Or at least that what happened Korra's mind as she fantasized before being brought back to reality by a bruised Bolin shaking her shoulder slightly. "Huh?" she said puzzled.
"I said what do you think? Bolin's got some moves huh?" he asked trying to be suave, but with the shape he was in wasn't working.
But Korra was still starstruck by him as she grabbed him by the collar of his uniform to pull him in close "What did I think? What did I think?! That was amazing!" she said joyously before giving him what was suppose to be a playful shove, but she once again didn't realize her own strength as Bolin was sent tumbling to the floor.
"Gck! There go my ribs.." he moaned.
Realizing what she just did made Korra very guilty and embarrassed "I am so sorry! Here I can help heal you!" She acted quickly by lifting Bolin off the floor and laying him on the bench. "I'm gonna need you to take your shirt off." she said as she got water ready from the waterskin she always kept on her person. (Just like Katara taught her)
"Woah going a little fast aren't we? I'm an old fashioned guy, your going to have to buy me dinner first." he tried to laugh it off only to grimace in pain "Ow..it hurts to laugh."
She giggled at his goofiness "I need skin to skin contact to heal you properly you dork." Bolin thankfully complied as he lifted his shirt to reveal his battered, bruised and perfectly sculpted torso. She was briefly distracted by his amazing muscles but regained her focus bending the water over his wounds. Luckily the damage look worse then it really was so after a few minutes of treatment he was going to be fine.
"Oh man that feels amazing! You really know your stuff huh?" he said very impressed by her healing touch.
"I learned from the best." she said proudly.
"You did more harm then good out there! You almost cost us the match!" Mako scolded his Waterbending teammate as they walked into the podium.
"We won didn't we?"
"Barely!"
"Get off my case pal!" he angrily threw his helmet to the floor and stormed out of the room.
"Useless."
"You guys were incredible out there!" Korra exclaimed happily pausing in her task for a moment.
"Oh you're still here?" he asked rudely.
"Oh you're still a jerk?" she responded in kind.
"And Bo, what were you thinking tanking all those hits like that? You're lucky your fan girl here knows how to heal otherwise you wouldn't be in any shape for the next match!"
"Hey Bolin won the match for you, you ungrateful jerk!" She was getting really tired of this guys attitude and was about to teach him a lesson, but Bolin grabbed her hand to stop her.
"No Korra he's right. The next match is tomorrow and I would be a walking bruise for days without your help. I may have won the match but my stunt could've cost us being in the championship." he said a little disappointed in himself.
Korra couldn't stand see such a sad look on his face. He deserved to be happy and proud of what he accomplished tonight, plus he was so much more handsome with a smile on his face. "That doesn't change the fact that you won. You had every odd stacked against you and did the impossible. That already makes you a champion in my book. All you need to do is make it official to everyone else. And I know you can do it." she said with upmost confidence.
Bolin was really taken a back by this. No one, not even his brother gave him such praise or showed such faith in him. Sure Mako believed in him and praised him, in his own way, but not to this degree. Korra's lovely cyan eyes shone with nothing but honest admiration for him. It left him spellbound.
"If you guys are going to start making out, could you at least wait until I'm not in the room." Mako ruined the moment with a slight tone of disgust.
The two young benders hearing what he said blushed hotly and turned away from each other embarrassed. Korra awkwardly cleared her throat to help regain her composure "Anyway, I've been immersed in Bending my entire life but I never learned how to move like you guys do! It's like there is a whole new style here!" she said with increasing excitement. "After I'm done healing you do you think you could teach me a few tricks?" she asked Bolin eagerly.
"Absolutely!" he answered with just as much enthusiasm.
"Really? Right now? Come on Bolin." Mako asked annoyed once again bringing down the mood.
"Just ignore him. But yeah I can show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my Earthbending will translate to your Waterbending, but we'll figure it out."
"Oh don't worry, I'm also an Earthbender and a Firebender." she said with a proud smirk while lighting her fist on fire to prove it.
Seeing her being able to bend more then one element could only mean one thing "No! Way!" Bolin said in astonishment. He then turned to his brother pointing at her while whispering loudly "The Avatar!"
(A few minutes later)
True to his word as soon as Bolin was all patched up he got right to teaching Korra the basics of Pro-Earthbending, which she of course proved to be a natural at. "Man you're picking this up quick!" he said impressed by her progress. "Got to admit I'm a little jealous. It took me a week to get this good."
"What can I say? Bending just comes naturally to me." she said a little smug, before remembering her frustrating lack of progress in Airbending. "I wish my Airbending came to me just as naturally."
"What's wrong with your Airbending? If you don't mind me asking."
"*Sigh* Ever since I was a kid I could bend Water, Earth and Fire easily, but no matter how hard I try I've never been able to produce a single puff of air. I thought when I moved to Air Temple Island to train with Tenzin I would finally be able to Airbend, but still nothing." She then sat on the floor with her knees tucked into her chest a little depressed after baring her soul.
Bolin was heartbroken seeing such a woman who normally looked like she was ready and able to take on the world in such a sorry state. He racked his brain to try and think of a way to cheer her up. He snapped his fingers when an idea came to him, he didn't know if it would work but he had to try.
