Love Me
His attraction to her had been almost immediate, both being on rival pro-bending teams. The witty quips tossed back and forth were playful and lighthearted, making Bolin realize the mistake his heart was ultimately deciding on its own.
Bolin swallowed harshly, palms slick with sweat as the highest point of his cheekbones flushed a radiant scarlet tint. Being in such proximity to Caixia made his pulse accelerate underneath the milky pale skin, his breath falling uneven when a smile was directed at him. Oh God, she was walking towards him, a bounce in her step.

Mako had warned him against fraternizing with the enemy, but there was a thrill to it that excited the earth bender. His palm involuntarily squeezes the stems of the bouquet hidden behind his broad back.
"Bolin," Caixia breathed out, a smile gracing her glossed lips as she tucked her skirt underneath her and sat beside him, inches apart. "I'm happy you came. I was just thinking about you." She was thinking of him? As if his heart couldn't race any faster, it speeds to a sweltering high note and burns in his veins.
"Y-Yeah," He managed to stutter out, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly before jutting the bouquet into her arms. "I got you these! I wasn't sure which flower was your favorite so I got a bunch of them--" A lithe digit landed on the curve of his lips as chartreuse hues fluttered.
"They're perfect," Dropping her finger, she opted to press her own lips against his own in a chaste peck. "Thank you, Bolin." Chartreuse hues studied the flowers, smile lingering on her lips as her mind recalled the meanings of each flower thanks to a hobby of hers.
Bleeding Hearts; symbolizing passion and romance. Bluebells; kindness and grateful for friendship and love. And lastly, Red Roses which represent love and desire, forcing a scarlet flush to tickle her cheekbones and her heart to skip a beat. He loved her, much like she loved him.
Licking her lips, Caixia met his gaze which had fallen to her lips, clearly dazed as she learned in to close the distance between their lips as her smooth palm cupped her cheek to silence the surprise that tumbled from his mouth.
