"Opal! Look out!" Bolin yelled, pulling her close as he bent up a large barrier to protect the two of them from a firebender's continual fireblast. The pair caught their breath for a moment before looking at each other and formulating a plan.
"If you can distract that firebender, I can take out the earthbender," she said in a firm tone.
"What about the other firebender?" Bolin asked, eyes darting nervously to the flames that ricocheted off the front of their earth shield on either side of them.
"Uh, team up to get him?" his girlfriend's confident tone faded as the rock Bolin held up with his bending was slowly being blasted away by fire.
"'Sgood a plan as any," Bolin barked. "On three!"
Opal nodded and unsnapped the wings of her glider suit.
"One...two...three!"
Bolin blasted what still remained of the giant rock at the source of the firebending blaze. The flames let up as the firebender (and the other firebender behind him) scrambled out of the way of the giant piece of earth. At the same time, Opal backflipped into the air and shot herself directly at the earthbender girl who had instigated the entire attack. She tackled the earthbender at the waist and tried to lift her off the ground, but the girl held strong and managed to throw Opal to the ground.
The first firebender got up and began firing short bursts of flames at Bolin, who dodged a few as he turned the earth below the firebender's feet to lava. As the firebender stumbled backwards to avoid being burned, Bolin protruded a few rocks to further trip him up and the man flopped over backwards, hitting his head so hard on the ground he was knocked out.
Opal stood up just in time to dodge two giant boulders the woman hurled at her, and the airbender countered with a strong gust of wind that knocked the earthbender back a few feet. Opal shot another wind blast at the earthbender and the woman stumbled even more, but still fired a few large rocks with great force at Opal as she fell. Opal dodged the first two, but the third hit her and knocked her over. As the airbender hurried to get back on her feet, the earthbender advanced and kicked Opal's legs out from under her, and tackled her. Opal struggled but the woman got a hold of her arms from behind and had bent them to an incredibly painful position that caused the airbender to call out.
Opal's shouts caught Bolin's attention, turning his head away from the fight he was currently in with the other firebender just long enough to take a hit. The wind was knocked out of the earthbender's lungs as he hit the ground, and he could only slide slowly away from the firebender, who had grabbed him by the collar. The firebender reeled back his fist to punch Bolin square in the temple.
Her boyfriend's soft moan and the dull thud of his body hitting the ground were all Opal needed to hear to fight harder against her assailant.
"Bolin!" She yelled, curling her legs underneath her into a squatting position. She used a quick burst of air to jump ten feet into the air with the earthbender, who let go of Opal to fumble wildly in the air. Opal pushed the woman further away from her with another gust of wind, forcing the woman down to the ground with great force.
Opal landed softly on the ground beneath her and fired an air punch at the jaw of the firebender that was standing over her boyfriend. It knocked him over just long enough for Opal to reach Bolin and lift him onto her shoulder as she grabbed her bison whistle and blew into it. She stood up with her boyfriend, and moved away as quickly as she could, dragging his feet on the ground as the earthbender and firebender got up from the ground and began pursuing them.
Juicy appeared in the night sky as Opal continued to run away from their attackers. The skybison descended to the ground quickly, using her tail to blow the firebender and earthbender back with a torrent of wind. Opal airbended herself and her boyfriend up into the air to land on the bison, and Juicy took off just as soon as she had landed, carrying Opal and Bolin away to safety.
"Bolin," Opal said her Boyfriend's name loudly as she tried to shake him awake. He slowly opened his eyes before the reality of the situation registered in his brain.
"Opal!" He shouted after realizing they were riding her bison. "Are you okay? Those guys were crazy!"
"I'm fine, babe," she responded. "Are you okay?"
Bolin felt his face with his hand, wincing slightly as he touched the spot where he'd been hit. It was already swelling up.
"Uh, I think so. Thanks for saving my ass back there," He said, affectionately swiping his thumb across his girlfriend's cheek.
Opal smiled and leaned in for a quick kiss.
"We're not out of the woods yet," she said. "There's no way they won't come after us!"
"How in spirits did we get involved with a... what are they, a hit squad?" Bolin wondered aloud.
"That's exactly what they are, Bo! And you know what we did, that night at the circus."
"Oh, right. Well, we're fucked."
ONE WEEK EARLIER
Bolin rapped his knuckles three times on the door to his brother's apartment.
"Be there in a second! Please don't kick the door down again!" Mako's voice came from the other side of the door. Bolin laughed to himself for a moment as he imagined how many times Chief Beifong had kicked his door down before Mako felt it necessary to shout this every time someone knocked on his door.
"Hey little bro!" Mako greeted Bolin after opening the door, pulling him into a brief hug. Pabu chattered and climbed from Bolin's shoulders to Mako's during their short embrace. "I thought you were Beifong."
"I could tell."
Mako motioned for his brother to enter the apartment, and closed the door behind Bolin, who took a seat on the couch.
