I do not own Legend of Korra, which is sad because I love it and good for Mako. Because if I wrote the script, Korra would have murdered him by now…

Leave a few comments, let me know what you think and if I should continue or not…there will be at least a second chapter!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Dear Bolin,

I'm writing you to inform you about the current state of the Water Tribe War. Please show this letter to Asami and Mako as well.

How have you guys been doing? I was hoping to hear some news from you when I met Tenzin and the rest, but they didn't even know about the war. Kinda funny, really. I got to tell them everything, and I like to talk, so it was okay. Still, I miss you. Driving through the night in a Sato-mobil with Asami, fighting criminals with Mako, eating noodles with Bolin...I really miss you.

The last two weeks have been exhausting. After I left Republic City to ask the Fire Lord for help I was attacked by my dearest cousins (they have serious issues) – and a dark spirit - before I even arrived at the Fire Nation. I barely survived and woke up on a beach somewhere in the ocean, without any memories...didn't even know what the Avatar was.

I was lucky, on the island were people who put me in a crystal cave with weird water...I met the very first Avatar there...well, I met him in my mind, but you know what I mean. It was my first spiritual experience. Yay. Anyways, that whole dream-like state helped my brain remembering everything. And I knew I had to go find Tenzin.

Turns out he's never been to the Spirit world...and Jinora has an amazing talent with spirits. She led me into the Spirit world where I tried to close the gate to the South Pole. Remember? The one we just recently opened? Pretty stupid move in retrospect. I managed to close the gate, but Unalaq freed Vaatu first (he's the ultimate dark spirit...I'll tell you the whole story when we meet) and kinda bonded with him...really, opening that stupid gate was plain idiotic.

Anyways, Unalaq is now on his way to attack my home and Tenzin, his family and I are coming to Republic City as fast as possible. We need help from the United Forces. And I need my friends. Soo, what do you say? Wanna help keeping the Water Tribes from destroying each other?

Take care and see you soon!

Love, Korra

Ps: Mako, I am terribly sorry for the way I reacted...I should have respected your decision. It's your job and I shouldn't have expected you to lie at the President for me. I understand now. I hope we can figure this whole mess out when the war is over and things calmed down a little. I love you.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The words seemed to swirl on the parchment. Bolin couldn't quite process what he just read. Korra made it sound like nothing had happened since she left, but she nearly died and went to the Spirit world, and fought some really evil dark spirit, and...felt guilty for the way she had treated his brother. The irony.

Korra spent her two weeks after the break up actually thinking about the whole ordeal and figuring out her own mistakes while Mako did not think about it at all. Wasn't Mako usually the thinking-guy and Korra the let's-just-do-it-without-regrets kinda girl?

Bolin was happy that Korra had decided to write him. The letter arrived on the perfect day, since Asami and Mako both came over later to discuss the latest events. Asami and Bolin had tried to find evidence for Varricks crimes but couldn't find a thing. Asami at least managed to bust Mako out of prison. The earthbender had the strong feeling that Korra was going to save the day again.

Sighing, Bolin folded the letter, put it onto the coffee table and ruffled Pabu's thick fur. "What are we gonna do, Pabu? We're the worst friends ever...not to mention Team Avatar...we really screwed up big time."

Pabu only snuggled closer to Bolins warm body. "Bolin! You home?"

The door banged open, Pabu made an offended sound and stared angrily at Mako and Asami. They held hands, smiled and seemed in a way to good mood. But they did not know about the letter yet.

"Hey guys," Bolin answered under his breath.

"Why so gloomy?" Mako launched himself onto the couch while Asami got herself a chair from the kitchen and took a seat. Bolin pointedly looked at the parchment lying in front of him.

"I got a letter. Actually, it's to all of us."

"Oh? From whom?" Asami took the letter, unfolded it and began to read. With every word, her eyes grew bigger until a regretful look crossed her face and she tossed the parchment to Mako. She did not say a word, but stared at her hands thoughtfully.

"What's with the letter and destroying moods?" Mako tried to joke, but his smile died immediately when he spotted the slightly messy handwriting he correctly identified as the current Avatar's. Bolin and Asami stared at Mako while he read the letter, both trying to figure out how he would think about the whole thing – most of all the last part.

The minutes passed and Mako had yet so say a thing, or at least blink. Asami's eyes filled with unshed tears. Her jaw clenched and she stared down at her hands again. Bolin sighed and ran his fingers through his dark hair. „We're the worst Team Avatar ever. I spent the last two weeks running around in an embarrassing outfit and you two..."

He stopped his sentence there. Asami seemed to be on the verge to tears and Mako closed his eyes guiltily, then finished his brothers sentence. "Did other stuff while Korra almost died. Several times, I think."

