Item: Space Sword
pairing: Linzin
Prompt by: Arkepelago
"Lin, it's been forty years. If they hadn't found it in that time, what makes you think we can?"
"Because they were looking in the wrong spot." Lin continued to lead the way, when her foot caught on a tree branch and she began to fall forward. A hand found itself around her arm and pulled her back. She hit something firm and warm. Looking up, she saw Tenzin's greyish blue eyes staring down into her own. "Umm, thanks."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine."
He let go of her arm after a moment of awkwardness and they continued on their journey. "You know Lin, you still didn't tell me why you want to find it. Sokka spent years looking for his 'space sword' and he gave up on it. Shouldn't we just let it go?"
"Look, if I don't find it, no one gets hurt, if I do he will be extremely happy and it will make his birthday. Besides, are you not enjoying spending time with me?"
"Well I can't say staring at your backside isn't fun, but it's hot and we could be swimming and rubbing lotion on each other."
Lin just smirked and continued walking. They walked for a couple more hours until they came to a small lake that looked extremely inviting. "Alright, compromise. Thirty minute dip and then we start looking again."
Lin started stripping down, paying no mind to Tenzin who was just staring, and then walked slowly into the clear water. "You know, I'm completely naked and you're still clothed."
Tenzin smirked and began to take off his shirt. "Well, when I have a beautiful woman standing in front of me, I can't help but stare." Finally undressed. Tenzin sauntered over to the shore, showing off his body to his girlfriend, when he tripped and fell with a splash. He resurfaced to Lin's sweet laughter and couldn't help but join in.
"You are such a dag Tez."
"You love it. It's pretty shallow, my feet can actually touch the bottom."
"Good." Lin swam over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Much better."
Tenzin put his hands under Lin's legs and secured them around his waist and then settled his hands on her backside. "Now, it's better."
They slowly leaned into each other, meeting in a slow passionate kiss. Tenzin was so caught up in the moment, that he didn't realize he was moving until his foot made contact with something hard. He pulled back from Lin's lips, much to her disappointment. "There is something at the bottom. It's hard."
"You bet it is."
"Not what I meant."
"Oh." Pulling away from Tenzin, Lin flexed her hands to the bottom of the lake until she felt a connection with the object. It surfaced, revealing the black shimmer of a long, sharp blade. "Spirits, we found it."
"And to think, all we had to do was skinny dip."
Lin shot him a smirk and gave him a quick kiss. "Let's not tell Sokka about that."
