Bolin took her to Narook's Seaweed Noodlery as he led to her a table and ordered their food. Once their food arrived they began to eat silence with Bolin slurping loudly as he ate.
She giggled and ate her food.
"So, how do you like it so far?" He asked as he swallowed another mouthful of noodles.
"Mmm, it's delicious." She said sucking another mouthful of noodles. The taste was sweet and juicy with a hint of spice. She could never acquire the taste of the watertribe food no matter how hard she tried. This was exactly like the food her mother would make.
She pushed the thought away as she focused on her date with Bolin. "It's very delicious. I didn't realize how much I miss water tribe food until now."
She smiled a bit sadly as she drank her water.
"That's great!" Bolin said as he slurped his noodle. "Cause this is my favorite joint. See? You love water tribe food. I love water tribe food...just another reason we're so great together."
She smiled at the thought. "They are good noodles."
He took her to Kwaang's Cuisine for some drinks and they sat down and they talked to each other, getting to know each other in a way that only true souls could know each other.
Strengths and Weaknesses.
Laughter and Seriousness.
Tears and Sadness.
Bolin knew her in a way no one else knew. He knew everything about her, everything except her curse. She couldn't tell him even though she was tempted. He was really sweet and cute and had great humor. It seemed like nothing made him upset.
She wished she was more like him. Be optimistic and enjoy life.
Oh how she wished for that.
Bolin slurped his drink then burped loudly, covering his mouth in embarrassment as his cheeks blushed. She smiled and felt sorry for his embarrassment and wanted to get rid of his embarrassment. So, she drank heavily and burped loudly without restraint.
He looked at her in disbelief and shock and then started to laugh and soon they were having a belching contest.
She couldn't stop laughing at his comical face when he burped. She had so much fun with Bolin that she didn't notice the sky starting to darken.
She was oohing and aahing from atop of the Harmony Tower, watching the people milling about and around.
They looked like little dots as the Tower gave off a brilliant yellow glow from the lights.
The breeze was cool as it blew against her face and hair. This was the most calm she had ever felt in a long time.
She was so lost in the sight that she didn't notice the way Bolin was gazing at her, a gaze that showed his deepening feelings for her or the moon that was creeping up slowly into the sky.
Review please!
