Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Korra.
I didn't get to say what I wanted to say, thanks to Tenzin, now I have to go to sleep knowing that she is still not mine. I take off my shirt because it seems a lot hotter in my room than usual and lie down on my bed. I just want to let Korra know how I feel. I've had so many chances where I could have told her but I didn't take them. Next time I see her I have to tell her, no matter what distractions come along. I don't care if Ikki pops up, or Naga attacks me, hell if the island caught on fire I still plan on telling her how much I love her. I sigh; I just hope she loves me back. I close my eyes and prepare for the dreams that await me.
Korra is standing right in front of me, close enough I could touch her. I reach out for her hand but she is floating away. I chase after her and finally grab hold of her hand.
"Stay…please." I beg. She's frozen, she doesn't move, not even a blink. "Korra?" Still frozen. I bring her into an embrace and hug her for the longest time. "I will protect you…" I whisper. "…If you stay with me." She stirs in my arms and she lifts her face to look up at me. She doesn't say anything, but she doesn't have to, just staring into her eyes I can see everything.
The morning light wakes me from my heavenly dream. I rise and sit on my bed in silence. I want all of my dreams to become reality so badly it's almost too much to bear. I grab my sketchpad out from under my bed and begin to draw. I draw the garden, and how Korra had hugged me after my meltdown. I draw her sitting on the pier with me. I draw her falling asleep on my shoulder at the beach. I draw me teaching her waterbending moves in the training area. I draw us running in the rain. I draw everything that makes me want to be with her. If I lose her, I don't know what I'll do. I've fallen in love with this girl so quickly that I am blinded by her and all I see is her. I would rather stare at her face than anything else in the world.
I'm so confused by him. Or maybe I'm just confused by myself. I don't know. I think I like Tahno, and I think he likes me, but he has never shown any romantic thoughts of me. I will defiantly not tell him that I have feelings for him, because last time I told a guy that, it didn't go well. I want him to tell me first, and then I will return the favor. I don't want to get my heart broken again, I guess I'm blocking myself a little by telling myself that I don't like him. Which the fact that I have feelings for him is undeniable, I know it is but I keep trying to convince myself otherwise. I sigh and plop down on my bed. I wonder what he wanted to tell me. Well I guess he wanted to tell me something, the look he had in his eyes just gave me impression that he had something to say. Maybe he didn't, maybe I just wanted him to say something. Maybe an 'I like you' or something of that sort. Okay, okay Korra, you're over thinking everything, just sleep. With that I shut my eyes and try to keep my mind calm.
"Korra?" I hear him and I see him but I feel frozen and I can't move. He has my hand in his and he brings me into a hug. "I will protect you…" He whispers to me. "…if you stay with me." I love the sound of his voice, so monotone yet filled with emotion. Somehow his words make my limbs go loose and I can move again. I lift my head up to face him. Love is spread all across his eyes. His gorgeous silver eyes. They study my eyes and I can almost feel his grey eyes and my blue eyes melting together. I feel so safe wrapped in his arms, like nothing could ever hurt me ever again. Not chi-blockers, or Amon, nobody can hurt me when I'm wrapped in his arms.
I don't know why I wake up, but I'm mad that I did. Why can't that dream just come true?
I know this chapter is short but I had to write it this way to lead up to the big finale! It's in the works and I think you guys will really enjoy it, but until then I'm going to tease you guys about it. Yeah, bet you didn't know that I'm evil like that.
