( he lets her adjust their positions without protest, could hardly ever object to being closer to her. he knows she's being gentle with him as if he's something fragile, and there's that street-kid part of him that rankles at it. but it's just... love, from korra, and he does his best to accept it from her instead of making everything worse the way he always does.

he lets her take some of his weight, fingers finding purchase in her shirt and against her skin wherever his hands have fallen to. )

That idiot. He didn't even say goodbye.

( it's a tired attempt at anger, obviously manufactured rather than felt. his voice is muffled against her shoulder, barely audible. )

( there's a hand at the back of his neck, and one caught in the ink of his black hair, soothingly rubbing him up and down in slow, broad strokes. her breath catches on him, a half, humorless laugh. )

You know, he probably would've cried too much to get out a goodbye.

( it's an attempt at being reassuring, but ... it doesn't really stick. korra doesn't want to think about him crying, she just. wants him to be here. more for mako's benefit than her own. )

Bolin and goodbyes doesn't really add up, though. He's always there when you need him.
