Warm Water
Kya smiled as she woke up. She felt Lin's soft puffs of air against her neck. She rolled over and looked at how peaceful she looked. She couldn't believe Lin had said she loved her after all these years. She moved forward and Eskimo kissed her. Lin grumbled but Kya quieted her with kisses.
"You know this couch is very comfortable. I can see why you've been sleeping on it."
Lin smiled as she opened her eyes. "It's only comfortable now that you're here with me."
"Such a sweet talker in the morning." Kya said kissing her again.
Lin hummed closing her eyes again. "Says the woman kissing me awake with bad breath." She said pulling her closer.
Kya giggled and kissed her nose. "I'm sorry how about I go brush my teeth and you make me some coffee and then we switch."
Lin huffed letting her go. "Fine but I don't like it."
"Hush is raining so we can stay in today and cuddle all you want." Kya said as she got up.
Lin smacked her butt and smirked when Kya turned too glared at her. "Your blush is adorable." She chuckled. Kya grumbled as she walked away from Lin's bright smile.
Lin waited until she was out of sight to bounce to her feet and dance her way into the kitchen. Kya was hers now. They had talked most of the night about their feelings and then fell asleep in each other's arms. This moment was something of it's own.
She sighed heavily and painfully when someone knocked on her door. At least it was someone she knew. Only strangers went to the front door that was never used. She was surprised to see Kuvira standing there soaking wet. "Why didn't you just come in? You have a key and it's made out of metal."
Kuvira only smiled bigger. "Because I didn't want to risk seeing anything." She said with a wink.
Lin blushed. "We only talked then fell asleep on the couch."
"So you didn't kiss?" Kuvira asked as she got rained on.
"We did." Lin said looking away quickly. "A lot."
"Good I'm happy for you." Kuvira said giving her a hug.
Lin groaned wrapping her arms around her wet body. "Do you want to come inside? It is raining crazy."
Kuvira shook her head. "No the rain isn't heavy and it's nice." Kuvira said taking a few steps back. She tilted her head up and let the rain wash over her. "I owe you a dance and you owe me a song."
Lin raised an eyebrow. "You want me to sing in the rain?"
"Yup." Kuvira said as she made her way of the deck.
Lin sighed heavily as she stepped out into the rain. "You're lucky I like you."
"I'm lucky you love me." Kuvira corrected smirking.
Lin rolled her eyes pushing her hair back. "What do you want me to sing?"
Kuvira shrugged taking off her shoes. "It doesn't matter I can dance to it all."
Lin nodded as she leaned back against the steps railing.
Kuvira didn't have to wait too long as she twirled around after Lin nodded at her.
Lin couldn't keep the smile off her face as she started to sing.
Good love is so hard to find
We got it right for a while
Do you get lonely at night?
We don't have to go higher, we don't have to go
Seeing Kuvira dance was a special treat after all these years.
The lights, cold nights, remember when
I call you every now and then
So good, that on and off again
And on again
Oh, why don't you come over?
Baby be close to me, just like you used to be
Oh, one more night to hold ya
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
Kuvira went for raw and hard as she moved around in the yard. She needed to show Lin how much she had improved. She put her heart into all of her moves. Using the slippery ground to her advantage. It made her sharp movements flow into her simple ones. The smile she had never faltered. It only grew every time she caught Lin's eye.
I always loved how you kiss
And I'm overdue for a fix
Just with a touch of your lips
I want you to come home, I want you to come home
Lin followed her every movement.
The lights, cold nights, remember when
I call you every now and then
So good, that on and off again
And on again
It seemed like she glided across the yard. Like she soared whenever she jumped. Like she went on in circles for forever when she twirled.
Oh, why don't you come over?
Baby be close to me, just like you used to be
Oh, one more night to hold ya
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
What Lin loved the most was that Kuvira looked ridiculously happy. Whenever they made eye contact Kuvira seemed to brighten if that was possible. In the low lighting from the sun hidden by the clouds. This was beyond a gift that Kuvira had. The girl was flawless and full of life while she danced.
