"I'm not flying with you." I crossed my arms as I looked at Neteyam who was connecting his queue with his Ikran.

It's already late at night, probably around 11, and we had just finished our little get-together around 5 minutes ago. Neteyam insisted that I'll be flying with him since I was 'drunk' when in fact, I'm a bit more sober than he is.

He hops on the banshee and signals me to sit in front of him...again.

Just wanting to go back to the village, I quietly obeyed and the Ikran flies up.

We've been flying for 10 minutes now when it only took me half that time to fly to where we were earlier. So, I am very much worried about where we're going.

"Hey- Are you okay back there?" I ask, feeling his body weight quite literally crushing my back and his head completely resting on my shoulder.

I hesitantly look behind me, careful to not repeat what happened the other day. And ofcourse, Neteyam was on the verge of sleeping.

"Neteyam, wake the hell up." I nudge him with my arm and he looks at me with curiosity, without a clue in the world of what's happening.

It wasn't that dark because oddly, the moon shines especially brighter today. This meant that I could still clearly see my surroundings, including the man behind me.

I take a moment to admire the half-asleep boy.

How could someone this good-looking be so cruel and confusing?

A minute he's complimenting me and another minute he denies them. What should I believe in? When will the mixed signals stop?

It wasn't even a week since I met him yet he's managed to gauge a thousand emotions that I would normally only feel in a year.

Worst of all? One day I'll be leaving all this behind-I'll be leaving him and this beautiful world behind for the hell that is Earth.

If only I could stay.

But in the end, I still have a mission to accomplish. That's the only thing that should matter. It's where my loyalty lies.

Right, Y/N?

"Just- Let's stop somewhere first. We can't go ahead like this." I say as I flick Neteyam's forehead to wake him up.

"Fine." He drowsily scowled before speeding up and bringing us to an unfamiliar mountain.

We left the Ikran and walked into the forest to find a safe place to stay for the night.

The forest is different from the ones we usually walk into. It's full of glowing colorful plants.

What is this place?

I was holding Neteyam by his shoulder and he was just looking down, eyes closed, just letting me drag him anywhere.

After walking for a few more minutes, I stumbled upon a giant willow tree which was especially bright and beautiful.

"Holy shit, this is amazing." I drop Neteyam and he immediately falls to the ground.

I continue to admire the place. It looked as if it was shielded by rock arches- or if not shielded, protected.
