+I Love You+
I watched in amusement as Grace was forced to stand up and dance with one of the Na'vi. After the 'Rebirth,' there was a feast, and then what only one could call as a party. Their own form of music was played through drums, and instruments that seemed so familiar to Earth's primitive ones that it was surprising that there was any difference between us and them at all. Some female and male Na'vi sang, while others simply got up and danced. It was the kind of dance you'd see old tribes from back on earth perform. I even found myself laughing happily at the thing within a short amount time.
It wasn't hilarious, infact it was amazing, but the way the Na'vi were trying to teach Grace was what made it comical. She would try to move like the best of them, but sadly she failed almost miserably.
However, nothing about this, other than that, was comical at all. It was fascinating, calming, and yet made you feel so ecstatic it drove you over the edge.
The Na'vi even had their own form of an alcoholic beverage here, which most of the males were drinking at the moment. Even I, who had received some from a very flirtatious male Na'vi.
While sipping on the drink I watched Neytiri and Jake off in the distance as they talked with one another and flirted. However my attention was turned away as I watched Tsu'tey dance around with the best of the fools. Who knew he could let loose in front of so many people like this? He seemed happy, and free to express himself here. This was his family. These were his people…and now in a way…mine.
"Come dance," a female Na'vi begged as she suddenly took my hand and led me out into the circle surrounding the fire. Laughing, I shook my head, but she continued to encourage me to sway to the beat, and before I knew it, both Grace and I were dancing around like fools with the best of them. Neytiri joined our group at some point as well, leaving Jake laughing with the other male warriors.
However somewhere during all the fun I was having, I began to notice Tsu'tey's eyes watching me with admiration as I twisted and turned with the other girls. Taking this into account my movements became much more tempting, and smooth. His eyes never strayed, but when they did it was only because one of his warrior friends had pulled him away so he could have another drink of the special juice.
Looking over to Neytiri, with her mane hanging almost straight, and a flower donning her hair, I couldn't help but feel almost like her twin. After the rebirth she had taken me to clean up and help me dress for the event. While doing so she had dressed me almost exactly in what she was wearing. The only difference was I had a pink flower in my hair, and instead of wearing a short purple loin clothe she had me in one that hung a little past my knees that was almost dark blue.
She smiled at me, as I did her. If it weren't for Neytiri's help through these past three months then I would have never gotten through. She had not only dressed me, fixed my hair, and taught me the ways of the Na'vi, but she had also become my best friend, or sister I guess you could say.
Turning my eyes away from her as she left the circle to go be with Jake, I placed them upon Tsu'tey once again. He was happy for a while until one of his friends pulled him away from the group. I watched curiously as Tsu'tey face dropped at his friend's words. Looking up at me, and quickly noticing my gaze, he looked away. Finding that odd I went to leave the circle, but one of the many female Na'vi kept me with them until the very end of the music. However when it did end, I barely caught Tsu'tey leaving, or for that matter Neytiri and my brother sneaking off.
Looking back at the party, I figured they wouldn't miss me, so without another thought I began to follow Tsu'tey. As I exited Home-Tree I quickly lost track of him, and took to following my brother and Neytiri. I know it was wrong of me to follow them, but I figured that if Jake was going to keep me in line, then I would be there to crash his party as well.
Sneaking behind them, I soon found myself heading somewhere almost familiar. Almost as if I had been there in dream. Slowing down, I began to forget all about my brother and Neytiri, while I took in my surroundings.
Passing over a large root, I gazed in wonder at the enormous waterfall beside me as the water crashed down into the pool below. I let my eyes take in the Pandorian glow that playfully mingled with the planet and moons' rays from above making the forest, the river, and the air seem so powered, so mystical and peaceful. Something seemed magical about this place, but familiar.
Continuing forward, already way too far behind Neytiri and Jake to catch up to them, I made my way across the root. Jumping, and skipping across certain parts, I soon found myself on the other side looking up at what looked like willow trees. However these willow trees were different than the ones back home. Their limbs seemed to glow white, with pink and purple hues. The way they swayed seemed to make them look almost as alive as I was right now.
Moving forward toward the trees I stirred up a few of the unusual dragonfly like creatures. As they twisted around in circles like kites, and gave off their unearthly glow I closed my eyes and listened to the soft music them and the nature around me seemed to bring.
Cracking open my eyes slowly I started back up, before turning around and heading into the willow tree forest. As I walked a different, much narrower, path than the original, I reached out my hands and let them touch the tiny glowing vines. The limbs almost instantly clung to me as I walked, and I quickly noticed just how warm they felt. Like I had said before, they seemed almost alive.
