I feel as though I've been neglecting Makorra.


Day #28:Promise
Characters: Mako & Korra
Setting: Post Endgame

8/2/12


"I love you Mako."

"I love you too Korra."

"You promise?"

They were laying in bed, snuggled together with the silver glow of the moon pouring in through the open window. Her fingers tightened around his shirt as she asked and he kissed her on her forehead, pulling her closer.

"I promise."

The words seemed to relax her, her grip on him loosened though she didn't let go completely. She nuzzled her face into his neck with a sigh and he rested his chin on her head, keeping her wrapped up in his arms.

Her breathing became rhythmic, and he knew he should get up and go to his own room, Tenzin would not be happy if he found the teens cuddled up together in the morning. But he couldn't leave; he knew he wouldn't be able to tear himself away from her tonight.

He looked down at her, a faint smile on her lips and her eyes closed peacefully. He felt terrible that she had to even make sure he was telling the truth. He had thought that he had made his feelings perfectly clear.

He didn't just throw love around. He couldn't actually remember the last time he told someone other than Bolin that he loved them.

But looking down at her sleeping form, he knew that what he felt for her was love, and he would swear it to her every time she asked until she stopped doubting him. She shifted in her sleep, one of her eyes fluttering open sleepily, and she smiled softly at him.

"Are you watching me sleep?"

"Yes."

She blushed. "Go to bed Mako." She kissed him gently on the lips before rolling over and pressing her back into his stomach, this was her favorite way to sleep. His arms snaked around her waist and he pressed his nose to her hair with a contented sigh.

Tenzin could blow all the air at him he wanted in the morning, but it would be worth it if it meant that Mako didn't have to leave Korra's bed for his own.

Mako felt as though he had only been asleep for a few minutes when he felt Korra sit bolt upright, his arm falling into her lap.

"Baby go back to sleep." He grumbled into the pillow, rolling over.

This earned his a sharp punch to the side.

"What the hell Korra?" He gripped his side, spinning around and noticing the guilty smile his girlfriend had plastered across her face.

He glanced around her and saw a very angry Airbending master with his arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed.

"Goodmorning Tenzin." He rubbed the back oh his neck and felt his face form into the same guilty one Korra was wearing.
