Neteyam, "He is not quite good at riding an Ilu." you smirk.

Neteyam opens his mouth a little. 

"Who's side are you on?" he asks, and by the tone he gave you and look he gave you, you knew he was joking.

"Just make sure the jungle boy stays where he's supposed to.'' One of Ao'nung's friends said to you. You make a face. 

Who the hell is this kid?

"Or what?" Neteyam asks as he takes a step closer to the boy, blocking you a little.

"Or I'll beat you up." he replied, making a popping sound at the end of his sentence.

"Okay, first of all," you say from behind Neteyam. It was now your turn to step in front of the darker Na'vi and get closer to the boy. You put a hand in front of Neteyam to stop him from inching closer, "Who the hell are you?"

The boy opened his mouth to answer but you interrupted.

"Secondly, I will beat your ass if you talk to him like that again" You lower your hand, that was in front of Neteyam and pointed at yourself.

Everyone chuckled, including Neteyam. The boy looked around.

"I had a reputation for that, ask Ao'nung. I whooped his ass a few times." You nod towards your brother as everyone turns to look at him. He looked down and chuckled nervously.

"You didn't have to bring that up," he murmured under his breath. His other friend laughed and Ao'nung punched his arm, telling him to shut up.

"And lastly," everyone looked back at you, "I am the chief's daughter asshole. Don't speak to me like that." you crossed your arms over your chest.

"No you aren't! You're adopted. You're just lucky your real parents died and the chief took you in" the boy said, getting agitated.

Everyone went silent.

Neteyam was shocked the most, he didn't know you were adopted, but he knew that must have been a sensitive topic. Kiri was adopted and everytime she talked about her real mother, it brought her to tears.

Ao'nung backed away slightly and slowly. 

"How old are you?" you ask slowly as you walk even closer to the boy.

"Why does that matter?" he asked.

"How fucking old are you?" you raise your voice.

Neteyam winced a bit, he never heard you use that language before. He didn't know if he should be afraid of it or be attracted to it.

"I'm fifteen." he finally answered.

You look down to the water in thought.

"Alright," you smirk as you look up, "that's close enough."

"Close enough for what?" He asked quietly.

"Close to my age." You simply answered. "So I am not beating up a stupid child."

Suddenly you punch him right in the nose. He fell back into the water. The group exclaimed their versions of 'ooh' and 'damn'.

"What the hell?!" he wailed as he held his probably broken nose. You walked up to him and grabbed his ear, hard.

"You never, NEVER, talk about my family" you spat as you looked at everyone in the group.

"Do you understand?" you hiss.

Everyone nodded.

You let go of the boy's ear and push him down, "skxawng" you murmur before walking back to the village.

The rest of the boys went to help his friend, while Neteyam rushed to catch up to you.

He caught up to you while calling your name softly, "That was-"

"Sorry about that." you interrupted as you turned around and faced him.

"Don't be sorry, that was awesome." he said as he looked at you.

You held a small smile, "I haven't done that in a while."

"Punch someone?" he asked.

You nodded in embarrassment.

"Well it looked like you were a pro." he spoke.

You look up at him, "Thanks, Netty."

"Of course."

He looked back to the group of boys who were still in the water and then turned back to you.

"So, what about that special place you wanted to show me?" he asked.

"Meet me at the dock we practiced at today." you say as you smile.

"When?"

You thought about it, "Tonight, at midnight. It is the best to be there in the dark."

"You sure this is not an exuse to get me alone and beat me up for pulling you into the water back there?" Neteyam held a smirk as he talked.

You chuckle, "Only one way to find out."

He nodded and looked down at your hand. The skin on your knuckles were bruised a little bit from the punch.

He carefully grabbed your hand and brought it up to his lips. While making eye contact, he kissed it ever so lightly.

You smiled. You looked calm on the outside, but on the inside you were doing backflips and yelling at the top of your lungs.

"Make sure to treat the wound." he whispered as he let go of your hand.

"See you tonight." He walked back to his family's hut.
