Description
Bolin was startled awake at the sudden impact on his mattress and the soft sound of muffled sobbing. Rapidly regaining his senses, he looked down and saw only a tangled mess of dark brown hair and tears gleaming on the cheek of a face that was firmly buried in his chest.

"Korra?" He whispered, instinctively wrapping his arms around her shoulders. She shook slightly in his grip. He started to ask what was wrong, but after a split second of thought, he knew.

"The nightmares again?"

She nodded slowly. "Every night it's the same," she said through sobs. "Every night it's him. He takes my bending... And then I'm helpless..."

He held her tighter. "Me too."

"I'm sorry, Bolin, you're just the only one who--"

"Shhh, no, it's okay. You can stay here as long as you need to. I'm here."

The truth was, he needed her just the same.
