Bolin POV
"What the hell, Mako? Will you ever make up your mind? Korra or Asami? Choose, now." I demand at my brother. He lifts his head from his hands and I look at him. His eyes are bloodshot and full of tears. I take a step back, shocked. Mako never cried. The last time he had cried before this whole mess with Korra was when our parents died.
"Korra." He whispered "Korra, Korra, Korra!" his voice quickly got louder. "I have no idea what happened." He put his head back in his hands, letting a few more tears escape.
"DINNER!" We heard Pema shout.
"Dinner is pointless. Eating is pointless. Everything is pointless without her." I shook my head.
"You're coming to dinner and eating, dumbass." I snapped. He looked depressed as I dragged him down the hall. We both gasped when we saw Korra sitting at the table, next to Iroh.
"korra!" I said cheerfully, ignoring Mako's hands, blistering mine.
Mako POV
All I wanted to do was talk to Korra but this stupid general took my seat. I sat across from Korra, my eyes never leaving hers. My hands caught fire when Iroh took Korra's hand. I wanted to be the guy to hold her hand, to comfort her. The first time she caught my gaze she immediately looked down, as if the thought of me hurt her. I got up abruptly and went into her room. Yes, her room. I was going to wait here until she got back. I sat on her bed and returned to my crying. I felt so weak and broken. I had never felt this way before.
Korra POV
I ran into my room, seconds after Mako left for his. Little did I know he was sitting on my bed. I gasped and try to back off. "Korra, please!" He was begging. I looked to his face, covered in tears. I tried to hold in my feelings. But all I could I could do is run into his chest. His strong arms wrapped around me securely. "Just tell me what's wrong. Please, I would do anything to take away your pain." He whispered in my ear. I told him everything. But I left out that Asami said those things. I said it was in a note on my table. He was steaming with anger.
"Korra…" He started when he saw my tears. He leaned down to hug me.
"Mako. I just want to be friends." I said quickly, not looking at him. I knew his expression would be full of hurt and pain.
"D-do I still…. Have a chance?" He asked quietly.
"We can see where it goes…" I smiled weakly. He smirked and walked out of my room slowly. He stopped at the door and looked back. His gaze, full of hurt and desire. And he walked out of the door.
