I woke up early in the morning. It was strange, because I usually was a very heavy sleeper.

I looked out the window. The raining hasn't stopped yet. I could easily hear hard water drops falling against the roof of the temple. Maybe that was the reason I couldn't sleep. We haven't any rain in the North Pole, only snowing. I just didn't get used to that weather.

And that means:

No going outside (which was very bad for me at least); No training (Well, that's not that bad) and...

Mako and his brother staying for a longer amount of time.

Spirits, thank you so much, I love you all!

I looked to my right and saw that Jinora was still sleeping.

Of course that devil is having a nice sleep after torturing me like that with her silly questions! I didn't forget about that. Oh and that also reminds me that I should earth bend her to the sky...When the raining will be over.

I felt the heat coming back to my cheeks as I recalled her question about the certain boy who could bend fire:

"Do you like Mako?"

I made a huge mistake: I panicked. I needed to stay calm. But no, I had to screw this up.

I dressed up in my usual clothing and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

After that was done, I went to the living room to see who was awake.

The first thing that my blue eyes spotted was the fire bender with crimson scarf on his neck, the accessory, that he was wearing no matter what.

He was sleepy and that was very noticeable. He was trying hard to keep his eyes opened, as he was looking in the window. He also had a hand under his chin.

Without hesitating, I sat on the couch beside him.

"Good morning, early bird." I gave him a playful punch on the shoulder.

"Good morning..." Mako muttered, yawning.

"Why are you up so early?" I questioned, putting my right leg on my left leg.

"Why does it matter?" He looked at me, with absolutely no emotions on his face, his eyes half closed.

I cocked an eyebrow at him: He sure was acting...weird. Too weird. Even weirder that Meelo, if that's even possible. But weird in no that way, weird in another way...

"Are you feeling okay?" I put my hand on his forehead, hoping that his temperature is normal.

"I am fine." Mako took my hand away and put it on the couch, his voice sleepy as ever.

"I don't think so." I shook my head, frowning a little

That guy is so stubborn sometimes. I just couldn't figure what was wrong with him.

After sitting in silence, I came to conclusion: Maybe, just maybe he missed Asami that much, so he is suffering like that.

I was about to ask him about that, but my mouth closed as soon as it opened.

I remembered our dialog from yesterday: When I asked him about his girlfriend, he seemed irritated.

So we just sat in silence. In a very awkward silence I must admit.

"Slept well?" I blurted out suddenly, scaring myself a little from that randomness.

"Yes, it's very nice to sleep in the rain." He replied, never taking his eyes from the window. "What about you?" He then asked.

"Can't agree with you..." I yawned, suddenly feeling as sleepy as him.

"I can't get used to the raining, since we don't have that weather where I was born." But then I realized that it was half of the reason. Maybe I couldn't sleep because of these stupid thoughts flooding my mind. Stupid Jinora, it was all her fault...

"It's okay." He assured me. "I didn't like rainy weather either, but then I got used to it."

I smiled a little.

"Maybe you're right." Without realizing, I put my head on his shoulder, sighing.

At first he seemed to be surprised, but then he sighed as well, relaxed as it seemed.

I then felt his own head on mine.

My heart reacted to that, and started beating faster. I think I need to see a doctor, who knows, maybe I have some serious issues with my heart that I don't know about.

Mako was so warm... He was a fire bender, maybe that's because. I don't know why I think about such things. Just deal with it, 'kay?

I could feel my eyes closing slowly, but I was trying my best to shake off the sleepiness.

I also heard Mako's soft breathing. He must of fell asleep. Aw...

But what can I do? Sleepiness can come from a person to person, like yawning I guess.

Then I gave up. I let my eyes close, as I put my hand on his shoulder. Raining wasn't bothering me now. What really mattered is...I won't say what you are expecting me to. Not happening.

Who knows how long our peaceful slumber lasted, but it ended when I've (maybe Mako too), heard voices, that belonged to a certain girls.

"Oh, Jinora, look!" I heard Ikki whispering to her elder sister, who was probably standing near her. "Don't they look cute?" She squealed.

I wasn't sleeping now but kept my eyes closed. I could tell, I was starting to blush.

Jinora chuckled.

"Masami – 0, Makorra + 1." She whispered, obviously writing that in her copybook.

It took a while, until I realized what that meant. I blushed more, when realization came to my mind.

Good thing Mako wasn't pretending like he was sleeping, unlike me.

I swear, these devils are so going to pay for that!
