She groaned, she was still weak, but the shivering had stopped

"No, we are to get out of here, I won't leave you"

"He could kill you"

"I'd like to see him try"

Korra had finally stopped shivering, she was still very fragile but she was now talking and holding a conversation

"Why didn't you tell me Korra?" Mako asked, his eyes were filled with worry and sadness, they had boiled over, she couldn't look at him in the eye, she was on the bed curled into the corner it backed into, and Mako was leaving against the wall on the opposite side of her. She looked down to, noticing that his chest was severely burnt, and blood was now seeping through the burns

"Mako! Your chest!" she yelled running over to him, she sat in front of him with one of her legs tucked into her and the other sprawled out on him

"I need some water" she said, she then closely examined it

"Do you mind if I touch them?" she said, she was going to put her hand on his chest, he nodded to her and she placed her hand lightly to where the burn was, it had torn some of his shirt so she put her hand on the inside and move it to get a better look

"We need to get out of here" he said while Korra touched his chest, her hands were so warm to his skin, at that moment he forgot that he was in Amon's underground prison

"Did you burn anywhere else?" she asked, those blue eyes piercing him

"My stomach, but it doesn't hurt"

Well that was a lie

"Mako, these burns are bad, just let me heal them"

She then moved her hand down towards his stomach, she touched it and Mako winced, she looked up at him

"I thought you said it didn't hurt?"

She smirked this time, Mako rarely showed pain, being a fire bender she would have thought he could take this, but it still hurt him none the less and if they wanted to escape Mako was going to have to be at his fittest, he smiled at her

"OK this is going to sound a little weird, but you're going to have to take your shirt off, I need to heal them otherwise it's going to get infected"

He looked surprised at first but complied with her, her face went a bright shade of red as he started taking off his clothes, she turned around covering her eyes to give him some privacy, and he smiled at this action

"Korra you're going to be healing it anyway, I don't care if you see my chest"

"No, but I'm sure Asami would"

She looked down a small tear sprawling from her eyes; she quickly wiped it away hoping Mako didn't see, too late. He saw her and sadness flooded his features, he didn't say anything to her though. She wasn't shaking at the moment or losing her mind. Right now things were good, he placed his clothes down on the bed, his scarf of the top of the pile.

Korra gracefully bent some water from the damp floor, she then removed all the gunk from it, she didn't have a lot of water, but she could work with it.

When she sat back down Mako followed her again sitting back on the wall, the coldness of it making him shiver. She bent it to his stomach first, that water glowing illuminating her features, Mako couldn't help but stare at her. Korra was so naturally beautiful; she didn't need make-up.

"Korra, you should have told me you weren't feeling well, Tenzin told me about all the nightmares you had been having, god Korra you're not alone"

His voice was so sweet; her sooting hands on his abdomen were making him want her more and more. Korra was also very turned on at that moment, she kept thinking to herself how lucky Asami was to have that all to herself, she then started talking not looking up from her work

"You say I'm not alone, but I feel it every second of the day Mako, you and Asami were all over each other, I get it she is beautiful, she is stunning, and funny and smart. I don't compare I get it"

He saw a tear slip from her eye and before he had a chance to argue she said

"I want to cry all the time, I'm scared and alone. I hate this feeling Mako…I hate it"

She then lifted her hand from the cut on this abdomen; it was now pink and healing. He would have to heal some of it himself, but Korra had successfully cleaned the wound and repaired the burnt skin, he would still have a scar though. She then looked up to his chest. The wound was across the centre of his chest and went about half way on his right peck.

Mako closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation of Korra's hands on his chest, then she bent the water onto the burn and let out a sigh of relief, boy it must have been hurting him, he then looked at Korra, tears were streaming down her cheeks, they were at eye level now while Korra was working on repairing his chest.

"You don't get it Korra" he whispered, her ears perked up, she looked at him, god he was hot, he gave her a smouldering look of pain and passion. Korra's hair was out. Mako had taken them out earlier while he was holding her. She had wavy long hair that was past her shoulder. Mako had never seen it like that

"What don't I get Mako?" her voice sharp

"How beautiful you are! God Korra, it literally hurts me sometimes! Do you know how hard it is for me to stay in control around you? Yeah Asami and I are together, but that doesn't change the fact that you are one of the most important people in my life." He looked down and paused then looked back to her

"I ignored you because whenever I'm around you it's just…it's just"

Korra just stared at him stunned; she never ever thought of herself as beautiful, Mako eyes were pained now. He looked at her swallowing back tears. Korra looked down and continued healing

