Chapter 2: Knocking is a lost art.

It took Bolin a few minutes to recover from his forcible exit. And it took him a few more minutes for him to remember why he was on the floor in the first place. Last he remember he wanted to show Pabu's new trick to Ko-

He leapt to his feet, running down the hall, an image burned into his memory forever. He needed to tell his brother.

"MAAAAAKKOOO!"

As he ran down the hall, he barely came to a stop before bowling over Pema.

"So-sorry. " He heaved.

"What's going on, Bolin? Is everything alright?"

"Korra...Asami… KORRASAMI."

Bolin didn't wait for a reply as he bolted down the hall, a man with a mission. He burst into Mako's room, finding his brother sitting on the couch in front of a pile of reports.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAKOO! I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU."

Mako looked up from his reports. "Bolin, I am obligated to love you, but I am busy and really don't have time to see what Pabu can do now. The city was nearly wiped off the map, but people still find time to loot."

"But Pabu's new trick is ama- NO, not that! Its-"

And that's when it occurred to Bolin he really didn't know what to tell his brother, or how to. Yea, his two ex-girlfriends where now… girlfriends? How do you break news like that? Lay it down gently, or all at once?

"Uhhh… Bro, I think you should sit down for this."

"Bolin, I am sitting."

"Right." Bolin started pacing back and forth as he talked. "Alright. Okay. You remember how after Varrick and Zhu Li's wedding, Korra and Asami took that trip to the Spirit World, calling it a vacation, and didn't invite us even though we could have totally used that vacation and the Spirit World would have been totally awesome with the Korra Dragon and the not Vaatu and that one carrot guy, too?"

Mako raised an eyebrow. "Yea, so? That's why we went to Ember Island for a couple weeks."

"YEA, AND HAD THAT LIFE CHANING FIELD TRIP WITH ZUKO. WHICH WAS TOTALLY AWESOME BY THE WAY. Though we did have to cut it short because of that earthquake near Zaofu. Never understood why Toph did that…. ANYWAY, back on track. Okay, you know how ever since they came back they've pretty much been attached at the hype, Asami never going to work, Korra never doing Avatar things, always wanting to be alone, all the stealing food from each others plates, the late night Naga rides that they think we don't know about."

"Bolin… Get to the point."

Bolin scratched at the back of his head, look at his shoulder, Pabu showing his support. "Uhhhh, so I went to go show Korra Pabu's new trick, and I may have seen her and Asami… Uhhh… kissing and stuff."

Mako sighed, shaking his head. "I was kind of hoping you were going to find out for yourself. "

Bolin looked at his brother, shocked and nearly lost for words. "YOU MEAN YOU KNEW?!"

"Yea, I mean, I am a detective and all. I could… guess. I mean I wish they came out and told me, but I respect their privacy. Anyway, how did you find out?"

"I maaay have… walked, or more well, burst in on them while they were doing said… stuff. Anyway, Korra must have been pretty made seeing ash she nearly threw me through a wall. She may have been in the Avatar State, heads still a little fuzzy on that one."

"Knocking, Bolin, is something you need to learn to do. But I think its time we go talk to them. You, apologize, and I guess I'll give them my blessing."

The brothers walked out and back down the hall. Mako's head buzzing with thoughts. He wondered why they didn't just tell him. After all they had been through together, he thought that trusted him enough with that. Yea, they didn't have the greatest romantic past in the world, but still. They were friends, family even.

Before Mako knew it, they were in front of Korra's door. Mako looked over at his little brother. "Watch and learn, Bolin, this is how you do it."

And he knocked on the door.

"Korra, mind if we talk for a moment."

"… I'm coming!"

"Phrasing." Bolin said, to nobody in particular.

A couple minutes went by and nobody came to the door. A few more went by and Mako decided that he might as well just go in, and opened the door.

What he found wasn't what he expected, nor wanted. Korra had Asami pinned up against the wall, Asami with her legs around Korra's waist, her hands held above her head, and Korra's face buried in the arch of Asami's neck.

"Oh."

That's all Mako got out before he completely seized and fell back, his younger brother too fixated on what was in front of him to care about catching him. Korra looked up just in time to see Mako fall, and looked up at Asami.

"Huh, I really thought that would be funnier."

A/N: Alright. This chapter is finally done. For about the fifth time. This really didn't want to be published. Like at all. I wrote the draft on my laptop, and the autosave didn't autosave and the laptop decided I needed to restart and update because it doesn't care what I want. I wrote this on my tablet, and something got corrupted along the way and I had to factory reset that, too. I wrote this on my work computer and the autosave saved one draft but not the final one, and the power went out and my back up battery didn't work. I actually gave up at one point and just said chapter one was a one shot. But I really wanted to write chapter 3 so I needed to get chapter 2 out of the way. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it.
