It was extremely hot in Republic City. So hot that the criminals didn't want to come out to play, which meant that Toph had given her daughter the day off to do whatever she wanted… with whoever she wanted. So Lin decided to spend the day lying on her bed reading a book, in a pair of shorts and tank top, with her electric fan on and a waterbender at her side, who she herself, was enjoying tracing her fingers up her girlfriend's tank, freezing droplets of sweat as she felt the well defined tightness of Lin's stomach.

"You know, I probably wouldn't be sweating much if you weren't cuddling up to me."

"Don't care. I'm having fun bending it."

"That is really disgusting and wei-" Lin was cut off when she felt Kya scooch down on the bed and began to kiss her stomach.

"If you put that book down, I could do more than kiss." The waterbender smiled to herself as she felt a shudder flow through the earthbender's body.

"Spirits. Why do you do this to me?"

"Because I love doing it and you love it too."

Throwing her book to the floor, Lin wrapped her arms around Kya's waist and rolled them over, making her girlfriend squeak in the process. She kissed Kya on the lips and slowly worked her way down until she came to the waistband of her skirt. Instead of pulling it down with her hand, she took it between her teeth and just as she was about to pull them down, the door swung open to reveal Su.

"What are you two doing!?"

"Enjoying each other's company?"

Lin let out a groan as she rolled over onto her back beside Kya and stared up at the ceiling, mood completely ruined. "What do you want Su?"

"I need help."

"With what?"

"This."

Propping herself up on her elbows, Lin took one look at her sister and burst out laughing. "Your face! It looks like you've been crying!"

Her laughter came to a halt when Kya punched her in the shoulder, glaring at her to shut up. "What happened Su? It looks like you've been crying."

"I went shopping with friends and it was so hot I started sweating and it caused my makeup to run. I was so embarrassed I ran home as soon as I saw it in the bathroom mirror."

Kya stood from Lin's bed and ushered Su out of the room. "When I finish helping Su, I want to go for a swim."

"Yeah, no problem."

Su plopped down on the stool and wiped away the heavy layer of makeup until the washcloth was covered in black and browns. "That's your first problem."

"What?"

"You are wearing too much makeup. You don't need foundation with your coloured skin. All you need is a little lipstick, some mascara and a little bit of blush. Save all that other stuff for when you're old like me."

Su sat still as Kya began to apply a soft amount of blush on her cheeks. "So, does Lin like all this stuff on you?"

"Not really, but she understands that I like to wear it."

"What doesn't she like about it?"

"Mainly my lipstick. I accidentally got some on her neck before she went into work. She wasn't happy when we went to dinner that night." Kya put down the blush and began to apply the lipstick. "So what are your plans for tonight?"

"I'm going to have dinner with some friends and then hang out in the park. Kya, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure?"

Su looked down at her toes, not sure if she should ask the question or not, but decided to anyway. "How do you know if someone likes you? I mean, you knew that Lin liked you to a certain extent didn't you?"

Kya took her time to answer the young girl as she picked up the mascara. "Well, I knew when I kissed her and she kissed me back. If this is about a guy I suggest being friends first before becoming something more. Make sure you have a few things in common first. No point in starting a relationship if you don't share some interests."

Once Kya finished with Su's makeup, the young earthbender gave her a hug. "Thanks Kya."

"No problem now go and have some fun." Once Su left, Kya re-entered Lin's bedroom to find her digging through her closet. "No, your sexy girlfriend isn't in there."

"Funny. I'm looking for my bathers, because you insisted on swimming tonight."

A smirk graced Kya's features as she walked behind Lin and nibbled on her ear. "You don't need bathers to swim."

Lin froze in place at the thought of seeing the waterbender's naked form for the first time, that her brain didn't register Kya leading her to the beach that joined onto the backyard. "Umm, I don't know if I can skinny dip."

"Why not? We're both women. We both have the same parts." She peeled off her shirt to show Lin that she was comfortable with their current situation before walking into the ocean to dive under the water and come up for air a few seconds later. "You can stay on the sand if you want. I have no problem cooling down on my own."

Letting out a groan, Lin stripped down and joined her girlfriend with a splash. "Ah, I didn't realise how hot it was until now."

"Mm. I missed being able to swim naked without acolytes walking past constantly. You have to admit, this is pretty relaxing."

"I guess. The sun setting is a nice touch."

Coming to stand next to Lin, Kya took her hand in her own as they watched the sun set together. "Perfect ending to a perfect day."

Kya let go of Lin's hand to stand behind her and ran soft, firm hands down her back. "You know, you need to tell me how you got all these scars."

"There's only two," turning around, she leaned forward until their bodies were firmly pressed together, "and both were training accidents."

"Well you're no fun."

"I'm very fun." To prove her point, Lin splashed her with some water and quickly swam further out to sea.

"Picking a fight with a waterbender isn't very smart."

The two women continued to play in the water for an hour until they were left panting heavily in front of each other. Closing the space between them, Lin softly kissed Kya, savouring the taste of salt from the sea, only to have it abruptly interrupted by a rock smashing against her skull. "What the- Su?" Lin was thankful that she and Kya were in neck deep water so that her little sister couldn't see anything, but was still annoyed to have a rock thrown at her.

"Sorry, I meant to kit Kya."

"Me? Why me?"

"You gave me terrible advice! I kissed him but he didn't kiss me back!"

The waterbender was about to respond, only to have her girlfriend step in. "Su, go inside while Kya and I dry off and then we will talk about this like mature adults." The two women began to swim back to shore once Su was out of sight, deciding to take their time getting dressed.

"Is your head okay?"

"Fine. It isn't the first time she threw a rock at me and it won't be the last. So what did you tell the brat?"

"I gave her very good advice from a very experienced woman."

"Your dad?"

"…Yes."
