I do not own any of the characters from Legend of Korra.
Mako got off his shift early, a small blessing from Lin, and he shucks off pieces of his uniform in the doorway until he's in his undershirt and baggy pants, "Korra? Are you home?" He collapses on the sofa in his apartment and calls out, "Korra?" There's no response and Mako wanders through the rooms she's usually in. No one in the kitchen or bedrooms. He hears water running and follows the sounds, leading to the bathroom. A small whimper escapes through the door and Mako knocks, "Korra?" There's still no response, but he hears another breathy sound slipping through the cracks over the rush of water. "Korra!" Mako, suddenly worried, opens the door and yanks the shower curtains open. What he finds is Korra frozen in place under the steaming water, a blush tainting her cheeks as she pants. Mako can't help his glance over her body, they have been living together for quite some time now, and his gaze stops at where her digits have pressed beneath her dark curls. He looks back into Korra's eyes and finds she's not angry at him, though he expected her to be. Instead, he finds her pupils watching him, dilated with pleasure. Her tanned fingers reach out and grab the front of his shirt, "I thought you were on duty until five." She's pulling him under the stream of water, closer to her bare skin. He slides his lips across her shoulders, "I got off early. Couldn't wait up for me?" Korra starts yanking his now soaked clothing from his body, "Well, now that you're here, make yourself useful." Mako responds by scooping her into him arms and pressing her into the wall behind her. Another sigh slips from her lips and Mako hums in appreciation. Her fingers dance along his skin, scratching and leaving marks in their wake. He kisses her hard underneath the water blasting on their skin, hoping that he'll have more early nights if it's ends like this.
