the thief and the airbender

forever

[older!Kainora]

{for Cup of tea hatter}

To say that Kai was nervous was a serious understatement. As his hands dug inside his pocket to find the small box, his fingers were shaking. He had known Jinora for eleven years, but she still hadn't lost that affect on him. Especially considering what he was planning on doing tonight. He had never been so nervous. Not even the night before he got his airbending tattoos.

He knew that tonight was the perfect time for it; a celebration of Meelo getting his tattoos was being held. The party would be fun, and it would be easy to slip away and ask right? Because this was Jinora he was talking about, and she was so sweet and kind, and if he was lucky, he would get to spend the rest of his life with her.

"Kai?" He turned around to see Jinora standing in the doorway of his room, wearing a pale blue dress that matched the colour of her arrows. He was almost overwhelmed by how beautiful she looked. "The party starting's soon, we should probably head down there... Hey, is something wrong? You look nervous."

"No, no, nothing's wrong, but I am a little nervous, actually..." Now was the perfect time. They were alone, no one would come barging in. "Jinora, you know how much I love you, right?"

"Yes," she said slowly, clearing wondering what was going on. He swallowed hard, his hand closing around the box as he brought it out.

"And these years with you have been the happiest time of my entire life. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Jinora, will you marry me?" The three seconds that passed as Jinora took it in were the most agonizing three seconds of Kai's life. But then Jinora smiled, happy tears forming in her eyes and she threw her arms around him.

"Yes!" she cried, pressing her lips to his. "Yes." He slid the ring onto her finger, and then wrapped his arms around her, breaking the kiss but held her tighter, thinking that if he could just stay in this moment forever, he would.

Writing this proposal made me think about how I want mine to happen. Thanks to "How To Train Your Dragon 2" I finally know: by having my partner sing "For the Dancing and the Dreaming" to me. If you haven't already seen the movie, go watch it. The scene where this song is sung is so powerful and beautiful and just... go see the movie if you haven't already.

Anyway, Feathersnow, your request is up next. And, over 50 reviews ALREADY?! Insane, I do not deserve you guys. :3 Love you all so much, and I hope you guys have a fantastic day! :D
