Training in the gym had become a regular thing for Mako, using his power to get in the best shape he could for the fire ferrets. Team Captain, the position meant that the fire bender had to do his best and bring the team together. Of course, there was no doubt at all in his mind that Korra and Bolin were off somewhere doing god knows what. His brothers crush on the dark skinned Avatar were very obvious and the younger boy had told him exactly how he felt about the girl.
Perfect for each other, Mako didn't share the same views as his brother on this topic, which wasn't exactly too much of a change if he were to be truly honest. Of course his judgement may have been clouded by his growing feelings for the young Avatar. Hs life had taken a turn, a very complicated one at that, making the fire bender unsure of what exactly he should do about the situation he had been unwillingly put in.
Asami, she was clearly very beauty, anyone could see that the raven haired girl carried an elegant beauty that was so close to perfection she made many doubt themselves and fall all over her. She radiated confidence and was every guys dream girl, in a sense. But even knowing that the right choice for him would ideally be the daughter of the wealthiest man in Republic City, he still could not deny his feeling for the Avatar.
Korra was the total opposite of the fire bender, she should have irked him and ideally, he should despise the girl. But below the surface burnt a fiery passion that he could not deny existed. Every time he was around the young Avatar he wanted nothing more than to kiss her, taste her sweet lips. Which of course would not be the right thing to do, if he were to take into account his brothers feelings for the girl also.
Such a complicated situation that had arose in just a mere couple of weeks, ever since they had accepted her as a fellow fire ferret. Which of course, Mako had not seen as a great idea to begin with.
Fire flew through the air, making its way to one of the targets with obvious help from the fire bender but instantly his concentration was lost as his gaze met her crystal blue eyes. The kind that you couldn't fall in love with.
"Something wrong, Mako?" The girls harmonic voice came from opposite him and he shook his head in reply.
"Nothing." He replied simply, playing it cool as he always did.
"You missed you target." She pointed out, raising one brow before her eyes quickly darted to the intact target he had been previously aiming for.
"That's why it's called practice." His arms folded in front of his chest as the girl moved closer to him. His back came into contact with the wall behind him, leaning on it as his eyes followed the darker skinned Avatar. Of course she had come to practice too, which we rather surprising considering the fact his brother was no where in sight, an odd occurrence among them. "Where's Bolin?" He asked, raising a brow as he spoke.
"I don't know, wasn't with him." She shrugged. A smile tugged on the corners of Mako's lips at her answer. Something inside him glad that the girl was not with Bolin, after all that would mean that his brother was getting far more attention from the girl than he had been and that wasn't something he was used to, especially when it involved a girl he too had his eye on.
