You were now sitting on a rock right outside the lab and talking with Neteyam, what were you talking about? Being transgender.

How did that even start? Well you were just hanging out with Lo'ak and Spider in the forest when you accidentally fell and hurt yourself, the injury was on your back and left shoulder, that meant that your binder had been ripped. You were a bit sad about it. (you actually sobbed when you realized that your favorite binder had been ripped)

Going back to the camp in the hallelujah mountains, you were immediately dragged by Lo'ak to Mo'at despite you telling him that you can walk your way to the lab and get treated by the doctors inside.

Anyway, when you finally got to the tent Mo'at was at, Lo'ak immediately sat you down, looking around, you found no one but Neteyam, Kiri and Tuk inside, you were relieved as Neytiri really intimidated you and the last thing you wanted was to walk inside the tent to find her there.

You slowly unzipped your binder, thankful that you were wearing a zip up one as the slightest movement you made were really painful. You then placed the ripped binder on your lap as you adjusted your sitting position to a more comfortable one. In all honesty, you didn't care that your chest was bare as you were born on pandora and everyone would walk around with barely any coverage. Plus, you're a trans man, men walk around with nothing so why would it be a problem if you did the same?

You zoned out a bit as Mo'at treated your injury, you were jolting a bit as it stung really bad, it was worse than alcohol being poured on a paper cut. You were praying to Eywa every second for this to end quickly as you didn't like the pain, and you were also scared that Neytiri would arrive at any moment.

As you relaxed a bit, you noticed Neteyam staring at you with a puzzled expression. Maybe he's confused on how you're able to handle all this pain? Yeah, that's probably the reason, you brushed off how he was staring at you for a long time now.

When Mo'at was done treating you, you thanked her and got up to get to the lab while covering your chest with your binder as it got colder from lack of coverage.

Getting back to your room, you got inside the bathroom you placed your bloody binder in the sink, wondering if it's time you throw it away or if you'll be able to fix it. You decided to wash it and let it dry while you go to sleep. You were grieving at the idea of not wearing a binder for a while due to having a bad injury on your back.

In the morning, you woke up and dressed in some basketball shorts and a tank top. After eating something for breakfast you got outside and decided to chill there instead of following Spider and Lo'ak like usual as the last thing you wanted was another injury.

You sat on a rock, not too far from the lab as you tried to think of something to do as you were really bored. While daydreaming, you didn't notice the taller boy walking towards and staring down at you, you only realized it when you felt someone tap your shoulder, looking to your left, you found Neteyam.

"Oh hi..." you blurted out, looking at Neteyam as he sat next to you, you really wondered why he would come to you as he had never done that before. "Hello..." He replied quietly. You decided to ask him why he is here as you felt like he wanted to say something. "So uhh... Need something?.." You asked, waiting for the taller boy to answer you.

Neteyam finally broke the silence as he spoke, "may I ask you something? If it doesn't sound too personal.." He replied. You started to get nervous by that question, what was he going to ask you?

"Are you.... A woman?.." He asked calmly, looking back at you hoping the question isn't as bad as it sounds. "No I'm not, I'm a man..." You answered, glancing back at him, wondering how he got that idea. "What gave you this idea?.." You asked calmly, not mad, just curious.

"Well when you took of your clothes... Suddenly your chest got bigger..." You couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "You mean my binder? Yeah I have a really big chest and I bind to make it smaller..." You replied, smiling at him as you were relieved that he meant nothing with his question.

"Did no one tell you that I'm not a cis guy?.." Neteyam looked confused, "cis? I never heard of that..." Oh right, na'vis don't have as much labels and terms...

"Oh right, you don't use terms like that.." You crossed your legs as your moved your body to face Neteyam who looked at you confused. "So, you know how you're born... Male, right?..." You asked him, now fully prepared to explain to him what being transgender is. Neteyam nodded, waiting for you to continue. "You're born male, and identify as a man, that makes you a cis man..." Neteyam nodded again, his ear standing up as he listened closely.

"But I'm not cis, I'm trans, a trans man.." You straightened your back, shifting your legs and hugging one near your chest. "I was born female, assigned female at birth but I don't identify as a woman..." Neteyam blinked, his tail wagging behind him. "Basically the term or label cis is used for anyone who identifies as the sex they were assigned at birth, transgender is when you don't identify as your sex at birth.." You explained, gesturing with your hands hoping he'll understand.

"So, you were a girl... Then a man?..." Neteyam tilted his head. "Yeah it's like that.." You sighed, leaning your back on a rock before hissing as you forgot about your wound and hurt yourself.

"How did you know that you're a man?.." Neteyam asked innocently, wanting to know when you realized that you were a man, not a woman.

Cracking your knuckles you answered. "It's different for everyone, not everyone has the same way of discovery..." You replied, picking under your nails. "But me personally, I knew that from a young age, I used to get mad at others when they would refer to me as a lady and whenever I'd roleplay with other kids I'd always pick the masculine roles, like the king and such..." You replied, laughing at the memories of you being pissed at anyone who referred to you as a girl.

