A/N: I'm so horrible, I'm sorry! I haven't uploaded in freaking months… But yeah… I've gotten so many messages to update this, I thought maybe I should probably do that.
Watched the Season Finale when it premiered, and HOLY SHIT. No spoilers, just in case you've been living under a rock, but seriously... WOW. Well done, Bryke. I commend you. Anyway, this fanfic is completely discarding like, everything... But anyway, it's 5 1/2 years later and Makorra is a thing as well as Bosami (Bolin is a good rebound guy ;) ), and JINOOCHY IS A COUPLE NOW. Yay :)
Also, Pro-Bending is a thing once again and the Fire Ferrets are the team that won last season :)
Enjoy!
A newly turned 16-year-old Jinora stared out her bedroom window, waiting for Skoochy to pick her up. They were going to a Pro-Bending banquet with the rest of the current residents of the Air Temple Island; Skoochy had finally joined a team! The airbender smiled fondly, thinking of the day two months ago when he found out he would be on a team the next season...
"Jinora!" a warm, friendly voice rang out behind her, sounding as if the pro-bending championships had come early. The airbender turned around, smiling, to face her best friend Skoochy. He immediately picked her up and spun her around, laughing and beaming all the while. When he finally set her down, she staggered a bit, dazed, before shaking her head and grinning quizzically at the shaggy-haired earthbender.
"Want to explain that?" she prompted, folding her arms and smirking at his childlike behavior. He was bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, gripping his hands together with a toothy, ear-to-ear grin. He chuckled at her face and then jumped up a little, almost too excited for words.
"I GOT IN!" he suddenly burst out. "I'm gonna be on the Capital City Catgators as their new earthbender!" Jinora's mouth dropped open before she started jumping with her friend.
"That's WONDERFUL, Skoochy!" Jinora squealed, airbending herself up to the male's height and hugging him tightly around the neck. "Congratulations!" They pulled apart, and she slowly let herself down from the height addition.
They stood there for a good few minutes, gazing into each other's eyes, unconscious of a smaller airbender creeping up on them. Skoochy leaned in closer, and Jinora inched upwards… After all the dancing around each other's feelings… Finally…
"Hey, what's up guys?"
Giggling at how frustrated she'd been with Meelo that morning, Jinora continued daydreaming. She and Skoochy had been alone again the next day, and he'd finally kissed her.
It had been wonderful.
"Hey, dollface. You comin'?" Speaking of wonderful… The airbender turned around, skirt swishing, to greet her boyfriend on his Satocycle.
"Of course, Skoochy. Though I still don't know why you insist on calling me "dollface." I thought I taught you how to be more gentlemanly years ago." She winked at him as she mounted the small motor vehicle, and he smirked, planting a kiss on her temple.
"I think I have the right to call you dollface, Jin. I am your boyfriend." He smiled genuinely at her now, and she blushed, nudging him to get him to turn around.
"Come on," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist so she wouldn't fall off. "We have to go, or we'll be late."
"Miss Jinora, Mr. Skoochy! Welcome to the Annual Pro-bending Banquet. Please find your seats at the designated table, or feel free to head straight to the dance floor; the band will be playing all night." Jinora readied herself for the pleading look that would be on her boyfriend's face when she turned to him, and sure enough…
"Pleeeeaaaaasseee, Jin! Dancing! We haven't been dancing for ages!"
"Yeah, that's because we can't dance. And you know it. Remember what happened last time Asami tried teaching us? Meelo didn't talk to us for a week." She caught Skoochy's arm, dragging him over to a white-clothed table.
"Yeah, well, this is slow dancing. Totally different. There's no high kicks or anything in this one." Rolling her eyes, the airbender allowed herself to be persuaded onto the dance floor, muttering that this was the only time they were doing this, you turtle-duck-faced earthbender.
As the couple made their way to the middle of the floor, Bolin and Asami swirled past them, close looks being exchanged between them. Jinora smiled slightly, glancing around and spotting Mako and Korra being rather adorable as well. Love was really in the air today, she thought, tucking her head into the crook of Skoochy's neck. And she adored it.
"Jinora?" Skoochy interrupted her thoughts, his voice sounding slightly nervous. Looking up, confused, the airbender cocked an eyebrow.
"I… I've been thinking…" the Republic City native started, removing one of his strong hands from around her waist to run through his shaggy hair. "I mean, we've known each other since we were kids, and I know we've only actually, technically been dating for a few months, but I asked your dad and Mako and Bolin said it was a good idea and I've been thinking about it ever since I met you really, and I-"
"Skoochy!" Jinora placed her slim hand over Skoochy's rambling mouth.
"Grmmph?"
"Please get to the point, love."
"Oh. Right."
Jinora smiled at her boyfriend kindly, stroking the side of his face before inviting him to continue talking.
"Well. Uh," the hazel-eyed young man stuttered, "I… You… Oh, to hell with it." Bending down on one knee, Skoochy grabbed his girlfriend's left hand and took a small yet beautiful diamond ring out of his jacket pocket. "Jinora, will you marry me?"
Mouth opening wide in shock, the young airbender's eyes widened. Gazing at the sincerity and love in his beautiful eyes, Jinora felt joyful tears slip down her cheeks as she pulled Skoochy up from the ground and kissed him, hard.
"Of course I'll marry you, you stupid, stupid earthbender. I love you!"
Laughing gleefully, the young Pro-Bending player slid the ring onto his now-fiancé's left finger. Lifting her up and swinging her around happily, he finally noticed all the clapping around him. Blushing, Jinora glanced at the approving looks all around them.
Love was certainly in the air, she thought, brushing her painted lips against Skoochy's. Certainly.
A/N: I do have one thing to say before someone yells at me- Legend of Korra is pretty much based on a sort of Industrial Revolution in a time around the 1920's, and at that time people married at the age of 15-18, so…. Don't judge please. And I needed a way to end this story because I had literally no idea what to do. So… yeah. Writers block sucks ass.
But ignoring my crappy ending to an unplanned story, I do have a multichapter AlbusSeverus/Scorpius fic in the works (if you like next gen Harry Potter) and a Clintasha songfic I'm working on (for the Avengers fans I know). If you like either of those fandoms, you can follow me and expect a post within the week on the songfic front. The multichap may take longer…
Anyway. Reviews are love! I need some. *hearts*
