Her bag was gone. Mako sat on the floor where it had been for the past month and a half. Had it really been that long since they'd got together?
"I'm sorry bro. Maybe if we find her in time we can convince her to stay."
"Yeah maybe… wait stay? What do you mean stay?" Mako looked up at Bolin confused and Bo looked up at the ceiling avoiding eye contact.
"well…you know…if you were the avatar and the city just had normal street gang stuff to do now instead of world riots against benders then the smart thing to do would…" he paused and looked at Mako sadly. "…it would probably be smart for her to leave Mako and take care of other matters like in the Fire Nation or…"
"No! Korra wouldn't leave without saying goodbye! She wouldn't! She loves me!" Mako said frantically getting up from his spot and searching the room.
"I know but Mako from the things you sa..."
"She wouldn't leave me Bolin!" he started throwing stuff everywhere. Pillows flew across the room, blankets followed, at one point he was half under the bed throwing out old shoe boxes and lost socks.
"What are you doing Mako?" Bolin finally said after watching his brother destroy his room.
"S-she had to have left something! Everybody leaves something when you spend a long time somewhere! She forgot something and I'm going to find it and keep it so when she comes back she'll HAVE to ask me for it!" He grinned manically at his plan and kept destroying the room in a frantic sweep.
Bolin just shook his head. "Try the bathroom. Girls always leave stuff in the bathroom."
Mako looked at Bolin incredulously but then ran to the bathroom. "Her shampoo! She left her Shampoo! She has to come back for her shampoo right!? S-she wouldn't just…just you know…buy a new one."
Bolin watched him physically deflate and took pity on him. Pushing Mako aside he walked into the bathroom and looked around. In the bathroom window by the sink sat a piece of jewelry. Bolin picked it up and handed it to Mako, who dropped the shampoo bottle and took it from Bolin.
"This is her ankle bracelet…" Mako said holding it like it would shatter if he held it wrong.
"Is that something she would come back for or should I keep looking?" Bolin said completely unfazed. "Personally I didn't even know she wore an ankle bracelet so I doubt it's that special so maybe we should…"
"NO! It's perfect! She'll come back for this. It's special!" He didn't know why it was but he knew she'd come back for it. She had too. His sanity was depending on it. He walked out and sat on the end of the bed staring at it. Why'd she take it off? She never took it off. Thank god she had, now she'd HAVE to come back.
"Well IM going to Asami's Mako, if you're sure you can handle yourself from here. Promise me I won't come home with your head in the oven?" Bolin looked at Mako and Mako smiled a half crazed grin still looking at the bracelet. Bolin looked skeptical for a minute and then shrugged it off. He couldn't deal with Mako's weirdness anymore this morning. He grabbed his coat and out the door he went.
"Shit!" she said tossing the sheets around the bed. She hadn't slept for a second all night and now in the mess of tangled blankets she couldn't find her ankle bracelet. She'd been changing out of her sweats and into some pants when she'd noticed it wasn't there. A realization struck her and she sat down quickly on the bed. "It's in the window sill." She said to herself thinking back and put her head in her hands. She'd taken it off before cleaning the bathroom. The harsh chemicals would have ruined it if anything had splashed up when cleaning the shower. With Bolin freaking out about the shirt and with Mako going off on her she'd forgot to put it back on.
She got up and finished packing. It was 6:30 in the morning and with any luck she could get to Mako's by 7. He wouldn't be awake and they wouldn't have to have that awkward conversation. She could leave the apartment key on the counter and be out the door with her bracelet before either one of the boys knew she was even there.
She grabbed her bag and fixed the sheets on the bed before walking down the stairs to Asami's kitchen. She could her Asami talking loudly and giving slight orders to get things done and Korra smiled knowing she was having people cook her breakfast. Asami was a horrible cook and she knew it. She walked in and Asami looked up from her chair at the table. The servants hustling but smiling in there early morning tasks.
"You're up early! And you look terrible. Did you sleep at all last night?" Asami took in Korra's still pink face from crying and the dark circles under her eyes. She looked kind of pale too with no hint of the warm bright tan she always sported.
"Yeah I'm fine 'sami. Thanks for letting me stay here last night. I needed this." Korra smiled tiredly and hugged her.
Asami smiled more worriedly and held Korra so she could look at her face. "Listen to me. If you need ANYTHING…EVER… just come get me. You know I love you Kor. Are you sure you don't want to stay for breakfast? Maybe another day or two?"
Korra smiled, she knew that was coming. "No Asami I don't want to stay and whiteness you and Bo in a lip lock every night…" she laughed as Asami's eyes widened with false denial but her grin gave her away. "…and no thanks I'm not really hungry yet. I'll get something later."
Asami kept grinning and walked Korra to the door. "Anytime you need anything girl, Bolin or not I'll kick him out and me and you can talk if you need me."
"Thanks again Asami!" Korra yelled back as she walked down the driveway.
"NO PROBL…HEY WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING ANYWAY? DO YOU NEED A RIDE?" Korra was almost already gone and didn't hear her and suddenly Asami got worried. Where was she going? Air Temple Island she said last night but was that still the plan? She shrugged it off and closed the door waiting on her breakfast to be done before pondering the Korra and Mako situation again. She figured if Korra was going somewhere very far away she'd have said goodbye for real and she knew Korra wasn't done with Mako one way or another yet.
