" SHIT." Lo'ak mumbled underneath his breath. His older brother was the last person he wanted to see tonight.

" What were you doing out there ? "

Neteyam scolded him, subconsciously looking to see if he had any scars on his body.

" Everyone is worried about you."

" I'm fine." Lo'ak shrugged him off. " I just needed some time for myself."

Neteyam eyed his younger brother, it was obvious there was something he wasn't telling him.

" I wanted to talk to you." He brought up making the boy uneasy.

" What is it ? "

" I didn't like the way you treated [Y/n] this morning. Did anything happen ? "

Neteyam questioned making Lo'ak instinctively roll his eyes.

" Bro, she didn't do anything okay ? I was already planning on apologizing to her later." The young na'vi replied with annoyance.

" Lo'ak- "

" Why do you even care so much ? "

" Bro, she's my girlfriend."

Neteyam disclosed as Lo'ak's eyes grew wide.Vocals swallowing back into his throat from his brother's sudden reveal.

It felt like his heart got poked by a hundred needles all at once and he didn't like it one bit.

" We've been together for a week now, I was planning on telling you but you left." Neteyam explained unknowing of the damage it was causing him.

" Oh. Congrats."

Lo'ak responded.

He turned to leave when Neteyam roughly grabbed him by the arm and held him back.

" You're going to tell me what is going on with you, now." Neteyam ordered as he stared into his brother's eyes.

Lo'ak scoffed before tugging his arm away from his grasp.

" I'm not telling you shit." He replied with a sharp glare in his eyes.

Neteyam almost didn't recognize his brother anymore.

Why was he acting like this ?

" Nete' ? Lo'ak ? "

A feminine voice cut in making both brothers snap their heads towards her.

" [Y/n]..."

Lo'ak uttered. The hard gaze he once had softening as soon as he laid his eyes on her.

" Where were you, Lo' ? " [Y/n] asked bringing her attention to the youngest brother.

" I was so worried about you ! "

She exclaimed as she made her way between the two boys.

" He was In the woods apparently."

The older na'vi answered clutching his girlfriend by the waist.

For a certain reason, this interaction triggered something in Lo'ak. His jaw tightening as he gazed at the hand on her hips.

Was he jealous ?

He removed his lingering gaze and locked eyes with his brother who was already staring at him.

Lo'ak smirked as his brother's eyes never left his, his face already telling him what he was thinking.

Looks like he finally figured it out.

Lo'ak thought. The rigid tension in the air quickly being noticed by [Y/n] as she switched her gaze between both brothers.

" I think I should leave- "

" No. Stay. "

Lo'ak required subliminally taking hold of her wrist." I- uh I need to talk to you."

" Alone." Lo'ak emphasized looking back at his older brother who's glareΒ  hardened.

" Sure ? "

[Y/n] replied as she looked at both hands holding her in place.

" It's not going to take long." She said turning around to face Neteyam.

" I get it now." Neteyam uttered as he gave one last glance at his younger brother before leaving.

Once he was out of sight, the male na'vi wasted no time in expressing himself.

" Guess I’ll get right into it."

He glanced at [Y/n] only to find her gaze still in the currents near them.

" I'm sorry, [Y/n]." He began." I was being an ass and I regret it- "

" I forgive you." [Y/n] smiled at him.

A smile so genuine it made his heart race and stomach flutter.

" You do ? "

" Yeah, I'm glad that you apologized."
[Y/n] continued." I thought you hated me." She chuckled.

" No...no I don't. I could never hate you, [Y/n]." He admitted making her look back at him.

"Even after all those times I've treated you like shit, you always found way to forgive me. Understand me. I've been hated and considered an outcast all my life yet you somehow saw the good in me."

" I couldn't be more grateful for that, for someone like you." He brought to light.

[Y/n] looked into his irises as she took hold of his hands and held it firmly against her chest.

" I see you."

The young male's pupils dilated at her words. He felt like time stopped once his yellow orbs got lost in her ocean colored ones.

How could someone be this beautiful ?

It took everything inside him to not take her right here, right now.

But the sudden thought of his brother disrupted his peace.

" No, you don't understand." The boy shook his head as the girl furrow her brows.

" I'm in love with you, [Y/n]."

Shock.

[Y/n] was in complete shock.

Her eyes wide open as she gaped at the na'vi infront of her.

He's bluffing ?

She deliberated. Although she didn't want to believe any of this, apart of her could tell he wasn't lying.