"So, what brings you to my place?" Mako asked as he sat down next to Bolin, scratching pabu behind the ears as the fire ferret cooed softly.
"I was hoping you could do me a favor," the earthbender returned.
"That depends," Mako said, crossing his arms. "What kind of favor?"
"Well, you know Opal's got the next few weeks off from her new air nation duties? I'm taking her out tonight, and I was wondering if you could watch Pabu."
"Why don't you just take him with you? Opal and Pabu love each other."
"I know that. It's just... uh, Opal and I haven't been able to... be alone... for a while now, and we don't like to... uh... be alone together... in front of him."
"Say no more," Mako said, putting up a hand. "Please, actually stop talking. I'll take care of Pabu for the night."
"Oh, but see, Mako," Bolin interjected, "I actually need you to take care of him for a few weeks."
"What? Why?"
"Because... Opal's here for a few weeks..." Bolin's cheeks were turning a faint shade of pink.
"Oh. Wow, bro," Mako said. "That's impressive. But I can't watch him that long! I'm a detective, remember?"
"Ooh, but Pabu's a great assistant! I bet he'll help you solve a lot of cases!"
"I'm not taking Pabu to work with me. Beifong would kill me," Mako reasoned. "Why don't you give Pabu to Korra? He could spend all his time with Naga."
"That," Bolin started, "is actually a much better plan than leaving him with you."
"You're welcome," Mako stated flatly.
"Can Opal and I just come get him tomorrow? We'll take him to Korra's. But I actually have to go, get ready and stuff. So I'm just gunna leave Pabs with you for now anyways."
Bolin leaned closer to Mako to give Pabu a short head scratch.
"Fine," Mako sighed. "But you better come get him! I don't want to leave him here all day, but I will if I have to go to work."
Bolin nodded.
"See ya later, Pabu!" he said, standing up off the couch. "Thanks a lot, big bro!"
"No prob, Bo," Mako said. "Be safe!"
Bolin shot Mako a look as he quirked an eyebrow as if to say, 'Really, Mako?'
The look Mako returned with said, 'Yes, really. I raised your stupid ass. Be fucking safe.'
"To us," Bolin said behind a genuine smile, clinking wine glasses with his girlfriend. They both paused to take a sip before setting their glasses back down on the table, staring at one another over their empty dinner plates.
"This place is beautiful, Bo," Opal commented, surveying the elegantly decorated earth cuisine restaurant her boyfriend had so carefully selected for her first night back in Republic City.
"I'm glad you like it, sweetheart," Bolin's grin seemed to grow wider with every passing minute. "Ready for dessert?"
"Ugh, too much kale," Opal responded. "I need some time to digest."
"Perfect. The mochi place I'd like to take you to is across the park."
"We're taking a walk through Avatar Korra Park?" the airbender smiled and finished her wine glass before adding, "You sap."
Opal hadn't realized how much she missed Bolin until she found herself being ushered out of the restaurant by Bolin's strong hand on her lower back. His laugh filled her senses, his genuine smile brought back a part of her soul she hadn't even realized was missing. Ever since he had helped her rescue her family from Kuvira, their relationship was stronger than ever.
As they strolled through the park arm in arm, Opal stopped suddenly.
"What's up, honey?" Bolin turned to look down at his girlfriend. His eyes caught her gaze just in time for her to grab his face and pull his lips down to hers. Opal dragged him back with her during the tender kiss until she was pressed up against the railing of the bridge they were crossing. Bolin wrapped his arms around her waist and allowed himself to be consumed in his girlfriend's spell of lust.
"You need to stop being so perfect," Opal said in a hoarse whisper between kisses. "It makes me miss you more when I'm gone."
Bolin responded to this statement by crashing their lips together for a forceful kiss.
"I could say the same thing to you," He said, standing up straight from their bought of kisses, his arms still wrapped around her in a warm embrace. "You ready for some mochi?"
Opal nodded with a tiny smile on her lips, and Bolin intertwined the fingers of one of his hands with hers to lead her off.
The rest of their walk was interspersed with reminiscing and laughter.
"What kind are you thinking?" Bolin asked beside her as they both stared at the list of treats on the counter of a small dessert shop.
"I'll take a green tea mochi, please," Opal requested from the man behind the counter.
"Ooh, and I'll have a strawberry one," Bolin chimed in as the man grabbed the couple's requested snacks.
After the earthbender paid for their mochi, he led his girlfriend back outside to start the walk back to his apartment.
"I have to admit, Bolin," Opal said after finishing her treat. "This has been a great date."
"It better have been! I've been planning this for weeks! I wanted it to be special, to celebrate the first night of our weeks in Republic City together," Bolin's long-winded response was accompanied with his characteristic facial expressions and hand gestures. Opal laughed.
