A/N: Day 2 is here! They still have an established relationship in this story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra (forgot to include this in the first one)
A flash of lightning lit up the room, soon followed by a thunderous boom. Bolin lie in bed, clutching the blankets to his chest and squeezing his eyes shut. The rain came down in the sheets, pounding on the roof. Another flash, another boom, memories filling his mind, he couldn't take it.
Bolin sat up in bed swinging his legs over the side. This thunderstorm was the death of him. Once again a flash of lightning illuminated the room, within the blink of an eye a clash of thunder exploded; it shook the room violently and made his eardrums ring. He pulled on his hair and closed his eyes as the tears began to spill.
"Bolin, are you all right," he barely heard the quiet voice over the noise of the storm. And strong hand gripped his shoulder, and he turned to see Iroh half-asleep, worry in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm f-fine," Bolin sniffed, rubbing the tears away. Iroh sat up and scooted across the bed to sit next to where Bolin was. He wrapped an arm around the Earthbender's shoulders, pulling him close.
"Well, you sure don't look fine. If there's something wrong, you know you can tell me anything," Iroh assured. Bolin sniffed again, using his palm to rub at his eyes.
"It's the storm," he began, "I mean, uh, when I was little and it stormed my parents would always let me sleep with them, they said it was something most parents did, but I felt like I was truly protected from any harm the storm could bring. When my parents died, Mako always did the same thing, but as we got older he never did that and I regained my fear of storms."
A few tears escaped his eyes as he talked. Iroh pulled the boy closer and placed a small kiss on his forehead. "You know, I wouldn't mind doing the same thing. You know I'll do everything in my power to protect you from anything, Bo. And if this is what you need, then I'll be more than happy to give," Iroh explained.
Bolin smiled gratefully as he pulled the general in for a kiss. "Thank you," Bolin whispered into the kiss.
"Anything for you, my little turtleduckling," Iroh murmured. Iroh kissed him for a little while longer before laying down on the bed; he wrapped his arms around Bolin's waist, with his chest to the Earthbender's back
Bolin sighed, melting into the touch. It didn't take long before the both of them were in a deep sleep, the storm completely forgotten.
Sunlight reached his eyes, quickly awakening him. Bolin grumbled and used his hands to block out the sun. He turned around to face Iroh, his arms still wrapped around him. The younger man buried his face in Iroh's chest as he listened to the general yawn. "Well, good morning, Bo," he said, voice thick with sleep.
Bolin hummed in response, and pulled himself closer. Iroh chuckled quietly, placing a kiss on his forehead. "Thank you, 'Roh," Bolin muttered into his chest.
"You're welcome, Bo," he replied. Iroh wrapped his arms back around Bolin's waist; and the two remained in bed, wrapped in each other's arms, as the sunlight filled their room with its light and protection.
A/N: It's a shorty, it's cute, and the feels are at a max! Haha~Well I hope you liked it, please R&R!
