Forever and Always
Modern day AU. When Korra and Mako were 7 and 8 right before Korra moved away, they vowed to be friends forever and even get married someday. Ten years later Korra moves back to Republic City to find out that her childhood friend changed a lot. He's even dating her childhood bully Asami. Can they fulfill their promises?
Disclaimer-I do not own Legend of Korra or any characters except Aria.
Korra got through the first couple of classes and got not that much homework, which she was really happy for. She finished her physics class and headed out the door. Korra looked at her schedule and happily sighed, it was time for lunch.
She made her way through the maze of people and finally found Aria.
"Finally I found you." Korra said panting.
Aria laughed. "Sorry I had to take care of some paperwork for the newspaper.
"You ready for lunch. I'm starving." Korra said smiling.
Aria giggled and nodded.
"So this is the cafeteria. Wow. It's so much different from the one in the Fire Nation." Korra said looking around.
"Hey Korra over here." Mako called from his place on the table. Korra looked at his direction and gasped. Everyone was staring at her all the jocks and cheerleaders.
"Just don't make eye contact with the soul eaters and you'll make it through lunch." Aria said walking casually to their table.
Korra chuckled. "Soul eaters?"
Aria smirked. "Yeah the cheerleaders take one look at you and they make up a nickname for you. And if you're one of them they eat people's souls." Aria said whispering the last part.
Mako took Korra's hands and lead them to the table. Korra slightly blushed and took a quick glance at Asami, who was watching them like a hawk.
"Ugh Mako what are you doing?" Korra asked.
Mako smirked and turned around to face her. "Shh be quiet." Mako said as he turned back around. He led her towards a boy with dark curly hair, a pale skin tone similar to Mako's, and a buff body. Mako tapped the boy's should.
"Hey Bo I have someone I want you to meet." Mako said as he turned around to face Korra and winked.
Bolin sighed and turned around from his seat. "Mako I swear if it's another one of those crazy girls from the drama club again I'm gonna- Korra!" Bolin exclaimed as he jumped out of his seat and embraced the dark skinned beauty. Korra laughed as she patted Bolin's back.
"Nice to see you too Bo." Korra said as Bolin put her down. Bolin's mouth was agape.
"Gosh Korra I almost didn't recognize you without the braces and glasses." Bolin said.
Korra frowned. "So I've been told."
Bolin pouted at his friend's gloomy expression. "Hey since your back we can finally do our handshake. We tried to teach Asami, but she laughed at me and slapped me across the face." Bolin said. Korra laughed, but then frowned. Wait so let me get this straight. They tried to replace me with Asami?
Korra smiled. "Let's do it." Together Mako, Bolin, and Korra formed a triangle and did their three-way handshake. Korra laughed at the last part, which was a fist pump.
"Gosh I missed you guys so much. You guys aren't the little chubby boys that use to play hide and go seek with me in my house anymore." Korra said as she put her arms around the two brother's neck. "So I heard you guys are pretty good at football. Am I wrong?" Korra asked releasing their necks.
Both Mako and Bolin blushed. "Well it depends on how you define the word good." Bolin said smirking. Korra pouted.
"Well I define it as someone who is skilled at something. How do you define it Bolin?" Korra asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, shut up you just got back from ten years and you're asking me questions." Bolin whined. "Hey Mako I think Asami wants you." Bolin teased making a kissy face.
Mako rolled his eyes and winked at Korra as he made his way back to Asami.
"Here Korra sit down." Bolin instructed. Korra took a seat to his right as Aria took a seat across from Korra.
"So Korra how was the Fire Nation. I here the people there are smoking." Bolin said laughing at his own pun.
"Hot, sweaty, humid, sunny, and in the winter mostly hot." Korra said plainly.
Bolin laughed and patted Korra on the back. "There's the Korra we all know and love. She's not the best with words." Bolin teased earning a smack to the back of the head by Korra.
"Hey Bo can I ask you something?" Korra asked slightly blushing.
Bolin looked up from his sandwich and smiled. "Korra my dear you already asked me a question by asking me that." Bolin said.
Korra frowned. "Whatever, but can you tell me why Mako is dating the she devil who scarred me for life?" Korra asked gesturing to the direction of Asami, who was now applying a third coat of lip gloss.
Bolin frowned. "Oh, well that's a popular story. Ever since Mako made it for football which was about five years after you left. Asami started flirting with him. Mako ignored it for two years, but then he started flirting back which led to that." Bolin gestured to Asami and Mako.
Korra looked down. "But didn't you try to stop it Bo?" Korra asked with tears coming out of the corners of her eyes.
Bolin made a small smile. "I tried, but Asami kept threatening me." Bolin said.
Korra laughed. "She threatened you? What is she gonna paint your nails in your sleep?" Korra said sarcastically and to her surprise Bolin nodded.
