Three weeks had passed since the day Bolin moved into the apartment. Sticking to his promise they maintain a "Hi/Bye" relationship with each other and nothing else happened between the two friends.

On their best behavior Korra and Bolin gotten their friendship back on track but sadly her relationship with Mako had begun to hit some unusual bumps and rolls. Mako was starting to act differently from the way he treated her to the way he would kiss her. It felt like he was a different person almost and that in itself made her judge herself. He stayed out longer sometimes not even coming home for a day or two at a time. Mako would tell her that he was pulling double shifts and going on missions, and while her mouth told him o.k., her heart told her otherwise. The less she saw him frankly the less she missed him but she had no time to really harp on it much since she still very much divided her time between training at Air Temple Island, her Avatar duties in Republic City, and trying to catch up with Mako.

The thought of falling out of love was a hard reality that she was going to have to face sooner or later and it scared her.

Since today was her day to go to airbending training she decided to seek out Tenzin to see if he had some sound advice.

Maybe I could clear my head.

Tenzin sat in the meditation pavilion doing his daily meditation. He already knew who it was by the sound of her steps. "Hello Korra, What's on your mind?" He spoke not moving anything else but his lips. "I j-just came to meditate." She was clearly lost in her own thoughts and he could tell. "I think with as distracted as you seem to be, meditating would be a lost cause. Do you want to talk about it?" Tenzin side-eyed the petite waterbender, she had a slouch to her posture and looked as if she hadn't gotten any sleep in days. "Come sit." He patted the space next to him and smiled.

Korra took a deep breath "Tenzin is distance supposed to make the heart fonder?" she questioned sadly. He paused and thought about it for a second. "I suppose it does...but do you feel that?" he continued,

"You know with Lin that was one of things to hurt our relationship, distance. I would be at council all day and she'd be at the department all night and for a while we didn't see much of each other. This would go on for days, even weeks and weeks on end. And when we did…"

He let out sigh and clasped his fingers together.

"It never ended on a good note. We argued about everything until one day, love wasn't enough to hold it together. I loved her yes but in the end we were going two different paths in life." He was at peace with his past relationship but sometimes the nostalgia of his love for Lin.

Listening to Tenzin's story, it gave her the strength to try and salvage things with Mako, spirits be damned.

"Maybe it's me Tenzin. I haven't been the best girlfriend lately." She miffed blowing the hair out of her face. "How is that so?" Not wanting to out the terrible things she had done—at least in her mind she carefully phrased her words. "I feel like I'm falling out of love with him but I think he's getting there first." She felt a stinging in her eyes and a soft choking sob tumbled from her lips. Tenzin took it upon himself to hug her, after all she was like a daughter to him and he couldn't stand to see her hurt like this. "It's going to be alright. Just talk to him and see where you're at and go on from there. I'm sure this will pass." Korra nodded and wiped her face.

"Thank you, Tenzin." She bowed and left for her apartment.

He had long brown tresses wrapped around his fingers as she sat in his lap. The couch became their favorite place to fool around on. Gripping her backside roughly, looked into her eyes and teasingly bit and squeezed her breasts. "You feel so good." The firebender whispered into her ear, she replied with breathy moans and groans. They didn't hear the keys jingling or the door open. "I lo-." She squealed as he dipped his fingers low.

"Mako…?"

The couple stopped dead in their tracks. The girl climbed from top of Mako and quickly grabbed her clothes bumping into Bolin, she apologized. Mako was not happy to be caught but it was better his brother than Korra he thought. "I'll call you." he shouted to the unknown girl, she nodded her head and quickly exited.

He sat there with a self-satisfied look on his face.

"How long Mako?" Bolin could not believe his brother was doing this. It was one thing to lie to Asami but it was another to be cheating on Korra with some random girl. "Long enough." He felt a burgeoning anger rise within his chest. "I thought you loved Korra?" Bolin began to shout. "I do." Mako frowned and moved to put his clothes back on. "It's complicated though. I think she loves someone else and I'm not going to wait around for her to dump me for the next guy." Bolin's eyes widen at his brother's selfish words.

She can't be. He thought.

"I surely doubt she loves anyone else because all she cares about is you." Bolin said bluntly. "Pfft, yeah right. Anyways, don't say a word of this to her. I want to have the talk with her before you go and blab off like the last time." Mako reached to pat his brother on the shoulder, but Bolin moved away. "I hope she goes Avatar State on your ass." Bolin seethed and with that he went to his room and locked the door.

ℑℑℑℑ

As he sat in his room he started to feel that lonely feeling again. Beside himself and caught in the middle of his brother's foolishness yet again, he wanted to tell Korra want he saw. Korra isn't going to believe me though. He thought as he relayed a hundred scenarios in his head. Placing his pillow over his face and screamed.

"Mako, Bolin I'm home!" she shouted as she opened the door. Bolin had his door cracked but he could see everything. Mako walked out their room where he had just finished getting cleaned up from his tryst. "Hey Korra I missed you." He hugged her and kissed her fervently; disgusted Bolin slammed his door shut. "What's that about?" she pointed to at the door. "I don't know but come on and get dressed. We're going out for dinner." He smiled and soon they were on their way out.

A/N: I'm sorry it's kinda short but I was pleased with the outcome and thank you for the reviews I appreciate it :D. Please don't hate me for the way Mako comes off in this chapter :(. Everyone has their reasons why they do what they do. I just like writing drama and angst for the heck of it lol.
