Bolin awoke early and kissed Asami on the nose. He tiptoed out of the room and back to his own to sleep a little longer without getting caught. On the way out of the women's dorms, he heard his name.

"Bolin!" called Mako from down the hallway. He closed the door to Korra's room and jogged to meet his brother at the exit.

"What are you doing here?" asked Bolin.

"I could ask you the same."

Bolin quickly made up a lie. "Pabu ran off and I found him outside Asami's bedroom." It was half-true, anyways. "Why were you in Korra's room?"

"Just checking on her. She won't talk to anyone and barely even speaks to me. She's been having nightmares about Amo – Noatok. I've just been trying to be there as much as I can. Losing your bending can't be easy, even if you still have airbending."

"So essentially you slept together, but didn't have sex?"

"Pretty much."

"Oh."

"Just like you did with Asami." Mako winked and Bolin cringed. "Bo, you're a terrible liar."

"I know. I'm sorry for, um, liking Asami."

Mako laughed. "Great minds think alike. We both fell in love with the same girls. Don't worry about it." Bolin smiled a little and after a moment, gasped.

"You're in love with Korra?"

Mako rubbed his neck and blushed. "Uh… yeah."

"Are you gonna tell her?"

"Soon. Wait, you didn't deny being in love with Asami."

Neither brother said anything and they walked back to the men's dorms in silence.

The rest of the day was slow torture. No one besides Mako knew that something had changed between Bolin and Asami and they couldn't spend the hours chatting together that they wanted to. Now that she wasn't just a crush, Bolin couldn't stand being apart from her. And oh, how Asami wanted to grab him and kiss his beautiful, beautiful lips.

It's not that anybody would care about the relationship; so much as they cared too much about Korra right now. It would feel wrong to be happy when she was in so much emotional pain. Admitting it to themselves was hard enough. The others would have to wait.

Bolin and Asami saw each other at every meal and stole only a few glances. People acted normally, trying to forget about everything for a while. Korra ate in her room with Mako. Or, rather, Korra ate in her room while Mako tried to get her to talk. He spent every second with her, trying and trying to make her feel even the slightest bit happier.

Asami finished eating and got up from the table. "Can I get anyone's plate? I'll start the dishes for you, Pema."

"Oh thank you, dear. You've been such a big help since the baby arrived. If you wouldn't mind, I'm done with my plate." Asami nodded and took Pema's and Tenzin's plates into the kitchen. As she walked past Bolin, she pressed a piece of paper into his hand.

"I NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM I'LL BE RIGHT BACK." He squeaked. He then proceeded to run out of the dining room faster than a Rabba-Roo on acid. Outside, he opened up the crumpled paper.

"Meditation Pavilion, 10:00."

Bolin felt his face get very, very warm. He cleared his throat, combed his fingers through his hair, and walked back to the dining room. He found that his plate had been cleared and everyone was beginning to get up to go to their respective rooms. He decided to do the same.

"Hi." Asami smiled shyly as Bolin sat down next to her in the pavilion.

"Hi." He smiled right back. "Um."

"Um."

"Uhhhhhhh…"

"Uhhhhhmmm."

"Hi."

"Hi."

"So… was there something you'd like to talk to me about?" Bolin had been waiting all day for this and that made the entire conversation awkward. Instead of answering, Asami scooted closer to him and laid her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beat faster than a drum.

"Tell me about all of your girlfriends, Bolin."

"What?"

"Tell me about all of your girlfriends."

"Serious ones? There haven't been any. Girls have always liked me, but I've never had a real relationship before. The closest thing was Korra, and that didn't end well."

"Oh."

"You were expecting more?"

"What about fan girls?"

"Nope."

"Hmm."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"What about you. Boyfriends?"

"Mako."

"Besides Mako."

"No one."

"What?" Bolin was expecting a mile-long list with Asami's looks.

"You heard me."

"But… you're so pretty!"

Asami laughed. "I have a tendency to push others away. Most guys don't make it this far."

Bolin 'Oh'd with renewed interest.

Asami blushed again. She leaned back now and looked into his eyes.

"Asami?"

"What is it?"

He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "I want you… to kiss me."

She grabbed him and kissed him, hard. When they pulled away, Asami gasped. "Please, Bo… Oh please."

"I couldn't take advantage of you like that, Asami."

"I want. Need. I need you."

"Do you really?"

"Come with me, please, I need. I need, Bolin." She was panting and frantically kissing him. Bolin wanted to, really wanted to, but he wasn't sure if she'd regret it later.

"Are you –"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Bolin picked up Asami in one swift movement and ran to the men's dorms.

"Bo, what are you…?" Asami asked as he rushed through the cold night air. She grabbed his shoulder and held on until he stopped outside the building. He pointed to the knob with his head and Asami twisted it open. Bolin tiptoed down the hallway, Asami still in arms. She did the same with the door to his room, and he turned around, allowing her to close it behind them.

Bolin laid her down on the bed. Trying to be smooth, he slowly moved a stray piece of hair out of her eyes and behind her ears. He then leaned down to kiss her and instead fell onto her stomach. She laughed.

"Sorry, Asami…" He opened his eyes and found that they were level with her breasts.

"Bolin, please. I want it. I want you. Please."

"Okay, fine." Asami laughed and sat up.

"Finally." Asami began to pull off her jacket and shirt while Bolin took off his own.

Both now top-less, Bolin looked at Asami's breasts. He took a moment to drink in the sight of her and he sighed, "So beautiful."

Asami pressed onward, wanting to explore her partner's body, a newfound adventure waiting to unravel right in front of her. She placed her hands on his pecs and massaged small circles, moving toward his abs and that downwards "v". Using feather-light strokes, she traced his v line earning a moan and perhaps a little giggle.

"Asami, please. I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you in any way. I couldn't…"

"You're scared."

"Uh… a little, maybe."

"Why? Haven't you had sex before?" asked Asami, still tracing his muscles.

"That was different. It didn't mean anything to me more than sex. I can't mess things up. I want it to be perfect."

Asami decided that it was the right time to tell him. "I love you." She placed a peck on his red, blushing cheek and waited for his response.

After a short moment of silence, Bolin blurted, "Me too! I mean, I don't love me, I love you… too, I guess. Asami…"

She laughed. Asami grabbed his crotch. Bolin gasped. Their eyes met as she slowly unbuttoned his pants and took out his dick. She gave it an experimental lick before taking it fully into her mouth.

She didn't keep it there very long, just making sure to get it wet enough to go inside her.

The door creaked open.
