So... off of a prompt from tumblr... and unfortunately I really have ideas for this... so it's going to be long and chapterfull... and hopefully I don't forget to keep writing it... Oh well... Enjoy!

"So… What're we going to do today?" Korra alludes, wrapping herself around Mako as he attempts to pack up his bag after practice. Her smile is devious but Mako misses it as he is focused on his task at hand. He doesn't answer or look at her until his bag is perfect and he is ready to leave.

"I actually have plans tonight… I'm sorry." He says pausing only for a minute before he throws his bag over his shoulder and heads out of the newly reconstructed practice gym and heads to where the new stairs lead up to his once again existing apartment.

"Wait. What?" Korra sprints to catch him and slides in front of him to block his way.

"You have plans? Are you going to tell me what they are?" She straightens out of her crouched stance. "Or am I going to have to get all 'jealous girlfriend' on you?" she adds a wink.

Mako rolls his eyes and sighs, "No, you don't, and yes I do. Bolin is bringing his new girlfriend over for dinner and asked if I would meet her." He walks around Korra and begins to ascend the staircase.

What? Korra thinks to herself. She quickly shakes herself from her dumbfounded paralysis and once again runs to meet Mako.

"Bolin has a girlfriend?"

"Yeah," Mako states plainly, "And I need to get ready, so we can have this conversation later." He kisses Korra on the cheek and proceeds to unlock the apartment door.

"Why can't I join you?" Korra finds herself asking. And this causes Mako's attention, for once, to dart to her.

"Why would you want to? It's just Bolin and his girlfriend. You see Bolin practically every day."

"I know, but this way it won't be as awkward. I mean…" Korra doesn't know what she's saying but her brain finds an excuse, "This way it'll be a double date… so his friend won't feel awkward… because it won't be like 'introducing her to the family' it'll be like 'hanging out with some friends."

"His girlfriend."

"What?" Korra asks.

"You said his friend. She's his girlfriend. They're steady. Like you and I are." Mako corrects, but he enters his apartment and allows Korra to follow.

"Oh, slip of the tongue, I didn't realize I'd said that." Why did I say that? Korra sits on the couch as Mako goes to put away his back and its contents. Why am I so interested in meeting Bolin's girlfriend… since when does he have a girlfriend? Korra sighs and leans back into the couch. She picks at a piece of her hair as she waits for Mako to return, but she gets impatient, as always. "Mako!" she calls and she walks up the stairs to the brothers' bedroom.

"What?" Mako calls loudly, but it's unnecessary as Korra opens the door and lets herself in. Mako jumps back and shoves a pillow in front of him. "Korra!" he blushes, "Korra I'm changing here!"

She smirks, "I can see that," and she sits on his bed.

Mako glares at her for a few seconds. "I don't suppose I can convince you to leave."

"Nope."

Mako sighs. He uses his free hand and forcibly pushes Korra until she moves herself as he wants to face in the opposite direction as him, and then he continues changing.

"So…" Korra starts.

"So?" Mako asks as he rummages through his closet to find a clean pair of trousers.

"How long have Bolin and this girl been dating?"

"A few weeks."

"A few weeks!" Korra almost turns around but is able to stop herself.

"Yeah, what of it?" Mako asks, finally finding clean pants and sitting on the bed behind her to pull them on.

"It's just…" what of it? I don't know… it's just…Bolin and I… "I thought Bolin was my friend…"

"You are friends."

"But if we were friends, he would have told me!" Korra burst up and begins to turn around but Mako catches her and hugs her from behind.

"You are friends." Mako reassures her. He gives her a peck on the cheek before releasing her. "He didn't tell me until a couple weeks in; he didn't want to make something if it turned out to be nothing."

Korra sighs, sitting back on the bed. Okay, that makes sense. After all, we didn't tell him right away either, and we all are best friends… and they're brothers… She spies Mako's scarf on the floor at her feet. He is back rummaging in his closet so she picks it up and starts fiddling with it. It really shouldn't bother me this much that he has a girlfriend. I'm happy for him. He deserves to be happy. He's a good guy, he's sweet, and caring, and attractive… woah… where did that come from. Korra stands out of shock.

It doesn't go unnoticed by Mako.

"Korra, are you alright?" He asks, halting his rummaging just for a moment, he hugs her once again from behind.

"Yeah," she states and looks down at the scarf in her hand. A wicked grin befalls her, as she holds the scarf taught. "Yeah, I'm more than alright."

"Okay that's goo…" Mako is cut off when he starts to pull away and is instead trapped to her by his scarf. In a swift movement that he missed she had jerked her hands and the scarf behind both of their heads. "Korra… what're you doing?"

"Nothing," she lies, moving her one arm so that his head is still trapped by the scarf, but now both her arms are on one of her shoulders, holding him to that side of her. She pulls him in.

He's barely an inch away from her lips, "Korra," he groans, but not all in disapproval, "I need to get ready… they'll be here soon…"

"So?" Korra breathes across his lips.

"Korra…" Mako drops his chin to her shoulder, "I'm barely half dressed…"

She smiles against his cheek. "I know."

He kisses her, and she pulls him in deeper with the scarf. Mako lets his hands drop to her waist, letting his thumbs pull up the hem of her shirt.

She turns to face him as he kneels on the bed. His hair is soft and full as she runs one hand through it and wraps the other around his neck. He wraps his arm around her waist as he lifts her slightly, and uses the other hand to support her head as he lowers her onto the bed and then himself on top of her. He breaks their kiss for but a moment and holds himself above her.

"Korra… you really are the biggest and best distraction," his amber eyes are laughing and he smiles against her lips before she leans up and nips at them, and they're both lost in each other yet again.