As soon as they approached the front door of Bolin's apartment, Opal closed in. She pinned him up against his own door in a deep kiss as she pressed her hips to his. He grabbed her ass and pulled her in tighter. Their tongues tangled together in a series of heated kisses. After several minutes of this, the airbender finally pulled back.
"Can we go inside now?" she asked, and Bolin fumbled in his pocket for his keys.
He unlocked the door and his girlfriend let herself in, heading straight for the kitchen to make some tea.
"I love your new apartment," Opal said as she leaned over a counter to grab some containers of tea leaves. After closing and locking the door behind him, he turned around to watch his girlfriend pour some water into the tea kettle. She placed it on the stove and grabbed a match to light a flame beneath the kettle.
"Asami helped me set it up," the earthbender responded as he grabbed out two teacups and walked them to the small kitchen table. He motioned for Opal to take a seat, and she obliged.
Bolin approached another cabinet and grabbed a small jar with a lid on it. He then grabbed a spoon from a drawer and set the jar down on the table in front of his girlfriend, extending the spoon out to her with his hand.
"You know me too well, babe," she said with a smile on her face as she removed the lid. Opal dipped the spoon into the jar and coated it in honey before pulling it out and bringing the spoon back to her mouth. The airbender looked up at her boyfriend as she slowly sucked the honey off the spoon.
Something snapped in the usually docile earthbender standing before Opal. Bolin lunged at her and enveloped her mouth in his, lifting her up off her chair and onto the table in front of him. Opal dropped the spoon on the table in surprise.
"Spirits, Opal," he hissed between kisses. "You can't tease me like that after we've been apart for so long."
His mouth trailed down to her neck, showering it in wet, rough kisses. His hands worked their way around her hips and legs, pulling her closer to him.
"I can tease you however I'd like," the airbender said quietly as she reached her hands up to the bottom of Bolin's shirt, sliding her fingers under it and pushing the fabric up to expose his stomach and chest. He took the hint and broke his lip's contact with her neck just for a moment to take his shirt and dress jacket off. He quickly returned to her neck, one of his hands working its way under Opal's dress, trailing up her legs.
"I could say the same thing to you," Bolin said as he ran a finger over his girlfriend's wetness, prompting a soft moan from her lips. His mouth left a trail of kisses down to her chest, stopping short at the fabric that covered her breasts. He grabbed the edge of the fabric with his teeth and pulled firmly, exposing his girlfriend's nipple to the warm air of his apartment. The earthbender then traced his tongue up her now exposed breast and circled around the nipple.
"Oh, Bo," she breathed as his mouth worked on her breast and his fingers stroked her sex.
"You're so wet for me," he said with a smile into her chest. He inserted a finger into her, and another moan escaped Opal's lips. She moaned again as his mouth freed her other breast from her dress and showered it in attention as he started on a rhythm with his hand. He lightly bit her nipple and she yelped.
"You like that?" he prompted her, giving the same treatment to her other nipple while continuing to stroke her.
"Oh, yeah," she responded. "Mmm, Bo... use your mouth down there."
The words sent what felt like all the blood in his body to his penis.
"You want me to taste you?" He asked, a devilish grin splayed across his face.
"Yes, Bolin, please," she begged as his ministrations continued. The airbender scrambled to gather the fabric of her dress and pull it up as her boyfriend moved his head down between her thighs as he got to his knees, his lips making contact with her nether lips. He licked and sucked his way around her folds as he continued thrusting into her with his fingers.
"Aah! yeah, babe," the airbender continued a chorus of gasps and moans as her arousal grew more and more. Bolin's tongue found her clitoris and she cried out, flattening her back on the table beneath her. He swirled his tongue around the spot again and smiled to himself when Opal screamed again. She dug her nails into his scalp as he repeated the process again and again. Opal finally tumbled over the edge just as she heard the whistle of the tea kettle.
Bolin stood back up and crossed the kitchen to the kettle while his girlfriend caught her breath on top of his kitchen table. He brought the kettle back to her and poured the steaming liquid into each of the cups he had placed there earlier. After returning the kettle to its spot on the stove, he approached his girlfriend once more, stopping in front of her to lean over her and plant kisses up her body from her hips to her chest and halted at her lips.
The pair lost themselves in the kiss for a long while. When Bolin stood back up, the tea he had poured was no longer steaming. Opal accepted a cup from him as she sat up on the table. She picked the spoon back up and got a spoonful of honey to stir into the warm tea.
"So what other fun things do you have planned for my stay?" Opal asked with a smile. Bolin took a sip of tea.
"You mean, besides taking you to dinner and eating you out on my kitchen table?" He returned, his expression turning smug at the end of his statement. He waited for his girlfriend to humor him with a laugh before answering. "But really though, I got us tickets to the circus tomorrow night."
"I have the best boyfriend ever," Opal said flatly, earning her a quick kiss.
"Of course you do. That's why you're gunna join him in the bedroom," Bolin said as he took her hand and started to pull her away from the table. Opal laughed and followed him out of the kitchen.
