-Republic City, Narook's Seaweed Noodlery-

"Man, I never expected they'd sell Seaweed noodles here, really makes me think of home."

"Well, that was kind of...the point." Bolin chuckled as he didn't expect Korra to like the idea of going to this noodle house. "I mean if you like it that's great, not complaining."

She chuckled at that. "Thanks Bolin, I think I really needed this after coming here, it feels like a mix of my home and Republic City together."

"You're welcome Korra." He smiled. "I mean you deserve this after being away from home and all that. Plus meeting us kind of was stressful your first day."

"Yeah, you got that right."

"Oh…" he chuckled nervously. "I see." 'Just hold it together, it's not a big deal just calm down and focus!' "So, um….how's um...life?" 'Doh!'

"It's good. Except for the cars and motorbikes nearly running me over." she replied. "I mean sure they're amazing to see and they're real fast, but I don't really see myself riding one, I'm sticking with Naga."

"That's good because if you were to ride any of them it would turn out badly." He joked. "I mean flying motorbikes might be cool but it might lead to more problems."

"Hey, I'm not that bad." she teased back.

"Oh so that wasn't you trying to fly?" He teased back. "Did you like the view or were you getting sick?"

She frowned a little while punching his shoulder lightly. "Like I said, I'm not that bad. Maybe if you were riding with me that might happen."

He blushed at the image and ate some more of the noodles. 'Wow, that actually sounds nice.'

Korra chuckled while eating some noodles too. 'He's a dork, but kind of like a male version of me...huh. That's an odd idea.' She then imagined herself as a male and Bolin as a girl. 'Wow, that's just….bizarre.'

'Ok, just be yourself.' "So Korra, ever thought about being a model?"

"No why?"

"Um because you….look like one?" He said with a blush and flustered face.

"Oh, thanks." she smiled with a light blush. 'That was sweet of him.'

"I mean, you are amazing and well if you don't mind me saying….beautiful." 'Ok now I KNOW I just went too far!' "Oh I'm sorry I'll just-"

Korra blushed hearing that. "No no, it's fine. I just um…" she went back to eating her noodles a little faster than before. 'So embarrassing.'

It was silent….until….

BURP!

"..."

"...he he." Bolin chuckled hearing that from Korra. That was before...

BURP!

He did it himself.

"He he." Korra chuckled while seeing his face turn pink.

"Oh….I am so...so sorry for that!"

"It's fine. Heck it reminds me of home after eating some whalelion meat." She chuckled before burping. "..."

He snickered while she started doing the same.

That was when both got an idea and started a contest, loudest one won.

(Some time later)

BURP!

BURP!

The customers were starting to get annoyed by this while some just shrugged it off, which didn't go so well for the dates some of them had. Poor souls….not.

Eventually though it stopped with both chuckling and their voices seeming a little tired.

"He he...I won." Bolin chuckled.

"Nope I did." Korra smirked. 'Boy, that was fun.'

"Are you two done looking like chumps?"

They turned to see Tahno right near their table.

"And you are what? The chump police?" Asked Korra with a frown.

"Uh Korra? Ixnay on the ame alling." whispered Bolin. "That's Tahno, he's a pro-bending champ."

"So?" She asked. "He looks more like a badgermole with a mullet."

"Hmph, and you're the supposed avatar?" he asked with a smirk. "Seems more like a wet behind the ears rookie."

Korra's eye twitched at that. "What did you say to me?" 'If he says it again I'm firebending his ass into next year!'

"Korra, just calm down." Bolin whispered.

"I can't, he's really pushing my buttons."

"Look, what say we just go back to our meal?" suggested Bolin trying to keep things peaceful.

"Perhaps, or I could just say that this girl needs 'private training' if you know what I mean." Tahno smirked. "And believe me, she really needs it."

"You little-"

"How about we make a deal?" Bolin said while butting in. "You leave and we'll forget that you even came here. Ok?"

"Oh really?" he frowned and stared Bolin down with said male trying hard to keep a serious expression. "I got a better one."

