After this I am not sure where to take it but I do have an idea of sorts but reviews and suggestions would be really cool. Thanks and enjoy! Brief one sided Bolinora.

Stepping on to the ferry Mako felt good about today. Since his duties as a detective and the depleting time that he had with Korra there wasn't much room for Bolin, he understood of course, he was his brother and he knew that Mako and Korra needed their own time by themselves…alone. That last part had to be drilled in to him a little bit but he got the message. Luckily, Bolin had Asami they weren't together or anything he didn't think but they were closer than they had ever been before.

"Yes." Bolin thought to himself. Bolin felt good about today. Since his brother had a lot of things on his plate on almost every day of the week they had little time for what they used to do and this, this was his favourite. He had invited the girls to join but they said they'd rather watch even Jinora said she would come down to see me, which threw me off a little bit usually she would rather meditate or do some air bendy things. Today was gonna be great.

It was hot really hot which was good because the guys were going to train today like they used to before they got in to pro – bending. They always told us about how almost every day they would train and train until they both almost fainted from exhaustion. Unfortunately, she and Asami had been dragging them away from what they used t do, they didn't like doing it especially when Bolin gave those sad puppy dog eyes but it had to be done. We were going to fight with them but before hand I heard Asami said it was going to be hot. Hot equals no shirt, no shirt equals two beautiful men fighting on a beach which equals food for the eyes. I heard Jinora was coming which was not a surprise we had spoken about her secret crush, even though Kai was still very much around, before and I knew she couldn't resist seeing a half naked Bolin.

"Hey Bolin, you ready to lose like when we were kids," Mako joked as he came in to view.

"That was a long time ago bro now I am gonna use your head like a mop and wipe the floor with you," he couldn't believe he just said that.

Mako rolled his eyes at the joke which is the exact response Bolin would have given anyways.

"Don't start yet!" Korra yelled from behind along with Asami and Jinora, they all ran towards them.

"Hey, thanks for coming, we work better with an audience." Bolin laughed slightly.

"Isn't it a bit hot for shirts?" Asami questioned playfully.

"But Jinora's right there." Bolin exclaimed.

"It's cool Bolin, I mean have you seen Kai he's so…"

"Jinora please can we just not go there," Bolin wiped his forehead with his hand.

"Okay bro let's do this." They turned and smiled at each other.

"Why are still wearing the extra clothing?" Jinora shouted. Everyone turned at her as she blushed.

"Eager are we?" Korra joked.

"It's okay." Mako grabbed his shirt by the hem as did Bolin and the ripped off their shirts like they used to in training and the girls cheered.

"Shall we?" Bolin questioned.

Mako back flipped sending a kick of fire his way; it was usually how their training started. Bolin pulled earth from the ground blocking the fire. He jumped over the earth and built up and thick wall between them.

"Running Bolin?" Mako knew how to get under his brothers skin. But so did Bolin.

"Please I could outrun you and your "ember bending" in seconds," he shrugged Mako off like it was nothing.

He ran forward punching fire towards his brother blasting his way through the wall, the adrenalin race through him. Bolin jumped back as Mako hit the ground and brought up more earth defences.

"Hiding? I thought we were fighting." Mako tried to push his buttons again.

"It's the 100 day siege of Ba Sing Sae, key word 100 as in it took you 100 years and you still couldn't do it." Bolin could spit hard if he wanted to.

"Okay brother face me." He was getting frustrated.

"No problem hot head." Mako felt a tap on his shoulder then a pain in his face.

"Damn it Bolin. When did you get so sneaky?"

"I trained with Jinora." He looked over as she blushed.

"So is that it? I thought we would be here for a while." Korra moaned. She liked to vocalise herself a lot of the time.

"Be patient just let us catch our breath back and we will get on to round 2. My favourite." Mako smirked.

"Okay you ready?" Bolin got up wiped his six pack with his shirt. His muscles were more defined than Makos Bolin was a lot bigger but Mako still had stealth.

"What are in those suitcases boys?" Jinora asked she had been wondering that the whole time they were there; she was also the only one who had noticed them out of the girls.

They both unzipped showing shining metal blades.

"Round 2." They both said.

Mako pulled out two long, thin Katana blades; they were beautiful with a red handle that was stripped with white. He held them firm at his sides.

Bolin pulled out two small, swords, they shined he held the handles that were covered in leather and patched with straps.

"What are those Bolin?" Asami questioned.

"Those," said Jinora "Those are kampilan swords traditionally found in the east. Where did you get them Bolin?"

"An old friend." He smirked Mako knew of who he spoke of. He taught them everything they know about swordsman ship.

"Wait. Are you actually going to," and with a clang of the swords the question was answered. They thought surely Mako would run circles round Bolin, Bolin was strong and powerful but Mako had the stealth to sword fight. But what they saw was not what they expected, they were pretty even. The swords clanged and bashed as they flipped around each other throwing their swords in to each other. The girls clutched each other's hands hoping one of them didn't die.

The boys on the other hand were smiling and almost laughing this was like before but now more evenly matched thanks to Bolin's perfected strength. They threw their swords together one last time Mako spinning round him and slashed twice at his back, being careful to only leave scars. Bolin dropped.

"WHAT THE HELL MAKO!" The girls screamed. They ran to Bolin to see if he was okay.

Bolin quickly got up.

"Hey don't worry its fine."

"Bolin it's not fine you just got scarred for life."

"How do you think I got my scars?"

"What sc…" Korra never noticed the amount of scars that ran through Bolin's back.

"DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM MAKO?" Asami was screaming at him. Her fist clenched Jinora held her back but really wanted to let go. "How could he" she told herself Bolin was his brother and he had sliced him with no second thought or mercy.

"YOU THINK I WANT TO DO THIS TO HIM. THE TRIAD MADE US, WE TRAINED EVERYDAY AND I HAD TO SLASH HIS BACK BECAUSE I WON ALL THE TIME."

"You're not in the triad any more Mako, you're here with us." Korra hugged him tight and tears fell down her eyes.

"It's okay it's just his reflexes I told him that when I lose just slash me quick when we were in the triad." Asami through her arms over him digging her face into his shoulder and Jinora held his hand as tight as she could. Bolin squeezed back.

"The spirits were not kind to you…" Korra whimpered. "You both deserve to be kings for the things you went through."

"We just did as we were told. Right Mako?"

"Right." The brothers stepped towards each other hand hugged.

"Ow… jeez" Bolin yelped.

"We should probably stitch you up bro," Mako pulled his arm across his shoulder and walked him to the healers in the air temple.

The girls watched as the brothers smiled and laughed after they had just tried to slice each other up. They could not believe it but it proved their connection to each other.
