I don't own Legend of Korra. Only the plot.
Enjoy!
Mako POV
"WOOHOO! THIS IS AWESOME!" I sighed at Bolin's overjoyed comment. He was dancing like there was no tomorrow. I didn't know a person could be on their feet that long.
I weaved through the crowd, looking for a nice, empty wall to lean against. I finally found one, and leaned back on it, folding my arms across my chest.
I looked at the dance floor, tens of people dancing like they're life depended on it. I scanned the crowd, and spotted Asami. We locked eyes for a moment, then I looked away. We broke up... mainly because of Korra.
Korra.. it was all her fault. She made Asami and me break up. She kissed me. She broke my brother's heart. She never comes to practice.
Yet... Korra was beautiful.. She was amazing, and graceful. She brings joy to me.
But I decided to be a jerk to her. I just had to push her and push her and push her. But it's nobody's fault that I fell in love with her. I just-
My own thoughts were cut off as I saw Korra weaving her way through the crowd towards me. She had a bright smile on her face. I smirked.
But then, someone decided to block her path. I narrowed my eyes. I knew that hair anywhere. Tahno.
"Hey, little Fire Ferret. How 'bout you and I dance?" His voice was sleazy, and right then I wanted to rip the guy's head off.
"Uh.. no thanks, Tahno. Now, lemme through."
He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her flush against him. "I don't think so. You'll dance with me, and you'll like it."
Already, I was seeing red.
And that was when he started to forcefully kiss her. She pushed against his chest with all her might but he would just not let go.
I had had enough. I stormed off, and ripped him off of her, then punched him in the face. Tahno stumbled back, then punched me in the mouth. I was about to bunch him again when a warm hand grabbed my wrist. Korra.
"Mako.. stop," she said softly. I sighed and lowered my fist. I narrowed my eyes at Tahno.
"Don't you ever touch her again," I seethed. "Or I swear, you'll regret it." With that, I wrapped my arm around Korra's waist and led her outside. The moon glowed on her face, the light dancing in her eyes, but not hiding the fear.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
She nodded, then buried her face in my chest. I wrapped my arms around her.
"Shh... he will never touch you again."
Korra looked up at me, smiling. "Thank you," she said, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Korra.. I.. I couldn't stand the way he was looking at you.. the way he touched you.. the way he freaking kissed you.. I.. I guess what I'm trying to say is... I love you, Korra." I silently sighed with relief. It felt good to get that off my chest.
Her eyes were bright, twinkling with happiness and.. love.
"I love you, too, Mako. So much..." I smiled.
Cupping her face in my hands, I leaned down and kissed her. She kissed me back immediately.
Eventually, we had to break apart for air.
"Hmm.. Why would you save me?" Korra teased.
I smirked. "Why wouldn't I?"
Aww! I thought it was cute. What did you think?
