Work Text:
Ao'nung never thought Neteyam would get a piercing, let alone that kind of piercing. So when the Sully boy came into the studio that he was working at as a piercer, specially asking his co workers if he was there, Ao'nung thought he was dreaming.
He was just finishing up a single earing on a girl's ear when his co worker from behind the cashier counter called out his name. He quickly finished up his work with the girl, getting up from his own place and walking towards where Neteyam was nervously waiting. "Teyam! What a pleasant surprise seeing you here" He greeted him, his tone teasing as always. Usually Neteyam was always used to it, not minding that Ao'nung always tried to get under his skin.
But this time, he glanced at him, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. "Hey.." The eyes of the shorter man glanced down onto the floor, then moved back up to meet Ao'nung's. "..I have a favor to ask, I will pay ofcourse" He said, rather silent. He was acting odd, not like the confident and calm man that Ao'nung knew of him. "I can see you are troubled" Ao'nung said the obvious, crossing his arms and leaning on the counter next to them.
Neteyam glanced at him again under his eye lashes, then shook his head looked away. "Eywa this is utterly embarrassing!" And there was the real Teyam, Ao'nung thought, watching him closely. Neteyam looked insecure, but Ao'nung could see the hue of the boy he knew all these years.
Their relationship had gotten better ever since they were in high school. With the engagement of Lo'ak and Tsireya their families had grown closer and Ao'nung couldn't remember how many times he and Neteyam ended up in one of their rooms, spending time together instead of the chaos of their families down stairs. But they could never call each other best friends, because for some reason, there was a barrier between them that always kept some distance.
Ao'nung knew Neteyam, and Neteyam knew Ao'nung. But under their friendship lay an awkwardness left from the times they hated each other.
But with Neteyam standing right infront of him, looking so small was starting to worry Ao'nung. The reef Na'vi looked around the studio, watching one of his co workers tattooing a client's arm while one another was working on piercing a man's eyebrow.
Honestly the reason Ao'nung was going here was because the pay was higher than an average university student's pay. It was really fun and helpful aside his studies. And over the time he had mastered the skills of piercing literally everything. Everything.
And Neteyam knew that. Even though he never visited, they did go to the same university and both of them spent time together during their free periods, and sometimes Ao'nung liked to talk about his silly job.
"Neteyam, is everything okay..?" Ao'nung asked, placing a gentle hold on his arm. "What favor-" He lowered his voice, glancing at the door of the place. "Was someone bothering you?" Neteyam quickly shook his head, a little chuckle leaving him despite his nervous state. "No Ao'nung, it's not like that, I was just..I want to get a piercing." He spat out quickly, looking at the reef boy.
Ao'nung's eyes caught onto Neteyam's tail, swishing, almost looking naughty behind his back. "A piercing?" He repeated, eyes slightly wide. "I mean I know you are a goody shoes Sully, but a fuss really isn't needed" Ao'nung chuckled, ears flicking. "You are twenty, you can get a piercing without the worry of disappointing your father, he wouldn't mind it I am telling you" Ao'nung had an easy smile on his face, patting Neteyam's shoulder in reassurance. "I can arrange something for you quickly"
"No Ao'nung.." Neteyam said, voice so soft that Ao'nung felt dizzy for a second. "It is not that it is just.." The forest Na'vi looked down again, then shuffled around to pull his phone out of his jacket's pocket. He quickly typed in something, the little clicks raising Ao'nung's attention. Neteyam held his phone up then, showing the screen to Ao'nung for a second.
"What?!" Ao'nung shrieked, staring at the phone with a gaping jaw. "Neteyam, oh my Eywa! Put that away, okay I got it-" He said in disbelief, holding a hand over his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose. Neteyam watched him, biting his lips again in worry. "I get it if you can't..I just had no idea who else i could ask..or have the courage to even go to a different studio..this is so embarrassing." The hopeless guy said, sighing and putting his phone back into his pocket.
When Ao'nung finally dropped his hand down, his face was as red as a tomato. His usually cool teal skin was so pink and feverish, that Neteyam feared he broke him. "Nung.." He called out again, waiting for him to say something. "Should I go..?"