"And that would be?" 'I hope it's not a fight.'

"You and me take this outside and if you win I'll leave, but if you lose then I'm taking your friend."

'Doh! Wait….what did he SAY?!'

"Excuse me? Since when am I a prize?" frowned Korra standing up. "If you wanna fight I'll take you o-"

"I'll do it! And I'll break your bone and turn them into your bread, you little shit!" Bolin yelled in anger. "So get ready and face my fists of pain!"

They looked at him in surprise and a little shocked at the guys threat. Especially Tahno who looked nervous for a brief second.

"Bolin….what's gotten into you?"

"Don't worry Korra, I'm not going to let this little shit have his way with you. Not on MY watch!"

"Alright, then let's go outside, and don't go crying too much when I show you what a real bender can do."

"Shove it." He growled while they walked out of the building with Korra following behind.

(Outside)

'Ok. What just happened?' Bolin thought while his rage subsided. 'I heard Tahno say all that stuff about Korra and…...wait oh no! I'm about to fight this guy!'

Tahno cracked his hands while smirking as he stood across from Bolin. "I'm going to enjoy this."

'Eep!' He thought. "Um yeah. Same."

Tahno took a stance with Bolin hesitantly doing the same.

And that was when a blast of water was sent at Bolin followed by a large chunk of the street.

Tahno dodged it while Bolin barely missed the other one. He then sent another blast of water at him before attempting to freeze his legs.

Bolin jumped to the side, but the water hit his legs and started freezing up. 'Crap!' he then tried to move his feet. But they wouldn't budge.

"Having a little frostbite half pint?" He smirked before blasting him with more water.

He used a part of the ground as a wall and blocked the blast. He hit his hand on the ground and made some of it stretch up and break the ice before he got to his feet and shot several rocks at him.

The waterbender dodged each one before using some water to throw said rocks back at him.

He got pelted with them which made him stumble back.

"Face it, you're out of your league!" Tahno smirked before sending him back with more water. "You're just a newbie and I'm a champ!"

Bolin fell back before finding himself against a wall. He winced and panted while feeling even less thrilled about this. 'Crap! This isn't good!'

Tahno smirked before freezing the earthbender's body in ice. "Looks like I win, but," he slowly made a sharp ice knife. "I'm going to make sure you know who's your better. And one more thing, I'm going to enjoy having the chump as a servant, especially for my pride."

That was when something unexpected happened.

'Oh no I'm about to…' "Ah-Ah-"

BANG!

"ACHOO!" Bolin sneezed while the force of the sneeze caused his head to jerk toward and into Tahno's face. Very hard to be exact.

"Gah!" He held his nose while stumbling back as he tripped on a loose cobblestone and fell into a barrel.

Bolin sniffed before quickly slamming his foot down and making the barrel go flying down the road while making part of the earth rise up.

"AHHH!" Tahno screamed as the barrel went flying into the air before landing in the nearby bay.

SPLASH!

"Ugh…."

(With Bolin)

"Wow….I won." He muttered in shock. "Wait, I won! Korra I-"

PUNCH!

"Ow! What the? Korra?!" He cried out while rubbing his stomach.

"Sorry Bolin, but that was awesome!" she smiled.

"But then why'd you punch me in the stomach?"

"Because you also worried me!" She said with a frown. "Really you just did that when I could have handled it myself."

He sighed. "I know but he just got under my skin ok. Especially when he talked that way to you Korra."

She shook her head. "Bolin, I'm a big girl. Next time let me fight my own battles."

"But what if you can't." He said a with a little concen. "What then? I know you're a great bender and the avatar to boot, but I...I just don't want to see you hurt. Especially if the Equalists get to you." He looked at his feet. "All I'm trying to say is I don't want to lose you."

She looked at him in surprise before smiling. "Bolin, that's sweet of you to say."

"Really? Because...it kind of felt corny." He said with a blush. "I mean you're like perfect, half the time, so saying that just felt off."

