the thief and the airbender
okay
[AU in which Kai saves Jinora instead of Tenzin.]
{for christinajoanne (nuktuk)}
Jinora's barely aware that she's falling - only that her limbs ache and her head feels fuzzy - when two strong arms wrap around her and pull her back to reality: Kai.
There's a skidded movement as Kai lands and sets her down on a nearby roof, a good distance away from Kuvira's mechatank. "Are you okay?" Kai says worriedly, brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face.
She cracks a smile, and lets him help her to her feet, leaning heavily on him. His arm snakes around her waist, pulling her closer, supporting, protecting. She takes his hand, giving it a squeeze.
"I am now," she says softly, tightening her grip on his hand.
In the middle of chaos, they had found a moment of peace.
I swear I'm going to get to actual requests soon I just can't get the finale out of my head. Forgive me for Kainora? :)
