    Summary

    "I think about you all the time." Maybe it's too much. But it's the truth and he needs Neteyam to know. "Sometimes I think I'm in love with you."

    He likes that Neteyam laughs and understands. He doesn't crucify him for saying these things. Using words of meaning loosely because he's so inundated with desire.

    "You barely know me."

    Aonung breathes in. He senses a challenge. "Then I want to know you."

    Summary

    The thing about Neteyam, was that he just couldn't seem to sit still. If he was not 'babysitting', he would be busying himself with whatever was asked of him by his parents. If that was not an option, then he would find things to busy himself with.

    On rare occasions, he would go to the village, and talk to the metkayinas.

    Not necessarily talk. Most of the metkayinas were all still weary of the Sullys to properly talk and befriend them. Sometimes, they would misspoke, and it was in these moments when Aonung would get to appreciate the omatikayan's 'expressiveness'.

    Whenever anyone misspoke, the corners of Neteyam's eyes would twitch very subtly.

    The omatikayan's tail would flick once, his ears would twitch, and the effort he kept on trying to maintain 'friendliness' would falter.

    The sight of the firstborn barely holding onto his threads was always such an amusing sight to Aonung's eyes.

     

    or how Aonung got a nasty habit of staring and picking apart every minute change in Neteyam's expressions. ('to be loved is to be seen' - or so they all said. It's no wonder Aonung fell hard.)

    Summary

    Neteyam leads a very normal office worker life.

    He works hard with his team. He gets along with coworkers.

    And maybe, occasionally, okay- everyday- he'd make out with his rival in an abandoned copy room on the fourth floor. So what?

    Completely normal activites.

    Also, it's March 17th.

    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.
