Korra woke up the next morning, her head pounding; a familiar smell surrounded her, the smell of fire and smoke. She slowly sat up as pain shot through her, a red fabric hung from her neck and Korra smiled as she held the soft fabric in her fingers. She looked around realizing that Mako had left her while she was asleep, although she knew it shouldn't bother her it did. No Korra… she reminded herself you're done with Mako. She exhaled as she tried to stand, it took a few tries before she could steady herself. She leaned against the walls for support as she walked towards the kitchen. "Meelo! Will you sit down!" she heard Tenzin's voice float through the hallway. She made her way into the kitchen to find everyone sitting around the table. She leaned on the door frame to keep herself up. Mako and Asami's back were towards her and she saw Mako's arm around Asami's waist, for one moment Korra forgot who Mako had chosen, she clenched the red fabric in her hand. "Korra!" Ikki exclaimed as she jumped from her seat and ran towards the Avatar, Korra let out a little huff as the little airbender wrapped her arms around Korra's waist to hug her. Mako's head turned to see Korra standing directly behind him, his hand quickly moved from Asami's waist to sit in his lap. "Korra, what are you doing out of bed?" Tenzin looked at her disapprovingly. "Tenzin I need to talk to you-" "We can talk after you've rested." He cut her off, and Korra felt the weight of her injuries bury down on her, the room spun as she started to fall over. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her before she could hit the floor, the familiar smell of smoke surrounded her. She opened her eyes and saw the firebender who was holding her up. "C'mon Korra, I'll take you back to your room" He said as he helped her stand up. Korra looked over to see Asami's angry face, her green eyes wild, then she found Pemma's eyes who were soft an gentle reassuring Korra that she knew how much emotional pain Korra was feeling at that moment. "No, it's fine I'll go back on my own." She said as she gently pushed Mako away to lean on the wall, "oh, I found this in the hallway, you must've dropped it in the hallway." She said as she handed Mako his scarf. He looked at her puzzled, "Korra it's fine I'll take you back." He tried to convince her, she disregarded what he said, knowing that there was someone waiting for Mako to return to his seat, "Bo will you help me?" Korra said to the earthbender who was busy eating food, he looked up at her confused, he got up and made his way to Korra. Everyone could feel the tension building in the small room, Korra looked at Pema begging for her help. "oh! The baby's kicking!" Pema winked at Korra as the attention now turned from Korra to her. Korra grabbed onto Bolin and Mako stared at the two of them as they walked back to Korra's room. He returned to his seat, and Asami eyed him suspiciously.
"What was that about?" Boling questioned Korra as he helped her walk. "What do you mean?" she tried to play it off coolly. "Korra I know you better than that, what happened?" "Nothing happened Bo, I don't know what you're talking about." She tried to convince him as they entered her room, Bolin helped Korra onto her bed. "Korra why won't you just be honest with yourself Korra, I know you love him." Korra's heart burned at his words. "I know Bolin….." She said quietly as she wrapped herself under the convers. Bolin sat on the edge of her bed, "Korra why won't you just admit it to yourself?" Korra thought about it in her mind, "I can't Bo…" Korra said. "He's in love with her Bo, and I want him to be happy, so I can't…" she wanted nothing more than to disappear at that moment, "That's all I want for you Korra….." Bolin's voice was wary, Korra had almost forgotten that Bolin felt for her, the way she felt for Mako. "I'm sorry Bo…." "It's okay Korra!" Bolin got up smiling, that was one thing Korra liked about Bolin, he could bounce back like a rubber band. "Bo… do you think it's wrong to love your brother the way I do…? Knowing that he loves Asami…." Korra knew her heart hadn't completely let go of Mako. "I think, you need to do what makes you happy." Bolin replied, "well I should probably go back now," He turned and walked out the door. Do what makes me happy… Korra thought to herself. "I give up, I can't love him." She sighed outloud.
Mako's POV:
He watched as his brother took Korra from him and walked with her to her room, envy washed over him, he slowly made his way back to Asami who was staring at him with hard green eyes. He tried to put his arm around her, but she shook it off. "What's wrong?" he asked, his brows came together, "Don't even start Mako." She turned away from him. Everyone started to talk again, but Mako waited from Bolin to return. What's taking so long? He thought to himself growing impatient. "Mako…..Mako…." Asami's angry said trying to get his attention. "uhhh I'm going to go check on Bolin." He said as he sat up. Asami grabbed his arm, "Boilin's not a kid anymore Mako I'm pretty sure he's okay." Asami's voice was now furios. "Are you sure you just don't want to go check on Korra." She growled as she released his arm. He ignored her as he walked to Korra's room. He heard the voices of Bolin and Korra drifting from inside the room. He knew it was wrong to eavesdrop but he couldn't help himself, "do you think it's wrong to love your brother the way I do….." he heard Korra say and his heart nearly dropped. He heard them talk more, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. He saw Bolin walk out of Korra's room and he just looked at Mako shaking his head as he walked back to the kitchen. He inched closer to Korra's door not knowing what to do, "I give up, I can't love him." He heard her say, and without thinking Mako walked into Korra's room standing in the door way. "Korra." He said to her as she turned to face him. "M-m-mako. How long where you standing there?"