"So you always knew?" "Yeah, I knew it for a long time before discovering the term trans..."

The conversation then escalated to Neteyam asking you more questions, like how do you deal with being born female? Are you happy about it? What do you do that makes you feel more like a cis guy? And you answered all of his questions with no problem as you knew he was just curious.

Neteyam'w ears shot up when he heard that you mostly dress more masculine and how you put make up on your face to masculinize it. You explained how you like to wear t-shirts and basketball shorts as most teenage dudes dress like this and it helps you feel comfortable in your own body as you were still hesitant about hormone therapy and surgeries.

After a long conversation were you explained to Neteyam what it's like to be trans, you both returned to your homes as you didn't realize how long the conversation was until you both noticed how dark it had gotten.

Laying on your bed, you thought nothing about tomorrow and immediately fell asleep while cuddling the blanket with your feet sticking out.

Another day and you woke up again, the same exact routine of you using the bathroom, dressing up, packing some of your stuff and going outside. It was all going pretty normal, nothing special happening.

Except for one thing, Neteyam was visiting you more than usual, with questions. The first time he came to you he asked about your favorite color and what shade you exactly preferred, he wanted you to choose two shades, the second you answered him he immediately ran back to where he was.

The second time he came to you with gems and crystals, he placed them down on the ground, ranging from the brightest, to the darkest while asking you to pick at least five that had caught your eyes. You picked as he said, he then placed the ones you chose in a separate bag from the one that had them all.

The third time he came and asked you which patterns did you like. Did you like cloudy patterns? Or do you prefer a pattern that resembles the waves of the ocean. Maybe you like flowers? Or simple leaves? Do you like lightning? You gave him an answer on which one you preferred the most to the least you preferred and he gave you a pouty expression. He wanted you to only choose one! So you chose (p/s).

The fourth time Neteyam rushed to you with beads and strings. He had lots of colorful beads and a few strings that ranged from dark to light. From the last few days, you already knew what he was going to ask you to do so you did what you did. You chose a (s/c) string and a few beads (c), (c) and (c).

As you sat outside, you still couldn't help but think about the four days Neteyam came to you with certain stuff and asking you to choose from them. You thought that Neteyam stopped what he was doing as he didn't come this time like he usually does at this hour.

WRONG!

as you thought about, a certain blue boy appeared, with another string. He came to you close, a bit closer than usual. You wondered why he had one long string this time. "Can you lift your arms up for me please?..." Neteyam asked, his voice calm as ever. As you did, he wrapped the string right under your moobs. Wait, is he measuring you???

Neteyam then pulled the string back with your torso size. He was measuring you! Before you can ask he ran away like always. Damn.

Few days after that, it was like Neteyam had gone missing, you couldn't really find him anywhere unless you came close to his family tent, you'd find him with his back turned to the entrance.

Maybe he's feeling a bit down lately? I mean, he's a warrior, he's going to be the olo'eyktan soon and he has to watch over his younger siblings, all three of them. So you can understand if he was feeling down and staying inside for most of his time.

Talking about feeling down, when you were checking on your injury that was on your back and shoulder you started noticing how it had gotten better and how the pain was now gone. You can finally wear a binder again! Woohoo!

And about your favorite binder, you managed to get it fixed! This time you decided to wear it at times you wouldn't move around much so you won't risk it getting ripped again.

Waking up, you decided to stay in bed for a bit longer as you felt tired. Few minutes later and you were fully awake.

You went to the bathroom, brushed your teeth and did your business before exiting. Looking through your wardrobe, you picked a (s/c) binder that not only covered your chest but also tummy.

After wearing your exo pack, you got outside and started walking to the camp to try to find Spider as you were able to do stuff without any pain in your shoulder.

You walked around the camp for minutes before giving up, the camp was huge and you had no more energy to try to find Spider so you sat back on the usual rock you'd sit on.

While picking through your hair, a similar figure came on sight and as you guessed it, Neteyam. This time he seemed happy, you were able to tell as he was wagging his tail.

Sitting next to you, he placed a wrapped cloth on your lap. "I made you a gift.." He said, trying to contain his happiness judging by his tone. When you unwrapped it, you found a chest band! Everything made sense now! You kinda wished you weren't that dense and realized sooner.

Touching the chest band, you payed close attention to the small details, he exactly made as you picked, the (c) beads and gems, the (p/s) weaved into it, and how it was all sewed together perfectly.

You smiled at Neteyam, appreciating the gift he spent most of his time on just for you. "Thank you, I really appreciate it..." You muttered, looking back down to the gift you received.

"You said that you you dress masculine to feel better about yourself.." He said, smiling back at you. You felt really touched by him. The both of you then stayed in awkward silence before you spoke up. "I appreciate your hard work.." You smiled at him again before wearing the chest band, it fits perfectly!

"I'm glad you like it." Neteyam looked happy when you wore his gift. Both of you were really happy, you were both glad that you had each other. You really enjoyed being friends...
