Walking down the halls of the Pro-Bending Arena with Pabu on your shoulder, pushing a cart of snacks for your friends. Dressed in a yellow kimono with maple leafs the color of Pabu's fur, with a ribbon to match as well. Pabu looks at all the food you had made for them.
You could not help but softly giggle at him"Don't worry Pabu there is enough for you too. But we have to eat with everyone. It's not polite to eat without them."you tell him. He looks at you squeaking, you rub your nose with his. Which he does back to you, you both stop as you look ahead. Finally able to learn the halls now, thanks to Korra and the guys showing you again aroudn the whole place which took half a day. Also they just left markers for you on the wall to find your way.
You smile to yourself, today was the Fire Ferrets first match in the finals. They where super exicted and you where too. Though you more happy to have Korra back, that night when she left to fight Amon. You thought the worst had happen to her. Afraid to lose a dear friend. Sleeping in her room with Naga.
To only be awoken by her, once you saw her she held onto her tightly you had tear stain cheeks from crying in your sleep. She did not lose her bending which was good. She also embraced you in a tight hug as well, and apologizing to you about what happen to you, as well causing you to worry over her. You told her that none of it mattered.
Your father who was standing by left you two alone to reconcile.
Looking down at your wrist that also had the bracelet that Bolin gave you, it was still wrapped though not like it was before. Your injuries from that night healed better after Korra came back. She also used her healing ability that your Gran-Gran taught her on you.
"These new uniforms look great"Mako's voice echos in the hall.
You stop, then start back up turning to come into the training room. You find everyone still there plus Asami Sato, Mako's new girlfriend as well daughter of Hiroshi Sato the man who invented the Satomoblies.
Asami was pretty you had to give her that."Good afternoon Kashi"she greets you first.
Everyone turns to look at you, you smile at them sweetly"Good afternoon Asami, I brought you guys some snacks."you tell everyone.
"Awesome"Bolin waste not time going over to the cart, he starts to eat.
Korra comes and joins him"Mmmmm"she comments your food.
"Mako, I cleaned you and Bolin's clothes as well oraginzed somethings up in your room. Also I restocked some of your food. I hope that was alright. I even made you both lunch as well dinner you just have to warm it up."you tell him.
"Thanks Kashi"Mako tells you, you smile at him. Ever since that day told Bolin how you would care for him and his brother's room in the Arena, you have kept your word on it. While they trained you did your cleaning and cooking as well anything else you could think of."Dinner should be good, though lunch me and Asami have a lunch date."
"Oh."you tell him.
He saw the look on your face"But I can eat it tomorrow"he quickly covers it up with a smile.
You look up at him, and smile agreeing with him."Hey Kashi, look at the Fire Ferrets new uniforms."Asami comes over to you to show you it."What do you think?"
You look at the uniform shirt, it had her father's company's logo on it. It grew quiet in the room, Korra and Bolin look at you. They watch as you try to stop your face from cringing up, sad from seeing this.
After Bolin had seen your drawings and new designs for the Fire Ferrets uniforms he showed and told everyone else. They all liked it, and Mako said he make sure that they would have one of your designs on their uniform.
Mako saw the look on your face, he was about to say something"Their lovely"you smile at her, as you swallow hard.
She smiles at you"Glad you like them."
You just kept up your smile, taking your hands off the bar of the cart. Quickly you bow to them all"Excuse me, I have to return home now. I promised me mother that I would...her make some more leechy juice. Meelo loves that stuff."Placing Pabu down, you quickly leave the group.
Korra and Bolin look at eachother then down the way you went.
Back on the island, due to the weather you had switch to your clothes to your winter kimonos, which where alot longer then your normal ones.
In the kitchen you where just setting things up to get dinner started. Once that was done, you go and set up the dinning room for the others, it was quiet as you placed the dishes down.
"There you are Kashi"Pema calls to you, you look at your mother, she smiles at you."Come on a join me for a walk."
You agree with her, as you follow her outside. It was quiet with you both."Whats wrong Kashi?"she asked you.
"Nothing, just trying to figure out what to make for dinner."you lie to her.
