BONDED| neteyam x reader

Nervous

"No no I am just going to go hang out with y/n like how we used to."

"I have a question do you like y/n?"

That question shocked me "n-no I just she's my best friend."

"Neteyam."

"I swear."

"You know that you're gonna be the next olo'ekytan and you need a mate. Your tsahik."

"I know." I sighed

"Neteyam I don't know why you are so in denial with your feelings but you need to express yourself. If you have to ask dad ask him he knows what is best. Even though he may seem pushy he has the best experience with this."

I stayed quiet, she was right I should see my dad about this

"Now. Let me help you find what your gonna wear." Kiri smiled softly

10 minutes later

"See now you look presentable."

"Thank you kiri I shall go see father right away." My outfit consisted with arm bands and a dark purple loincloth, hanging from it was white beads, as I wore a neck piece with seashells

Kiri nodded as she patting my back "let me know what he says when you get back from your 'hangout' " she mocked the word hangout

I rolled my eyes chuckling softly. I made my way to my father and mother's shared tent.

I walked in. My parents tent was pretty big "father I see you."

Jake was sitting on the floor sharpening his knife

"I see you too." He looked up to me

"What happened neteyam?"

"I-I need advice."

My dad patted the floor signaling for me to sit

I sat in front of him

"What is it you need son?"

"Father is it normal for you to..."

"Hm."

I felt scared to ask him, what would he think of me every single one of those thoughts raced through my mind, I pursed my lips and slightly tensed up as I looked down

"Is this about a girl son?"

That certainly caught my attention, my eyes snapped up toward him

"How did you know."

"I was young once too son." He expressed as he took my hand in his

"Tell me about her."

I felt nervous "well."

I felt my father's eyes on me "she is very smart, funny and out going. She's beautiful the most strongest woman I've ever laid my eyes on."

"And how does she make you feel."

"I'm not quite sure.. I mean I never thought that I'd ever see her like that.."

"Hm."

"I mean I don't even know if she likes me."

"How do you know if y/n doesn't like you or not?."

My heart dropped completely as my mouth fell agape slightly I couldn't form a word

'how does he know?' I thought to myself stiffening up

"How do you know that I am talking about her I have not mentioned any names."

"You think your sisters don't tell me what goes on in both of your little worlds." He chuckled

I stayed silent from now on I am not telling any of my sisters anything or asking for advice ever again

I swallowed hard nervously

"Son whatever you feel towards y/n you have to know that you're feeling it because you like her. And I get how it can be confusing." He admitted to me trying comfort me

"Out of all of the young girls here I always saw you with y/n at the end of the day. Because you both can overcome so much." He admitted

I listened to him talk. Maybe he was right "wait what?"

"Well yeah I mean. I know that you've seen her just as a friend but you're a man now and your gonna want to choose someone who has always been loyal to you and that's all y/n has ever been to you" He said looking at me

"I knew that when I got closer to your mother I felt something there I knew I was going to be there for her. My loyalty never faded for her. She is my ride or die. And maybe." He paused mid sentence

"Maybe y/n is the one for you. But that's all on how you act it out. But I am telling you what you feel isn't what a friend feels for a friend." My father said bluntly

I nodded he was right I did like y/n and more than a friend, telling her how I felt was gonna be hard though I don't know how she was gonna react

"I mean she'll definitely keep you and your brother's ass outta trouble that's for sure the girl can hold her own and definitely handle herself, I mean I've never seen a chick throw that nasty of a punch at the age of 14" he chuckled

I laughed as well remembering that day as if it was yesterday

"But listen kid be sure of yourself okay. And I hope that cleared up your question alright"

"It did and I will. Thank you father. I must get going." I walked up out of his tent in a rush to see y/n, my heart fluttered I just wanted to see her and spend the rest of the day with her

Jake's pov

"Wait why are you such in a-" I was cut off mid sentence do to him leaving my tent so abruptly

"Rush.." I smirked to myself knowing that he was probably gonna go see y/n

"kids these days." I shook my head smiling as I got back to sharpening my knife

"You gonna untie me yet?" I heard a voice, it was Rhea. She was tied up to a chair

"You gonna spill?"

"Fine."

"Hm fine but after you tell me." I chirped back as I got up

Rhea groaned struggling to move
"Whatever."
