Clueless | Kya x Lin |

#12 - „what are we?"

Throwback: ages: Lin 33 | Tenzin 34 | Pema 18

Tenzin was telling the acolytes legends about gurus as he was leading them through the halls of the Air Temple. When they left, they sat down before the entrance of dormitories where Tenzin told the ending of the legend. Lin got out and leaned against the doorframe watching her boyfriend engaging in conversation with a few of the young acolytes. Especially with one girl that was in her late teens who kept on asking him a ton of questions and was looking at the airbender with an amount of adoration that made it clear she most likely had a crush on her teacher. When Tenzin looked away Lin took an opportunity and threw a small rock at the girl what caused her to look at the earthbender. Beifong motioned her hand from her eyes to the girl with a gesture that meant 'I'm watching you'. The young girl immediately looked down and stopped asking questions about what made Tenzin end the lecture.

„I thought you were never going to finish,” Lin said walking up to Tenzin.

„This group just happens to be particularly talkative”. Airbender pulled Lin into a quick kiss. „You should meet them. They are my most promising students” he offered.

„I think I'll pass”

„One dinner. If you don't like it, I'll never make you do it again”

„Fine” Lin rolled her eyes. „But you'll have to make up for it anyway” she teased and grabbed Tenzin's hand leading them back inside.

When they were upstairs in the dining room of the dormitories Tenzin led Lin to the table where a few teenagers were sitting. „Do you mind if we join you?” Tenzin asked.

„It would be a pleasure, master Tenzin” the oldest looking guy answered. Lin and Tenzin sat down next to him and on the other side, there were three girls, one of them being the girl that Lin hit with the rock before.

„As you could figure out by the armor this is Lin Beifong, Republic City's Chief of Police that I have a luck to call my partner, and Lin, those are my best students Pema, Mori, Ju, and Tao” Airbender introduced them.

„It's a pleasure, Chief Beifong” Pema said bowing slightly.

„Yeah, it is,” Lin said unbothered.

For the rest of the dinner, Lin was mainly quiet because every time she was about to say something Tenzin could sense it was going to be some sort of sarcastic comment so he kept her quiet by squeezing her thigh. Later, they made their way to Tenzin's room, finally being left alone.

„You didn't seem particularly fond of my students...” Tenzin sighed.

„I won't lie when I say that sitting there listening to you talk with a teenager that makes puppy eyes every time you open your mouth isn't my dream come true” metalbender rolled her eyes.

„Puppy eyes? Lin, are you jealous of one of my students?” airbender frowned.

„No, not jealous” she protested. „It's just an observation. Annoying one”

„I don't even know which one you are talking about”

„This Pema girl... I mean, I don't blame her but you're like twice her age”

Tenzin chuckled and walked up to Lin. „You should stop worrying about this,” he said placing a kiss on her forehead.

„I already told you I'm not worried” Beifong rolled her eyes.

„And the moral of the story is: don't trust men when they tell you not to worry about someone” Kya chuckled. „Or don't trust men in general. No offense, Kai” she added.
