Makos POV

When I'm around Korra I feel something, I don't know what but something is definitely there. More than a friendship, I know that much. I mean, I already know that she likes me, but I'm with Asami. And I don't know if that's a good thing if I feel something for Korra. Especially if what I feel for Korra is stronger than what I feel for Asami, my girlfriend.

"Hey babe." Asami greeted me, kissing my cheek.

I smiled but didn't respond, for I was too busy watching Korra practice. She was currently spinning through the gates at Air Temple Island. She hadn't mastered air bending yet, she hasn't even been able to produce air. But I believe in her, I knew she could do it.

"Anything wrong?" Asami asked, sitting down next to me. Laying her head on my shoulder.

I shook my head, not taking my eyes off of Korra.

"So, I was thinking we could go to dinner tonight?" She asked me.

I didn't even hear her.

"Mako..." She shook me.

"Hmm?"

"I asked if you wanted to go to dinner tonight..." She said, following my eyes.

I noticed her and quickly moved my eyes to face her.

"Oh um yeah sure..." I said, I didn't really want to go. But she was my girlfriend, not Korra. As much as I wanted Korra to be, I knew Asami needed me, even Korra told me that. But I needed Korra. And I was pretty sure she needed me too. More than Asami. I looked back at Korra to see that she was done with her practicing. She was getting some water and then started to walk over to us. My mood instantly perked up.

Asami sighed, "Mako. I know something is bothering you. Spill." She was no longer leaning on my shoulder, she was sitting up straight staring at me with her green eyes.

I took a deep breathe, I guess it was now or never... "Well Asami..."

She stopped me, "I know, you like Korra. I've noticed... And I'm sorry I couldn't make this work between us."

"No, Asami you shouldn't be sorry. I should be the one saying sorry. I shouldn't of lead you on, and I truly am sorry. Friends?"

She smiled up at me, a few tears in her eyes, "Friends. Now go on, go get her!"

I gave her an apologetic and grateful look. And then I got up and met Korra half way.

"Hey, I was just walking over to you guys!" She greeted me.

"Yeah I know, but I needed to talk to you, in private..." I took a deep breath and took her hand to walk her to a secluded area of the island. I needed to admit my feelings. I'm in love with Korra. Wait love? Yes you idiot! You love her!

Korras POV

When Mako took my hand I tried to contain my excitement. I was praying to god he couldn't hear my heart beating out of my chest. I could feel a blush creep onto my cheeks.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, trying to act like I didn't really care. Even though I did.

"Well... Korra..." He started but then trailed off.

"Well... Mako..." I repeated, mocking his tone.

He looked at and smiled and laughed a little.

"This is exactly why..." He said shaking his head, his smile still on his face.

"Why what?" I asked.

He looked at me in my eyes, his gaze so warm and loving.

"Why I love you." He said.

I gasped, "Y-you l-" I was cut off by his lips crashing into mine.

I wanted so bad to respond to the kiss but I couldn't. It was for Asami's sake, she needed Mako more than anything. I would be fine, besides he could just be toying with my emotions again... When he realized I wasn't responding he pulled away.

Mako's POV

I couldn't believe it, she rejected me. Well not with words but with actions. I kissed her and she didn't kiss me back! That was embarrassing... I pulled away quickly and avoided her gaze.

"I'm sorry I-I just t-thought-" I stuttered.

"Thought what?"

"I don't know. I thought maybe you loved me back." I said, looking at the ground.

"Mako... I do love you. But this-" She gestured between us "-us, just won't work..."

I was surprised by her words, I thought she hated me when she didn't kiss back! She loves me! Wait...did she say we won't work?

"What do you mean? Why?!" I asked frantically.

"Asami... she needs you. She doesn't have anyone else! I can't do this to her Mako, we can't do this to her."

I smiled, "Korra, we broke up. It was mutual, we are still friends. We aren't doing anything to her."

She looked at me with hope in her eyes. "Really?"

I caressed her cheek, "Yes really. I told you, I love you. Not her, although I did like her and still do. But I love you, I feel more for you than I ever will for her, more for you than I will for anyone else."

She looked down, "I don't know..."

"Korra, look at me. Please look at me." She slowly brought her eyes to look at mine. Her bright blue orbs were staring into my amber ones.

"What's Minnie without Mickey? What's Tigger without Pooh? What's Patrick without Spongebob? What's Juliet without Romeo? What's Daisy without Donald? What's Tarzan without Jane? What's you without me?"

When she didn't answer, I answered for her. "Nothing. Without each other we aren't anything. Together we are everything. I love you, and I know you love me. Why won't you accept that? We were meant to be. When we aren't around each other we aren't happy. When we are with each other, at least I know I am, as happy as I ever have been. You drive me crazy but I love you for it! Don't ever forget that."

She smiled and kissed me. When we pulled apart, only for the need of air, we pressed our foreheads together.

"I do love you, I guess we can be together." She smiled.

"Really?"

"Of course City boy." She answered, kissing me again.
