Summary
Something was clearly wrong.
Neteyam confided in his family about this 'problem' he had been encountering ever since he made amends with the metkayina's oloeyktan's son.
"It's…weird," Neteyam stressed, scratching the back of his head in confusion while everyone else gathered around him in their family marui, attentively listening. "One moment he was tolerable, and the next- and the next it feels like he's purposely getting on my nerves, you know?" he pressed on, losing his mind over something so trivial.
Tuk spoke up first to give her opinion: "Maybe he's just being nostalgic?"
Neteyam furrowed his eyes. "Why would 'making me mad' be nostalgic?"
"Because that's all the two of you used to do some weeks ago!" Tuk reasoned, looking more and more sure of her deduction as seconds passed by.
Patting Neteyam's shoulder a couple of times, Toruk Makto said, "It's been so long since I heard anyone use this word, but…
"Son, I'm pretty sure he's ragebaiting you."
or five times Neteyam fell for ragebait. (Aonung was exactly where he wanted to be.)

Summary
Despite his palpable affections for the omatikayan, Aonung never dared to say anything about it. Unlike Tsireya and Loak, who pretty much were already seen as a pair by the entire village.
Aonung didn't want to get too attached. Just in case the Sullys suddenly decided it was time for them to return to the forest.
So, quite idiotically, the metkayina settled on being a friend Neteyam could lean on.
He thought it was enough - until he realised it wasn't.
It took Neteyam surviving a gunshot and miraculously surviving death itself for him to realise that it wasn't enough.
Aonung could've lost him, and the thought was convincing enough for him to get a grip.
Get a grip, and maybe, possibly, say something about the affection he felt for the other the entire time, and how he had been disguising it as being 'a good friend'.
Except he had no clue on how to go about it.
or Aonung is bad at expressing himself with words - and even worse with poems. Neteyam is (endearingly) confused.
alternatively: Aonung is pathetically down bad, and everyone except Neteyam can see it.

Summary
"I was being serious when I said I don't have many stories to tell, you know?" Neteyam settled to say, starting to feel a little bashful from the many times the other seemed to have shown interest in his life. (In him. It felt odd, considering how the people around him usually only ever ask about Toruk Makto and how it felt like to be the warrior's son.)
Purposely, before Aonung could say a word, the omatikayan added, "Plus, why do you still insist on getting me to talk anyway?" Then, just because, he added jokingly, "Do you like me or something?"
Rather than reacting to the joke, Aonung replied to the omatikayan's other questions. "Like I said; no way you don't have stories to tell.
You came to our shores wearing your cummerbund. That garment alone tells a lot."
"Like what?"
"Like how you look as young as your younger brother, but already act so…" he paused, thoughtful, "…mature."
"I don't look that mature."
"Forest boy. I'm also 15 - yet I still act like a child."
or Neteyam wasn't used to attention. (Aonung had all the time in the world.)

Summary
"Aonung," his father said, looking at his son with a faraway look, as if the oloeyktan was recalling a fond memory. "When the time comes, you will find the fire in someone's eyes so beautiful, that you will be willing to burn - just to see them glow," his father said, not making sense at all.
A few years later, it shocked the metkayina boy greatly when the first thought he had, as he looked into a stern pair of eyes, was of how breathtaking the shade of gold that he could find there, along with the fire softly crackling behind them.
All he could think about was how he was an idiot.
An idiot for not asking his father what he should do if he ever found someone that he was willing to burn for.
or Aonung wanted Neteyam's eyes to be on him at all times, but he learnt from his father that the best way to grab attention was 'by pissing the 'person of interest' of.

Summary
"But she asked me to take care of Pril, and that, I have done my part. I remained in Awa'atlu until your youngest sister was able to walk and speak a little.
Your mother had not told me to look after you, but now, your sister has become a part of my family. In welcoming her into my family, it is my duty to look after you, too, Aonung.
I, as any mother, know that not one of them ever wished for their children to remain unmated for the rest of their lives."
The softened yet serious expression on her face took on a more subtly pitying yet determined look as she continued, "…which is why, for your stay here, I would like you to meet some of our best women." A pause. "…and men."
(Aonung refrained from flinching at the mere thought of mating with someone who wasn't him.)
or Neytiri was worried that Aonung was still unmated at 25, so she tried 'opening up his shell' by introducing him to new faces. (Aonung would rather choke than look at anyone who's not him.)

Summary
So would it really be a stretch to assume that, maybe, Aonung was going out of his way to keep his schedule clear for Neteyam because he liked him? Or at least because he liked spending time with him?
He wasn't getting ahead of himself, was he?
But he had no way of testing his 'theory'.
A hand tucking his braid behind his ear snapped Neteyam out of his thought, and the omatikayan focused his attention back on his current companion - who looked a mixture of amused and fond as the said companion observed aloud:
"You're spacing out again."
Neteyam didn't have the heart to swat the lingering hand away.
"I'm thinking."
"About what?"
"About how you've changed so much."
It wasn't the entire truth, but it was a part of it.
or Neteyam miraculously survived, and his first order of business? To find out whether a certain metkayina boy returns his feelings or not. (Aonung absolutely does.)
alternatively: aonunete flirts and everyone is tired of them.

Summary
"You just think you're so pretty, forest boy," he retorted, rolling his eyes before abruptly turning around and walking away.
Even in the darkness, Neteyam could make out the way the metkayina's nape and the tips of his ears were growing purple-ish. Then again, he was standing pretty close to the other.
Just because he could, and because he couldn't help but feel a little amused by the other's flustered self, he added loud enough only for Aonung to hear:
"I never said I was 'pretty', but thank you for the compliment.”
Neteyam turned around quickly on his heels before Aonung could see the grin on his lips.
He couldn't help it. It was a little funny.
(And maybe a little endearing.)
or Neteyam was very good at ‘putting Aonung in place’. (Maybe Aonung liked Neteyam’s methods a little too much.)
alternatively: how their relationship progressed along with the kisses they shared.

Summary
"Sorry. For keeping that away from you.
I just thought that the matter of 'who's interested in me' is not something you want to know a-"
"That is definitely something I want to know about!" Aonung interjected. Blurting again.
Neteyam looked at Aonung in befuddlement.
Aonung wondered how he should get out of the mess he had put himself in.
"Why would you want to know that?" Neteyam questioned, tucking a braid behind his ear and his gaze momentarily shifting to the sand beneath them.
Bashful.
The 15-year-old omatikayan never failed to make Aonung want to reach and touch whenever the said omatikayan acted like this.
'Because the only one that's supposed to be asking you to be their mate is me, duh!'
"Because I'm a very great judge of character," was what Aonung ended up saying instead.
Neteyam looked.
or Aonung wants to make Neteyam his mate, and his only obstacle is the omatikayan's oblivious younger brother.
