    Summary

    "You're such a fucking coward." The words came out quiet, but they landed like a slap.

    "Don't call me that."

    "Why not? It's true." Neteyam stepped closer, into his space, close enough to smell the familiar passionfruit scent that had haunted his dreams for the past months. "You're so terrified of what it might mean that you'd rather burn everything down than admit you felt something."

    "I didn't feel anything—"

    "Liar." The word was a weapon. "You felt it. You wanted it."

    Ao'nung's face went red— from anger or embarrassment, or both. "Shut the fuck up."

    "I think you'll do anything to avoid having an actual honest conversation." Neteyam's voice was cold now, all the hurt crystallizing into something sharp. "Including picking a fight. Including pretending I'm just some drunk mistake you can forget about."

    "I said shut UP—"
