Goodnight, sleep well <3
EDIT - Well, after a few hours, I completed it. I will say I didn't go through with the Mako and Asami portion at the pool because I felt it would detract from the Bolin and Korra portion of the post and with the pace I was going, I was too invested on Korra's emotions to really set aside something good for Asami and Mako. For that I apologize. This is a reply you'll either love or hate, and the more I wrote and tried to put myself in her position, the more emotional it seemed to become and that's what came of it. I hope you don't think it's too early for her to come to realize her faults with him, but I had fun regardless. That was a very fun thing to write, and it was one of the reasons I wanted to do this in the first place. Korra realizing her faults, questioning why everyone, especially Bolin, stood by her. Wondering why he never got angry after everything. It all led up to this moment, and depending on how you decide to proceed I think this could be a really beautiful moment between the two. Bolin's affectionate flame for her was dying, but I think Korra's could be lit with the right words and the right actions. She just can't get over the realization that she kinda sucks, thus the redundancy that is her understandable pain and confusion once it must be confronted.
I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'll be rooting for Bolin in the upcoming post, he deserves this.
-collapses from emotions-
EDIT 2 - Well I'm at that point where I'm doubting my ability again. If you don't like how Korra reacted, let me know and I'll rewrite the second half. I thought it made sense considering she was a character who takes things hard when someone delivers her some news she doesn't like, it was very clear in Season 2 and Season 1. She's emotional when the news given directly impacts her at the core and that's what Bolin did. Anyway ...yeah ...imma go feel bad at campus today.
EDIT 3 - OH GOD I AM A BUNDLE OF LOW SELF ESTEEM SLEEP DEPRIVED EMOTIONS. PLEASE DON'T HATE MEEEE.
EDIT 4 - I return and survived college without decking someone in the face, I'm a grumpy bear when I'm tired :I then I thought that Korra's sputtering and near-realization that Bolin's feelings for her hadn't really vanished, that these characters are already developed prior to this rp. That brought me a little comfort.
