Jinora didn't end up skipping training like she wanted to. She was a master, after all, and she couldn't just leave Tenzin to train the others alone. Training went smoothly for the entire day and by night time everybody was exhausted. The new team avatar would be coming back to the temple for a bit tomorrow and everybody needed to be well rested
Jinora had slipped into her pajamas and slid into bed, letting out a long sigh and closing her eyes. She was almost asleep when somebody cleared their throat, causing her eyes to snap open. She sat straight up and got ready to defend herself.
Kai raised his hands and spoke quickly. "Hey, woah. It's just me. Shh. Don't wake the others."
Jinora relaxed. "What are you doing here?"
Kai walked over to her and sat on her bed next to her. "I missed you...I barely got to see you today...I can go if you want me to, though."
She shook her head. "No. Please stay. I missed you too. Sorry my dad's being overprotective."
Kai shrugged. "It's ok. He just doesn't wanna believe that you're growing up."
She sighed. "Well he needs to get it into his head. I'm not a little kid anymore." She leaned into Kai.
Kai wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. "I know. He'll figure it out sooner or later."
She nodded and looked at him.
He pulled away and stood. "Wanna sneak out and go on a secret date? Like a night time picnic or something?"
Jinora tilted her head and slowly stood. "Hmm...I don't know...what if we get caught?"
Kai smiled. "Come on, Jin. You're a master airbender. You won't get caught. And I used to be a great pickpocketer and thief. We'll be fine. I'll go get a few blankets and food. Meet me on the hill with the tree that has those awesome fruits on it, ok?"
Jinora nodded. "Alright."
(If you take a look to your left you'll see a wild linebreak in its natural habitat)
Kai had set up a picnic on the hill. Their was a yellow blanket set out along with a few others folded up next to the blanket. A lantern was lit in the middle of the blanket and two plates were set, both with a simple fruit tart on them with glasses which had lychee juice in them.
Jinora landed and smiled at Kai, blushing a bit. "This is really nice, Kai. Thank you."
He smiled back and sat down on the blanket. "Anything for you, Jin."
Jinora sat next to him and kissed his cheek.
Kai looked her over and pecked her lips. "You look beautiful...you always look beautiful."
Jinora blushed again, tucking her hair behind her ears. She grabbed a glass of lychee juice and sipped at it a bit before setting it aside and looking down. "I'm really sorry about my dad..."
Kai shrugged. "It's ok. His heart is in the right place... I just...wish he'd actually listen to you...to us."
Jinora nodded. "He usually does. Just not with this kind of stuff. He still hasn't really told me much about dating or...sex. He's avoiding it. I know some about it from books."
Kai nodded. "I'm in the same boat, really. I mean it'd be kind of awkward to ask Bolin or Mako about it...and they haven't offered to tell me anything."
Jinora blinked. "Really? I would've thought Bolin would want to teach you all sorts of things. He loves having a younger brother."
Kai shrugged. "Well we don't get to see eachother often. He's on team avatar, ya know? And he's an actor." He picked up his glass of lychee juice and sipped it.
Jinora nodded and cuddled into him. "Yeah."
Kai looked at the food. "Are you not hungry?"
Jinora shook her head. "Not really."
Kai nodded. "Do you wanna stargaze?"
She nodded a bit. "Yeah. I'd like that alot."
Kai moved the candles and set up a pallet, laying down on it and covering up.
Jinora layed next to him and covered up as well, cuddling into him and looking up at the stars.
Kai stared at her, face relaxed and content. "You're perfect, Jin."
Jinora blushed and looked over at him, smiling a bit. "Nobody's perfect, Kai. Not even the avatar. Imperfection itself is pretty beautiful though."
Kai smiled and nodded. "Yeah." He leaned in and kissed her.
She kissed back and relaxed.
Kai sat up a bit and leaned over her while kissing her.
She let out a low hum as he slowly moved himself ontop of the teenaged airbending master. The stars shined brightly in the sky and the cool air brushed against bare skin that night under the tree that bore the glistening pink fruits with a taste sweeter than sugar.
(Here's a line break because I'm a good Christian woman and I refuse to write minors doing the do)
Jinora was awoken by a small bit of light that attacked her eyelids. She opened her eyes groggily and groaned before bolting up and looking at the sun that had barely started to rise. Her face turned bright red as she realized her skin was bare underneath the blanket and she repressed a squeal when she saw Kai was next to her without his clothes as well. Chewing on her lower lip, she shook Kai.
Kai groaned and slowly opened his eyes before sitting up quickly, his face turning the same shade as Jinora's. "Oh my gosh. we...we had-"
"I know...I was there." She grabbed her discarded clothes and looked at him "Can you...uh..."
Kai blinked and his eyes widened as he turned his head away. "Oh yeah sure. Sorry... this is pretty awkward isn't it?"
A humorless chuckle escaped Jinora's mouth as she stood and dressed herself hurriedly. "Understatement of the century."
"It was still...good...right?" He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
She felt her face start heating up again as she finished getting dressed. She dropped down to her knees and hesitantly wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Don't doubt yourself. I have no prior experience but I think it was good. I mean. Awkward. And obviously inexperienced from both sides. But I think it was good for a first time."
He blushed alot and leaned into her touch, smiling a bit. "Good. It was good for me too...we didn't ruin our friendship did we?"
She kissed his cheek and pulled away. "It'd be impossible to ruin our friendship, Kai"
He turned and looked at her before standing up and hurriedly getting dressed. "Good. Let's pack everything up and get to the temple before people start waking up."
A sharp nod from Jinora was given. "Good plan."
