I know this one is late too.

"Okay guys, I'm here" Korra said as she entered the room. Her hair was down and she was wearing the same clothes as always, but Mako couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was. She sat down next to him, moving Meelo to her lap. All he could do was stare at her. "She's so beautiful" he thought and he could feel his face going red. Thankfully an Air Acolyte came into the room and said dinner was ready with a bow of the head.
They all made their way into the dining room. He looked over at his brother , who sat inbetween Meelo and Ikki. Korra sat next to him and Mako found himself directly across from Meelo. He was still staring Mako down.
"Does this kid hate me or something?" Mako asked Korra quietly.
She laughed. "Meelo does some pretty weird things sometimes. Just ignore him."
The night went on. Mako was talking and laughing with Korra. He realized he and Korra had grown apart in the time he had been with Asami. Except for a few fights and the kiss they rarely ever talked. Had Mako been the one distancing himself? Every time he was with Asami he talked about Korra. Then a thought occurred to him. When they first got there Ikki had rattled off a bunch of questions, he had only caught a few. One of them was "Are you the guy she talks about?" He involuntarily smiled. Korra had been talking about him too.
She saw him smile.
"What makes you so happy, city boy?"
"Oh um… I was just thinking you should wear your hair down more often, it looks nice. And I am really happy I came tonight."
She blushed. "Thanks. And I'm glad you came too." She had a shy smile on her face. Mako got a weird feeling. It was nice but weird. Seeing her blush and the way she said that to him, looking into his eyes. This was a feeling he never got with Asami. Was it love? He couldn't tell.
After a while Korra excused herself outside. Bolin was having a debate on what tasted better, sea prunes or ocean kumquats (both of which tasted the same to Mako). Meelo was sitting on his father's shoulders, and pulling his ears, while Tenzin talked to Pema about a council meeting the next day. And Jinora, was still reading a book. Mako decided no one would miss him and left to find Korra. Bolin watched him leave, smiling because he knew where he was headed.
Mako must have walked around the entire island before he found her. There she was sitting on the docks with her pant legs rolled up and her feet dangling in the water. He thought he heard her sniffle. She turned her head slightly and said
"Hey cool guy." She was definitely crying. He went to sit next to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked already knowing the answer.
"Nothing," she responded coldly.
"Well it's freezing out here." he took off his scarf and put it around her neck. Knowing it wouldn't keep her warm but hoping it would cheer her up. She knew the story of his scarf and started to blush. He never let anyone but her and Bolin wear it, not even Asami. Silence was all that was between them.
Conclusion next week. Then I will probably start putting up my other Makorra's.
This was originally a 15 page story in my binder. And it's not even the longest one.
Let me know if you think I should post the other one's, but they are definitely not as happy as this one.
