Bolin had a plan, a fail proof plan to get him and Korra back on the right path. He held on to the belief that maybe if he pulled this off, they could talk it out and work it out.

Flowers, Noodles, and Dumplings. Sure fire way to anyone's hearts especially hers.

He stopped by the florist for some flowers. Looking through the large selection of flowers he knew not to get anymore roses. The pink roses left a bad taste in his mouth. The shop owner looked the confused customer up and down; she knew it would be ten times easier to ask for help than to go through the rows and rows of arrangements. As he strolled up to the counter she recognized him, it was the kid who bought flowers the night of the probending tournament.

"Hi! I remember you. Pink roses, right?" she peeped over her register. "How did it go with the lucky young lady?" Half-smiling now Bolin didn't really want to remember that night but he couldn't be rude. Picking up on the mood change the older woman nodded her head and changed the subject. "Well for you, I have some lovely white lilies. You know since they're in season it's on sale. You get a bouquet for 10 yuans."

"Sure. I'd like that." He watched as the florist made her way to the back to prepare the bouquet. Twenty minutes later she arrived to the register with a stunning arrangement of white lilies, wrapped up in pink casing with a silky white ribbon holding it together. Bolin was awestruck; showcasing his beautiful smile the surge of positivity quickly filled his sullen mood as he surveyed the flowers.

"I really hope she likes these." As impressed as he was at the florist's work, he knew for sure that Korra would be equally as mesmerized.

"I'm sure a handsome, kind hearted young man like you will be able to win her heart. If she doesn't then you know what, she really isn't worth the time."

"Thank you." Beaming he handed the florist the money and went on his way.

ℑℑℑℑ

The wait for his take away wasn't very long but the anxiousness of trying to get home as soon as he could was causing him to be antsy. There on the other side of the booth Pabu rested while Bolin tapped his foot nervously. When his number was finally called he rushed to get up to the counter. With a crash he smashed into a stranger and they both collapsed on the floor, Bolin was rattled; annoyed he shook his head picking himself up in the aftermath.

"Hey, you should really watch where you're going!" Bolin reached his hand to help the stranger up.

"Bolin?" In the entire city, he was the last person Bolin wanted run into.

Taking his brothers hand Mako stood up and dusted himself off. "Mako." Bolin jeered at the thought of his brother being in the same place as him. Filled with shame he looked down to avoid the bemused gaze that was putting a hole into his uniform.

"Look Bo, I'm sorry about last night. I was going to go back the apartment and take you out for breakfast to tell you that but Korra said you weren't there." Mako shockingly was sincere in his moves to make compensation. Offering to pick up the tab, Mako and Bolin sat in the booth and hashed out their differences. Bolin explain how the last 12 hours had made him question being with Korra but in the end he decided it was worth it to make it happen with her.

"I can tell you got your nose wide open for her, more than I ever was." Mako sighed into a smirk. Here he was talking to his little brother about his ex-girlfriend-turned-friend and Bolin's friend -turned-soon- to- be- girlfriend. "Its funny how life gives us these twist and turns, but no map to course through it." He was happy for his brother, happy that he had matured and found a way to his own joy.

"Yeah, I could never image our lives like this." Bolin took note in the way his brother talked him, it wasn't condescending or parent-like. He finally saw his brother as his equal and not the same six year old he had to take care of on the streets. "It only gets better from here big bro." Mako nodded.

Staring at his watch Mako realized his break was over. "Little bro, I'm gotta go back to work but when I get off I want you to tell me how your plan went. Korra will come around, she could never stay mad at you." He chuckled and gave Bolin a hug.

"I love you bro." and with that the two went their seperate ways Bolin walking home and Mako speeding off on his satocycle.

ℑℑℑℑ

Everything was coming into place, he made amends with his brother, got the perfect meal and flowers for Korra now it was time to set the final phase in motion; Find Korra.

Reaching the apartment he climbed the lengthy stairs until he got to their floor.

Luckily Korra was locking the door. Pacing behind her, he moved behind her and hugged her. Taken by surprise she flipped him over thinking that he was a mugger.

"Oh. It's you." Korra scoffed as she watched him pick himself up. She was not happy to see him and after the exchange they had earlier, she thought that he would have half the mind to stay at the Sato Mansion.

"I came by to talk to you." He brushed the dust off his bottom and picked up the flowers and food. "I'm sorry Korra. I left last night because I needed to think and I couldn't think clearly with you and him in the room by yourselves. I'm sorry I thought the worst. I should have trusted you and waited." Bolin was practically groveling.

Not wanting to hear anymore she pressed her fingers to his lips. "No more. As wrong as you were for leaving like that. I was wrong for treating you that way." Korra went to unlock the door. Bolin held the white lilies in front of his face hilariously peeking through some of the petals as pabu ran to his normal spot in the kitchen.

"These are for you." He awkwardly handing them off to her. "I have food too, let me go and set the table." He ran quickly to the kitchen to prepare the table and fix dinner.

