Rating: PG, maybe one or two that are barely PG-13
Warning[s]: None, except the prompts are out of order, so apologies if that annoys anybody.
#49 - Hair
He remembers finding her huddled in the wreckage of her home and covered in the blood of her people; the first time he heard her speak she had sobbed, “They cut off my hair…” and he knew she meant, They couldn’t even leave me that.
#32 - Confusion
Not once since they had met had he been unable to understand her and her silly habits, but as she sat there blushing and crossing her legs, he began to wonder just what that Water Tribe girl and Smellerbee had talked about.
#11 - Name
In response to his pointed stare she hisses, “I don’t remember it”; it’s a lie, but he pats her head and says a single word (is it even a real word?) and just like that it sticks.
#13 - Death
This can’t be how it ends, they think as they place the body of their leader into the water and watch him slowly sink.
#18 - Speed
“Too slow,” he’ll say every now and then, and though she outwardly sighs, she finds herself wanting to smile as well, knowing that hours of training lay ahead.
#23 - Hands
Smellerbee had never been the type to care about looks-but when his soft hands took hold of her calloused ones, a small part of her wondered what he saw in her.
#31 - Home
“Every day,” she sighs; “…Sometimes,” he mumbles; yet, they know that losing their homes brought them to each other, and that makes it all hurt just a little bit less.
#02 - Kiss
He’s been gone so long and she wishes her damn dreams would stop taunting her.
#03 - Soft
His lips barely touched hers, soft enough to ensure she wouldn’t stir… but he couldn’t help wishing she would wake up.
#33 - Fear
They would never stop being on edge, waiting for everything and everyone to disappear again.
#35 - Bonds
They were made for each other-she is his voice, he is her conscience-and without one, the other would surely be lost.
#25 - Devotion
Their hatred and desire for revenge is what first brings them together-it’s something altogether nicer that keeps them that way.
#01 - Comfort
"I don’t care if they’re comfortable, wear your own clothes!” is possibly the longest sentence he has ever said to her.
#15 - Touch
Every now and then he pats her head in an eccentric display of affection, and she finds herself arching into his touch each time.
#22 - Jealousy
It’s childish, the way he feels whenever he sees her go off with Jet-the words I found her first disgust him.
#40 - Innocence
It’s been so long since the sight of a dead body frightened them.
#21 - Life
They’re in Ba Sing Sei now, living completely different lives in a completely different world… but then they hear a bird chirp too loudly, too out of place, and they find themselves longing to reply.
#24 - Taste
They’re terrible (Smellerbee is far more gifted in the art of fighting), but if he could eat her meals every day for the rest of his life, he gladly would.
#05 - Potatoes
Potatoes are one of the few things that make the two friends remember that they come from completely different worlds-Longshot calls them the “apples of the earth” and savors them; she calls them peasant food and chokes on them.
#09 - Telephone
That one day she could whistle into the forest and not hear his cat owl response always scares her.
#10 - Ears
He serenely steps between her and the man, tells her to cover her ears and turn away; when all is done he touches her shoulder again, but when she turns to look, the man is gone.
#07 - Chocolate
“Why would I want to eat something that looks like animal dung?” she argues as he rolls his eyes.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
He is lightening, and she is thunder: wherever he may go, she is quick to follow.
#12 - Sensual
He looks away-he can’t stand seeing her act like that with someone else.
#39 - Smile
The first time she sees him smile is of her own doing: she tackles him to the ground and, taking advantage of his shock, forces the corners of his lips up with her own hands; “Oh, so that’s what it looks like.”
#26 - Forever
Sometimes, they wondered how long it would take to forget his face, just as they had forgotten everyone else’s.
#08 - Happiness
She hugs him from behind one day for no real reason at all, grinning into his back and saying, “I’m glad that I know you, Longshot.”
#42 - Clouds
In her dreams she sees the black fumes rising, rising, rising… and awakens to his touch, eyes begging for answers that she isn’t ready to give.
#17 - Tears
“No, I’m not,” she defends herself, swatting her bangs so they hide her eyes.
#48 - Waves
He presses his lips to hers, breathes, and moments later she is up and coughing; he hits her harder than necessary on the back, eyes narrowed and searing into her own, silently saying, Never, ever do that again.
#19 - Wind
Longshot raises an eyebrow at her, which in his language means, Now that’s not very ladylike, but Smellerbee just grins and says, “When have I ever been very ladylike?”
#06 - Rain
It is cold, wet, and dark, and she’s so very tired; he catches her before she collapses into the mud, pulls her effortlessly into his arms, and continues on.
#20 - Freedom
“No,” he hisses, and when she turns to run, he grabs her by the arms and slams her into the wall; “I said no.”
#16 - Weakness
She asks him if he has any-a weapon he’s poor with, a bad knee, a fear of small spaces-but he only smiles and flicks her nose; “Just you, ‘Bee.”
#27 - Blood
Waking up in a pool of red and feeling an intense pain in her stomach, of course she began to yell.
#28 - Sickness
“The sickness and blood are… related,” he begins to explain as he repeats the words of the doctor, a deep blush rising in his cheeks.
#36 - Market
“I’m done with seeing everything but never being able to have it,” Smellerbee mutters to Longshot as she pockets apples and jewels and scrolls; but then her eyes fall upon a family, and he begins to wonder if their own “family” would ever really be a good enough replacement.
#37 - Technology
“What’d you do to that bow to make it shoot so far?” she once asked him, and he replied, “I’ll teach you someday”; she never understood why the sentence had made her feel so warm.
#44 - Heaven
“We do everything together,” she sobs, holding his limp body even tighter; “It’s not fair-you’re not allowed to go anywhere without me!”
#45 - Hell
“Hell is other people,” he murmurs out of the blue, but after seeing the look on her face he smiles down at her and rests his hand on her head, adding a silent, Except for you, of course.
#38 - Gift
Boys were never any good at remembering important occasions, and she had never felt hurt when holidays and birthdays passed without so much as a kind word; but when she woke up and found the crooked knife awkwardly wrapped in a plain box, she looked out her window and wondered why he had to be so different.
#29 - Melody
His heartbeat was just about the most beautiful thing she had ever heard (he’s still breathing he’s still alive).
#14 - Sex
Things like that didn’t matter, why didn’t she just keep it short, it looked so nice that way, he liked her just the way she was-“Just because you realize I’m a girl doesn’t mean other people do!”
#46 - Sun
As she huffs and secures the large t-shirt around her head (sunstroke, he had murmured as he pulled it off and tossed it to her), she wishes that he would look out for himself more often.
#04 -Pain
“It doesn’t hurt,” she says over and over (though her eyebrows are furrowed and her jaw is clenched and there’s blood everywhere), and he wishes that she could stop being a warrior and just for once be a small, injured, frightened girl.
#30 - Star
“And there’s the Archer,” she says with a grin, one hand reaching up in the air to trace the stars, adding, “He was always my favorite.”
#43 - Sky
They both remember the sight of a violent sky, black with smoke and death, red with fire and blood.
#47 - Moon
He thumps her over the head with his bow and gives her a disapproving look; “What? If you aren’t gonna let me hit anybody…”
#50 - Supernova
For the first time in their lives, there is doubt-they could get separated, they could fail, they could die-and yet they run in with triumphant smiles, knowing that at least they have the chance of going out with a bang.
#41 - Completion
When he arrives, she’s already there, leaning against a tree and whistling like a bird-“Finally, I’ve been waiting forever,” she says, and taking his hand, they go together.
