Day 5...

"K-Korra?..." A voice spoke softly, the door opened slightly more as a masculine hand creaked the door open wider, a polar bear dog standing before him looking down in a somewhat curious gaze

"Naga..." The boy spoke, he reached up and petted the dogs soft fur, it had the feeling of silk on her underbelly with harder, rougher fur on the top of her pelt

Mako stopped, then looked down, at first sight you could tell he was a broken man. His hair was ruffled, his eyes were red and puffy from tears, and his cheeks a soft pink. His skin was clammy and a little above normal temperatures for a human body, being a fire bender he didn't even notice the change. Korra, Korra, Korra...He had to fix things with Korra, the girl who had walked in on Asami being drunk and merely not being able to tell one brother from the next. He wasn't doing anything to the heiress, nor even considering the thought for a moment. He just wished he could take back Korra seeing that terrible scene, Korra, the source of his current pain. Yet, the only one who could make him feel truly happy and nonmakoish, a man that was content with who he was and who he was with.

"Korra..." He placed his hands on the ground and boosted himself up on to his legs, the shift in weight made him dizzy but he could care less about a slight blur in his vision, he just wanted to see her.

Walking over to her bedside he noted just how dirty her room currently was, no effort of cleaning for so long left her room dirty and messy. With clothes in heaps of piles and a pile of...food in the middle of the room?...But she, she was worst of all, her hair lay in strands messily on her skin, her eyes lacked their usual bright happy, bubbly passion, replaced by a wiser grey blue, and her breathing was slow and hitched.

"Korra...Is that you?..." Mako asked, feeling stupid at even asking but having the need to check to see if that indeed was the avatar

"Who else hothead?" She attempted weakly, her voice dull and soft like a whisper as she turned her head to face him...No anger? There was something seriously wrong going on If she wasn't already pushing him away, she was acting like nothing had happened.

"No one...Listen about earlier..." He began, resisting the urge to lean and pick her up in a hug, his hand reached out to touch her. At contact his hand felt an icy shiver run up his arm and tingle his body, she was freezing, why was she not warming herself dammit, she was a fire bender too!

"Shh...It's ok...If you still like her then...Go ahead..." Her voice held an inner struggle, trying to mask the pain and heartbreak she was saying in that small sentence

"How can you say that?" He asked quietly

"Well obviously I was just a side attract-"

"Korra shut up!" This got her attention, the avatar looked up at him with a confused, hurt gaze as their eyes finnally met

"M-Mako?..."

"How can you say that when...When you just saw that? It's ludacris! We weren't doing anything Korra she was drunk and didn't know what the hell she was doing! But you think I would give you up...No...No! I-I love you to much for that!" Mako brought her up and hugged the surprised avatar, a look of hope flashed in her eyes before it was replaced by hate

"How can YOU say that to me? After seeing that, you could've made her get out...But...You didn't! Don't play with my feelings Mako!" Korra half shouted, trying to shove her way out of his hug

"I won't do it Mako, you've lost my trust...I don't like being used!..." She blinked back the water that was now ever present, surprising her he merely chanted in a soft mumble

"I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry Korra...I'm sorry..." His breath tickled her ear as she soft in her effort to escape him, she merely whimpered before hugging him back as she cried into his chest

"It's too much Mako...Too much f-for me!...I can't do it..." She sobbed as the fire bender pet her hair soothingly, rubbing her back as she warmed his skin. He would warm her up, slowly but enough to bring back the shine in her skin, maybe even the sparkle in her eyes

"Shh Shh...Korra...I swear we weren't doing anything...Korra...Shh..." He whispered before collapsing with her on her bed, tugging the blanket out from under them and onto them, he allowed himself to untense from the tension of the whole situation

"M-m...Mako..." She choked, curling up to him, she closed her eyes and gave a soft kiss on his lips before hiding herself under the blanket, pink cheeked and still cold

"Korra..." His voice drifted ,embarrassment flooding it as he curled himself to shape with her body

"I love you...No matter what happens, even if you hate me with every shred of your being, I won't ever stop loving you...Not the avatar Korra, but the girl I've grown to care for and love, the one whose changed me for the better..." his lips grazed her forehead and his hand laced her waist

Naga sighed in contentment, she knew the boy would make her master happy...Or she guessed anyway, but her guess had been correct. The boy had made Korra happy, and Naga swore to herself that she would one day return the favor to the boy fire bender. Who had once smelt of water and coal now smelled of cinnamon and smoke, a lovely combination that Naga happily grew fond of quickly. She stood, and trotted to a spot in Korra's room and laid herself sprawled out. Contenment, the dog was pleased that everything had worked out in the end, sort of...She still didn't understand why her master was so sad and not as cheerful as usual but that didn't matter now that she was back to her old self again. Sort of...

She heard the fire bender rustle something, and she heard an adjustment of weight on the bed, as well as a soft snore erupting quietly from the avatar. Naga rested her head on her paws, she had saved something today, and the polar bear dog knew whatever it was she saved...It was important, maybe not to her, but to them...Important enough for Korra to cry and the boy to as well...But now it was done, fixed, over. Naga would make sure it never happened again...But first she'de have to help clean up this mess that was the avatar's bedroom.

She cringed.
