Love in the Movers

Life Among Air

Your POV
I have been going back and forth about whether or not to call for an audition for the mover. I mean what are the odds I'd make the cut right! Even as just a side character, I mean there are probably tons of people calling in to audition tons of super talented people. Plus even if I made the cut how would I fit it in with all of my air bender training? I mean would Tenzin even allow me to be a mover star?

I am just pacing around in my room when I get a knock on my door.

"Hello? Auntie (Y/N)? Are you in there??" I hear Ikkie's voice on the other side, and I try to settle down my thoughts before I answer her.

"Ya I'm in here Ikki do you need me for something?" I call out to her.

"Well I was wondering if you would like to hangout and talk? You have been super busy lately with all your getting used to being an air bender and all that you haven't really talked with me a lot lately." I can hear her tone shift form excited to shy during her little question. I walk over and open the door to find a meek little Ikki on the other side. I open the door all the way and gesture for her to come on in. She smiles up at me then darts into my room. I shut the door behind me as I walk over to my bed and sit down.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" I pat the spot next to me as an invite for her to sit down, she dose so and lets out a huge sigh before plopping down onto her back. She is silent for a while which is unlike her.

"Auntie have you ever been in love?" She mumbles out after a bit. I plop down next to her on my bed and lay on my side facing her.

"I thought I was once but I later found out it wasn't." I look her in the eyes for a sec and raise an eyebrow "So..." I lean closer to her "Whos the lucky boy?" Ikki's face goes pink and she turns away from me.

"What if there not a boy?" She mumbles even quieter. My face splits into a huge grin and I practically tackle her.

"Then who is the lucky girl! You have to tell me I gotta know who captured my sweet cousin's heart!" She lets out a big smile while a tackle her and she mock fights me to try and escape.

"If you don't get off me I won't tell you!" I quickly hop of of her and sit on the floor crisscross applesauce like a small child waiting for a story at school. I nod in her direction telling her to continue. "Her name is Anita." Just the mention of this girl's name sends a huge blush across Ikki's face. "She asked me to help her work on some air bending techniques a few weeks ago, and well..." I lean forward silently encouraging her to keep talking. Ikki finally burst and just flew up out of my bed. "She kissed me yesterday! We were just finishing up our little study/training session out in the back part of the garden and she just pulled my in and kissed me on the cheek" she points to her right cheek "and then she air scootered away."

Ikki lands softly on the ground in front of me and let's put a dreamy sigh. She kinda spaces out for a bit before snapping back to reality and faces me. I stand up and engulf her in a hug.

"You are so cute!" I push her to arms length with my hand on her shoulders and I stare into her eyes. "You have to introduce me to this girl!" I say while starting her down. She nods frantically in agreement then hugs me back super tight.

"Of course I will (N/N) (nickname) thank you for letting me talk about it." She says to my chest.

"Of course Ikki. I'll always be hear to listen to you when you need me to." I say to her head. We pull apart after a bit and she looks up at me.

"So now that I've poured my heart out, do you have anything you wanna talk about?" I place my hand in my pocket where the paper with the number is mentally debate whether or not to mention it.

I sit back down on my bed and take my hand out of my pocket.

"Nah! Tell me more about Anita." I say as I cross my legs again.

Ikki goes on a huge rant about how she is so in love and how perfect Anita is. She paces my room a bit then sits and gets up and paces again. She repeats this pattern several times during her talk and she occasionally pauses to let me ask a question or go awwwww.

We hang out and she talks for roughly an hour or so before we release it's time for supper and we head out to the dining room together. When we get there she goes and sits with her friends and smiles at the girl next to her. Who I can only assume is Anita. I go to sit with my friends as well and we all make some small talk and eat.

When dinner is over I go outside to the main garden area, and practice some of my old Kyoshi warrior moves and incorporate my air bending with them. It's quite outside and it seems that no one else is out. I concentrate on the flow of my moves as I shift my weight and stance as I go. Training like this always helps me focus and relax. It feels like I'm more connected to the energy of the world when I practice my favorite fighting style. I can feel the rush of the wind go by me and I can feel it as I shift it's direction and form it how I wish. Being an air bender has only added to my life and my connection to the world.
