The walk back to his room was long, but not unbearable. Mako certainly had a lot to think about. "Korra is absolutely amazing," he thought. "Also, what the fuck happened in her room?"
Mako had never been in an intimate relationship before. When Lin broke him out of prison, that was the first time he had actually kissed Asami, and it was on that same day that he realized he was in love with Korra. After all, Korra was his first kiss; They were each other's.
Mako had reached the room Tenzin assigned him to. "Bo?", Mako called out.
"Hey Mako," Bolin called drearily from his bed, voice cracking slightly.
Mako noticed that he woke his brother up. "Sorry bro. Got a minute?"
Bolin quickly recovered. "Oh. Yeah sure," he said as he rubbed his eyes. "What's up?"
"Nothing. I just have a lot on my mind." Mako fell backwards onto his bed, his broad, muscular back making a quiet thud against the feathery sheets. He cradled the back of his head with his hands as he waited for Bolin's response. The room was silent but Mako decided to go on anyway. "I've never been in a real relationship."
"Are you saying you and Asami weren't in a real relationship?" Bolin asked with the slightest annoyance in his voice.
Mako didn't notice. "No!" he answered too quickly. "Yes..." he paused, unsure. "I don't know, Bolin!" he yelled out of frustration, as the fire pent-up inside of his veins. He hesitated and took a deep breath, calming himself down. "Listen, what I'm saying is, I'm in love with Korra. And I've never felt this way with Asami. Fuck, I've never felt this way in my life."
It was quiet again. "So what is it that you want?" Bolin asked, turning on his side to look at Mako.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just asking you for advice. You've had tons of girlfriends."
Bolin smirked. He really enjoyed helping others, especially if it dealt with girls. "Well what exactly do you need my advice about?"
"Well, uh, I don't know how much of a help you would be because you've never had, um, sex but I -" Mako was cut off by Bolin's hysterics. He was laughing so hard he started to cry and fall off his bed. Mako grew annoyed but he was patient. He waited for Bolin's laughter to cease.
Bolin wiped a single tear with his finger. "Mako... You think I'm a virgin?" He chuckled.
"Uh, well -"
Bolin cut him off. "Bro, we have dozens and dozens of fan girls. We're pro-bending stars!" Mako realized that Bolin did actually have tons of different fan girls over their old apartment all the time. "Look, sorry for being such a dick," Bolin said. "It wasn't even that funny. Well, you've had sex with Asami and Korra so what exactly are you..."
"Actually," Mako stopped him. Bolin knew exactly where he was going. Mako said enough.
"Are you fucking serious!" Bolin gasped. Mako's embarrassment only grew. "In all honesty, you should, uh, get on that, Mako."
"Yeah. I'll just do that."