"What I have my manly pride." Bolin said raising his arms up defensively. Korra frowned and looked at Mako and Asami. Asami was currently snuggling into Mako's shoulder.
Bolin looked at Aria who was pointing at Korra. Bolin turned his attention to Korra who was looking at Asami with envy. Bolin smirked. "So Korra did you have any gentleman callers in the Fire Nation?" Bolin asked raising a brow.
"No all the guys there were douches." Korra said chuckling.
"So Korra are you and Mako getting married yet?" Bolin asked. Korra gasped.
"Bolin you remembered?"
"Well hell yeah. I'm still waiting for the pool for Pabu." Bolin said smiling. Korra rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Well sorry to disappoint Bo, but you might have to ask Asami for that." Korra said crossing her arms, glaring at Asami.
"Hey Korra you can still get him back. If it makes you feel any better Mako had a gigantic crush on you while we were little. I remember he'd used to say your name in his sleep." Bolin said making Korra laugh.
"Thanks Bo, but I don't think that'll help now. I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Korra said getting out of her seat. Korra walked past Asami and her posse. Korra watched from the corner of her eye as Asami whispered something to one of her friends and giggled. She ignored it and pushed open the door of the bathroom.
Korra was about to go into one of the stalls when a finger tapped her on the back. Korra raised an eyebrow and turned around. She was greeted by familiar green eyes.
"Can I help you?" Korra asked. Asami smirked and put a well manicured finger on Korra's chest. She pushed Korra back so that she was pushed back against the door of the stall.
Asami smiled devilishly. "Listen Korra I have a lot of things on my plate right now and the last thing I need is you stealing my boyfriend away from me. He's mine and only mine. So back off or I'll make sure you'll regret moving back. Are we clear?" Asami asked.
Korra glared at the prissy girl. "Crystal." Korra spat out. Asami smiled.
"Great have a nice day Korra." Asami said sashaying out as if nothing happened.
As soon as Asami left Korra pushed the door open and walked back into the cafeteria. She sat back down by Bolin and Aria.
Aria raised a brow. "Everything alright Korra?"
"You're right she's a soul eating bitch. Under that nose job and makeup is the devil in a human form." Korra hissed.
"What'd she do?" Bolin asked.
"She threatened to ruin my life because apparently I'm trying to steal Mako away from her!" Korra exclaimed.
Aria gasped. "That bitch." She said.
Bolin smirked. "Ladies you know what this means right?" He asked. Korra and Aria exchanged looks and nodded.
"This means war." Bolin said rubbing his hands together. "This is what she gets for threatening to call animal control on Pabu."
"Okay after school you guys come over my house. We'll start planning from there." Korra said.
"Do you still live in the mansion?" Bolin asked. Korra nodded.
"Umm." Aria said awkwardly. "I don't know where you live."
"Oh, yeah." Korra said. She dug through her bag and pulled out a post it sticky note and wrote down the address.
"We're taking down Asami Sato." Korra said. As if on cue the bell rung and everyone was scattered across the cafeteria.
"Hey Korra!" Mako yelled chasing after her. Korra turned around and smiled.
"Yeah?" Korra asked adjusting her bag.
"I was wondering if you would like to hang out sometime?" Mako asked slightly blushing.
Korra blushed. "Ugh yeah. How's after school tomorrow my place?" Korra asked looking into his amber eyes.
Mako smiled. "That would be nice."
"Great so tomorrow." Korra said awkwardly.
"Yep."
Korra cleared her throat as they stood there awkwardly. Korra spoke up. "Well I should get going I'll be late for class." Korra said.
Mako smiled. "Yeah see you tomorrow." Mako said waving.
Korra made sure he left. "Wahoo!" She said as she fist pumped the air.
(After school.)
Korra drove her moped home and got in the house. Her mom was in the kitchen chopping some vegetables and her dad was in his private study doing some paperwork.
"Hey mom." Korra greeted sitting on the countertop.
Senna looked up from the cutting board and smiled. "Hi sweetie. How was your first day?"
Korra smiled. "Great, I saw Mako and Bolin." Korra said.
Senna smiled. "Well I haven't seen those two in ages. How are they?"
Korra faked a smile. "Well Bolin's is well Bolin, but Mako let's just say he's changed a lot." Korra said.
Senna put down the knife and looked at her daughter. "Let me guess he's hot."
Korra blushed. "Mom don't ever say the word 'hot' again. And yes he is, but he's dating Asami Sato." Korra said saying Asami's name with venom. Senna frowned.
"Wait you're not talking about that Sato girl are you? The one who would always make you cry?" Senna asked and Korra nodded. "Oh, sweetie it's ok. One day Mako will realize he's dating the wrong girl."
"Thanks mom and Bolin and my friend Aria are coming over. Do you think you could make some snacks?" Korra asked puppy dogged eying her mother.