Baby I love how you love in the in between
Baby I love how it feels when you're holding me
Baby I love how you love in the in between
Baby I love it, I love it
Oh, why don't you come over?
Baby be close to me, just like you used to be
It was breath taking. That was the best Lin could come up with. She had no idea how she managed to keep singing. She tossed it up to not waiting to the dance to come to an end to soon.
Oh, why don't you come over?
Baby be close to me, just like you used to be
Oh, one more night to hold ya
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
Kuvira felt so proud of herself. The dance that she was doing was completely on the spot. It wasn't rehearsed beforehand. There wasn't any thought in to it. It was just all improvised. She hadn't slipped or fell once. She just let her soul carry her in every direction.
We don't have to call it love, we just need a human touch
She raised her head and as she righted herself. Letting the rain run off her body as the song ended.
Kuvira opened her eyes and slowly looked at Lin who had the biggest smile on her face. Lin opened her arms and Kuvira ran over and jumped into her arms.
"You were amazing!" Lin said spinning her around as Kuvira whooped.
"Your voice was amazing!" Kuvira said jumping back on her for another hug after Lin had put her down.
"You were breath taking!"
"I was about to faint because of your voice!"
"And I'll shut down dancing careers before they even begin." Kuvira laughed shaking her head.
"Yeah well no music I ever here from this point on will compare to you."
Lin hadn't even noticed that the younger woman had walked her backwards up the steps. "I see the rain doesn't bother you anymore." Kuvira said winking as she went around her.
Lin chuckled looking down at her clothes. "It's a little too late to worry about that now." She said turning around. She froze because there Kya stood soaking wet in her bathrobe.
"Your welcome." Kuvira said giving Kya a kiss on the cheek and Lin a thumbs up as she went in the house.
"Kya you're soaked." Lin said coming closer to the older woman. "How long how have you been out here?" Kya didn't answer her just continued to stare at her. Lin shook her head grabbing her hand. "Come on let's get yo-" She gasped as she was slammed up against the wall.
Kya wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her down into a kiss. Lin groaned and Kya slipped her tongue in without hesitation. Lin whimpered as she pulled her closer. She shivered at the feeling of their wet body's sliding together.
"I came back to ask if you wanted to shower with me." Kya said in between kisses as she made her way down to her neck. "Why didn't you tell me how beautiful your voice is?!" Kya demanded with a harsh nip to Lin's neck. Lin's knees became weak as Kya sucked over her mark. "I wanted to rip your clothes off so bad." Kya hissed switching to the other side of her neck. She kissed her way back up to Lin's lips and kissed her roughly. "I wanted to take you on the ground in the rain."
Lin moaned as she flipped them and pushed Kya against the house. Kya moaned at the change of placement. She whined when Lin stepped away from her. Lin kept her eyes on her as she raised earth walls blocking their view from anyone that might come by. Which would have been rare because no one rode around here and her neighbors were a good bit away. Lin came back in close and kissed her soft. Savoring the taste of her lips as she pulled away. She tugged on the bow holding her robe in place around Kya. Kya nodded biting her lip as Lin looked at her in question. She let her eyes travel down Kya's body as more of her skin came into view.
"I know I'm not what I use to be but-"
"Kya." Lin said strongly making the other woman look at her. She searched her eyes as she stared at the halfway naked body in front of her. "You're beautiful." Kya nodded and Lin smiled before leaning in and taking her lips again.
Kya moaned as Lin's hands traveled all over her body. Lin pulled back as she rested her forehead against hers. "Sorry but I've waited years and I don't have any patience left." She said spreading Kya's legs wider.
"Lin." Kya gasped as Lin's fingers brushed over her clit.
They both moaned as Lin's fingers passed through her slippery folds. Lin kissed her deeply as her thumb pressed down on her clit. Kya broke the kiss moaning when Lin pushed two fingers inside her. She whimpered rocking her hips to meet Lin's thrusts. Lin wrapped an arm around her to keep her standing as she focused on her neck.
Kya threw her head back against the house as Lin continued to take her. The soft drops of the rain against her skin was a cool welcome to her flushed skin. She felt as if her skin was burning especially the places Lin touched. Her hips jerked forward with a loud groan as Lin curled her fingers. She whined noticing Lin was about watch her come undone. She wrapped an arm around Lin's neck and her other hand gripped Lin's arm for support as her orgasm neared.
