"neteyam!" she shouted again, this time gaining his attention. by the looks of it, he was adding the finishing touches to the tree house. he smiled down and waved, "come up!"

talia and lo'ak exchanged glances, the boy shrugged and motioning for her to go first. he said, "ladies first," but they both knew he just wanted another view of her ass.

getting to the top, talia's jaw dropped. it was even better than she could've imagined, having only seen the unfinished bottom before this. "oh my eywa.." she muttered as her eyes cast over the layout. it wasn't especially large by any means, but it was cozy and meaningful.

"what do you think?" neteyam scratched his hairline, nervous that she wouldn't like it after spending so many hours working on it. but that wasn't the case, "i love it! you're so amazing!" she threw her arms around his neck and squeezed him into a hug.

talia pulled back and connected her lips onto his, a heat of the moment kiss that spoke more than any words could. she let herself get lost in him, finding his lips to be quite the trance.

lo'ak cleared his throat, making the two break away and look to him. "where's my kiss? i brought you out here, that's as good as building this place isn't it?"

"you knew about this?" she asked lo'ak and he nodded, "yep. now about that kiss.."

she rolled her eyes but complied, closing the distance between her and lo'ak. she wrapped her hands behind his neck and pulled his head down to hers, meeting their lips together. the kiss was gentle at first, then lo'ak nipped her bottom lip as he began to get carried away.

moving back he smirked at her, watching the way her lips swelled from the kiss. his eyes grew dark as this thoughts went down a rabbit hole, which talia had to bring him out of it by pulling on his hand.

"i can't believe you did all this," talia held lo'ak's hand but was talking to neteyam, who held a prideful grin.

"i told you i would do anything to see you happy, more now than ever." he glanced to her holding the same happy expression.

talia felt herself fall in love all over again from his statement, hearing his words of affection sent butterflies in her stomach. she appreciated his gesture of admiration, building the treehouse was beyond thoughtful.

the trio stayed out in the treehouse for awhile longer, but eventually headed back to the village to prepare for the uniltaron.

the brothers took her to the hut that was used for these occasions, one in the middle of the village. once she was ready, they would then bring her to mo'at.

"sit." neteyam instructed the girl and she complied, sitting on her knees in the middle of the floor. the younger brother disappeared behind a curtain for a few moments before returning with a big bowl of white paint.

lo'ak smirked, "ready for my hands to be all over you?"

neteyam scoffed, "you sound like a creep, bro."

talia merely shook her head while laughing at them, waiting for the two brothers to begin. and they did, kneeling before her as well. neteyam was the first to dip his fingers in the paint and place them to her shoulder, dragging his finger pads along her skin and down her arm. lo'ak went next, doing the same to her other arm.
