Pieces remain
Authors note: Hey guys and welcome back to another fan fic, I decided to do another one about Makorra, hope you guys don't mind. Also it's currently Thursday, and school starts on Monday. Kind of freaking out.
Set two weeks after season 3
"Korra. Korra, hey are you alright?" His voice pries me from my thoughts
And all my thoughts have been for the past two weeks, have been about Zaheer. I can't stop the scene from replaying in my head, that's all my brain focuses on. My sanity has been seriously tested these past few weeks.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lie
"Are you sure, you kind of look like you're lying."
We're currently in my bedroom, on air Temple Island, Mako came to visit me like he usually does. And I appreciate his visits they almost make me feel normal. I don't understand how he can tell that I'm lying, he knows me too well. But is that really a bad thing?
I release a shaky sigh before replying "Really, I'm fine, don't worry."
11:27 pm, same day
I wake up screaming, from a nightmare that I just had. Mako comes running into my room. Earlier today I asked him if he would stay, just in case something like this happened.
"What's wrong?" He comes to sit on the edge of my bed
"It was another nightmare." I bite my lip to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes
"You don't have to act strong, Korra, everybody understands what happened to you will take some time to get over."
"That's not, that's not why, I…" I trail off
"That's not why you, what?" He asks sympathetically
"I don't put up this act for other people, I put up the act for me. I don't want to admit to myself that I'm a ghost of a person that I was before. And I know that Zaheer is locked up, but I still get worried. I scared, Mako."
He gathers me up in his arms "Korra, it's alright."
And I just can't hold my tears in anymore, so I wrap my arms around him, and cry. I let my tears flow freely, and it's somewhat liberating.
"I'm sorry." I mutter
"Don't apologize."
I have to take a deep breath before I say these words "I love you."
He hesitates before saying "I love you, too."
Outside of Korra's door
Little did Mako and Korra know, that Ikki, Jinora, and Meelo were standing outside of her door listening in.
"Jinora, Jinora! Does this mean that Mako and Korra are getting back together?!" Ikki bounces up and down
"I don't know, why don't you ask them yourself?"
"Ok!" Ikki reaches for the doorknob
Jinora grabs her hand right in time "I meant later."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh! You don't just walk in on somebodies relationship!" Meelo yells
"Meelo keep your voice down." Jinora puts a finger to her mouth
Back in Korra's room
"Did you hear that?" Korra asks
"Hear what?"
"Nothing." Korra snuggles closer to Mako before drifting off to sleep
And for the first time in a long time, she doesn't have any nightmares.
Authors ending note: So, I know that it was kind of short, but like I said I'm trying to get as many fan fics done as possible before school starts. Also did anyone else find it kind of weird that Rohan practically disappeared after season one of the legend of Korra? But anyways, if you like it don't forget to favorite and review, and if you didn't like it constructive criticism is welcome.
