After saying goodbye, Lin rushed out the door of the teashop, and headed straight to Air Temple Island. Her heart fluttered faster with each step she took. Lin could not wait to see Tenzin after so long.
…
After watching Pema leave, Tenzin's heart began to flutter. He rushed out of his home and headed towards the pier with his glider so he could be reunited with his soul mate after such a long time apart.
…
Lin was in such a rush. She felt like a lovesick teenager again. She was so focused on meeting Tenzin she completely forgot how late it was and that the ferry to Temple Island didn't run anymore. When she reached the pier she stopped. Her mother never allowed her to bend an earth bridge to the island because it may destroy the city's foundations and sewers. She was lost for ideas. She simply stood at the edge of the water and stared at the island. The moon shone bright in the sky over the bay. Lin looked up at the giant natural satellite and noticed a tiny speck in the sky that seemed to be moving toward her. A knowing smile spread across her face. All hope was not lost.
…
When Tenzin reached the end of the pier on the island he threw is glider into the air and gracefully leapt and attached himself to it. He was so thrilled that his burden had been lifted that he soared high in the indigo sky, light as a feather. He looked down and saw Lin waiting for him on the edge of Republic City. He quickly turned around and started to dive right at her. He felt so carefree and was going so fast that when he was close enough he closed his glider and smashed right into Lin, catching her off guard. He laid his glider on the ground and pinned her down. Before either one could say a word their lips crashed together in a highly anticipated moment of bliss. The lovers remained intertwined on the dirty street of Republic City, lavishing one another in strongly missed kisses and embraces.
The two parted, their gazes interlocking. Smiles grew on both their faces.
"Lin…" Tenzin began, "I don't ever want to lose you again."
"You never will," she whispered. Then Tenzin lightly punched her arm.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, "That's my thing!"
"I know," he smiled, "but you deserve it."
"Fair enough," she agreed.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"I know this is kind of sudden, but…"
"Yes," she breathed without hesitation.
"Really?" he asked, his eyes shining as bright as the moon.
"Yes," she repeated definitely.
"You've just made me the happiest airbender in the world."
She smiled up at her fiancé and he returned the warmth tenfold. They kissed passionately one last time before standing up. Tenzin opened his glider, grabbed Lin, and took off for Air Temple Island. The deep indigo of the sky was slowly fading; shades of yellow and orange were peeking on the horizon. The moon's light was dwindling as it sank deeper in the sky, almost disappearing completely. The lovers flew to the Meditation Pavilion, where they remained watching the sunrise, not caring that it would be another sleepless night.
A/N: This is it. For this fic. You guys can imagine your own future for this piece. I hope you liked it. I hope the ending was good enough. I had a really hard time writing it because I didn't want it to be too cliché, but I wanted closure and just ugh. I'm kinda at a loss for words. Please stay tuned for the fics that were supposed to be for Linzin week! I promise I'm trying to write! Thank you for reading!
