Sorry I haven't written in such a long time! Started writing this story last year with KauiLani, we just never finished it... UNTIL I found it again in my documents and started it up again. Our writing muses ran out of juice, so we decided to take a break from collabs, and that break turned into a few weeks... then a few months... then that eventually turned into a year.
DID YOU GUYS WATCH THE FINALE? Ohemgizzle. Tarrlok and Noatok :c AND MAKORRA IS CANON NOW. OH MY POOR BOLIN, LET ME LOVE YOU. IROH AND ASAMI NEED TO BE. AND TAHNO. You need to be apart of Team Avatar...
Haha I know, I know. The finale was done with over a month ago... I just wanted to express my feels for the show and its characters still :3 Now time for the long wait for season 2! In the mean time, I have Young Justice, GLTAS, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars to watch on every Saturday morning. (And omygoodness at the most recent episodes. So many feels ; _ ;) That will suffice until the return of LOK. Oh, and the fanfics. Definitely the fanfics.
This story will hopefully make up for the previous one we wrote, Private Lessons, where Makorra ended up being endgame. In this one, Tahno and Korra 5ever, lol. Well here's the first chapter, please feel free to review afterwards. Thanks! :)
All characters belong to the creators of LOK~
"Hey, Uhvatar." Tahno said with a sly smile, as he leaned against the frame of the entryway to the gym. He ran a hand through his glossy hair as he looked at a startled Korra.
"Tahno?" She said with surprise as she looked over her shoulder. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she turned to him and crossed her arms over her chest. "Aren't you going to train for your next match? I'm sure it'll be a tough one." She smiled smugly, clearly knowing that his next match was against her.
Tahno chuckled and walked up to her. "What am I doing here? You sound so surprised to see me. Aw, don't tell me that little miss Uhvatar has been missing the brilliant, magnificent, spectacular, and not to mention, gorgeou-"
"Ugh," Korra groaned, holding her hand up with a bored expression. "Not in a million years, Pretty Boy. Save the speech for your fangirls. Now if you'll excuse me, you're cutting in on my practice time." She complained and shoved him away. She began to walk away, but what Tahno says next stops her.
"Oh, just you wait Uhvatar. Soon enough, I'll get you to start liking me." His eyes glance over to Mako, who was staring at the two the whole time. Tahno closed the distance between him and Korra and whispered in her ear. "Looks like your boyfriend is getting jealous over there." Korra quickly took a step back, away from Tahno.
Korra looked over her shoulder, and then turned back to Tahno as she rolled her eyes. "It's not like that. And he's only irritated because you're here during our practice time, Pretty Boy." She said with a sigh.
Tahno smiled. "Oh, Uhvatar. Don't tell me that you're still in love with Mr. Hot Shot over there."
Korra cringed. "It doesn't concern you." Korra hissed, and then turned to walk away.
"I could help you, you know."
With that one statement, Korra froze in her steps. He smirked. "Are you interested?" Korra glanced back at him with a frown. "What're you playing at, Tahno?" she asked him cautiously.
"Why, to help you get your man back of course. What else?" Tahno smirked. "So…you interested, Uhvatar?" Korra didn't reply, she only remained silent as she looked at Tahno. Taking that as a yes, Tahno continued. "Alright, I'll help you on one condition." He said as he held up his index finger.
"And what might that be?" Korra asked with a raised brow as she turned her body toward him.
Tahno smiled and walked casually up to her, leaning down so he and Korra were face to face. "Do not fall in love with me." He said in a serious tone.
Korra was unsure about this. Unsure about the idea, yes, but mostly unsure about Tahno. The idea of being with Mako she liked. She liked the idea even more when she remembered Pema's words about doing something instead of seeing your true love spending his life with the wrong woman. Though, when she tried doing something, it didn't work out exactly as she thought it would have. Directly confessing to him didn't work out, and maybe words just wasn't enough. If a confession didn't work, then maybe taking the initiative to get him back would work. But, the thing is, the idea came from Tahno, who is, not to mention the Fire Ferrets' rival's captain. There were so many reasons to not trust him. Tahno was snotty, untrustworthy, arrogant, conceited, and…well, Korra just didn't like him. She didn't even consider what she was getting herself into, and what may come by doing this, but as skeptical as she was, Korra could feel the words that would confirm her agreement creeping slowly up her throat. Korra stared at him for a few seconds, and then tried to stifle a laugh and snorted. "Who would?"
"That's the spirit!" Tahno chuckled and put an arm around her shoulders. When she started to protest, Tahno shushed her. "This is part of the plan. It's step number one. Make him jealous." He smiled slyly. He looked up to see Mako staring bullets at him.
Korra blushed. "I don't think so... what if he takes it the wrong way?"
"Darling," Tahno said, as he smiled at Korra. "Why, that's the point." He then leaned down and kissed her cheek. Korra cringed in disgust. "Yeesh. At least make it look real. Man, you may be the Uhvatar, but can you at least try to act like you are in love with me?"
Korra glared at him. "I thought you said not to." She retorted. Tahno looked at her with a look that said 'Are you freaking kidding me?' Korra groaned. "Fine."
She glanced at Mako then looked back up at Tahno, and hesitantly moved closer to his face before shying back again and pushing him away, already regretting her choice to do this in the first place. "I can't do this!" Korra whispered to Tahno.
