Healing

Tahno was so grateful Korra was in his life, especially at times like this, when his father was at his worst, when his mother was at her breaking point, when Sura was being particularly cantankerous, and worst of all, when his own demons came to plague him mercilessly, feeding off every fear and insecurity that constantly lurked in his mind. Even at his lowest point, Korra seemed to instinctively know just what to do to put him back at ease. She would only have to come to him with a tender smile and hold his face in her soft, warm hands for him to feel the stress instantly start to melt away. Then she would bring her lips to his and kiss him gently before pulling him into a firm hug, trying to heal with her love the hurts she hadn't caused. Korra did this because she didn't know what to say and didn't know what else to do. She would fix everything for him it were in her power. She wished she could make all the problems and pain to go away, but all she could do was make sure Tahno knew he wasn't alone. That she loved him and was there for him. Would always be there for him.

Tahno held onto her with an air of desperation. Although the knowledge that he possessed scars and wounds on both his body and soul damaged his pride, he would never surrender the powerful healing Korra gave him. Whether it was her hands on his flesh, applying balm, giving him some sort of therapy, or just simply touching him, or the basic act of merely being with him, she always gave him everything she could and never asked for anything in return. But what Tahno didn't realize, was that with as much comfort as Korra gave him, he also had the ability to bring her insurmountable peace. When her heart was disappointed, crushed, betrayed, and left to fend for itself, he came along and carefully picked it back up, treating it with the utmost care and reverence because it was the most precious thing in the world to him. He helped her heal, gave her everything she not only wanted but needed. He was her everything. It was Tahno's own damaged and repaired heart that seemed to be able to soothe hers above anything else. He healed every wound, every hurt; and for that, Korra would be thankful for every day he was in her life.