Ao'nung's piercing eyes caught onto his. "No, don't go i just..needed a moment to get my thoughts together" The taller one said, cheeks still tinted, then barked out a laugh. "Fuck..Neteyam, I never would guess you out of everyone to want something like this.. a fourchette?! "
Neteyam gasped sharply, hands coming up to cover Ao'nung's mouth. "Shush! Don't say it out loud like that!" They stared at each other for a while, not moving. The forest Na'vi could feel his friend smirking behind his hands. Neteyam slowly lowered them, looking at him puzzled. "So..?"
"..so you want me to be the one who pierces you?" Ao'nung asked, carefully this time. The other boy only responded with a small nod. "I don't think I can be brave enough otherwise..should I make an appointment?" He asked soflty, fidgeting with his own hands. Ao'nung huffed in amusement before shaking his head no. "I think we are pretty free today, yeah? Are you ready?"
Neteyam averted his eyes, thinking for a moment. "I am nervous now" He groaned, hitting Ao'nung's arm slightly. He was still scared of getting a piercing, let alone..down there. Ao'nung gave him an amused look, rubbing the spot on where his arm got hit. "I won't force you" He said, but the look Neteyam was giving him stopped him. "If I go now..I will never be able to get myself to come back.."
"Mm.." Ao'nung hummed, smiling at him. "Well.., do you already know that you can get one? The piercing you choose is not for everyone anatomically" He explained, which Neteyam faltered a little. "Is it not?"
"Yup" Ao'nung nodded, tilting his head. "I will check you then, and if you are suitable for it I will let you fill out some forms and sign a waiver, okay?" The navy blue nodded, feeling more okay with it now that he didn't need to jump straight to action. "You know..it's so unlike you to not do research on this" Ao'nung teased, but the other young man blushed harder. "Well..i was shy to look more into it!"
The teal Na'vi gave him a knowing smile. "Let me get my stuff then" He said, already pushing off of the counter and walking towards where his supplies were. He grabbed whatever he needed, piercing tools and sterile wipes.
After that he gestured Neteyam to follow, which the latter hesitated. "Where to?" He asked, meeting Ao'nung's gaze. "To a private room. Unless you want to spread your legs here for the whole street to see?" Neteyam almost shrieked at his words and jumped over to where he was to smack his head. "Keep quiet!"
The teal man rolled his eyes but nodded, rubbing his head where he received the not so nice hit. "Follow me now" Ao'nung led him through the open space into the back, where a couple of office rooms were at. Usually noone accomplied the rooms, unless they needed privacy. Just like how Neteyam did, as Ao'nung guessed.
Ao'nung pulled out a chair from under the table and put it aside for Neteyam to sit, while he placed his stuff on the table. The navy blue man watched as his friend lined up the tools he was going to use, on him. The sight was scary, and a small shiver ran down Neteyam's spine. "Hey uh..how long would this take.." He asked Ao'nung, seeing the way he glanced at him. "Well not too long, as long as you don't keep flinching away from my touch" The teal man was well aware of his job. He spent most the time putting up with the scared state of his clients than doing the actual piercing.
But he knew Neteyam personally. The boy was brave, about many, many stuff. But these type of things were too distant for him. He had earrings, a couple of different ones placed on both his ears. But other than that, he kept his body clean from tattoos and piercings. So Ao'nung had no idea what was going on at that moment, but adored Neteyam's bluntness until he realized something. He turned around, leaning on the table. "Tey, you are not being forced into this right?" His voice was worried. Any bickering aside, Neteyam was his friend. A good friend that is and now Ao'nung was worried about the forest Na'vi, because this was too distant for him.
But the worry melted away a couple of seconds later when he saw the determination on Neteyam's face. "No! Ofcourse not, this has been.. on my mind for a while" He explained, then finally moved to sit on the chair prepared for him, only to get a weird look from Ao'nung. "Well..I am relieved" The man said to him. "But I can't work while you still have your pants on" There was Ao'nung's usual, mocking smirk returning to his lips. What Neteyam only wanted to do was to jump and smack it off of his face in that moment.
