A Very Kainora Christmas
a is for arrival & agreement
[20 questions au - the first christmas in their flat]
The school Christmas party had been fun, but Jinora let out a sigh of relief as she turned her key and the door of her flat opened. She couldn't believe it had gone so late. She shook the snow off her coat before hanging it up on the hook next to the door and re-locking it. She turned around, and didn't expect to see her fiance passed out on the couch. Kai let out a little snore, and she smiled fondly at him.
She was pretty sure he would much rather climb into bed with her than stay on the couch, so she gently called out, "Come on sleepyhead, wake up."Kai awoke with a snort. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, and he gave her a sleepy smile. "Awaiting my arrival, were you?" Jinora guessed.
Kai nodded. "Wanted to make sure you got home safely. It's a blizzard out there."
Through the curtains of their window, Jinora could make out the snow still whirling furiously past.
"Well it's Christmas break now, so you get me all to yourself," Jinora promised him, standing behind the couch now. She kissed the top of his head, leaning now. "And it was so cold outside, I don't suppose you could think of a way to warm me up...?" she whispered in his ear.
All sleepiness faded from Kai instantly. He smiled. "I have an idea or two," he said slyly.
She trailed her fingers along the back of his neck. "Let's go try them out then."

Sunlight streamed into their bedroom, the day dawning crisp and bright. Jinora rolled over in bed, her eyes cracking open slightly to look at Kai. "Good morning," Kai mumbled, giving her a sloppy kiss. Jinora chuckled softly.
"It feels good to not have to get out of bed early," she murmured. "No school, no grades."
Kai pulled her closer to him, and she curled into his side, content. "Second that," he said, burying his face in her neck.
Jinora couldn't find any reasons to get out of bed before 10:00 am - not that she looked very hard - and couldn't think of a better way to spend her morning, and she knew Kai agreed too.
