Hello! I am terribly sorry my dear readers...If there's even a reader left... ;.;
I was just busy and I don't think I'll continue writing my Shadouge fanfiction. Maybe I will, maybe not.
Anyways, today I have a Legend of Korra fanfiction! :) I know this fandom is old, but I am still waiting for season 3 (If there will ever be a season 3, which I hope will.)
Hope you've read the summary.
Happy reading everyone! :D
I was sitting in the Air Temple Island, as usual, with Tenzin reading me lectures about concentrating on my spirits and blah, blah, blah.
I put a hand under my chin and crossed my legs, bored. I have always been curious: How this man can talk so much? And yet, keep his calmness? I guess it's something that I'll never be able to understand. Fair enough.
He always said that I need to connect with Spirits. I think, I need to do action things aka – air bending first. But he kept telling me opposite every time I couldn't concentrate on Spirital part. And by every time I mean always.
"Alright, sorry Master Tenzin, I promise I'll be working harder." I interrupted him.
He sighed.
"You keep promising for a long time, Korra."
Was he counting or something?
"But I promise, that this time it is true." I defended myself, looking at him.
"Give an Avatar a break." I added with irony.
The air bender seemed to brighten up a little bit. Probably was in a good mood.
"Fine." Was his short reply.
"Thank you." I bowed after standing up.
He bowed as well.
Then I was about to head to my room in the temple, but heard kids' voices:
"Mako!"
There were an 'ugh' and a thud heard in the distance.
I turned my head to the direction of the voices and smiled a little.
Look who came to visit.
"Hey, Ikki, Jinora, stand up. We need him alive." I crossed my arms and smirked at the handsome fire bender, who was laying on the grass.
They did as I said and stood up.
Mako brushed dust of his clothes and scarf, then stood up as well.
"Oh hey Korra." He said casually, like nothing happened: too much pride. That was one of the things that were amazing in him.
"Hello Mako. What brought City-Boy here, hm?" I asked, having a hand on my hip.
Mako shrugged.
"Just wanted to check how you are doing...?" He half asked, turning his head away.
I was taken aback a little by his reply: Since when he is worried about my condition? But it's not that I didn't want to hear him say that, but still...
I could feel my cheeks start to burn. Damn.
"Besides I didn't come here alone," He quickly added, before I could reply.
Of course, what was I thinking! He probably came here with Asami – his girlfriend.
"Bolin is also here with me." Mako finished.
Oh... Sure, who was talking about Asami? Totally wasn't me. Nope.
And then Bolin and Pabu walked up to us.
"Hey Korra!" Bolin smiled at me and waved.
"Hi." I said, smiling as well.
"Yay, Bolin is here too!" Ikki jumped in delight.
"Yep, and I taught Pabu some new tricks! Let's go, I'll show you!" Mako's brother smiled wider and ran to the house, followed by Tenzin and Pema's kids.
Me and Mako were now alone, standing in awkward silence.
"So...How's Asami?" I managed to ask, just to start a conversation.
"Oh, she's well." He replied.
Was it me, or he sounding somewhat annoyed? Probably my imagination.
"Good." I awkwardly added.
I noticed that he was looking at the sky, so I looked up as well.
Dark gray clouds were gathering along with a cold, freezing wind. Strange.
"I should probably go home." The fire bender said.
I didn't know what to say. But to be honest, I wanted him to stay for a little more. He seemed sad, and I terribly missed him...I mean...Uh...Ikki, missed him. Yep. Not me. Silly me. He has a girlfriend and yeah. That makes sense. Besides, I don't even like him that way. I need to think less about stuff like that...
"Korra, Mako quick! Go in the house!" We both heard Tenzin's command from a distance, which was almost silent because of the howling cold wind.
"Okay!" I shouted back and grabbed Mako's hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked me, narrowing his eyebrows.
"Didn't you hear what Tenzin said? C'mon!" I replied and started running fast.
I saw him smiling a bit from the corner of my eye.
In a while we ran inside the house, as Pema quickly closed the door.
"Hello Mako." She greeted him, smiling warmly.
"Hello Pema." He replied, somewhat smiling too.
"Ikki, Jinora close all the windows. Meelo, stop eating my head, for Spirits' sake. And I am serious." Tenzin looked up, as his son stopped chewing his head and ran after Pabu. Poor animal, I must say. With Meelo chasing him down like that.
"Something's wrong, Tenzin?" I asked him, a little worried. He was never this serious about the weather.
