A/N: Hey guys. This chapter took me awhile to write but I have all ready and waiting for you guys to read. So with our further ado, chapter 2. (hey that rhymes!)

Mako had never felt like he wasn't truly at home, whether it was with his parents or on the streets with Bolin or even when he was living in the attic on top of the pro bending arena now he like he had no home, no place where he could call where he felt safe or even comfortable. Korra had gone to the Fire Nation to get married to an unnamed man, but if ex-Firelord Zuko was going the man must be from nobility, or at least be very wealthy. Maybe even wealthier then the Sato's were. Now that Hiroshi was publicly announced as an Equalist "fan", his money dwindled, leaving next to nothing for Asami. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Asami and Bolin walking up the steps laughing and talking away. Neither of them taking in their surroundings. They were perfect for each other he noticed, the way their laughs ran in perfect harmony, the way they knew what was on each other's minds, the way they could say a thousand words with just a glance in their direction. Mako saw that they were both deep in concentration only looking up when Bolin tripped on Mako's foot. Bolin howled in pain. Mako stood up and tried to apologize for accidentally tripping him over.

"Gee Mako, can't you be more careful where you place your foot? I mean I am in real pain here-"

Bolin stopped mid-sentence noting that Mako didn't look like himself. His eyes were bright red, his hair wasn't the perfect slick way he normally had it and he wasn't wearing their father's scarf. Asami saw it too.
"Sorry Bro, I'll be more careful." Without another word Mako walked inside the temple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mako staggered through the hallway. Everyone had gone to the wedding apart from Bolin, Asami, Himself and a bare few White Lotus guards. Every footstep down the hallway seemed to echo with loneliness. Without realizing, Mako had brought himself to the doorway of Korra's room, which normally bustling with life and energy was barren and gloomy. He nudged the door open and stepped inside. It was just as she left it when she walked out of his life, possibly, forever. Mako flipped through some of her books that she left on her bed and without realizing he was reading her diary.
Dear diary,

I have decided to keep a journal of my Avatar duties. I have just gotten word that I have to attend a wedding in the Fire Nation. Why? I do not know. But I am sure that I am to be wed. Everything was just working out, Asami is happy with Bolin, Lin is trying to teach me to metal bend and "see" through the earth. But Mako is even more distant to everyone, especially me. I hope he still likes me like I love him-

Mako abruptly stopped reading. A thousand thoughts ran through his mind all landing on the same one. Korra loved him! He thought back on all the gestures he tried to show her that he returned her affection, but none compared to Korra's. Mako ran out of Korra's room and down the hallway, White Lotus guards trying to flatten themselves against the walls when they could. But most got run over. Just as he was reaching the door that led outside to the bay, he ran into Bolin and Asami. Both were standing there with solemn expressions.

"Hey bro, look I'm really sorry for yelling at yo-"

"I don't really care at the moment. I have to get to the Fire Nation!" Mako interrupted. Bolin had a quizzical expression on his face, not quite understanding why. Although Asami looked elated.

"Go get her fire ferret." Asami whispered quietly in his ear "and never let go".