She smirks at you arching an eyebrow, she stops you by placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. You look at her."Kashi..."she smiles at you motherly. But just leaves it at that, she starts back up.
You followed beside her, soon talking again like you alway did with your mother. Until you both stumble up on Korra and your two younger sisters talking to the Avatar about love.
Your mother over hears, catching Korra's attention"Pema... and Kashi how long have you both been standing there?"Korra asked you and your mother.
Your mother chuckles softly"Long enough"Pema tells"But trust me I know what your going through, years ago I was in the same situation with Tezin."Pema walks over to her Korra and her youngest daughters.
"Daddy was in-love with someone else before you?"Ikki was surprised.
"That's right."Pema tells her daughter.
"So what did you do?"Korra asked.
Pema looks at her"Well for the longest time I did nothing. I was so shy and scared of rejection, but watching my soulmate spend the rest of his life with the wrong women became to painful. So I so hung my chin out there and confessed my love to Tezin. And the rest is history"Pema places her hands on her belly.
"Awwww"Korra, Ikki and Jinora gush over what your mother said.
You listen to what your mother said"So Kashi are you going to do the samething to that Bolin boy? You always talk about or draw about in your book?"Ikki asked you making everyone look at you.
Causing you to get embarrassed deeply, as you turn red."W-what?"you shutter looking at her.
"You like Bolin?"Korra asked you with a smirk.
You look at her"N-No"you use your kimono sleeve to cover your mouth as well hide your blush.
"She does, I saw her drawings of him. She's making a love story about her and Bolin as well."Ikki kept telling everyone about what you had up in your room.
"It is rather good. As well the poems."Jinora agrees with her younger sister.
"Jinora...Ikki!"you scold them, though still embarrassed by it.
Pema could not help but chuckle somemore at this"So that's why you look at the Pro-Bending Arena so much."
"Mother..."you hide your face more"Besides...he wouldn't like me back"you mumble the last part.
A gentle hand landed on your shoulder, looking up you see it was your mother's. She smiles at you tenderly, taking your hand in her's"Don't be shy"she winks at you playfully.
You understood, and smile back her softly. Ikki giggles in the back"Aww man we better hurry up Kashi the match is going to start soon."Korra tells you, as she pulls you away from the others."Wish us luck"she yells to your family.
They wave at you both, getting on Kida you both fly over to the Arena. On your way there, Korra asked you about not having your drawing on the uniform. You informed her that it was alright. Once arriving, Korra waste no time as she goes and gets ready. Allowing you to go to the balcony to where you could wait for the team. Pabu was with you, you sat on the bench with him in your lap.
As you thought of what your mother had said about telling someone how you feel. Your younger sisters even though wrong how they found out about your feelings for Bolin.
It was true you did have feelings for Bolin, Mako's younger earthbending brother. Thinking back to how it started, it was way before you meet them through Korra. You could easily remember it on how you meet Bolin, those kind soft green eyes. That made you feel happy.
A smile came to your face as you close your eyes thinking about them. Giving you a warm feeling inside. Pabu looks up at you trying understand why you where acting the way you where.
Lost in your thoughts of Bolin, you did not noticed them coming in till you felt someone tap you on your head. Opening your eyes, to find Bolin again invading your personal space with his smile. Causing you to blush as you just stare at him.
Then try to reach for something only to fall out of your seat onto the ground. You regain yourself.
"Sorry Kashi"Bolin smiles at you helping you up.
"...I-it's alright"you mumble to yourself not looking at him. He arches an eyebrow at you.
"Come on Bolin"Mako calls to his brother.
"Coming"he yells at him, turning back to you. Quickly giving you a hug"Wish us luck"he tells you then leaves to join his team. As they stand on the platform that took them to the pro-bending platform.
Thinking about what your mother said, you get up quickly as you rush to call out to him, only to stop yourself"...Good luck"you say barely above a whisper, as you drop your head. Pabu looks up at you then at Bolin.
The match started the Fire Ferrets up against the Red Sand Rabaroos.
