"Bo, just decide on an outfit already!"

With a brief upward glance, Bolin, clad in a white tanktop and boxers with a fire ferret pattern throughout, gave a long, overdrawn sigh.

"You can't rush perfection, Opal!" he shouted out the door. Now, the gray jacket with the green undershirt or the brown leather jacket he got from cosplaying the Rocketeer last year?

The sound of the bedroom door opening snapped Bolin out of his thought process. Turning his head, he found himself gaping. His girlfriend had gone simple and clean for tonight. She wore a forest green (at least, he assumed that was forest green. It was probably some other obscure girl-color name) summer dress accented with a similarly green floral pin on the right side of her hair. Rather than wear heels, Opal had decided on some flip-flops for comfort, though Bolin knew she would be taking them off immediately on arrival (or even during the car ride).

"Um… wow. You look great," he said blankly, standing up from the foot of the bed. Suddenly his fashion woes were gone from his mind.

Opal giggled. "Proof that perfection can be rushed, dear." She took a few strides and her soft lips were on his for a brief second. Before he could push forward into the contact, Opal had pulled away, hands clasped behind her back. She leaned over his shoulder to look at the bed. "You should go with the leather jacket."

"It's not that easy though!" Bolin nearly whined. "See, now that I know you're going green, I have all these…" he gestured wildly "issues!"

Opal sat herself on the edge of the bed, bending wisps of air into complicated spiral patterns. "Issues? This should be good." She ceased her bending and looked up at her boyfriend, her feet kicking back and forth like a kid, not quite reaching the floor. "Enlighten me, oh Blue Steeled one."

"Well," started the Earthbender, "Going with the leather means we've got this nice earthy feel-thing going on. But like, if I go with the gray and green, we'll both be wearing green and that'd be so," Bolin made a half-squeal that spoke more than actual words could convey. Opal sighed.

She started counting off on her fingers. "First, your gray slacks still have that hole in it from playing with Naga yesterday. Second, that leather jacket works well with the army green pants we got at the outlet store last week. Third, you can wear the green undershirt under the leather jacket as well. And fourth," and Opal made a grand gesture in revealing finger number four, "you should always wear what your girlfriend says you should wear."

Bolin stroked his chin thoughtfully. "You make a good argument," he replied thoughtfully. "I'll take the leather."

Opal stood up and gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek. "You have chosen wisely," she pleasantly chimed, walking out. "Now hurry up or we'll be late!"

Outside the bedroom, Opal heard a dinging notification from her laptop. She sat down at the kitchen table and unlocked the screen, pulling up the Facebook group chat labeled "Krew Kuts Vol 4: The Best of the Eaties and Nighties".
