Korra and Mako sat alone together on the beach of air temple island, watching the sun go down behind the silhouette of Republic City. Korra was nestled comfortably in Mako's lap. "Mako?" she asked as she traced her fingers over his calloused knuckles.

"Hmm?"

"How long have we been together?"

"Three years," he answered without hesitation.

Korra looked puzzled, "Only three years?"

Mako smiled at her lovingly, "Just think of all the years we have to go."

Korra grinned at him wickedly, "Oh? What makes you so sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with you? Bolin has been such a great friend to me..."

"Ha ha." Mako tried to hold back a smile, "Very funny."

"I thought it was," she winked at him.

They froze for a moment staring into each other's eyes. Mako cleared his throat, "Speaking of spending time together..."

"Yes?" Korra responded.

He laughed, "Would you consider going out with me this Thursday?"

"Hmmm..." she mused, "That depends on what we plan on doing."

"That, my dear, is a surprise."

"Well in that case," she teased, "I think I have plans."

Mako played along, "With who?"

"Well there's this one super hot fire bender who's been begging me to go out with him for three years! Now that wouldn't be kind of me to turn him down, would it?" She smiled widely, making her ice blue eyes sparkle, "I just don't think I have it in me to..."

Mako silenced her with a kiss.

"I guess he'll just have to wait," She whispered against his lips.

- Thursday -

Korra was frustrated. Three days. Mako hadn't talked to her for three days. She had thought that they'd been growing closer the past few months, but she must have been mistaken for him to not say anything about his absence. He told her all of his plans in the past, even if it was just to go visit Bolin on the mainland for a few hours. Yet suddenly she doesn't hear from him for three days? Where had he been? Did he change his mind about her? She knew that they'd booth agreed that they wouldn't be together until after they got married, if they ever did. Was it possible that he'd gotten tired of waiting and moved on to someone who didnt mind? The thought stewed in her mind as she walked into her room to get ready for her date.

Korra looked at herself in the mirror. Am I pretty? She wondered to herself. She contemplated her hair, tied up in the same three ponytails as usual. She tried taking the ponytails out, but the hair just fell in her face, making her frustrated until she finally just redid her hair the way it was before. "If Mako doesnt like it then that's his problem," she spat at the mirror. She pulled a clean outfit out of the closet and yanked the shirt over her head. She scowled at the mirror and started talking to it, "Deal with it!" She threw a spiteful punch in the direction of the vanity, causing flames to erupt in mid-air. She slammed the door behind her with a burst of wind.

She walked down the stairs to find Mako on the couch talking politely to Tenzin who had a stupid smile on his face that looked like he'd just one the lottery.

"Oh hey Tenzin," she grumbled, "Sorry to keep you waiting Mako."

Tenzin grunted, "Who spat in your dumplings?"

Korra stuck her tongue out at him. "Dont wait up Tenzin."

"I wasnt planning on it Korra."

She scowled at him. "Lets go Mako," she said, pulling him up from his seat on the couch.

"Alright?" Mako shurgged at Tenzin and exchanged a look with him on his way out the front door.

- Later -

"Is everything alright Korra?" Mako asked as he helped her off the ferry, "You seem kinda..."

"Kinda what Mako?" she interjected, "Is there something wrong with me?" she dropped his hand and crossed her arms, turning away from him.

"No Korra! Thats not what I meant at all!" He stepped around her and held her head gently between his hands, forcing her to make eye contact with him. "Hey..."

She tried to turn away, but not before Mako noticed the tear that had slipped out of her eye and was sliding slowly down her cheek. "Hey, honey, what is it?" he wiped the tear gently off her face.

"Its nothing," she attempted to lie.

"Come on Beautiful, you know I know you better than that."

"Don't call me that! You know its not true!"

Mako reared back like he'd been slapped in the face, "Where'd that come from? You're the most beautiful girl I know!"

Korra scoffed, "You must have forgotten about Asami pretty easily then! How long has it been since you've seen her? Were you with her last night?" It took Korra a minute to realize that she had fire balls dancing in her palms, itching to be thrown at her boyfriend.

"Korra, where is this..."

"Then where were you?" she shouted, causing others to look their way. "Or should I say, who were you with?"

"KORRA!" Mako shouted and grabbed her wrists, pulling her towards him. "How could you even think that?" he crushed her to his chest. "Korra?"

Korra grabbed a fistful of his scarf and cried against his shoulder. They stood together for a few moments crying together before Korra looked up at him and spoke softly, "So you weren't with Asami?"

"Korra," he paused and sighed, "I haven't felt like that about Asami... ever."

"But I thought..."

"Listen Korra," he said, patiently for once, "Do you remember when we first met?"

This brought a smile to Korra's lips and she nodded, "You mean when you were a total jerk?"

Mako ran his hand down his face. "Uh... Yeah. I was a big fat jerk and we both know it."

"Yeah you big jerk," Korra slugged him playfully in the shoulder and they sat down on the grass surrounding the ferry docks.

"Seriously Korra!" said the irritated Mako, "I was! I met you and I was judgmental and rude. I started falling in love with you when I saw you watch our pro-bending match. It was like you'd seen the sun for the first time and it was so completely you. I was going to apologize and beg you to forgive me but then I found out you were the avatar and my pride got in the way. I was so sure that you hated me for how I'd treated you. I was angry. Angry at Bolin for bringing you there to begin with, and angry at you for coming, but mostly angry with myself for ruining my chances with you."

Korra watched him recount the story and her heart softened. "Mako..."

"I'm not done yet," he brushed a kiss on her forehead and she laid down on the grass with her head in his lap, "Korra, I kept being a jerk to you and..." he punched the ground in frustration, "It still makes me sick now to think of how I reacted to the situation. I met Asami and I started dating her mostly as a distraction from you."

"Not to make me Jealous?" she looked at him skeptically.

"That too." he smiled, "The thought definitely crossed my mind. I really did like her, but, she just wasn't you.

They shared a moment staring into each others' eyes. Mako leaned down and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Korra sat up and wrapped her arms around him. "Ok," she teased, but only slightly, "We've established that you weren't with Asami. So where were you?"

With that Mako got nervous, "Uh... nowhere."

"Mako!" unruly tears pooled in her eyes, "Why can't you tell me? How bad could it be?"

He bucked up and grabbed both of her hands in his and held them to his chest, "Avatar Korra, do you trust me?"

She starred into his his eyes for a minute then turned away, "Yes."

He kissed her sweetly, "I promise that you will find out soon ok?"

"Alright." she said, getting to her feet and offering him her hand, "Lets get on with this date, shall we?"

What'd you guys think? Let me know! I'll try to keep them coming. :D

Thanks a million! You guys rock!
