the thief and the airbender
back to back
On the streets, Kai had been alone. He had no one helping him survive, and so he got used to looking out for only himself. That had all changed of course, when he had gotten airbending. And then, suddenly, he had people he cared about and people who cared about him in turn. He had a best friend. A girlfriend, and he would do anything to protect her. He knew she would do anything to protect him too.
Even as the war for Republic City wore on and they battled Kuvira's men in the streets, Kai was glad Jinora never left his side. Her presence was a constant reassurance. Kuvira's men were growing stronger by the second, and somehow the two had ended up alone in the fight.
Kai dodged a swipe from one of the mechatanks, sending a blast of air and then taking a step backwards. He felt Jinora's hand brush against his own - a tiny rush of comfort surged through him as he stood back-to-back with her.
If he had to die at somebody's side, there was no one else he would have chose but her.
I had to write something before the finale. I'll probably write something after the finale... *ugly sobbing* Then requests shall continue as normal. :)
Also, an important note: remember that tumblr I made, thetheifandtheairbender? I've recently moved to words-with-dragons and that's my new blogging premise, so go follow me there.
Stay strong guys. Tonight's going to be a fantastic, emotional ride and I am so glad I get to experience it with all of you. Feel free to leave all of your feels in the box below! :)
