Cliche can be good, as well as bad but teenagers are gonna be cliche, sadly. I mean you watch a teen movie and you already know what's gonna happen but you can still enjoy the ride at least. I'm done with Asami though so I hope it works out for ya Mako! XD 

I'm so close to climbing in bed and going to sleep~

Sadly Bolin wasn't on Korra's radar and if he ever was, it was so brief and right when Mako came up to her and the kiss happened...it just wasn't fair to poor Bolin. I think Bolin would be fine with not being romantic with her, as long as it was made clear it wouldn't happen. But since it will (they don't know it yet) it's complicated. Bolin wants to move on, he doesn't want to dwell on how bad it felt to see his brother lip locked with his crush (when his brother was dating Asami no less). He wants to have good times with Korra again (while protecting his broken lil heart). It's a tight line to walk.
