OK, I know I started writing Makorra fanfiction before the series even aired, so naturally I am a Makorra fan, but Mako and Asami are really sweet together. At the moment Masami is cannon, but in a way so is Makorra seeing as Korra appears to be jealous (and the infamous Makorra kiss screen shot). I thought I'd write something that is actually not too OC. Enjoy!
Ride Through The Park
Mako smiled warmly down at Asami as she leaned her head against his chest. He couldn't help but love the feeling of her hand underneath his; it was so soft and delicate. "I feel so safe when I'm with you," Asami said softly. Mako's grin widened.
Although they'd only been going out for a week or so, Mako knew there was something so right when he was with Asami. They reminded him of his own parents.
As Asami and Mako sat in the carriage that was taking them for a romantic night ride through Republic City Park, Mako noticed the position they were in. The way Asami was snuggling against his father's scarf that he had adorned since his parents' passing, his chin resting on top of her head was almost identical to a memory that Mako had of his parents from when he was around six.
At this thought Mako noticed just how similar he was to his father; amber eyes, dark hair, tall, and a Firebender. Then he remembered his mother's green eyes, which Bolin had inherited along with her Earthbending, and smiled again when he looked back at Asami, remembering her own green irises which were currently hidden from him by her purple-shaded eyelids.
He didn't know how long they would last, but at that moment everything was slightly better. The Fire Ferrets were in the Championship Tournament thanks to Asami's father's sponsorship and Asami would be in the crowd as always to support them, but now he would notice her as well. Now all they needed was to convince Korra to come back to training, as far as he knew she had accepted the rose and cupcake Bolin had given her, so that was definitely a step in the right direction.
