Once upon a lie- Neteyam Sully

Chapter Twenty-One

The Next Day

"No you must feel it." Mo'at slaps my hand that is attempting to move the bioluminescent fish in the river.

"I am feeling it." I sigh, trying once again. Kirri left an hour ago after Neytiri came by- but here I am trying my best to do as she's asking but it's just not working. "Maybe it was just a one time thing, maybe-"

"You are not concentrated. You do not take this seriously." I'm sorry me and your grandson just kissed each other's faces off- it kinda makes it difficult to think. I take a deep breath and close my eyes, trying my best to truly connect with Eywa.

"Good." My eyes fly open at the sound of her approval and I see that I am in fact moving them- a smile slowly gracing my features. "Now get some sleep, today is your last day of training before the rites." I completely forgot that the final test was in tomorrow. 

I nod to Mo'at before leaving, tiredly walking to my hut. Today has been long, exhausting if you will, but also exciting. Very very exciting. 

We kissed. They boy I thought I hated kissed me. 

It's so surreal, so insane I'm starting to question whether or not it actually happened. 

I think of the feeling of his lips and his hands and how much I never wanted to leave his arms.

I see you Amelia.

Oh my fuck. Those words actually left his mouth. 

What is he doing to me?

Neteyam's POV

What is this girl doing to me?

Ever since I dropped her off I haven't been able to think. All of my thoughts filled to the brim of her- how she tasted, and the way her body felt against my own. I've never been so transfixed by anyone in my life.

I haven't seen her since yesterday, my parents thought it would be a good idea to let her rest before she takes her rites. I'm nervous for her, scared that I haven't prepared her enough.

"Neteyam? Hello... are you even listening to me?" Kirri asks me as she does Tuk's hair. I sit on the ground near them, trying my best not to portray the motions coursing through me. 

"No." I mutter laying my head down on Tuk's lap. She laughs at the added weight, giving me a light kiss on the head to which I give her an amused smile. Kirri groans in frustration at the movement of her head and uses a braid to pull her back up.

"Ow Kirri your hurting me." She whines but Kiri simply laughs. I fall back into a daydream, closing my eyes while I think about my day, about Amelia. A grin passing my lips while I think about our night.

"So big brother what's got you all smiley?" I keep my eyes closed barely even paying attention to my sisters.

"Hm?" 

"What's up with you? You're so... happy."  Her comment only makes my smile widen. Oh Eywa what is wrong with me? I think I may be ill. 

"Am I not allowed to be happy Kir?" 

"No brother it's actually quite a good look on you."  

"Alright time for bed. Especially you Tuk- dad's going to kill me for letting you stay up this late." She sticks her tongue out at me attempting to run away, but I grab her by the waist giving her a pointed to look to which she sighs at. Kiri and I both laugh as she struts away, attitude obvious in her walk.