Senna sighed. "Okay, but make sure you get it through with you're father. He won't be too thrilled if he found out there's a boy in the house." Senna said. Korra laughed.
"Already on it." Korra said. She walked to her dad's study and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A voice said from the inside.
"Hey dad." Korra said. Tonraq looked up from his paper work and smiled at his daughter.
"Hey kiddo. How was school?" Tonraq asked.
"Good. And I'm having some friends over and could you please not bother me or embarrass me?" Korra pleaded.
Tonraq chuckled. "It depends on who's coming over."
"Bolin and my new friend Aria."
"Wait the same Bolin who I found hiding in the drying machine on Halloween?" Tonraq asked.
Korra nodded and chuckled at the memory of Bolin hiding in the drying machine when her father scared him, wearing a scary mask.
"Oh well that's good that he's coming over , but what about that Mako kid? The one that broods a lot."
Korra glared at her dad. "Well he's probably too busy with football practice and I bet Asami's probably cheering the hell out of him right now." Korra said in a harsh tone.
Tonraq gasped. "Wait not that Sato girl again. The one that used to make fun of your braces and glasses?"
"Yes! I already know that I was very unattractive back then so everyone can stop reminding me." Korra said. Tonraq sighed.
"Korra I could tell ever since you were you two were little. You and Mako were very close and don't let that Sato girl prove you wrong. And when you back up a Sinclair up against the corner. What do we do?" Tonraq asked.
"We fight back." Korra said lazily.
"That a girl. Now you have fun with you're friends and not that kind of fun." Tonraq yelled.
"Eww dad. Gross."
Korra went upstairs to her room and shut the door. She really loved her room. It was in the front and center of the whole mansion. Her favorite part of her room was the doors that lead to the balcony. She remembered that she, Mako, and Bolin would used to tell each other ghost stories there when they had sleepovers.
Korra sighed and walked on the wooden floor to her white desk. She sat on her chair and typed on her laptop.
How to Ruin Asami Sato.
"Korra your friends are here." Senna yelled.
"Send them up." She yelled back.
"She's on the second door to your right." Senna instructed. The two teens nodded and climbed up the staircase.
"Hey Kor." Bolin said slightly waving.
"Hi Korra." Aria greeted.
"Hey guys come in." Korra said.
Aria looked in awe at the other girl's room. "Wow Korra you're room is beautiful." Aria said.
Korra laughed. "Thanks."
"Just as I remembered." Bolin said looking at the sky blue walls.
"Are these all the trophies and medals you won?" Aria asked looking at the glass trophy case.
"Yep."
"You must be like a prodigy or something."
Korra chuckled. "Okay guys back to work. Come here." Korra said sitting on the wooden floor. The other two followed her actions. Korra got up and went to her desk and took out a needle from the desk.
"Okay you guys have to vow that you guys will do or help me in anyway to get Mako back to us and away from Asami right?" Korra asked. The two nodded.
"Okay now Bolin repeat after me. I Bolin Mitchell vow to do or help Korra in any way to get Mako back to us and away from Asami. And I will help with anything that concerns Mako."
"Korra do I have to?" Bolin whined.
"Shit! Just say it already!" Korra yelled.
Bolin put out his hands defensively. "Okay ok. Gosh. I Bolin Mitchell vow to do or help Korra in any way to get Mako back to us and away from Asami. And I will help with anything that concerns Mako."
"Okay Bolin give me your finger." Korra instructed. Bolin reluctantly gave Korra his finger. Korra pricked his finger with the needle.
"Ow. What the hell?" Bolin exclaimed.
"Oh, don't be such as wuss." Korra teased. She squeezed his finger so that a drop of blood fell on the floor. Bolin pulled his finger back and sucked it.
"Okay Aria your turn." Korra said.
"Repeat after me. I Aria Kuang vow to do or help Korra in any way to get Mako back to us and away from Asami. And I will help with anything that concerns Mako."
"I Aria Kuang vow to do or help Korra in any way to get Mako back to us and away from Asami. And I will help with anything that concerns Mako." Aria said flawlessly.
"Good now give me your finger." Aria handed Korra her finger. Korra pricked her finger and squeezed a drop of blood out.
"Now you two made a blood oath. There's no backing out of this." Korra said as she threw away the needle.
"Okay now how exactly do we get back at Asami?" Aria asked. Korra thought for a moment.
"I've got an idea. Let's watch 'Mean Girls'." Korra said.
"Mean Girls. Seriously?" Bolin said.
"What it's a classic and there are very helpful thing in that movie that we could use." Korra said.
Bolin and Aria sighed.
"I hang out with girls too much." Bolin mumbled to himself.
"Oh, shut up." Aria said shoving him.
This is gonna be a long night, Korra thought to herself.
