Food. Korra smirked, she had done it. Raided the kitchen in an attempt to distract her mind from being heart broken and humiliated.
Well...Two could play at this game, he picked a fight with the wrong avatar. She ALWAYS won, and a brooding fire bender wasn't going to change that. To hell if he thought he would, she was the avatar dammit and he had to deal with it.
She smiled as she took out some leftovers from the night before and heated it up in the microwave, as she stood she had a devious thought.
Iroh...
.
.
.
Iroh, the captain of the army, stood in front of the modest home that was the avatars. He smiled, he had been invited some time ago to visit because, well, he missed his little avatar. They hadnt hung out in forever since her birthday. She had probably forgotten he was coming so he would be able to surprise her, was that boy with the school girls crush with Korra yet? If not, he could cause a little trouble and maybe help the avatar out, he understood the girl better than she thought and it pleased him to know that.
He knocked, and heard foot steps coming to answer the door. A girl slowly opened it, her brown hair in a ponytail, she wore a gray long sleeve shirt with most of the buttons down near the half way point and she wore shorts that you could barely see under the shirt. The shirt that looked to big to be hers, he looked up at her again and noticed her lips shaped in an 'O' as she stared at him.
"Iroh?..." She spoke as her lips smiled "IROH!" She yelled and jumped at him, her arms out stretched as he caught her in a long hug.
"Korra calm down!" He grinned at the girl as Senna, Tonraq, and those two brothers came into view. Surprised at her yelling.
"Korra are you- Iroh?...Your here!" Senna smiled and whispered softly "Welcome."
"I can take your bag son!" Tonraq smirked and went forward hugging Iroh and Korra together.
"Welcome home." Korra whispered quietly in the captains ear, Iroh noticed the two brothers looking surprised. The green eyed one was smiling, understanding, while the golden eyed one glared with a look of intense jealousy. Still hadn't made his move had he? Well, Korra wasn't going to wait forever...
"Come on Iroh, let me show you round the house. We've changed some stuff since you've been away." She pulled them both out of her fathers reach and held his arm tugging him forward "Come on!" She exclaimed excitedly as she began running into the house with him.

Mako looked away as Korra pulled Iroh inside, his heart lurched. She looked so happily with the older fire bender, when they found her she was hugging him.
"It's not like there getting married or anything..." Mako muttered under his breath
"Did you say something bro?" Bolin asked as he began walking back to his room "Looks like my date with Korras ruined." Bolin frowned, date? They were going to go on a date?
"Date? What date?" Mako gaped at his younger brother
"Oh it's nothing..." Bolin blushed and made a beeline for his room
"Wait bro!" Mako followed his brother inside as Bolin closed the door
"Look it was nothing, I was just gonna take her out on the town. We were gonna go eat out than go hang out somewhere. No biggie." Bolin shrugged nonchalantly at the pleasant thought of being with the avatar
"She agreed to it?...Bo..." Mako looked down "I'm terrible." he sighed
"Ok, what you do this time." He patted the bed and stood up to grab a chair and his clip board, this wasn't the first time Mako had come to him about his problems.
"Well you see, remember when I told you I was going to tell Korra how I felt today..." He began
"This can't be good..." Bolin wrote something down
"When I was with Asami, she kissed me," scribble "and well...When she did all I could think about was Korra...So afterwards I ran home, I was, um, crying...See I had hurt myself on the way back," Mako showed Bo a burn on his side "Triads, no biggie, anyway I came home and I was going to go talk to Korra but I sort of walked into her room without knocking and she was...in a towel..." He gulped as Bolin eyed him
"You saw Korra...Naked?..." Bolin stuttered not sure whether to be disgusted or proud he survived the incident
"N-No...T-the towel j-just slipped a bit and, look that's not important!" Mako blushed as Bolin smiled
"My big bros becoming a man...Thank Agni!" Bolin grinned and nudged him "And? Please continue brother dear."
