My super late linzin week.
Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra and any of its character.
Day 1 - Seasons.
Summary: What seasons remind Tenzin of (K).
"Good morning, Daddy!" Ikki ran to hug me and pointed out the window. "Look at the pile of snow! Let's go outside, Jinora."
"No, Ikki. You'll catch a cold again," Pema said, looking up from Rohan.
"But-"
"I've just finished written a poem," Jinora calmly said. "It's called seasons."
Spring season of life
where birds fly and newborns cry
Summer is the hottest
creatures grow strong and earth is prosperous
Fall is colorful
orange and brown,
who dares to call it dull?
Winter when everything dies
Can't help but to wait till it passes by
"I love winter!" Ikki burst out. "It's when candy floss fall from the sky and snows are there fly fly fly." Ikki stretch out her arms. "It rhymes!" Ikki exclaimed happily.
"I like fall," Meelo intruded. "Lots of leaves. Kick! Kick! Kick!" The infant kicked the floor to emphasize.
"Spring is the best time to read. It's warm and quiet," Jinora explained. " What about you, Dad?" she asked.
"Mine is winter," I replied.
"Can't!" Ikki shouted. "Winter's mine!"
"It's okay, Ikki," Jinora calmed her sister down. "Summer's too hot for dad,"
The siblings laughed.
"Hahahaha!" teen Tenzin laughed. His hands were high up in the air and he was dancing happily.
"Brrr... I hate being cold," Lin grumbled. Her hands were wrapped tight around her body.
"Ooh," Tenzin hugged his girlfriend from behind, "winter's too tough for ya?" He teased.
"Of course not!" Lin pushed Tenzin away and wrapped her jacket tighter. "I'll show you what I can do. Just wait til- HACHUU!" She sniffed, "-till I get over my cold."
She could walk all the way to the air temple Island in the snow, barefooted.
She could make me worried sick.
She could sleep for 2 days straight.
"Okay, I might just like winter for this," Lin giggled as they were leaning shoulder to shoulder in front of the fireplace. "No shower for days! Hahaha!"
"Gross!" Tenzin commented.
"Don't act as if you don't," Lin replied, "How many days have it been?"
"Five."
"Dad? Why do you like winter?" Jinora asked.
I snapped out of by muse and almost found myself saying I loved the memories, the snow that looked like confetti.
Love makes you see everything differently, including seasons.
"I like snow, Jinora," I smiled. "I like all seasons. There's no reason to hate any of them, right?"
My kids nodded.
I shifted my gaze to the window. It was snowing.
"Because snow is like a nature's confetti. I somehow always think of that when it's snowing. Don't laugh Baldy, I know it's sappy!"
"Dad? Are you okay?" Jinora asked. "You're hands are shaking."
I hugged my kids. "I'm okay," I told them.
Because snow was a silent witness for a promise I could never fulfill. I had promised to marry her in the winter.
I apologize for being late. I was on a vacation and I couldn't post. I hope it's still okay to do it now =="
Anyway, thank you for reading. The next chap will come tomorrow.
