So I seriously just saw these prompts for Linzin Week and I unfortunatley missed most of the days, but here is a fic based on a prompt for Friday which is: Memories! I wrote this in, like, half an hour to make sure it was on time, so my apologies for it not being good. Nevertheless, I hope you like it, Reviews would be spectacular. Btw, there is slight hinting at mature content so... Nothing too serious though. Enjoy!
"Lin, where are we going?" asked Tenzin, as he hurried to catch up with her. "Ten, my mom's gone. We can't leave the island since Yakone is on the loose." "Yeah, so?" he questioned as he wrapped his arm around her. She leaned into him and breathed in his light, fresh scent. "Well, no one is giving us any privacy here so we're going somewhere else," she said. Tenzin got excited. "Where? Is it far?" "Kind of. Just on the edge of the island. Did you bring the glider?" Tenzin twirled it off his back and around his hand in front of them. He grinned at her," Sure did." She laughed. Tenzin always told her he loved the sound of her laugh. He leaned down and captured her lips in a chaste kiss. She purred against him before breaking apart saying," Save it for our destination." He smiled at her and let her lead the way. Though the walk took half an hour, the pair were content to walk in a comfortable silence. The soft, tender glances were caught every once and a while spoke more words than if they had sat and talked for hours. "What are you looking at, Airhead?" Lin asked, teasingly. "Just how beautiful your hair looks in the sun," he said back, sincerely as he grabbed her hand. She didn't do anything special to it today, but her raven hair caught the light of the sun just right, making it look breathtaking in the soft breeze. "Thanks, Ten. I'm liking the new beard," she complimented back, batting her stunning jade eyes at him. He turned red, but grinned anyways before kissing her cheek.
"We're almost there!" exclaimed Lin, suddenly, dragging Tenzin with her as she hurried along the edge of a steep cliff. She stopped and turned towards him. She pointed down the edge of a sheer cliff and said," There's a cave down there. Just above the water line. It even has a small pool in there." Think you can get us down there, Baldy?" she challenged. "Anything for you, my dear," he whispered in her ear, effectively bringing a soft pink tint to her face. He opened his glider and she wrapped her arms around his torso. She quickly took to flying with Tenzin on the glider. It was exhilarating to her that she didn't have anything to save her if she fell. She just had to trust Tenzin. He turned the glider and headed straight for the mouth of the cave. They gracefully alighted and stared in awe at the beautiful cave.
It was about fifty feet deep with a nice, wide entrance. The center of the cave was dipped and contained a decent sized pool of water. Not deep enough to go swimming, but enough to soak their feet in. "Look Lin," said Tenzin, tugging at her sleeve. She turned around and gazed out into the open expanse of water. "It's beautiful," she breathed. It made her feel as if it was truly only her and Tenzin in the world. "Your even more beautiful," he whispered in her ear. He started kissing softly down her neck as she tilted her head back, wanting more. All of a sudden, he started fading. "Don't go, Tenzin," she wailed. But he faded anyway.
Lin woke with a start. It was just a dream? Yes, it was just a dream. A mere remembrance of days gone past that took place when she was seventeen and he was eighteen. They discovered a cave and spent the entire day there, exploring each other's bodies for the first time. It was where he told her he would never love another as much as he loved her. They talked too, about kids and names and their friends but there was many things their actions couldn't put into words. She missed him so much it physically caused her pain. In a fit of anger and desperation she grabbed a pillow and held it over her face as she screamed. Her screams soon turned to sobs that racked her body. That life should be hers, those kids should be hers, and Tenzin should be hers! Her sobs echoed through her empty home. It was just her, no family, no close friends. All she had was a cold uniform. She sucked in a deep breath. Enough. She hiccuped as she grabbed a tissue from her bedside table and wiped her tears. She gave a short mirthless chuckle. If anyone saw the tough Chief of Police dramatically crying like this, I might as well kiss my reputation goodbye. Her thoughts turned serious. I'm a grown woman. I've moved on. I shouldn't be crying over something that happened so long ago. But in her mind, she can't help but wishing for those days long past, when nothing mattered but what time she was going over to Air Temple Island. It was over though. Ever since they broke up, she's been having these longing dreams of what oculd have been. She sniffled as she looked at the clock. It read 5:07. Even though her shift didn't start until 7:00, she couldn't bear to fall back asleep again. She got up, walked through her lonely house, and got ready for a long day of work.
Ya, it's short. Idk if I did that right but OH WELL! Kinda heartbreaking she still has dreams about when they were together. :( My Linzin feels hurt right now.
