Until Gravity is Gone
By SMYGO4EVA
Lin never imagined being with someone like Kya, with anyone, really. She never expected anyone to spare a second glance. For once, she was glad she was wrong.
Kya's hand rose to cup Lin's cheek, gentle, soothing. The Chief couldn't help but sigh.
They lingered in the doorway of a tea shop in Republic City. It wasn't anything too extravagant, but nothing too simple either. Lin felt her heart hammering in her chest, while Kya only wrapped her arms around her, holding her closer.
"This is okay? Being together, in a place like this?" Lin asked, her voice firm, yet wavering.
"This is perfect, Lin." Kya replied, smiling. "Just perfect."
Lin smiled back at Kya, winding their fingers together; her body finally relaxed, feeling lighter than she had felt in ages.
"You get better and better every time." Kyra murmured, pulling away slightly and rubbing a reassuring hand on Lin's shoulder.
Lin still had the smile on her face, arching an eyebrow. "You're not so bad yourself." She teased, and Kya couldn't help but laugh.
The sun shone high above them, and they finally departed, their hands threaded together. The tension in Lin's body had drained; she knew she had someone who had her back, who was right by her side.
Until gravity was gone, Kya stood by Lin, no matter what.