"We're not only an awful Team Avatar," Asami's voice almost broke, but she cleared her throat and laid her eyes on the two brothers. "We're really bad friends as well," Her eyes locked with Makos. "We all should be there when they arrive. We have to help Korra fighting this war. We promised to have her back. All of us. Together." The brothers nodded.

"Okay. I guess we can talk about Varrick later. My mind's...a little distracted right now. I'll go an make some tea for all of us." Asami stood and left the room, leaving the two brothers alone.

Bolin glanced accusingly at his older brother. He'd kept his mouth shut about what he thought of Mako and his way of treating Asami and Korra. But he will not allow Mako to break Korras heart again. "Mako...I won't tell Korra about you and Asami if you end the whole thing now. She does not have to know. I mean, it shouldn't have happened, but you know..."

"Why not? Maybe Asami and I are better off together than Korra and I," Mako seemed upset.

"You love Korra."

"I love Asami as well."

"Oh, really? That's why you left her for Korra."

"Bolin, I'm...confused, okay! It's none of your business, anyways." The earthbender only snorted and rubbed his temples.

"Of course, none of my business. It's just that my brother repeatedly breaks the hearts of two girls who are, surprisingly enough, my friends. Mako, quit the shit and start acting like a man! You want to date Asami? Fine. Then tell Korra as soon as she's back. You want to date Korra? Fine. Tell Asami. Just, for once in your life, stop being indecisive!"

Mako stood up abruptly upon hearing this, crossed his arms and stared down at his little brother. Bolin did not move, he kept glaring back and held himself back from leaping at Mako's throat. Sometimes Bolin could not stand him. "Once in my life?!"

"Yeah! You're moping around about how bad you feel, how confused you are because two girls fell for you and you don't know which one you prefer?! Seriously? I have a reason to mope around! Because I met Korra, and I liked her, from the very freaking start and you...you were a jerk towards her! All the time! I was nice, funny, made her compliments, I didn't care whether she was the Avatar or not, I liked her, I fell in love with her, I asked her out and she said yes and then you came and...you kissed her!"

Mako stopped glaring and simply looked...shocked. "Bolin, Korra kissed me!"

"But you kissed her back." Both boys jumped at the feminine voice that brought them out of their argument.

Asami leaned on the doorframe, holding a cup of tea. She had a defeated look on her face. "You were never confused. You knew exactly what you wanted. The only thing you were is a coward. And we have to tell Korra about those last days. I won't be lying, Mako. We kissed, we were kinda dating. And she will have to get over it. It's happened. We can't change a thing."

Bolin did not like where this was going. They were about to hurt Korra again. He couldn't let that happen! "No! Please, don't you see? Korra has enough on her mind already, getting over her break up with Mako but still hoping that they'll figure it out, the war, her parents, the whole Avatar thing! She doesn't need to wonder whether the guy she loves and his ex are back together or not!"

"Bolin, be reasonable for a second," Asami stepped in front of the green-eyed boy and set her cup down on the table. "Do you think Korra will be happy when she hears about it after we've fought in the war and saved the world? After days spent together? Without mentioning it?"

"No."

"See. We have to tell her."

"Tell her what? Hey Korra, you know, a few days after we broke up, Asami made a move on me?" Upon hearing Mako's angry words, the girls body tensed immensely.

"And what did you do, Mako? You approved! Judging from your make-out visits!" Asami shouted at the top of her lungs, tears leaked from her beautiful eyes and her voice broke when a sob escaped her throat. She clasped her hands over her mouth, shut her eyes tightly and tried desperately to stop her tears. Bolin laid a comforting hand on her shoulder. It only made it worse. She stuttered an excuse and ran out of the flat, the door banging shut behind her.

Mako groaned and let himself fall back onto the couch. "What a mess..."

"Yeah. Asami's right, isn't she? We have to tell Korra everything. She'll find out either way. I mean, she's the Avatar after all..."

"Bolin, being the Avatar does not make her some kind of superhuman being that knows everything."

Bolin sat down next to his brother and smiled lightly. "She is a superhuman though...her eyes glow."

Mako smiled at this. Both of them stared at the cup of tea Asami left behind until it stopped steaming. They still did not know how to welcome Korra. They only felt even more guilty for promising to be there for her – and forgetting about her as soon as she left.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Am I the only one who kept thinking - Korra leaves Republic City, those three have not heard from her, or General Iroh, or the Fire Lord in a week (I guess Korra should have arrived by then, right?), but they don't really care? They are friends, right? Concerned for each others well being?

And, wtf, Mako?! I don't know, but saying "I love you" to a girl, dating her for six months and then getting over her in a week is real jerk behaviour, even for you!

Rant over. I need more LoK. Right. Now.