You watched the match go on, the Fire Ferrets where doing really good. The excitement you held inside showed once they won. Holding onto Pabu you jump up and down twirling around happy they won. Again not paying attention when the team came back, till you tripped over your feet fall backwards only to be caught.
Looking up, it was Bolin. He flashes you his smile, as he picks you up in his arms. Since you where small compared to him, you felt that way. As you use Pabu to hide your blush. You felt his deep chuckle. He places you down, slowly.
You get out his arms, still blushing. Asami comes in to congratulate everyone on the win. She goes over to Mako, using that you leave the group with Pabu. Making sure you where far enough away from the group.
Coming to a stop exhaling hard as you stood infront of the window with Pabu in your arms. He looks up at you.
Looking down at him"This is alot harder then I thought...I can't do this Pabu."you tell him"I can't...tell Bolin how I feel. He's just playing with me."
Pabu squeaks as he licks your hand for comfort. You smile at him, then look out the window.
"There you are Kashi"Korra's calls to you, you turn to find her and Bolin there."We're going to get some seaweed noodles, come on and join us."she tells you.
You look at her then to Bolin. Something clicked in your mind, and you hope it was not true. But you agreed to go.
At Narook's Seaweed Noodlery, you had a good time with Bolin and Korra. You got another bowl of noodles, that you ordered for Naga."I'm going to go and give this to Naga"you tell them, as you get up and leave them.
"Ok take your time"Bolin tells you.
You heard him, as you heart drops. He and Korra watch you both. Once you left, Bolin turns quickly to Korra.
Outside your place the bowl down for Naga to eat, which she enjoyed. You pet her gently on the head, your eyes drop as you think back seeing Korra and Bolin coming to get you and take you get some noodles. Maybe it wasn't what you thought. Korra knew how you felt about Bolin, she would do what you thought she was doing.
Petting Naga once more, before she quickly hears a certain whistle getting up you quickly grab onto her as she goes and burst her head through the window of the shop roaring whoever it was. Causing you to fly off her ramming right onto the person in the center.
"I am so sorry"you tell them as you lift yourself up looking at them. To find a pale skin teen boy with silky black hair and silverish grey eyes.
He gives you sly smirk"I'm not"he tells you, you get up off him. Dusting yourself off, he gets up dusting himself off as he fixes his hair. Quickly he grabs you by your chin, turning you to look at him. He gets down to your level. With a quick movement of his hand he pushes your bangs back behind your ear."Now whats a pretty little thing like yourself doing here?"
"She's with us"Korra tells him, as she slaps his hand away from you.
They boy looks at her then down at you still with the same smirk on, he steps closer towering over you. He cups our face pulling you away from Korra."Whats your name princess?"
"...K-Kashi."you tell him uncomfortably.
His smirk got bigger"I must say your name fits you very Tahno. Are you a bender?"
"N-no"you tell him.
"Whats a princess like you doing with a bunch of loser like the Fire Ferrets? Wouldn't you like to be group or better yet someone who is a real player?"he moves closer to you.
Causing you to freak out a bit"Come on what do you say?"Tahno pulls you closer to him.
"Ok, cut it out"Bolin steps in breaking you and Tahno up.
He steps back, as Korra comes and stands infront of you while Naga growls at him. You go by Naga and hold onto her. Tahno looks at you still with his smirk on, then at Korra and Bolin. Who give him a stern look ready to fight Tahno.
"I see...well then..."he looks pass Korra and Bolin at you, he winks at you"If you change your mind princess."with that he leaves with his group.
Korra and Bolin watch him, then turn back to you"Kashi you ok?"Korra asked you concerned.
"Yes"you tell them both, as you held onto Naga.
"That's good, ready to go?"Bolin asked you.
You nod your head slowly at him, after paying for the food you three leave. But you felt Tahno watching you as you hurry up and leave.
Once outside, Korra takes out a bison whistle Kida comes look at her."Why don't you head back home Kashi. Me and Bolin have got to talk."Korra tells you.
You look at her, then at Bolin. Who for the first time looks away from you, with no smile. Looking back at Korra she had on the smile, you wanted to say something but choose not too. Getting on Kida you take off heading back to the temple.
