Neteyam⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

The Sully family had to go.

He knew why.

But he was still saddened by it.

Him and his family had to flee from their home to go to a new one because of the RDA hunting them down.

Now, they had finally reached Awa'atlu, after flying on their ikrans for hours, including rest stops.

As the Sully family stepped onto the shore, Neteyam looked around quietly. Everything was different. The warm sand beneath his feet, the endless ocean stretching before him, and the Metkayina village built over the water.

He stayed close to his family as they were greeted by a bunch of people walking to see what was happening, and why forest people were here.

Neteyam could feel the eyes of the people on them. He couldn't blame them. They were complete strangers here.

He glanced toward Lo'ak, who was already looking around with curiosity, until he heard an splash and looked to the water where he saw a beautiful girl coming out of the water. Lo'ak stared at her until she passed by him. "Hey." Lo'ak blurted out quietly, just loud enough that the girl (Tsireya) and his brother could hear, the girl just giggled behind his hand before walking to where two guys were standing nearby, observing the forest people. Neteyam's eyes were on the girl too, he though she was pretty too, but when he saw Lo'ak trying to sound cool when she passed, neteyam quickly pushed that thought away, he wouldn't want to steal Lo'ak's chance either way. As his mother, Neytiri and the tsahik of awa'tlu, Ronal hissed at each other after Ronal criticized of Lo'ak and Kiri having demon blood, and shoving their hands up to show everyone. Lo'ak and Kiri just looked down in humiliation before taking back their hands, After a bit of tonowari and Jake making a deal. Tonowari announced that his children would help the sully kids to learn the ways of the water.

Until neteyam heard a splash near the water, but it wasn't Tsireya this time, it was another beautiful girl, you had gotten off your ilu, flipping their wet hair off their shoulder. This time neteyam stared, and it was pretty obvious, lo'ak had nudged him, but he didn't pay any focus of it as he kept staring until you caught his eye gave him an smile, chuckling behind your hand. Then Tsireya, Ao'nung and Rotxo, alongside you had come closer, Ao'nung immediately teased them about their thin tails and etc. Tsireya just smacked her brother behind his head gently. "Be nice, Ao'nung..." Tsireya had said, before turning to the sully family. "Comes I'll show you your new home." Tsireya said with an smile, Gesturing for the family to follow her, As they walked neteyam kept staring at you who was walking next to tsireya helping out. You turned around, feeling someone staring at you, and caught neteyam's eyes again. You gave him an smile before turning back to Tsireya. Neteyam felt Lo'ak nudge his side with his elbow. "What?" Neteyam gave him an look and kept walking, stealing some glances to you. After the tour and everything, A day had passed, And now was the day The sully kids learnt the ways of the water. Right now Tsireya was teaching them through some breathing exercises before teaching them to swim. Tsireya was helping out lo'ak, her hand in his chest, you could clearly see the dark purple on his cheek rise, Everyone snickered (except Lo'ak and Tsireya ofc). You were sitting between neteyam and Tuk, helping (cute, adorable, precious, 'we need to protect her',little) Tuk in her breathing.* Neteyam was trying, he really was, to not stare at you too much at the sight of you helping his youngest sibling.