"Lin! Oh Lin! Fuck!" She screamed as she came undone. Lin kept her fingers in and let her ride out her high. Kya gave her a sloppy kiss as she recovered. "I love you." Kya whispered against her lips. She moaned as Lin withdrew her fingers.
Lin moaned as she sucked her fingers clean. "I love you to."
Kya yelped as she suddenly pinned to the house and Lin was on her knees holding her there by her thighs. Before she could protest Lin slowly ran her tongue through her folds and circled around her clit. Kya moaned gripping her head as she looked down at her. Lin held her eye as she did it again only this time Kya rocked into it.
"Lin don't tease!" Kya begged trying to grind against her mouth.
Lin gave her thigh a hard bite and then sucked her clit into her mouth. Kya choked on her moan as her body shook. It wouldn't take much more for her to come apart. Lin knew this as well from the way Kya tried to move her hips away. Lin huffed angrily before doubling her efforts. Kya moaned as she rocked with the strokes of her tongue. She chanted Lin's name over and over again until her body spasm with her second orgasm.
Lin quickly rose up with Kya still in her arms and hugged her close. Kya weakly peppered kisses on her neck as Lin took them inside. Kya quickly bent the water off of them. Her attention went back to Lin as she guided her into a slow kiss but deep kiss.
Lin carefully sat her back on feet once they got in the bathroom. She was so happy she could metal bend because she couldn't be bothered to separate herself from Kya's lips to turn on the shower. Kya pulled back and tsked. Lin was still fully clothed and that was a problem. Lin raised her arms and let Kya take off her shirt. Kya's eyes racked up and down her body as soon as the fabric was removed. Kya undid her pants and slowly pushed them down. Her eyes trailed down every inch of flesh that came into view. Lin blushed as Kya helped her out of her pants. Kya carelessly chucked the pants away as she stood back up.
"You're the one that's beautiful." Kya whispered grabbing her face and kissing her. "I have never thought of you being anything else." Taking her hand she led the younger woman into the shower.
Lin let herself be backed up against the shower wall. Kya kissed her jaw and then worked her way down her neck. She knew Lin was different from her. Lin loved it when her partner showed how much they wanted her. She loved to be marked and Kya had no problem giving her that. Her fingers brushed over her nipples and Lin gasped a quiet moan. Kya twisted them squeezing the flesh underneath her hands as she bit and sucked twin trails down to Lin's breast. Her hands moved down to her hips as her lips wrapped around a nipple. Lin moaned her hips bucking into Kya. She groaned pushing Kya's head into her more. Kya moved her leg in between Lin's. Lin whimpered as she grinded down on her thigh to release some of the pressure building up. She panted and moaned as she moved faster. She whined when Kya stilled her hips.
"Please." She begged pulling Kya up for a kiss.
"I got you baby." Kya said freezing her foot to the back of the shower wall.
Lin whimpered as Kya started sucking on her other nipple and allowed her to grind against her thigh again. Kya smirked as she nipped at her nipple. One of her hands grabbed a hand full Lin's ass before giving it a squeeze.
"Kya." Lin moaned.
Kya moved her hand further south and she slipped to fingers into Lin. Lin moaned gripping her shoulder for support. Kya thrusted a few more times and Lin came screaming her name. Kya unfroze her foot and moved her leg enough for Lin to slump back against the wall.
Kya caught her eye as she licked her fingers. "Sweet." Lin whimpered and Kya smiled about to get down to her knees.
"Kya wait." Lin panted stopping her. Kya raised an eyebrow. Lin blushed. "Can I have a second?"
Kya chuckled and it made Lin shudder because she knew Kya wouldn't listen. "No." Kya said shackling Lin's wrist to the wall with ice. "You're going to be good and let me give you another orgasm." Lin whimpered arching into the hand that danced down her skin. "Now where was I?" Kya said racking her nails down Lin's abs. Lin groaned wishing Kya would hurry up. "Oh yeah I was leaving a trail." She hummed as she leaned down and kissed her way up from Lin's belly button to her breast.
