Well well.

You guys wanted me to continue it, so here you are.

Enjoy!

"Glad to see you joining us!" Tahno greeted him, his voice full with irony. "Now you can be so nice and tell me where the fuck you just have been?"

"Shut up", Mako answered as he laid back to the wall. "No one can know about this."

"I see", Tahno replied slowly, "Coz that's why we came here, right? To pick up some chicks..."

Then he showed a bit more attention to his drink. Mako turned away.

He saw her, chatting with another girl, but she wasn't really listening. For a second, she looked behind her back and their eyes met. He couldn't help it and smiled at her. Her lips, still swollen from the kiss, returned the gesture. Then she followed her friend and joined her family.

Mako knew that his brother's staring at him, but he didn't remove his eyes from her.

"Just don't get caught, okay?" Bolin whispered. "Noatak could kill you."

It's worth it, he wanted to answer, she's worth everything.

But he just nodded, "I can take care of myself, Bo."

"I know."

Tahno's glass was empty, so he decided to continue entertain them.

"You know", he said, pointing a finger at Korra's friend, "I think she's less dangerous. And much prettier."

"Shut up", Mako repeated himself. "We should go."

"C'mon, why?" Tahno put him arm on Mako's shoulder. "I was about to go and have fun just like you did!"

"Of course", he answered, brushing his hand away. "But, unlike you, I know how to have fun without breaking any rules."

"Dude, we already broke the rules with coming here. And let me just point out that you were the one who started eye-fucking with the princess!"

"I'm the boss, Tahno", Mako turned to him. "And we're leaving. Now."

"Since when are you the boss?"

"Since you're drunk", Bolin answered instead of Mako, and grabbed one of his arms. "You were right", he turned to his brother. "Let's get out of here."

Korra followed him with her eyes until the three of them left.

"What are you staring at?" Asami asked curiously.

"Nothing", she said, turning towards her. "I'm just... staring."

Asami sighed. "You're bored, aren't you?" she asked with an understanding smile.

"You have no idea."

"You know..." she started, looking around. "We could leave, if you wish."

"My father would never let me."

"You can say you're feeling sick! I'll ask my dad if I can borrow the car. Some of the guards can also come if Tonraq's worried about your pretty ass."

Korra smiled in relief. "You're my savior, Asami."

She laughed, her voice like the song of a million birds. "Just go, tell daddy you're feeling bad. Oh, and don't let Noatak come with us."

"Wasn't planning to", Korra answered, looking at him for half a second. "Every day that passes", she sighed, "I hate him even more."

Asami tightened Korra's hands. "We'll figure out something. Just like we always do."

Korra looked at her dad, and so did Asami.

"Go", she whispered, then let go and started searching for Hiroshi. Korra took a deep breath.

Just go and try too look sick, she thought. It won't be hard.

Mako was laying on his bed, the mask in his hands. He remembered how she wanted to put it off, to see his face. He remembered how scared she was when the guards called.

He didn't except her to kiss him. It was surprising.

Surprising and wonderful. He smiled at the memory.

Tahno and Bolin were sleeping. It was the middle of the night, only an hour after they have left. They were in Mako's parents' house. Of course, his and Bo's parents won't come home.

They were alone since a very long time.

Tahno was their only family. A cousin. His parents - also dead. But it was just because of a car accident.

Mako's parents' story was different.

A firebender killed them. He firstly attacked his mother, and her, being a non-bender, was unable to protect herself. His father was too late. The firebender killed them both.

Bolin wasn't at home, just him. He saw all of it.

Mako shook his head to forget about their faces which he saw every night in his dreams. He was a firebender, just like the man who made an orphan out of him and Bo. And he hated it.

He looked at Tahno's face. He was in peace while sleeping and snoring quietly. He was only twelve when he moved here, eight years ago. Still he was older than them, but always acting like a child.

Mako turned to his other side, holding his mask in his hands. Maybe this time, she'll dream about her. Her lips, as they touched his, her face, as she let go.

And her voice, when she was hoping for another meeting.

I know it's a bit short, but I decided to introduce more and more characters and show another little pieces from this big puzzle:)

I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible!

until then, please review!
