Item: Candle
Pairing: Kyalin
Prompt by: TheGreatUniter
Lin stumbled into her house that was eclipsed in darkness. She wouldn't have minded of course if the floor was earth, but thanks to Kya's persistence, they agreed on a home with floorboards, much to the earthbender's annoyance. "Kya?"
"In here."
"I don't know where here is." She attempted to flick on the lights but nothing happened. "Can you bring me a torch?"
"We don't own a torch."
Lin suppressed the urge to groan as she removed her armour. "Well, can you give me a candle?"
Shuffling was heard in the apartment as Kya made her way to help her girlfriend. "Hello Lin. How was work?"
"It was okay." She jabbed an accusing finger at the little candle in Kya's hands. "Is that the only candle we have?"
"Yes it is. The power has been out for an hour, so I have been meditating. Do you want to join me?"
Lin shrugged her shoulders, deciding there was nothing she could do without power. Her beer was probably warm, the radio wouldn't work and she couldn't cook anything. The two women sat down on the floor in the lounge room. Kya placed the candle in between them, allowing them both to focus on the flickering light as they shut off their minds.
Lin took in deep, measured breaths as she starred into the candle. Soon zoning out as her mind became blank. It wasn't until the candle snuffed itself out after thirty minutes that Lin was brought back to her senses. "That was nice. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
Kya gave her a smile, that went unnoticed thanks to the darkness, and moved cautiously to kneel behind Lin and began to kneed her shoulders. "I bet I can make you relax even more."
"I don't doubt you."
"You know, we can do a lot with having no distractions."
The earthbender reclined further into the waterbender's touch as she worked at the knots in her back. "What do you mean?"
"Well, we have five senses right? Smell, taste, touch, sight, sound."
"Mm."
"Well I believe, sight is a huge distraction. People always look at the stars, or the sun setting, they close themselves off to their other senses." Kya leaned into Lin's neck and took a big whiff. "Jasmine with a hint of, vanilla?"
"Wow, that's impressive."
"Also sweat."
"You do realise you just ruined the moment, right?"
"Shhh." Kya bit Lin's shoulder gently, sucking and licking slightly. "Mm, steal and a tad salty." Kya wrapped her arms around Lin's torso and rested against her back. "You feel so warm and your skin is soft."
"So much for the hard exterior I've been told is impenetrable."
Lin let out an oof as Kya forced her to lie down. The waterbender rested her head above the earthbender's chest, and let out a relaxed sigh. "Your heart is strong and steady, just like you." She entwined her fingers with Lin's and squeezed firmly. "Just like us."
"Are we going to go to bed and sleep?"
"I'm comfortable where we are." The two women remained asleep in each other's arms, content with their position.
