"Bo, where are you going?"
"Uh, Pema wants me to get groceries."
Iroh slapped his forehead at his boyfriend's lame excuse.
"With Iroh?"
"She wants a lot of groceries…" the General told him nervously.
Now it was Bolin's turn to slap his forehead.
Mako looked at his brother. Korra was cuddled up next to him, they were listening to the radio.
"Bo, who do you think you're fooling?" the Avatar asked him, smugly. "I know you guys are going on a date. In fact, they probably been dating for ages!"
"Is this true?" Mako narrowed his eyes at the other firebender, who was doing his best to make himself invisible.
"Y-yes, Mako."
Mako stared at them both for a long time.
It was only half a minute at the most, but it felt like an hour.
Finally, he said the unexpected.
"I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!"
"If you can't tell, Mako's pretty happy. Now go, have fun on your date, Bo."
"HOLD UP. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT BOLIN GOING ON A DATE?" Asami boomed, coming out of a door that nobody had ever noticed was there.
"Yeah, him and Iroh have been dating."
"You!" She marched up to Iroh, jabbing a finger into his chest. "You better treat my baby right, or else, you'll be sorry that you ever messed with him, understand!"
"Y-yes, Asami!"
"And furthermore, you will act like a proper gentleman, are we clear?"
"Yes!"
Of course, if Iroh said otherwise, the temple walls would be painted with his blood, because Asami had gone into full blown Kyoshi mode right now.
"Okay! Now have fun, Bo-Bo!" She pinched Bolin's cheek, and skipped back through the door.
Everyone was awkwardly silent.
"Bo-Bo?" Damn, I thought you were my mother, Mako."
