This was it. Go time. He'd grabbed the air bison by the horns (so to speak) and had asked her out after their last match. She was looking a little bummed — probably because Mako was being a butt about the match. Again. — and what better way to cheer up the most fabulous girl alive than by taking her out on the most mind-blowingest date of her life?
They had parted ways after the match, mainly because Korra had wanted to go take a shower. Sure, yeah, he got that. Really, who'd want to go on a date smelling like sweat and the Drink? (Seriously, when was the last time they changed the water in that thing? Phew!) So, while Korra headed to the Island, he had headed upstairs to get ready.
The hot water really hit the spot. But the shower was quick - he didn't want to be late for the Most Important Night Ever. Bolin combed back his hair, borrowed a little pomade from Mako — just a little. No one wanted hair too greasy to run fingers through — then brushed his teeth and put on a clean set of clothes.
Maybe, if things went well tonight, they could double-date with Mako and Asami! That would be the BEST thing, probably.
Checking his looks in the mirror once more before he left (Lookin' good, hot stuff!), Bolin slipped out of the Arena grounds shortly before seven. The sun had already fallen, and the night was pleasantly crisp as he sped on the ferry toward Air Temple Island.
The closer he got, the faster the butterflies in his stomach fluttered. It wasn't that he was nervous, necessarily, because Korra was his friend first. They'd have a good time, no matter what! But he really, really liked her too. Bolin hoped in his heart of hearts that the date would end really well, and he could ask her for another, and they could be the Unstoppable Duo of Awesome and Also Love.
When the ferry docked, he all but sped toward the Island, nearly knocking over an Acolyte in his hurry. "Sorry--!" he called back, not stopping until he reached the main courtyard. He asked for Korra, and soon she was at the door, a vision of strength and beauty. She dressed like she normally did, but still, she took his breath away.
Wow.
Composing himself, he sauntered up to her and draped an arm around her shoulders. "Are you ready for your night of Magical Adventure?" he asked, sweeping his hand over the city's skyline to encompass it all. "Personally guaranteed by this handsome young man next to you to be the fabulousest night you've had in this city."
He grinned widely. "You look great."