However my peace was broken when I heard a Na'vi's words break through the air; a prayer being spoken to the night I assumed from the sound of it. Following the familiar voice I soon found myself looking upon a crouching Tsu'tey as he prayed to Eywa. Looking closely I noticed his braid attached to one of the vines, and it was then that I realized just how right my assumption had been about this tree. It was alive…at least in some sense.
Walking forward, with no fear that I had interrupted anything, he stirred hearing my footsteps. Looking up at me with slight shock, I simply smiled comfortingly at him. However he didn't smile back as he disconnected his queue from the tree limb.
"I saw you leave. I thought I'd see if you were okay," I whispered still not fazed by his stoic expression.
"I am fine," he mumbled turning fully to see me.
"What is this place," I asked trying to get him to talk. Noticing a small smile form as pride swept over him he replied, "This is a place for prayers to be heard…" Walking forward to one of the vines I let my cheek nuzzle in its warmth before Tsu'tey finished with a full grin, "...and sometimes answered."
Making his way over to me he pulled up my braid so I could see my queue, before whispering in English, "We call these trees Utraya Mokri." Placing my braid in the palm of my hand, he finished, "The Tree of Voices. The voices of our ancestors." Carefully, after glancing between him and the three vines in my hand, I placed my queue onto them.
The moment they connected it was like I was reliving the past. Like I was seeing everyone, and hearing all of his or her prayers. I could hear them chanting, pleading, and crying out for their deity's help or guidance. It amazing; unreal even. Yet it was real, as real as it'd ever be.
"I can hear them," I whispered in Na'vi with my eyes shut tight. Feeling Tsu'tey's hands upon mine, I knew instantly he had connected his braid from the new rush I felt. Opening my eyes I looked at him with a sense of serenity as he smiled, "They live, Mia…within Eywa." As he went to look up as if she were there, I found the tiny seeds of the sacred tree floating above us. Everything seemed so magical here. Everything seemed so calm.
Feeling Tsu'tey's hands being placed over my heart I turned to look at him as he replied proudly, "You are Omaticaya now," however as he went on some darker thought seemed to dawn on him as he whispered, "You may make your bow from the wood of Home-Tree." Gazing at me for a few moments, a deep sadness slowly took over his eyes. Then ever so calmly he turned away saying, "And a man may now choose you as his mate."
Watching quietly, I felt my heart break at his words. I knew this day would come. I always assumed it would be different, but Tsu'tey was almost completely shutting down. He was trying to shut me out now while he still had the chance.
"We have many good men," he replied holding out one of his hands for a seed from the sacred tree to land in, "Wor'itan is a good hunter."
"But I don't want Wor'itan," I mumbled unhappily as I came nearer to him.
"Atan'eko, though not on my good side, would make a good father," Tsu'tey spoke again a little irritated by my refusal of the first. It was as if he was trying to make me choose. It was as if he were trying to push me away, which is something I did not want him to do in the least.
"Yeah, he would make a good father," I mumbled as my own irritation spiked. Hearing this Tsu'tey turned around slightly fearful. Looking into his eyes I noticed the slight terror in them.
"But I do not want him. I do not want any man you're going to suggest for that matter," I replied stubbornly. Hearing this Tsu'tey sighed in relief, but also annoyance, "Mia, you must choose someone. You can't live without a mate for long. It is time you let go of Sage and let your heart…"
"I've already chosen," and as he heard the words he snapped to attention. Looking at me with curiosity, trying to figure out just whom I meant I went to say, "But this man must also choose me." Then just as if the light bulb turned on over his head, he smiled with a tiny chuckle before replying, "He already has." However the mood was broken as he whispered, "But we can't…I can't…"
Placing my finger upon his lips, I mumbled, "For once in your life Tsu'tey…choose something you want. Not what others want." Looking at me with his bright golden eyes he moved my hand aside and took it into his. Looking at our joined hands he moved forward. Placing his forehead upon mine he whispered, "Then I'd choose you…It's always been you. I've fallen for you, and nobody else can ever take your place. I love you, Mia with all my soul." Feeling the tears in my eyes from the happiness at hearing his words, I leaned forward. Bringing my lips to his ear I whispered back, "And I am in love with you, Tsu'tey." Pulling away, he placed his hand gently on the back of my neck, and urged me forward. Placing a sweet, but gentle kiss upon my lips, it was as if everything that had once been hardened inside of me crumbled.
