He held me close, but not close enough. I could feel his warmth radiating off of him- being a Firebender cranks your temperature up a notch. He wasn't squeezing me or even speaking. He was just holding me.
He sighed and his hot breath washed over my face and hair. He smiled uncertainly, like he didn't genuinely mean it. "Don't smile at me," I said quietly. He looked surprised. I suppose I'm more perceptive than he realizes.
"Asami⦠I'm sorry," he said. His voice was hollow. He was done with me. He kissed me, but the kiss lacked luster. It was then that I could tell. I knew. I knew that it was all over. I had lost Mako to Korra and there is nothing that I could do about it.
It was something that I had accepted.
"It's okay Mako. I know. You don't have to feel sorry," I said to him. I then pushed him away. I could see that he was very confused and shocked. But I wasn't going to turn back now. I am done.
As he walked away, I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. Finally the pressure had lifted from my chest. What I felt was relief.
Based on Goodbye in Her Eyes by Zac Brown Band. Wanted to confirm for all the Masami breakup. SO MANY FEELS. I'm a Makorra shipper, don't be confused.
