A/N: Hot, young Linzin. Do I even need to say that this one is rated M?


Lin had hoped to win this argument, but the future didn't look bright. She was losing, big time.

Toph, blind as she was, could not drive a satomobile, but Lin had decided that she should be able to; it could come in handy one day, after all. And for her own, private, reasons, she would be able to go places with Tenzin without having to fly on Oogi which still made her nauseous, and on top of that, alert most of the city, including their parents. And besides, it was much faster to transport oneself with a satomobile than walk, run or fly between the tall buildings with the cables she had negotiated with her mother to get, when they also caused unnecessary damage, even if minor. Unfortunately, her idea was not appreciated.

"Mother." Lin groaned.

"I said no kid! What part of that sentence do you not understand? It's two letters, N-O!" Toph said, unconvinced and ridiculously unaffected by her daughter's pleading. She was lying on the couch, hair in a mess, dirty clothes wrinkled, feet dusty.

"You don't even have a valid argument for saying that!" Lin bit back hotly, boiling with anger inside. Her mother's unwavering calm pushed her buttons like nothing else.

If her mother refused to let her get a license, she would pull some strings down at headquarters and take care of it herself; she had a leftover favor to pull out of Officer Tji. There was an imminent chance of her mother finding out, but that risk she was willing to take. She would not let anything get between her and Tenzin's special plans, she was too frustrated. She needed to feel his weight on top of her, soon.

"You need to focus on your metalbending, not kill yourself by driving those things!" Toph argued, as if she'd read her daughter's thoughts.

Lin gave up with a loud groan and stomped up the stairs to her room, slamming the door shut behind her with a loud bang. I bet she didn't even wince. Shit. Guess I'll have to do this my way, she thought as her face hit the pillow.


The next day

"Psst!"

Tji looked up from his hunched over-position above his uniform, scanning the room cautiously. Lin had to bite back a sigh; he really wasn't the best officer on the force. Her mother's right hand, the little boy Saikhan's father, would have discovered her immediately.

"Over here!" she whispered, quite loud.

"Lin?" he questioned, still not finding her.

They were in the men's locker room, and she hid in a closet. She'd been there for over an hour, waiting for the other officers to leave the room for their homes or their shifts. Her back ached from the weird position she'd been sitting in.

When it became clear to her that Tji obviously couldn't find her, she pushed the doors open and popped her head out just to be sure no one else was in the room, before the rest of her body followed, stumbling out of the narrow space ungracefully.

The young man jumped in surprise on the bench he was sitting on, and the shoulder piece of his armor he was trying to fix fell to the floor with a scrambling noise.

"Shh!" Lin hushed angrily. She did not need the entire force finding her in this room, particularly, and most certainly not her mother, even if she was supposed to be in City Hall.

"Sorry." He whispered, picking up his uniform. "What are you doing here?"

"You owe me a favor." She explained, walking up to him, cracking her neck on the way. She glanced down at the broken piece of equipment, and took it from his hands, observing it more closely.

"That depends. What do you need?" he asked suspiciously, standing up.

She shrugged and kept her face neutral, trying to convince him that it wasn't a big deal.

"I need you to sneak me into the Satomobile class, I want to get a license."

He tensed and stared at her. Her obvious indifference and casual tone made him feel… uneasy, about it.

"What's the catch?" he asked.

"Don't worry about that." Lin answered, her hand moving over the big buckle and sharp edges of the shoulder piece. When she handed it back to Tji, all dents were gone.

He gaped.

"How- how did you do that? I've tried to fix it for two hours!"

Lin smirked.

"Now you owe me two favors."

His eyes shot up, afraid, and a little angry. He started arguing but Lin interrupted him.

"Let's make a deal, Tji. You do this for me, and I'll consider both favors paid. Doesn't that sound fair to you?" she challenged him.

Though she was cool as ice on the outside, her heart hammered away in nervousness. Please say yes, please say yes!

He pouted and crossed his arms over his chest, keeping quiet while considering her offer.

"Fine." He grumbled finally, not looking up at Lin.

She couldn't stop the small smile spreading on her face.


Two weeks later

Impatient. That's what she was; he always told her. And she could agree to that sometimes, but she was horny and irritated and sweaty and they were alone in the woods with a broken Satomobile and Tenzin was so enticing in the narrow space with his hand on her thigh and she just needed to feel his skin against hers, no matter what.

