Drabble Two
Brighter Than the Sun


Korra's breath caught in her throat as she stared at the young man in the center of the ring as he pulled off his helmet. He stood tall and proud, yet slightly dazed, as if he hadn't expected the final second knock out. Mr. Hat Trick, the nickname stuck in her head, it seemed appropriate after all, she'd known him all of 2 minutes and he already held her attention, affection, and adoration.

The sounds of the screaming fans all faded away as she watched him slowly crack a smile, just the subtle curve of his lips as he waved to the crowd once before taking the platform back to where she stood.

Korra watched him intently as he neared, he was radiant, there was no other word she could think of to describe him, he was beyond handsome, and while he might object to being complimented using such a typically feminine word, she couldn't help it.

His beauty was like the sun, something that was to be admired, appreciated and adored, but stare at it for too long and it could be damaging, and Korra needed to remind herself to keep her wits about her where Mako was concerned lest he burn her alive.

Bolin cheered brightly causing Mako to crack a real smile that nearly melted her then and there. The warmth from the simple gesture could be felt all the way down to her toes, and it wasn't even directed towards her! Heaven forbid he actually offer her a smile, it'd cause a heat wave from which she may never recover.

"You guys were incredible out there, especially you Mr. Hat Trick." Korra tried to keep the excitement out of her voice, not wanting him to think her a simple fangirl.

"Oh, you're still here?"

Ouch.

She had definitely been right with her initial comparison of him to the sun, while he was radiant and capable of providing that warm rush of emotions, he was also very capable of burning her. But turn about was fair play. She could see him stiffen out of the corner of her eyes as the realization of who she was sunk in, and he hung his head in embarrassment.

"You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot."

She smirked, raising a seductive eyebrow, noting how his gaze slipped to her curved lips, "Both are true."

Oh this is how it starts
Lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun
Brighter than the sun

Ok, so I need to get my muse going again, she seems to be a wondering vagabond that likes to disappear for eons at a time. So I thought I'd do another round of iPod Drabbles... My muse stuck around for my last iPod Drabble venture, so I'm hoping she'll stick with me through this.

Reviews are love guys!
