A/n: Borra Month is here, at least in my book. So I will be posting my responses from my tumblr to my account here. I will be adding a new chapter each day for each new theme. They're meant to be one shots. Usually a drabble, sometimes something longer. If you do wish for me to continue, just give me a prompt or something.
Chapter One: Love is Like a Comfort Sweater.

Within the halls of the pro bending arena, Bolin and Korra passed each other only a few times a day. Usually they just gave one another a simple greeting or a smile. Sometimes they'd even playfully salute to one another. Things between them weren't complicated, in fact they were often the most relaxed around one another. Around the other, they didn't have to pretend to impress or anything like that. Korra could be herself, confide in him, share her worries and fears. She could then have a belching contest with him over dinner. Bolin could talk to Korra about his family's past and his personal qualms with Mako. And then he could play with his chopsticks and pretend to be a walrus. The two were never unhappy to see the other, it seemed more like they were friends from a previous life. Maybe that was it, why whenever they were together things were so casual and freeing. Like nothing else mattered, like there wouldn't be any judgement, only love and acceptance. And hugs, they shared great hugs and laughter. But in the halls of the arena, they just smiled because even that was a wonderful exchange.
