I stand there not knowing what to do, where to go, my mind is racing, from the events that i still don't believe but yet happened before my own eyes. i see Mako approach and i suddenly feel relaxed, hes the only person who makes me feel free to just be me. he walks up to me my immediate response is to hug him, feel his warm arms around me. before i have any chance to make any sort of move he speaks

"Korra, we need to talk" my mind suddenly goes numb, i hope its not about breaking up, again

"Yeah sure, what is it Mako?"

"There's something i need to tell you Korra," i don't respond, the worst has happened, he doesn't want to be with me anymore i try not to cry, showing my emotions has always been a hard thing for me but when it comes to Mako everything is just so right "Remember that fight i told you about?" i still don't answer "Well it was worse than what i told you, we sort of broke up" i cant stop myself from answering, reveling the truth that i didn't want to become true

"I know" his facial expression changes

"But you told me you didn't remember anything"

"Well i didn't at first, but in the tree i saw that memory and it all came back to me" he look hurt, the pain in his eyes, so deep it killed me inside to

"Oh, well Korra i want you to know that while you were gone, i thought about that fight everyday, i wished it never happened" he grabs my hand i can feel the warmth of his palm on mine, he is a true firebender

"I know, i never wanted to break up with you it was just a stupid fight"

"Mako i want so badly to be with you ,but im the Avatar, and our relationship would never work" his eyes, they pierce into my soul

"Korra i love you so much" he presses his forehead against mine, hes so close i can feel his nose brush against mine, i can practically taste his lips already

"I love you to Mako" with that sentence, that i have said so many times i press my lips against his, hot and fiery just like his personality. i can feel his lips move underneath mine a feeling i have experienced many times before, but this time was different, knowing it may be the last time i ever taste those lips. as i pull away mixed emotions of sadness, pain, anger, and love wash over me, over and over again, like waves rolling over the beach. i whisper the final words that destroy me "I'm sorry" i turn to walk away, i can feel his hand slip through mine, when he suddenly grips my hand

"I know what you said, but im not giving up on the best thing that happened to me that easily" i stare at the words straight in the face, "best thing that ever happened to me" did he really think of me like that? i don't have any time to reflect on the words that flowed out of his lips, when suddenly he spun me around, wrapping his strong firebending arms around me, i can feel the heat from his body as those same lips that uttered the best words i ever heard pressed against mine, and yet again we were kissing. it felt like forever before i pulled away, i was still dizzie from the kiss, i close my eyes and breath in his scent, a smell i could live and die in. i barley utter his name "Mako" so silent i didn't even hear it

"Korra just think about it, dating the avatar is no walk in the park, but i love you so much and i just cant live without you"

"But Mako we just cant"

"Says who? Katara and Ang made it work so why cant we?" i was stumped, everything he was saying was the truth

"Mako if this is going to work i need you to promise me one thing" he cups my face and looks into my eyes

"Yes Korra anything"

"Never stop loving me, ok" he smiled, that same smile that makes me melt

"I will love you until the day i die" he then leaned in and kissed me, i could get lost in Makos kisses and in this case i did. in this moment i was no longer Avatar Korra, but just a girl, in love.
