It hurt.

Asami didn't think it would hurt so much, afterall, she knew Mako cared for Korra. When she'd first heard of the crush Korra had on Mako, Asami had felt bad. Crushing on someone who was dating someone else seemed as if it would seriously hurt. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel smug. At that time, she had pushed away her thoughts. Now wasn't the time, she told herself, to be feeling arrogant. But now...

Now she actually saw how much Mako cared for Korra. With the firey teen missing, Mako literally drove himself with worry. Not to mention the fact that they had kissed. So many feelings had overwhelmed her, including bitterness. A knife felt like it was stabbed into her heart. I don't think it matters or anything. Bolin's words replayed in her mind. And she had bitterly retored back, I doubt that. And she wasn't wrong.

The incident at the Equalists' hideout had scared her. Mako looked ready to kill. The gleam in his eyes and the force behind his words made it easy to tell. Luckily, no one had gotten killed. Asami had heard of the expression, dying with worry, but this. This was no normal worry for a comrade, a teammate, a friend. This was a worry for a beloved, a soulmate, a cherished one. And once again, Asami felt the knife in her heart twisting.

But when he found Korra...

When he found Korra, his voice was gentle. He even carried her. The knife in her heart twisted even more, making her more jealous and hurt. Asami couldn't help it. She wasn't some magical being. She was only human. Even with Equalists threatening the city, she tried her best to shake off her feelings. Asami couldn't deny one thing though.

It still hurt.

End.

A/N: So, what did you guys think? :D I'd love to hear your thoughts! I felt really bad for Asami, even though I totally support Makorra (^^) but Asami was just, dang, poor her. I was kinda angry at Mako. But anyways, can't wait for Saturday! Finally my profile is no longer empty! Horrary!

Reviews are lovely.
