Give your heart a break

.

(Chorus)

Cause you've been hurt before,

I can see it in your eyes.

You try to smile it away,

Some things you cant disguise.

Don't wanna break your heart,

Maybe I could ease the ache,

So let me give your heart a break.

She readjusted herself, she remembered falling asleep in a bed. Her bed? Yeah, probably...

She nuzzled whatever was next to her and used it as a full body pillow, it was warm and she loved warmth. She curled herself on, around, anything to contain the warmth, it felt so nice...

That's when she remembered a certain incident involving a bearer of warmth and she sat up panting.

Around her was a room, hers or not she didn't care at the time, she needed to cool off...

Still half conscience she walked into the bathroom, stripped, and slipped inside. Korra turned the switch and cold water sprayed down on her in jets, she sighed in pleasure, her body and mind slowly waking up.

When she began shampooing that's when she realized that the scent wasn't what she usually used...This smelled more, masculine?...It smelled good, but, not familiar...No, it was familiar, just not the smell she was used to...

Then it clicked.

Mako.

"Oh Agni!" She thought as she looked around, this was his bathroom, she had to get out. Now!

She would've but then she heard a rustling sound. Oh damn it why me?

He must still be half asleep too...She choked as she heard foot steps enter the bathroom, awfully close to the shower door...

Then it left, the footsteps died down until they had exited the room entirely, shutting the door behind it. She gasped, dried herself, then slipped on the clothes she had been wearing earlier. Now ready to leave she exited the bathroom and darted for her room, once entering she breathed.

"No...I can't...Please don't remember last nights conversation..." She begged the gods as she thought about Mako kissing her and divulging information she believed to be made up.

"Ugh...I need to face him...Or just act like nothing happened?..." She mumbled shedding her clothes and picking out a baggy top and sweat pants

Why is life so hard?...So damn frigin hard?...It's not fair at all.

Korra was thinking tensely as she walked out of her room again, confident that she could handle whatever he threw at her.

Maybe she would act like nothing had happened or, act like he had had a dream and not know what he was talking about. He would have no proof!...unless he asked Bolin or the newest jerk bender to a long line of jerk benders aka Iroh, who decided to make her do this. Ugh!

Korra sighed, and walked out of the room looking bored, hiding her anxiety under a calm and collected demeanor. She walked into the kitchen and towards the oven, it was seven thirty in the morning, yikes.

She was about to go back to her room when she saw Bolin walk in, happy and bubbly as ever she smiled.

"Hey Bo, want me to make you breakfast?" Korra asked with a smile

"Depends, what are ya making? Cause if your making sea prunes or whatever there called I want none of that." He said playfully as he walked over and slung an arm around her shoulders

"Since that's crossed off the list," She smiled and put her hands down on the table tops and thought for a moment before continuing "How about egos."

"Sounds good to me." He shrugged and opened the freezer as she grabbed the toaster, ready to toast their waffles, Bolin slipped them in and Korra hit the switch down and they waited.

"Soo...Korra..." Bolin began awkwardly "Are you like, um, i dunno...Like...With Iroh?..." He gulped as the waffles popped out and Korra had the strangest look on her face

"Why do you ask?" She asked emotionlessly, picking up the waffles and placing them on their plates as she turned and glared as she handed him his plate as she dove for the fridge and syrup

"B-Because," Damn, her glare was frightening "I thought that maybe, you two were together..." Bolin was scared she would snap at him so he raised his hands up in defense as Korra's glare on him softened and looked away

"No...I mean, I used to like him...But..." She stopped and put the syrup in the microwave, heating it up

Bolin gasped at her, he had thought but...Had Korra seriously had feelings for Iroh? If she did, then why weren't they all lovey dovey and engaged and stuff? He obviously liked her, the way they were spinning when Bolin and Mako had walked in on them made it look like they were lovers. Like a soldier had just returned home to his waiting wife and that was the reunion. Even if he did support his brother in a relationship with the girl (and himself) he had to admit, Iroh and Korra would make an extraordinary couple.

"But?...But what?" He was letting his curiousity get the best of him and not being sensitive

"Well, he was engaged at birth to some filthy rich families first born, and even if he did like me back then it wouldn't have worked. So i kind of just...Got over him. Y'know?"Korra shrugged and took a bite of her waffle, quite the refresher

"Yeah. But dude! You two would've been such a good couple.." To the point now, what was her opinion on his brother? Mako was just as good as Iroh and they would make a decent couple too

"I guess we would've been a good couple...Its one reason I'm not really good when i'm put in a romantic position...I don't understand love and...I don't want to feel it again, it hurt..." She looked away from him, her eyes downcast as she nibbled unappetizingly on her waffle

"So? So what if you got hurt the first time? Why not try again?" He asked softly as he put down his plate and hugged her

"Sorry Bo, your not my type." She teased and he grinned as she hugged him back

"I didn't mean me, and i'm guessing you know exactly who i'm talking about. Theres a boy waiting for you who has eyes for no one, not even his girl friend who happens to be pretty hott if you ask me, but you." He brought her out by the shoulders and she looked up at him in surprise

"B-Bo...I-I..." Korra stopped and her voice cracked as she lied "I don't know what your talking about. I don't know anyone who thinks of me like that." She hated lying to him, and she knew he knew she was lying but...She couldn't do it, the thought of loving someone...It made Korra get this deep pit in the base of her stomache and make her dizzy and it just...No, she didn't know anyone who fit the bill.

