Notes: 8/12/12. Flash!drabble! Oh, don't mind me ending sentences with prepositions and still not adhering to proper grammatical guidelines. Again. But this time I have an excuse: during the days in Spain in which this was written, I felt like I couldn't speak any language, first or second, haaaaaaa, so please cut me some slack. No back-story to this one, at least none that I had in mind beforehand. Nothing special. This is just me trying to regain some semblance of English.

it's you

"Leave it to you, Korra, to end up liking two guys at once."

"I don't even know how it happened," she drags an agitated hand through her long, dark hair. Frustrated. Defeated. Torn.

Guilty.

And he thinks, It's not your fault.

Your heart is too big—if anyone in this world has enough space in her heart to fill it up with that much love, it's you.

Bolin doesn't realize he's spoken his musings aloud until she turns to him, her eyes soft and appreciative, but her smile jaded with bitter resignation. The night is cold and the rusted orange of the moon, darkening around the edges like burnt mahogany, it's beautiful, but it hurts his eyes.

"I don't know about that," she whispers gently, turning away. "It certainly feels empty enough sometimes."

And standing so near to her, sensing the space between his fingers and her hair, Bolin stays still.

End Note: Nothing special. About a week and a half ago, I was out on a night run through the Spanish countryside and looked up. When I saw how gorgeous the moon was, this my mind was hit with that one line (enough space in her heart), and it had to be written down. I honestly don't actually feel like Bolin should be friend-zoned as much as I write him to be, but that's just how it's been coming out. Bah.

Also: Got back from Spain two days ago! gray skies ahead updates coming soon. (And my 22nd birthday is two days away, yay!)