There was no fear, no anguish. There was no more pain, or numbness. All of those bad thoughts were chased away by his simple kiss; by his simple words, "I love you." Tsu'tey had been what I had needed all along. I didn't just want him…I needed him. I needed him like I needed air. I needed him like my body needed a heartbeat to live. Tsu'tey made everything okay. He made everything I was just fade away. I was reborn, when I was with him. I wasn't human. I was Na'vi as long as I was within his arms.
Tracing my bottom lip with his tongue I allowed him entrance. The moment I got my first taste of him I was immediately met with the flavor of that familiar tropical fruit, which only made me hunger for his kiss more. As our tongues danced with one another, our movements became faster, and much more heated.
I could feel his hands as they roamed over my skin while leaving goose bumps in their wake. My own hands created the same upon him as he pressed up against me. Pulling away from the kiss he took a moment to breathe before leaving a trail of kisses down my neck, and across my shoulder. Without so much as a thought a moan escaped my lips, but instead of stopping him, this only urged him on.
Bringing his lips back up my neck, leaving a wet trail with his tongue, he began to nibble on my ear casually before whispering, "Wrap your legs around me." Following his order obediently, he helped me to wrap my legs around his waist as he took us to a nearby tree trunk.
While he was busy leading me away I turned around and gave him a dose of his own medicine. Ever so casually I began to leave a trail of kisses down his jaw and across the front of his neck, occasionally nipping here or there. Finding this only seemed to urge him on and make him emit feral growls an idea formed in my mind. Tsu'tey didn't mind it rough, and if he didn't mind then I wasn't going to play all-innocent. Smiling deviously into his rough kiss, I casually raked my fingernails across his back.
This definitely got a reaction out of him as he grinded into me. However as he did so a certain something hit a spot just right, earning he himself a reaction from me. Covering my moan up with his lips, I heard his chuckle, before he deviously repeated this action. This time, as he did it so well, not even his lips could keep me from leaning my head back and emitting a loud gasp.
There was very little between us, or for that matter on us. This made the effect even more amazing, and alluring. Leaning back up, I nuzzled my cheek with his, while still breathing heavily from the feeling he had brought me. It had been so long since I had even been like this. So long since I had let myself feel this way, or let myself give into this pleasure. However for me to give in, especially give in to him…it was… absolutely wonderful.
Reaching behind his back he pulled his braid forward. Without moving away from him I did the same. Then, without even a single thought or look, we connected our queues. The moment they bonded with one another it felt like a massive explosion inside of me went off. It felt like an earthquake, tornado, volcanic eruption, and tidal wave all in one; plus more. I could feel everything he was feeling. I could feel his want. I could feel his pleasure. I could feel the ecstasy that was building up inside of him, just begging for release, and all I wanted to do was help him achieve it. All I wanted to was to be his, and to give myself to him. I didn't just want it though…I needed it, because it was then that I could feel my own want throbbing inside of me almost ungodly.
Without realizing it I was already lying on the ground before I could take time and beg him to let us lie. As he hovered above me, letting his own hands and body rub against mine, my moans only grew, as did his. This was nothing like back home on earth. This was better. This made me actually feel like I was one with him, like there was no separating us, but I knew we could be closer, and we both knew it.
Opening my eyes I found his golden orbs staring back into mine with the silent question. Was I truly ready to push all boundaries? Was either of us ready? However as his hand gently caressed my cheek, and I continued to stare into his eyes I knew deep down I was ready. I was ready to give in. I was ready to let go off all that had been holding me back. As he heard my reply through our tsaheylu he smiled at me warmly, as did I. Leaning down he placed a butterfly kiss upon my lips, before leaning back up.
Ridding us of what little was separating our bodies from one another he came to lie on top of me again, before looking at me for reassurance. Placing a soft kiss upon his lips he took that as his cue, before slowly sliding in.
My body jerked from this new intrusion, and it was then that I remembered. Though I had lain with many men in my human body, my avatar was still pure. I was pure in this body. I was a virgin Na'vi. Tsu'tey, realizing this as well, began to ease in much more carefully. When he reached the tiny thin barrier he looked at me one last time. Taking a deep breath I leaned into him for comfort as I gave a single nod. With that he accepted the last pure thing I'd ever have.
As my body shook from piercing pain he refused to move. He was being gentle, and caring about how I felt; something that I had not seen in my first as a human. He brought a whole new level to beliefs on men.
Leaning down he placed soft kisses upon my lips, and cheeks. He even kissed away the tears from the pain. I had forgotten just how painful it was to loose that last bit of innocence you had. I forgot just how long it took for it to subside too. However what I wish I had remembered was what it felt like when the pain all but faded away, leaving nothing but pleasure.
