A/N: Wing comforts a heart-broken Opal.
Disclaimer: I do not own LoK.
Wing walked around the main building of Air Temple Island looking for Wei. After their talk in the spare room, he had returned to dinner to give his brother some time to think but when he opened their shared bedroom door, Wei wasn't there as Wing had expected. He was neither in the kitchens or in the courtyard, so where could Wei be?
Wing was just walking past one of the doors which led outside when someone pushed it open, almost hitting him in the face with it.
"Ahh!" he screamed out, holding his hands out in front of his face.
The person stopped and gasped out, "Wing? Sorry I didn't see you there."
Wing moved his hands away to see his older sister, Opal. Her eyes her red and her face puffy. He instinctively reached out to her and said, "Opal, are you okay?"
Opal collapsed into his arms, her eyes tearing up again. "No not really. I think me and Bolin just broke up," she said through her sobs.
Wing was surprised. He never thought that Bolin would actually do that, especially after how smitten he seemed to be with Opal before. "What? Why would he do something like that?" he asked.
"Something about being confused. He's been acting strange since we've reached the island, and the same with Wei. I think Wei knows something, or Bolin knows something," Opal pondered out loud.
So Wei was getting to Bolin it seemed. But Wing would say nothing, especially after his brother's declaration. He didn't want to meddle and he would let things fall into place on their own. Until then, he would just try to comfort who he could and to try and keep the pieces together. "Don't worry, Opal," Wing said softly. "Whatever is bothering the two of them will pass. They'll work out their problems on their own. We can't force them."
Opal pulled away and looked into Wing's eyes. "They really do have something going on between them. Wei stole my boyfriend!?"
Wing shook his head. He had hoped she wouldn't jump to that conclusion so quickly but Opal was a smart girl. He placed two calming hands on Opal's arms and said, "I don't know what's going on between them but I also don't want to get involved. But Opal, if you love Bolin like I think you do, you'll let him go and let him decide what he wants to do. You won't get in the way of his potential happiness."
Opal looked down with a pout, "I don't want to just give him up. I love him and I thought he loved me. "
Wing said, "I don't doubt he did, but I think he's going through something and so is Wei, and I just want to see everyone happy with whoever makes them happy. Don't you?"
Opal nodded reluctantly. "Yes, Bolin should be happy, after everything that's happened."
Wing pulled his sister in for a hug and said, "In the meantime, let's see if this island's kitchen as something sweet to eat. I know you like your sweets."
