AN: Everyone is 10 years older! Bolin is 26, Jinora is 20!

Normal POV

Bolin was watching Jinora go through the spinning air gates, completely fascinated with her movements. It didn't matter that he'd seen her do this probably a hundred times over the 10 years he'd known Jinora, he was still was enthralled by the sheer grace of the airbender.

Jinora had seen Bolin watching her. In an attempt to impress him, she tried to add extra twirls to her movements, but after taking a second to gauge his reaction, lost her footing and was bounced from panel to panel until she was thrown out the other side. She tried to catch herself and almost succeeded until her ankle gave out on her and she fell to the ground.

"Ow!" yelped Jinora when she hit the ground.

Bolin POV

I heard her shout as she hit the ground and went running to her side.

"Jinora!"

She was cradling her leg and looked deep in pain.

"Jinora, are you okay?" I asked, concerned that she might have been seriously injured.

"Bolin, I'm fine I just…" she said as she attempted to get up.

"Jinora, you shouldn't stand on your…"

"Ow!" Jinora yelled as her leg gave out under her.

I was able to catch her before she fell again, thank the spirits.

"Bolin put me down!" Jinora shouted as Bolin scooped her into his arms.

"No way, if I put you down you're gong to try to walk on that leg again and hurt it even more probably already is," said Bolin beginning to walk towards the temple.

"Bolin I'm fine! Put me down!" said Jinora as she struggled to get out of his grasp. She was beginning to blush as she realized how close they were.

She and Bolin were friends and she had always had a crush on him, but 2 years before she realized that her feelings went even farther than she originally suspected.

Now, whenever that they were around each other, the blush would show up at the most inconvenient times. It was like it had a mind of its own and knew just when Bolin would be close enough to see.

Bolin saw the blush, but just figured Jinora was hot from working out. Bolin was thankful that in this instance he was taking after Mako and staying cool under fire. Though his outward appearance revealed nothing, the close proximity to Jinora was making his pulse race and he couldn't figure out why.

'It's just Jinora,' He thought, but then as he walked up the stairs to the temple, the afternoon sun hit her hair, making it look like she had a halo around her head.

"Wow," he whispered.

"What was that, Bolin?" asked Jinora.

"Nothing!" exclaimed Bolin, he thought he had said that in his head, not out loud.
