Hello all. So first let it be said that I love Korra, and I want to love series finale. I am such a huge supporter of Gay rights, however I feel in my heart that Korra belongs with Mako. I also want to stay true (somewhat) to the creators vision that Korra and Asami fell in love. Korra was in love with Mako and left him, she can do the same with Asami, right? well I guess you will have to read to find out what my brain has concocted in response to the series finale.

By the way, I own none of these characters. Wished I did, but I don't.

Korra could feel Mako's eyes on her; his golden gaze felt like it was searing her skin from across the table. She tried her best to ignore his intensity and focus on the matter at hand. She and Mako were in conference with several world leaders regarding the voting process for the earth Kingdom, or soon to be earth republic. Voting for the new president would take place in only a few short weeks. After the Kuvira debacle the world wanted to make sure the new president was elected without incident. Mako seemed nervous and agitated, which was never a good combo for a fire bender. Korra could not figure what had gotten into him.

It was late when the meeting finally adjourned for the day. Korra shoved her paperwork and assignment details into her satchel as her stomach rumbled audibly. The only thing she was thinking of was getting home and eating when Mako's tall stature hovered over her and he asked if she had a minute.

"Sure Mako, whats up?" He waited to speak until the last few people emptied out of the room.

"I.." he bit the inside of his lip, not sure how to begin. He had practiced this over and over in his head all day long, but his mind was coming up blank.

"I've missed you."

"Oooo Kay" replied Korra in a drawn out fashion. "I am confused. We have actually been spending alot of time together trying to prepare the the earth Kingdom from Monarchy to republic."

Mako Shook his head in frustration. "Yeah, for work, but not as...friends. When you came back from your sabbatical and we fought together against Kuvera I thought we reconnected.

But then right after Varrick and Zhu li's wedding you run off for a week, without telling anyone of your whereabouts. We were worried sick about you. I thought maybe I lost you again, after three years. Then to find out you and Assami ran off like giggling shcool girls into the spirit world. It's too much."

"Keep Asami out of this" said Korra dangerously, "Her father had just died, she needed me."

"And what about me? I needed you too Korra. I was willing to die for you. When I set off the spirit weapon chamber, I didn't do it for republic city, or even to stop Kuvera. I did it for you." Mako's voice had raised from a calm tone to a fevered pitch. Korra's face was a mixture of guilt and sadness, but she said nothing.

"Korra, I love you." said Mako in a desperate whisper.

"Mako…" Korra felt like her heart was breaking "I am seeing someone." when she said it, she looked away. She couldn't take the painful intensity of his amber eyes.

"Who is he? Do I know him?" Mako's voice was even.

Korra nodded her head. She rubbed her arm in uncomfortable silence, she wouldn't tell him who. It would destroy him. To her surprise he grabbed her shoulders roughly. The motion made her look in his face once again. He kissed her, his lips crashing into hers. Without any thought she kissed him back. Mako pressed his palm into the small of her back forcing her hips into his. His tongue slid deftly into her mouth, and her tongue danced along with his in reply. They kissed for what could have been mere seconds or minutes. Korra's mind felt hazy. She hated that Mako could still make her feel like this after all these years. In an instant Korra realized what she was doing and tried to pull away. Mako let her mouth go, but he held fast onto her body.

"Mako, I can't do this" she whined

"Tell me honestly that you don't have feelings for me and I will let you go forever. I will never bother you again."

"Mako I love the person I am dating. I can't" She struggled slightly against his hold.

"Then say it." he said with a slight snarl "tell me you don't love me. SAY IT NOW!"

This time she used her avatar strength to push him away. Korra grabbed her satchel from the table and ran from the room without looking back. Mako watched her go and then slumped into one of the chairs. With elbows on the table he propped his head in his hands by the temples. This is not how he imagined there conversation to go.
