"I was trying to fly but I couldn't find wings, but you came along and you changed everything. You lift my feet off the ground, you spin me around, you make me Crazier Crazier. Feels like I'm falling, and I'm lost in your eyes. You make me Crazier, Crazier."-Taylor Swift, Crazier.

Chapter 7

Iroh would never seem like the boy to be gay. He never really thought he was, he had always enjoyed girls, but he never felt anything real for them. The day he realized it was when he got the call from the hospital. About Mako. All Iroh could think about was losing him, and it almost killed him. That was when he realized he felt more than brotherly to Mako. The only reason he hated Korra was because of the fact that she broke Mako's heart. As long as Mako was happy so was Iroh. Iroh knew that he and Mako could never be a idem, it had always been Mako and Korra. And Iroh knew that that would never change. Though he wished it would.

Mako was staring at Korra not paying attention to what Tahno was saying to the boys. He was caught up in her. He remembered something from a long time ago...

Flashback

Mako was sitting on his couch waiting for the sun to go down. He was eleven at the time. Bolin was with Tahno and Iroh. Mako sat home alone. That was one of Mako's biggest fears, it seemed strange to everyone, but Mako hated to be alone. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Mako sprang off the sofa and opened the door to Korra, who to him, was always beautiful. She wore her usual t-shirt and jeans look.

"You ready?" she asked bouncing up and down.

"I'm always ready." He said smiling. It was Republic City's annual firework show in the park. Bolin was probably already there with the boys, but Mako wanted to wait for Korra to get home. Taking his hand they ran through the shortcut in the woods they'd discovered a few years ago. There were booths and tents set up with food and knick-knacks in the center of the park. Everyone was there, kids were running around with glow bracelets, parents were talking. But all the older kids were going to the hill. It was the best spot to see the fireworks, and for the high schooler's it was good to make out there. Korra and Mako came crashing through the trees near the hill. They found a spot all to themselves and sat down. They sat in silence for a while watching the sun creep past the mountains.

"How come you waited for me?" Korra asked breaking Mako's concentration on the sky.

"Because I wanted too." Mako said. He felt a blush burn on his neck. Korra smiled. Suddenly hands came crashing on their shoulders. They both jumped then saw it was Bolin and the boys.

"Finally you guys are here! We went to the..." Bolin Tahno and Iroh started to talk all at once, but neither Mako nor Korra were paying attention. They were both giving each other the look. The one that said 'every time'. The boys chatted for a while longer but then Tahno spotted girls and they all ran. The sun had set and now everyone waited with baited breath. Without thought Mako grabbed Korra's hand and intertwined their fingers. They both smiled and blushed. Then the fireworks began. They were lost in the colors and sounds. Then when the finale started thats when Mako did it. He leaned and kissed Korra.

Mako snapped out of his memory. He glared out the window, he hated when his head got away like that. Memories always stung his eyes and burned his heart. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't escape them. The bus ride dragged on as Mako stared out the window at the grey light that covered the world. He had no classes with her today. Mako didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Finally the bus pulled up to the school. Everyone stood, but of course, Mako got shoved right behind Korra. He shut his eyes so he wouldn't scream. Korra hid her face behind her hair so he wouldn't see the tears. He thought she was trying to ignore him.

Mako's first half of his day went on forever it seemed. The boys raised hell in all the classes. The teachers just dealt with it while the whole class laughed. But Mako wasn't smiling. He went into the lunch room and grabbed an apple. He passed by Korra and Asami's lunch table. All the pretty, popular, mean girls sat there. Korra and Asami weren't mean but the others were. Mako pushed the back lunch door open to find Iroh. Where's Tahno? Mako thought.

"Where's Tahno?" Mako finally said aloud.

"Girls. They distracted him." Iroh said taking a drag off his cigarette. Mako nodded. The girls always distracted him. They stood in silence for a while before Iroh spoke.

"What's with you today?"

"Nothing. Just tired after yesterday." Mako said remembering his father.

"How bad was it." Iroh asked knowing what he meant.

"It's been worse before, but, that was scary." Mako said. He was always honest with Iroh. Iroh nodded. He put out his cigarette and motioned for them to go inside. They walked through the lunch room and found Tahno. Shit. Mako thought. Tahno was sitting with Korra and Asami. Mako took a deep breath and kept following Iroh. Korra turned her head. Asami and Korra were best girlfriends,and Asami knew everything. Asami got and idea.

"Mako I got a question for you." she said over Iroh's head. Mako cocked his head to the side. Asami motioned for him to come. He did.

"What's your question?" Mako asked in a groan sort of way. Asami stood and grabbed his arm leading him away from the table.

"Look, your brother and I were going to the movies and I was wondering if you and Korra would go with us." Mako stared at her.

"But Korra and I aren't together." Even Mako could hear the sadness in his voice.

"So? You're still friends. Aren't you?" Asami said raising her eyebrows. Mako squinted in suspicion. He knew she knew about the band-aid thing. Asami could tell she won by his expression. Mako growled at himself.

"Only if it is okay with Korra." he said making sure no one could hear him but Asami.

"You have to ask her yourself." Asami said with a big smile. Mako's eyes widened and his neck and face went red. He looked at Korra who was already staring. He and Korra had never been on a date before. Sure they had spent all their time with each other but it was never officially a relationship. Mako swallowed what seemed to be a rock in his throat.

"Ok."Was all Mako could say. Numb, he walked over to Korra. He couldn't help but smile at the scared expression on her face. No one at the table was paying attention when Mako sat down next to Korra.

"Korra...I...umm...was just...Iwasjustwonderingifyouwantedtodoubledatewit hBolinandAsami?" Mako took a deep breath. Korra laughed and smiled at him.

"Of course."she said. Mako smiled. Finally. They were going on a date.
