Reclaiming
by SMYGO4EVA
Kya wasn't one to back down from anything; not even from bittersweet smiles and the feel of being tied down. She wanted to see the rest of what the world had to offer; she had that chance, and she had seen more than she ever could have dreamed of. Kya never thought Lin would be the one to draw her back in, drawing blood and untold feelings she never imagined before.
She held Lin's rough, calloused hands before; her emotions were secondary. Lin had thought feelings were akin with childlike will, and while nothing about her was childlike anymore, Kya knew that Lin was too bull-headed to be afraid. There were instances, time and time again, when there seemed to be nothing to see in their future. Any future of theirs was like something from a dream. In her eyes, Lin was almost incapable of seeing the bigger picture, but it was then Kya realized that she was wrong.
Without fear, Lin chose to dowse herself in Kya's gift of water, and of herself. Kya would held her close when Lin couldn't stand for another moment, her stubbornness pressing on. Lin would be brusque at the slightest touch, not one to swoon or sigh at Kya's touch. Kya would understand, as she would hold her close, as Lin would lean back, and press her hand upon the other woman's own, never to back down again.
