So I've wanted to write a Legend of Korra fanfic for a while now, but I've been so lazy! And thanks to episode 8 and 9 I've had to rewrite the story quite a few times. So now I'm just gonna get started on this new version. Hope you guys like it! I do not own Legend of Korra.

Chapter One:

It's been a few days since Korra had been kidnapped by Tarrlok. Mako was always so worried about her. He had paid less attention than his own girlfriend to be by Korra's side while she recovered. Asami took note of this.

Asami hadn't even gotten a proper kiss from Mako, much less a hug. She knew Mako indeed had feelings for Korra. Not just because of Bolin's terrible lying, she could see right through Mako and how he cared so much for her. Why didn't he just break up with Asami if he cared about Korra this much? He would hurt her much less. But until that day comes, when Mako breaks up with her, Asami was going to try to spend as much time with Mako as possible.

Asami was walking back towards her room when she noticed both Bolin and Mako sitting on the steps laughing with Korra about something. Korra was still wrapped in bandages from where she was cut. Asami sighed and put on her best fake smile as she walked towards the group.

"So what are you guys laughing about?"

Mako looked up at Asami, but continued to laugh. "Oh, hey Asami. Korra was telling us about how Tenzin watched us the first time at pro-bending."

"Yeah it's hard to believe the old man would cheer for pro-bending." Bolin added.

Asami just nodded. It seemed to her that Mako only opened up this much around Korra. Around Asami it seemed that he was with her, but his head was somewhere else.

"Sounds…funny." Asami mumbled but nobody noticed.

As Team Avatar chatted, Pema came up. At first she didn't want to disrupt the teenagers from talking, but she had a favor to ask, and with the growing baby inside her, she wasn't able to do it herself.

"Hey kids." She greeted them.

They all looked up at Pema with smiling faces, except Asami. "Hi Pema!" Bolin, Mako, and Asami greeted.

"Is there something you need?" Korra asked as she stood up and winced at the pain. "Ow!"

Both Pema and Mako grabbed each of Korra's arms. "Korra, don't strain yourself." Mako said as he helped Korra sit back down on the steps.

"But Pema needs our help!"

"Yes I do, but not from you Korra." Pema said sternly.

"W-wha?"

"You're still healing; I can't have you running around Republic City in your state." Pema's motherly side was coming out which made Korra sulk a bit.

Korra sighed. "Fine…"

Pema straightened up and put a smile on her face. "But you three, could you do me a favor?"

Asami perked up a bit. Ever since Tenzin took in her, Mako, and Bolin, she felt like she was in their debt. "Of course we can!"

"But what about Korra?"

Asami's attention snapped to Mako. Again he looked hurt about the idea of leaving Korra alone. At this point Asami felt like pulling out her hair.

Pema just smiled again. "It's okay Mako; I'll be here with the kids with Korra. We'll take good care of her." She turned back to Korra. "In the mean time, you should get some more rest. I'll have Jinora bring you some food in a bit."

Korra nodded and started to get up but winced in pain again. Mako quickly helped Korra up the stairs and to her room. A pain shot through Asami, but she tried her best to look fine. And it seemed to work.

"He's such a nice young man." Pema said from beside Asami.

"Yup, that's my bro for ya. Pretty brooding but he likes to help." Bolin said from Asami's other side. "Plus he really cares about Korra." Bolin then noticed what he said and quickly tried covering it up. "Because you know…they're best friend! Yeah, so he's gotta take care of her. It's in job description for being a best friend…ha ha…yeah."

Asami rolled her eyes at Bolin and turned to Pema. "So what is it you need us to do?"

"Oh right!" Pema pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Asami. "It's just a few things I need from the market. Thanks again for doing this." Pema said, smiling at Asami.

Asami smiled back. "It's no problem at all."

Pema then left just as Mako came back out. "Ready to go?"

Asami nodded and the three made their way to the garage where she kept her Satomobile. They all got in the car. Bolin looked pretty chipper to be back in the Satomobile, but when she happened to glance over at Mako, he looked rather distant.

'I'm clearly not the one he wants.'
