Sooo this is a new story I'm writing to make up for not finishing my last one, I hope this makes up for it!:)
Summary: Things between Mako and Korra seem to have gotten better, but what happens when Korra sees an announcement in the newspaper about Mako and Asami's wedding?
I do not own anything associated with Legend of Korra I just borrow their character's to fill my empty life.
"So Korra, you and Mako huh?" the earth bender questioned her raising one of his thick eye brows as they sat in the gazebo that overlooked Air Temple Island. "No Bo, Mako's just my friend...you know that." Korra said in reply trying to hide the disappointment in her voice that came with the statement. "Suuuuuuuuure." he said as Korra playfully shoved him. Korra knew what her status was with the fire bender, he didn't see her as more than a friend, even though she made it clear that she liked him as more than a friend. Korra could still remember the night when she had confessed to him, and all he did in return was reject her. Korra shook it from her mind as it brought back unwanted feelings that she thought she had forgotten. "Where is Mako anyway, why didn't he come with you to visit?" It had been a couple weeks now that Mako and Bollin had been living with Asami Sato, since the equalists ruined the Pro-bending stadium. "I don't know," Bolin confessed, "lately he's been spending most of his time with Asami, it's usually just me by myself." He looked down as he spoke knowing how Korra felt about his brother. "Oh." Was all Korra could manage to get out dropping the subject. Lately whenever Mako was around things were...awkward. He never looked Korra directly in the eyes, one time her and Bolin were messing around and Bolin shoved her straight into Mako, and he just stared at her wide-eyed, then tried to stay as far away from Korra as he could. She noticed this happening a lot lately, but never thought to much of it because Mako had always treated Korra that way ever since they met, but somehow things felt different.

Korra sat in the kitchen the next morning with Tenzin's family as Pema cooked breakfast. Tenzin sat in his chair at the head of the table reading his newspaper. Korra sat in her chair watching the airbending children fight with each other. Something on the front of Tenzin's newspaper caught her eye, in bold black letters the front page read, "ASAMI SATO AND THE LEGENDARY FIRE FERRETT ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED!" Korra's jaw dropped and she couldn't believe her eyes. "Breakfast!" Pema announced as she walk in carrying a tray of food. When Pema was seated there was a knock at the door, Meelo ran to open it and in walked in Mako and Bolin. "We didn't miss breakfast did we?" Bolin asked as he eyed the table full of food. "You know you boys are always welcome for breakfast!" Pema said as she went to retrieve two more plates from the kitchen. "I'm not hungry." Korra said as she got up, grabbing Tenzin's newspaper off the table, striding out of the room. As she tried to walk out a pair of golden eyes met hers and she snapped her head down and ran towards the gazebo. Korra sat reading the article over and over. "the legendary fire ferrett and Hiroshi Sato's own, Asami to be married next week. This wedding is said to be the wedding of the century..." Korra's eyes filled with tears. "Korra?" Someone asked from behind her. She quickly pushed back the tears and turned around to find Mako standing behind her. "Korra whats wrong?" Mako said as his wild brows furrowed in concern. Rage filled her then as she shoved the newspaper to his face. "Why didn't you tell me?" Her voice was barely a whisper. Mako grabbed the paper and read the front cover. "I didn't think the announcement would be made so soon.." His voice trailed off as he looked at Korra. His gold eyes met her blue ones and he could see the pain that she was holding inside. "Korra I-" he tried to explain as he reached out to touch her. "Do you even love her?" her eyes now swimming in tears as she looked into his. "We are in the middle of a war Korra, this will be a good thing for benders and non-benders to come together." He tried to explain as he held her shoulder. "But do you love her!" Korra nearly screamed. "I don't...I don't know...she's everything I've ever wanted. She's...she just understands me." He said, searching her face for some type of understanding. "But do you love her Mako?!" Korra couldn't help the tears that now fell from her eyes, she had never felt so weak in front of another person before but Mako could always pull out the side of her that nobody ever saw. Mako looked at her trying to think of something he could say to fix it. "Answer me." Korra spit through her teeth. Mako dropped his arm and stood silent for a few seconds before looking back into the Avatar's eyes. "Yes. I love her."
