"Quiet, or you'll awake Bolin in the next room" Mako breathed as he positioned Korra's legs between either side of his center. Korra stared up and watched as he slowly began stripping off her night pants. I guess he really can't stand for any foreplay tonight. I can't believe he doesn't even care that Bolin is in the next room. Ziiip. Korra looks forward and sees Mako has undone his zipper, releasing himself in the dark room. She instinctively reaches for it, massing what's within grasp. She lets out a breathy grin as Mako begins to shiver from the contact. He moans as he hunches over, ready to become one with her. "Wait" Korra breathes. He freezes for a moment, looking her in the eye with growing anticipation for her question. Korra really enjoys the attention, getting caught up in what she can make out to be his ever intense cinders. "D-Do you even care?" She begins, completely conscious of the space between them. Mako lets out a laugh that catches her completely off guard, sinking himself into her shoulders to speak.

"Y-yeah, of course I do ! I even brought protection this time, nicked it from Tenzin's room this morning. I thought it might be a little tight though, considering it seems were not the same size…" His voice trails off. Korra looks to her right, meeting his gaze, brushing her nose against his cheek. He leans in closer, kissing her. The warmth flows through her entire body. She feels herself pushing him closer with her bare legs, running them against the length of his torso. Mako smiles and readjusts himself further toward her.

"You've gotten used to me" he pants, his voice uneven from the motions. "Ba-barely" Korra manages to say, muffling her cries of pain into his shoulders. His eyes flick toward her as he begins to excel, completely letting go of his frustrations that day. Ka-sunk. Fuck, not now Bolin. Go back to bed. Korra averts her eyes toward the shoji screen door, trying to use her powers that be to sense the other side's occupant. Ka-sunk, Ka-sunk, Ka-sunk. Korra sighs. No mistaking it, that's definitely pacing. Definitely Bolin. Why does he do this to himself? Doesn't he realize Mako's gonna notice one of these days?

"Ahh-Mako" Korra's attention is back on the firebender, his skin tinged with red from all the motion."Mako" she exclaims more gently, Causing him to look down. "Can you be a little more gentle?" "Ah, sorry" He shyly says. The rhythms begin to slow down; Korra thinks he's trying to restrict himself a bit too much. Maybe now I should ask him, since I don't like audiences anyways.

"Mako" she starts, pulling away from him. "Yes Korra" Mako says, eyes now closed from concentration. "Do you even care…that…Bolin…is" Mako stops the motions and looks up. "He's outside?" Panic rings through his voice. He begins to get up as Korra pulls him back down. "No, No" she lies, kissing him to calm him back down. Mako's hands are at work in the darkness, Korra guesses contemplating whether to continue their endeavor. Most likely he will, they hadn't been together for a while after all. She continues again.

"Do you even care that Bolin is going to be hurt if he ever finds out?" She looks up at him, searching for an answer. "No" he says immediately, going forward towards her. Korra gasps at the sudden motion and then regains composure, though struggling with what to say next. "Do you even care that Asami is going to be hurt if she ever finds out?" Mako moves closer. "No…" he grunts. Korra shakes. "What if she already knows?" At this point Mako slams his hands hard into the wall behind them, causing an extremely loud Bshht. Korra can hear outside a ka-sunk in the distance. Good, he's finally going back into his room. He should know that floorboard by my room constantly squeaks. He gives himself away. He cannot be both a boulder and a little sneak. It just doesn't work for him.

"Korra, is that what she was going to tell you earlier before I walked in?" Mako said angrily. Fire was calming out of his palms, leaving marks on the wall above. Korra vaguely wondered how she was going to explain that to Tenzin in the morning.

"No-I…I don't know. But why are you even with her? You're just using her for her money, just like your using me for my body !" Korra heard herself yelling. Mako was quiet for a long while before quietly asking if she was going to let him finish. Korra meet his eyes, wondering why he was still aroused through all this. Unless it was another Fire thing, being turned on by arguments and violence. "No. Not unless you tell me why you're with her still. We've been at this for weeks. Why are you with her if it's not just for the money or some fascination you have?"

"Korra, please-"

"No. Tell me"

"It's out of spite, okay !"

Mako pulled himself out of Korra and rolled to the edge of the bed in one swift motion. Korra sat up, pulling the covers over her as she faced him. "Spite?" she said, total and honest confusion in her voice.

"Yes, Avatar Korra, Spite. Or should I say, Uh-Vatar". Korra's eyes opened wide in horror as she lay back onto her side, pillow cushioning her guilt. Mako was already standing up, fully clothed again. He turned to look at her, a malicious smirk drawn across his face.

"Didn't think I knew, did you Korra? Didn't think I'd find out?" "Mako I-Wait, you were with Asami at the time. Why do you even care?" Korra exclaimed, now feeling the temperature in her own body rising.

"Why do I care?" Mako says coldly, walking toward her. He pushes her onto her back again, straddling her in one motion. He leans down close to her face. "I care, Korra" he begins, lowering his mouth to her ear.

"I care because I don't want anyone else fucking my girl.

Korra just lay there motionless for a long while. She watched the moons shadow pass over the wall, inching across every hour or so. Or at least she guessed it was every hour or so. She turned over, facing away from the door. He's not coming back. He's a coward. Who gives a fuck about Tahno anyways? His private lessons weren't that great. She turned onto her back, staring at the ceiling. At least, I didn't think they weren't She quietly tells herself, letting her moist eyelids close under their weight.

Poor Korra, Mako's an angry jerk bender. I tried to clean up their er, 'meeting' scene as much as I could. The ecchi was necessary, and trust me I'm not writing one of those fics. Again could not clean it up any more without misconstruing the underlying message I'm trying to send about Mako. He seems to enjoy ignoring things at hand by pretending they don't exist. It was necessary to show a bit of just how complicated their relationship has now become. Mako gives Korra evil looks and generally treats her badly, yet stays with Asami. Also being the youthful young thing he is, he's very possessive of Korra. And he does not like Tahno or his private lessons. Will be explained in later chapters, for now lets all roll with the angsty firebender and sad Avatar. Much happier story next chapter, we'll be introduced to Bolin and his smooth lady killer lines [= Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it !
