Happy Birthday Korra: Part 2
Korra's P.O.V. -
I awoke from my sleep from the sound of loud giggling and running feet in the hall outside my door. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes as I yawned.
"What's with all the noise?" I said to myself stretching.
I paused as gasped softly and smiled now remembering what today was! It was my 18th birthday! It had been six days since Mako told me he was going to plan me an amazing party for me. I was totally pumped and excited for what surprises he could have possibly have in store for me. I didn't know a thing! I mean I wasn't the one to snoop around…
Well maybe I did ask Tenzin a few times about my party, but he said he didn't know anything about it. He is such a bad liar; I know Mako has him in his equation of making my party fantastic! But yet Tenzin has such a good poker face…
I jumped out of bed and smiled big, "Today is the day that I have been waiting for whole days!"
"Oh Korra good, you're awake," Ikki said, peeking through the door with a big smile. "Mako is outside waiting for you!"
"He is so handsome Korra; if he breaks up with you can I go out with him?" Jinora piped in.
"Aren't you a little young for him?" I asked, shooting Jinora a look. "And Mako and I just got together not too long ago! Why would he break up with me?"
"Age is nothing but a number Korra; I could go out with him in about eight years." Jinora began. "Plus things could change between you two."
"But Jinora, Mako would be twenty-six." Ikki said, tilting her head.
"True, although mama and daddy are sixteen years apart." Jinora said with a shrug.
"Well, first off Jinora, Mako and I are hopefully not breaking up EVER," I began. "And second, you two please tell Mako I'll meet him in ten minutes."
"Alright, will do Korra!" Ikki announced, starting to run towards the outside. "Come on Jinora!"
"I'm right behind you." Jinora replied, as she followed after her sister.
I smiled as I watched the two head for the front door, as I did something suddenly dawned on me. Neither of them said, "Happy Birthday" to me. I frowned as I closed my door and headed for my closet, maybe they forgot? Yeah! I mean they were just kids, and kids are sometimes forgetful, no matter how many times you reminded them of things! They must've forgotten. I know Mako and the others wouldn't forget!
After washing up a bit and getting dressed, I went outside to meet Mako. As Ikki and Jinora had told me, he was outside waiting patiently for me on the steps. His back was toward me...
I smiled as I took this opportunity to sneak up on the firebender and give a moosebear hug from behind. (He hated that!) I moved as quiet as a rabbitmouse, sneaking up to Mako.
I was inches away from him now and was about to pounce.
"Got'cha!" I shouted as I threw myself towards Mako.
But instead of capturing the firebender in a tight moosebear hug, I found myself in his arms being held tightly. I grunted as I looked up at Mako blushing faintly, "Hey what's the big idea?"
"You know I don't like your moosebear hugs Avatar Korra," Mako said, smirking. "Plus, you are so predictable…"
"N-no I'm not…" I said, looking away.
"Oh yes you are and on top of that, I heard you behind me."
He held me tighter as he leaned his face towards mine, I blushed deeper. I hated when he did this to me, but yet at the same time I loved it. I hated that he made me vulnerable and caused me to bend and blush under his will. I loved it though because when he did things like this… I got to be close to him…
"I am not, how could you have, and let go of me."
"Yes you are, yes I did, and why? I know you like it." He chuckled, letting go of me. "I can tell from your blushing face. "
"Did you ask me to come out here just so you could tease me?" I asked, turning my face away from him slightly.
"No, of course not… Not right now anyway..."
"Well then, what is your business with me?"
"Very important business," Mako began, the tone in his voice sounding serious. "Now, Korra we have been dating for almost eight months and well…"
He paused for a few moments as he looked down at his feet, rubbing the back of his neck a bit. I looked right at him, giving him my full and undivided attention now. My heart began to pound in my chest as I waited for him to tell what he needed to tell me. What could it be? Why was he being so quiet? Was it good or bad? Did he... Want to break up with me?!
Being as impatient a person as I was I ended up blurting out, "Please don't break up with me! Did Jinora tell you something?! I mean, I….!
"What break up with you? Korra what are you talking about?"
"Huh? Oh I-I'm, it's just Jinora… Umm… never mind." I replied, looking at him. "You were saying?"
"Um okay... Well Korra, we have been dating almost eight months," Mako began again. "And I think it's high time we try something new…"
"New?"
"Mm-hmm…."
He smiled as he reached out and took my hand in his, "I want to... go on a date with you Korra."
"A date?" I repeated as my eyes lit up with excitement. "I would love to go out on a date with you!"
"I knew you'd say yes." Mako chuckled. "Though I did have a few doubts."
"Why did you think I would say no?"
"Mm, well I thought maybe you'd be busy or not interested..."
I laughed as I held onto his hand as he led me to the steps that left the Air Temple towards the ferry dock. I followed him all until we got to the top of the steps, "Are you sure that this is okay?"
"I asked permission from Tenzin and he said it was okay for us to go to the city." Mako replied, looking over me. "Don't worry."
"Okay, all I wanted to know." I replied, as we made our way to the ferry dock. "Last thing I want is to get in trouble with him... Again."
"Yeah, he is a pretty strict guy, especially when it comes to you Miss Avatar."
"I know I'm sorry about Tenzin."
"Hey it's alright, I still love you." Mako replied, as he kissed the side of my head. "Nothing could stop me from loving you. Not even Tenzin."
"Awww… Mako…" I cooed. "You're always the charmer."
"I just don't use my charm on anyone."
Mako smiled as we stepped onto the ferry together. I smiled back, but then it dawned on me again; Mako didn't say, "Happy Birthday", to me either. There's no way he could've forgotten my birthday too. He promised me this great party.
I opened my mouth to ask him about it, but then stopped when he wrapped his arm around me and held me close to him.
"We're going to have a wonderful time today; it'll just be the two of us." Mako said to me, with a warm smile. "I'll make this the best day of your life."
"I know you will Mako." I said, laying my head on his shoulder. "But you make every day the best day of my life."
"Thank you for thinking so."
I smiled a bit more, as he laid his head on mine. But then frowned after a few moments in disappointment. I can't believe Mako… Mako had even forgotten what today. How could this be when he had promised me the best birthday ever...?
Well maybe this was part of my birthday surprise! I'm sure Mako wouldn't forget today! But… Then again maybe he did forget and thought today was just an ordinary day. How could this have happened? How could he have not remembered?
To be continued...!
A/N - OKAY FIRSTLY! I wrote this all in one evening so if there are errors pardon me for them!
