The moon was high over Yue Bay. Mako sat on the dock connecting to the island. His legs hung over the water as he looked at the stadium. Korra was walking around the island and noticed Mako; she walked over to him. Mako was caught up in a world of thought, he didn't notice her.
"Beautiful view, right?" She said as she sat down next to him.
He jumped in shock. "Huh? Oh yeah, it is." He looked at the girl. "What are you doing up at this time?" He asked.
"Couldn't sleep, it's a full moon. I'm always up on a full moon." Mako looked up at the sky. "I was just about to ask you the same thing."
"Oh, well, I just needed time to clear my mind and just think." He replied.
"About what?"
"Uh, I don't know. Everything and nothing. Life, I guess, like what mine and Bolin's next move is. Like ever since our family broke apart when our parents died everything felt so inconsistent. That is until Toza took us in. When Toza took us in, we finally had a steady place to call home, not just random places around the city, and I finally had a steady job: probending. Yes, I did have to do other odd jobs to keep up the rent but I still had a backup job. I thought once we won the championship that we would be set and financially secure, but in one night all of the steady things in my life shattered."
"Do you have rocks in your head or something? Seriously, I've told you this probably about a thousand times already; you can stay here. You live here on Air Temple Island now, with me. You don't need to worry about a home because this is your home, and you don't need to worry about money because what do you need it for, besides non-necessities, you've got food here and you don't have to pay rent. Finally, for the first time, you can just relax."
"Yeah but Korra, how long could that last? We can't stay here forever. Once you are done with your airbending training you're going to leave and do great things for the world. Bolin and I are going to have to find somewhere to live by then. I need to get a job and save up for that while I can."
"Mako, don't worry." She put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him and made him look her in the eyes. "From now on, I just want you to know that where ever I go you two are welcome to come. If I leave, you're coming with me, no questions asked. You said your family fell apart after your parents died, well now you have a new one. Bolin and I are your new family. Yes, we are all a family now. So where ever any one of us goes the others follow. I want you two by my side where ever I go. I promise that I will always be there for you and never become an inconsistent thing in your life." She pulled him in for a hug. She grabbed him and he held on to her. They stayed in each other's arms, comforting the other. They pulled away, their eyes both locked onto the other's eyes.
"Thank you." Mako said. She smiled.
"No problem." She replied.
She laid down on her back looking up at the stars. Mako followed. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. They soothed each other. She was one of the few things in his life that he didn't want to let go of. They fell asleep together on the docks that night. He woke up, she was still asleep. He took one look at Korra and closed his eyes again to take in the pleasing feeling she gave him. He knew the answer to the girls question now.
