Second chapter! :)
The two (mainly Korra) were awoken an hour or a half so later. Mako had eventually fallen asleep soon after Korra and rested his chin on her soft brown hair, but was awoken by…Lloyd. The two untangled their arms with rosy cheeks quickly and got off the bed.
"Lloy-d! What're you doing here?!" Korra asked, somewhat angry. She disliked when people barged into her room. Especially ones she certainly disliked.
"Your father, Chief Tonraq," Lloyd began, emphasizing her father's "title". "Sent me to find you. That's when I, of course, saw you were…"
Korra blushed even more and took a step away from Mako to prove it was nothing that they did. She eyed Lloyd in disgust (she should be thinking of a stronger word) and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Is that all you wanted? Because you can leave now." Korra responded, and gestured her left hand towards the door. "It's right there, the door. Nearly 2 steps away from you." She heard Mako let out a small chuckle and smirked back at Lloyd.
"I take it you're kicking me out? Fine. I'll tell your father I found you then…and don't get attitude with me," Lloyd spoke back, practically spitting out the word "attitude". "I am still your fiancé."
Korra watched as he shut the door behind him as he left. And who was that boy to call her his fiancé? She didn't even have a betrothal necklace (not that she wanted one from him anyways). Korra plumped herself on her rickety bed letting out a loud sigh.
"I'm sorry." Mako said quietly as he placed himself next to her on her bed once again.
Korra waved it off, obviously okay with the whole thing. "Ah, don't be. It's not your fault. I fell asleep on you first anyways." She smiled into his eyes.
Mako returned it with a puzzled face. "I-I meant sorry about you getting married to that guy."
"Oh…that's…that's not your fault, Mako." She replied with a small laugh.
Mako looked at his hands that were on his knees. "But it is." He answered, giving her now a serious look. "I was so stupid, Korra. I'm sorry for ever breaking up with you."
He now looked straight into her oceanic eyes that he could get lost in for a lifetime. Korra gave him a worried look, but the both leaned in and…
Kissed.
Sadly, it was quickly interrupted when they heard a gasp and they quickly separated their lips from one another.
"Ton-Tonraq!" Lloyd called out, and well, behind him appeared a strong, buff man, known as the father of Korra (and chief of the water tribes.). He saw as his daughter and Mako tried quickly to separate.
"Korra! What do you think you're doing?!"
Korra eyed her father angrily as she grasped Mako's gloved hand.
"I'm sorry but I cannot marry Lloyd! I love Mako!" She said, squeezing her lover's hand tightly as if never willing to let go of it.
Tonraq took a step closer (like he wasn't already close enough) to them and furrowed his brows. "It doesn't matter if you want to or not, Korra! It's your duty! When will you understand that?!"
"D-ad…"
"No no! You cannot just go off cheating like that!" He pulled the "couple's" hands apart.
"Oh, and you!" Tonraq nearly yelled into his ear as he eyed Mako sharply. "Mako, do not lay a single finger on my daughter!"
"But dad! He's only trying to help-"Korra tried to protest but was snapped off by her father.
"No, you don't understand. I love him," She spoke as she entangled her fingers in Mako's again, "But not Lloyd."
"Korra…" Tonraq was starting to get ticked off now. He then eyed her and Mako and then down to their hands. He smirked to himself. "Fine, then treat Lloyd like Mako."
"What?!" Korra yelled, but then felt Mako's hand leave hers. "M-ako? What're you…?"
Mako looked carefully into her eyes, full of sadness and confusion. "Maybe…it's for the best, Korra."
Korra was about to grab him back saying "no no no no no, we'll be okay" but he left out the door and closed it. Korra quickly slammed the door opened and stopped at its frame, watching him walk away.
"You can't leave!" Korra cried out with tears rushing, but he continued. "Mako! Mak-o! Don't!"
She saw him look over his shoulder and she saw…sadness…and regret. But when she was about to call him out again, he was gone.
"N-o…" Korra whispered out as she slid down the wall crying to herself. It…wasn't fair. Her love… just left like that.
