"You'll only find your soulmate on your 20th birthday. After sunset, your wrist will have this burning sensation and your soulmate's name will appear in gold. When you finally meet her.. you'll live happily ever after!" Thats how Kai was taught about soulmates after he asked Bolin why the name 'Opal' was written on his wrist.
"Why?"
"It's just love, Kai"
"But what if I don't like her?"
Bolin laughed as if he seened Mako in a pretty pink dress.
"Impossible! She's your soulmate!"
Kai thought to himself.
"Then I wish my soulmate is Jinora..." He muttered, remembering how she kissed him on the cheek back in Ba Sing Se when he was taken.
Bolin grinned.
"Young love.. "
She was 13 and he was 14 when Kai kissed Jinora. And like a thief he was before.. he stole her first kiss.. but nevertheless it was his first kiss as well.
Kai's eyes widened.
"I-I'm so sorry! I know you're waiting for your soulmate b-bu-"
Jinora silenced Kai with a kiss.
They blushed and smiled as they held each other closely.
"I love you.." Kai confesses when they were both half naked and in the middle of a make out session... not caring about the whole wait for your soulmate thing.
She was 15 and he was 16 and they are both hormonal teenagers.
Jinora hesitates.
"I-I love you too.. but what if I'm not your.."
Kai knows what she's gonna say but he doesn't give a crap right now. He needs her bad.
"I don't care." He mutters while sucking on her right breast.. earning a satisfying moan from his lover.
One thing led to another and the next morning, they found each other naked and their virginity long gone.
They don't regret it though.
Kai was older then Jinora so logically, he will know his soulmate before Jinora will.
They were both scared that..if .. if .. they just thought to make what might be their last day together worth it.
He stood at the balcony in his room and gripped on the railings with only his pants on, proudly showing his airbending tattoos he earned when he was 14.
He was well aware that his lover, Jinora, was behind him in a robe. (With probably nothing underneath it since they just finished five minutes ago.)
"I can't believe it's already gonna end.. it felt like just yesterday when we first met." Jinora says with a choked sob as tears streamed down her pale cheeks.
Kai turns around with solemn eyes and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. He pulls her closer until he felt her nipples against his bare chest. He kissed all her tears away and placed a long passionate kiss on her red lips.
"I will always love you.. no matter what happens."
The sun goes down and the burning starts.
Kai held her in his arms as the letters starts to form on his wrist.
He squeezed his eyes shut and laid his forehead on her forehead so that their nose was brushing to each other.
"It's there." Kai whispered once the burning sensation stopped. Jinora nodded lightly but kept her eyes closed. She clutches on his back and was afraid of letting him go.
Kai was terrified... but he had to know.
He looked up away from her face and brought his left wrist to his line of sight.
The heavyness in his heart lifted and he smiled.
He looked back down at his other half and picked her up bridal style.
Jinora was confused.
"What? ...Kai?"
"We talked about what's going to happen if we aren't soulmates but we didn't talk about what would happen if we are.." He said, grinning from ear to ear and his green eyes Jinora loved so much sparkled.
Her eyes started tearing up again.. but in joy.
She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him with much passion.
Kai placed her in the middle of hi- their bed and pounced on her.
"I'm gonna ravish you all night.." He growled and brought his right hand to untie her robe and his left hand to stroke her face.
Doing that Jinora got a good look of his wrist.
There, in cursive, was her name.