"Ok, i see we're playing the lying game. Well, i can tell when your lying." He shook her by the shoulders slightly

"I'm not lyng!" She blushed and put her hands on her hips and tapped her left foot

"Yes you are. You tap your left foot when your lying Kor." Bolin smirked "Now, as i was saying. I can give you a full body description if it isn't already obvious to you who it is." Bolin said seriously

"Whatever. I don't know what your talking about." She grumbled

"Tall, dark hair, kinda spikey. Gold eyes, has a short temper, very impatient when it comes to you. I'm pretty sure you two fight a lot too...Oh wait I know! He's obsessed with a red scarf!" Bolin put an index finger in the air at his perfect description of Mako

"I'm sorry who?" She said lamely eating more of her waffle, almost finishing it off

"Ugh your so stubborn!" Bolin shouted as a Iroh walked in

"Good morning Bolin, Korra." He winked at Korra coyly and she stuck her tongue out at him

"Mornin'" Boling replied eating his waffle

"So did you finally admit it to him Kor?" Iroh said suddenly as he took a sip of coffee he found in the coffee pot

Korra flinched and stood still as a statue as Bolin looked curiously at the two

"Admit what?" Bo asked

"Admit her requited love. I set her up perfectly but i bet she chickened out of it." He smirked as Bolins jaw dropped and Korra turned scarlet

"I don't know what your thinking but i have no love that is requited." She said irritably

"Who do you love Korra?" Bolin jumped her and started shaking her

"Who who who who who who who who who?"

"Mako." Iroh answered as Korra blushed even redder

"Iroh! Ass hole!" Korra trembled in embarrasment as she punched Iroh on the shoulder

"Hey i was just doing you a favor!"

"You love Mako?" Bolin smiled brightly

"S-shhut up!" Korra let her hair fall over her eyes

"He was talking all about how he was in love with you last night and i could've swore i heard you return the favor." Iroh nudged her

"I did'nt do anything! He was intoxicated with beer or wine or-or something!"

"Korra, Mako does love you. He's had this mundo crush on you since we were children." Bolin said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head

"I don't love him!"

"Last night you were talking to me about a tall dreamy fire bender boy who drove you crazy. I don't think i'm him." Iroh smirked as Korra stopped struggling and hesitantly moved and hid behind Iroh as Bolin, Iroh, and Korra saw Mako standing in the door way the whole time

"Um good morning?" Mako looked at them with a tired look as he walked in, the whole atmosphere was tense and he felt it

"How much of that did you hear?" Iroh asked bringing Korra in front of him and hugging her from behind

"Depends. How much was i supposed to hear?" He grabbed a mug and poured some coffee into it

"None of it." Said an embarrassed avatar as she hid behind the older fire benders arms, not in a romantic way but he was the only thing she could hide herself with

"...Sorry i interupted it, though i would love for you to just tell me yourself if you like me." He said nonchalantly as if last night hadn't happened. Maybe it hadn't? She had just dreamed it

"..." Korra mumbled something inaudible

"Is it just me or is everything feeling a little awkward, eh Iroh?" Bolin nudged him and Iroh nodded as he released Korra from his hug and they both darted out the room

"H-hey wait!" She exclaimed before trying to follow them, she was stopped by Mako

"Korra, I'll say it again. I love you. Why don't you believe me?" He said seriously as he lifted her chin gently so their eyes would meet

"I...I'm..." She mumbled the last part

"Your what?" He said softly, taking in everything she said with care

"I'm...Scared..." She finally said as she released a deep breath and her gulped in anticipation "I'm scared i'll just get hurt again...I don't understand h-how to feel..." She mumbled barely loud enough for him to hear and she felt herself become entangled in a deep embrace

"Korra...You know i would never hurt you. Right?" Mako felt her tense then relax enough into his hug to hug back

She nodded softly as he seperated them.

"Just let me show you the way, i'll show you. One step at a time..." He murmered as he leaned in close to her, Korra's eyes widened as she felt herself agree with him as he connected his face with hers and before she knew it, she felt herself giving in and kissing him back.