He'd told her no before her kisses and her hand on his crotch had convinced him that he was equally desperate to feel her too.

Tji had successfully helped Lin get to and from headquarters the previous weeks without alerting Toph, in order to get Lin her license. Two days earlier, Lin had left the building, a paper in hand with a stamp on it, her heart beating in time with the happiness that pulsed in her body. When she'd gotten home, she had telephoned Tenzin and told him the good news. He was stunned that she'd been successful in avoiding her mother.

This morning she had followed Toph to work, who immediately had to rush off to investigate a murder that had happened over the night, leaving Lin able to lend a Satomobile without much difficulty, picking Tenzin up at the ferry, and started to drive towards a small village an hour away from Republic City. Everything had seemed as if it would go smoothly and perfect, until the Satomobile loudly had protested against moving one inch further.

Lin, trying to salvage their trip, or rather, destination, had opened up the hood to the damn thing, only having to jump away from the warm steam rising, falling on her rear in surprise.

Tenzin had started laughing, unable to control himself, and Lin, with cheeks flushing red of irritation and being laughed at, had gotten up, pulled her shirt over her head, waving the vapor away, and dived into the inside of the Satomobile's engine to fix whatever it was that had broken down.

Her attempts however, were useless, as she had no idea as to what was wrong. She could probably fix it with her bending, but since she couldn't find the source… Her mood didn't improve when she took in her surroundings and noticed that they were in the middle of a forest, no Satomobiles nor people or buildings in sight. Tenzin's never ending, calm behavior didn't help her either; it irked her so much she banged a fist against a tree and started cursing to herself quietly, which seemed to amuse Tenzin a lot.

He got up from his position on the ground, and climbed back into the front seat, and a few minutes later, Lin had done the same. There was nothing she could do anyway, their road trip was ruined. Tenzin had told her that someone eventually would come, and placed a hand on her thigh before starting to meditate. Lin had tried to do the same, really, but well, his hand on her leg, distracted her, to say the least.

And now here they were; his warm tongue in her mouth and his whole body pushing her up against the tree behind her forcefully. Her hands trying to get a grip on the robes around his neck, she gasped when he moved away to kiss along her jawline and he chuckled.

"You're always so impatient." He muttered against her cheek, one hand leaving her waist to move down into her pants unexpectedly.

When his entire hand cupped her and his thumb starting to tease her clit, her head fell back against the tree. Her eyes closed and she bit her lower lip hard, trying to swallow the throaty moans that after only a minute of his administrations wanted to escape her. How does he do that?

After a few minutes more, her legs tingled and felt unsteady, her fingers gripping at his collar so tightly her knuckles turned white. She wanted to protest, she had a feeling she knew where this was going, but no words came out and Tenzin eagerly continued with his movements, one finger pushing in inside of her, and she whimpered, her head this time falling forward, resting against his chest. A pressure began building between her thighs and waves of pleasure had her squirming, her knees almost buckling underneath her.

She moaned into his chest as he increased his speed, his thumb still stroking that sensitive spot; and he kissed at her neck, occasionally dragging his teeth along the skin. His left hand moved up from her waist, sneaking in under her shirt and her bindings to massage her breast, teasing a nipple softly. The muscles in her stomach tensed.

The action had her gasp louder and she could feel she was getting close. She was overwhelmed beyond words, she couldn't control herself and nothing existed but him and that indescribable feeling of pure bliss that pounded and spread in her entire body. He'd done this to her before, but this time it was different. She didn't know why and couldn't figure it out at the moment; if she opened her eyes the world was spinning so she kept them closed, trying to hold on to him the best she could.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Tenzin teased, his whisper making his lips touch her ear.

There was only a few seconds later that she reached her peak and a loud scream exploded from deep within her chest; shivers rolled up her spine, her orgasm continuing as Tenzin didn't stop moving.

Everything almost went black for her then and there, and she slumped against the tree, her strength compromised or gone all together. Tenzin quickly rearranged his hands when he noticed and caught her, Lin gripping his forearms and trying to stay on her feet as she caught her breath.

She opened her eyes and looked up at him, pupils dilated, breathing heavily, her cheeks red and sweat making a few strands of hair cling to her skin. She trembled, her legs wobbly.

"What was that for?" she whispered.

He smiled down at her, caressing her cheek affectionately.

"Because I love you." he answered, leaning down to kiss her swollen lips.
