This is my first Fanfiction and I'm not sure how many people will l like it. this is just the beginning and I have many chapters I could add.


She was irritating. She was irritating and obnoxious and rude. But she was also, sweet and kind, and courageous, and fun, and beautiful, and optimistic. Her lips were soft and- Stop! Mako Stop! .The firebender thought to himself. He watched his brother and Korra spar from across the room. They were so natural together, and always looked like they had fun.

Mako wasn't about to lie to himself, he was jealous. It had been about a week from the kiss on the balcony he and Korra had shared. He and his brother hadn't talked much about it, just that Mako was sorry for being so thoughtless and Bolin was sorry about the way he had freaked out. Mako could tell his brother's interest in romancing Korra had gone down. The way they looked at each other was the way best friends did. Mako watched as the two of them laughed, wishing he could stop staring at her.

"Hi sweetie", he felt a light kiss on his cheek. He turned to find his girlfriend standing next to him with the same warm smile she always had.

"Hey, Asami" he replied and kissed her forehead. Her comforting smile turned into a frown.

"I have some bad news. I have to cancel our dinner plans. My dad says he misses spending time with me. I'm really sorry"

"No problem" said Mako, "I think it is nice that your dad wants to spend some time with you. We can just reschedule." He put his arm around her waist and brought in for a hug. Her head rested on his chest. He was still facing his brother and the Avatar. Now if only this were K- no, no, no. Asami is my girlfriend and she is perfect. His thought began to spiral when she, once more kissed him on the check, said goodbye and went off doing who knew what.

Korra a broke the silence, a few moments later. "Alright guys, I gotta go. Councilman Buzzkill wants me back home to meditate" she was almost to the locker room when she turned back around. "Oh yeah I almost forgot, Pema invited you guys over for dinner tonight… if you're interested."

"I would love too! But Mr. Mako here, has a date tonight" Bolin said with a smirk. Mako looked at Korra. She was upset, but clearly trying to hide it. He could feel himself go red at the thought of Korra still having feelings for him.

"Well actually, Asami just stopped by and said that she couldn't make it. So I guess I'm free." Mako said trying to sound as uninterested as possible.

Korra lit up. "Great! I'll let Pema know. See you at six" she said, then disappeared into the locker room.

In their apartment Mako was making lunch and Bolin was, once again, failing at an attempt to give Pabu a bath. "You know you really should say something" Bolin said.

"What are you talking about?" Mako asked confused.

"Come on. I've seen the way you look at her. I don't have a problem with it anymore, but Asami can probably see the way you, look at each other to."

"I don't know bro you're probably right- wait you don't like Korra anymore?"

Bolin had a smile on his face. "I guess I didn't really like her much like that. I started to realize that she would be a better friend for me than anything romantic" Mako felt a huge weight taken off his shoulders. He knew his brother was over her, but now, now he heard him admit it.

Then there was a knock on the door. Mako opened it to find Toza standing on the other side. "Mako there is someone here to see you; she looks upset, which is weird because we usually get girls angry at Bolin." Mako turned to his brother, face stuffed with noodles, and the farthest look of guilt possible.


I know it is short, but like I said It is just the beginning. I'm planning on publishing the next part soon. Let me know what you think :)
