Someone Must Have An Exiting Sex Life
Everyone is seated at the table, light chatter filling the room. Kya and Lin are sitting next to each other with Jinora on Kya’s right and Meelo on Lin’s left with Ikki next to him, the next two seats over being the heads of the table we’re reserved for Suyin and Batarr with Opal, Bolin and the rest of Su’s children sitting down the other side of the table. Tenzin, Pema and Rohan sat at the opposite side of the table to Suyin with Bumi, Izumi, Zuko and Toph in between Kya and Tenzin.
Suyin and Batarr enter the room, taking their seats and everyone goes silent staring at the two, shortly after food starts filling the room so no questions are asked but Lin’s eyes keep darting over to the two of them.
Towards the end of the meal, Baatar excuses himself to go do some work on one of Zofu’s new bridge designs, kissing Suyin’s forehead on the way out. Once he is out of earshot Kya and Lin make eye contact and Lin nods before Kya speaks up.
“Ok so someone’s gotta mention the giant elephant in the room!” She practically shouts looking at Su.
“Which is?” The younger Beifong asks looking back at Kya confused.
“Spirits Su, mom may be blind but the rest of us can see!” Lin speaks up from next to Kya.
“Hey! I’m right here!” Toph says from the other end of the table causing everyone to laugh.
“What on earth are you two talking about?” Suyin asks.
“The GIANT hickey on your husband's neck! That’s what!” Lin shouts rolling her eyes at her sister.
“Someone must have an exciting sex life!” Kya laughs as Su smirks.
Bumi laughs and Izumi wolfs whistles as Tenzin shakes his head in disapproval.
“Hey! I’ve seen your victims, you do just as bad if not worse. And I’m surprised my sister doesn’t have any similar marks, knowing the two of you!” Su laughs along with the rest of the table as Lin physically chokes on her water before death glaring Su.
Once the laughter dies down Lin is still angrily glaring at her sister which prints Su to further embrace her.
“Kya call your girlfriend off she looks like she’s gonna kill me!” Su laughs once again sending the table further into a laughing fit.
“Yeah, sugar princess, everyone knows you're the only one who can calm her down,” Toph adds, not helping Lin’s embarrassment.
“Oh don’t worry Linnie, I don’t think you’re Kya’s type anyway,” Bumi adds as if he’s helping things at all.
“And how would you know my type?” Kya challenges her brother by raising her eyebrow.
He instantly backs off any Kya looks to see Lin with her head in her lap trying to ignore everyone.
“Don’t worry Aunt Lin, Aunt Kya makes me feel better too!” Ikki says trying to comfort her Aunt.
“Yeah, she gives really good back rubs, like this!” Meelo says rubbing his sticky hands all over Lin’s back.
“Yeah, Aunt Kya’s the best, no offence Aunt Lin,” Jinora adds, trying to be helpful.
Kya simply tells Meelo she’ll take it from here and starts gently rubbing Lin’s back as the others return to their conversations.
“I’m sorry they’re like this,” Kya says trying to make her feel better.
“It’s fine, we should be used to this they’ve been doing it our entire lives!” Lin laughs as she sits up, facing Kya.
“What do you mean, ‘our whole lives’, since when?”
“Do you not know?!” Suyin joins in the conversation.
“No?!” Kya says more confused than before.
“Me, mom and pretty much everyone have been bullying Lin about liking you since she was twelve and would follow you everywhere!” Su laughs, she truly loves torturing her sister.
“You didn’t follow me around we were best friends!” Kya laughs as she hugs Lin with one arm.
“Also I never had a crush on Kya!” Lin says pointedly at her sister while gesturing to the water bender.
Kya had accepted for a while now that Lin didn’t like her back, at least not the way she liked her but hearing her say it out loud just made it hurt worse.
Conversations died down and Pema and Tenzin announced they would be flying to nearby cities to try find something that Kya wasn’t entirely- or at all -paying attention to. But she started listening when they’d asked her to look after the kids for the day.
“All of them, all four of them?!” Kya asked almost pleading for the answer to be no. She loved those kids but she’d never watched Rohan before, he was a baby they needed special care or something. They just cry, you don’t know when or why or how to stop it but they’ll just cry.
“Yes all four of them,” Tenzin says looking back at his sister, this time it seemed like less of an offer or a question but more an order.
“If that would be okay with you,” Pema added but Kya still didn’t feel like she could say no. Especially not with all their little eyes looks at her.
“Please, Aunt Kya!”
“I’d love to spend the day with you!”
“Maybe you could teach me some water bending moves, I read that the best benders use bending styles from other nations to strengthen their bending!” Jinora says excitedly and how could Kya say so to that.
“Of course! As long as you teach me some air bending moves too.” Kya says high-fiving the children and taking Rohan from Pema’s arms.
Everyone parts going their separate ways leaving only Suyin and Lin. Su realised that she and Lin hadn’t had much time alone since she’d arrived but she also knew Lin wasn’t about to sit and talk with her so she had to trick Lin into getting loose.
Su laughed mentally, most siblings just talk they don’t need to consider drugging their sister. But then an idea hit her, get Lin to spar with her, she’d be loose enough to talk and she wouldn’t entirely be focusing on the conversation so she might let something slip. It was the perfect plan.