The way he looked at her was all she needed to know.

" Lo'ak this isn't funny." She phrased still convincing herself that this was all a big joke.

" I'm serious, [Y/n]."

" I-I'm in love with someone else-"

" I know."

He simply answered, trying to ignore the stinging sensation he felt in his heart as [Y/n] reminded him of the hurtful truth.

" I don't know what to tell you." [Y/n] began to panic.

" You don't have to say anything, I get it." He replied looking down at their hands held together.

" Lo'-"

" My brother is a way better option for you. I know it is him you want to be with and I understand that. I trust him with you–I know he will give you everything that I couldn’t."

Lo'ak finished as his head hung low. [Y/n] was startled with the unexpected confession.

However, before he could continue she pulled him in. Lo'ak gaping as he found himself in the crook of the girl's neck.

" Why ? " He pondered as he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

" Just take it."

She replied softly caressing the back ofΒ  Lo'ak's head.

[Y/n's] delicate touch instantly making him feel at ease.

The boy's tears suddenly fell on her shoulder." I never wanted any of this to happen- "

" Shh it's okay." [Y/n] reassured patting his back.

The two of them in a soothing silence as they embraced each other.

Not knowing that Neteyam secretly stood behind a pod as he heard the whole conversation.

" So this is what you never wanted to tell me, brother ? " He whispered to himself as he watched them from a small distance.

-

After that day, the topic was never mentioned again.

Eventually, the two brothers had a long discussion and rekindled their relationship.

Lo'ak and [Y/n] started taking their distances.

Lo'ak then went back to the forest with the rest of his family meanwhile Neteyam stayed with [Y/n].

Even if the circumstances were unfortunate.

It was the best decision to make for them to move on...right ?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A FEW YEARS LATER...

" Baby bro ! " Neteyam welcomed his younger brother with open arms as he brought him in a bear hug.

" H-hey, how're you guys doing ? "

Lo'ak laughed while wrestling against his older brother's hold.

" We're doing just fine and you ? "

Neteyam answered as he eyed him for a minute.

" You've grown..." Neteyam remarked, squeezing his brother's muscles as he then noticed he grew in height.

" Ow- stop that ! " Lo'ak spat making his brother chuckle.

" I heard you've been seeing someone, is it true ? " Neteyam questioned as heΒ wrapped his arm around Lo'ak's neck.

" Nah, it's not like that." Lo'ak replied briefly, not interested in the topic.

" So, what's the big reveal everybody's been talking about ? "

He asked impatiently as he noticed the large grin plastered on Neteyam's face.

" Princess ! " Neteyam called out of the blue making Lo'ak cringe.Β 

" Yes, baby ? " A soft feminine voice answered while stepping out of the marui pod.

Lo'ak froze in place as he locked eyes with the stunning woman standing in front of him.

It was [Y/n].

She was pregnant.

" It's been a long time, Lo'."

Her cute dimples appearing on both sides of her cheeks as she greeted the dumbfounded man.

" I- uh...hi [Y/n]." Lo'ak stuttered as he nervously averted his gaze back to his brother.

" You're going to be an uncle ! "

Neteyam declared excitingly as he helped his mate get down the stairs.

" Of twins." The woman added taking Lo'ak's hand in hers while placing it on her bloated stomach.

Lo'ak having that familiar reaction once again. His breathing accelerating as soon as [Y/n] touched him.

" What the fuck..."

He blurted making the couple laugh.Β 

" They're kicking." [Y/n] winced as her mate instantly brought his attention back to her.

" I-I think I need some air."

Lo'ak excused himself almost slipping on the rubber textured pathway.

" I'm happy for you guys. Really." He added making the soon to be parents beam at him.

Once he was alone he immediately fell down to his knees groaning in frustration.

" Fuck ! " He grumbled placing his arms behind his neck.

" No ! No ! No ! " He repeated banging his head against a tree.

He was sure his feelings for her had vanished. He thought everything was gone.

He wasn't supposed to feel the exact same way he felt the first time he saw her.

" This isn't supposed to happen Eywa, please." He continued as his eyes began to get teary.

He had just received joyous news. ButΒ  why was he so sad all of a sudden?

" What the fuck is wrong with me !? "

He yelled looking at the sky as he ran his fingers through his braids.

I mean was it really his fault ?

There's been this saying...

You can never forget your first love.

End of oneshot.