Once you got home, you hurry up to your room. As you just lay down on your bed with your back to the door.
A knock came to your door as it opens up, it was your mother"Kashi, sweetie are you alright?"she asked you.
"...Yes mom, I'm fine"you tell her as you pull your covers over you.
The next evening, the Fire Ferrets had another match though you did not go with them. You just stayed back home on the island. Staying to yourself, keeping quiet during airbending training with your father, doing your chores and just went to bed without eating.
The next morning, you where just sitting up in your room. When a knock on your door came, it open. It was Jinora and Ikki.
"Are you alright Kashi?"Jinora asked you worried.
They both come over to you"What are you doing?"Ikki asked you worried as well, looking at your blank paper. She then looks at her older sister who looks at her as well worried. They look back at you.
"...I...lost...Bolin."you confess to them both.
"What?"Ikki"But how?! You ended your story so soon?"
You drop your head down a bit"...He never heard me. Why would he."you tell them.
"Did you even tell him?"Jinora asked you.
You shake your head no"Then how do you know you lost him?"Ikki yells at you frustrated"You need to go down there and tell on lets go!"she grabs you by the wrist and starts to pull you.
But you didn't budge at all, your two sisters look at you worried.
They hear footsteps, looking they see Korra. She makes a hush sound. Then a gesture for them to leave. They do as she asked.
Once the two of them where gone, she goes over to you."Kashi..."Korra calls to you, you turn around to her. She looks at you with a small smirk.
Your eyes flash with anger then quickly turn to sadness as you turn away from Korra."Happy? You won."
She understood"Look Kashi, it's not what you think with me and Bolin."she tells you trying to clear up everything"I promise you, infact I have some good news for you."she gets infront of your face with a huge smile"I'll tell you if you come to our match tonight."
That night, the Fire Ferrets had their last match against the Buzzard Wasps.
The match was not going well, infact the team was not doing its best at all. They kept getting hit and knocked backed. Loosing two matches.
Feet ran down the halls pounding on the ground. Bursting through the door of the balcony. It was you, not caring at all.
"Go Fire Ferrets! Go Bolin!"you yell to the team and him.
He heard you, as he turns and looks at you. He smiles which caught him off guard. He got hit hard in his shoulder, causing him to fall into the water below, along with his brother. You gasp as you see this. Korra was able to score the winning match. Tying Fire Ferrets and Buzzard Wasps.
So they had a coin toss and Fire Ferrets won the game. Everyone cheers. You do as well, as the team comes to the balcony where you where waiting for them. Due to your excitement you congratulate each of them. But you hug Bolin the longest, you then realize this as step back.
"So-Sorry"you tell him.
He laughs at this"Naw, its fine."he tells you as he goes and sits down, Korra goes over to him and starts to heal him like she did with you using water. You go over to him as well, Asami comes in and congrats everyone as well mainly Korra.
"Hey Kashi"Bolin calls to you, you look at him.
"Yes?"you ask him.
He gives you his famous smile, you give him a cute one with he could say anything the next team walks in. It was Tahno's team, he makes a comment about the Fire Ferrets then spots you.
"Pay attention princess."he quickly caress the side of your cheek. As he and team go out to the platform, his touch gave you goosebumps, you turn back to your team. But turn to look at Tahno and his group and to your surprised he and team defeats the others ones criticully injuring them.
You gasp with your mouth wide open, the others look and see as well. Tahno and his team come back.
Making his way over to you, as you close your mouth quickly. Looking up at him scared. He saw it causing him to smile at you. He gets down to your level again, using his pointer finger to lift up your chin to look at him, he leans closer to you. Till he was close to your ear.
"What did I tell you princess."he tells you smoothly, as he comes back, as his lips brush up against your cheek."You wanna come to a real team, you know where to find me."
Bolin then stands up and gets in his way, Tahno moves back as he smirks at Bolin, then winks at you as he leaves. You watch him, when you realized that Bolin was holding onto you protectively. As he kept staring at the way Tahno went with his group
