He remembered how the little girl had skipped happily from a piece of floating ice to another. Her short messy hair looked silly, and her grin was silly, but he had been at that point too once when he was a child. He remembered standing there watching her from behind a big block of ice where he lived, he remembered his heartbeats going wild when she suddenly turned around and changed course, heading towards his home.
She remembered how she was mesmerized by the sight of the broken giant iceberg – the sunlight touched it in a different sort of way, gentler, somehow only giving its best light for it, somehow trying to make the beautiful iceberg a crystal. She loved the way blue and white merged together with soft gold. She loved its blurry reflection of her.
And she loved how her own reflection smiled and said, "Hey, Korra."
She gasped in awe, like she had just found a world full of cookies and candies all for herself. "Hello."
He remembered how her tiny hands had darted forward in curiosity and made contact with one that looked exactly like her own. But it wasn't enough. She kept pushing her hands through that invisible barrier between his world and hers, trying to clasp her hand with her reflection's. He remembered how she knew that it was never going to work and yet she continued anyway.
When the little girl stopped pushing her hand, her reflection gave her a sympathetic smile, before offering her the other hand. Their hands met, and even though she couldn't feel anything but ice, she gave back a sweet soft smile as an offer of friendship.
Which he took happily.
Her own reflection changed into one of an older boy with gray eyes and raven black hair in a black fire nation outfit, a red headband was covering his forehead.
Somehow she wasn't surprised to see her own smile on his lips.
"I'm Kuzon."
Korra wasn't surprised either when she, without conscience or any idea what it meant, said, "I know."
They were back to the start.
A/N: Thanks for reading. This flash fic is dedicated to my sadness due to the lack of Aang/Korra interactions in LoK.
They went penguin sledding after that, okay, you can't tell me otherwise!
