Chapter 7 (Day 4)
Hair Management And Kisses
Ty Lee woke up and blinked. She moaned quietly. She let out a small yawn before blinking again. Ty Lee was about to get up when she realised four things.
One, she was lying on her back.
Two, said back did not hurt, not even a little. Yup, Ty Lee confirmed as she rubbed her back into the hard ground. Her back didn't hurt, at all.
Three, her body from the stomach down was warm. Warm and covered with something that felt like a blanket. Maybe it's the same one she had used back at their cave. Maybe Aang had found their cave and brought it back for her.
Finally, her head was nestled on someone's chest. She stiffened, her breath caught in her throat and her fists clenched slowly. She did not want to alert the person lying under her so she slowly raised her head off the person's chest. As soon as her head left the person's chest, she swung her head sharply to the left. Ty Lee released her fists and the breath she had been holding when she saw that it was Aang's chest she had woken up on. Ty Lee's body relaxed and she sighed slowly.
Ty Lee sat up. She stretched her hand and felt her back. It was smooth. A confused frown formed on her face. Ty lee pushed the leafy blanket down and looked at her legs. They were also smooth. There were no bite marks or scars or blood. They had tinges of red but they were otherwise smooth. Ty Lee ran her hand over both legs just to be sure she wasn't imagining things. Her hands glided effortlessly down her legs and her fingertips tingled pleasantly. They were smooth and healed.
Ty Lee checked all of her wounds and found them all healed. Her grin got wider and wider as she felt smooth and healed flesh where jagged and bleeding wounds had been. She turned and looked at Aang. He was awake and he was watching her with a sleepy look on his face. Ty Lee smirked before she bent her body forward and melded her lips with his.
Aang had woken up a few seconds after Ty Lee. He had watched through hazy eyes as Ty Lee had checked her body all over with a wide grin on her face. Then she had turned and looked at him. And then she had kissed him.
Aang was pretty sure his brain had exploded inside his head. Her lips felt soft and they tasted like strawberries. Aang felt as if the tent had blurred around him, the lights dimming and the sounds drowned by the sound of his heart pounding in his ears. And he was drowning too. Drowning in the rush of blood to his head-and other, more primitive places-in the heady and sexy scent of her skin. It was agonising when she drew back. He was rewarded however, when her soft strawberry flavoured lips curled slowly and irresistibly at the corners, turning into a wide, contented smile.
"Good morning," she almost purred, reminding him of a small black cat that had just had its first taste of cream.
Aang couldn't help but smile. His pulse was still racing and his blood was still pounding in his ears. He didn't know why she had kissed him but he knew he liked it. And he wanted her to do it again. Aang's smile progressed into a grin before he replied her, "Good morning Ty Lee."
Ty Lee grinned back before she rose to her feet. She turned and skipped out of the tent with an excited grin on her face."Come on." She called back as she hopped excitedly out of the confines of the tent into the open. It was bright and fine outside and Ty Lee's grin widened further. She hopped a few more feet before she wheeled around and watched with her hands on her hips as Aang emerged from the cave with a curious twinkle in his eyes. She watched as his eyes swept over her body from bottom to top. His head cocked to one side.
"Your hairband has come undone." His voice sounded cheerful and lively.
Ty Lee's hands immediately flew to her head. She had been in such a good mood that she had not noticed that her hair was now flowing in a free and unrestrained wave, instead of the usual tight, compact braid. She began to smooth it back with her hands. As she did, she began to reflect on the morning's events. The kiss had been the best part so far. She smirked as she held her hair above her head. Definitely the best part of the morning. And she was definitely going to kiss him again. But that would be during or after she attended to her hair, not before.
"Where's the sea ?" She asked.
"What ?"
"I said 'where's the sea ?' " She repeated with a faint giggle. Aang had a confused expression on his face.
"Why do you want the sea ?"
Ty Lee giggled again, louder this time. "I don't want the sea. I want to wash my hair ."
"Oh ok, well the sea is umm that way" Aang pointed. Ty Lee nodded and began to walk in the direction he had pointed. Then she stopped when he realised he wasn't following her. She swivelled her body around before she called out. "Come on, I need your help with my hair ."
Aang was perpelexed for a few seconds. Why should she want him to help her with her hair ? He didn't have any. A quick rub of his head confirmed his thought. So what did he know about hair, let alone long complicated female hair like hers ? Why had she kissed him ? And why was she being so nice to him ? Aang didn't even get to voice his train of thought before he felt a hand pulling his. He snapped out of his stupor and let her lead the way, with his hand in hers. Aang took a deep breath.
"Why did you kiss me ? ."
Ty Lee froze and turned slowly with an amused expression on her face. She had expected him to ask as soon as she had kissed him. He hadn't and Ty Lee had had a little time to figure out the answer she was going to give him. She smirked slowly before she pulled him close. Then she put her mouth near his left ear and whispered slowly, "I kissed you because I like you. Now shush and come help me with my hair or I'll kiss you again and carry you to the sea myself ."
Aang swallowed. Her voice sounded sensual and her breath on his neck and ear made him shiver. His breath was shaky and he mentally shook his head at the irony of an airbender being unable to breathe. Kind of like an waterbender that couldn't swim. Aang dismissed his runaway thoughts and swallowed again. "What makes you think you can carr-". His sentence was interrupted as Ty Lee kissed the rest of his sentence back into his re-exploding brain.
Ty Lee smirked as she kissed him again. He had fallen into her trap. She closed her eyes and moaned appreciatively into the kiss. She pulled away and smirked again. "Time to carry you ." Quick as a flash, she bent down and scooped him up. For a few seconds, Ty Lee just stood there with a protesting Aang in her hands, then she giggled and toppled over and he fell on top of her. Ty Lee grinned. Aang was leaning over her body, using his hands as supports for his body. His eyes held a twinge of laughter and he was wearing a large smile.
"So y-you l-like me ? ", he stuttered slowly. Ty Lee nodded affirmatively. Aang's voice sounded unsure. "So you won't m-mind if I do this ?" Slowly he brought his body down until his lips were a few millimeters away from hers, so close that she could almost feel them on hers. "No, I don't mind. In fact..."
Then she kissed him again and for the third time in one day, her lips blew what was left of his brain into smithereens. Aang pulled back slowly. "Good morning ", he breathed. Ty Lee giggled and smiled before she spoke.
" Umm Aang ? "
" Yes ? "
" You're heavy "
Aang's eyes widened and he scrambled to his feet muttering apologies while Ty Lee grinned. He took a step back and extended his left hand. Ty Lee smirked and took it. As Aang pulled her up, she jumped and twisted around his body so she was now lodged firmly on his back.
" I thought you were supposed to carry me ", Aang laughed. He turned his head to look at her and she planted a tiny kiss at the edge of his lips before pulling back. " I changed my mind. Now are you going to stand here kissing me all day or are you going to carry me to the sea ? "
"I'll carry you to the sea "
"Good, now MARCH ! "
"Yes ma'am. Though you might want to hold on "
Aang grinned before he took off as fast as he could with a giggling Ty Lee on his back.
