Yellow Eyes (Neteyam x Reader)

Starting to get feelings

Y/N's POV

It's morning. The sun is barely up and we're already at the beach to start today's lessons. Aonung doesn't want to do anything today, so he is staying home.

"Okay guys, as promised we teach you today how to ride an Ilu" Tsireya starts.

"Y/N, are you going with them?" Tuk asks me.

"Nope, I'll stay with you the whole day" I smile. "How about we have some girltime?"

Her eyes widen from excitement. "I would love that!"

As Tsireya is starting her lesson, Neteyam comes walking up to me.

"So, also not an Ilu-rider, huh?"

"Nope" I shake my head. "As I said yesterday, I'm not a water person"

He then looks at me, taking in every inch of my body. He doesn't seem to care that he's doing it so obviously.

I don't mind it though.

I think it's hot.

After a few more seconds he breaks the silence.

"You're kind of mysterious to me"

"Oh? And what is it that you find so mysterious then?" I ask, while grinning.

"Neteyam! You coming?" Tsireya shouts from the water.

He turns his head to her and signs that he's coming. He then turns his head back to me.

"I'm sorry, but we'll have to continue this conversation later"

I smile. "That's okay, I'll wait"

He winks at me and then turns around to join the group again.

Tuk comes running up to me.

"Come on! Let's have some fun!" She says.

***

Tuk and I spend all day together, just playing and chatting about everthing.

It's getting late, so I'm assuming that the lessons are almost over.

I'm on the beach with Tuk, building a sandcastle.

"So, why don't you go into the water?" Tuk asks me out of nowhere.

"I don't like water" I smile at her.

"But, if you don't like water, how can you live here?"

"You know, that's a really good question" I say, whilw furrowing my brows. "You are a really smart girl, you know that?"

She nods proudly. "Oh I know, I'm way smarter then my brothers and sister"

I laugh at her response, she's so funny.

But her question is a really good one. It takes me a little by surprise, to be honest. I don't know how to answer it, I mean I can't tell her the truth obviously. So I stay silent. I really don't know what else to do.

"I get it, you don't have to answer" She says, her face showing a bit of disappointment.

But it soon fades away. "Do you like my brother?"

My eyes widen. How did she come up with that?

"I-I don't know..? Why do you ask?"

"Because you always turn red if you talk to him"

I put my hands over my face, wich is making her laugh really hard.

"YOU LIKE MY BROTHER!" She shouts, pointing her finger towards me.
