"What if I'm not a bender?" Bolin whined miserably.
"Don't be silly, of course you're a bender," Mako groaned, not for the first time.
"Bu-but what if I'm noooot?"
Mako was about to shush his little brother again but Bolin had started to cry. The younger boy sniffled and pouted, tears streaming down his cheeks steadily.
"Come on, Bolin, stop that," Mako said, but all harshness was gone from his tone. He bent towards his brother and patted him on the head tenderly. "Your bending just hasn't woken up yet. Remember that lady who told us that happens sometimes?" Bolin nodded, a tiny sob escaping him. "See, you don't need to worry. Besides, a big and strong guy like you? Of course you're a bender."
"Do you think I'll be a firebender like you?" Bolin hiccuped, wiping his tears away.
Mako grinned at him and shook his head. "Nah, I betcha you'd be even cooler."


~~~~~~
Joining the bandwagon for BBVERSE!Avatar with a doodle of Ickle Bolin and Widdle Mako. Bolin is maybe 4 and Mako is 8 (not canon, I actually dunno how many years apart they are). The ficlet is from Bolin's memory, back when he had a belly and Mako was a toothpick.

What age do you think benders start bending? If we based it on the first episode of Korra, she was practically a toddler when she started...but she's the Avatar. For sure there are late bloomers, and Bolin could have been one. That, or he had been impatient that his older brother was already a firebender and he wasn't.

Expect more BBtar because of reasons.

1. I have a feeling Mako wouldn't be that supportive or grin really at the time, I imagine after a while who would never show his feelings. Still be nice but wouldn't grin.

2. Scarfy? Dad's Scarf?

3. This is awesome!
