But What If || Neteyam x reader

Date Night Shenanigans

    Pulling out the woven anklet from your satchel and placing it in Tuk's hands her face lit up instantly. "Did you make this?" Nodding and smiling proudly you let it go. "I did, I wanted to make you something in return for my most favorite outfit." You leaned into her as she quickly tied the anklet next to her other one. You both were sat in the corner quietly as the rest of her siblings had all been doing their own separate activities within the Marui. You and Neteyam had been placed in charge of the rest of the siblings for the night. "Have anything for me in there." You had tried being as quiet as possible when giving Tuk her gift but you were caught by no other than Lo'ak. "No," You avoided eye contact with Lo'ak not wanting to lose your calm exterior. "Lucky Tuk then for getting a gift from you right?" His voice was a little louder making sure the rest of his siblings heard. Neteyam's ears perked up but he kept his focus on what he was doing. "You gave Tuk a gift?" But now there was Kiri coming over, damn. "Let me see Tuk." Her hand was gently placed on Tuk's ankle as she showed it off. "Isn't it pretty?" Kiri smiled at Tuk; you had been planning on making something for the others but hadn't started yet. Well except for Neteyam's gift. "It is, I'm impressed (Y/N). You must have learned from mother." A corner of your mouth tipped upwards. "Yea, she helped me a bit with the ending ties too."

"Does Tuk get a gift because she gave you the top? 'Cause Neteyam and I helped gather the materials." Kiri gave Lo'ak an annoyed face as you rolled your eyes to look at him. "No, I just felt like it. And anyway I've already got an idea of what to give the rest of you." For Lo'ak you were thinking about giving him something to help sharpen his knife as it was being affected by its new surroundings. "Can I know what mine is?" Lo'ak's ears had perked forward and his body seemed closer too. "No, it's a surprise." He grunted and flopped onto his hammock in defeat. This earned a chuckle from you as you turned back to the sisters and began talking to them.

Pushing him away he still had a grip on you as you tussled with him. Tuk was in the mix, it was friendly wrestling and fun as you were trying to get the upper hand with Tuk still trying to tickle him. You yourself couldn't help but be laughing through the whole endeavor. Trying to get above him again you turned everyone to the right, this time however Lo'ak kept the momentum and sent you off the edge of the walkway and into the shallow water. What he didn't account for was you dragging him with you and after him came Tuk. The water felt freezing as it hit your back half first, your back felt uncomfortable for a split moment until Tuk crashed into you. Your head dipped under the water from her leg and when she moved your head came above again. Seeing Tuk and Lo'ak drenched with you made you start to laugh again. "Great now I'm wet again. I just dried off." Tuk whined as Lo'ak gave you a challenging look as if your fight wasn't over. "What happened?!" You looked up to the walkway to see Neteyam and Kiri looming over the three of you. Pointing over at Lo'ak instantly you and Tuk spoke in unison. "He started it." Technically you had but when you saw Tuk putting on a brave face as Lo'ak was teasing her you listened in.

Lifting your head up from your work on Kiri's top you were attempting to make you saw Lo'ak teasing Tuk about something she clearly didn't like. "Stop Lo'ak, you can't fool me with that child's tale." He smiled as you placed the top down carefully. "Really? Well did you know that once it has your scent you can't escape its hunt? It'll hunt you until the end of your days which will be in its mouth." Tuk turned away from Lo'ak, crossing her arms as she sat in her hammock. "Lo'ak." She gave a meak plea. "It's also more venous than a Slinth! With its large canines." An idea popped into your head as you moved behind Lo'ak, Tuk had turned back with a fearful face. When your eyes met hers you started to mimic what Lo'ak had been describing. "It's fast than you can run and will find you quickly so you can't hide either." You started by silently sniffing the air causing Tuk to give a confused look. You then placed both hands by your face and let down your index fingers. "It'll catch you first by your feet!" You crept to Lo'ak quietly as Tuk's scarred expression started to melt away. You kept up your charade and inched your nose imitating someone sniffing for a scent again. "And then it'll eat you from the bottom up making sure your face is forever contorted in fear." He had started to inch his hands up and was about to tickle Tuk when you tackled him. Getting the jump on him was easy but he quickly started wrestling with you, when he met your eyes a smile played on his face. Lo'ak tried pinning you but Tuk then joined in the tussling. You were all rolling around not paying attention to any of your surroundings and not caring as much due to no adults around and Kiri and Netyam gone to grab food for your evening meal. Lo'ak had Tuk pinned and started to try and pin you with his other arm when you swept to the side to his surprise. You silently thanked Neteyam for starting to teach you self-defense during knife lessons. When you started laughing was when Tuk hit Lo'ak in the face with her foot, and from then you didn't stop until you ended up in the water.
