Tahno sighed loudly and checked the clock for the fifth in the last 10 minutes.

The Avatar was late.

He had told her nine am and, even though she whined it was too early and something about the morning being evil, she had promised to be there.

He looked around the empty gym and spotted a target for waterbenders on the far side of the room. He pushed himself off the bench he had been occupying and made his way towards the target. He balanced lightly on his feet, applying more weight to the balls of his feet so he could jump quickly if necessary, just like his father had taught him, and whipped two streams of water at the target, tearing it in half.

He smiled and froze as the sound of clapping filled the gym.

"Good job, swamp man." He heard a sarcastic voice say.

He whipped around and placed a hand over Korra's mouth, "Shhhhhh! Don't say that out loud! Someone might hear you!"

Her eyebrows rose incredulously and she pushed the hand off her mouth, "Whoa there, Leaf Skirt. Take a chill pill. It's just you and me. You did say 'Private' lessons."

He sighed and nodded. She smiled and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look into her eyes, black into blue. "You don't need to be ashamed of your background. I, for one, don't care that you lived in a swamp."

She kissed him as if to prove her point. Tahno pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. The parted and Korra burrowed her face into his lean chest.

He felt her smile and it filled him with a warm euphoria. She liked him! The Avatar. THE AVATAR liked him. A nobody from a small family in the Foggy Swamp with little to no money to his name and four championship trophies that just took up too much room in his small apartment.

"You know what?" she asked quietly, breaking Tahno out of his thoughts.

"What?"

"For a guy who wears guyliner you're not that bad of a kisser!"

So Tahno kissed her again.

A/N: I don't really like this ship. My friend does. You should follow her: .com! She's a spectacular artist!
