So this is it guys, last chapter. Sorry for taking so long. I was very busy. I didn't want to leave you guys so I decided to wrap it up and leave this story in peace. See you at the bottom!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT A PAIR OF SOCKS
KORRA POV
I see his fire. He is holding it in the palm of his hand while he is walking towards me. I walk to meet him halfway and try to hug him. 'Hey Mako'. 'Hi'. Something is wrong, I can feel it. I pull away and have a good look at him. He has been crying. Why? What happened to him? 'Is something wrong?' I ask. A moment of silence. He looks up at me and looks me right in the eyes. 'You' 'Me what? What are you saying Mako?' 'You are wrong' At that moment it starts to come clear to me. He knows. Mako knows that I had been send to kill him. 'Mako, it's not what you think?' 'How can it not be Korra?! You are here to kill me.' I look down, ashamed. 'Do it.' Shocked, I look up again. 'Do it Korra. Go ahead and kill me.' 'Mako, let me explain' 'NO! I wanted this date so I could propose to you!' He takes a little box out of his pocket. 'Mako, I don't..' 'I know. I know you don't want to marry me. But I did want to marry you.' He gives the box to me and I open it to find the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I close it again very quickly and give it back. He closes his eyes waiting for me to give the final blow. I can't do it. I start sobbing and let myself fall on the ground.
MAKO POV
I open my eyes when I hear her sobbing. I bend down to sit next to her. 'Why can't I just kill you?! It would be so much easier for the both of us.' She cried. 'It's the same reason why I can't kill you, Korra. Because of love.' 'Love?' 'Yes, you love me just like I love you.' 'Why? Why do I have to love you?' 'Because you don't have a choice. Love.. Love happens. We don't have a say in it. Love does whatever she wants and she wants us to be together. That's why I bought the ring Korra. Because I want to be with you and fate brought you to me, I believe that. So Korra, could you let me live and with that live by my side for the rest of our lives?' She shakes her head, looking at the ground. I make her stand up and look at her as I say: 'Korra look at me and tell me that you don't love me because if you don't then I don't want to live anymore and you can kill me.'
GENERAL POV
He brings his hands up to her cheeks and lifts her head up so that their eyes make contact. In that moment there is love and that is all Mako needs because he brings his lips down to hers and kisses her while wiping away the tears that Korra didn't even realize were there. 'I love you Mako. I can't kill you. I want to be with you for the rest of our lifes.' He smiles and brings his head down to kiss her again but she turns her head away and slowly pushes him away from her. 'But Mako you have to understand that we can't be together. If I don't kill you then you are still a thread to the city and the council will find some other way to kill you and Mako, I cannot go through that. I can not lose my old life to start a new one for it to be taken away from me only moments later. I can't do that. It will destroy me.' A long silence followed. Mako started smiling and Korra looked at him with a doubtful look. 'BE WITH ME. I WILL LEAVE MY CRIMINAL LIFE FOR YOU. WE CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN. I WILL EVEN BECOME A COP IF YOU WANT ME TO. WE CAN DO THIS. AS LONG AS WE ARE TOGETHER WE CAN DO ANYTHING!' Korra seemed to think about this, followed by a smile and then a frown. 'I know you can do that. But what about me? What can I do? All I know is fighting. You are good at fighting, marketing, finances, managing, almost everything.' 'Don't you have some special talent? Maybe your excellent at waitressing.. Hahaha, you can even be the avatar! That would mean I won't even need a job. The city will pay for everything... You better start teaching me waterbending, maybe I am the avatar. That would be awesome...' At that moment Korra realised that there is so much she can do except fighting. 'Mako? I have something to show you.' A water stream came up from her watertribe water pouch. 'Waterbending? I saw you do that lots of times.' 'Wait for it.' A small fire came from the palm of her hand. 'Fire?! Korra, how do you..' At that moment a few rocks the size of marbles flew up from the ground and started circling around the flame and the stream of water. 'Korra.. Korra, you- you are the- how long did you- how did you- what?!' 'Yes I guess I am. I figured it out a few weeks ago during practise with Asami, I summoned fire while doing a move and almost burned the place down.' 'That. Is. So. Cool! My fiancee is THE avatar.' 'I am the avatar. But I am not your fiancee.' 'What do you mean? I thought we discussed that we can be together, what is the problem now?' Korra started laughing and every time she wanted to say something she started laughing again. 'Korra? You're not helping me right now.' 'Sorry, Mako.' Said Korra, finally calmed down. She put her hands to her sides. 'But shouldn't you ask me to marry you before I can be your fiancee?!' Mako could facepalm himself at that moment but he didn't want to ruin the moment so he took her hands and knelt down on one knee and said: 'My dear Korra. Love has decided that we should be together. Fate has brought you to me. Hope is what we have for the future. I believe that you are the one and only for me, I believe that you are my soulmate and I am yours. We are not what you can call normal and I wouldn't have it any other way because if I was then I wouldn't have met you and you Korra are the most special person I ever met. You are one of kind. You are the only woman in the world that could steal my heart in such a short time, throw it in the ditch by trying to kill me and pick it up and have it again by not killing me. Korra, my one true love, will you do me the honour of becoming your one and only lover for the rest of your life? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man in both this world and the spirit world?' Korra who had now tears running down her cheeks nodded yes and while Mako slipped the ring on her finger she calmed down, he lifted her from the ground. When she had her two feet on the ground again she hugged him and said: 'A simple will you marry me? would have been sufficient.' He smiled, ended the hug and looked her in the eyes. 'I know that but I am planning on doing this only once so I wanted it to be special.' Then he kissed her gently but she wouldn't have it so she deepened the kiss. 'Let's go. You are walking me home because its two am and I am tired.' she yawned. 'And cold.' He smiled for what seemed to be the millionth time that night and placed his scarf around her neck. 'Anything for you, my cold fiancee.' 'I am not cold any longer, I have your scarf and your fire to keep me warm for the rest of my life, remember?'
That was the happiest moment of their life. It was the moment that both of them realized that nothing in the world would separate them again because love happened and brought them together.
