Hey guys Aislynn here! I've always wondered what Bolin would be like in a relationship, so this is what my crazy mind came up with. I do not own Legend of Korra(this applies to the whole story). I only own my OC, Hariti, and her father. This is not a one shot but will be a story full on romance, drama, and comedy(so says every teen movie/book ever made). I hope you like this chapter as much as I loved writing it.
Couples. They are probably the grossest people one can be around. At first it's cute with the couple names and the holding hands but as time goes on it just starts to get annoying. At least that's what Bolin thought as he walked around Republic City trying to get away from his brother and his girlfriend. To make matters worse Bolin still had a crush on his brother's girlfriend.
Korra was the new Avatar. She could kick anyone's butt and not take smack talk from anyone. She also had a funny and kind side when it came to Bolin. He still felt butterflies in his stomach whenever Korra talked to him. But this was why Bolin was walking. He had to forget those feelings.
Mako was one of the bravest people Bolin knew. Since their parents had died, Mako had been looking after Bolin. He got in a couple of fights and sometimes went without food because of Bolin. He was glad to see his brother happy but it still hurt whenever he thought of them together.
Bolin smacked himself across the face. "Get it together Bolin. You can do this. It's only a girl." Bolin said to himself. Bolin had been distracted lately with the whole 'defeat Amon before he takes your bending away.' But it had been two weeks since they had defeated him and Boling didn't know what to do with himself. Whenever Korra and Mako went on a date, Bolin would distract himself with helping rebuild the city. He had run out of construction jobs to do. They had finished rebuilding the Probending Arena but the season was over.
Bolin sighed as he walked into a crowded market place. He was craving some Southern water tribe noodles but he wasn't sure which way the restaurant was. He had been there a million times but he had not been to this part of the city before. He looked at all the stands as they sold different kinds of fruit and meat from all over the world. He was staring at some Papaya when he spotted Korra and Mako across the market place. Bolin quickly turned on his heels and turned in the other direction.
"Bolin!" Korra called his name from across the market place. Bolin pretended not to hear her and continued walking.
"Hey little bro! Wait up!" He heard his brother called. Bolin quickened his pace as he weaved in and out of the stalls. He couldn't use his earthbending in such a crowded place. He turned sharply on one corner and faced a group of men carrying large boxes. "Whoa!" Bolin yelled as he swerved out of the way. Unfortunately he tripped over a tipped over barrel and landed in a fountain. The fountain wasn't too deep as Bolin found himself sitting in it. He spit some water out of his mouth and heard people laughing at him. One laugh stuck out from the rest. "Are you okay?" The laughing voice said.
A beautiful girl stood in front of him. She had long dark brown hair that was partly braided down her back and had the famous 'hair loopies' going behind her ears. She had pale skin and bright blue eyes. She wore a light blue tunic with a brown rope tied at the waist. The tunic went past her knees letting black leggings beak out underneath. She wore brown fur boots that the leggings were tucked into. She looked like a typical water tribe girl expect without the 'Eskimo tan' as Korra once referred to it as.
Bolin realized at that moment that he was staring at the girl in front of him. He stood up in the fountain and tried to look tough. "Yeah you I just like to go for a swim in the fountain every day." He said trying o sound cool. As he said this a wet Pabu climbed out of his shirt, where he had been taking a nap, and shook his wet fur. Both teens blocked their faces from the water. "Pabu!" Bolin yelled.
The girl laughed again. "What a cute fire ferret. I haven't seen one since I was a little kid." The girl reached a hand to Pabu. He sniffed it lightly then climbed onto the girl's shoulders. He licked some of the water off of her cheeks. "Pabu! Be nice to strangers!"
The girl laughed again and held Pabu in her arms. "I don't mind." Bolin stepped out of the fountain and tilted his head. "So," he took a step closer to the girl making sure not to get her wet. "What is your name stranger?"
The girl blushed lightly. "I'm-"
"Hariti!" A voice boomed behind them. The girl squeezed her eyes shut and winced. "Uh Oh." She whispered. She turned her head and yelled. "Coming Daddy!" She handed Pabu back to Bolin.
"I'm sorry I have to go. It was nice meeting you…"
"Bolin." Bolin said with a smile.
"Bolin." The girl said. It made Bolin's heart beat quickly. "Hariti!" The voice yelled again. The girl rolled her eyes. "I said I'm coming!" She yelled back. She turned to Bolin and waved. "Well Goodbye!" She turned and headed in the opposite direction.
"Wait will I ever see you again?!" Bolin called. Hariti turned and smiled. "Maybe!" She gave a wink and ran toward a man wearing earth kingdom clothing. He seemed more formally dressed up then Hariti. It wasn't a strange sight for two people of different nations to be related but the sight looked strange to Bolin. The two people hardly looked like one another.
"Bolin why did you run away?" Bolin heard his brother saw behind him. "Why are you all wet?" his brother asked. Bolin felt the water be pulled off of his body and into the fountain. He turned and thanked Korra for drying him off. He turned back to where Hariti stood but she was gone.
"Bolin who were you talking to?" Korra asked.
"The most beautiful girl in the world." Bolin said in a dreamy voice.
"This week." Mako commented. Bolin stuck his tongue out at his brother.
"This one is different." Bolin said.
Mako put his arm around his little brother. "You'll forget all about her when I buy you some Southern Water Tribe Noodles."
Bolin's eyes lit up. "Let's go!" He ran ahead of them to the nearest noodle stand. "But I'll prove you wrong Mako! She will be different!" Bolin said as he stuck his tongue out at them again.
Korra laughed and she held hands with Mako. "Well that was interesting." She said. "Bolin must have a thing for water tribe girls."
Mako kissed her lightly on the lips. "There's something about those water tribe girl's."
