With the match about to begin, it was tough to make his way through the sea of eager bodies, itching to see a fight between two top notch pro bending teams. Bolin spotted Korra but his mind refrained his heart from getting too excited. The past twenty-four hours flashed in front of his eyes...eating noodles together, looking out over the bay, the flowers bought, Mako, leaving Korra feeling like his heart had been torn from his chest against his will. Not to mention he only just found out about the kiss between Mako and Korra. He wasn't really upset about that. After all, Korra could kiss whoever she wanted, though he took offense to it being his brother who already had a girlfriend. He never knew Korra's judgement could be so poor...
Still, he was willing to try and move on.
He and Korra were friends. At least he wanted to be and he hoped his words last night would help push him past this infatuation he had with her, since it seemed to be painfully and embarrassingly one-sided. Making his way toward the Avatar, he gave her a nod. "Uh yep. Mako is meeting up with Asami tonight it seems..." The boy trailed off, not sure if he wanted to clue Korra into the fact he knew about her and Mako. At the same time, it was nice to not bring it up. At least for the time being. Bolin cleared his throat and nudged his head toward the stadium where many chants could be heard. "We better grab some seats before we gotta crash the nose bleeds." He gave her a gentle smirk.
The two headed into the arena and waved to the fans who recognized them before they continued to find their seats. Bolin kept glancing at the girl as they walked, not sure why he felt so disappointed in her. Last night, he had been upset about her dishonesty and now he felt the same feeling rising from within him. It was nearly suffocating him. He didn't think Korra or Mako would have crossed that invisible but very present line between them. He also didn't know they had that much of a connection. Before, Mako always seemed aloof when it came to Korra. While Bolin could forgive his brother, and while he would likely forgive Korra, it didn't change the fact that he felt a bit blindsided.
'I have no right to be jealous...it's not she knew how I felt last night until laid I everything out on the table. I should have said something sooner.' He thought to himself, stuffing his hands into his pockets as they headed up the stairs to their seats. Sitting down, he let out a small sigh and turned his attention to the arena in front of them. He was already planning out their own team's strategy and he had hopes that the Fire Ferrets would make it to the very end and become champs. A true underdog story.
Bolin looked to Korra for a few moments. It seemed silly and nearly impossible but it almost felt as though he couldn't quite recognize her. Something was different about her. Maybe it was how he viewed her. He knew her physical appearance hadn't changed but he could tell something was different about her. About them. "They look pretty evenly matched huh?" He commented, not his usual loud cheering self at other matches. He just wasn't sure if he should talk about last night or not. He didn't really want to. "So uh you get home okay...last night?" The kindness in him did feel a bit bad about not seeing her back to the island or at least the dock. "Any later and Tenzin would have probably made Lin send out some kind search party." He attempted to joke.
