A/N: So I recently finished watching season 2 of Legend of Korra and fell in love with Desna. Since there aren't too many yaoi fanfics of him out there, figured I'd just make one myself. The idea hasn't fully developed yet but hopefuly I'll get more ideas along the way. Enjoy! Also, I don't remember the exact words the used in Korra so Im just making this up from memory.
The Wrong Twin
Chapter One : The Beginnings
Bolin was ecstatic. After many rounds of losses with his new Fire Ferrets, he was finally ready to take a break and enjoy the Glacier Spirit Festival with his brother Mako and friend Korra. Upon arriving at the South Pole, Bolin spied groups of people surrounding the ship they arrived on. Korra, having spied her parents, jumped off the ship to greet her father and mother.
"Dad I missed you!" cried Korra before hugging her father. As Mako walked up, Korra suddenly turned to pull him in closer. "Dad, you remember Mako." Mako stood nervously and he stuck out his hand for a shake. Tonraq eyed the skinny boy before threatening him. Bolin, still aboard the ship found Pabu resting on Naga's head as usual.
"Pabu let's go!" The red ferret lifted it's head before spotting his owner and scurrying up his leg to rest on his shoulder. Bolin promptly left the ship in search of Korra and his brother.
"Look at all these people who came to greet us!" He exclaimed excitedly.
"Actually, they came to greet them." Korra said, pointing to a giant blue ship emblazoned with the symbol of the Northern Water Tribe. Curiously, Bolin gazed as the ship hit the pier and a rial was set. A man and two girls descended from the ship.
"The great chief of the northern water tribe comes to greet us with his presence, hurray..." Tonraq angrily bit out. His wife, Senna, stood by his side and patted his arm sympathetically. Bolin, however, was too entranced by the twin girls to have noticed Tonraq.
"Woah... Who are the lovely ladies?" Bolin catcalled. Korra smirked at him before replying.
"That's Eska and Desna, they're my cousins. And Desna is a boy."
"Oh... I knew that..." Bolin sheepishly said. He turned his attention back to the twins. "And which one is Desna?" Before Korra could respond, Uniloq strode forward.
"It is good to see you again Avatar Korra." He bowed. He faced Korra's father before harshly biting out. "Tonraq..."
"Brother..." Tonraq replied. Silent tension ran between the two siblings before Tenzin finally stepped in and walked away with them. Boulin fixated his attention back towards the twins who finally noticed him and whispered to each other. His concentration was jolted though as Asami yanked on his arm for his attention.
"Bolin can you accompany me please?" She asked. Bolin turned his head to glimpse at the twins, realizing they both had disappeared.
"Yeah sure, what do you need?"
-TWT-
Bolin was confused out of his mind. In front of him sat a man in a purple coat with fingers at his temple, in intense concentration.
"Did you see that!" Bolin jumped from the sudden outburst. "Levitation!" The ring of people who sat around the purple man exclaimed in pleasure and clapped for the man.
"Wow that was amazing!" They exclaimed. The purple man took deep bows to his audience.
"But, it looked like you were just sitting on a pillow." Bolin suddenly said. His voice rang among the small room and everyone gasped at his outburst. Asami slammed her head into her palm. The purple man looked up angrily and marched over to Bolin.
"Are you saying... I WASN'T levitating?" He asked cautiously. Bolin was nervous as Pabu ran down his shirt in fear. He looked around for help but found none in the eyes of the audience. Asami waited nervously for his response.
"uh... um... no?" He finally said. The purple man continued to glare at him before he looked back at the audience.
"Well why didn't anyone tell me! Now I look like an idiot! Swami your fired!" He pointed at an old man on the pillow next to his. The old man glared at Boulin with eyes that pronounced revenge before silently leaving the room. Bolin gulped nervously as he sweated out guilt for being the cause of a man's lost job. The purple man suddenly swung his arms around Bolin into a death grip.
"I like you kid , you're just like me! Ms. Sato, I see you brought your tiger shark to do business huh?" He shoved Bolin into a pillow seat as Asami obediently followed behind. Julie brought out tea for the guests as the rest of the audience evacuated the room. Asami sent Bolin a look of gratitude before beginning her business talk with the purple man.
"Thank for meeting with me Mr. Varrick, as you know, Future Industries is looking for a partner..."
-TWT-
Bolin inwardly gagged at the antics between his brother and Korra. They were at the festival, lovingly feeding each other cotton candy. Although it was a disgusting site to see, Bolin couldn't help but be a little jealous at the relationship they had. He, too, wanted someone to cherish and love. He glanced around the street until his eyes hit one of the twins standing alone. His face brightened and he gave Mako his food before straightening out his appearance.
"Wish me luck!" then ran off happily to the twin. As he neared the lone twin, he straightened his back and walked up to the twin.
"Hey, you're Eska right? Im friends with Korra." He stuck out his hand to shake but was met with empty air. The twin inwardly laughed at the foolish boy who mistook him for his sister.
"I'm Desna." He said stoicly. He glanced at the hand and thought about all the filthy things the man must have touched. Desna felt a presence behind him and sighed with relief when his sister rejoined his side.
"Desna, who is this man who looks like a turtle duck?" Eska inquired.
"I do not know Eska. But he thinks that being friends with our cousin Korra is an astonishing feet." Desna replied.
"Uh... Hey Eska, I'm Bolin!" He stuck out his hand again only to have the same result as the last time. "So um.. I'm digging these robes of yours!"
The twins turned to glare at him impassively without uttering a word.
"Uh... so.. you guys are from the North right? Cool, thats like my favorite direction!" Bolin tried again. Desna turned to his sister confusedly.
"I think he is trying to establish some sort of bond with you based on your geographic origin." Eska turned back to her brother and spoke as if Boulin did not exist.
"Perhaps it would be interesting to spend time with a person who is rough and uncultured." She turned to face Bolin with an evil grin. "You amuse me, I will make you mine."
Bolin became hopefully as he asked his next question.
"You mean like a boy friend? Or a slave?" He asked, twiddling his two fingers.
"Yes, win me prizes." Eska demanded. She grabbed the coat of her new "boyfriend" and dragged him off to a booth. Desna watched as his sister began to break in her new toy before following closely behind.
'Well that could have gone better.' Bolin thought.
-TWT-
Later on that night, Eska and Desna were in their shared room getting ready for bed.
"My feeble turtle duck may not be so bad. He certainly comes in handy." Eska gestured toward the mountain of plush toys Boulin won for her.
"I would be carefull if I were you sister. He is still the Avatar's friend. If you break him too much, the Avatar surely will be devastated and father will be angry at us for ruining his plans." Desna warned cautiously. Eska said nothing as she silently combed her hair then switched off the lights to their room. Both twins crawled to their respective beds to sleep. Desna layed there as he was engulfed in silence and darkness. Soon enough, he heard the soft blow of air, signaling his sister had fallen asleep. Desna thought about the day and about the bond forming between his sister and Boulin. Although he was happy that his sister would not be bored during their stay at the south pole, he couldn't deny his silent amusement when Bolin mistook him for Eska. With Bolin on his mind, Desna soon followed his sister and fell into a deep slumber.
A/N: Ok so that is first chapter. I might change the title later, I'm not sure yet. This is just the beginnings of their relationship. Anyways, reviews are appreciated whether good or bad!