"Yeah, you might even write for plays." she teased. "Oh sir Bolin, such kind words." she spoke in a dramatic tone before bursting into laughing.

Bolin blushed before smirking. "Lady Korra, are thou saying that thy words are for not? For one such as you, oh fair maiden of the Southern Water Tribe, are of spiritual majesty and earthly splendor oh balancer of four worlds." He finished with this. "And if thou are curious of thou lord, the words thy speak is swift and true oh lady of beauty." 'I hope that book on old storytelling helped.'

"Wow, now you really sound corny." she laughed holding her sides.

"Hey!" He blushed. "At least I didn't say anything like say oh goddess with chocolate hair or something like that."

"So I'm a goddess now?" She said while trying to catch her breath. "How sweet, I bet all the girls hear that line."

"Actually, you're the only one I told. Heck I never told anyone else those lines." He admitted. "So um….yeah they were all for you."

She blinked before feeling her face heating up. 'Woah, he was really pouring that on.'

'Great now she thinks I'm crazy.' He thought. "So….no hard feelings about the um...fight?"

"Yeah, but next time, let me kick some butt, alright?"

"Sure. Just promise me you'll be careful."

"Only if you practice what you preach."

He sighed. "Alright, so um….stay toasty?" 'Doh!'

"Um...sure?" She said unsure.

(Sometime later)

-Harmony Tower-

Bolin smiled as he held some pink flowers for Korra in his hands while Pabu was around his neck.

"Eep?"

"I know, I'm excited too about giving this to Korra."

"Eep eep?"

"I don't know if she likes pink but I do know she'll be happy. I know she will." He smiled while walking up some stairs, only to see Korra and Mako there. 'Huh? What's Mako doing there?'

That's when Mako tried to kiss her, only to be stopped by a hand.

"Mako, I know you like me but you have a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend. You can't just do this without consequences happening." Korra said with a frown.

His eyes widened before shaking his head. "Korra, you're right. I'm sorry, I guess I got caught up in the mood and didn't realize what I was doing."

"I know and if I didn't find Bolin a nice guy to be his girlfriend, then that might have worked. But," she sighed. "We both know that such a thing would hurt him. He's a great guy with a big heart and I don't want to ruin it with this."

Bolin blushed while his heartbeat went fast.

"So Mako, I hope we can still be friends." Korra smiled. "And could I ask you something?"

"Oh um sure?"

"Should I tell him when everything is over or when our date starts."

"Tell him what?" He asked confused while noticing his brother.

"That I kind of like him a lot. I mean like so much that I might kiss him." She said with a blush.

"Even if he was right here?"

She blinked before seeing Bolin and blushed red while feeling her heartbeat fall and stop for a few seconds. 'Oh spirits!'

"You...mean all that?" Bolin asked while tearing up.

"Uh…..that depends, how long were you standing there?"

"When Mako tried to kiss you." He said while tears went down his face. 'Oh spirits, this is...I don't know what this is but I'm so happy!'

Korra felt her face heat up even more hearing that.

"Uh, I'll just leave you two alone." spoke Mako walking away.

The two looked at each other before feeling their hearts getting faster and faster.

"Korra."

"Yes Bolin?" She said before seeing him running towards her and kissed her on the lips. Her eyes widened before kissing back and closing her eyes.

They went at it before breaking it suddenly.

"Thank you Korra, thank you." Bolin said with a smile and tears running down his cheeks. "You just made me the happiest man on earth."

"Relax dude, no need to start the waterworks."

"I can't help it." He said while wiping his eyes. "I'm just so happy. I mean you love me back." 'I can die happy.'

She blushed at that. "Wait, you like me like that? Oh...spirits. I...wow. I'm…." she shook her head. "I'm messing with you. I love you too." 'Even if that made my heart stop for a second.'

He kissed her back while Pabu let out a squeak with a smile.

'This guy, he's so corny.' She thought with a smile as she kissed back and the camera slowly turned black. 'But he's my corny boyfriend.'
