AN: Here's one last, quick chapter before I have to go back to school tomorrow. ;m;
That afternoon, Mako and Wu had brought Hiroshi out for a walk. But as they were sitting in the park, it had started to rain. By the time the three of them got home, they were all soaked. "I think it's time we get Hiroshi into the bathtub." sighed Mako, wringing the water out of his jacket.
Wu's hair curl was sopping wet and flat, covering his face. He carefully moved it with his fingers, revealing an annoyed expression. "Why not? He's already wet."
Mako knew Wu well enough to be able to tell what he was thinking. He chuckled. "Wu, you'll dry."
"Not before I catch my death of cold. And besides, my clothes will be all wrinkled!"
"You're such a drama queen." Mako called over his shoulder as he carried the squirming baby toward the kitchen.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!"
The firebender grabbed a large mixing bowl and filled it with water. He then brought it into the bathroom, and put Hiroshi into it. The child giggled and splashed water at Mako, who grinned. "If you weren't from the Earth Kingdom, I'd say you could be a great waterbender someday."
Hiroshi responded by splashing more water at him. Mako laughed. "Hey." He splashed the baby back. "I'm a waterbender too!"
"So am I!" came Wu's voice from behind them. Mako turned around just as Wu poured a cup of water on his head. He closed his eyes as the water poured down his face, and opened them again afterward to glare at Wu.
"Hey. Don't forget, I'm also a firebender." he threatened playfully, allowing a small flame to ignite in the palm of his hand.
"Ooh! Excuse me, Mr. Firebender." Wu laughed. "Didn't mean to-"
Mako pulled Hiroshi out of the mixing bowl and threw the contents of it into Wu's face. The smile slid off of the ex-prince's face as his hair curl flopped back down. "Okay, I guess I kind of deserved that." he grumbled.
"Little bit." Mako said, smirking.
