What We Used To Be
This is my attempted Linzin because they are my favorite pairing in the whole entire show of Legend of Korra. Even the best too!
Hope you guys love it!
Tears ran down her face.
"No, you're not the same anymore."
"I'm sorry!"
"No, no. You're not sorry at all."
"I didn't mean to. It's not my fault."
She sniffed. "Yes, it is your fault." Her teary red eyes blinked and tears fell down. Tenzin felt guilty. He never meant for this to happen but it just kinda did. There was no way he could've stopped this.
"We used to be the same. Now we're not anymore and it's all your fault." She rubbed her tiny nose with her sleeve.
"I'm sorry Lin, I really am." He looked into her eyes with a sincere look.
She shook her head. "We used to be the same height but you got taller. Now we can't look each other in the eyes anymore." She sniffed again.
Tenzin felt so guilty that he almost cried too. Unbeknownst to the little kids, Aang was watching the whole scene. He couldn't help but smile. They loved each other so much that a height difference would cause them to have a baby dispute among each other.
Aang walked up behind Lin and picked her up and she sobbed into his chest.
"Am I a bad boy now daddy?" Tenzin asked with tears in his eyes. He rubbed them away violently, he didn't even want to cry. It was his fault why Lin was crying in the first place. He didn't deserve to cry. That's what he thought.
"He was supposed to wait for me. We were supposed to grow up together." She whined to Aang. He kissed the top of her head and grabbed Tenzin's hand and walked over to Katara.
Katara looked at the scene before here and found it to be kind of humourous. Their tiny Tenzin crying because little Lin got sad that he was taller than her.
Tenzin shifted from one foot to another. "Am I going to be in time out?"
"No, of course not." His mother said and kissed his forehead.
"Why not? I made Lin cry. I should go in time out. I don't feel good." He frowned slightly and headed towards a corner that was the closest to them. He went and sat down in the small corner that fitted his tiny body perfectly. "Tell me when she forgives me." He said over his shoulder and banged his forehead against the wall.
Katara looked at the little curling ball in Aang's arms and smiled. She stuck out her hands to Aang, giving him the look that meant she wanted Lin. He handed her over to Katara as she walked to Tenzin, Aang following behind. She bent down and turned Lin in her lap so she could see Tenzin's back. Katara tapped her son's shoulder and he turned around. When he saw Lin's face he immediately looked away from her.
That little gesture of his made Lin tear up again. "He doesn't even want to see me anymore." She turned around and sobbed onto Katara's chest.
When Tenzin heard this he immediately turned around. "No. That's not true." He got up and circled around Katara and Lin, trying to make Lin look at him. "You were angry at me. I thought you didn't want to see me." He circled them again as Aang chuckled.
She peeked out and saw him but immediately went back to Katara's shirt, dirtying it with her snot and tears. He tapped her back but she didn't turn around.
"I'm sorry." He began to tear again.
'Aww, they always cry together.' Aang thought to himself. He believed that they were soulmates, though Toph didn't like to entertain that idea very much.
She turned around and met his teary eyes.
"You mean it this time?" She asked him seriously this time. He nodded his head eagerly at her, hoping that she would be convinced this time. She hopped out of Katara's lap and took Tenzin's hand in hers.
"Fine. I guess I forgive you then."
That was one thing Aang always loved about them. They were easy to cry and easy to forgive.
They held each other's hand and ran outside to play. Katara stood up and gave Aang a smile.
"Height huh?" Aang shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey, next they could be crying about birthdays too." She smacked the side of his arm teasingly as he faked trying to look hurt.
"What was that for?" He asked, though he partially knew that answer.
"Don't jinx it Aang!" She said and ran from him. He laughed at his wife and chased after her.