He stood back up. "Don't look.." He muttered, feeling awkward. Ao'nung scoffed. "You are about to bare your pussy to me Sully- Okay I am not looking!" He dodged the punch flying his way and turned around. The Sully boy quickly pulled his pants down and folded them to put aside. Then his hands stopped at the waistband of his boxers, biting his bottom lip between his teeth. He quickly pushed them down. His member was still safely tucked into its sheath, but his female parts on the other hand.. "Okay Nung..I am ready" He said soflty, flopping down at the chair. The teal man turned around, seeing his friend, bare from the waist down.
He had never thought he would ever see this side of the boy, naked under his eyes. "Fuck Sully. You are gorgeous" He breathed out, sitting across him on a smaller stool to have easy access to what he was supposed to work on. "Stop that.." Neteyam said, shyly looking away as Ao'nung's hands settled on his thighs to push them apart. His blue eyes settled on the delicious fruit between Neteyam's legs, glistening with his own wetness. The teal man took in a sharp breath, reaching for some tissues to dry him. "Excited?" He couldn't help but ask, which Neteyam shook his head no. "I am scared.." He admitted with a soft voice, earning a coo from the other man. "I got you babe"
Ao'nung's fingers reached out to touch his feverish skin, making him inhale deeply. He was feeling sensetive..as he was a virgin. "Nung.." A small moan threatened to leave him as those fingers traced his hole and the skin under it. "Your 'lips' need to be well defined for this" Ao'nung explained with a gentle voice. "Just large enough to leave distance between the edge of the tissue and the piercing, and to do that-" His fingers found the spot, pinching his skin so gently that Neteyam let a small moan slip. "Hey, your anatomy is perfect for this Teyam" The reef Na'vi praised, leaning back.
The forest Na'vi seemed flushed, hugging the pullover he was wearing to his chest. "Is that so..?" He whispered, not trusting his voice. Ao'nung beamed at him, nodding his head. "You are so pretty down here" He didn't touch him yet but reached for the surgical grade scrub and sterile wipes he had grabbed earlier and placed on the table. "If you are ready I will start the process" He looked at his friend for confirmation, which Neteyam gave with a small nod. He was looking too cute with his bottom bare, seemingly giving all his trust to Ao'nung while hiding behind the collar of his pullover.
The teal man handed him a paper and a pen, explaining that it was the paper he had to sign in order to get the piercing be wanted. His ears pinned back when his pussy got wiped down with the burning hygiene wipes, making him whimper ever so softly. Ao'nung gave him a sympathic look, now wearing gloves on his hands as he discarded of the used wipes. The sight and what was happening was..exciting Neteyam without him knowing. But Ao'nung looked at his beauty part again and sighed soflty, reaching for some clean dry tissues. "You need to calm down, you keep leaking" Ao'nung soothed the area with a dry tissue again, drying him. Neteyam glared at him, making him laugh at him softly. "I can't work if it's slippery, love" Neteyam's glare only deepened, hands clutching the side of the chair he was seated on. "Don't call me that, and it's not like I can control it..deal with it"
"Oh I see how it is, this is why you didn't go to any other studio because you knew noone else could put up with this bratty side of yours" A loud, offended gasp left Neteyam at Ao'nung's words. "You did not just-" The feeling of the pen marking where his piercing would be located cut him off. It was right under his pinkish, perfect cunt, and the skin there was much more sensetive than any other. He pressed his lips together and gave Ao'nung a helpless look. "Be gentle..?"
Ao'nung nodded his head, looking at him knowingly. "Don't worry, it's impossible not to feel pain but just trust me it will pass quick" The teal man's voice was soft and Neteyam found himself trying to relax, but he mostly failed. "Uh Ao'ung..can I go to the bathroom one last time.." He asked, nervous. Ao'nung's soft expression left, instead he gave him a disapproving look. "Are you serious?? I just cleaned the area!"