"These are beautiful Bolin." Still focused on the flowers she grinned as she locked the door.

"Come sit." He patted the seat at the table. "I bought noodles and dumplings. I hope you like it" He was making an effort.

"Thanks." Korra didn't want a replay of last night and she knew Bolin would agree. She watched him as he looked around nervously; it was clear to her that he was more timid after the events. He had built a small wall around him and it was her job to breach that wall and repair things between them.

ℑℑℑℑ

They finished dinner silently. After the table was cleared and the dishes were placed in the sink, it was time to talk. Korra sat on the couch first followed by Bolin who sat on the other end.

While he was here to make amends he didn't want her to get her hopes up at this being an easy fix to whatever it was between them. As she sat at the opposite end her finger tapped against her thigh while shifting to get comfortable. He couldn't remember the last time she looked this jumpy probably not since…well he'd remember later.

After a few false starts of starting the conversation, Korra piped up. "I feel like after being friends all this time, we should know each other better than this Bolin." She moved her feet on the couch, leaning into it with the rest of her body. "I don't want to argue with you knowing that." He watched ceiling soaking in everything she was saying.

"Korra, I can't read your mind. I may not be able to hide my emotions but you hide yours well. That hurts more than it helps especially when I don't know how you fell about other people." Bolin turned his head to her, staring in her scenic blue eyes. "I saw this ugly picture and it reminded me of us." Korra threw him a quizzical look and grimaced slightly. "I didn't mean that our relationship is ugly, it's a mess….no – it's complicated." Feeling like he was sinking deeper in to polarbear dog dung, Bolin cleared his throat and gathered his thoughts together.

"What I'm trying to say is that despite the messy implications, I see the marvel, the beauty in you and me." He moved closer to her as he poured his heart to her. "You are special to me Korra. I think you are smart, your persistence is golden to me, and you give me the motivation to be a better me." Touching her face to wipe away the tears that now formed on her face, he gently touched her lips with a chaste kiss.

"Here we are back at square one." She whispered to him as her forehead met his. "I love you." They spoke in unison and soon the chaste kisses became gentle nibbles on his bottom lip. Leaning into him she climbed into his lap, Bolin intertwined his fingers in Korra's as her gentle nibbles became deep kisses.

"Am I your guy?" he asked in between kisses, she placed her hand on her chin and thought for a minute.

"Yes of course you are!" She smiled and laid more kisses in to him.

Bolin picked Korra up as she was straddled around his waist and carried her in to his room, since it was closer. Laying her out on the bed he laid next to her. Ghosting his hand over her body, he settled on the button of her pants. Bolin unbuttoned and unzipped the pants with care and tenderness, he wanted this to last.

Korra's breath began to slow down with anticipation as Bolin slowly stripped her of her bottom bearings. He was off the bed and faced with the bottomless splendor that was Korra. Gently gripping her thighs Bolin nudged them open and placed love bites down the inside of her thigh. She gasped when he made the connection to her pearl. Bolin kissed and devoured her like his favorite ice cream as she writhed and clung to his hair. She panted hard as Bolin dove in, completely submerging himself into her. Reduced to a crying mess in bed, Korra had never experienced love making on this level.

"Did I hurt you?"

Bolin stopped and climbed up to her face. Gazing at his face, it was glistening and his hair was frazzled, she smiled and shook her head. Palming his face, she felt the heat pool in her stomach as she made mental reminders of his face.

"You're amazing."

Somewhere the primal lust they felt took over as they watched each other. He pulled her in for a rough kiss and sat her on top, she could taste herself on his lips and it drove her wild. With Bolin's fingertips pressing her sides, he held her tightly as they slowly grind their bodies together. The clothing that was left on them became a fixture in the sea of hardwood flooring. This session was unlike the first one, a far cry from it. As their bodies meld together she knew this wasn't sex. This was love and love was every part of him inside of her.

Being on top she leaned down and locked her fingers with his, pinning him in an endless cycle of intensity as she rolled her hips deeper into his. He groaned her name and moved to nip at her neck greedily. She had turned the young man into a man and she loved every minute of it. He slipped his fingers from her hold and grabbed her hips firmly and flipped her over. Korra couldn't help but yelp giddily, Bolin was now in control. As the sweat sheathed them he felt like he fell in love with her all over again; he kissed her deeper than he ever had as his hips intensified their calling for hers.

Korra gently crooned his name and nothing matter as long as she was pleased, he was the one to give her that. As she was close to her climax, it was finally time to put in the real work he thought as he pushed himself harder. She closed her eyes tightly and pressed him closer as they both hit the culmination of their love-making. Bolin slid off of her and on to the side of her, draping his arm over her. Korra turned tucking herself into him and smiled with her eyes closed. She mouthed the words 'I love you' as she drifted off to sleep.

"I love you too" he replied as he pulled her in tighter.

Tenderly kissed by love, they laid upon each other as if the rest of the world didn't matter.
