~The Big Reveal~
Part 1
oooOooo
A smirk was all it took to totally and completely capture her awareness. She knew that smirk. That little pull of the lips that practically screamed ill-intent to her. Tahno, her – dare she say it- boyfriend was casually lounging on the opposing side of the bar, staring at her and her pose with the most conniving look she'd ever witnessed. They'd been going steady for a few weeks before he decided to ask her when she was going to inform her friends (and family )that she was taken and as he quoted 'off the damn market, so Mako keep your wandering eyes on Asami's behind.' She chuckled at his possessiveness and secretly thrived on the fact that he wanted her and only her. Unlike some people.
Tahno brushed back his expertly styled hair before subtly winking in her direction. She looked away quickly wondering what the hell he was up to. "Korra? Something wrong?" Asami's sweet, feminine voice cut through her anxiety and she managed a soft smile at the girl. "Yeah, don't worry about me; Mako's been waiting for you to ask him to dance all night."
Asami rolled her eyes playfully, "Honestly, you'd think I'm the man in this relationship, he cooks, he cleans, I pay the bills and have to now (apparently) ask him to dance." Korra snorted at the visual aid of Mako in a pink frilly apron and Asami with a beard before waving the girl off towards Mako. She watched a little amused as Mako shot up almost immediately when Asami gave him her hand.
"They make a cute couple." She muttered to Bo Lin who was seated on her other side. Tahno raised a fine eyebrow at her interaction with the boy he playfully dubbed: 'tubby'.
"They do." She agreed easily. Bo lin glanced at her subtly, " Say Korra, do you want to-" but before he could get out the words, Tahno's lean body swiftly pushed past him and forcefully pulled Korra to her feet. Korra sputtered out whatever she'd been drinking and glared at the new comer heatedly.
"Save that look for the bedroom gorgeous," He whispered seductively in her ear. The hairs on her neck stood up rigidly as she wiped off her mouth with as much dignity as she could muster…which wasn't much. Bo Lin looked up at the ex-wolfbat in anger. "Hey!"
"Hush Tubby." Tahno coolly placed a slim finger close to Bo Lin's mouth. Korra sighed at the look of indignant anger plastered on Bo Lin's face. He was about to stand up and ruff up the ex-Pro bender before Korra turned to him with pleading eyes.
"Tahno, you're impossible" She muttered, looking down ashamed. "Bo, Don't stand up, it's okay, and he's my…we've been…uh…"
Tahno cast the girl an amused grin before finishing her sentence for her. "She's mine Tubby." He stated dismissively before looking to Korra. "And you my dear, would you care for a dance?" He held out his right hand in the perfect picture of chivalry. She snorted at him with a you-must-be-joking look. He simply grasped her hand anyway and pulled her closer until their noses were almost touching. He gazed into her cerulean eyes intently, then softly whispered "I won't take no for an answer."
She gulped a little and nodded slowly, as if hypnotised by his bewitching silver eyes. "YOU'RE WHAT?" Bo Lin's shriek managed to snap them out of their little moment and Tahno shot the boy an annoyed glare.
The Earthbender's outburst managed to grasp Mako and Asami's attention too and Korra internally died. "See what you did!" she poked Tahno accusingly on the chest. He held her offensive finger to halt her actions, "It's not my fault Tubby is so dramatic, besides this never would've happened if you just agreed to dance with me Uh-Vatar." Her glare intensified along with the glow of Bo Lin's angry, flushed face.
"Korra? What's he doing here?" Mako's voice seemed a little strained, as if he already figured out their dirty secret. Asami, on the hand, subtly gave Tahno a one-over before shooting Korra a thumbs-up. The Avatar laughed nervously, waving her hands in surrender. "I can explain!" She stuttered. Tahno sighed gravelly and slung a tired arm around his girl before regarding Bo Lin.
"See what you did Tubby?"
"STOP CALLING ME TUBBY!"
