Howdy everyone! :D
Again, thank you for all the positive reviews and your follows and favorites! I appreciate it! :)
So, may I shut my mouth for a little, so you can enjoy reading!
"Korra!"
A girl with a tan skin looked at the door, as she smiled brightly.
"Ikki, Jinora! Hey!" She replied, standing up from a couch, as they ran up to her and hugged the girl.
"We missed you! Where have you been?" Jinora, who was the eldest child in airbender's family asked Korra, looking at her with eyes full of curiousity.
The Avatar chuckled, as she looked at the two.
"I was helping Mako to find Bolin." She simply replied.
"Wait, wait. Mako? The Mako?! As in the coolest pro-bender in the history of pro-bending?!" It was Ikki's turn to ask questions to Korra, who's cheeks were turning pink.
"Y-yeah..." She coughed in her hand awkwardly.
"And I suppose Bolin is his brother, the earthbender?" Jinora added, as Korra nodded.
"Yes, you are right. So, that's basically where I was these past days. A regular thing for Avatar: helping people." She replied, shrugging.
It was late in the evening. Tenzin, Pema and Meelo went to the theater to see a play. They only left 30 minutes ago or so.
"Wait, two days? The search was that long?" Jinora put her hands on her hips, looking at Korra in disbelief.
"Um, yes? Why are you asking?" The Avatar crossed her arms, as she looked directly at the one that asked her question. She couldn't figure out, what was Jinora's problem.
But then, slowly she started to connect two and two.
"Hey, it's not what you think! We really were searching for him these whole days!" Korra waved her hands around, her face flushed with both embarrassment and anger.
After that, the two sisters high-fived each other, giggling.
"Calm down, we were just checking something!"
"Checking something? What exactly? How The Avatar's face grows red as a tomato?" She huffed, pouting.
"Maybe." Ikki laughed, as Korra rolled her eyes.
"The thing is, we want to ask about Mako." Jinora spoke, her voice sounding half-serious.
"Aren't you too young to fall fo-
"No!" Jinora put her hand to the Avatar's mouth, silencing her immediately.
"We just want to know what do you think of him. And his firebending." Though, her last sentence wasn't really carrying any interest for Jinora. All that mattered to her at the moment, was the first question.
Korra however could sense that. And she wasn't going to give up so easily.
"You don't have anyone else to annoy, do you?"
"You're right, we don't." Ikki replied, her big eyes looking at Korra.
"Dodging the theme, eh, Korra?" Jinora smirked at the blue-eyed girl.
"Listen," She sat on her knees, so she was almost at the same height as the airbenders were. "we are just comrades. We are two opposites. And besides, I don't know him that much."
Before they could reply, there was a knock on the door.
Korra threw girls a glance, before she ran to open the door.
"Oh...H-Hey Mako." Korra said, keeping her coolness, as she looked at the handsome firebender, that was standing two steps away from her.
"Can I come in?" He asked, looking at her. But then his gaze shifted to the two girls in the same looking clothes, and who's smiles were bright as the rays of sun.
"Sure." Korra replied, as Mako walked in.
"Opposites attract!~" Jinora mused, looking at flushed Korra.
"Shush!" She growled at the girl, pointing her fist at her, as Jinora stuck her tongue out.
"Excuse me?" Mako asked. He heard their whisperings behind him.
"These fangirls are everywhere. That's just ridiculous." Mako thought, shaking his head from left to right.
"No, no, it's nothing." Korra waved her hand, a drop of sweat on her forehead.
"Anyway, why are you here?" She asked, her blue eyes watching the pro-bender with a red scarf, who was leaning on a wall, with his arms crossed around his chest.
"Just visiting..." However, she caught that one teeny-tiny note of another emotion in his voice.
She narrowed her eyes.
He noticed that. After a sigh, he looked at the wooden floor.
Fine, he wasn't visiting her. He wanted to just go away. It was a bad idea, that came to his mind.
It was very weird, being in the same room with the Avatar. Especially, with the Avatar being a girl...
"Okay...I just wanted to thank you." He blurted out.
Her face now held a look of confusion, as her eyebrow raised.
"You know, for helping me find Bo the other day..." He scratched the back of his head, avoiding eye-contact.
Korra smiled a little, her cheeks rosy a bit.
Who would've known, that Mister Pride would come to the Air Temple Island and thank her.Her, who he at first thought of 'another crazy fangirl'. But Korra knew, that he wasn't like that. After he told her about his past, which was not the best, she understood why he acted like that. And it still hurt her sometimes. Though, she would never say that out loud.
''That's a progress..." She thought to herself, smile never leaving her face.
Noticing, how silent she was, Mako decided to go home. He did what he had to.
The firebender needed to go back home immediately.
"Okay, now I'll go." He said abruptly, rushing to the door to exit.
"Wait." Korra stretched her hand out and place it on his shoulder.
He tensed at the sudden contact.
"What?" Mako asked, his back still facing Korra.
"You are welcome. I actually thank you too. For accepting my help." She said, quieter than her normal voice volume.
The male pro-bender nodded.
"Goodbye." He said, and closed the door as he walked away fast, before she oculd reply.
"Goodbye..." She muttered and sighed quietly.
"Korra, what's wrong?" Jinora and Ikki walked up to her, surrounding the young Avatar.
"Nothing, girls..." She looked at them.
"You can tell us. We won't laugh. Promise." Ikki put a hand on her chest, as Jinora did.
"It's just...I can't believe, that from all the people in the World, he makes me feel the butterflies in my stomach, every time I see him." Korra replied, blushing, as she hugged her knees.
So, there it is. I couldn't stop myself from writing that.
May also continue this from Mako's side, if you want to.
Anyways, thanks for reading and see yoy all soon! :D
