item: A motorbike
Pairing: Linzin
Prompt by: Araku the Validrava
"Are you sure we are allowed to do this?" Asked Tenzin, looking left and right nervously.
"Yes I'm sure. My mother wants every cop to clock twenty hours on these machines and five hours with a passenger. They have a lot more horse power than the old models." Lin cocked an eyebrow at her boyfriend. "You aren't afraid are you?"
Tenzin looked at her in complete disbelief. "I am not afraid of anything!"
Lin swung her leg over the bike and then threw a bike helmet at Tenzin's chest. "Are you going to get on?" Tenzin huffed before getting on the bike. "You can hold on to me if you want."
"I don't need to-"
Lin revved the bike, instantly feeling Tenzin's arms wrap around her waist. "You were saying?"
"Just drive."
Lin put the bike in to gear and took off out of the police headquarters' station, smiling when she felt Tenzin's arms tighten around her. They drove around Republic City for an hour before Lin took them to a back road. She stopped the bike and put it on its stand. "You can open your eyes now Tenzin and let go of me already."
"I did not have my eyes closed." Tenzin released her as he got off the bike. "So what are we doing here?"
"I thought I could teach you how to ride the bike."
Tenzin began to feel emasculated at the notion he didn't know how to ride a bike. "I know how to ride a motorcycle Lin."
She stepped off to the side with her arms folded across her chest and shot him a smug smile. "Prove it then." He stood next to the left side of the bike. "Other side."
"I know. I was just, uh, appreciating the mechanics." He walked around to the other side and swung his leg over the seat to straddle the bike. He turned the ignition on, only to have it splutter to a stop. He tried three more times and received the same result.
"It's in first gear." Tenzin cussed under his breath, before squeezing the clutch and turning on the ignition. "Tenzin, you don't need to prove yourself. Let me teach you so you don't get hurt."
"I can do this Lin. Please, just stand back." Lin sighed as she took a step back. Tenzin took the bike off its stand and slowly twisted the throttle before slowly releasing the clutch. He expected to take off slowly but the bike took off fast towards a paddock fence. "HELP!"
Lin shook her head in amusement as she lifted the bike off the ground with her metalbending, bringing it back to where it previously stood. "Are you okay?"
"I think I may need a few minutes."
Lin sat on the bike behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist in an effort to comfort him. "It's okay if you don't know how to do something. Asking for help is how we learn without getting hurt"
Tenzin considered this for a moment before turning on the engine again. "Show me."
