"Mako how long where you standing there?" Korra said as she peeked out from under her blanket. "Korra…" he said looking directly into her eyes, she wished she could disappear at that moment as she pulled the covers over her. "Korra about what you said…" Mako kneeled next to Korra's bed gently pulling the covers down so he could see her face. Korra shut her eyes so she didn't have to look at him. "Mako…I-I didn't…it was…" She tried to think of something she could tell him. "Please look at me Korra." Mako pleaded as she slowly sat up and opened her eyes. She looked directly at him, and she couldn't take the overwhelming feeling that filled her as she saw him, his beautiful face, wild eyebrows, and golden eyes. Mako saw the look that was in Korra's eyes, he couldn't tell her how sorry he was for causing her so much pain. "Mako…we both know that I-….." Mako cut her off by embracing her: his huge torso crushing her, causing her to become speechless. "Don't." he said, confusion filled her Korra's mind, followed by pain as she understood Mako's words. The smell of smoke washed over her as Mako continued to speak, "I like you…" he said, and Korra's heart stopped. "but I like Asami too…" her heart slowly started to beat again, and the pain spread throughout her once more. Korra released herself from Mako's embrace, "I understand." Korra said not letting any hint of sadness reach her voice, she stood up and walked to look out of the window that was in her room. Mako did the same, they stood there for what seemed like an eternity until Korra spoke, "It was never supposed to be me huh?" her tone grim. "Korra it wasn't like that…Asami is…" He tried to think of something he could say to make everything better. "Everything." Korra finished for him, he turned her head to look at him, as a cold smile across her face. "No Korra I didn't mean it like that. It's just" Mako couldn't think of anything to fix this, "Save it Mako, my future is to Republic City," she motioned to Avatar Aang Memorial and continued, "that is my future."
Mako couldn't stop his body from reacting the way it did, before he could, it was too late. He grabbed Korras face and kissed her roughly, Korras body froze against his lips, and something wet touched Mako's face, followed by a pain to his left cheek. Korra pulled her face away from Mako as she smacked him, tears ran down her face, and pain filled her. Why was he doing this to her? She didn't speak, and before Mako could explain himself, Korra had jumped out of the window, and used her bending to help her safely to the ground, she didn't look back at him as she ran away. Mako stood frozen, his hand on his face, where Korra had slapped him. He thought to himself, what if he never had the chance to say how he really felt about Korra? What if he was too late? He imagined a statue of Korra in place of the statue of Avatar Aang, her blue eyes now forever gray, her brown skin now just cement. His mind filled with images of Korra as a statue, what if he never told her? Would her forever be haunted by his actions?
*END*
So I think the next chapter will be the end of this series, but don't worry I will make it a happy ending, it's just becoming too much of a hassle to juggle updating this story, with school. Don't hate me D: but I will start my Legend of Korra story, that is based off of Itazura na Kiss.