"So she told me to close my eyes or get out or something dammit, so I sprinted out and locked the door. She came after me and I refused to let her in," Bolin sighed In irritation and muttered something about being a stupid fire bender "So she er climbed up through the window and she was hurt so I helped her out-"
"So that's why she's wearing your shirt!" Epiphany! "I thought you two had finally-"
"Ok going on!" Mako exclaimed flustered as he shifted on he bed "I wrapped her up and then out of no where she asked what was wrong with me, asking what Asami had done to me to make me cry. She didn't know I was burned so...She kept going, I looked away and that's when she asked what the hell was wrong with me so I kinda said..."
"Said?"
"You?..." Mako looked down as his brother stared at him
"You really are an idiot, she's your problem? I thought you liked her." Bolin scribbled another thing swiftly
"I do but-"
"Then why did you say that?"
"I didn't mean-"
"Mako! Seriously! You just really hurt her! Why would you say that?" Bolin looked deeply at him
"Because I..." Mako swallowed "I said it because she is my problem. I can't and I won't ever find another girl like her because she's the only one I want...she is my problem but...she the only solution...It just slipped...Then she ran out and then ya..." Mako looked down at his sudden out burst, unlocking to Bolin his deepest secret
"Dude you are deep." The earth bender grinned widely "You need to fix things with her, have you see the way Iroh and her get along? If you want her, you better go get her." Bolin proceeded and Mako looked up confused
"Now!"
"Yes sir!" Mako ran out the room to find Korra in the large home
.
.

She had showed Iroh to the guest room and told him if he needed anything just to ask her, if he needed anything then to just wake her up. They had discussed many things, including her love life, and they had began speaking about it. Iroh coming up with a brilliant plan on how to charm a man and such.
Korra began walking back to the living room, she had left a snack there and she didn't want Naga to take it, so she began walking happily to the room. A smile lighting up around her.
That was until she saw the stoic king himself.
"What do you want? The problem wants her snack so please get out of her way." Korra spat angrily as he stepped in between her destination and her, her happy mood forgotten.
"Korra. Right now I'm going to explain. You are going to listen." He said dangerously, Korra looked at him in surprise, his voice sounded deep...It was making her anger die down and her eyes look curiously up into his. His were a mixture of emotions, all fleeting wildly, not sure which was dominating.
She shook her head, she was not going to let him beat her. Not if she had a say in it, so Korra immediately backed away, scanning for exit routes. If he got to close she might swoon, he looked so...so...
"Ugh! Get a grip girl!" She thought harshly as he advanced closer, dammit she was backing into a wall
This was a new side of the boy, no, the man she had known for so long.
"Korra the reason I said you were a problem was because," Her back was to the wall, one step closer and he would be pressed against her. One hand planted itself on the wall behind her as she leaned as far back as she could. ",Was because your honestly my problem...I cant ever stop thinking about you. Whenever I'm with Asami, I think of you. When she tries to kiss me or tries to get closer, I imagine you..." Korra gasped, where was this coming from?...There was no way he liked her, no way in hell... "Korra...Your the problem but...Your my only solution..." He leaned closer, Agni he was so close, his breath smelled like mint, oh such intoxicating mint
"Knock it off." She demanded fearfully, her voice not as intimidating as it should've been "This is some crude fucking joke Mako! You have to be fucking drunk or some shit!"She managed, doing her best to not believe what he had said to her
He looked surprised, as if he thought this would happen, and sighed.
"You really are stubborn...fine..." Mako smirked and leaned his lips near her ear "Want me to prove it?" He whispered seductively, causing a shiver to course down her spine.
"M-mako?..." She gasped as her face heated up, she felt his tongue on her neck and she suppressed a groan.
"S-stop...I don't...Like to be...Used..." She choked as his hands found their way around her back, he hugged her and rested his chin on the crevice in her neck.
"I will do what you want to prove it..." His voice was silky, so gentle now...Was his feelings...real?...
Korra was so lost...She didn't know what to do...
