Lovely Memories
A/N: ok so today is the last day of Korroh week and I'm far behind, but it's been crazy. Next one should be up soon but I still don't know if I will be able to make it, I'm sorry. Still, please R&R.

It was these moments what Korra loved the most, just lying in bed with him, her head in his chest, his fingers combing through her hair, their bodies so close they felt like one. She was so in love with this man it hurt, and although she wouldn't admit it, she had been in love with him for long.
"Do you remember how we met?" Iroh chuckled at her question.
"How could I forget? I had not even introduced myself and you were already challenging me to spar. You were a stubborn little brat, which you still are"
"Hey that's not fair, I'm the Avatar you can't say that. And I was not a brat, you just say that because you were a stuck up prince, which you still are" Iroh chuckled. He was so used to Korra calling him names that weren't exactly flattering he laughed at them along with her.
"Iroh, when did you start loving me?"
He thought this question through, when you know someone for so long some things are hard to remember "Well, truth be told, for many years I didn't, for long I thought of you like a little sister, a friend, the Avatar-" he saw Korra grimaced but took her face in his hands as he always did when he knew something was bothering hef "It was after I enrolled in the United Forces that I realized life without you was too much for me to bear, but when I came back to the South Pole you were already gone." Korra took the General's hands off her face and leaned to kiss him, she had never known. "Your turn"
Korra blushed and looked down.
"I had a crush on you since I can remember, you were this prince like you came out of a fairytale, you were always so kind to me standing every prank I did to you, then you went away and so did I"
"But it didn't matter, we're together now" he said as he kissed her cheek and felt a smile growing on Korra's face.
"After everything, you going away, me going away, the war-"
"Mako" she raised and eyebrow at Iroh "well he was and obstacle on our relationship"
"I knew it, I knew you still hated him"
"Korra I never hated him, I hated the fact that you were with him. Although it was not for long it drove me crazy, you don't know how many times I wanted to snatch you off his arms and tell you how much I loved you, to kiss you, to hold you, to be with you. But you seemed happy, at first at least, and I couldn't steal that even if I wanted to so badly."
Korra didn't say anything in response, it had been so long since that, they never felt the need to talk about it, knowing how he felt only made Korra love him even more.
"That's enough talking." And Iroh couldn't agree more.
