How You Get The Girl🎧 ༘♡ A Lo'reya spin-off from HYGTB

to his disdain, Ao'nung finds out his beloved, beautiful, and innocent little sister Tsireya has been dating his disgusting, arrogant, teammate but rival Lo'ak. But how did it happen? | A behind-the-scenes thread.

♡ how they met.

Tsireya had always loved jogging early in the morning— it had been difficult not to pick up at least one of Ao'nung's obsessed jock routines growing up. In her first days as a freshman, she quickly mapped out a 30-minute route to follow every morning: from her dorm, she'd go down the serene streets, past the hockey arena, and head toward the cute coffee place her roommate had recommended before going back.

On her official third consecutive morning, however, she realized she wasn't alone. A tall, fairly tanned boy, braids always tied in a low ponytail and eyes so warm and sharp they could cut anyone with a glance, routinely stepped out from the athletes' residence hall just as she ran past the building. He'd adjust the headphones over his head before sprinting past her. Tsireya never had enough time to study his traits thoroughly before he'd start jogging, so she quickly made do with the idea that he'd simply be some attractive dude from the athletes' residence hall she'd see once every day.

One day, however, as she jogged back, she found her morning-attractive guy in the middle of the walkway, standing under a tree, his chin tilted up to the sky as he psst at tree branches. Curious, she stopped right behind him, and following his gaze, she found a cat huddled between the leaves.

"It'll never come down on its own," Tsireya muttered, catching off guard the boy. She had to fight internal demons not to apologize to him in a rush, suddenly flustered because A, his pretty eyes met hers, B, he was hot— like reallyreallyreally hot.

"Care to help me, then?" Even his voice was hot, not hoarse and low like Ao'nung's but sweet-hot.

A nod and they jumped straight to work. The boy locked his fingers together, squatting, and Tsireya carefully placed her foot on them. She held onto his sweat-damped shoulders, and after a mumbled countdown, he pushed her up and she successfully lured the cat into her arms. Once back on the ground, Tsireya dared to nuzzle her nose against its seemingly clean head before letting it go, and when she looked up, the boy was staring at her with a glint in his eyes.

"I know you," he suddenly said, a handsome grin parting his lips. "Tsireya Niìr, am I right?"

"Yes.." She felt her breath hitching. "How do you..?"

"I know your brother," he promptly answered, hands falling on his hips. "I'm on the hockey team. And you know my brother, actually."

Tsireya pursed her lips as her big, green blue eyes danced over his dawn-kissed face. His traits were kinda familiar, she definitely had seen that cute nose somewhere—

"Are you Neteyam's brother?!" She gasped, half content half surprised.

Neteyam Sully was her radio station co-host and the current main topic between her and an infatuated Ao'nung.

"It's me," he beamed. "Lo'ak, nice to meet you." He stretched a hand, politely, and she grabbed it, enjoying its warmth.

"Do you.." oh God, what was she gonna say? "Do you wanna grab breakfast together?"

Her heart throbbed, cheeks reddening in a second, then it ran as Lo'ak's smile widened even more.

"Sure."

In the following days, she couldn't help but bring up their encounter with both brothers.

"I met your brother, you know?" She shyly initiated as soon as Neteyam let another song play, both propping their headphones on the table.

"Yeah?" Neteyam flashed one of his pretty smirks, and Tsireya perfectly understood why Ao'nung was so crazy about him.

She hummed, "He's.. cute."

"Want me to give him your number?"

"What?" She gasped loudly, nervously fidgeting with the wire of the headset. "Would you really..?"

(..) "He's.. cute," she found herself parroting as she told the same thing to Ao'nung and Rotxo.

"Don't you even think about getting close to him, Tsireya," Ao'nung warned, pointing a finger at her while munching his lunch. "He's trouble."

"He seemed nice," she mumbled.

"He is," Rotxo nodded, not tearing his gaze away from his phone.

"He's not," Ao'nung's eyes pierced hers. "Stay away. He's not good for you."

♡ Trouble Lover: how it started.

Half through the second semester, Tsireya found herself madly attracted by Lo'ak, who slowly began to appear everywhere she was and not hide her reciprocated feelings. She knew he liked her, and he knew she liked him, too. Neteyam knew, Rotxo also did, luckily Ao'nung was too focused on trying to sleep with Neteyam to even realize what was going on between his sister and his 'enemy'. So what was keeping them back from being with each other? She didn't know. And she was slowly losing her patience.

