You were going stargazing with your best friend Neteyam. It was almost night that's why you were walking to the Sully's tent. But when you arrived there and were ready to walk in you heard Neteyam talking to his parents "I know, I know. Look, I already have someone in my mind" What? "We get it. But you need to get us. You are the next Olo'eyktan, you need to have mate, mate who will make a good tsahik by your side one day" Jake said. Oh. You wanted to walk away but then you heard "I get it. I understand. I just don't want to mate with someone i don't love. And as i said i have someone in my mind. Someone who i see" another oh. That was when you walked away.
You started walking into the forest, to your favorite place. A smile found your lips when you saw that you arrived there. In the middle of a lots of plants, flowers and trees was a pond with a rock next to it.
You sat on the rock and started thinking. Why Neteyam didn't tell you about it? Is he gonna end your friendship because of mating? What if he asked you to stargaze tonight just because of that? Just because he didn't want to be friends with you anymore. You started to tear up from you toughts. You had crush on him since your childood. Sometimes you were even thinking about being in love with him, but now when you knew that he was going to mate with someone else it was tearing your heart.
It's been about an hour since you were sitting there. That was when you heard something behind you. You turned your head and saw him. Your best friend.
Your teary eyes and white dots on your skin were glowing in the moonlight. You looked perfect. "Hey" he said and sat next to you. "Hi" you replied while looking at the sky "So, how are you?" You furrowed your eyebrows at his question. "Uhm good. What about you?" He looked at you and then at the sky "Good, good".
You were sitting in silence but then he broke it. "Are you okay syulang?" You thought a little, should you tell him? "Yeah, yeah I am. Why are you asking?" He shrugged "You just feel a little bit off" you looked at him for a second "I am fine".
He looked from the sky at you. "You can tell me everything. You know that right?" You nodded your head "Yeah, I know. Its nothing, really". You saw in his eyes that he didn't believe you, but you still didn't tell him anything "Why didn't you show up at my tent?" He suddenly asked. Your eyes widened a little. You did, you did show up. You wanted to tell him, but then you'd have to tell him that you heard his talk about the thing with his parents.
Your eyes started to tear up at the though of it. "Syulang, what's up with you?" His hand moved to lay on your thigh. You skaked your head "I just..I heard you talking to your parents" you sniffled "about mating with someone." You looked at him nervously. He was looking at you confused. "I don't get what you are saying" you wipped your tears away and smiled sadly at him "It's okay. Its nothing. I should go back home" Then Neteyam got it.
You were starting to stand up, but then you felt Neteyam's hand grab yours. He stood up too, looking down at you, wipping your tears then keeping his hand on your cheek. "Why are you crying ma Y/n?" You looked down at the grassy ground. Just say it. "I love you 'teyam. Okay? But I know you don't fell it that way . That's why." You looked at him with teary eyes. Before he said anything you started talking"I heard how you told your parents that you like someone. And.." you took a deep breath "want them to be your mate." He smiled down at you "I think it's time for telling you that I want you to be my mate"
It was silence. You were looking at each other. Nobody saying anything "You mean it?" He smiled at your question "Yeah, I mean it." You looked at his lips than again in his eyes "Can I kiss you?" A chuckle escaped his throat. Then his lips were on yours. Butterflies flied in your stomach. You wrapped your hands around his neck while his hands were holding your waist. You pulled away after some seconds to take a breath.
It didn't take long for you two to lay down on the rock and start stargazing. A smile on your lips thinking about who you were with.
You looked at Neteyam who was already looking at you. "I think that our friendship will change a little" you laughed at his words. "Yeah it definitely will".
It was amazing. You were happy. Smiling at the thought that It's you who he sees.
