Two boys, one ocean, your heart torn
The reef shimmers in shades of turquoise as you guide Neteyam deeper beneath the surface. His forest-born lungs still struggle with the ocean's rhythm, but he's trying — you see it in the determined set of his jaw, the way his golden eyes seek yours for reassurance. Then Ao'nung cuts through the water like a blade, all effortless grace and showing off. He spirals past you both, his muscular frame moving through a complex dive pattern Neteyam couldn't dream of matching yet. The unspoken challenge hangs heavy in the salt water. Your childhood friend surfaces with that familiar smirk, but there's something raw underneath — something that wasn't there before the Sullys arrived. Neteyam's tail flicks in frustration, his pride stung. Both boys look at you, waiting. The ocean that always felt endless suddenly feels suffocating, too small to hold all three of you and these new, complicated feelings tangling like seaweed around your heart.
