O-Ouch

Summary: Mako and Korra both get hurt after a Triple Threat raid and heal each other.

"Ouch! Korra that hurts!" Mako yelled.

"Maybe you should have thought of that before you went into a battle that wasn't yours!" Korra scolded him as she looked at all the bruises and cuts on him.

They had just gotten home from a raid from the Triple Triads. They had robbed a local store and Korra had it. But noooo, Mako just had to help and he ended up getting hurt. She had just sat him down and was looking over his cuts.

"There were too many of them for you!" He argued.

"I was fine!" She exclaimed, his arms and legs seemed to be fine but she remembered a rock being thrown into his stomach and a water whip being whipped at his back. "Take off your shirt." She said, getting a bucket of water ready.

He did as he was told and winced as he did so.

Korra turned around ready to ex-amen his body for any deep cuts or gashes, but stopped when she say his abs. She may have seen him shirtless before, but it was still mesmerizing.

Mako saw her staring at his body and smirked. "Like what you see?"

She was snapped out of her daze and grumbled, "Whatever." She walked up to him and examined his sides, he had a huge gash on his left side. It had dried up blood covering it. "Mako, this may hurt a little bit." She said as she brought up some water and as it touched the gash, it turned a glowing blue.

Mako took in a deep breath to keep himself from yelping in pain. She was right, it hurt like hell. But soon it turned to relief as the water cleaned the cut and healed the skin.

"There, that cut is done. You will still have a scar but it's healed." Korra said, putting the water back and replacing it with fresher water.

"That feels a lot better, thanks Kor." Mako said, kissing her lightly before she looked at his back. He was amazed at her healing skills, when he first met her she wasn't that good and could only heal it enough for it not to hurt until you got to a proper healer. Now she could heal it to where it looked like it was barley even there.

She found a huge bruise on his back and started to heal. He arched his back at first and then relaxed. She put the water back in the bucket and gave one last look around his body.

"I think I healed them all, does it hurt anywhere else?" She asked.

He got up and moved around and felt fine. "I feel great! Thanks Korra!" He said running over to her and giving her a big hug. He immediately let go when he felt her flinch and heard her yelp. "Are you okay?"

She looked up at him and smiled, "Of course I am!" But her voice was strained with pain. She tried to walk it off but almost fell down, Mako caught her before she hit the ground and she winced when he grabbed her. She couldn't help but let out a whimper.

"Korra!" Mako said.

Korra looked up at him sheepishly and he sat her down on the table. When he got a closer look at her he saw just how many cuts and bruises she had over her arms and face. When he touched one on her arm she pulled it away quickly.

"Why did you heal me first? I didn't need it as much as you! God damn it Korra!" He got out a wet rag and started to wipe off the blood on her arms and face. When he was done with that he examined her ankle. He knew a little about doctor stuff because one day when he and Bolin were teenagers, a doctor healed them and showed them the ways of a doctor. But only enough so that they could heal themselves if they ever got hurt on the streets. When he looked at her ankle he saw that it was sprained badly.

"You sprained it." He said, it was swollen and was turning purple. He touched it to see just how bad it was but when he touched it he was kicked in the jaw. He rubbed it gently and looked up at Korra who was trying to not laugh.

"Sorry, but you shouldn't of touched it!" She said giving him a kiss where she kicked him.

He rolled his eyes and got out his first aid kit. He found what he was looking for and rubbed it on the swollen area.

She braced herself for it to hurt but all she felt was a relaxing gel being rubbed on it. "Ou-ahhh. That feels nice. What is it?" She said looking at the tube with wide eyes.

Mako laughed, Korra looked like a little kid. "It's Sploosh, it's made for these kinds of things." He answered, wiping the gel off of his hands with the dish towel.

"How does it work?" Korra asked, looking at her ankle that was numb.

"It seeps into the skin and heals within the skin. Your ankle should be back to normal in a few hours." He shrugged as if it were no big deal.

Korra had never seen anything like this before, it worked almost as well as a healer did! "That's the coolest thing ever!" She yelled.

Mako chuckled and kissed Korra on the head. "Do you have any other injuries?" He asked.

She looked up shyly. "Yeah."

"Where is it?" Mako asked, he didn't see it anywhere on her arms or legs.

"My back." Korra said, looking at the floor shyly.

Mako realized she was self conscious of her body. "Hey, it's okay. It's only me here, you don't have to be ashamed of your body. It's not like this will be the first time I have seen you without a shirt on..." He whispered in her ear.

She looked at him and smiled, she lifted off her shirt to reveal a nasty, purplish, bluish bruise on her back.

"That's gotta hurt." Mako mumbled to himself. He got out a wet rag and dabbed it on her back lightly.

"Why aren't you using that magic gel stuff?" Korra asked through gritted teeth.

Mako laughed a little, "You mean Sploosh?"

Korra nodded.

"It only works for ankles. I know, it's weird but it's true." Mako said.

"Then how do you plan on fixing the bruise on my back, cause I can't reach it with my water bending." Korra whined.

Mako laughed, "I have a trick up my sleeve." He rubbed his hands together to create friction and then his hands were consumed it heat. He laid them on her bruise and started to rub it. Korra yelped at the sudden heat but soon relaxed. She felt all the tension from her bruise leave and it was replaced with warmth.

"Mako, that felt great! What was that?!" Korra asked as she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding.

"A true magician never reveals his secrets." Mako whispered in her ear. Korra yawned and leaned her back against his chest. She felt Mako chuckle and he picked her up and placed her softly on the bed.

"Mako." Korra said sleepily.

"Yes?" He asked, climbing in next to her.

"I love you."

"I love you too." He replied wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer.

She snuggled closer to his chest and fell asleep.
