After finishing their meal the young couple went to a nearby soda bar to share a few drinks, which then turned into a burping contest much to the chagrin of the other patrons, but they didn't care about what others thought, they were having fun and that was all that matters. They then went to Harmony Tower to really take the sights of the city, or to be more accurate Korra was taking in the sights while Bolin was mostly watching her. It made him so happy that he accomplished what he set out to do with this sudden date, even more happy then his victory in the ring earlier. Seeing Korra in such high spirits and having a good time was more rewarding then having a crowd of a million fans cheering his name.
Not long after they went to a night club still filled with people dancing to some smooth tunes. This was when Korra started to feel a little unsure again because she never really danced before and with so many people there she didn't want to make a fool of herself.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Bolin asked noticing her not have fun.
"Well..I know it's silly but..I've never really danced before. To be honest before I came to Republic City I never really did much else but train." she explained. "So this whole night has been quite the experience for me."
"Good or bad?"
"Good, great even! This is night has been the most fun I've had in a long time." she said sincerely as she rubbed her arm shyly "I just don't want to ruin it with my lack of dancing skills."
"That's what you're worried about?" he asked with relief now knowing Korra was still having fun. She was just a little shy when it came to dancing apparently, surprising given her usually confident attitude but it was nothing he couldn't fix. "Korra, look at most of the people here, do they look like expert dancers to you?" he asked gesturing to the crowd.
She did as he said and sure enough most of the people in the club like amateurs, not good but not bad either. Although one guy looked like he was having a stroke rather then dancing.
"No?" she answered unsure where he was going with this.
"Do they look like they care if they're expert dancers?"
She looked looked back at the crowd and noticed that just about everyone here was having a blast in spite of their lack luster skills.
"No." she said with a little more of her usual confidence.
"And I don't care if you two left feet or not, I just want you to forget all about your troubles and have fun." he said sincerely before a devious smile appeared on his face "Or maybe the big, bad Avatar is scared of a little dancing?"
Oh it is on.
"Bolin, shut up and dance with me." she commanded as she dragged him to the dance floor.
"Yes ma'am!" he said happy to have the old Korra back.
At first Korra was a very awkward dancer, she stepped on a few toes and bumped into some people, but with Bolin's encouragement she was able to find her rhythm and started to move in perfect sync with her partner. Their dancing wasn't anything fancy at first but as the night went on they seemed to be subconsciously teaching each other as with each new song that played they seamlessly change from an awkward but cute slow dance, to an upbeat tap dance, to graceful waltz, and finally to a passionate and intimate tango. Needless to say they were the most watched couple of the club.
But sadly all good things must come to an end sooner or later as the clock showed it was well pasted midnight and they both had long days ahead of them. So Bolin escorted Korra to the bay where she would swim back to Air Temple Island.
"You didn't have to do this Bo." she said with a tired but content voice.
"Oh but I do. As I said I'm an old fashioned guy so I must escort my fair lady home." he said with a legitimately suave voice.
She raised an amused eyebrow at him "'Your' fair lady?"
He back peddled realizing what he just said "Um I-I mean that is not to say I own you or anything! But you are a fair lady, more then fair in fact! You're gorgeous and fun and-" His tangent was cut short by Korra giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I like the sound of that." she said with a cheeky wink before she jumped into the bay and swam with the grace and speed of a mermaid back home.
Bolin was left stunned as he touch the spot where Korra kiss. Then a huge, goofy grin spread across his face as hearts floated around his head "What a woman." he sigh dreamily as he headed back home.
