Neteyam x Reader- Angst

He could feel the annoyance radiating off you, so, he suggested you took a break. With this, a conversation about the art of firing an arrow began. Slowly it delved into other topics, such as your childhoods and what your personalities were truly like. Each speaking with lingering curiosity about the other.

"You know, you're not that bad actually." He chuckled after. You stared at him for a moment, unsure of what to say.

You scoffed softly, "Aside from the fact I was literally an assassin?" You shook your head slightly. "I've done horrible things to a lot of people, Neteyam." The grass beneath you tickled the undersides of your thighs.

He responded with a faint 'hm'. Seconds later, he spoke. "I know but, it was against your will and you have been given a second chance."

You stared down at your lap in shame of your previous actions. "At first, my parents were planning on keeping you locked up." At this reveal, you looked up at him with wide eyes.

He nodded and continued, "Yeah, but I managed to convince them not to. I told them the truth— that you were forced into the organization."

You huffed quietly in disbelief. He helped you.

"I..." You tried to speak but was at a loss for words. A sigh came out followed by words of pure gratefulness. "Thank you."

As the day came to an end, you successfully hit the target courtesy to his useful advice. Your chest was filled with rejoice, such was his. Not only had you learned how to use a bow, but also the fact that you enjoyed each other's company.

The walk back wasn't a stranger to a conversation either.

Something you would never forget was the look of utter disbelief on his parents' faces. He had asked for permission to fully take over and show you their ways.

This time they argued back, reminding him of what you intended to do to him. "Neteyam, she is dangerous!"His mother's voice shouted authoritatively.

She shook her head in an angry manner. "Son, why would you even want to be near her?" Jake asked him confused, but with a less angry tone than Neytiri.

Though— Neteyam held on strong. He was very persuasive and made up a silly excuse of how he had better knowledge of the forest. It was true, but it didn't come from a place of wanting to help.

He wanted to get to know you better, he almost felt intrigued by you. You weren't any better either and shared the same sentiment.

You could only stand near them awkwardly as they argued back and forth. Unsure of what to do in that situation.

Alas, with his persistence they came to somewhat of an agreement. He would help you navigate the na'vi lifestyle, but you had to swear that you wouldn't hurt him in any way.

Over the next few weeks, you enjoyed each other's company, delightfully indulging in deep conversations. You also learnt many things about the way of the forest.

Whilst your guide was patrolling and performing other tasks expected of him, you got busy with other business. You would learn about herbs and healing remedies with Mo'at in her tent. It was beautiful how their remedies of herbs were able to fix such dire injuries. A change of heart began taking place within you. Your assassin nature was still present, but you now saw the beauty in the foliage and animals– and the beauty of life on Pandora.

He found it interesting talking to someone who was technically an outsider. It felt new, refreshing— exciting, and hearing about your stories on Earth peaked his interest. Soon enough, talking to you became the highlight of his day after he finished his patrolling.