"I am sorry!" Neteyam complained, covering his eyes with his hand. "I am just so nervous-" Ao'nung softened again, more genuinely this time. He reached out and held Neteyam's free hand in his. "I will be gentle, and I will help you through the healing process too, okay?" He asked, caressing his hand. "I need you to be brave as you always are, if you really need to use the restroom go so we don't have a small accident though" He gave him a boyish grin and squeezed his hand. Neteyam looked at him in awe. "Okay..I am okay.."
Ao'nung nodded at him then let his hand go and reached for his tools. Neteyam closes his eyes shut once Ao'nung focused back onto his cunt, it throbbed at the attention which the reef Na'vi tried to ignore, but the sight was breath taking. He tried to keep professional as he started the process.
Ao'nung held the needle receiving tube in position to prepare the tissue for the needle. Neteyam tried not to flinch as the cold metal made contact with his burny skin. But then Ao'nung pulled it away, making Na'vi confused. "What..?" He asked, voice little. "I forgot to let you choose the jewelry." Ao'nung huffed out a laugh.
The forest Na'vi's tail flicked behind him, watching as Ao'nung pulled out a flat box from under the table, from an cabinet. The box had a glass cap, which showed the properly displayed choices of jewelry under it. Neteyam's eyes caught onto one with two small pearls on either sides, while the rest were normal human made sparkly crystal or plain stainless steel. He pointed at the little pearls, looking at Ao'nung. "That one is pretty" He murmured, which Ao'nung looked at him in awe. "It is, is it not?" He teased, opening the box to take it out. He cleaned it with sterile wipes just incase and put it aside for later. When he turned his face side ways on the process of that, Neteyam's eyes caught onto the pearl piercings on Ao'nung's ears.
He felt a sudden rush of heat to his face, which consulted with his cunt squeezing around nothing, which happened just at the same time Ao'nung happened to have turned back to it. "Oh?" He smirked, glancing at Neteyam's face. The navy blue almost slapped him on the face but held back last second and covered his face instead. "Relax your muscles" Ao'nung whispered to him.
A knock on the door caught both their attentions. Neteyam panickly closed his legs shut, leaning on his side to make sure the person wouldn't be able to see a single thing, which made Ao'nung snicker at him. A tall Metkayina guy, another piercer, who was also Ao'nung's friend opened the door and popped his head inside. "Oh, just wanted to see if the room was free, sorry" He said, exchanging head nods with Ao'nung, then glanced at Neteyam. His eyes settled on Ao'nung again. "We are going on coffee break. Wanna come when your job is done?"
Ao'nung kissed his teeth. "Not today, thank you. Gotta take care of this pretty boy" He said, gesturing at the forest Na'vi with his head. "Ao." Neteyam warningly scowled, crossing his arms. The other reef Na'vi chuckled at the two, winking at Neteyam before disappearing out the door. Ao'nung faced him, only to come face to face with a glare. "Stop being such a brat" He said half heartedly, pinching the side of his waist. "Stop messing with me then!" Neteyam complained, leaning back and opening his legs.
Ao'nung swallowed heavily when he came face to face with the beautiful sight again. "Damn Sully.." He breathed out, grabbing his thighs and putting them on the either sides of the chair arms. "Keep them wide babe" Neteyam sighed, rolling his eyes at him. He felt shy still but managed to keep it from showing too much. "Stop commenting on it already"
"Mhm..ready?" Ao'nung said, positioning the tube again. Neteyam's breath caught and he whimpered. Before he could even say anything a cold, sharp pain went and ripped into his hole, then came out from the other marked spot. It was too smooth and quick from Ao'nung's young but already professional hands. Neteyam's heart dropped at the pain, a small but sharp gasp leaving him as Ao'nung inserted the jewelry into the pierced skin without waiting.