Lin groaned pulling on her restraints. Kya tongue felt so hot that it burned her skin as the water bender sucked away on her body. She felt so powerless and safe. Kya wasn't even touching her where she needed it most but she felt like she could burst at any second. "Kya!" She moaned loudly as the other woman bit her hip as she dragged her nails down the back of her thighs. "Please!" Lin panted looking down at her smirking face. Kya pulled a leg up on her shoulder. She would be lying if she said she wasn't ready to taste Lin directly. She quickly ran her tongue through her folds and groaned as Lin came rather loudly on her tongue. "Fuck!" Lin moaned her body pulsing as it came down.
Kya peppered kisses on her thighs and pelvis as she waited for her to come down a little bit. Lin looked down at her confused expecting her to get up. Instead she gasped as she felt Kya nose at her clit gently. It turned into a moan when she gave it a couple of flicks with her tongue. Her moans became louder as Kya pushed two fingers into her.
Kya looked up and watched Lin let bliss take over. Kya wished she could capture this moment for forever. Kya hummed as she sucked her clit into her mouth. SH loved the way Lin called her name out in a desperate breath as she was close. She curled her fingers and Lin came undone with a moan whispering Kya's name. Kya wrapped her arms around her before releasing her from the wall. She kissed her cheek and gently pulled her under the spray of the shower.
Kuvira was back at the air temple. She hadn't had a very eventful day. She had talked to the world leaders. Well Izumi called her but still they all just wanted to basically know the same things. They thanked her for treating their people so greatly. She had told them what she told Raiko. They told her that there must have been a better way at doing things. She agreed that there probably was but she didn't see one.
It had stopped raining by then but everyone was gathered in the sitting room talking and sharing stories. She had started out in the conversation like she always did. Then somewhere down the line everyone had ignored her. She had tried to jump back in but she was easily pushed aside. Finally she just gave up and listened instead. It wasn't like this was anything new. She was often pushed aside like this when she wasn't being a leader. She has always been one of those overlooked people. As hard as it is to believe it's awfully true. Knowing that didn't make it hard to stomach. It was the thoughts that came with it that she didn't do well with. She gripped her wrists as she stood up and quietly made her way from the room. She didn't want to be alone but she didn't want to be here either.
She walked outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. Putting her hands behind her back and leaning up against the building. She sighed as she looked up to the sky. The sun was setting and the sky was colorful. There was blue, violet, red, orange and a few clouds. She wondered how Ea Alii felt when she was up there in the sky. Then the thoughts that she had tried not think of came crashing down around her. She closed her eyes tightly and did her breathing exercises to clear her mind.
"Kuvira?" She jumped at the sound of her voice. She turned to see Asami and Korra giving her a worried look.
"H-Hi." She squeaked.
"We're sorry we didn't mean to scare you." Asami said giving her an apologetic smile.
Kuvira shook her head. "It's ok. It's my fault for being in my own head." Kuvira said with a shrug as she crossed her arms. "Anyway do you need me for something?"
"We noticed when you left. You've been quiet most of the evening. We wanted to ask was something wrong but not in front of everyone." Korra explained as they walked closer to her.
"We wanted to make sure you were ok so we waited a few minutes before leaving to follow you." Asami added on looking up at the sky.
"Thank you." Kuvira said quietly staring at the ground. "But you guys didn't have to bother with me. I'm sure no one else noticed."
The other two frowned. "Yeah they didn't but how could they not?" Asami asked angrily.
"Besides we're your friends and we're here for you." Korra added on giving her a smile.
Kuvira returned the smile. "I think I'm ok now." Kuvira said more to herself than as a real answer.
"Do you want to talk about?" Korra asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
Kuvira shook her head. "No." She glanced at Asami's worried look. "At least not yet." She mumbled.
"That's fine." Asami said giving her a smile.
"We'll be here when you need to talk. And if we're not around and it's important write it down or something and we will defiantly get to it." Kuvira blushed as she looked away from her bright smile.
Korra giggled. "You are so cute when you blush."
