with quick silence falling between the boys as neteyam had gotten too busy with thinking,
a lightbulb appears.

"actually, two conditions."
neteyam breaks into a giggle as he watches ao'nung's determine expression drop.
"oh, and i was joking"

"what wait-"
ao'nung furrows in absolute confusion at the boy's scattered words.

"you should try and figure it out and if you're close enough, i'll maybe tell you and you should keep cuddling me when we sleep." neteyam deadpans, gaze frozen on ao'nung.

the metkayina boy stares at him filled with bewilderment until specific words start to register into his soul.

"wait what? why would you want me to cuddle you if you already like someone?"
ao'nung tilts his head in a frown, inevitably pushing his own hopes high.

"it's comfortable, what can i say?" neteyam shrugs before his gaze catches onto the dimmed night.

without hesitation, the forest na'vi suddenly walks off from a stunned ao'nung; giving another sense of deja vu.

"oh and ear rubs! don't think i forgot about that nung" neteyam exclaims as his heel continues to retreat back to the village.

his voice immediately retrieves the heir's reality before ao'nung finds himself beside neteyam, still out of it with his legs mindlessly leading the way.

"are you sure i know who it is..?"
ao'nung folds his ears, beating himself up for the fact that he's condoning neteyam possibly liking someone else but, he couldn't do much.

"you know him very well."

the heir just frowns, concentrated on who it could possibly be until the sentence starts to repeat itself in his mind.

"wait, he?"
neteyam's palm flies to his mouth, eyes bulging out at ao'nung with the expectation of the boy being severely disgusted.

"ah.."
easy to say neteyam is now the one who's speechless, terrified and overly frozen in fear.

with that, the omaticaya boy stops in his track, planting his gaze anywhere else other than on ao'nung.

"i know. liking the same sex is disgusting. just. forget that i've ever said such thing."
his voice starts to weaken, cracking at every elongated second.
the overflowing feeling of eager tears start to prick the corner of his ears as the tip of his nose sting up the nostrils.

ao'nung hated that.
he wishes to dispose himself; or rather his past self that had yet to open his eyes.
the months younger him had erupted everything for neteyam.
for himself.

the heir's eyes dangle all over the composing boy with a nose scrunch at such vulnerability.
without coming back into sense, ao'nung closes their proximity in absence of words as his hands cups itself around neteyam's cheeks.

he lightly pushes the boy's cheeks upwards so that their eyes meet.

already, with the sight of one another, neteyam's tears start to bubble up at the lids of his eye.
but regardless, he didn't want to move.

"i'm not disgusted teyam."
ao'nung furrows at such accusation.
assumptions neteyam couldn't help but pursue.

neteyam couldn't help but frown at those words.
the very words that had been spoken back home before the specific na'vi abandoned him.

as well as ao'nung contradicting his own words.

through a surprise attack, ao'nung instantly wraps his arms around the silent male tightly as neteyam's pupils dilate.

the forest boy's mind clicks at the difference in ao'nung but bites his tongue to resists the urge to question any further.

a sudden pressure heightens against neteyam's chest once he realises his feet pulls up off the ground and now being carried by the heir.
"nung?!"
he exclaims, holding onto the chuckling boy's shoulders as ao'nung begins to trail his way back.

and of course, the carried boy stopped function; from his thoughts to his body.

needless to say neteyam had just allowed it without any protest.
it's the least he could do considering how he's certain ao'nung doesn't feel the same.
who would?

with endless thoughts consuming the whole of neteyam, they've arrived back into a pod but it wasn't the sully's.
it was a much more miniature marui pod and neteyam had never seen it before.

"since when was there a pod here?" the boy mumbles with gaze fixated around them until ao'nung slowly releases him.

"it's been here since forever. my father built it for rotxo and i when we were younger." a small smirk curls up on the heir, slightly proud of his own father and his magic hands.

"it's so cool.." neteyam breaths out, taking a seat with eyes still glued away from the boy.

while neteyam had been busy captivated by the foreign looking pod, a zap rushes through his body and instantly looks over to ao'nung.

his cheeks couldn't help but puff up into a bloated warmth with the sight of a lower lidded ao'nung looking right back at him.

neteyam allowed to perplex sensation run all over as ao'nung starts to gently rub his ears, watching the forest boy like a hawk aiming for its prey.

at that moment, he could feel warmth and butterflies igniting from his lower stomach, making him feel itchy and at that, he instantly pulls onto the boy's wrist.

"i'm tired." his throat echos with rasp, begging for more through the eyes but he knew he shouldn't push his luck.

"you remember my condition, right..?" neteyam reluctantly asks the heir as he carefully tucks himself under the covers, eyes not leaving ao'nung for even a split second.

"of course, princess."
ao'nung curses at himself a second later.
something is definitely possessing the boy to say such things but ao'nung didn't mind at all.

and as if it was second nature to both boys, ao'nung wraps his arms around neteyam yet again whilst the other snuggles into the heir's chest, shifting about.

per usual, neteyam falls asleep as quick as light year whilst ao'nung allowed the dreading thoughts lap over whatever there is.

possibilities of na'vi's pop up in mind like a tape player skipping through images of the villagers that the their deems familiar.

not you, not you, definitely not you.
teyam wacked you in the head so that's a no.

all these consuming questions start to bubble within ao'nung who starts to feel frustration.
perhaps i'll see them tomorrow.

although he doesn't like the fact that neteyam likes someone else, ao'nung lets his eyelids meet; entering into darkness.
