Item: Wedding

Pairing: Kyalin

Prompt by: Guest

Lin stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom on Air Temple Island, looking herself up and down to make sure her dress uniform was perfect. Her pants were pressed to perfection, her coat was buttoned up with the Republic City's police emblem as cufflinks and to top it all off, she wore her sash that was decorated in medals for her service in the force.

"Lin?" The metalbender turned to see her sister standing in the doorway, wearing an emerald green backless dress that barely managed to sweep the floor as she walked. "It's time."

"Okay, let's do this." She followed her sister out of the room to where the ceremony was being held. She watched as Su walked up the isle to join her twin nephews, the ring bearers, and Tenzin, the officiant. She was bought back to reality when an arm looped itself around one of her own.

"I was hoping I got to do this when I was younger, not some eighty five year old woman."

Lin smiled down at her mother. "Better late than never Chief."

"I guess I should offer you some form of advice for a special occasion like today."

"It would seem appropriate."

Toph let out a puff of air, blowing the bangs out of her face. "It's okay to loose a few fights for the one you love. You have spent the last thirty five years doing the same thing day in, day out, so when your wife asks you to do something that you normally wouldn't do, such as going on a holiday every now and then, do it. You'll be better off. Also, it wouldn't hurt spicing up the bedroom every now and then."

"Fantastic advice." Lin leaned down and kissed the top of her mother's head. "Thank you mum, I mean it."

"Alright, enough of this emotional crap, we're keeping people waiting." Soft music played as the two women walked down the isle and kissed on the cheek before taking their places.

A smile graced Lin's lips as she saw Opal make her way down the isle, in a blue dress that mirrored her mother's and made her tanned skin stand out. She was followed by the Avatar, who wore the same, though she didn't look too happy about it.

"What's wrong Avatar? You look like someone's giving you a wedgie."

Korra stood forward to shake Lin's hand in good jest but when they were close, she revealed why she had that uncomfortable look on her face. "That's because I do have a wedgie." And then took her place next to Opal.

Lin was shaken out of her stupor, when her closest family and friends stood as music began to signal the entrance of her other half. A huge grin graced her face as she watched her future wife, in a light blue dress, with white trim, walk down the isle with her mother and older brother on either side of her. They kissed each other on the cheek before taking their spots. "I don't think I've seen you smile so much Lin."

"It's hard not to smile when your future wife looks so beautiful."

Kya blushed at Lin's words, and shot back a smile of her own. "You don't look so bad yourself Chief."

Tenzin cleared his throat and got on with the procession.

The congregate was beginning to fall asleep, as Tenzin entered his thirtieth minute of his speech, to the point that Lin's patience was getting thin. "Airhead, if you don't get to our vows, then I'm going to shove your dad's glider, so far up your a-"

"The couple will now deliver their vows!"

Kya struggled to hold back her laughs as Lin said her vows. "I, Lin, take you, Kya, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." The metalbender turned and took a ring from Wei and slipped it onto Kya's finger.

"I, Kya, take you, Lin, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." The waterbender accepted her ring from Wing and put it on Lin's finger with a smirk.

"I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Kya was first to take control of the situation, dipping Lin to everyone's surprise and kissed her deeply, adding a bit of tongue for good measure. When they righted themselves, Lin had a small frown on her face. "I wanted to do that."

"You need to learn to be faster in this relationship honey."

"Only where it counts, right?"

Kya softly chuckled as she led them down the isle to the after party, where it was now in full swing.

"Can I get you a drink, Mrs Beifong?"

The waterbender looked up at her new wife with a solum smile on her lips. "I would love one, but after our first dance. You can't dance when you're sober, I doubt you're very good drunk."

They took to the dance floor as a soft melody began to play. Lin wrapped her arms around Kya's waist and Kya put her arms around Lin's neck. They swayed to the beat until Lin took control and began to waltz, surprising the waterbender. "I only pretend not to dance so people don't ask me to. My grandmother taught me whenever I went to Gaoling."

"I wish I could thank her."

"Me too. I always thought it was useless. I have one surprise left."

"Oh?"

Lin looked into Kya's bright blue eyes, trying to convey how serious about the situation. "On our first anniversary as a married couple, I'm retiring from the force."

Kya's searched Lin's face for any hint of falseness, to see that what her wife was saying was true. "But you love work."

"I know. But with Mako, Wing and Wei on the force, I think I'll be leaving it in capable hands."

"So it takes three men to do your job huh?"

"Someone needs to lead the metalbending squad and help Mako deal with the stress. I think our nephews can do that."

"Right, our nephews."

The dance came to an end once the two women left the dance floor, leaving Su and Baatar Senior to get everyone to boogie.

The new couple were about to take their seat with the rest of the wedding party, when Kya had a better idea and began pulling Lin towards the bedroom she got ready in.

"So Toph, we're officially family, huh."

"Sure are Granny Goodness."

"Yay, a new nickname."

"It's been over thirty years since we've been together, Sugar Queen doesn't suit you anymore. But on behalf of the Beifong's, welcome to the family."

"Thank you." Katara looked around, hoping to see the newly weds, but she came up empty. "Are your feet on the ground?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I can't see Lin and Kya."

"Give me a second." Feeling around with her seismic sense, the old earthbender quickly took her feet of the ground with a grumble.

"What is it?"

"The honeymoon started early. I'm leaving it at that.
