neteyam x reader

i dont like the way he looks at you 18+

You and Neteyam hadn't publicly announced that you were mated yet. No one knew, but you supposed people had their suspicions. Jake and Neytiri definitely were on to you, and your parents were catching on slowly but surely. They already knew you were both having sleepovers almost every night, but they trusted you and both parents liked their respective future daughter/son in law.

There were some downsides to not announcing the news that you were mated yet, and that was that some other hoes thought they had a chance with your man. Obviously Neteyam would never
even look at them they way he looked at you, but that didn't stop you from being jealous and throwing yourself at him in front of them any chance you could get. You loved seeing the jealous look on their faces, and if he was being honest with himself, Neteyam liked that you were possessive of him, but he didn't like the situation so much the other way around.

This particular day started off as any other, you woke up beside your mate, and left your home early to gather some fruits for him and for your parents. You brought a woven basket with you, and set off into the forest, gently kissing him on the forehead before you left, making sure not to wake him.

Once you had arrived, you began examining your surroundings, picking berries and fruits here and there, making sure to leave plenty behind incase someone were to come after you looking for fruits. Once you were satisfied with what you found, you started making your way back when you heard a rustling in the bushes.
Your ears perked up immediately, and you regretted not bringing your weapon with you. As you reached for the knife you kept on you, a somewhat familiar face popped out from behind the trees.

it was the player boy. you rolled your eyes, damn not again..

"Y/n, nice to see you here. What've you got there, hmm?" he chuckles and moves closer to you, grabbing a berry and popping it into his mouth. "Thanel, I was just on my way back from picking these fruits, my family is expecting me."
you start to turn away from him, annoyed by his presence, when he scuttles in front of you, blocking your path. "hey-hey don't leave so soon! i just wanna chat. I think it's great your out here gathering fruit..." he moves a step closer to you. "you'd make a great mate you know..."

He smiled at you, but then frowned when he noticed the disinterested, almost disgusted look on your face.
"uh im flattered Thanel but i really should be getting back by now."

you turn around once again and he hops in front of you once more. Over his shoulder, you can see Neteyam in the distance, eyeing the situation, so you figured you could speak freely with Thanel since your mate was right there if things went wrong.
"you know y/n, i've always thought you were the most beautiful woman here. And look at me, obviously i'm the hottest man😮‍💨 you should stop running around with that demon blood-Neteyam and pick me as your mate. I'm a good hunter, i'm strong. You need me."

he tried to put his hand on your cheek, but you swatted it away, smirking as you see your mate getting closer. Thanel didn't seem to notice.
"you know, you aren't a prize, Thannel. I would never agree to be your mate, not even if we were the last two people on pandora."

"disrespectful woman" he mutters. He raised a hand to slap you, witch Neteyam caught. Neteyam threw him aside, and barked "get away from here. right now."
it wasn't often that Neteyam hissed, but in this moment, he shows his fangs and spat at Thannel. Thannel hissed back before walking away, giving you one last look, almost like he was trying and failing to be intimidating.

the thoughts going through Neteyams mind were dangerous when he came across his mate in the forest alone with that dumbass. Things like; what are they doing, what are they talking about, why is he talking to her, why isn't she able to break away from the conversation, etc.