Kuvira blushed more as she glared at her. "I am not!"
"I have to agree with Korra on this." Asami said. "But I already knew that from the photo Korra sent me."
"What photo!?" Kuvira demanded turning towards the sputtering Avatar.
Korra turned pale as she waved her hands. "I don't know what she's talking about!"
Kuvira squinted her eyes at her. "If I find out otherwise." Korra nodded furiously.
"So are you excited for tomorrow?" Asami asked her.
Kuvira shrugged. "I don't know. I expect it will be like a kind of party. I never been to that or any kind of real dance before."
"You're kidding right?" Korra asked.
"No nothing but formal things and I was more like a guard than anything else." Kuvira said biting her lip.
Asami thought for a moment before looking at Korra. Kuvira looked back and forth sure that they were having a talk about her. She gasped jumping a little when they both suddenly turned to her. "We'll dance with you." Korra said giving her a smile.
Kuvira blushed. "What no! That's ok. You don't have to do that."
"Well we are. Just like we're giving you a ride home because it's late." Asami said turning on her heel and marching off. Korra started pushing her along before she could question it.
"Thank you both for the ride." Kuvira said as they pulled up to Lin's house. She was so surprised and happy that they had even noticed her.
"It's no problem. Just try not to be a nervous dork whenever we text you from now on." Korra said leaning out of the car and poking her in the stomach.
Kuvira knocked her hand away as she rolled her eyes. "I'll think about it."
"Do you need us to pick you up tomorrow?" Asami asked.
"Uh no it's ok. I'll ride with them." Kuvira said throwing a thumb over her shoulder.
"Well alright if you're sure but you better not try to get out of the dances with us." Asami said playfully glaring at her.
Kuvira chuckled lightly. "I won't. I better go though so you too can get home."
"It's no problem we like talking to you." Korra said winking at her.
Kuvira blushed looking at anything but them. "Well goodnight."
"Goodnight." They both said. They both looked at each other confused when she walked to the front door instead of the back.
Kuvira gave them a little wave before she slipped inside. Her eyes were closed but she made it to her room with no problem. She didn't want to see those two doing anything. A knock on the door sounded as she took her bag off. "Come in."
Lin walked in and smiled at her. "I was getting worried but I didn't want to call and bother you."
"You could never bother me." Kuvira said as she took off her shoes.
Lin thought she was a little off but didn't want to push. "Well are you hungry? Kya cooked as usual."
"Yeah I should eat something. I haven't ate since morning."
Lin frowned. "You should always eat."
"I know sorry." Kuvira said giving her smile. Kuvira walked past her and made her way into the kitchen.
"Vira!" Kya said giving her a smile. "We were waiting on you so we could eat together."
"Oh sorry next time you guys can go ahead and eat without me." Kuvira said as she started to eat.
Kya gave Lin a worried look. "Sweetheart is everything ok?" Kya asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Kuvira said without looking up from her plate.
"You're lying." Lin sighed. "Again."
Kuvira bit her lip as she squeezed her right wrist. "Sorry I'm sorry. I'm not ready to talk about it. I'll be better tomorrow." She said not looking at either of them.
"Honey you know you can talk to us about anything right?" Lin tried.
"Yes I know but I'm not ready." Kuvira said glancing at them.
"Ok that's more than enough for us." Kya assured sighed in relief.
"I was wondering why you never take off the platinum bands around your wrists." Lin asked and Kuvira froze.
"Can we not talk about that either please?" She whispered.
Lin reached over and squeezed her nape. "Relax I'm sorry there are so many questions. We just care about you is all. We just want to make sure that there isn't anything we could be doing for you."
Kuvira gave them the first real smile since she returned under Lin's touch. "You two do more for me than you realize. And I'm so happy you two a together." She said. "And I promise tomorrow I'll be better I just need some sleep."
"OK." Lin said leaning over and kissing her forehead. "When you're ready."
Kuvira was happy she had so many caring people in her life that was close to her. She didn't want to return to any of her dark times.
NOTES: Most of my Chapter titles are songs and it's always been Lin's back door. She doesn't use the front door.
