Tenzin was in love with Korra, there was no way around it. He felt these feelings for too long, he could no longer try to ignore them. The spirits told him that this was the way that it was meant to be, Lira told him the same thing. It just was meant to be.

The young man could no longer hold his feelings in. It hurt immensely to be so close, but yet so far from her. He could see that the young Avatar fancied someone other than him. It was the beginnings of love but primarily lust. He wanted to confess to the young Avatar, but he feared that it would scare her off.

She was only 17 after all and he of the age of 21. Though only a few years apart they were also teacher and student. But he couldn't hold it in any longer he had to say something.

While training one afternoon Korra was having a particularly hard time mastering one of the forms. Her feet kept getting tangled and entwined in one another and she kept stumbling over herself. After getting frustrated and rushing through the form Korra was sent sprawling down onto the concrete.

"God damnit," Korra cried in anger as she sent fire from her finger tips towards the sky.

Helping Korra up Tenzin sighed and stared at the young girl. Her blue eyes looked at him with disappointment and wistfulness. "Korra, you can't rush through this, you must retain a calm composure."

"Well, that's easy for you to say, you are an Airbender. I don't know how to do these forms."

"Let me show you." Tenzin said as he stepped behind Korra and place his hands over hers and showed her the movements of the form. It was a smooth fluid motion. After a bit they started to get closer. When Korra gave a quick glance up at her teacher she met his glance and started to blush and her eyes darted away.

Suddenly Tenzin spun Korra around like a ballerina and she spun in a refined grace. She spun all the way into Tenzin's arms. She laughed as her hands pressed against his chest and his arms around her frame. Looking up Korra stopped giggling and looked into Tenzin's eyes. He had such beautiful eyes. They looked up like his mother's.

Staring into his love's eyes he found himself being held in an unbreakable trance. Then almost as if his body had a mind of its own he pulled her closer an arm entwined around her waist, their lips inches apart. His eyes began to close as he pressed his lips against hers.

A bit surprised at first Korra's eyes went wide open in shock, but then quickly closed. Pressing a hand against Tenzin's cheek she felt his stubbly beard beneath her hand. Then slowly the pair pulled away from the kiss and started at each other for a moment then spun around, backs facing each other.

They both began to walk away after murmuring awkward apologies. Korra headed for the beaches of the island and sat down when she found a soft patch of grass. The world was spinning above her. The sense of vertigo wouldn't go away. She felt all jittery on the inside she didn't understand it.

She liked Mako or at least she thought that she did then she enjoyed the kiss with Tenzin. Why would she enjoy a kiss with Tenzin, though she didn't hate it. The feelings and emotions ran through her head. She didn't know how to react. She felt like she was falling in love with Tenzin, but what about Mako? What about her long lost love whom she had forgotten about, Anyo.

Anyo, the boy from the Watertribe who said that he would always be there, the one who she was falling for first? Feeling these feelings for other people felt wrong, but Anyo was back in the Watertribe, but she deserved to be happy right?

Why the hell did I kiss her like that, Tenzin scolded himself as ran away to the shelter of the temple. There he sank to the ground leaning against one of the large column of the sound temple. Pressing hands against his face he heard the whispers of the spirits.

"You did well Tenzin."

Ignoring the spirits I cursed at myself under my breath. How could I have been so rash?

After a while I decided that I should go and apologize to Korra. Walking over to the women's dorms I found Korra walking in the same direction I was going in. Clearing my throat I spoke up, "Uh Korra, I would like to apologize for what I did earlier, I-I don't know what I was thinking and uh-"

I was cut off by Korra was kissed my cheek in return. "Stop babbling." Staring at the young Avatar she gave me a small smile, it was a real smile. It seemed like she was doing this because she really did love me.

"Tenzin, uh there is something that I wanna tell you."

"What-"I was cut off by the sounds of footsteps and then Korra being tackled by someone.

"Korra, I've missed you so." A male voice yelled in delight. At first I was confused as to whom it was, but then I realized that it was Anyo, Korra's best friend.

Korra hugged him back in pure delight seeming truly glad to see him. The thought of the moment that we just shared seemed to be gone from her mind. I felt my shoulders sink, should I even be this upset? Just then I felt a hand be placed on my arm. I turned and found that it was my mother.

Her face filled with delight. "Oh Tenzin, it is so nice to see you. Have I got any grandchildren yet?"

I felt my face grow warm and my blood boil. "MOTHER, don't talk about things like that!"

She laughed and waved me off. "Oh Zin, you are so high strung," her voice grew serious. "So are you in love with the Avatar yet?" I swallowed and took a step back. She knew.