Tahno grabbed Korra by her waist and pulled her into a hug. "If you don't do this, you won't get Hot Shot over there. You wouldn't want to see him swooning over the wrong girl now, would you?"
Korra whispered into his ear with contempt. "You are despicable."
Tahno smiled wickedly, and pulled away from their embrace, placing his hands on her shoulders. "Just come and lay it on me babe." He leaned down slightly and leered over at Mako, making sure he saw everything. "What are you waiting for? Go for it." he whispered irritably to Korra.
Korra glared up at him and grabbed him by his collar, pulling him down to her face. "Don't call me babe." she said annoyed, before shutting her eyes and crushing her lips against his.
Tahno leaned in to it and his hands slithered down her back and wrapped around her hips. Korra felt like she could puke, but she gathered up all of her courage to continue. Just put up with this for now Korra... do you want to be with Mako or not? She thought to herself as if it were her new mantra.
Tahno glanced over at Mako and his eyes glinted with mischief. He took one of his hands and put it up to Korra's chin, tilting her head up and opening her mouth slightly to let his tongue enter. Korra's eyes flew open at the sudden intrusion of her mouth. She glared up at Tahno and gave him the 'What the hell are you doing?' look. Korra winced when Tahno bit her lip, and forced her to gasp. Tahno quickly took the back of her head and brought her lips to his lips once more. Korra shivered as Tahno's tongue slithered over her lips and into her mouth.
Mako watched from a distance wide eyed and mouth gaping. Since... WHEN?!
Asami looked at him quizzically. "Mako? What's wrong?" She asked as she followed his gaze. "Oh my..." She chuckled. "Well if you look at that, isn't that something. Wonder when that happened." Asami said, as she put her hand up to her mouth in awe.
"You just read my mind." Mako said scowling, as he continued to look at the pair.
Asami sighed and pulled on Mako's arm. "C'mon, let's go. We'll give them a minute and then you two can go to practice alright?"
Mako glared at Tahno and his hands turned into fists. "Sweetie?" Asami interrupted his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, right... right." Mako pulled himself together and reluctantly walked away. He glanced back at Korra as Asami tugged him along.
Tahno stopped abruptly after Mako had left, and left Korra gasping for air. "Jeez!" Korra complained. "You could've at least let me breathe!" She exclaimed. Tahno turned his attention to Korra.
"Not bad, Uhvatar." he smirked as he wiped the corner of his mouth. "Care for another round?" He smiled wickedly as he licked his lips.
Korra pushed him away and wiped her mouth furiously. "What was that?" she glowered at him.
"What was what?" Tahno asked her innocently, curious to see what she meant.
"Don't play coy. That. What was that?" Korra said, pointing to her mouth.
"Uh, a kiss? What else Uhva—Oh! You mean the tongue! Ahaha, you've never had a kiss like that before have you?" Tahno smirked.
Korra frowned, continuing to wipe her mouth. "Don't do something like that ever again..." she said flustered.
Tahno smiled at the sight of seeing Korra's flustered face, and then sighed as he put both hands upon his hips. "My, my," He said as he shook his head. "Mr. Hot Shot sure has some willpower, eh?" He said to himself.
Korra looked at him with a look that said 'What the hell?' "You have got to be kidding me. What else was he supposed to do? He was with his girlfriend. I am pretty sure he wouldn't act out his so called jealousy in front of her!" She said with frustration. "Besides, I don't even think he likes me."
Tahno rolled his eyes. "Are you kidding me right now? He's clearly into you," He said. "Only the spirits knows why." He muttered with an exasperated tone and Korra glared at him. "He's just like an onion."
Korra stared at him with a confused look. "An... onion?"
Tahno crossed his arms and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Seriously woman?! How can you be so dense and unknowing in love? Onion as in having layers. It's slow to peel off. It's slow for us to get through to Mako. You know, to make him jealous?" He explained, but when he saw the still confused look on Korra's face, he sighed. "Haven't you ever read those novels?"
Korra looked at him weirdly. "Aaaand I'm assuming that... you do?" She tried to stifle a laugh.
"Anything to impress the ladies." He shrugged with a smile.
"Of course you would. Look Pretty Boy, I gotta get to practice. Either you leave or I'll make you." Korra said with an icy tone.
"Ouch." He said with a mocking cringe. "You know, that is counted as domestic abuse."
Korra groaned with irritation and glared at him. "Shut your damn annoying mouth and leave."
Tahno waved his hand. "Nah-uh. What's the magic words?"
Korra glared at him. "Please leave." She said. Tahno smirked. "Nope."
Korra placed a hand on her hip and gave an exasperated sigh. "What, then?"
"It's three words." He hinted, and walked over to her.
Korra looked at him irritably and rolled her eyes as he walked to her, slowly becoming accustomed to Tahno leaning down to whisper in her ear.
"I. Love. You." Tahno smirked.
Korra's eyes widened, startled by his uncomfortably warm breath in her ear as he uttered each word. Tahno noticed and he smiled, pleased with her reaction. On the other hand, Korra had an annoyed and disapproving look on her face. She took a step back and looked at Tahno. "I'll give you four instead," she smiled, "No. Way. In. HELL." She said, and turned around to join her team for practice.
"Oh, boo." Tahno complained, as he watched her leave. When she rejoined the Fire Ferrets, Tahno grinned and pivoted on his heel, turning to the entrance of the gym.
"Heh. Just you wait, Uhvatar. Just you wait."
