Just Married

A/N: Hello! So this is my FIRST chapter story…I might be bad at updating but we'll see XD

"I can't get married!" Korra yelled after being told that's apparently what princesses do at the age 18.

"Korra, you have to-"Her father, Tonraq, tried to reason. When her family moved up to the North Pole after Tonraq became chief, there had been some unknown rules.

He knew there would be a time that he'd pass, and so Korra would have to take charge of the tribes after so. She needed a man of royalty, of course to keep the family blood pure. Yes, Korra and the "prince" would have to start a family for more rulers in the future, so after searching far and wide in the two tribes, Tonraq believed he found the perfect boy for his daughter.

"Look, you haven't even met him Korra, so how do you know you don't like him?" Tonraq asked calmly.

"That's my point! I don't even know him!" Korra argued back. There was NO way she was getting married to some guy she just met.

"You'll have three months to get to know each other, okay? The marriage is all in order." Tonraq informed.

Just as Korra was about to speak, yell, argue, or say something, a young man (of course her age), popped up behind her father. His hair was slick and brown, and obviously carefully groomed. He looked maybe an inch or two taller and…kind of wimpy. Before she could say hello (as if she wanted to), she watched him bow to her father.

Great. Her father picked a suck-up. He probably just kissed Tonraq's butt when he met him.

"Hello sir. It's an honor to marry your daughter, and the avatar." The boy said which made Korra fold her arms and roll her eyes. He had a light voice for a guy, but it sounded like he needed to cough to get something out of his throat.

"Oh it's my pleasure! Meet her why don't you?" Tonraq said to the young man, gesturing his hand towards Korra.

Korra could only watch as he approached her, and when he did, he bowed to her like she was a goddess or something. She hated being treated like this, different. She loved being treated as just as any ordinary human. That's probably one of the reasons why she fell in love with Mako. He didn't care for her title, or being a princess, but more of who she was.

"Princess Korra, it's an honor! My name is Lloyd." He took her hand and kissed it. Korra snatched her hand back quickly, feeling the awkwardness after that settle in.

"Ah see Korra," Her father began as he put an arm around Lloyd. "He's already more of a gentleman than Mako! He's much better than that boy!"

This set Korra off. Memories of them flooded through her mind. The sweet kisses, his laughs, oh she missed him. And here she was getting told to marry some boy that's apparently "better". Tears formed on the corner of her eyes.

"I'll always love you Korra."

Korra couldn't hold it anymore and tears rushed down her face. She didn't like crying. It made her look weak and helpless. Helping others was her job! Korra ran off into her now new room. She shut the door and slid down helplessly crying.

Senna walked up behind Tonraq, not happy the way his words were said.

"What?!" Tonraq asked, as if he didn't know what.

"Don't what me! She loved that boy! Men are so stupid sometimes…" Senna answered, obviously upset with him.

"Yeah, well, at least I won't see them making out half naked!" Tonraq yelled, shuddering at the images that flood through his mind.

Senna waved it off and left to go find her daughter. When she walked through the halls, she saw Mako there, and he was probably listening to Korra cry.

"Korra?" He knocked the door. "Are you alright?" He continued. Senna decided it'd be best if she let Mako handle this, she knew Korra loved him after all.

"Can I come in, please?" He was answered with a very upset Korra.

"H-ey…" Korra rubbed her arm shyly.

Mako placed a hand on her shoulder as he looked into her eyes. "Why are you crying?"

Korra took a step back from Mako, which caused his hand to drop from her shoulder. There was no way to deliver this news in a good way, because she was clearly upset too.

"I'm fine…" She said to him, but he crossed his arms which obviously meant he didn't believe her so she continued. "But, me being a princess…now, means I have to get married."

He didn't like that sentence. His Korra…was getting married?!

"Married?! To who?!" You could hear the upsetness in his voice.

Korra put her hands on her hips and motioned for him to come in as she closed the door and leaned against it.

"To some guy I just met! Ugh, he's such a suck-up to my dad, I already dislike him."

Mako nodded, listening to every word she had to say.

"So uhm…do you have time to get to know the guy?"

"Only three months…" Korra answered. She sat on her bed next to Mako as he wrapped an arm around her. Korra shyly accepted his comfort, and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"You'll get through it." Mako mumbled to her. His deep but soft and soothing voice made her fall asleep in his arms.
