The summer heat makes the air fill their lungs think and lazy, the humidity humming off the asphalt in waves. It's like an invisible fog that grows hotter with each breath; suffocating and transforming every pore on her skin into perspiration that she is sure is making her stink like a ostrich-horse by now.

Yet, he is sitting there, leaning on Naga and clearly content; eyes closed and gaze towered the sun, soaking it up, all with a beautiful look on his face despite the beads of sweat dampening his hairline.

He looks like a Sun Spirit, the way his skin glows with the rays of sun sparkling off his tanning skin. The way the muscles in his arms flex as he stretches them behind his head, entrance her more than they should.

She hopes she doesn't look like a dying hog-monkey the way she is panting and wiping her brow. She's never felt so...moist...in all her life. Spirits, she just want's a cold shower and some leechi juice, and who's idea was it to sit in the middle of the park with no shade on a day that feels hotter than the inside of a volcano!?

"Agni, how do you guys handle this heat!? If I sweat anymore, I'll become a puddle!" She whines, trying to get her pants to stop morphing to her skin.

He cracks open an eye and smirks, "The wouldn't be good. I"m not a Waterbender-how would I bring you back home?"

She wackes him on the arm and a chuckle vibrates his throat, "I'm serious, Mako! I'm dying! Can you pretty please get me some leechi-juice? I'd love you forever!"

"Hmm...Leechi-juice," he weighs the options in his hands, "...or watch Korra become a puddle? So hard to choose. Sorry, the sun's in my eyes! I can't see the juice stand-ahhh!"

Instantly, a wisp of wind gusts in his face and sends him spiraling with his back to the ground. He looks up to see an irritated Korra twist wind around her fingers. A pout on her face says he better obey her wishes.

"Your mercilessness for those born in the South Pole shall cost you dearly, Firebender." She quips with a devilish smirk. Naga gives a little bark of agreement. "But because I am the Avatar, I will show restraint."

Reaching a hand out to help her fallen prince back up proves costly; for when hands lock, a grin spreads up his face, and down she goes on top of him, faces inches apart. His back still on the ground, their stomachs touching, and he cups her face with his hands.

"I already love you forever." he whispers to her. His breath tickles her nose and she knows this is why she loves him.

Mouths join then; lips smoothing over each other, each heart beat like a sizzle of the sun, wrapping around them in the grass. Her hair is over his face and he laughs when he almost sneezes.

"Hey, Korra?" His breath is like lilacs in the wind.

"Yes...?" She can't help but blush at how beautiful he is, just laying there underneath her. She knows she should feel embarrassed, because she is the Avatar, on top of her boyfriend in the park, and what kind of impression would that make?

His lips curl up, "Do you have any idea how hot you are?"

She can't help it, a girlish laughter comes from her. "Even for a puddle?" she asks.

"Let's find out!" is all he says.

Confusion knits her brows. She is about to question him. Do all Firebenders act this insane in the summer? But before she has time to do anything, she is hoisted on her back by one of his strong arms. She feels her body being bumped up and down as he begins to run.

"Hang on!"

"What are you doing?" She yells with excitement and slight self-consciousness.

But then she hears the unmistakable sound of water splashing and she is falling into the lake with him, his laughter vibrating throughout the park.

He emerges the surface right in front of her, hair plastered to his head. He has the most silliest grin on his face that she thought she could only ever associate on his brother. For a sad little moment, she imagines this as one of the only few times in his life where he has had the chance to act this way: free, happy, uncaring, silly, young. It makes her a little sad to think about how he normally has to act, how hard his life is and how he never normally is this way, but she is glad that she is the one who brings out this happiness.

He begins to splash water at her, and she feels her grin grow to match his.

"You're lucky I love you, you dork."
