Prompt by: YOLO1882

Lin and Kya laid in the grass on Air Temple Island, kissing each other every now and then, pointing out the figures they saw in the clouds, talking about their plans for the future. It was peaceful, relaxing, different from their usually busy and hectic lives.

"Lin?"

"Hmm?"

"I made this for you."

The earthbender rolled over, to see her girlfriend caressing a heart, formed from ice. She took it into her hands, enjoying the coolness it provided. "That's pretty neat. Where did you get the water from?"

"My sweat."

"That's disgusting!" Lin threw it as far as she could, over the cliff and into the ocean.

"Hey! I sweated out a lot of water to make that heart, and you throw it into the sea. You've got a lot of nerve Beifong."

"Oh come on. It's made of sweat."

Kya sat up and threw her hands in the air. "You know what, I'm not talking to you. At least not until you make it up to me with your own element and it better be pretty damn amazing or else," Kya stood up and placed a hand on her hip, "you're not going to be seeing any of this naked any time soon. And no bending!"

The metalbender watched in awe as her girlfriend walked away, hips swaying tantalisingly slow. "Crap."

Toph Beifong, for the first time in weeks, had her first free night and was more than happy to spend it sleeping, but to her annoyance the person in the bedroom next to her didn't have the same plan. Grumbling, she threw the blankets off her tired body and stormed down the hall. Swinging open her daughter's door, she let out a growl and began yelling. "Go to bloody bed!"

Lin jumped a little from the sudden intrusion, not quite understanding what was going on. "But I'm doing something."

"I know, I can feeling the tink, tink, tinking off that hammer and chisel. What are you even doing?"

"Kya's upset at me and told me I have to make her something to get out of the polar bear dog house. So I decided to make her a necklace like uncle Aang made for aunt Katara."

Toph put a hand to her forehead in confusion. "What necklace?"

"The one he gave her when he asked her to be his 'forever girl'." Lin looked at the pendant in her hands and let out a sigh. "I've gotten the hang of using the chisel but I can't decide on a design."

"Spirits, you are so weird. Just put something on it that you and Kya feel you can identify yourselves with."

"That's actually not a bad idea." She picked up the tools and was about to hammer away, when they floated into her mother's hands.

"No more! Bed!"

Lin grumbled but flicked off her lamp and shut her eyes.

Kya was floating on her back on clear blue water, in an unusually calm ocean, when something came from below the surface and wrapped itself around her waist, lifting her into the air. "Spirits! Lin! Put me down!"

"Not until you say you love me!"

"Let me go or I will water smack you in the mouth!"

"Poor choice of words." Lin dropped her girlfriend, watching as the waterbender flailed her hands about until she finally realised that it was shallow enough to actually stand.

She glowered at her girlfriend before walking towards the shore. "I hate you."

"No you don't."

A small smirk found itself upon her face. "Damnit. I can never stay mad at you. But you better have come here with my present or you're still not getting any."

They took a seat under a tree, not caring that they were dripping wet, as Lin reached into her bag and pulled out blue ribbon with a stone pendant in the middle. "I noticed how much you like your mother's so I thought I'd make you one of your own. And in the words of your father, Kya, will you be my forever girl?"

Kya threw her arms around Lin's neck and pulled her in for a quick pash. "Spirits Lin! I will marry you!"

Shaking herself out of her stupor, Lin pulled back with a confused look. "Marry? I didn't say anything about marriage."

"Lin, this a betrothal necklace. I have to say, you put a lot of detail into it. I love that the badgermole and bison are hugging and how they are surrounded by the Southern Water Tribe insignia."

"But marriage? We're a bit young. I'm barely in my twenties."

"Lin, relax." Kya put the necklace back into the metalbender's hands and gave her a soft smile. "I appreciate the thought but it isn't our time just yet, and I'm sure this isn't how you want to ask me. Give it a few years then pop the question. But it's nice to know where this relationship is going."

Lin wrapped her arms around Kya's shoulders and brought her into her chest, holding her close. "Thank you. I love you."

"I love you too."
