This one is going to be short, but I hope you like it anyways!
Day #17: Look
Characters: Mako & Bolin
Setting: Living on the streets
7/22/12
Mako counted the money they had left while Bolin, slowly ate a dumpling. He held one out to his older brother who stuffed the money into his pocket and sat down next to Bolin and took a small bite of the dumpling.
The two of them had been able to eat everyday this week, thanks to the new trick they had developed.
It all started with a look from each of them, and it started. They would pick a person that looked pretty wealthy, and Bolin would go out and get their attention by grabbing onto their clothes and crying. Most of the wealthier people were disgusted and would try to fling him off, and it was at this point Mako would emerge and apologize for his brother, while snuffling and rubbing his nose.
Mako would sneeze, a surprise blast of fire knocking the person backwards, causing them to trip over the piece of earth Bolin had bent up. Then Bolin would jump on them, pinning them to the ground while Mako found their money and took it.
Another look between the two of them, and they would be off, running through the maze of alleyways in the city laughing with each other and thinking of all the food they were going to be able to eat.
For Bolin it was a game, but for Mako he was keeping his younger brother alive. He didn't particularly like stealing from people, but he did what he had to for them to survive.
I want brother flashbacks in season two. PLEASE BRYKE.
Please review!
