This idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. The idea that Korra and Mako have a secret relationship. First chapter, more of a prologue to the story itself. Tell me what you think of it and I hope you like it:)

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra

He knew he had to have her the first time he laid eyes on her. She was strong and powerful. Just plain beautiful. Mako knew he had to have her, but knew that the Avatar would never go for someone like him. A poor guy that lived with his brother. Both scrounging to make ends meet.

He began to lose hope and just settled on being friends with Korra. She was nothing more to him than a team mate, or that's what he told himself every day at pro bending practice. Watching her bend and be so powerful, the way her eyes lit up whenever she completed a difficult move made Mako's heart swell. He wanted her so badly, to be able to call her 'mine.'

And then he met Asami, a wonderful girl, who showed a liking to Mako the minute she met him. He had pushed his want of Korra out of his mind and pursued a relationship with Asami. All had been going well with Asami and then one night after practice, Korra kissed him.

At first Mako was going to just push her off and run away, knowing that it was wrong, that he was in a relationship with Asami and he knew he shouldn't do this, that it was wrong but it felt so right. He pulled her in closer, cupping her face with both hands.

After a minute or so, Mako pulled back, breathing heavily and leaned his forehead gingerly against Korra's.

"Korra, I love you." he whispered.

"I love you too Mako." Korra finished, dragging him in for another kiss, when Bolin came up and interrupted them. A look of shock and sadness on his face.

He took one look at the both of them, and turned and ran, not saying a single word.

They pulled apart, and stared at each other, knowing that being together would hurt the people around them.

Korra turned to leave when Mako grabbed her arm, pulling her back to him. "Don't go." he pleaded with her.

"But Bolin, and you're with Asammi, I'm messing everything up." She closed her eyes, but he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers again.

"No you're not Korra." He looked down at her sternly, eyes boring into hers.

"But what about Bolin and Asami? And we have our team, we're teammates Mako! I shouldn't have kissed you in the first place, I'm so stupid." She looked down and started to pull out of his grip, but he only tightened it.

"If you hadn't of kissed me first, I would've kissed you. You just make me go crazy Korra, you are so amazing and beautiful, the first time I saw you, I knew that I loved you. I didn't try anything because I didn't think that you would go for a guy like me….." Mako finished looking at the ground.

A pregnant pause passed between them before Korra lifted his eyes back up to her gaze. "Mako you are amazing." and then she kissed him, pouring all of her passion and love for him into the kiss and Mako responded doing exactly the same.

Mako couldn't of been any happier than at that exact moment, the moment that Korra had responded to his love.

They pulled apart, Mako leaned his forehead gingerly against hers, breathing raggedly as he stared into her eyes.

"We should probably head back, before anyone gets to suspicious. Plus I should probably go talk to Bolin."

A look of fear passed over Korra's features. "Oh no Bolin, what are you going to tell him?"

Mako hadn't thought about that. Was it a good idea for him and Korra to go public now? He didn't want it to be awkward on the team. He sighed bringing his attention back to Korra's. "Ok, this is going to sound kind of crazy, but hear me out."

Korra raised an eyebrow at Mako, silently urging him to continue.

"What if we keep this, what we have between us a secret. Act normal in front of the others, as if nothing happened, but when we are alone, we can act like a couple."

Korra seemed hesitant. "Umm Mako, I don't know. Do you honestly think that can work?"

Mako didn't actually think that it would work, but he had to sound confident and self-assured. He finally got Korra, he wasn't going to let her go that easy. "Yes it will work," he leaned down to peck her on the lips. "Don't you trust me?"

She nodded slowly. "But what about Asami?"

His eyes widened at the mention of his girlfriend, he had seriously forgot all about her. "Just leave me to deal with that, it will all get sorted out eventually, but for now we have to keep this a secret, nobody can know."

"Ok Mako, I trust you." And she leaned up to kiss him whole-heartedly on the lips.

This was the beginning to their secret relationship.
