A/N: Okay so I decided to continue because there were some people who actually wanted me to write more! Thank you everyone for all the reviews they really made my day J I had an idea in my head on how I wanted this to go but I'm not sure how well it really worked but I hope you enjoy!

Kai's heart was about to beat out of his chest as he and Jinora walked toward her father's room. They were about to tell him that they were now dating as of about five minutes ago, which made the situation even more nerve-wracking. He knew in the end it would be worth it if he could get Tenzin's blessing to date Jinora. They continued down the hallway still hand in hand and Jinora could feel the nervousness coming off of him. She squeezed his hand and smiled up at him to try to calm him, though she was pretty nervous herself.

"It'll be okay," she assured.

She really wasn't sure herself how her father would react to her being with Kai, and she had to admit she was worried he'd freak out and try to keep them apart, but she had to stay positive. He smiled back at her and took a deep breath to try to ease some of the nerves. They neared the end of the hall and came up upon Tenzin's 'office' of sorts where he spent most of his time these days. They turned toward each other, having a silent debate on who was going to knock, which Kai lost, making Jinora smile a little in satisfaction. Kai then turned towards the door, knocking twice before hearing Tenzin's voice telling them to enter. The young couple decided at the last second to let go of each other's hands before entering. His office was very plain even though it was like his second bedroom, with only a few decorations on the walls and a plain desk with papers scattered all over it, though there was a balcony that had pillows set up for meditation. Tenzin looked up, surprised to see both of them there.

"Hi daddy," Jinora said smiling innocently, making Tenzin raise his eyebrows in suspicion as to what was going on.

"Okay what did you do or what's wrong?" Tenzin asked eyeing the both of them.

"Uh," Kai started, not really knowing what to say.

"We," Jinora tried to add on.

"I kind of… kissed your daughter, and she kissed me back and we're hoping maybe you would somehow be okay with us dating!" Kai rushed out wanting to know the airbender's answer. Tenzin's eyes went wide and his face started turning red with anger, and they knew he was about to explode on them. Before he could though, a medium-sized rock came flying through the balcony window towards Jinora, and Kai being the only one to notice quickly enough jumped in front her to take the blow for her if he had to, trying to airbend the rock away, though he was not quick enough and it hit him in the ribs. He fell to the ground beneath Jinora's feet groaning in pain and she knelt down beside him.

"Why'd you do that you idiot?" Jinora asked in disbelief.

"Better me than you get hurt," he replied. "You'll never have to feel pain if I can help it."

Jinora blushed at his sweet words and pecked his lips, completely oblivious to her father watching the two intently. Tenzin was suddenly having a change of heart after this small incident. He was prepared to separate the two to the best of his ability until Kai saved his daughter. Being reminded of the attack he quickly ran out to the balcony to look for the attacker, but found no one. He couldn't see Korra hiding a few rooms away, feeling awful as she hadn't meant to launch the rock that hard at them, just enough so Kai would protect Jinora like he did, convincing Tenzin that he was worthy of dating his daughter, which had been accomplished, but she still felt bad about hitting him so hard. The avatar crept back towards the office once she thought it was safe to come back and listen some more.

"Well Kai that was very brave of you to jump and protect my daughter from that rock, though I have no idea where it could've come from, there's no one attacking the temple." Tenzin said.

"Thank you sir, though I'd do anything to protect her. I can't stand even the thought of someone hurting her." Kai said looking at Jinora as he did so, who had a small blush lighting her cheeks. He smiled and took her hand, rubbing his thumb across the back of it.

"I know you probably don't like me very much," Kai said turning to Tenzin. "But I can promise you I won't hurt Jinora. I'd hurt myself twice as much if I did because she doesn't deserve it, and I can promise I'll do everything I possibly can to protect her and make her happy, because she makes me happier than I've ever been and I don't want to lose her."

At this point Tenzin was convinced he at least had to give this boy a chance, for his daughter's sake. She was looking at him with pure adoration and love in her eyes at his words and he just couldn't take away that happiness from her.

"I never said I didn't like you Kai, I guess I'm just being a protective old dad, but if you make my daughter happy, well then I'll give you two my blessing to date, though there will be boundaries." Tenzin said looking at them sternly at the end.

The young couple looked ecstatic at the news and turned to each other with the biggest grins on their faces before hugging each other tightly. After a minute, Jinora broke her hug with Kai to hug her father instead.

"Thank you daddy," she said excitedly and Tenzin couldn't keep the smile from his face at his daughter's happiness.

Jinora and Kai left the room a few minutes later after Tenzin had set his 'boundaries' for them, which were mostly about being intimate, making them both blush scarlet even though they both knew neither were anywhere near ready for that. Once they were a few hallways away from Tenzin Kai turned to Jinora and grabbed her face and kissed her happily. He couldn't believe he was now dating this beautiful girl in front of him. He pulled away to look at her face. She was smiling her beautiful smile at him, the one where her entire face lit up and her eyes and nose crinkled in the most adorable way. Her brown eyes were full of happiness and love and he was amazed that she looked at HIM like that. Jinora was so happy she didn't even know what to do with herself. She and Kai had her dad's blessing to date, meaning they wouldn't have to hide and be secretive all the time. She could really kiss him any time she felt like it now and that was such a great feeling to her. She looked into his lovely green eyes and saw nothing but adoration for her, and she couldn't understand why he looked at HER like that though she was glad he did.

"I can really kiss you anytime I want now can't I?" Jinora said voicing her earlier thoughts with a giant grin on her face.

"Yup and I can do the same with you," Kai replied with a grin to match hers.

"Are your ribs feeling okay?" she asked suddenly remembering that he had been hit pretty hard with that rock, almost forgetting about it completely in her excitement.

"Yeah I'm okay though I think I'll be a little sore tomorrow," he said chuckling a little.

"So I can't play doctor and 'nurse you back to health single-handedly," she joked playfully.

"Oh man, I think my ribs are really starting to hurt now. My adrenaline is probably wearing off. I might need you to fix me up," he said playing along with her and leaning on her dramatically. She laughed at him before speaking again.

"Really though thank you for saving me from that boulder," she said more serious this time.

"Anything to protect my girl," he said pecking her lips.

"I like the sound of that," she said blushing.

"Me too," he said kissing her once more.
