Item: Diary
Pairing: Kyalin
Prompt by: guest
Kya was extremely board, to the point that she decided to clean hers and Lin's apartment. Something the once upon a time hippy, would never do. But it was a public holiday so the stores were closed and it was raining so the streets were empty.
She was currently in Lin's study, dusting the high filing cabinet causing something heavy to fall off the top and onto the floor. "Oh crap, please don't be something fragile." She looked down hesitantly at the item and let out a sigh of relief. "Just a book. Hold on, a diary!"
The waterbender picked up the book and frowned when she discovered it to be locked. "Damn you Lin and your paranoid mind… then again, in this case it seems to prove true." She gathered some water out of the air and formed a pick to unlock the diary manually. "They don't call them ice picks for nothing." The lock popped open with a click. "Okay Lin, what are you hid- what's this?"
First day on the job. Rescued a man called Lee on Jong Jong road from an out of control truck.
Day five. Three year old called Mai lost her parents in a fire. She was inside but I managed to get her out. She cried on my shoulder and wouldn't let me go until I reunited her with her grandmother.
Day thirty. Scar on left rib caused while I was off duty. At least that five year old is happy to have her pet tiger bear back.
"What is this?"
"Reasons why I still wear the badge."
The waterbender jumped in surprise, causing the diary to fall from her grip onto the floor. "Spirits! Lin, what are you doing home?"
"It's a slow day. Decided to leave early for once. What are you doing reading my diary, my usually locked diary?"
Kya looked away and rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "Curiosity got the better of me, sorry. Though I was hoping it was your diary from when we were teenagers."
Lin took a few steps forward to pick up her diary and came to stand in front of her girlfriend. "That one is in my desk."
"Damn. So why do you have all that written in there?"
Lin took a seat in her desk chair and Kya quickly followed suit, taking a seat on Lin's lap, something they did on occasion. "When I've had a bad day I read it to remind me of the people who may not be here without me. They're the reason I do my job. When I've had criminals spit on me, try to assault me or extreme incompetence from my officers, I come in here and read a couple of random pages."
"That's very sweet, but if you ever have a bad day, you can always vent to me."
Lin smiled up at her girlfriend, and then gave her a soft kiss that lasted a few seconds. "I know. Thank you." They sat in a quiet embrace, enjoying the warmth each one provided, when Lin caught Kya staring at her desk drawer. "You want to read my love diary, don't you?"
"I want to know what you thought of me before you got up the nerve to ask me."
"I found you annoying and clingy."
Kya glared and slapped Lin's are playfully, causing her glare to turn into a smile.
