The Alluvium Part 1: The Understudy Bolin X OC Legend of Korra

Chapter 6: The Voice in the Night part: 1

Bolin Pov:

"Hey Mako, can you get me another icepack? My face hurts still." I asked while pabu sits on my lap sleeping.

Mako looks at me and sighs in annoyance. He gets up from the couch and walked to the fridge and opened up the freezer to grab an ice pack. While he is in the kitchen we both hear a knock come from the door. I look at him with a questioning look on my face.

"Expecting someone, Bolin?"

I shook my head.

I am definitely not expecting anyone, we paid our rent last week so the landlord wouldn't be stopping by...

Mako tenses and stands up straight. He tossed the icepack on my lap on his way to the door.

He slowly turns the knob and the anticipation kills me. He opens the door just a crack to peak at whomever might be at the door.

"Hey Korra, hey Sakari. Didn't expect to see you two today, I thought you would be resting after last night." Mako greeted.

"Well, Kari and I thought we would stop by and see how the two of you are holding up." Korra replied with plenty of energy.

" Mind if we come in and join you two?" Sakari asked in a quiet tone as if she were exhausted.

"Sure, just don't make a mess." Mako said in sarcastic like tone.

He opened the door wider allowing the girls to enter the loft, pabu must have sensed them come in. He abruptly woke up from his slumber and his eyes sparkled as soon as he saw Sakari.

Sakari POV:

As I entered the loft I see a small furry Pabu make his way to me. I picked him up and placed him on my shoulders. He huffed his small little breath and settled in, making himself at home. Earning a chuckle from myself and Bolin.

"Hey Bolin, How are you holding up? I ask him with a face full of concern remembering the events of last night.

"I am doing pretty good if I don't say so myself. Just a bit sore and bruised is all. I should be asking how you're doing. You looked a lot worst than I did and went through so much more." He said returning the face of concern.

"I am doing as best as I can. I am still extremely tired from the past couple of days, but due to Korra's experience with Katara she was able to help the healing process go a little bit faster. Mind If I join you on the couch?" I asked with a yawn.

"I don't mind, come and sit down.. You probably should rest a little bit more anyways."

I made my way over to the couch and looked out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mako and Korra making their way to the Balcony to look out at republic city and "talk" in private... a smile formed on my face as I sat down next to Bolin.

Pabu stood up and performs a big stretch before walking on to the back of the couch settling in between the cushions with a large snort.

Bolin and I chuckled together once again. Bolin re-adjusted himself and sat closer causing us both to blush a little at the close proximity.

I looked into his jade eyes and saw that he was nervous with whatever was about to come out of his mouth.

I gather the courage to start talking once again.

"Bo, I am still in disbelief that we made it out okay. I don't want to ever feel that helpless again. I was wondering if you could help me train? I want to make sure that Amon ccan never get his hands on me again, I think by expanding my knowledge by learning from different earthbenders will help me."
