Note: for the Tahnorra 30 Day Challenge on tumblr ^^. Takes place on episode 7: The aftermath

Korra hesitated before knocking on Asami's door. Instinct told her she had to be with him even though he said he was gonna be alright. That smile of his was still fresh in her mind but those silver eyes hinted otherwise. She backed away from the Sato Mansion and began to run.

After begging Chief Lin BeiFong for his address, she stared at the piece of paper in her hand to check if it was the right address. Her handwriting was a bit slopy and she couldn't make out the numbers. Lucky for her, one of the tenants came out and confirmed that this was his apartment.

The knock she gave caused the door to open and Korra peeked inside, searching for him.

"Tahno…?" She asked while closing the door. "Are you in here?"The place was a mess. Clothes were scattered all over the floor, newspapers were torn apart. Korra picked one up and saw his face. It was a picture of him Ming and Shaouzu after Amon had thrown them to the water. The headline was ripped and so was part of the article. She sighed and placed the newspaper on a table that was near by.

"Fuck!"

Korra looked up when hearing his voice. It was coming from the bathroom. She ran and found him leaning on the faucet. Tahno didn't even acknowledge her presence. His eyes were focused on the water.

"Tahno…" She took one step near him, fearing his reaction to her sudden intrusion. When he didn't look up, she tugged at his arm, forcing him to step away and lead him toward the couch. She took a seat next to him and gasped when she saw the bruises in his hand.

Her eyes were watery when she pictured him hitting the faucet just because he couldn't bend anymore.

Korra leaned towards him and rested her head on his chest, taking his hand in hers.

"You have to stop doing this to yourself." She said as her fingers gently brushed against the purple spots.

She looked at him and he nodded. Giving him a weak smile, her eyes returned to his hands.

He placed an arm around her and they just stayed that way for a while and must've fallen asleep because when he woke up, the moon's light iluminated the room. Tahno looked down at the sleeping figure of the Avatar. Their hands were still intertwined.

"Thanks ..Korra"

He pulled a blanket to cover her with his free hand and rested his head on hers.

For the first time since the incident, he didn't feel so alone.