"Ao'nung! " Neteyam brokenly moaned out, clearly in pain. It burned his skin but the teal man was already cleaning off the small droplets of blood and pressing something cold and soothing against his freshly pierced area. "Shh..its alright" He cleaned him, making sure there were no risks of infections and finally pulled his hands away. "There we go, fuck..you are breath taking"
A silence overcame the room, Ao'nung's eyes watching the two pearls glistening under Neteyam's hole. The forest Na'vi kept still, afraid to move. His new piercing was throbbing slightly, making him whine with a low tone. Ao'nung finally looked up at him. "Wanna see it?" He asked, already leaning down to grab a mirror. Neteyam moved his thighs a little bit, sore from sitting like this for so long. He cringed when he needed to see his own privates, but the pearls now pierced under his hole..they were beautiful. "Holy.."
"I told you" Ao'nung simply said, patting his thigh. "You can get dressed up now" Neteyam nodded and finally stood up, wincing slightly in the process. His legs were wobbly as he reached for his boxers and pants. "How long would it take to heal?" He asked softly, turning to Ao'nung to see him tidying up his tools. "It usually is between four or six months. Oh! Teyam, no sex until it fully heals" He said, unbothered to the fact that the forest Na'vi was mortified. "I don't sleep around" He panicked, glaring at him.
Ao'nung didn't say much, only laughed at him. "Okay okay, you better tip me well" He threw an arm around the smaller one's shoulders and walked him out the room, careful not to rush him since he knew it was going to be sore walking for him for a while.
------
Life with his new piercing had been tough on the first week. But living in the dorms made it easier to hide it from his family, especially parents. Because no way in hell was he going to let them know what he had done. Or rather what he had gotten done to himself. These past few weeks his piercing healed normally, he didn't need to get it checked up. On their daily hang outs around the campus Ao'nung casually asked about it a couple of times, making sure noone heard them. It still got Neteyam flustered to a point but he slowly got used to it, since Ao'nung kept his professional side while talking about it.
It wasn't that much of a problem for him to keep his hands away from his privates until it healed. Apart from using the bathroom, his libido had alwaya been low. Meaning that he barely touched himself anyway, and when he did, he choose his manhood instead.
It was until one day. He was alone in his dorm room, since his roommate decided to spend the night at a sleepover. The guy was barely out the room at nights, so it was a rare time for Neteyam to have the room to himself. It happened against his will, his hands traveled into his boxers, and downwards to his female parts. He sighed slightly as he got comfortable under his sheets. The room was dark, only light source being the moonlight sizzling into the room from the gaps of the curtains.
A little voice left hum when his fingers started circling his clit, thighs opening wide. He slipped his hand lower, and lower to slip his fingers into his hole, but before he could do that he flinched. "Ah.." He raised up, pressing his fingers against his fourchette, feeling a small, tight bump. It didn't hurt, but rather felt weird. It still left him feeling uneasy, making him pull his hand away and burry himself under his covers. He meant to ask about it to Ao'nung, afraid that the swelling was dangerous, despite it not hurting.
------
No matter what he did, he couldn't build up the courage to go talk to Ao'nung about it. A part of him hoped that the boy would ask about it at some point but he was long past the healing step, so the teal man had stopped asking about it. That led Neteyam to be restless, even kept him up at night. The Sully boy was afraid, fingers always finding the piercing whenever he was alone to check if something was wrong with it. He was trying to find the right time to ask about it, but couldn't do it until another month.
Neytiri was hosting a small get together to celebrate Lo'ak and Tsireya's upcoming wedding, which wasn't due another year, but both families cherished the union. Neteyam sat on the couch with a cup filled with sweet liquor. He was looking at Ao'nung, leg bouncing up and down. The teal man was talking with Ronal, sat on the dinning table together. Soon the woman realized that they were being watched and nudged her son. Ao'nung turned his face to see what was up, eyes softening when he spotted Neteyam.
The reef Na'vi excused himself and reached Neteyam's side within seconds. "Sup Teyam?" He said, flopping down next to him. It wasn't that they haven't seen each other recently, given that they even drove to the Sullys house together earlier.
Neteyam gulped down his drink and put the coffee aside. "I uh..actually I have been meaning to talk.." He said, glancing around to make sure noone was paying attention. He held Ao'nung's arm while the young man gave him a questioning look, allowing him to pull him away from the livingroom. The made their way to Neteyam's old room, skipping up the stairs in the process.
