A/N Hi guys :) sorry it's been a bit since my first update, next one won't be too far off. Let me know what you think & if you see any mistakes :)
Disclaimer: I do not own LoK :)

From the letter Iroh had received a few days before, Commander Bumi was due to arrive tonight. Korra knew the reason for the party, she never knew what the guest was like though. Everyone assumes that Bumi was like Tenzin and that belief was strengthened by the fact that he was the commander, what only a few knew was that Bumi was as crazy as his father and namesake: King Bumi of the Earth Kingdom. Iroh was in the shower, preparing for tonight. Clothes set out on the bed, medals polished and wishing that everything for tonight will go well.

Korra walked outside and stared towards the statue of Aang, it looked pretty eerie in the light of the full moon. She breathed in deeply and felt the moon's glow on her skin and vibrate through her body, she felt invincible with the full moon.
Korra decided that she should talk to Iroh about tonight, she knew who Bumi was and knew he was a well-decorated Commander and she was nervous about meeting him. As she walked down the hall towards Iroh's room, she felt her soul sing with the moon's song. Tui and La were at their strongest tonight, she could feel it. She knocked and got no reply, so she allowed herself in, hearing the shower running but not seeing the young General, Korra concluded that he was getting ready. Korra, on the other hand, was ready. The dress Iroh got for her, fit nicely showing off her curves and her hair styled the traditional Water Tribe way.

She stood by the bathroom door about to knock. Korra wondered what Iroh looked like outside of his uniform, in the few days he has been in Republic City he has worn nothing but his General attire, but as curious as she was she couldn't bring herself to open the door and peek. So she decided on looking around the room. Finding photos on a vanity, Korra picked one up and seen a younger Iroh with Fire Lord Zuko.

"So I see that when it comes to snooping through people's stuff, you're not very stealthy." A voice came from behind her and gave Korra a start, causing her to nearly drop the photo in her hand. A blush rushed to her cheeks and before she turned to address the General, she placed the photo back on the vanity.
"I'm sorry..." Korra froze in her place at the sight before her. Iroh was standing close enough that she could feel the heat from his body. The water was still running down his muscles, a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair was disheveled and there was a satisfied smirk on his face. Iroh knew that the state he was in unnerved Korra.

Korra's face burned red and even Iroh had a pink blush on his cheeks but still stood in his place. Iroh took in Korra, as he thought it was only fair because she was staring at him wide-eyed. Her hair was tied in a bun with a plait loop on both sides of her head, traditional to her culture. The dress he had given her, hugged her body showing her young woman curves which Iroh thought were very attractive even though he wouldn't admit it aloud. Her shoes were also part of the dress ensemble and shone in the light of his room.

Neither of them knew it but little by little, each had taken a step towards the other until Korra was placing her hands against Iroh's chest. Her sapphire eyes were closed as she concentrated on the rhythm of his heartbeat. Iroh couldn't help himself, thoughts were running wild in his head upon feeling her hands on his bare chest. He had been with many beautiful woman in his travels but none had given him a rush like she gave him.
Iroh lifted his hand slowly and traced from Korra's cheekbone to her lips and traced her lips with his thumb. Her lips slightly parted as he did this and he wondered what her lips would taste like, if they were as soft as they looked. Korra's hands slowly followed his muscles and then wrapped her hands around his neck. Their lips meet. Iroh's hands found Korra's waist and he lifted her, carrying her towards the bed.

Korra felt his bulge against her legs and his lips were tender and sweet. Her back hit the bed and her lips parted with a moan. Iroh took his chance to slip his tongue into her mouth before taking his lips to her neck and collarbone. Korra felt a heat rise in her and a tingle in between her legs as Iroh placed sweet kisses all over the exposed skin of her body. As Korra reached for Iroh's bulge, he gently grabbed her hands and held them firm.

"I hate to ruin this moment but I need to get ready for the party." Iroh sighed and lifted himself up and Korra sat up. She adjusted her dress and gave him a shy smile.

"Sure General, I am sorry for the intrusion. I shall see you at the party." Korra turned to leave but Iroh grabbed her arm.

"Korra, I would like to escort you to the party and ask if you would give me the honour of being my date?" Korra blushed and nodded.

"So I will meet you at the doors." Korra gave Iroh a quick peck on the cheek before rushing back to her room, nearly knocking over Tenzin.

"Korra, why are you in such a rush?" Tenzin smiled at her, which was a rare fact indeed. "And Pema is looking for you, she will be thrilled at how...sophisticated you look."

"Oh, ah hi Tenzin. I was just talking to General Iroh about meeting him at the doors tonight." A blush hinted more on her cheeks as she rubbed the back on her neck. "And I better not let Pema wait, bye." Korra ran off, leaving Tenzin in a whirl behind her.

Iroh led Korra through the doors and her head spun at all the colours, smells and noises that erupted around her. People bowed to them but she was sure it was more at General Iroh than herself, she glanced up at the young General and took in the difference from when they were alone to now. He seemed more tense and serious around people of status, like he was when they first met, he held himself straighter and his head was held higher, his face gave no hint of a smile and all in all he was a General. More than that he was the Crowned Prince of the Fire Nation.

When they were alone, he was more relaxed, he smiled and laughed and most of all, he seemed like a normal 22 year old. He kept a lot of his professional manner like how he treated a girl but he still knew how to make a joke. Korra liked Iroh better when he was like this, he was easier to get along with and when they were alone, she felt something with him. Like when we were alone in his room.

Her cheeks gave away her thoughts when Iroh looked down at Korra. He knew that she was thinking about what happened in his room earlier. He couldn't help but smile knowing he had that effect on her and knew that more would have happened if he didn't control himself. It took a lot to control himself now, Korra looked so beautiful and he wanted to sweep her off her feet and run to his room.

"Well hello General Iroh and this must be the Avatar. Pleased to meet you." Bumi bowed to Avatar Korra, taking her hand and causing her to blush as he kissed it. "Pleased to make your acquaintance" Iroh rolled his eyes and sighed. He knew Bumi all to well and knew exactly what was about to happen. Korra bowed in the Southern Water Tribe fashion and as she began to stand up straight, she was grabbed into a bear hug and spun around. "Where have you been Dad? How are ya? How's Mum?" Iroh snorted a laugh at the surprise on Korra's face but immediately composed himself.

"Whaaaat's haaaaaappeeeeenniinng?"

Korra was dizzy by the time Bumi put her down. He was bellowing out a laugh as he talked to Pema with the kids hanging off his ape looking arms and legs. Korra could see where Bumi got his from. She had been told about the great King Bumi and he definitely looked like him also if the stories were correct, Bumi had his crazy personality too. You wouldn't think that Tenzin and Bumi were brothers, or that Bumi was older than Tenzin but from what Korra could see, they had a very strong relationship and got along amazingly.

"Shall we dance?" Korra's thoughts bounced back to the stunning General next to her. She nervously took his outstretched hand and followed him to the dance floor. He placed his hand on her waist and pulled her close while holding her other hand. Korra blushed as she felt the heat coming off his body. Calm yourself Korra. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of him, or everyone. A slow song played and Korra allowed herself to be led through the dance.

She steadied her breathing and encouraged the moon to give her strength. Whan an upbeat song came on, it seemed that all of the energy that was pent up inside Korra's body was released. She closed her eyes and allowed the music and the moon to control her every limb. Everyone watched her, but no-one as intensely as Iroh.

When the song finished, Korra was snapped out of her trance by a passionate kiss from the General.