"You're so dumb," Tsireya hiccuped to his shoulder.

They had sneaked out from a party to grab a late-night snack (that became an oily hamburger) in the middle of the night, and they were now sitting on the edge of a sidewalk. Tsireya snuggled into Lo'ak's embrace even though the air was too warm to be hugging. But Lo'ak wasn't complaining, and Tsireya was too drunk to realize.

"Bought you the tastiest chicken burger and you call me dumb?" Lo'ak gasped before dipping two potato fries into his sweet curry sauce. "Rude!"

"Yes!" She whined before giving a big bite to her snack. "Cusyouwobkidme."

"What?" He chuckled, going for a bite, too. She let him.

"You.." Tsireya lazily dragged her eyes on him. "Won't. Kiss me."

Silence fell as Lo'ak eyed her under his hooded eyelids. A flame trembled inside those golden eyes, hot and wild. His stare fell on her lips before he could bring it up, back to her doe eyes, just staring right at her like he would always do, freeing thousands of butterflies in her stomach. Before she could know, she was tearing up.

"Am I not pretty enough?"

Lo'ak's eyes widened as if she had just said the dirtiest blasphemy, "Don't you even dare say that!"

She sobbed, taking another bite, sauce staining her lips as she munched. He quickly brought a hand to her cheeks and wiped the sauce away with his thumb, eyes locked.

"First of all, you're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen," he confessed to the night, stroking her cheek. "And you don't need me to tell it to you. You're clever enough to know that, don't you? That you're the prettiest Metkayina princess."

She nodded and he laughed.

"Has Neteyam ever told you how I call you when I talk to him about you?" His eyes sparkled under the streetlight.

Tsireya shook her head, cheeks full of food.

"Mi hermosa," Lo'ak breathed against her ear.

Tsireya could faintly remember her Spanish class in high school and she shyly chuckled at the name, unable to control her blushing.

"Tan hermosa," he kissed her temple, softly nuzzling. "Wanted you to be mine as soon as I saw you cuddling that little kitty, so beautiful."

"I was sweaty," she grumbled.

"I didn't care," Lo'ak whispered. "And I really want to kiss you, always wanted to, I like you so much but I'm afraid I'll ruin everything and ruin our friendship."

"But I don't want to be your friend," Tsireya pouted. "I want you to be my boyfriend. Boy-friend. Boooyyfrieeeend. Novio!"

"Whoa," he breathed, something about his voice trembling with amusement. "We have a long way before I can be your novio, you know?"

"Let's start with a kiss, then," and she leaned closer, the burger almost slipping from her fingers.

But Lo'ak laughed and jerked his head away, "I'll kiss you when you're sober, after asking you, as we're on a pretty date."

"Ow," Tsireya sighed, leaning her head against his chest again. "I like you."

A waterfall of kisses fell on top of her curls before she could slightly bend her neck and Lo'ak's soft lips smooched her cheek until she burst into giggles, telling him to stop.

♡ the aftermath.

Lo'ak always sends flying kisses to Tsireya whenever he scores;

Tsireya is the first ever girl Lo'ak introduced to his parents— Neteyam did half the job for his younger brother since Jake and Neytiri always sit behind him and Tsireya at the arena;

They once argued because Lo'ak thought it was unfair she could wear all his sweatshirts but he had nothing of her, so he 'stole' her hairband;

Tsireya shares her relationship details with Ao'nung even though he pretends he doesn't want to hear them since her boyfriend is Lo'ak;

Tsireya was the one telling Lo'ak Ao'nung has a crush on Neteyam— he almost had a mental breakdown;

They always hang out in Lo'ak's room after games and have cute movie nights or 'skincare sessions'— Lo'ak has more products than Tsireya;

During summer break, they both lied to their families and spent a whole week together in California;

They have one of those apps for couples on their phone in which they send each other silly doodles between classes and errands when they are apart;

Lo'ak's phone screensaver is a picture of baby Tsireya dressed in a Stitch onesie;

They still go on their early morning jogs together and have breakfast in the same coffee place.
