Disclaimer note: I do not own legend of korra (I wish I did).
"Wow I am tired" Korra said out loud. She just got back from her first pro bending match with the fire ferrets and they won. She admitted that she was kind of rusty and didn't understand some of the rules. Korra liked that she was learning the new types of fighting. Korra also liked her teammates. One of them was Bolin, he reminded her of a little kid he liked to talk a lot and have fun. Then there was Mako 'oh what a hunk' Korra thought to herself. Mako was on her mind since they first met I guess you can say that she had live on first sight. His jet black hair and golden eyes whenever he looked at her Korra just wanted to melt into his eyes.
Korra walked into the air temple island common ground and the girls sleeping wing was in sight. Korra wasn't tired because her blood was still rushing from the fight and thinking about Mako. So she turned around and headed to the stairs leading to the beach shore.
Korra finally got down to the beach and she immediately took off her shoes and ran to the water. The water against her feet made Korra fell like she was back home in the southern water tribe. She continued to walk down the beach with her feet in the water, that is when she noticed something.
There was a boy kneeling on one knee his head down with his body facing the water. Korra couldn't make out who he was and before she could say anything the boy shot a humongous fire ball into the air lighting up the sky. Korra looked confused at what the boy was doing but she had to stop him before he set something on fire.
"Hey you stop that right now". Korra yelled out.
The boy looked to the right and saw a figure that he couldn't make out all he could understand that she was a girl. But the boy didn't stick around to see who it was he quickly got off his knee and ran away from Korra.
"Hey wait I'm not going to hurt you all I want to do is talk".
Korra started to run after him she was gaining on him fast. Korra was about to grab the back of the boys jacket when he used his firebending and sent him flying forwards out of Korras reach. That made Korra mad and she thought of a plan to catch him quicker. She used her earthbending and bent the rocks under neath her to send her flying forwards. It didn't take Korra long to reach the boy, when she got close enough she tackled the kid and pinned his arms and legs on the ground.
"listen kid I just want to know what you are doing" Korra asked curiously.
"If you get off of me I will explain everything Korra" the masked boy said.
"How do you know my name".
Korra got suspicious and looked at the guys mask it turns out it was a red scarf. That got her thinking who else did she know that wore a red scarf. It instantly hit Korra. She reached down to the scarf and pulled it off the boys face to reveal the captain of the fire ferrets Mako.
"Mako what are you doing here on air temple island, you know that you're not aloud here without Tenzinshe permission. You can get arrested by the white lotus if they caught you before me".
Mako was staring into her eyes and he didn't look away until he was brought back to reality by a screaming Korra "MAKO!".
"I'm sorry Korra but this is the only place in republic city that is private for me". Korra released Mako and they both stood up and faced each other.
"Ok before we get into this can you tell me the significance of your red scarf" Korra asked. She was surprised when she saw Mako clutch the spot on his body where his heart was located.
"Well if you must know then I will tell you. Well this scarf was my fathers scarf he gave it to me on my 9th birthday and when he did he told me that this scarf has magic powers to protect the person wearing it".
"That sounds cool but where are your parents anyway I haven't seen them around". Korra watched Mako clutch his heart again and she waited patiently for his response.
"About one week after he gave me his scarf we were coming home from a play we saw when we were stopped by a street thug. He demanded that we give him all of our money and he wouldn't hurt us. But after my parents gave him all of their money he shot his fireblasts at my parents and killed them right in front of me."
Mako stopped talking and tears started to fall down his cheek. Korra noticed this and it broke her heart.
"Oh Mako I am so sorry I didn't know that".
"It's okay Korra I am not mad at you".
"So why are you here tonight?" Korra asked
"today is the 10 year anniversary of my parents death and I wanted to come down here to the most quiet beach in republic city and honor them. That frireblast you saw was just my emotions spilling out I got mad at the thug and my body and actions showed my hatred".
Korra didn't say a word all she did was walk over to Mako and embrace him in a hug. Mako was surprised but what Korra didn't know that he was in love with her so he didn't pull away.
"I think it's really sweet that you are honoring your parents". She was about to pull away from the hug but something was forcing her not to. It was the same with Mako it felt right to hold her in his arms. Eventually they pulled out of the hug but their faces ended up so close that they can smell each other.
"Korra you look so beautiful".
Their lips got closer by the second and eventually they both closed their eyes and awaited their lips to meet. And sure enough they did. Mako was going insane her lips were so smooth and so was her mocha colored skin. Korra was also going insane Makos lips were so warm because he was a firebender and she didn't want to stop kissing him. Eventually they both had to pull away for air and when they did they were gasping for it because there lungs were so dry.
They stares into each others eyes one golden yellow and the other an ocean blue.
During their hard breathing Mako managed to say."Korra I love you so much since the first time you walked into the locker room with Bolin".
Korra blushed at what Mako said."Mako I also love you from the minute I saw you in the training room".
The two smiled at each other and joined for another passionate kiss. Mako grabbed her hips and moved Korra closer to deepen the kiss while Korra put her arms around Makos neck to deepen the kiss and play with the hair on the back of his head. This time they kissed for much longer and when they broke for air they both had to sit down.
"Uh Mako" Korra Said panting for air still.
"Yes Korra".
"Well I'm not really good with this relationship stuff but does this mean you're my boyfriend and I am your girlfriend" Korra said asking curiously.
"I guess it does" Mako said nodding his head in response at the same time.
"Good because I really wanted to be your girl mr hat trick".
"That's good because I wanted to be your man Avatar Korra" Mako said teasing her as well.
The two started to laugh at each other and then Mako said "Korra I want you to have something".
"What is it" Korra asked eagerly.
Korra watched as Mako took off his fathers red scarf and put it around her neck. Korras mind was blown when he did that she looked at for a couple of seconds before she said anything.
"But Mako this is your fathers scarf the only thing you have left to remember him".
"No Korra it's alright remember what I said it protects the person who wears it, when you wear it makes me feel that you are safe. And when you are safe it makes me happy".
"Thank you Mako you are so kind to me".
Mako and Korra shared a quick butterfly kiss which made both of them smile.
"So Mako do you want to finish the walk on the beach with me".
"I would love to Korra".
The two intertwined fingers and walked out into the night.
