Hey guys! Last chapter until I'm all caught up with Fire and Ice. Like I promised though, this isn't the end quite yet. Because you guys have been so awesomely patient with my laziness, I'm doing an epilogue. Kind of like the morning after, when the sun's actually up. And no, not like that you pervs. ;) So- enjoy!

I waited patiently for her answer, but the longer she took to reply, the bigger my insecurities grew. Her eyebrows furrowed, and confusion swam in her cerulean eyes. "But what about-"
"Asami?" I supplied, chuckling under my breath. "We were looking for Bolin. He was late, as usual. She saw us dancing, and dragged me off the floor to yell at me. When I saw you leave, I tried to follow you as quickly as I could." She smiled, causing one of my own to drift across my lips. "She wasn't quite finished though. She said that it was now or never, I had to choose. Her or you. I chose you. She just laughed and said I was too late." The smile slipped off of my mouth, and I sighed, resting my head on top of hers, relishing in the feel of her warm body against mine. "And I almost was."
I felt her tense for a moment, and I tried not to let the hurt show as she slipped out of my embrace. That peculiar half smile curled on her beautiful mouth, and she feathered her fingers over my cheek once before sticking her hand out formally to me.
"Hi, I'm Korra." She raised an eyebrow, her eyes daring me to play along. I was powerless to resist and I had never been happier to give in to her.
"I'm Mako." I grinned, taking it in mine and shaking it once before I jerked her against me. Her curvy, firm figure melted against mine like ice over hot steel. I brushed an errant curl out of her face, pressing my lips to hers and trying to pour all of the emotion I could never put into words into that one single kiss because Spirits know that she would laugh at me if I ever tried to say them to her face.
She paused for breath, eyes glassy and cheeks flushed. A deep note I recognized as pride rang inside me, starting in my chest and spreading warmth to every single point in my body. I had done this to her, and hopefully would be the only one who ever got the chance to.
"It's nice to finally meet you," she said. I would've usually considered it cheeky had it not been said when she was so out of breath. I smirked, and pressed my mouth to hers once more as fireworks exploded over the bay and the city celebrated on..
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it was a really short chapter, but this was supposed to be in the other one, but you guys know me- I was really just too lazy and tired. And it was a school night. What do you people want from me? You know what? Don't answer that. I know already- more fics. Don't freak, I'm planning on publishing another fic and the epilogue for this one within the hour. *cracks knuckles, wiggles fingers* Watch me work Makorra magic right before the next and surely angsty episode!
SNO.
Oh, and don't forget! Reviews are loved, the people who write them even more so.
