The lazy sun shone brightly overhead your basking bodies, and casted an indescribable shine onto the vivid cerulean skin. For once, in a long time you truly felt at peace.

You mostly owed it to your rewarding self introspection, but there was another side to it. Perhaps, part of it came from the scene which played out in front of you. There was only one true description that served it justice. Utter benevolence from Mother Nature— Eywa, herself.

It bewildered you and continued scratching at your noggin, how different you had become. Although, it was progressive development it was still rather puzzling. Only a couple of months ago, were you filled with romance repulsion. A romance hater, you could have call yourself.

Any mere thought of ever being in love nauseated you. You could have done your best to gaslight yourself into believing that you were simply a logical person. Someone who doesn't care to fraternise with emotions. However, your past trust issues told an otherwise contrasting story.

Neteyam's head lay atop your soft thighs. His pretty braids splayed out in an Ethereal formation. You leaned over towards him at the sight of his jaw twitching ever so slightly. He looked completely peaceful in such a state, one of his arms were folded over your thigh as support for his head.

You felt a flutter in your heary as you realised how comfortable he must have felt around you. Anyone could have sworn that your thighs were his sacred resting ground.

Your hand made contact with his shoulder blade administering feather-light caresses until his midarm. Defined muscles lightly spasmed underneath his iridescent skin with every soft touch.

Regardless of all this, your most heartfelt aspect to this had to be his pure facial expression. You felt his shallow, slow breathing and the serene flow of pristine air radiating thoughout his ligamature. His eyes were at a full close which meant he had lowered his guard, at long last, for you.

If you were given a choice between this Neteyam– who embodied the veracious definition of seraphic, as opposed to the hypervigilant warrior, Neteyam Te Suli. You would choose the former in half a heartbeat.

He deserved this— peace. A sense he usually never felt. He always took on the everyday prerogatives of being a praised warrior, and the golden son. Not to mention the constant obligation to lead by example for his younger siblings.

Off in the distance, striking saturation pulled your attention away from your dearly beloved. The bushes rustled as a pack of tetrapterons leapt around in the foliage, making some noise in the process.

This was actually your first time seeing this creatures face-to-face. What made this even more magical, were the small offsprings that slowly trudged behind the grown tetrapterons. Their stubby limbs and small frames effectively tugged at your heartstrings.

Occasionally, they would lose their balance and trip over their own feet, and stumbled to the ground. Fortunately, they weren't harmful falls.

You let out an "Aww... " from the cuteness overload, only remembering after that Neteyam was asleep right on top of you. Glancing down in slight guilt, you thankfully, saw him softly dozing away. You turned your vision back to the majestic creatures.

This time around, more details came to your attention. The two leading the pack caught your eye, and after a swift observation, new information came to light.

There was shared love between them, apparent and time-stopping to the world around them. A sense of pure hope blossomed within your soul, to one day share this same aura with Neteyam after mating.

Of course, you had already agreed on the right time, and mutually reassured each other about the aftermath. Yet, a stubborn worry always lingered in the back of your mind.

Your main concern was whether you would still be as in love as before...

Even though you knew very well that this was the bonding of each others' souls, there was still the instilled fear because you were using an avatar body.

As usual, you did your best to not overthink and linger on this thought. As if on cue, you reminisced on the deeo unconditional love which you had for each other. Surely, it would only amplify after the mating, right?

A soft chuckle graced your eardrums. "How cute..." Neteyam said, drowsily. You turned to him with confusion since you hadn't noticed him stir awake. He shifted his body to properly look up at you.

A small grin spread across his cheeks as he inspected your baffled visage. "Wait... How long have you been awake?" You asked, noticing his nose slightly scrunch as he searched for the answer.

"Well— I think, for a short while now." He finally replied, gazing up at you with eyes covered by exhaustion. You simply nodded back at him. He appeared deep in thought as he moved his free arm onto his abdomen. He looked off to the sife, towards the pack. "I hope we'll be as in love as them, after we mate."

A cheeky smile slowly made it's way onto your face, despite your lazy effort to suppress it. You released a humoured laugh. "That's exactly what I was thinking!" You said, shaking your head with an enthusiastic grin.

Perhaps, it would all be okay afterall. At the end of the day, it was mostly up to how much dedication and commitment you would each give into your relationship. After this brief exhange, your doubts were eased.

Gone were some of the negative thoughts, replaced instead, by the positive ones.

'Our bond and relationship will continue to blossom, afterall we were meant for each other.' You thought to yourself.
