"Mako, roll over."
"No."
"Mako." Korra moaned, pouting in the darkness of their bedroom. "Please?" She was lying on her side facing him while he faced her right back. He had been asleep until she'd nudged him awake just a few seconds ago.
"Why is it so important?" Sleep was still clouding his mind as he spoke to her, not thinking anything of this.
"Because I'm uncomfortable, it's your fault, and I want to sleep like that." She replied concisely and his eyes finally opened, adjusting easily to the darkness. She was pouting at him, her characteristic bottom lip jutted out in the most adorable manner. Even at three am, it was adorable. Her hair was loose, long, and shiny with the new hormonal changes affecting her.
"Is he bothering you?" Mako reached out and gently touched her belly how it stuck out between them.
"No, he's quiet, but I'm uncomfortable." She reiterated and placed her hand over his. "Please?"
"Fine." He sighed, willing to do just about anything for his pregnant wife. Mako rolled himself over and slid back toward the middle of the bed as Korra slid forward and oddly, down a little. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face into his back.
She was asleep in seconds.
He had to smile at the sound of her breathing because he couldn't actually see her. It was one of the main reasons he didn't like to sleep like this, he didn't like it when she hugged him from behind and he couldn't wake up and see her. Instead he had to close his eyes and remember exactly what she looked like when she was asleep and feel her against his back. The bump of their little baby pressing against the small of his back.
When it came down to it, he preferred holding her, but it was amusing how she occasionally used him as a big teddy bear, gripping him tight and not letting him go. Her face pressed into his back, she'd said she liked being able to smell him, whatever that meant, and her legs always ended up intertwined in his.
Maybe it wasn't so bad.
