"Makooo!" The former prince of the earth kingdom took a big leap while trying to avoid some mecha suits that stubbornly chased him.
Even tho Kuvira's time had finished, that all had calm down in the earth kingdom, a republic had started, the truth was that some people weren't very keen with the idea of a member of the so called "royalty" still be laying around. True that Wu would get in trouble now and then with some fanatic supporters of Kuvira that had a hard time letting things go… Mako had to admit, it was fun to… well… still have fun!
"Makooooooo!" The skinny boy kept running waiting for his usual being saved by his big broody bodyguard. Mako could not still avoid rolling his eyes, in slight fun, while he clinched his fists throwing fire at the mecha suits. Nothing that he had not done before of course, something easy for him for sure!
A left fire punch, a right fire punch, a kick here and there and the robot started trembling from all the hits he had received. Wu just took this chance to hide behind a rock admiring his bodyguard getting a job well done. Even if he had took lessons from his old buddy Mako, the truth was that he was no fighting man, he was a man or art, of singing and other hidden talents for sure, yet to discover.
"You take care of it Mako, I am here if you need any help." Wu added.
"Sure that will really be handy." The firebender shot his punches and kicks faster.
Yet, this didn't made him annoyed like before. With time, he had begun to appreciate the little things in life, even if they meant to protect the little twerp that was the big "prince" Wu. Giving some mecha suits a beating was fun. Protecting the prince too. Even the prince's company was… strangely acceptable. It was amusing actually.
And a big fire kick landed on the robot's chest. A yell was heard from inside as the robot opened letting his conductor escape. Wu cheered and went to Mako. "I know you could do it my big though guy~". His hand landed on Mako's chest as a compliment. Yet, the ex-cop noticed something wasn't okay, even if the suit was still operational, why did the man go away then…?
A quick glance inside made him fast notice that in between a lot of blazing punches and kicks against the mecha suit, the auto-destruction lever had been activated.
"Let's go!" He quickly held the skinny brat by his torso and jumped down behind some rocks.
As fast as the two boys landed, the robot burst into pieces, a big explosion made the two boys fall on the floor on their backs, standing next to each other.
A moment of silence and some panting passed. Then both guys just laughed… They had survived yet another fight. It was no laughing matter, but they were so used to it that all the excitement they felt just kicked in the adrenaline coming out in humour.
"Oh boy, you're lucky that I didn't had to show that thing that I'm a beast!" Wu grinned looking at Mako laughing.
"Oh yeah? You did nothing as always!" Mako kept laughing. He was so used to this kind of life, to this kind of fun, it did not bothered him anymore. Nothing could spoil his moment of fun and victory.
As he closed his eyes, a kiss fell on his lips, from Wu. Mako suddenly stopped laughing, what was going on? Why was that twerp, brat, annoying, skinny, idiotic jerk kissing him?!
It didn't last long, since Wu pulled it off still laughing at the situation and looking up with a bright grin on his lips, maybe gratitude from all that Mako did for him, or maybe the adrenaline of the moment just had got the best of him… Yet, at the end, he said.
"Thanks Mako… It's fun having you around."
Mako looked up too, staring at the big blue sky. His lips were still warm for what happened, yet… He could not avoid smiling.
"It's fun having you around too Wu."
