Hi everyone! This is a short drabble and is my first Fanfic! Hope you like it! :) please REVIEW!
I DON'T OWN LEGEND OF KORRA! (if I did Makorra would've taken a different turn)
Mako seethed as he glared at Iroh. Who does he think he is?! He can't just go up to korra and ask her out!
But that's exactly what Iroh was doing. "Hey, Korra!" Said Iroh. "I wanted to ask you something..." "Well, spit it out already!" Korra grunted. She wasn't enjoying this party at all. First, she had to wear a dress. Second, Pema had won the fight to put make up on her. Three, everyone she passed kept staring at her! Korra was wearing a sea blue dress that flowed down to her feet. It was hitched on her hip a little and had the smallest bit of shimmer when she walked.
Iroh looked at her. surprised by her attitude and the smallest bit hurt. Korra saw the expression on his face and instantly felt guilty.
" Sorry Iroh, I'm just in a bad mood." Korra explained.
"That's alright." Said Iroh. "Soooo. What did you want to ask me?" Korra asked.
"Oh right! Well, I was wondering if You wanted to go to dinner sometime."
Korra just stood there completely shocked. What had brought this on? What should I say!? Korra frantically tried to gather her thoughts, but before she realized what she was saying, "Yeah sure! It would be fun!"
Iroh looked completely relived and said excitedly, "Great! So I'll see you tomorrow at 7:30?"
Korra still a bit in shock said "Um , yeah! See you.. Where are we going exactly?" "Oh Um.. How about the water tribe noodle restaurant on the courner?" (Sorry about that, I couldn't remember the name!)
"Ok!" Korra said, getting a bit excited. "See you then!" Iroh smiled, waved goodbye and walked away.
Mako's POV
"Um bro?" Bolin asked, looking a bit nervous.
"What?!" Snapped Mako. He was already in a bad mood and didn't want to hear Bolin's chatter.
" Your burning the napkins."
"what?" Mako said, not totally processing Bolin's words. He was still shooting mental daggers at Iroh's back.
"Mako, stop!" Asami,who was sitting next to him grabbed his wrists and pulled his hands away from the napkins. "What's up with you?" Asami asked annoyed and a bit concerned. Mako was a little surprised that Asami had grabbed his wrists, (and was still holding them) because they had had a mutual break-up a month ago.
Asami released Mako's wrists and stared at him. Waiting for an answer.
Mako glanced at Korra, who was starring after Iroh with a excited/confused look on her face. Asami followed his gaze and rolled her eyes. She hadn't seen Iroh ask Korra out and said to Mako, " Well, go talk to her!"
Mako sighed in frustration and Bolin told Asmai what had happened. Asami looked surprised and felt some sympathy to Mako, but not much. He had sorta lost his chance since he's had a month to ask Korra out and never got the guts to do it. Korra with her impeccable timing, walked over to the table with a smile on her face. Great. Mako thought, just freakin great! She's happy Iroh asked her out! " hey guys!" Korra said with the smile still on her face. Why couldn't she be smiling cause I asked her out? Oh! That's right! I was an idiot and didn't ask her first!
Korra's POV
Korra noticed Mako's bad mood right away. Her smile drooped and she asked "Something wrong Mako? You look kinda... angry."
"Why do you care?!" Mako half shouted. Korra resorted, her temper flaring, "Well, excuse me Mr. Hot head! I was just asking what's wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me is you!" Asami stared at Mako In shock,her eyes widening. You could almost hear Bolin's mouth drop open and he sat there staring at Mako his mouth gaping.
Mako immediately realized what he had said and opened his mouth to apologize, but Korra cut him off by saying, "Well,it's nice to know I'm your problem." Korra then ran out of the party her eyes watering before Mako could say anything.
Korra's POV
How could Mako say that! Does he think I don't have feelings?! Korra stopped running and looked around her. For some reason her feet had carried her to the cities park. Korra sits under a tree and starts to cry. At least no ones around to see me like this... "Korra?" A deep voice asks. "Is that you?"
Korra jumps up and instinctively goes into a fighting stance. "Who's there?" She yells, her voice cracks a bit. "Relax Korra. It's just me."
Korra turns around and sees Iroh standing there with a concerned expression.
"Korra? What happened?" He asks gently. Taking a few steps towards her.
Oh no! I can't let Iroh see me like this! Korra quickly tries to wipe away her tears, but Iroh already saw. Iroh sees the tears and gets even more concerned. He steps forwards and places his arms around her in a firm hug. "Korra, What happened?" He whispers.
Korra can't take it any longer. "I'm so angry!" She cries. " Mako's an idiot!"
She feels Iroh stiffen. "He did this to you?" he asks, his voice deeper then before. "He seemed upset and I asked what was wrong, and he told me I WAS HIS PROBLEM!" Korra yells pulling away from Iroh. Strangely, she misses the warmth and protection of his arms. I need to hit something! Korra then shoots a blast of fire at the bridge. "Korra, please calm down your going to hurt yourself or someone else." Iroh says. "DON'T tell me to CALM DOWN!" Korra screams then blasts another fire punch at the ground. Iroh quickly stomps on the left over embers then seeing that Korra has gotten most of her anger out asks, " Where.." but before he could finish Korra starts crying again. Iroh sits gently down beside her. "Your right Korra." "Mako's an idiot for saying that to you." Iroh says a hit of anger in his voice." Korra looks at him a little surprised.
"I'm sorry about freaking out on you..." Korra says a little embarrassed
Great! Now Iroh probably thinks I'm a cry baby.
"That's fine Korra. You were upset." (Awkward silence)
"Well... I need to get back to the island." Korra breaks the silence.
"Oh no!" Korra says suddenly making Iroh jump.
"what?!" Iroh asks looking around.
"I left the party pretty messed up and i was suppose to make a speech at the end!" Korra says, frantically standing up.
Iroh quickly grabs her arm. "Go on back to air temple island. I'll go back to the party and tell everyone that you weren't feeling good and went back to the island."
"Thank you so much Iroh!" Korra says and throws her arms around his neck in a quick hug. Then she dashes off to catch the next ferry.
Iroh's POV
On his way back to the party Iroh is thinking of how upset Korra was.
How could Mako say that to her?! Doesn't he care at all about how SHE feels?!
Im gonna get him back for making her cry like that...
Iroh gets to the door of the party and still flaming at Mako, thinks, Mako, How DARE you say that to Korra! You're gonna pay for those words...
Chapter 2 will be up in a few days! (at MOST a week) Thanks so much for reading! Please review! :D -Wild-at-Heart14
