Neteyam x Male Omaticaya Reader
Past Friends to Future Lovers
You and Neteyam were close since childhood, you both met around the same time Spider the human kid that Jake Sully included peacefully in the clan along the humans allies, you both maintain it meanwhile growing up, your friendship secretly evolved with feelings slowly developing deeply, but since you never had the courage to talk to Neteyam about it you kept those feelings buried deep down.
“Reader, I have to tell you something. Can we talk later?” Neteyam asked you one day after another hunt succeeded with no problems, you noticed in his tone he was quite nervous even with the expression he was trying to maintain as a mask.
You knew Neteyam enough to notice small details from his behavior and this was one of many occasions he wanted to open up to you about something neither he could tell his parents or someone else, you always were open to hear his worries and opinions that he avoids showing up without fearing any judgement.
You nodded at him, wondering what could it be this time, not knowing that day were going to end in way neither both of you expected it, the Sky People found out about Neteyam and his siblings especially the man both Jake and Neytiri fought and killed on Jake’s first moments in Pandora, all of them were terrified, when they returned to the clan with their parents visibly shocked and tense, meanwhile Jake were talking with elders and Neytiri with the rest of the family, you went to check on Neteyam.
He had cried, something u barely saw even were just two of you talking, he explained everything about how close they were to either death and danger of unknown strategies the enemy had to use against their father and clan, now they knew about their existence they had new targets and were to hit Jake Sully, the talk you were supposed to have later was forgotten to comfort Neteyam and ease the worries surrounding his head and his parents as well.
He tried to keep his usual posture, but didn’t took much to him let it out, you stood there letting he rest his head on your shoulder quietly only speaking to secure his dad were going to make sure everyone was safe, he was too scared about how close that almost costed a higher price that could end everything.
Then came the final blow, Jake Sully decided that he abdicate the position of clan chief and that the family would leave the clan to maintain everyone's safety, you hadn’t seen that coming and you felt many things in such a short time, you couldn’t see Neteyam in the eye for a while, worries came up and the pain from untold feelings combined together making you needing a time alone, Neteyam tried to talk with you after that noticing your behavior, but he was interrupted by his father to prepare their stuff to leave next day.
When the moment arrived he was looking around since he could find you in the crowd reunited to watch them leave, but soon he knew you weren't there to say goodbye, they left not so long after that.
You actually watched them from afar, outside in the forest in silence, regretting not saying goodbye but you hadn’t enough strength to face him leave either, so you held that along with your feelings, you just hope that the Great Mother keep them safe where they went to, the clan daily activities you used to do to distract your mind didn’t help and yet you didn’t noticed the time passing so quick.
Then days or maybe months had passed since they left. You had just returned from hunting when you noticed the commotion around the clan people, which meant something happened, your family noticed you arrived and you asked them “Mom, Dad what’s happening here??”, you asked your parents until your mother answered, “They returned Reader, they just arrived a few moments before you”, “They had returned?!”, you had many questions meanwhile relief involved you like a hug, before you could say anything you heard “Reader there you are, it's been a while!” Lo’ak arrived waving to you coming to your location.
“Lo’ak..” You started speaking but then he hugged you, he looked exactly the same from when you last saw him, “Neteyam was looking for you, so much happened i can’t wait to tell you, but I didn't know where you were until now, when we left he was also asking about your whereabout since you didn’t appeared on our departure”, Lo’ak said before letting you go. You weren’t ready to face Neteyam yet but you thanked the Great Mother for their return safely.
“Sorry about that, I wasn't dealing with the situation well and didn’t want to bother you guys”, you said, reminding how much pain you deal with in silence, then Kiri arrived. “Reader, it is good to see you again”, she said with a mischievous smile then you look at Lo'ak with the same suspecting smile before saying, “Nice to see you again Kiri, what’s you both up to?”, when they team up something is going on and you have to be ready. “Nothing, just glad to see you again,” she said.
“Sure thing Kiri, im not buying it”, you said rolling eyes with a mocking smile to them before continuing talking, “If that was the case you guys couldn’t look like your planning something”, you guessed was related to Neteyam since you couldn’t find him and he probably was with his parents, “Fine, Reader the thing is Neteyam want to talk with you about something in private”, Kiri admitted with a short laugh.
“Did he say what it was?” You asked, “He only said that he wanted to talked that with you even before our Leaving for the Metkayina Clan, so we don’t have an idea” Lo’ak said arms crossed with a relaxed expression, and then you 3 talked a lot of what happened in their days in Metkayina Territory, you found out about Lo’ak and Tsireya the Metkayina chief’s daughter having a thing, that surprised you a lot you even joked about it respectfully of course, the almost death of Neteyam by a shot he received saving his siblings, but you are very happy that they returned home safe.
That Night the clan made an festivity to their return and also Jake Sully returning to his Chief post, which you didn’t mind much with the words Kiri and Lo’ak told you earlier, you looked around people happily enjoying the moment but remaining seated watching the party around you, then far away you saw the Sully family at least most of them as if they were waiting something and watching from afar, you didn’t noticed when Neteyam appeared behind of you coming from opposite side you were looking.
“If i didn’t know you well, i could assume you were hiding from me Reader”, Neteyam said with a short laugh as if he wanted to ease his nervous state, “Me? Hiding from you? What could make you think that?”, you were also a bit nervous since it was some time since you guys last had a conversation, not sure of what to say to him and wondering what he wanted to talk about with you. “Well then, can we talk in private?” Neteyam asked, looking around the festivity going on and it wasn’t a proper place for both of you to talk after so much time.
After you agree, you both went to outside in the same place you used to go as kids when you both wanted privacy to talk without anyone except you two, you had been here a few times on their absence, it was a place that held many memories and moments you treasured and eased a bit your sleepless nights thinking how they were. The silence around you and him was deafening, you avoided eye contact when you saw the shot scar on his chest, the one his siblings said earlier, you must have been staring at it for a while since Neteyam was calling you.
“Hey Reader, my eyes are up here” Neteyam chuckled, “I'm sorry! I wasn’t-”, you said embarrassed but then he continued saying, “Is okay, is about the scar you're looking at right? It is almost finished healed, but isn’t about that i called you here”, yeah was about that talk you both supposed to have and forgot about it. After another small portion of silence, you both talked a lot, you missed these moments so much and Neteyam was feeling better than when he left.
Was that night he confessed about his feelings towards you, which now the smiling faces of Lo’ak and Kiri made much sense, Neteyam told his family about his feelings after his near death experience, he explained all as long he was resting in Metkayina clan, by the time they were returning to Omaticaya territory, they understood fully like puzzle pieces finally connecting, so they were only waiting to Neteyam talk with you about it. You were happy about your feelings being reciprocated, surprised with the situation as well, but then when Neteyam was getting near you.
“FINALLY!”, a voice shouted from distance when you looked to the direction, the was Kiri, Lo'ak and Tuk watching and grinning, Neteyam yelling at them about they ruining your moment, for so little you both didn't kissed, but well guess the kiss will be left for another time, but you were so glad they were back.
