I leaned against the railing of the boat twiddling my thumbs thinking about what to say to Jinora. I had been avoiding her ever since she heard me say I liked her. Hinako planned that out I just knew it.
"So you like Jinora, sorry about kissing you its just that you are cute and I thought you might give me a shot." Asami said as she leaned on the railing next to me.
"Oh hey, yeah I mean when I first met her I could see just how beautiful she was and over the past couple months I see it more and more. I feel so at ease when im next to her. I do have to admit that you stunned me with your beauty though." I turned to face the sea.
Asami turned so her back faced the water and she figeted back and forth for a minute.
"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" I said turning my head to her.
She spun and looked me in the eyes. "YES uh I mean yeah I guess. I know you like Jinora but there isnt anything going on between you right?"
I looked up at the moon. "No there's nothing going on. She only just found out I like her. Why?" I sat down and swung my legs over the edge of the boat and clutched the railing.
"If nothing is set in stone do you think you would like to eat dinner with just me tonight?" She pushed off the railing and walked backwards.
"Yeah sure I didnt have any plans for dinner." I said as I practiced metal-bending on the bracelet Toph made me.
"Great just come by my room in an hour then." She said as she ran off.
"Brother why do you feel the need to toy with people." I thought aloud.
"Well its just a hobby I guess." Hinako said as he peered over the edge from outside the boat. "You cant blame me though the only people I had ever talked to before we got here was you, Wan and the aye-aye spirit. I never even talked to Raava. I like guessing what peoples reactions will be if I say or do something. Whether its positively or negatively I want to be right there to see it." He said as he climbed up and over.
"How did you get down there? And were you spying on me?" I asked leaning to look over.
"My room is right there I cant help it that you chose to sit right above my window. It was just a happy coincidence." He said with a big smile. We sat looking at the sky in silence and after a while I jumped up.
"Oh crap what time is it im supposed to have dinner with Asami." I said running towards the door not seeing Jinora walk up from the other side.
I sprinted to my room to get dressed. I through on a nice shirt and some shorts that were laying on the bed.
"Wait where is her room?" I said as I palmed my forhead. "How could I forget to ask!" I opend my door and there stood Zhu Li holding a piece of paper.
"Asami asked me to give this to you." And with that she walked down the hall. I looked at the paper and unfolded it. (7:45 room #7) I sighed and headed down from my room #17. I knocked on the door and heard Asamis voice from the other side.
"Come in." I opened the door to find her sitting down at a table in the middle of the room. t had flowers in a vase on the center and two plates filled with all different types of food.
"Hey sorry if im later I sat with my brother looking at the moon and lost track of time." I said scratching my head as I sat down.
"Well you're not too late I was hoping you werent going to blow me off actually." She smirked at me.
"No I wouldnt do that, you offer me dinner im in." I said without thinking and could see her visibly sadden. "Not that I came just for the food but because you asked me to." I said attempting to fix what it sounded like.
"Good. Now lets eat." She smiled again.
We ate in silence until we were full and I gathered the dishes and stood.
"Ill take this to the kitchen and get us some dessert." I made my way through the ship and walked into the kitchen where I saw Jinora, Rina and Hinoka. Jinora just looked at meand Rin scoffed then they walked out. I looked back and forth between Hinoka and the door.
"What was that about?" I asked setting the plates down.
"Rina was right. Since we never interacted with any women before we are terrible at reading signs and the mood. Ive learned alot from her." Hinako said rising onto the counter and swinging his legs.
"Read what signs? Come on bro dont leave me blind, deaf and dumb. Explain." I said hopping up next to him.
"Well we all know you like Jinora but havent made any moves and she likes you too but she was waiting for you to act on it first. But you had to eat dinner with Asami who clearly likes you as well even though you just met." Hinako threw his arm over my shoulder.
"And? That doesnt help me really. Is she mad at me?" I said shedding his arm and standing again. "If you know you gotta tell me."
Hinako smiled. "So who do you like? Asami or Jinora?" He cocked his head side to side.
"Well I suppose you could say I like them both." Hinako flinched as I said that. "But it different ways. I do like Jinora but I dont know how to approach the situation and on the other hand Asami made it easy on me and initiated it taking all the pressure off of me."
I sighed heavily and closed my eyes. "In all honesty though I like Jinora more but I dont know what to do about Asami. She is nice and she looks good, almost as beautiful as Jinora. I just dont know what to do." Hinako jumped off and put both hands on my shoulders.
"I think that you three need to have a talk so im going to leave you to it then. Ok Rina lets leave these three to sort this out." HInako spun me to face the door and I opened my eyes to see Rina, Jinora and Asami standing there all with different looks on their faces. Hinako walked over to Rina, grabbed her hand and led her out.
'Fantastic, he set all this up on purpose. Oh im going to kill him.' I was so frustrated you could see it on my face. A cough pulled me back from my thoughts.
"Care to explain?" Jinora said and Asami put her hand forward.
"Uhuh hey there. Uhm." I avoided eye contact. 'Kill me now.'
A/N: hey there people who are sticking with it there is like 4 of you that have been reading every chapter. Thanks for that. Just alittle insight into Hinako and Rina. They both want to learn as much as they can about people, Hinako does it to see how people will react in awkward situations and Rina like to see how people will go about fixing them. The are pranksters and they are a couple now although they have not declared it out loud.
