"Korra!" Bolin springs. He's panting, his nightshirt plastered to his skin by sweat.
"What is it?" She cautiously asks. She was taken aback by his sudden movement beside her.
"Nothing," Bolin exhales, calmed because his love is in fact still next to him, "Just a nightmare." He pulls her close to him, kissing the top of her head as she rests it in the crook of his arm.
"What kind of nightmare?" Korra asks, nuzzling into him as close as possible, not caring about his perspiration soaked shirt.
"I, I thought I lost you…" Bolin stammers. He's still breathing heavier than normal.
"Lost me?" Korra looks into his eyes, her own are full of concern. She's begun twiddling the bottom of his shirt as she waits for him to explain.
Bolin sighs and turns his body toward her completely. "In my dream you were in love with Mako. You chose him over me…" Korra gives a light chuckle and Bolin looks at her quizzically and somewhat hurt. "It's not funny!"
"Oh, but it is! Don't you see?" Korra kisses him lightly on the lips. "I would never leave you Bolin. You're mine and I love you. And no one, especially not Mako could ever change that."
"Okay, I guess. I love you too Korra. It just felt so real. It was so horrifying. I don't think I'll be able to get back to sleep after that."
Korra's eyes spark. "Really? You don't think you'll sleep?"
"I'm worried I might fall back into that nightmare…" Bolin trails off, but he caught something other than concern in her voice. "Why?"
In a swift movement Korra's slipped his nightshirt off over his head and positioned herself on top of him. Her face is mere inches from his, though her eyes are dancing with provocation while his still hold some confusion. Her long hair dangles from the sides of her face, falling to the pillow around Bolin's head, the tresses caressing his cheeks.
"How about I help keep you up?" She bites her lip and waits, fairly patiently for her credit.
Bolin doesn't take any time to understand and a sharp smile flashes across his face and colors his eyes, but only for a moment. Because then his eyes shut as he's pulled Korra to him, locking her lips with his. His hand starts at her head where he guided her and slowly works its way through her hair, down her toned back, around her perfect waist, now to rest where his thumb can brush across her hip bone.
His lips move slowly down to her neck, and she gives a slight gasp as he rolls them both over so he's perched on top of her. He withdraws to get a better look at her, a smirk on his face, pale but highlighted in the moonlight. She pouts slightly and tries to pull him back to her. Bolin is resisting in good fun though, and she laughs, smiles and then, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, crashes her lips to his as she pulls herself to him.

"BOLIN!" Mako hits him again with his pillow and Pabu scampers away from the confrontation. "Bolin! WAKE UP!"
Bolin is immediately sitting up disoriented, looking around him. "What… what happened? Where is she?"
"She?" Mako asks with a sly grin. "Is that what all that groaning was?" He picks his pillow up off of the floor from where it had ricocheted and tosses it back on his own bed. Poor Pabu scampers out of the way again after having thought he'd finally found a safe place. Mako pays no mind to the pet and sits on the end of his brother's bed.
"Hmm what?" Bolin is bright red. Does he know… was I saying…
"You were groaning… quite loudly," Mako's voice has taken on a serious tone, and now that his face has left the moonlight, the younger brother can't read his expression.
"Oh… er… sorry… intense dream." Bolin's worried, breathing rapidly still. Mako's fist swings at him with no warning and he clamps his eyes shut.
But Mako's fist only lightly punches Bolin's shoulder. "Don't worry about it; it just woke me up and wouldn't let me sleep." He crosses back to his own bed and gets in, lying down facing Bolin. "It's just a good thing I sent Korra home. I'd have had a hard time trying to cover for that." He chuckles lightly. "Whatever Keiki was doing she was really doing it well." He rolls over, and falls right asleep.
Keiki. Bolin thinks. Thank the spirits he doesn't know it was Korra. He turns away from his brother as well, trying to fall back asleep, but it doesn't come instantly like it did for Mako. Instead, he spends some time remembering the dream, before he drifts back into it.
So... my first attempt... hope it went okay... This wasn't actually going to be part of the chapter but I thought that something needed to happen before the one that was supposed to be this one so I started writing and this is what happened... I hope its okay... I'm sorry it's so late... I promise there will be more jealosy and twists and the like... I just have a lot going on... hopefully more to come in the next few weeks though...
Once again, sorry it's so short...
Thanks again for choosing to read this when you could be doing something better with your time ;)
