Mako's POV
I woke up to find Korra already up. We ate breakfast and headed over to the arena. We put our gear on then headed over into the gym.
"Wanna spar?" She asked.
"Okay. But you can only use water. We're training for the Championship." I said.
"That's no fun!" she said, sticking her tongue out at me.
"Oh so you can't win without your other elements?" I challenged her.
"Oh it's on City Boy!" She said.
She threw a water whip, but I managed to move before it hit me. I threw a few flames over but she kept avoiding. We went back and forth for a while. I got spalshed a few times, but it dryed off quickly. I punched a flame at her, which her decided to redirect back at me. She then grabbed my ankle with her water whip causing me to fall. Her foot was no my chest moments later.
"You cheated. Therefore I win." I said.
"Nope. I win." She said with a smirk.
When she wasn't paying attention I grabbed her foot and she fell over. I rolled over and pinned her down. "I think I win this one." I said. Then I realized our faces were inches apart. We looked in each others eyes, then slowly closing the distance. The kiss was soft, passionate. She ran her fingers through my hair. My arms moved around her waist. The kiss seemed to last a lifetime. And I never wanted it to end. We both seemed to equally enjoy it. But it ended when the door opened. I got off of her, so it didn't look suspicious.
It was Bolin. "Hey guys! What did I miss?" he sounded excited.
I looked over at Korra. "Just some sparring. That's it." I said, smiling at Korra, who smiled back. Then I knew for sure she liked me.
"Nice! Who won?" Bolin asked.
"I think we both did." Korra said with a smile.
There was a moment of silence. Korra and I had gotten up off the floor and were standing.
"I gotta get back to the Air Temple. I'm sure Tenzin wants to train. I'll see you guys later." She smiled, then left. Leaving Bolin grinning widely at me.
"Dude! You finally kissed her! It's about time!" Bolin said excitedly.
"Wait. How did you know?" I asked.
"Oh come on. You were side by side on the floor, both of you were as red as Pabu." I was trying to hide my smile, but I failed. "And it seems like both of you enjoyed it. Well what are you waiting for! Go asked her out!" He said shoving me out the door.
I ran out of the arena, finding Korra about to get on the ferry.
"Korra!" I shouted. She turned around.
"Hey Mako." she said, still smiling.
"Umm, I was wondering, if, uhh, you want to, um, get dinner later?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck.
She smiled. "Sure. I'll see you later." She smiled again, then got on the ferry. I headed back to the arena, grinning all the way up to the attic. Because tonight, I have a date with Korra.
Okay I know this was really cheesey but it need to came at some point. Let me know how you like it and be prepared because their date is the next chapter!(:
