I don't own The Legend of Korra and I don't intend to make money off this story.

Chapter 10: That Could Have Gone Better

Jin found himself looking for Korra after he little incident with training, 'Little is possibly the wrong word' he thought sarcastically to himself.

He walked through the court yard five times, with each crossing he went to a different location where he thought he would find her. He searched for her in her room, the kitchen, the tower, the stable that housed Naga and finally the docks.

"Where can she be?" he sighed with frustration.

The scene from the series, when she is crying on the cliffs because she is scared, "That has to be it." He concluded and headed in the direction of the cliffs which were on the other side of the island.

"It's never just a short walk is it, always the long way around with this place."

After about ten minutes however, he spotted what he was looking for and continued to head in that direction.

Korra was sitting on the edge of the cliff with her knees pulled to her chest and sobbing quietly into her crossed arms. She didn't notice him walking up behind and she was almost shocked out of her sobbing when he spoke.

"You know it gets better right?" he questioned as he sat down next to her, not looking at her just staring out at the beauty that was the sea as it expanded over the horizon.

She opened her mouth to tell him he was an idiot but opted not to, settling her chin back on her crossed arms and watching the sea.

They sat there in silence, the sea turtle doves and the waves crashing being the only sounds that could be heard by the two.

Jin had experienced this sort of behaviour before and had learnt the hard way that it was best way to deal with it was just to let them come to you in due time.

The hours past and the two just sat there listening, Jin eventually lying on his back with his hand behind his head as a pillow. He closed his eyes, relaxing in the bliss that was the peace and quiet that surrounded him.

He had fallen asleep before she realised it, looking down at the sleeping teen next to her she couldn't help but smile, "Idiot." She said, which seemed to elicit a smirk from Jin but she dismissed it quickly.

Her arms went up, with a yawn she let out a stretch and suddenly realised just how tired the events of earlier had made her. Following Jin's lead she lay down on her side, using her arms as pillows, she looked at him and closed her eyes to let sleep take her.

With tired eyes Jin returned to the land of the conscious and immediately he realised he couldn't move to sit up. Looking down, a shocked look covered his face; Korra had somehow ended up using him as her personal pillow.

She had shifted in her sleep, moving closer to the closest source of heat to snuggle up too and in this case that was Jin. She had placed her left arm over his chest, resting her hand just over his shoulder.

Her head was using the other half of his chest as her pillow, with the rest of her body flush against his and her one leg thrown over his.

Once again noticing exactly what was pressing against him, Jin forced his mind elsewhere. Not that he didn't enjoy having a girl cuddled up to him; it's just that this one could kill him in three of his least favourite ways. That and she wasn't his girl to have.

"Um. Korra?" he whispered, tying to get her to stir to no avail.

Her only response was to cuddle closer to him, trying to make herself comfortable. He gulped, "I am so dead."

The sun had already started to set, "Now what am I supposed to do?" he asked rhetorically.

'It's going to get really cold out her soon and she won't wake up.' He thought with a sigh as he realised she wasn't going to wake up for a few more hours.

He steadied himself for what could possibly be the last moments of his life, 'Ok let's do this.' He readied himself to carry her to her room.

Reaching down carefully he pulled her legs up and slid his other hand behind her back. 'Easy does it.' He thought as he sat up, getting a groan of disapproval from Korra for disrupting her comfortable spot.

Pushing himself to his feet and exhaling a breath of relief, he started to walk towards the building that contained her room.

The walk back was stressful and rather fulfilling for Jin but as he approached the build she took a nip at his collar bone. He drew a quick breath, from the surprise and looked down to check if she wasn't just pulling his chain, with the whole 'I'm asleep but actually not' trick.

Seeing that she was still happily sleeping in his arms, he continued walking. He played out what would happen if the ever vigilant Tenzin were to see this he would very ostentatiously launch a hurricane at him, after he had placed Korra safely in her room of course.

'No Tenzin, this isn't what it looks like. She cuddled up to me while we were sleeping. No wait I mean, she was lying on top of me when I woke up. I mean. Sigh I give up just get it over with.' He thought the scene through, every eventuality ended with him getting his ass handed to him courtesy of a man made hurricane.

Finally walking into view of the buildings Jin, not seeing Tenzin, let out a sigh of relief. 'Ok a little further and we are in the clear.' He reasoned with himself.

Walking up to the building and making sure he didn't kick the step again, he carefully manoeuvred himself through the door. Walking through the corridor to Korras room, he used his foot to slide the door open.

Entering the room, he had a chance to see just what Tenzin didn't want the 'boys' to see in this wing of the temple. The room looked almost identical to his, having a round window on the opposite wall to the door, a bed position along the wall a simple cabinet and a few drawers for cloths.

'Typical, just Tenzin being over protective.' He thought as he moved towards her bed.

Bending down to deposit her onto the bed he carefully let go, only problem was that she hadn't. 'Great.'.

'Ok I have two options here, lay down with her until she lets go or wake her up while using force to get her to let go. Both end with me being a dead man.' He thought sarcastically to himself.

Deciding it would be better to pry her off him he started to pull her arm away from his shoulder. Eventually she let go and he gently laid her onto the bed.

Pulling the cover up over her he turned to leave. Closing the door as quietly as he could, he couldn't see the figure now looming over him.

Yeah this chapter isn't really much but I thought I had to update. I finish my exams tomorrow so I will try and update more frequently. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the support.