"In my dreams you die"

She blurted out; she didn't mean to say it, she didn't want him to know. But she had to change the subject or she was going to cry, she just didn't mean to change it to her dreams

"What?" Mako was confused

"Don't worry about it" she said quickly, he then grabbed her hands and the water dropped from her healing grasp splashing on her legs

"Korra, I want to know, you can tell me" she looked into his eyes, damn those eyes, great she was going to boil over again

"Every night, you die in my dreams. I try so, so hard to wake up. He is always standing there over you. Just laughing at me while I try to run to you to help you, most nights I never get to you and I'm just running forever, never reaching you. But lately I have actually been reaching you, god Mako, you're not breathing and the blood, so much blood"

Korra burst into tears, Mako pulled her into him hugging her so tightly, he kissed her forehead and rocked her soothingly.

"I had no idea…that will never happen Korra" he then lifted her face up to his, he felt so guilty that he didn't know about this. Seeing Korra so scared tore away at him

"You are so strong Korra, you may not know it, but you are. When I saw you like that, it was horrible, I didn't know what to do, you were just so sick and then you were gone. They just took you! I would rather die than see anything happen to you Korra…"

Korra's eyes were wide, she was still crying but she was just sniffing now

"I can't let you die Mako, ever"

Those eyes tore into Mako's soul, he didn't realise how scared she was. He thought that she was always brave and strong. He then looked down at her body, her clothes we ripped showing her bare stomach, a large portion of her pants were also ripped showing off her long legs, they were toned an tanned. Mako had never noticed it before.

Korra was also looking at Mako's chest, she always knew he was sculpted but well, Korra was having a hard time not looking at him now. He wanted to kiss her so badly, but the last time he did she passed out in his arms

"I want to kiss you so bad right now, but for your own health and safety I don't think I should"

He said his voice was so deep when he said it,

"But you won't because the last time you did I passed out, and you are with Asami" she said looking down, she knew how to read him, she knew he was nervous because of the last kiss they shared. Yes he was with Asami, but Korra was different.

She then stood up and walked towards the bed, picking up Mako's clothes and handing them back to him. She really didn't want him to put his shirt back on, but she reluctantly handed them to him, he put on his long sleeved shirt and then went to put on his coat, he knew Korra was cold but this time she was actually shaking because she was cold, not because she was having another breakdown.

"Here, you need these more than me"

"I'm fine, seriously be careful your burns need to heal"

She said in a serious tone, he walked over to her and lifted up her arm, placing the coat on her arms then around her, he then went to clip it up, accidently grabbing her waist as while he tried to pull the coat around, she blushed. He then did it up for her and wrapped the scarf around her neck.

She was the only other person he had let wear his scarf, not even Bolin had put it around his neck

"Better?" He asked

"I don't need to wear it, you hate the cold and you need to heal to sit down!" she said pushing him onto her bed

"Wait we are going to sleep?" he asked her surprised

"Yes, if we are going to get out of here, than your wounds need to heal. Amon won't come down here again; he will get his men to do it for him, and they need to think that we have no possible way of escape. They will give us bread and water and that's when we need to act. Tenzin and Lin will be looking for us as soon as they figure out we are gone. We need to rest, you need to rest."

She said firmly, the bars were still hot; it would take hours before they cooled down and there was only one bed in this room.

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"The floor" she answered back

"No way, get on here" he said moving over

"Mako it is a single bed, and you need it more than I do" she said, he looked at her body once more, she may not have been complaining but she was hurting

"No Korra, get on here before I drag you" in smug voice, she put her hands on her hips then walked over, taking off the coat and putting it over the two of them, and handed back his scarf

"You wear it" he said,

"I'm going to fall off the bed, your shoulders are broader than mine, its fine Mako, I'll just sleep on the floor"

She said sliding off the bed, Mako then grabbed her arm and pulled her back on, he then laid down his arm behind Korra's head

"Just sleep on me" He said and pulled her onto him, her legs were lying on the bed but the upper part of her body was laying on Mako's

"Your burns"

"Are fine" he replied

Korra felt slightly awkward doing this; she was being very stiff as well, like she was doing something wrong. Mako laughed, looking down at her

"Korra, I'm fine"

She smiled, she had a plan running through her head, she conjured up many different options while she had been arguing with Mako and when she woke up and started fighting the chi-blockers. She then smirked, Mako looked down at her and he already knew

"You have a plan don't you?"

She looked up at him, her hair falling in his face

"Yes, I do"
