Korra was anxious waiting in the icy weather. Her hair blew furiously behind her, and her bones had a slight chill. Bolin marched through the fierce snow to Korra. He was huffing and gasping for air. Korra placed her hands on her hips. She waited for Bolin to acknowledge her. Bolin pulled the zipper on his jacket. He wrapped his arms around his body and exhaled a long cold breath.
"Korra" he huffed. "Mako went off went Asami" he sighed then shivered again. Korra clutched her fists. A few tears rolled down her checks.
"Korra I'm sorry." Bolin said sadly. A cold breeze blew over. Snow covered Bolin's hair. He shook it off and shivered again. "Can we finish this conversation in a warmer place?" Bolin asked in a squeaky voice. "I can't take much of this cold."
Korra wiped away her tears with the back of her gloves. She motioned Bolin to follow her. She dragged her way across the frozen ground. Her boots made an ice pile, she pushed it to the steps of her home. Bolin shoved pass her into the house. Bolin fell to his knees, he placed his hands over the fire. Korra took off her jacket and threw it onto the floor. She slumped down next to Bolin.
"I'm sorry. Ya know my brother is a jerk." Bolin said.
"I thought maybe that me and him could have a solid relationship. He told me he loved me, but he went back to Asami." Korra stared into the fire. "I was wrong to ever think otherwise. He is a typical guy!" The fire roared a little. Korra's eyes watered, she jumped to her feet and paced back and forward. "Guys like Mako always go after the pretty girl who always wears too much make-up. The girl whose hair bounces like a rubber ball. The same girl whose body is a perfect hour glass figure. I'm not that girl and I don't know why I thought he liked me the way I was!" Korra leaned against the wall and slid down slowly. Bolin crawled over to Korra. He wrapped his arm around Korra's shoulders. Korra laid her head against Bolin's chest.
"Sometimes I wish that I can find someone that understands me." Korra whined.
"I understand you. You can always talk to me." Bolin hugged Korra. He kissed her on her forehead. Korra Blushed.
"You are always there for me." Korra rubbed her face again Bolin's chest. "You actually listen to me unlike Mako. You two are brothers, but nothing alike. I don't know why girls don't chase you." Korra shut her eyes, she relaxed herself in Bolin's arms. "If he wants Asami, he can have her." Korra sighed. Bolin was charmed, by Korra's compliments. Bolin for once in his life was better than Mako. The avatar was calm in his arms. He leaned into her and pressed his lips against hers. Their was a lack of communication and a bit of a struggle. Bolin didn't let go. He pushed her chest against his. Korra stopped trying to fight him. She kissed him back. She forced him against the wall and put his hands around her waist. A cold breeze blew and Tenzin rushed in. He jumped in surprise but didn't say anything to stop them. He waited a couple of seconds, he cleared his throat. Korra that was now on top of Bolin jumped to her feet.
"Bolin!" Tenzin said in a confused voice. He had thought the avatar was with Mako, but they were teenagers and teenage love didn't last long. To kill the awkward moment Tenzin continued. "I wanted to know, is there a place right now I can purchase those delicious fish sticks we had the other night?"
"Oh" Korra looked at Bolin. His face was red with embarrassment. He turned his head and stared at the blank wall. "Polar Mart."
"Yeah, that's the name! Your mother told me so but she told me to ask you to make sure that it was correct. " Tenzin was excited. He rushed out the door so fast the cold didn't freeze the house as it did before. Korra looked at Bolin.
"I'm going to help Tenzin." She pulled on her coat and rushed out the door. Bolin sat in a corner banging his head against the wall.
Korra quickly ran to find Tenzin. She didn't know what he saw. He just left. She didn't want him to bring it up to Mako or anyone else. It was her moment of weakness and she needed him to understand. She panicked, then she saw Tenzin walk out of the Polar Mart.
"Tenzin!" Korra yelled. She ran up to him. His face was stuffed with food. He gulped it down and tried to keep a calm attitude.
"Korra, fancy seeing you here." He took another bite of food.
"Tenzin, please listen. What happened back there. I don't know what came over me." Korra shrugged.
"I don't have any idea what you're talking about." Tenzin said.
"So we are going to act like this never happened."
"What happened?"
"Thank you Tenzin." Korra jogged away. She was relieved that was something less she needed to worry about. Korra joyfully entered the house again. Bolin was crying in a fetal position. Korra rolled her eyes.
"Get up." Korra pulled Bolin to his feet but he sunk down. She inhaled a deep breathe and cracked her knuckles. She air bended him to his feet. Bolin was uncertain, he screamed. Korra let him down and he made a thump on the floor. "Bolin" she laughed. "Tenzin is keeping, hush hush."
Bolin's face lite up in delight.
"He is? You didn't hurt him did you?" Bolin said.
"No, but him and I have a neutral agreement."
"Cool, now Mako won't roast me on a stick."
Korra knew that Mako would be beyond angry, if he knew that her and Bolin had a makeout session at Korra's house. It wasn't that she was in love with him, he was just there for her. She was tired of him flipping back and forward between her and Asami. It was almost easy to say her had two girlfriends.
Korra made her way back to Republic City to continue her training. Tenzin treated her no different than he had before, but when Mako's name came onto topic he would change the subject back to her training. Korra felt guilty that she practically made Tenzin keep her dirty laundry under raps.