"This weather is really dangerous and tricky. I want to make sure that everyone is safe." My air bending teacher answered my question.
"Can't we just stop the weather?" I asked dumbly. I am the Avatar, for crying out loud! I can beat up bad guys, and I can surely stop the wind and raining. Fine, maybe I can't stop the wind yet, but I can water bend. It's still better than nothing, right?
"No. It can be dangerous." He sternly said.
"Alright, alright." I replied and went to Mako and Bolin. If Tenzin said so, let it be then. Don't want to annoy him.
"Looks like you have to stay here until the weather is okay." Pema said looking at the brothers as she poured hot tea in the cups.
My eyes sparkled. It was like she read my mind! How I loved that kindness in Pema!
"Thank you very much, but I don't think it's necessary." Mako said, before Bolin could open his mouth, that was stuffed with food.
"But Mako, it's dangerous." Jinora said, cocking a brow at him suspiciously.
"Yes, besides it's not a problem, right Tenzin, Pema?" I joined the conversation.
"It is not a problem, boys. We need to keep you safe. Amon can attack at any moment now. Especially he can use that terrible weather as our distraction." He nodded.
"Thank you again." Mako said, looking at both as he sipped some tea from the cup.
"Anytime." Pema smiled again.
"And I've planned everything out." Jinora raised her hand.
Everybody looked at her, slightly confused.
"I'll free my room, so Bolin and Mako can stay there, and I can share a room with Korra." She smiled at her own brightness.
"Aw, that's so sweet of you!" Bolin smiled, hugging Jinora.
"My pleasure." She smiled widely.
"Alright, let's do this then." I said, as she nodded and we walked to her room to carry some things out of there into my room.
~.~.~.~.~
After a couple hours, we were getting ready for sleep. I decided to visit Mako and Bo. Just to check how are they and what are they doing. That's what friends do and don't give me that look.
I knocked at the door and heard the elder brother's voice.
"Come in."
Hesitating a little bit, I opened the door and walked in.
Mako was sitting on his bed, drying his hair with a towel: he probably had a shower.
He also was wearing a white shirt and shorts.
I sat near him.
"How are you?" I smiled a little at him, looking in his amber eyes.
"Good. And you?" He smiled back. His smile was so charming, not going to lie. And don't look at me like that!
"I am fine too." I replied, not taking my eyes of him.
"Thanks to you too. For let me staying." He rubbed the back of his head. Did I just see a blush on his cheeks..?
"Hey no problem. Besides, of course you would stay here." I looked at the window. It was raining even harder than in the afternoon.
He nodded and we just sat there, he started drying his hair again.
"Here, let me help you." I said. That's where my water bending became in handy in such common things like this.
I dried his hair as gentle as possible, bending the water out of his smooth jet hair.
"Thanks." He muttered, but I was able to hear it.
I blushed a little.
"Don't mention it." Then my eyes shifted to the clock. It was pretty late.
"Alright, I guess I'll go to bed now." I said, standing up.
"Wait, Korra." I felt him grabbing my hand.
"Yes?" I turned his head to him. Oh how close he was to me...
He looked in my blue eyes for a little, as I also studied his amber ones.
"Goodnight." He whispered, making a chill run down my spine.
"Goodnight." I said to him and walked to my room. No, ran to my room, my heart pounding fast.
What was wrong with me..?
I tiptoed to my room and slowly opened the door: not to wake Jinora up.
"Korra." She whispered, as I layed on my bed.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" I whispered back.
"Was waiting for you." She replied.
"Why?" I asked, yawning quietly.
"I just have a question to ask." I could see her smirking a little.
"Sure." I said, facing her. Our beds weren't far away, so we could see each other.
"Do you like Mako?"
My irises shrank to tiny dots. Spirits, why me?!
"Um..." Escaped my mouth. Seriously, why did she ask that? I was utterly confused and totally embarrassed. I hate being confused and embarrassed.
"Why do you ask that so...suddenly?" I asked straight up, trying my best not to stutter.
"Because I know that you were in Mako's room until you came here. And the fact that you are red as a chili pepper proves my point as well." She replied, smirking deviously, her eyes looking right in my soul.
Oh how I wanted to earth bend her in the air, but I couldn't. I touched my cheek: it was burning like fire.
"Go to sleep." I muttered and turned to the other side of my bed, so my back was facing her. I wasn't expecting that she was so smart for her years.
But hey, it doesn't mean I like Mako, okay?
