Bolin is face to face with Amon, his wrists are tightly bound behind his back. He saw what happened to Zolt, Amon will give him a chance to fight for his bending. The Lieutenant walked over and picked him up, untying Bolin's bound hands. Amon looks at Bolin and gives a slight chuckle. Bolin is afraid. He readies his stance knowing his lack of traditional bending will be his downfall. Bolin looks to the audience, their menacing stares slowly weakening him mentally. He's lost in thought and doesn't realize Amon's already started running after him. He tries to pick up a piece of the stage but Amon was quick and had already chi blocked both his arms. He knocked Bolin on his knees and placed his hand on his forehead, a sharp pain shot through Bolin's skull...

Bolin's eyes snapped open, It was just a dream, he thought. The nightmares were getting worse, there was no way he could tell Korra and give her another thing to worry about. He looked down and saw Korra still cradled in his arms. It was dark out, most likely it was around midnight, there were no signs Mako came home last night. Mako. Bolin knew he needed to talk to Mako alone, without Korra. Korra was still sound asleep, her arm resting gracefully on Bolin's chest. He decided to move her to bed, he carefully picked her up the way you would carry a sleeping baby. He walked to his room and carefully laid her down on the bed, and slipped into some more comfortable pajamas. He crawled into bed and pulled the blankets over Korra and himself. He placed on arm under her neck, careful not to disturb her, and the other around her stomach. Bolin gave her a soft kiss on her neck and quietly drifted back asleep careful to avoid any thoughts of his recent nightmares.

Bolin woke up around nine o'clock, Korra wasn't in bed anymore. He got up and walked into the living room and saw Korra sitting on the couch smiling at him. "Good morning!" She got up and gave him a hug, Bolin quickly returned the gesture, finding comfort in her hugs had become very common. "Have you heard from Mako at all?" There was concern in Korra's voice. "No, I know he can handle himself, but I'm still worried." Bolin looked at the ground. "Worried about what?" There it was, a familiar voice that made Bolin's eyes light up like a light bulb. 'Mako!" Bolin whipped around to see Mako standing there, clothes wrinkled. "Where were you last night?" Korra said. Bolin had almost forgotten Korra was there. "I stayed with Asami last night, after I stormed off I found her at the Memorial. I was angry, and I should've came home. I'm sorry." Mako voice suddenly sounded solemn. "No, Mako, I should be apologizing. I shouldn't have yelled at you." Bolin's voice showed empathy. He turned to Korra, "Hey Korra, do you think you could give us a bit, I'm sure Tenzins worried about you." Korra got up and walked over to him, "Sure thing." She kissed him on the cheek and walked out the door. They both decided it would be best if they didn't say, "I love you," in front of Mako.

"Look, Mako, I want to apologize for what happened yesterday. I know how protective you can be." Bolin didn't once look at the ground, like his usual habit, while speaking to Mako. Mako took this as a sign of Bolin standing up for himself, he was trying to show Mako he didn't need to be protected anymore. That he was old enough to make his own decisions, that he was a man. "Bolin, I'm the one that should be apologizing, I should've known that you're old enough to make your own decisions. You don't need me looking out for you anymore." Mako eyes immediately shot downward, Bolin had obviously picked up the habit him. "Look, I know you like Korra, and she obviously likes you back, the same with me and Asami. I guess, I've been so wrapped up in protecting you, I didn't realize you were growing up." Mako forced his eyes to meet Bolin's, they were brothers, they had a relationship nothing could come between. They had a brother' bond. "I have no problem with Korra staying the night here, just don't do anything stupid, ok?" Mako's tone was assertive. "Of course Mako." Bolin walked over and gave Mako a hug, Bolin's hug always reassured Mako they would be okay when they were younger.

Mako and Bolin sat around the attic until Korra returned, not much was said. When Korra finally returned Bolin jumped off the couch and gave her a huge hug, she loved his hugs, they gave a sense of safety and security. "Mako says he's okay if you stay here!" Bolin's voice was ecstatic. "Really? That's great! I talked to Tenzin and he says if I wanna stay here, I have to check in once a day and spend two nights a week at the island." Korra was practically giddy with happiness. Bolin gave her another big hug. "Right, I'm gonna go meet up with Asami. See you guys later." Mako got up and walked out the door.

"Well, looks like were all by ourselves for now." Bolin gave a suggestive wink. Korra moved her face closer to Bolin's, "I guess we do." Her face was mere centimeters from his. She softly rubbed her hand on his cheek and playfull pushed his face away, walking towards his room, only looking back to give a warm smile. Bolin followed her, once in his room Korra led him to the bed, laid him down, and walked out the bedroom door, leaving Bolin by himself. "Aww, come on Korra. Thats no fair." Bolin got up and walked out to the room and sat with Korra on the couch. "Not yet, pretty boy." She smiled and kissed him on the lips, Bolin placed one hand on the back of Korra's head, kissing back and slowly stroking her hair.
