The vote was pretty much unanimous. Sorry if this gets weird at the end. I make Asami sound like the biggest jerk ever. FTW c:
Korra POV
I continued to sob in the unknown person I had slammed into. I felt strong arms wrap around me and sit us down on the floor. My head was still pressed against his chest. I dared to look up to see concerned golden eyes staring at me. "Iroh" I breathed. (Doesn't Iroh have goldish eyes?) I felt comfortable around Iroh. We had grown up together. He helped me with my firebending when we were young. There were few people who I trusted enough to see me cry. Tenzin, Iroh, Bolin, and Mak… no one. No one. No one. I mentally slapped myself for reminding myself of the brooding, arrogant, cheating, douche, gentle, insanely handsome, and… STOP. I screamed inside my head. I appreciated that Iroh didn't ask for explanation. I was so thankful that I ran into him and not someone else. Espicially Asami. Remembering what she said made me cry even more.
"Korra, I understand you may not want to talk about it but it is way too early for either of us to worry about it." I barely heard the last of it, tears and tiredness brought me back to sleep.
Mako POV
I turned the corner to see Korra being cradled in another man's arms. I looked at his face, expecting Tenzin, but no. General Iroh was holding my Korra.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled. The general jumped at my voice and looked almost angry.
"She's asleep you idiot! Let me guess, you're the one who made her run into my arms? Listen, you leave Korra alone. You hurt her, I'll personally kill you." He snarled.
Taken aback by his menacing threats I stopped in my tracks. My blood was still boiling and I was positive that steam could be blowing out of my ears but I let him take Korra to her room. Because he was right. It was all my fault.
Asami POV
I stood by the bed of the avatar. Most people would be honored. But me, I wanted to lean over and strangle her. If she thinks she can get away with stealing my boyfriend she must be on more drugs than I thought. I wasn't being nice anymore. She started to stir and I tapped her. She looked up questionably at me.
"Hey Korra… We need to talk." I had started the conversation without her concent. "I don't like the way you look at Mako." She looked bewildered. I laughed a little. "You just don't understand, do you? The beautiful, charming, and rich girl gets the prince charming… not the tomboy-ish, ugly, poor girl. So ok, you're the avatar… you kinda suck at your job. Where's Amon again? Oh you don't know? Hmmph. I laughed a little more. "How could anyone fall for you? You're just… Korra." She growled. "I know he's too nice to say it to your face but just do us all a favor and stay away from mako. Well bye now!" I grinned as if nothing happened and strutted out.
Korra POV
My bottom lip quivered. I wanted to feel confident with myself. I hated myself. Asami was right. I was the freak that everyone had to put up with. I was the wimp who ran away from her duties over a heartbreak. And I wasn't the one who got prince charming. I started to shiver from under me, bloodcurdling sobs escaping my body. I came to a decision. I needed the pain to leave. I looked from my pocket knife and to the door. I grabbed the knife and pulled off my wrist cuff. I took a deep breath in and had second thoughts.. then I remembered.
"The beautiful, charming, and rich girl gets the prince charming… not the tomboy-ish, ugly, poor girl."
"You're just… Korra"
"So ok, you're the avatar… You kinda suck at your job"
"How could anyone fall for you?"
"Just do us all a favor and leave mako alone."
Not needing to remember anymore the knife came down, slashing my wrists.
…Hey. I thought this was an interesting concept so I took the challenge. Thanks to whoever Pm'ed the idea! If you have anymore ideas leave them in the reviews or PM me! It was pretty obvious you wanted Iroh to comfort Korra so I gave a little of Mako jealousy but believe me, Mako's green monster has only been awaken. More to come :D
