"What?!" Yuna was shocked, Korra would never hurt someone.

Bolin nodded his head. "Yeah I know..."

"We have to go see him!"

"He's sleeping..." Bolin replied. Part of him didn't want Yuna seeing Mako, after what they just did, she was falling back to Mako.

Yuna puffed," Fine...."

Yuna was unpleased. She wanted to go see how he was doing, a burn to the shoulder, she hated feeling useless.

"Bo.. I'm going to go see someone..." Yuna replied.

"Who?"

".... Korra..."

Bolin shook his head. "That's not a good idea Yuna...."

"I don't care I'm going..." Yuna retorted as she walked out her room.

Bolin threw his back on her bed. 'She doesn't love me... No one does, they always go after Mako....' Bolin told himself. 'I need to get out of here, some time alone for myself...' Bolin continued as he walked out of Yuna's room and shut the door.

*****************

Yuna made it to Korra's room. She knocked on the door. Nothing, silence.

"Go away...." Korra moaned back, she felt to depressed to speak with anyone, hatred filled her veins.

Yuna knocked once again, another groan left Korra's mouth. Yuna felt annoyed, she had to speak with Korra. She banged the door with the side of her fist.

'Who is it?' Korra asked herself as she got up from her bed and made her way towards the door. She opened it and wanted to immediately slam the door, it was Yuna.

"What do you want..." Korra scowled at Yuna.

"We need to talk... Please..."

"There's nothing. To talk about...."

Bolinn made his way to the docks, he sat down playing with the water with his bare feet. The United Forces were coming to do some recoil in the city. They wanted the level of Equalists and anyone who were in crimes out of the picture.

Bolin looked away, his head down, looking at his reflection from the water. He was disappointed in himself, confused about himself. He wasn't even sure what he wanted.

"Bolin?" A voice he recognized was heard behind him.

"General Iroh?" Bolin said not even turning his head around.

"Is something the matter, you look depressed..." Iroh replied kneeling next to Bolin.

"I'm fine... You can go back and help around the city..."

Iroh wasn't ignorant, he knew something bothered Bolin.

"Please... Tell me, I want to help you..." Iroh said managing a smile.

"Really?"

Iroh nodded his head, but Bolin didn't see him. "Of course, anything for a friend.." He replied back throwing his arm around Bolin's shoulder.

Bolin looked at Iroh, Their faces inches apart. "Thanks..." Bolin replied. "It's just..." He looked away." I'm so confused right now... I don't know what I want, who I want. Yuna, she'd rather go with Mako than me!"

Iroh massaged Bolin's back. "It'll be okay.. Just let time move on... It's just a phase Bolin... Whose Yuna?"

"A girl that I went out with, but we broke up because I kissed Asami and she kissed Mako and I went to her room and we made out and I.... Korra burned Mako's shoulder and I told Yuna and she wanted to go see him than be with me...." Bolin shook his head. "Sorry that didn't make sense at all..."

"It's okay, I got the gist of it...." Iroh replied. "Look... If she really likes you then she'll tell you, she'll show you what you mean to her."

Bolin turned his head to face Iroh.

"You really think so?"

"I know so...." He smiled back.

'Why is he so nice to me? I've never done anything for him... Oh well, it's nice to have the company of someone who cares about you...'

'Wow, I feel so sorry for him. No one should have to go through that...'

"Hey you want to go grab something to eat?" Iroh asked.

"Uh.. Sure, yeah I wanted to get away from everyone here, I'd like that.." Bolin replied back.

"Do you have any place in mind? Any place!"

"Do you want Water Tribe Noddles? From Narook's?"

Iroh gave him a face of rejection.

"Noodles Bo?"

"Bo?" Bolin interrupted him. "Only Mako calls me that..."

"Sorry! I.. I didn't mean to.. Bolin..."

"No, no it's okay... I like it..." Bolin smiled back.

'What am I doing?' Bolin told himself.

'Iroh! Pull yourself together!'

"You sure?"

"Yeah...."

"Well..." Iroh said standing up. "Would you like any Earth Nation food? Or Fire Nation?"

"Hmm.. Fire Nation sounds great! Something spicy would be nice..."

"Well let's go!" Iroh said enthusiastically.

"I know this sweet restaurant... I hope it's not a bother though..."

"Why would it? I'm inviting you to come eat with me!"

"Okay fine... You've convinced me.."

Iroh looked away, his face blushed.

'Stop that! He's just a friend!'

"Let's go..."

****************

"What do you mean?! You burnt Mako's shoulder! You didn't need to do that!"

"I... It was an accident... I didn't mean to hurt him..."

"Did you at least apologize?"

"Of course! How could you ask such a stupid question!"

Yuna was quiet, Korra already angered her.

"Whatever.." She said making her way towards the door to leave.

'I have to go see Mako, see if he's ok.'
