I've been on a LoK streak. This is just another one of my just for fun stories. It'll have more chapters, I just have to write the last two. Hopefully you won't have to wait long for the rest of it. :3
I do not own the characters or show Legend of Korra.
Chapter One: Deceiving Letters
Bolin sighed and washed Pabu absentmindedly. The earthbender was more interested in the fight that his brother and Asami were having below. They thought they were being quiet, but Bolin was happy to find that their idea of quiet was just barely audible to the younger boy upstairs. He rinsed the shampoo off of the creature's fur and moved his head closer to the stairs. The couple had been arguing since Asami found out Mako had kissed Korra a while back. Her position was that Mako should have told her, and the fact that he didn't allowed her to be suspicious. Mako's position consisted of nothing but lies known only to be just that to himself and his brother. He told Asami he didn't have romantic feelings for the female avatar and that it was just a onetime thing that happened before he met her.
Bolin straightened up and made himself look determined in his chore of washing the little fire ferret as Mako stomped upstairs.
"I hate fighting…it's all for nothing in the end…" Mako pulled his precious scarf off so that he could wash his face.
"You two make up then?" Bolin asked. He knew the answer; of course they did. They always did before starting another argument a couple hours later. Mako confirmed the obvious and talked to the younger of the two, but Bolin drifted off into his thoughts. He knew the true reason they were always fighting.
Mako had feelings for Korra, plain and simple. Mako refused to own up to the feelings and Asami refused to accept it. Bolin got up and dried Pabu off. He had to do something.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say bro. I have to go to town for a bit, see ya." He hurried out leaving a very confused Mako in his wake.
What Mako needed was a push in the direction of Korra and away from Asami. Sure, the girl was sweet but she didn't belong with Mako. Bolin saw that his brother belonged with Korra. The three were just too stubborn to accept it.
Bolin picked up some supplies and set to work while enjoying a bowl of noodles. He addressed the two letters he had written in noticeably different script for each and addressed them accordingly. He made the trip to deliver one to Korra -donning a clever disguise so that she wouldn't recognize her friend (though she recognized him anyway) - and brought one home to Mako.
"You got some mail bro," Bolin threw him the letter and sat down. Mako groaned and opened it. He gave it a quick look over before sitting forward and reading it again. Bolin grinned and felt proud of himself. He was the matchmaker extraordinaire.
"A secret admirer…sure," He looked up before reciting:
Mako,
This is hard for me to say, but I can't help myself anymore. I'm in love with you…I'm just too embarrassed to tell you in person. If I knew how you truly felt about me, I think I could bring myself to say how I feel too your face. I just need to know you feel the same way. I love you.
A Secret Admirer.
Mako looked at Bolin with a grin. "I think we both know who wrote this, Bo." He chuckled. Bolin gave a nervous chuckle, worried that he hadn't disguised the note well enough.
"O-oh yeah? Who?" Bolin asked nervously.
"Asami of course. She probably still feels bad about the argument…" He got up and grabbed his towel. "I'm going to go shower and give her a visit. Don't wait up bro." He walked out.
Bolin groaned. This was going to be harder than he thought…
