Ty Laang is too adorable for words and needs recognition. Sooo every thought and idea I get, I'm gonna post it here! Hope you guys like :] Some will be longer than others when it comes to length; some short and sweet and others long and aangsty. Ya just never know!
It normally takes her forever to braid her hair.
But right now, sitting in a comfy perch while Aang's behind her, it isn't so bad.
A soft smile spreads across her face, and she keeps her head tilted down. She doesn't see the smile adorned on his face as he continues to thread his fingers through her hair over and over again in the same pattern.
"What are you doing?" she asked when he suddenly stopped.
"I'll be right back. I got an idea!" he told her, and then he got up and flew off with his staff.
When he said he'd be right back, he wasn't kidding.
He wasn't even gone a minute.
Aang sat back down, this time with a handful of flowers. As he continued with the braid, he began adding flowers artfully, positioning them where they needed to go; the sizes ranged from big to medium to small and everything in between, pink and white sprinkled in her chestnut brown hair. Ty Lee spotted the flowers lying next to his knee and smiled wider. He was closer this time. She could feel his warm breath on the back of her neck.
Definitely not distracting. Nope.
Aang liked the feel of Ty Lee's hair. Loved it. Loved the way how silky each strand felt as it danced through his fingertips. She's going to love it.
"Aang?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you secretly a florist?"
Aang laughed. "Wouldn't be the first time somebody asked me that. I don't see why I can't be both."
"An Avatar and a florist! Hm...is there anything you can't do?"
"Well-"
Ty Lee giggled. "You know what I mean!"
Reaching the end of her braid, Aang ran his thumb over the tail, feeling disappointed now. He didn't have an excuse to be close to her anymore. Forcing a bright smile, he bent water and swung his arm around her so she could see her reflection. "Check it out!"
Ty Lee gasped, hands flying to cup each side of her head. "Agni, this is so pretty!" She turned her face this way and that.
"So are you." It's blurted out before he can stop himself.
She, however, wasn't offended. In fact, she faintly blushed and smiled even wider.
"Thanks, cutie." She leaned in and kissed his cheek, hopping to her feet. "I'm gonna go find Katara!"
Aang watched her flip away, cheeks warm and his stomach full of butterflies. "O-Okay."
