Drabble Seven:
I Believe in You
Thoughts

Mako sat with his arms crossed as the night crept on, getting colder and quieter, until the only sounds he could hear were the cricket-wasps and Korra's soft breathing. She was starting to shiver, which he found rather entertaining seeing as she was from the South Pole, one of the coldest places on earth.

Mako chuckled softly as she nuzzled further into Naga's side, attempting to furrow into the Polar Bear-Dog's soft and warm fur. The angle she chose to lean at left her in a precarious position as her head kept falling forward, jerking almost violently. Mako was shocked she didn't wake herself up, although it figured she would sleep like the dead, Bolin was the same way. Taking pity on the young Avatar, Mako slid over, allowing Korra's head to rest on his shoulder.

She murmured in her sleep a small smile gracing her face as she made herself comfortable at his side.

Looking down at the girl beside him he couldn't help but wonder what spirits had brought the two of them together, I mean she was the AVATAR for Agni's sake, and he was just a street rat… sure he was an up and coming pro-bender but in the grand scheme of things he was nothing compared to her. And yet she was so… she was just… Korra. Yea, he had referred to her as Avatar Korra the first time they interacted, but now she was just Korra, just the loud, obnoxiously adorable girl who managed to weave herself into him and his brother's tight-knit life.

He had refused her help in the beginning, but now he was glad that she was here with him, helping him. He hadn't really believed in many people in his young life, (growing up orphans on the street had taught him to trust/rely/believe in no one) but something in him told him that if Korra promised to rescue Bolin, then she would. She was the Avatar, but more than that, she was Korra, a friend (his only friend really), and without really understanding why, he believed in her.

Shaking his head softly, wondering where all these thoughts were coming from he sighed, might as well try to get some sleep.

Staring out into the night he cast his eyes to the heavens, sending a silent message out into the universe, Hang on Bo, we're coming.

Resting his head gently on Korra's, his eyes slid shut and he fell into a peaceful slumber.

I never believed in fairy tales
It never got me very far
I never believed in miracles
Though sometimes I wish I could
You've made me a believer
You made me trust again
I believe in you

Yay, more Makorra fluff! I think I'll have one more fic for this episode before moving on to A Voice in the Night. I'm super pissed right now because Viacom and DirecTV aren't getting along, which means no Nick or NickToons… and I had been so looking forward to seeing Bryke talk about all the episodes… anyone know where I can find them online?

Thanks to for always reviewing!

Reviews are love y'all!
