[if you want to skip that, the end is marked in the text.]

Tsireya

Lo'ak was already waiting for me in our 'secret' spot: a small cave with the only entrance under water and an open roof to watch the stard in the night. We met in there almost every day.
He was sitting on one of the blankets which we had brought here days ago and smiled. "I thought you wouldn't show." "I would never", I said with a smile and sat down next to him.
He leaned down to me and distracted me with a mind blowing kiss. I gave in with a sigh and pulled him closer. He carefully picked me up and made me sit on his lap. His hands were leaving a hot trail on my skin. With one hand I opened my top and threw it away gracefully. He kissed my newly revealed shoulders and skin.
I closed my eyes for a hot second and looked him deep in the eyes afterwards.
He must've read my mind, because he frowned and hesitated. "Are you sure? I mean, not that I don't absolutely want to, but we haven't known each other for long.

I nodded in agreement and reached for my braid. He waited for another few moments and then smiled.
Lo'ak too took his braid from behind his back and slowly moved it closer to mine.

As we connected we held the eye contact. He broke it first while biting his lower lip amd groaning.
"I cannot guarantee you anything. But of course I will be as gentle and nice as possible, alright?"
With a big smile I kissed him again and we got rid of the last bits of clothing that separated us from each other.

Afterwards we looked up to the sky and  cuddled closely. "Reya?" "Hmm?" "Do you think we should tell our parents about us?" I thought about that for a while.
"If you're comfortable with it. But I don't know how great they will take it, especially mine." He sighed. "Why by all means do you have to be the daughter of the olo'eyktan?" With a gentle laugh I kissed the soft skin on his neck.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed my touch. Because I didn't stop teasing him he let out a small growl and rolled us so he was on top of me and I laid on my back.
Lo'ak lowered his head and kissed me passionately; oh, how I enjoyed that. Him.
Soon we were caught up in a second round.

End

Covered in sweat, but happy, we let go of each other and looked up - the stars were already shining down on us. We both tried to catch our breath.
"I really don't know how I could ever live without you again", I admitted, somewhat ashamed because as he said, we haven't known each other for long.
He turned his head to me and smiled cutely. "And I'll make sure that you don't have to. Except if you'll ever decide that you don't want to be with me anymore."
His words made me smile and I placed a small kiss on the tip of his nose. "That's going to take a very long time. If it ever happens at all."
With a satisfied smile he gently let his fingers trace my skin and sat up afterwards. "Maybe we should head home soon. Otherwise our parents might actually kill us." Damn it, my parents. I totally forgot about them. "Shit; I should've been home for dinner!" Hastily we put our clothes back on. "I'm sure that they will understand. Just tell them we lost the track of time." Oh dear Eywa. He really had no clue how strict they could be.

Together we swam back to the village and he walked me all the way to my home. "I'm going to see you tomorrow, right sweetheart?", I asked and he kissed me carefully. "Of course. Goodnight." I could see him blush and then he went home.
Here goes nothing.
I tried to prepare myself for the scolding that was about to happen. Mom and Dad were sitting next to each other on the floor and both seemed to be judging me quietly.
"Tsireya", said my dad and I slowly looked up after I sat down in front of them. He didn't appear to be mad.
"It's time for you to tell us about Lo'ak."
My face was absolutely burning with embarrassment and a small smile curled his lips. "We.. uh.. we're a thing, I believe. Maybe we're a couple, but uh we haven't actually talked about it yet", I mumbled with bright red cheeks.
"If that boy ever hurts you, you'll tell us. Is that clear?" "Yes, mom." She nodded and suppressed a smile. "Go eat something and then you should go to bed. And kid, don't try to keep those kind of secrets. You're horrible at it."
Somewhat relieved I nodded and stood up. This talk could've gone way differently and way more horribly. I was definitely glad that they weren't mad at me - or worse, mad ad Lo'ak for whatever reason.
Lost in thoughts of what had happened earlier I smiled while pouring some stew into a bowl. Maybe it was all way too quickly and maybe one of us will regret that decision soon, but right now I was more than happy.
After I finished my plate I went to my room and laid down on my bed.
My lips were still tingling where Lo'ak had kissed them. I could almost feel his so different, big hands on my body.
With a grin I finally fell asleep.
If I only had known what would happen soon enough.
