Rare Earth Element

Chapter 6- And The Mountain Moved

Irulan chuckled, her laughter melting the steel in her eyes. “You don’t need me to cosign, Mr. Confident,” she replied, nuzzling Pabu's nose. The lovable Earthbender hadn’t changed, which was a sigh of relief; however he'd gotten taller, more buff, and even a tad more charismatic. His self-assurance and humor was what enchanted her in their youth, making her heart flutter like a million dragonmoths every time she saw him. In her wildest of daydreams, she’d given him privy; let him have his way with her in the arena skybox.

'Calm down, girl,' she thought, feeling her cheeks growing warm , feeling Bolin's gaze upon her.

”Soooooo…let me get this straight, friend of mine; you’ve been coming to my matches, but you never made your presence known?” he asked, looking her up and down trying to force her eyes from Pabu’s. “Care to explain?”

Smiling, hating to be put on the spot, Irulan finally tore her attention from the lovable Fireferret, in exchage for the lovable Earthbender. ‘I figured you had a girlfriend or something,” she answered honestly. “I didn’t want any shit to start. Girls are jealous you know. You got fangirls out the wazoo…I mean, shit look at you. You’re fucking hot.”

”Arrrghhh..language, Lani. You’ve got a serious potty mouth!” he playfully scolded, placing a finger against her lips. In return, she kissed it, making his knees buckle slightly.

” Now, you've got potty finger. I’m sure you’ve heard worse in your lifetime,” she remarked with a smirk. “So are you taken or what?”

“Huh?” asked Bolin with wide green eyes and a trap jaw. The tone of her voice, and the sly look in her eyes was just foreign; weird. For the past hour he’d been crushed by the sight of Korra, the girl wanted,, kissing his brother, whom he was linked to forever, and now a girl that he'd unknowingly “had”, was blatantly flirting with him. Sweet Serendipity had occurred in such a short period of time.
