Borra Week, Day 2: Prank


There is never a dull moment in our house. Actually, there hasn't been a dull moment since before we got the house, but I'm pretty sure we managed to annoy everyone on Air Temple Island while we still lived there. Certainly Tenzin had hinted for weeks I might want to look for a house in the city before we actually moved out. As it is, Bolin and I play jokes (often noisy, messy ones) on each other on a daily basis. Part of it began as competition and trying to one-up each other, but things stay this way because of laughter.

There was one time that I carried buckets of water into the bedroom while he was still asleep and built a frozen wall around him, creeping closer and closer to the edges of his body. He curled tighter and tighter into the blankets before he woke up confused, shivering, and completely blown away by what I had done. Another time he'd taken all of my clothing while I was in the bath and buried each piece in a different spot under the stone floor. He did a good job of playing clueless too, and I'd been forced to hunt for them while I was stark naked. Their neighbors still sometimes give us strange looks over the weird noises that come from their house, but we don't care. What matters is that we're always smiling together and we both make each other laugh. With just that, we are completely happy.
