Sleep
Mako entered the apartment that he shared with his girlfriend, Korra. He had to work one of the late shifts that day at the station. After a long say at work, he just wanted to go to sleep with his arms wrapped around his favorite Avatar. He was so tired that he was amazed he could still stand.
He shut the front door silently and walked towards the bedroom. Mako stopped short when he found his girlfriend asleep on the couch. The radio by their brown couch was turned on and tuned to some jazz music station. The music seemed to mix and mingle with Korra's silent snoring. She was already dressed for bed.
Mako walked over to the girl's slumbering figure. Korra looked so peaceful up close. Mako noticed that there was some drool on the armrest that was being used as a pillow at the moment. Her hair was undone; dark strands of hair had fallen in front of her closed eyes. Korra's blue eyes opened as he brushed the hair out of her tan face.
"Hey." Mako said, a soft smile forming on his lips.
"You're home." Korra responded, yawning as she said it.
"You fell asleep on the couch?" He asked quietly, amusement evident in his voice.
Korra sat up and stretched. " I was going to wait for you. I even turned the radio on to keep me awake. But the couch is just so comfy. And I guess I fell asleep." She yawned again.
Mako chuckled at the Avatar's explanation. "Well," he started, "I'm bone tired and I need some sleep. I don't know about you but I think that the bed would be even better to sleep on than the couch." He picked his Korra up and carried her bridal style to their bedroom. She yelped a little bit with the sudden movement but relaxed a little when he started walking towards the bed.
Mako set Korra down on the bed and changed into his sleeping clothes. When he got back o the bed, Korra was already under the blankets. He joined her and wrapped his arm around her, his hand resting on her stomach. He felt her scoot closer until his chest was me with her back.
Mako yawned. "I love you."
"I love you too, City Boy." Korra replied. And then she was out like a light, asleep for the second time that night.
Soon Mako fell asleep, his thoughts circling around the mocha skinned girl in his arms.
The End
