Narrator's Pov
"Is it really over?" Bolin asks.
Everyone is standing around an unconscious Mako laying down on the bed. Korra was able to heal everyone's injury. But Mako's injury just won't heal. His breathing is low and slow. Though the bleeding stopped, the cuts are still bright red.
This would be ok if this was the same day he got these injuries. But no, it was a three week after the fight. Three weeks Mako has been unconscious.
Only Korra has really seen him. But everyone was wondering what Bolin just asked. Is it over for good this time?
"I believe so. I don't sense anything dark in him. He gave us a real smile when he was defeated. We saw the curse break. I saw it when I was fighting the darkness in him. When it broke I saw light. And let's face it, three weeks is a sign in itself." Korra says not lifting her eyes from Mako.
"I wish he would wake up." Bolin replies.
"We all do." Asami says.
"Come on guys let's let Korra be by herself." Opal says noticing Korra's silent plead to be alone.
They all nod and leave.
Korra stares at Mako. His features seem so much softer now. His dark hair covers his closed eyes partially. His slow breathing worries Korra. It's like he'll never wake up. She started lose hope that he ever would.
"Hi Mako, it's me Korra your girlfriend." Korra says.
She once read that unconscious people can still hear the outside world. It doesn't hurt to try.
"It's kinda weird seeing you like this. It seems just like yesterday I was fangirling over probending. I remember the day we met. It was the day my life really changed." Korra recalls.
"That day I was so excited that you guys won but then I met you and you were so rude. I'll never forget what you said when you found out who I am. You said, "You're the avatar and I'm an idiot." Both are still true." Korra chuckles.
"I became a fire ferret the next game I came to. Because of that I learned how to move like the wind. Air bending training became easier. After I helped you look for Bolin, you guys helped me out with a lot of stuff. Even after you started dating Asami you still had time for me. You made team Avatar along with the others." Korra continues.
"When I captured by Tarrlok you went to look for me. You took care of me. When the city was under attack you did undercover with me. You went with me to face Amon even though you could've lost your bending. You saved me from Amon. But the happiest moment was when you told me you loved me." Korra says.
"When we were dating I felt on air. Even after we broke up I felt safe around you. You always helped me. You always saved me. When I saw you after three years I felt so happy to hug you again. I loved being in your arms. I still do. I love your smile. I love that you're aloof. I love that you're caring and mature but can play around. I love you." Korra says.
"And I miss you. I want to hear your voice again. You're not the monster that was controlling you. You are so much better. I miss you so much. I wish you would just wake up." Korra states.
With one tear rolling from her eye, Korra starts to cry. She holds his hand and brings it closer to her.
"I miss you." Korra cries.
Korra continues to cry. But her crying is cut short when she feels something stroking her hand softly.
She looks up to see Mako's thumb stroking her hand. She looks to his face and sees his eyes fluttering open.
"Hey." Mako says softly.
Korra hugs him relieved that he is finally awake.
"I missed you too." He says.
"You're finally awake. Three weeks and you're finally up. Thank the spirits." Korra says.
The others come into the room at sudden noise.
"Korra what's wro-" Asami doesn't finish her sentence.
She stops when she sees Korra hugging a conscious Mako. Everyone stares in surprise that Mako is awake.
Mako can see the discomfort in their eyes. He doesn't blame them, he was horrible. He hurt them all and deceived them.
Then Mako does something he hasn't done in so many years.
He cries.
"I was so horrible. I hurt everyone and it's because I was too weak to break out of that stupid curse and protect you guys. I'm a monster." Mako cries.
Everyone is shocked to see Mako, the very Mako that rarely smiled and showed little emotion, cry.
Even Bolin has never seen his brother cry. Not even when their parents died. Sure he screamed for them but he didn't cry. A tear the most was seen but that's it. But here he is now crying.
Bolin goes over to his brother and Korra let's go Mako. Bolin looks at his brother and hugs him. Bolin starts crying with him.
"It's ok bro. It wasn't your fault. I forgive you. I'm just glad you're back." Bolin says.
Soon all the girls start crying. Meelo and Kai try to not cry. But a few tears escape. Everyone comes in for a group hug.
"I'll make it up to everyone. I promise. I promise." Mako says.
Epilogue (It's going to be very short. Not much to say.)
Soon everything got back on track. Mako's injuries healed and he did his hardest to make it up for his previous actions. Especially to Opal. He hurt her the most probably.
Korra and him are still going on strong dating. It's like their love for each other grew.
Everyone did their best to make Mako feel better for what happened. They all forgave him. They are all just glad to have their friend back.
Everything is fine. Once the Desires and the Lies were done and over with life was back to normal.
Or is it?
Nah just kidding, everything is normal and good. There is nothing our heroes can't overcome.
And that is the end of Lies. Thank you all for reading. Please review. I really like reviews. Thanks again.
