so this is just an idea I had in my head. I hope you enjoy, first time ever posting. This takes place during the "one year later" period in Awow. I also aged up the kids because I feel weird writing them as 13/14 but the story is still the same.Tuk...

The ride to the spirit tree felt like an eternity for Neteyam. Being in your presence was agonizing. He just wanted to touch you, tell you that he was the one you should be with, not Lo'ak. But he couldn't; he is selfless. If you and Lo'ak were happy, he couldn't take that away.
You, on the other hand, wanted to grab his tail and pull him off his ilu. Why wasn't he talking to you? You thought you had shared a special moment and that you meant something more to each other.
Tsireya started to surface, and you all followed. Tuk turned around and waved at you. She looked so cute, clinging to Kiri's back.
When you wiped the water from your eyes, you were left breathless. It was beautiful—the structures and rocks.
"Eclipse is the best time to come here." Tsireya turned around, flashing us a smile.
You hopped of your ilu and started to swim to where ever Tsireya was leading you. The area was beautiful but where was the tree?
"Okay this might be a silly question but where is the tree?"
Kiri rolled her eyes "Y/n." she pointed down at the huge thing glowing underwater.
"Thank you so much for answering my question Kiri" you stuck your tongue out at her.
Everyone else laughed.
Neteyam wanted to interact with you so badly, but he held himself back. When Rotxo started to swim toward you, he wanted to dunk him in the water. How many Metkayina boys would he have to fight to show that you were not available? Rotxo was there when the fight broke out.
"Y/n" Rotxo swam to you, "um. Does Kiri like anyone?" he said shyly
You furrowed your brows. Did Rotxo like Kiri?
"As more than a friend? I don't think so." you placed a hand on his shoulder.
Neteyam was in shock; you were touching Rotxo. He was ready to let himself drown. Rotxo probably noticed Neteyam wasn't talking to you and was making a move. Why was he being so dumb?
"Everyone dive, when you connect the spirit tree will provide you with more oxygen." Tsireya dived down.
The spirit tree was beautiful; the animals swam around it. It was so bright. You looked to Kiri, and she was compelled.
You swam down to her while she connected her tsaheylu, and we're about to join your tsaheylu. When you reached her, you noticed Kiri started twitching a little. Fear and panic hit it when she started convulsing.
"Ki-" you started to scream but water got in your mouth. You searched for help and Neteyam, Tsireya and Rotxo were swimming toward you. You broke the bond and started to pull Kiri up. Neteyam took her from you and you grabbed Tuk.
