Mako watched Korra train attentively. He enjoyed it, it interested him. He looked over to see Korra fall on the cement while trying an airbending kick. He laughed seeing her pout, "Could use some work." He smirked.
"I swear, there will come a day when I impress you." She had vowed to do that ever since she had joined the fire ferrets. "And thank you for being concerned for my safety."
"Sorry, are you ok?" He reached out a hand to pull her up which she slapped away getting up herself. He grabbed her waist and pulled her close, "You know, you really have impressed me already. You have since the day I met you... Between your powerful bending and-" He laughed at himself.
"What?" She said.
"Well... Your kissing."
"Oh really?"
"Well you're not as good as me but-"
"We'll see about that." She leaned in and Mako returned the favor. Their lips met and the kissed for what seemed like a short time when they were stopped by footsteps. Mako was the first to pull away and he turned his head so his eyes wouldn't meet with the emerald ones belonging to Asami. Korra was embarrassed as well, and red spread across her face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interupt." Asami didn't mean to be rude, but you could hear bitterness in her voice. She turned and walked away. Korra followed soon after. She had wanted to talk to Asami for some time now, but she pushed it off.
"Asami, wait!" The heiress turned around to look at her. "I'm really sorry... I know how awkward this must be for you. I never meant to hurt you... I'm just not really good at working out my problems... especially when it comes to my feelings."
"It's ok Korra, I saw this coming. I'm ok with it now, I just can't help getting bitter feelings every once and I while. I really do still want to be friends."
Korra pulled her in for a friendly hug. She tried to lighten the mood. "Well.. You can have some things back if you want."
"What things?" Asami's brows knitted together and a confused look shown.
"Certain bits and pieces of Mako's personality." They both laughed.
"Like what?" The two began to walk ranting about Mako. They talked for a long time and were bonding. Soon the sun began to set. They decided to head back figuring the firebender was still there waiting for Korra.
"As much as I tease him, I really do love Mako."
"I know, and I'm happy for you both. Well I think I'll go help Pema with dinner."
"See you later, Asami!" She waved.
Korra walked up to Mako. She couldn't help but admire him. "You know, given the chance, I wouldn't change a thing about you."
"I'm glad. And I can certainly say the same thing." they continued their once interrupted kissing session, until Mako pulled away suddenly leaving Korra to pout.
"What were you and Asami talking about anyways?"
"Oh just girl stuff... Your name came up a few times."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing."
