    Summary

    When Aonung noticed Neteyam stepping out of the marui, he purposely stepped forward, and almost forgot his 'objective' when he ended up mistakenly gauging.

    He wasn't supposed to be bumping too close to the omatikayan boy, but he ended up bumping close enough that they clashed, shoulder to shoulder.

    Something inside him tingled and preened at the way the omatikayan boy had to tilt his face to look at him.

    The small smile playing on Neteyam's lips was quickly replaced with a scowl. A frown. A pout.

    Aonung wasn't sure how to describe it, but it made his gaze linger.

     

    or Aonung riled Neteyam up too much, and then tried making amends. (He's lucky Neteyam had always been so forgiving - and that he maybe returned ‘some’ of the metkayina’s feelings.)

    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

    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

    “Teyam?”

    No response.

    “Neteyam, it’s not funny. Wake the fuck up.”

    Again, not even a single word came through Aonung’s ears, he didn’t like it, not one bit.

    Oh, how shitty it felt.

    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.)