Neteyam shut the door as Ao'nung sat down on the bed. "What is wrong?" He asked, reaching an arm so Neteyam would sit next to him. The Sully boy sighed deeply. "Its..about my piercing..i think it got swollen.." His voice got little and little among the sentence, while understanding shone on Ao'nung's face. "Is that what has been bothering you for the whole week?" The man asked, which Neteyam nodded slightly. "Yes.."
"You poor thing..okay let me take a look and see if somethings wrong. Does it hurt?" He moved to give Neteyam space so the boy could strip waist down. The Sully boy made it quick this time, getting comfortable on his old bed. Ao'nung glanced down, face flushing instantly, which got Neteyam shutting his legs. "I swear to god if you masturbated to the thought of it-"
"I am sorry!" Ao'nung said, smirking a little. "I cant believe you, you pervert!" Neteyam hissed, crossing his arms. "You suck.." Ao'nung shook his head, looking a bit guilty now. "I couldn't help it Sully, you are gorgeous down here"
"Stop it..you have already said that too many times" Neteyam sulked but opened his legs wide again anyway. Ao'nung leaned in inspecting it professionally. "Hmm..There is no swelling?" He said, tilting his head. "You skin isn't irritated" He said softlt. Neteyam pursued his lips. "Is it not..? I swear I feel a bump, it doesn't hurt though.." Ao'nung nodded. "Mind if I check by touch?"
With Neteyam's small nod, Ao'nung's fingers found the pierced skin. "Ah I see now, it is the bump caused by the piercing itself, the metal is what you are feeling, that is normal" Neteyam's face visibly relaxed. "Thank Eywa.." He breathed out, tail swaying softly behind him. Ao'nung's hands didn't leave his skin. "I would never hurt you in this way, I am a professional!" He said, the moment was soft. Both boys glanced at each other, and in the intimate moment Neteyam leaned up, forward towards Ao'nung and caught his lips in a gentle kiss. "Thank you.." He whispered against it as he was pulled back in.
The reef Na'vi returned it with ease, almost like he had been waiting for this for a long time. He kissed back, fingers slowly starting to circle the sensetive clit, but just in that moment the door slammed open causing both of the boys to jump away from each other in fright.
The shatter of glass was heard from the water Lo'ak dropped in the moment of his shock. "What the fuck." The nineteen year old almost yelled. The older Sully boy gasped as he rushed to cover his bare privates under the sheets, pulling his sweatpants and boxers back on in the process. "Lo'ak get out!" He pleaded, looking at his brother sternly. The younger one ignored him, instead fixing his gaze on the reef Na'vi. "Get the fuck away from him" Ao'nung held his hands up and glanced at his friend, who looked frightened still. "Dude calm down!"
Lo'ak looked at him, furious. "Are you serious?! Neteyam, him? Out of everyone you choose fish lips?" He complained, holding onto his braids. "You cannot be serious!"
"Bro, you are literally dating my sister!" Ao'nung glared at him, standing up and going into his face, matching his anger. "You two stop it!" Neteyam said. "You are going to step on the broken glass!" He carefully stood up too, going over to the two boys and pushing them out of the room carefully.
"Everything alright up there?" Jake's voice sounded from downstairs, startling the three boys."We are fine, just an accident!" Neteyam called out. "I will clean it up!"
While Ao'nung watched the two, the older Sully held onto his brother's arm. "Not a word, we will talk later okay?" He said, meeting his gaze. "I don't like him bro.." Lo'ak said, worried, making his older brother sigh. "Lo'ak please.."
"Fine, but we will talk" The younger said, glancing at the two before walking off. Ao'nung and Neteyam were left standing side to side. The reef Na'vi turned to his friend. "So.." He mumbled, scratching his neck. "It healed nicely you know, the piercing"
"Please shut up Ao'nung" Neteyam scowled, walking out the room. "Come and help me grab the stuff to clean this mess" The reef Na'vi followed after him with an amused smile, knowing too well they were going back to what left undone soon enough.