Tsu'tey slowly began to push in again. Arching my back from the pleasure I couldn't help the loud moan as he slid back out. However, he made sure to be gentle, and slow with his thrusts, which was something I didn't quite mind for the first few minutes. One because I was still a little sore, and two, because I knew he wanted to make sure I was okay, but hearing my silent pleas through our tsaheylu for him to go faster, after a while he almost gladly picked up speed. He became rougher, and much less caring for how I'd feel if he dug his own nails into my arm and shoulder. I too even became less caring as I raked my own nails across his back, and met his every thrust with just as much strength. There was nothing sweet or gentle about this anymore, and yet neither of us seemed to mind. Both us knew what we wanted and where to touch one another through our bond. Everything was amplified through our tsaheylu. There were no mistakes as long as we were bonded. So as this continued, so did the building of a special feeling below both of our waists.
With one final, strong thrust of my own I felt myself hit the final peak. Shuddering beneath Tsu'tey, I could feel myself tightening around him, and then within only half a second he was right behind me as he trembled against my body. Breathing heavily into the crook of his neck, I could feel his own hot breath against my ear. I could hear his every ragged breath as he lied there catching back up with the world.
There were no words for what we just did. We just went against everything we had been told, and yet I had no remorse…nor did he. Moving away he leaned up and brushed what little stray hairs had dared to come lay upon my face. Still breathing heavily he chuckled with an innocent smile. Closing my eyes I too giggled. I was happy; happier than I ever had been. Feeling his lips upon mine, I leaned into his them without thought.
When I no longer felt his kiss I opened my eyes and looked over to find him instead lying beside me just staring as he played with my hair, and as his golden orbs, met my sky blues there was no denying the silent thought between us. This was meant to be. Eywa had meant it to be. We couldn't fight it, and it was surprising we had fought it for as long as we had.
Letting my finger twirl through his braids, I heard him mumble, "Promise you won't ever go away." Closing my eyes, I wished I didn't have too, but feeling his emotions when he heard these thoughts, I knew somehow I wouldn't leave. Even if I had to live out my days as half-human, half-Na'vi; even if I had to live in that machine Grace called Gorgeous; then I would, and why? Because of Tsu'tey. I would do it because I loved Tsu'tey, and I couldn't imagine a life without him now.
"I won't ever leave," I whispered as our queues disconnected. Feeling his warms lips on my forehead, I smiled a sad smile. If only he understood that one day I might have to leave though; that I might be forced. My stay here wasn't permanent like Grace's. I wasn't really needed here like Jake, or Norm.
Pulling away from him I returned my garb to its natural order, as did he, but neither of us made a move to leave. Neither of us got up to head back to Home-tree. Instead we lied there together amongst the Utraya Mokri. I let him wrap his arms around my waist and pull me to his chest. I even let myself wrap my legs up within his. Neither of us wanted to move. I don't think either of us could even if we wanted to.
I guess it's because we knew the moment we'd return to Home-Tree, either all hell would break loose, or we'd just end up separating again as we followed orders. Maybe Ewya was wrong. Maybe this wasn't right… but as Tsu'tey showered me with gentle butterfly kisses, and I allowed myself to nuzzle my head into the crook of his neck; I knew there was no mistake. There had never been a mistake.
We just had to figure out on our own how we were going to make this work. This was one of our tests from the deity herself. This was one of our biggest tests within our love for one another. Closing my eyes, I whispered, "How is this going to work?" However instead of an answer I would have liked, Tsu'tey replied back, "Shhh, let's not worry about that now." Listening to the man I loved I quieted and whispered back one last thing, "Goodnight Tsu'tey." Barely audible I heard a sleepy Tsu'tey mumble back, "Goodnight, Mia."
Closing my own eyes, I was unaware of the golden orbs watching us in the shadows, or the evil look they wore so proudly upon discovering what they had. Instead I let myself slip, and return to my human body where the moment my eyes shot open there was only one thing on my mind, "What the hell are you doing, Mia?"
Hahahaha I bet ya'll love that. I also realize some of you are thinking… "There was FINALLY lemon," but I didn't want to make this story all about that. However for all of those who didn't like it then it's your fault for reading an M rated story. There's going to be a little graphicness in there somewhere. Anyway…hehehe I know you all loved this chapter deep down. Awwwe Tsu'tey and Mia cuteness. Either way I know it was short, but I wanted it to be. I promise I'll try to make the next chapter longer. However I do hope this one holds you over for now.
