Day Twelve - Making Out
Ikki and Meelo were looking everywhere for their Uncle Bumi and 'Hero Lady' as the boy liked to put it. They had searched the pavilion, the cave at the island beach, they had called the Police Headquarters, and checked the kitchen for them scabbing food. But they could not find their uncle or his best friend anywhere.
"You two look pretty upset! What's the matter?" Bolin asked, on his way to visit Opal.
"Uncle Bumi said he would help us with sword practice, and Hero Lady would come along too, to help him demonstrate." Meelo replied.
"Have you seen them? What were they doing? Was she Metalbending? Are they hurt? Did a sharksquid attack them?" Ikki pummelled Bolin for answers that he didn't have.
"No! I haven't seen them at all!"
"Who are you looking for?" A voice cut in, Su approached with Tenzin and Pema.
"Su, have you seen Bumi or your sister? These two have a-"
"Tea party with the bison and they promised they'd be there." Ikki cut in, they didn't want their parents finding out they were learning 'violent nonsense' as Tenzin put it.
"Oh! I saw them go to his room! They're probably waiting for you right now! Let's go get them, shall we?" Su said, and the whole troupe made their way to Bumi's bedroom.
When they reached it, the door was closed and locked. Tenzin was just about to knock when they heard something that made him freeze: someone knocking against a wall and a giggle.
"Oh, is Miss Beifong ticklish there?" Bumi's voice asked, only just audible through the door. Lin giggled again and then there was silence. Then a yelp.
"Ouch! Bumi! Don't do that! I have a bruise there!"
"Sorry."
More silence. Tenzin looked at the rest of the group: The children were thankfully looking confused, Bolin looked mortified, Pema looked as though she were unsure whether she should be shocked or amused, and Su was clinging to Bolin, having a hard time trying not to laugh out loud or fall over in hysterics.
"Alright! What are they doing in there?" Tenzin asked, horrified.
"M-Making -*scoff* Making Out!" Su said, trying to hold her laughter before moving to the door and feeling for the lock with her Metalbending.
"Is that a good idea? I mean it's Beifong we're talking about." Bolin asked, panicked.
"I can handle my sister, Meelo, Ikki, go get your stuff from your rooms, these two will be out soon." The siblings shared a confused look and walked off, Su then unlocked the door and burst in.
"HA!"
Tenzin, Bolin and Pema gawked at what they saw: Lin was in a cropped shirt and bare feet, hair mussed, and Bumi was shirtless, hair wilder than usual. The two were standing in the middle of the room, looking confused at the sudden intrusion, both were in a fighting stance holding wooden staffs against each other, sparring. The two blinked and turned to face the people at the door.
"You want something, Su?" Lin asked impatiently.
Su pouted. "You guys are no fun, you're so boring, why couldn't you do something exciting, like, have a steamy love affair behind everyone's backs?" With that, the younger sister stomped out of the room, Lin and Bumi just looked confused, while the other three visitors looked visibly relieved.
"What you think we were doing? Making out?" When Bumi didn't receive an answer, he rolled his eyes and took Lin's wrist, pulling her towards the door. "Come on, Linny, we have some students to teach. MEELO! IKKI! Do you want to learn to spar or not? We've been waiting for ages!"
Tenzin was too shocked to realise what Bumi had said until all four of them came in sweaty and out of breath for dinner that night.
In Bumi's room five minutes before.
Bumi pushed Lin against the wall, mouth connected to hers, his hands tickling her sides. She giggled.
"Oh, is Miss Beifong ticklish there?" He asked, Lin giggled again and kissed him back, she yelped as Bumi pressed his hand onto her lower back, she pulled back to pout at him and say,
"Ouch! Bumi! Don't do that! I have a bruise there!"
"Sorry." He said guiltily, kissing her cheek softly as a way of apology. She pushed her hands into his hair and pulled him into another kiss.
"Alright! What are they doing in there?" Tenzin's horrified voice sounded through the door, the couple stopped and looked at each other, eyes wide.
"M-Making - *scoff* Making out!" They heard Su say between hushed giggles. Lin quietly made her way over to the corner, where there were two staffs, she handed one to Bumi, and pulled him into the middle of the room.
"Is that a good idea? I mean it's Beifong we're talking about."
Su said something inaudible before bursting into the room.
Later that night Su cornered Lin.
"Why didn't you tell me about you and Bumi?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Please, if you were waiting on the kids, you would have left the door open. Don't worry, I wont tell anyone. I'm happy for you two."
Before Lin could react, Su pulled her sister into a hug and kissed her cheek before waltzing off to find her daughter. Sometimes that woman was too smart for her own good.
