Day 7 - Secrets
Summary: Lin and Tenzin have to hide their affair (T). Song-fic.
Tenzin and Lin were sitting under a big tree on the air temple island. There were only sounds of singing Bird and wind as they stayed silent, thinking about what other people had said about hem. That they were only a pair of teenagers. Too young, people said. Can't young people feel love when it's there?
People say we shouldn't be together
We're too young to know about forever
But I say they don't know what they talk talk talkin' about
"I shouldn't have told our parents about us," Tenzin set his hand on top of Lin's.
"It's okay. It's not your fault. They're the ones who don't understand," Lin said. She rested her head on Tenzin's shoulder and sighed, "It's hard to be young."
"Tenzin laughed," Lin, my beautiful fierce stubborn girlfriend." He plucked a flower and put it on Lin's hair.
"Tenzin, my airheaded serious loving boyfriend," she replied.
"Forever," they sang.
Cause this love is only getting stronger
So I don't wanna wait any longer
I just wanna tell the world that you're mine girl
Tenzin had liked the girl since he was little. It wasn't love back then, he just had to help her and protect her and she just had to punch him and yell at him. It took years to realize that he had fallen in love, and more years to find out that the girl also felt that way.
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
Lin touched her lips, shocked by the boy's sudden attempt. She playfully shoved him and they ended up laughing on the dirt, surrounded by autumn leaves. She knew right away he's the one for her. She was strong and stubborn while he was soft and wise. They were opposites but that's what makes them complement each other perfectly.
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
"Tenz-," she stopped as Tenzin grabbed her hand and kissed her roughly. Lin blushed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you," Lin said, breathing heavily. She giggled as Tenzin softly kissed her neck.
Just one touch and I was a believer
Every day it gets a little sweeter
It's getting better
Keeps getting better all the time girl
Tenzin cried last light. If it were all up to him, he wouldn't want to separate from his girl. He just couldn't, but he was an airbender, he had a responsibility. "Lin, I love you," he said, staring at the moon. He looked at the blooming flowers in his garden and wondered if he would still have a chance to put one on Lin's dark hair.
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
Lin clenched her fist and smashed the wall in her room, tears streaming down her face. "Stupid!" she yelled. She cried until she fell asleep. There was a big crater on her wall but her heart was just as broken, and she wondered if she would be able to fix it.
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
"What are you doing?" Lin struggled to break away from Tenzin but he grabbed her shoulder and hugged her tight. "I miss you. I hurt you I'm sorry. But you have to know that I still care about you," he confessed. "You're my first and last."
They don't know how special you are
They don't know what you've done to my heart
They can say anything they want
Cause they don't know about us
"No one has ever done this to me," the chief of police bitterly started. "The problem is I never hated you, not even a bit, airhead!" They released their hug. They belonged with each other and they knew that. Both smiled, "forever."
They don't know what we do best
That's between me and you our little secret
But I wanna tell em
I wanna tell the world that you're mine girl
Lin woke up in Tenzin's embrace. She turned around and brought her fingers to his face, tracing his eyebrows, nose, lips. "Tenzin, my airheaded serious loving man," she whispered.
"Lin, my beautiful fierce stubborn woman," Tenzin mumbled.
"Forever."
They don't know about the things we do
