"Hey, Korra," Kai spoke sheepishly as he rubbed the back his neck.

"Hey there Kai! It's a surprise to see you."

I walked up to him and gave him a hug. He hugged back awkwardly as I realized his face was directly in my cleavage. Shit! I am still wearing the clothes Opal lended me to sleep in! I'm not even wearing a bra. I felt my face heat up, but quickly pushed away the embarrassing thoughts. Thank La that Kai is basically family.

I released Kai and he flushed after looking at Jinora for less than a second. He was wearing the wingsuit as well. Though wearing the same suit, Jinora and Kai differ so much in the aspect of looks. Kai looks foreign in the suit, his green eyes and dark skin contrasting with the colors in his outfit. I still think he his destined for the Air Nation and he has grown to be a great bender. He has great potential. Especially because he's dating a 15-year-old airbending master. Assuming they're still together..

"I hope you don't mind I brought Kai. He has been staying with us on the island. He must have heard me wake Jinora up because he flew on over and practically begged to accompany us," Tenzin rolled his eyes.

"Hey! I heard a commotion, and I just wanted to make sure someone wasn't stealing Jinora!"

I saw Jinora blush. Yeah, they're definitely still dating. The three continued to bicker on the reason behind Kai coming on the short trip. I thought over the protectiveness in Kai's last statement. It sounded like the tone Mako used everytime he pleaded to join me on missions. I miss that. I miss something being protective over me and caring about me. Especially the way Mako did. My heart ached at the thought.

'Korra, I, I don't have any other 'girls,' and I sure as hell would never treat you that way. I love you. I have never felt this way for someone else.'

I remember our first night and the convincing words Mako had used to reassure my doubts. He seemed so sincere..but Asami told me he was just "smooth talking me into fucking him." She claimed the same thing happened to her. I have a hard time believing that. That night just felt so...real. Not to mention the sex. I pushed the thought out of my head. Spirits! Why do I always end up thinking about this?

I guess it just bothers me what Asami said. Was she just saying that because she wants me to herself? Or was she telling the truth because she wants the best for me? Then again, she could be lying to me because she's jealous of the way Mako felt for me. Everyone knew that Mako liked me more than Asami. Asami was just the attractive rich girl who showed interest in Mako. Sure, Mako went on dates with her-and apparently banged her-but he did not seem as into her as she was into him.

Bolin told me about this being true. He knows when his brother likes a girl. And he knew when Mako liked me. And the day before I took Mako to our cave, I had a talk with Bolin. I felt it was necessary to atleast see someone else's opinion on our relationship. I can remember our conversation now..

'Hey, Korra. What's going on?'

'Bolin, can we talk about something?'

'Sure, tell em what's on your mind.'

His bubbly and joking personality makes it hard to talk to him about serious things. Hopefully he'll understand this.

'Well..I was just thinking about Mako and I, and,' I looked down at my hands shyly. It's still a little awkward talking about our relationship around Bolin. Avoiding eye contact, I continued, "do you think he really loves me?' I blurted out quickly.

'Oh. Korra, he tells you he loves you doesn't he?' Bolin searched for my eyes with his.

'Yeah but, sometimes I have a hard time believing him because he was just with Asami and he didn't like me at first and he always sides with Tenzin and-'

'Korra. Mako loves you. He loves you like crazy. He has passed crazy. He just wants everything for you to work out and he wants what is best for you! Even if it makes you upset at the time.'

'Well then why does he seem to fumble between me and Asami?'

'I know this is going to be hard for you to understand, but listen. Mako has always had a hard time with commitment. He doesn't trust many people. After what has happened to our family, we both don't like the way girls affect our emotions. It makes us...out of control. Mako can't control himself when he's with you. He can't even think! I can tell how different he acts in your presence or when he talks about you. That scares him. When he's with Asami, he can just have some fun and be comfortable. That's why he goes back to her sometimes. Because it's easier. But in the end, he's not happy. He is only genuinely happy when he is with you. Even though it hurts him, he goes to Asami because he doesn't want to end up hurting you somehow because he says the wrong thing.'

I was speechless. There was a tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach as I thought these words through. Is it true? It makes so much sense..

'Even if you don't want to believe it, it's the truth Korra. Trust me.'

Thinking about Mako and his feelings for me made me reconsider about going to dinner tonight. I wanted to do something else now that I'm confident in our relationship. I think it's time to show him my room in the cave. My stomach pulled at the thought of him and I in my bed. I blushed and noticed Bolin look at me, confused.

'Wow..I never thought of it that way. Thank you, Bolin. Thank you so much.'

I stood up and hugged him, silently thanking Tui and La for the fact that I chose to talk to Bolin about this.

'Anytime, Korra,' he said as he hugged me comfortably.

I released my arms from him and headed towards the door to leave. I have something to do, well someone to do.

'Wait, Korra,' I heard Bolin call from behind me.

I wheeled myself around to face Bolin. I smiled at him and nodded slightly, signalling him to go on.

'I just wanted to say, uhm, don't tell anyone I talked to you about this, especially Mako. He acts like he doesn't have much feelings, but you have seen it and I have seen it. He wouldn't like if we both went around revealing his inner feelings,' Bolin stated in a requesting tone.

'Yeah, I understand. I know exactly what you're talking about. I won't tell anyone, my lips are sealed,' I assured Bolin. I smiled and started toward the door, once more.

'Oh, and Korra..' Bolin started to say.

I looked back and gave a small, 'hm?'

'Uh..just please, don't hurt Mako. After telling you this and after what you've found out about us and our family, I'm sure you know what we've been through. And I know you've been through a lot yourself. And after Mako and you defeated Amon, you two have been through a lot together. So please, as his brother I have to ask you this, try to understand Mako. He has a good heart, and he wants what is best for you.'

I nodded, silently punishing myself for ever doubting my relationship with Mako. I could never hurt him, now that I understand everything that's going on.

'Of course, Bolin. I promise I won't. You have my word.'
