Item: Studying
Pairing: Kyalin
Prompt by: DarkArtemisHunter
Lin was relaxing on her apartment's couch, drinking a beer as she listened to some soft jazz, when a loud knock sounded against her apartment door. She let out a sigh before putting her beer down on the coffee table and opening her door, where an out of breath Kya stood before her, carrying three thick text books in her hands. "You need, an apartment, with an elevator."
The metalbender smirked and quickly took the textbooks from her girlfriend before heading into the lounge room. "So what are we studying today?"
Kya stepped around the question, instead choosing to pick up what was left of her girlfriend's beer and drank what was left of it. "They moved the final test to next month. The teacher is sick."
"Wow, a room full of potential doctors and none of you can help her. So does that mean we have some free time to, you know?"
The waterbender picked up her textbook on the cardiovascular system and hit Lin on top of the head with it, before sitting down on the couch to flick through the book. "No. The only reason I'm here is because I have no one to help me at home."
"Oh, so that's why you're here."
Kya looked up at her girlfriend and spit the highlighter lid from her mouth. "Spirits, that's not what I meant. I am so sorry Lin. I'm just a little on edge. There is only a month until my last exam to determine if I become a doctor or not." She reached out and took Lin's hand into her own, pulling her down onto the couch to give her a quick kiss. "I really am glad to see you. Please help me."
Lin let out a sigh and took the textbook into her hand. "Okay, if you are at a scene where a person has sustained a puncture wound to the heart, what is the first thing you do?"
"I check if the membrane is torn. If it is I can begin healing the heart straight away. If the membrane isn't torn, I need to alleviate the pressure build up of blood, by making a small incision and then heal the heart."
"Correct."
The questions kept coming and Kya tried to answer them to the best of her ability, thankful that Lin was there to correct her when she was wrong. She was comfortably lying against the metalbender's warm body, finishing her answer to an extensive question, when she felt a vibration go through her back. She turned around to see her girlfriend fast asleep, with soft snores coming from her mouth. Kya slowly got off of Lin and moved to the study to continue her studying.
She flipped back and forth through her textbooks, refreshing her mind on the knowledge that was freely given to her and learning things she never knew about. "Blue blood? Since when was there blue blood?! I've seen a lot of blood and it was never blue." Seeing a letter opener across from her, Kya picked it up and put it to the skin of her thumb, just as she was about to cut through the flesh, it flew from her hands and into that of her girlfriends.
"This is a clear sign it's too late for either of us to be up."
"Lin, blue blood."
"I heard. Maybe save that question for when your teacher is better, rather than find it out for yourself." Lin put the knife down on the desk and placed her hands on Kya's shoulders. "I'm sure that one of your textbooks tells you about how sleep is important to function. I remember you telling me all these facts about sleep when I was studying for the academy, so unless you want to be a hypocrite, you're coming with me to bed."
"Carry me?"
"Sure." Lin bent down and waited for Kya to wrap her arms around her neck before coming to stand. "You've gotten lighter." The officer stated as she walked to her bedroom.
"It's the stress and my crazy schedule. I sometimes forget to eat."
"I'm going to fix that, starting with making you sleep." Lin laid her down on the bed and crawled in next to her.
The waterbender rolled over and laid her head on her partner's chest, letting out a sigh of content. "Do you think I'll pass?"
"I think you will pass on your effort alone. You've spent the last four years trying your best and your best is good enough. You will make one fine doctor and we will all be proud."
"Making you proud is what matters most to me."
"Then you've passed." Lin kissed the top of Kya's head and then let her eyes close. "Now get some sleep, you need it."
"Thanks Lin. For everything."
