I'm sick today, so I have time to update. I'm really sorry I haven't been able to update for you all recently! I should be able to update more often now because my computer got fixed.

Anyway... I thought I'd give you a bit of Makorra at the beginning of this chapter, and try to fit some through out.

Soooo... On with the story!

I do not own Legend of Korra, or it's characters.

-Thank you to The-Scarlett-Kat for pointing out my major mistake! I took the chapter down and fixed it, and I added some stuff to the chapter. Nothing big, just small details. So a serious Thanks to you! :)

Hearts On Fire

chapter seventeen: Just a bit of Makorra p.1

Mako's P.O.V

The sun creeps in through the window. I shift slightly and my nose is filled with the smell I have become so familiar with. Pomegranates and Mango. I lift my head and tiredly look down at Korra, who is sleeping peacefully next to me. It's so different from the night before, when she was scared and hurt. A small smile crosses my face at how comfortable she looks now. I lean down and place a soft kiss on her forehead. She smiles in her sleep and scoots closer to me. I lay my head back down on the pillow and look over at her.

She's so beautiful when she sleeps. I slowly move my hand towards her and gently brush a strand of hair from her face. She smiles as she opens her eyes to look up at me.

"Good morning."

"Morning." she says quietly

"You seem like you slept well after yesterday."

"Yeah, I did." She frowns and looks up at the ceiling

"Korra... do you want to talk about last night."

Hers eyes are watering now as tears threaten to spill over. "No."

"Just tell me what happened."

I watch her as she sits up and rubs her eyes. She sighs audibly before going back to her usual self.

"I don't have to tell you anything" she says, crossing her arms and sticking out her tongue at me.

"Fine." I shrug "If you don't tell me on your own, I'll make you tell me."

"Yeah right." she rolls her eyes

"Well, you asked for it."

Korra's P.O.V

Next thing I know, Mako is sitting on my legs and tickling me mercilessly. I couldn't help the loud laughter that erupted from me. I try to roll away and swat at him, but it's no use.

"Stop...it...Mako!" I manage to get out between laughs.

"Then talk to me!"

"No! You...can't...make me!"

"Well then your just putting yourself through this torture."

"Okay, okay!"

When he finally stops the torturous contact, I use that time to move. I flip us so that I'm straddling him and pin his hands up above his head. He looks shocked, which makes me giggle. I lean in closer to him.

"I told you. You can't make me."

Our eyes make contact and my giggling dies down until we're covered in quiet. I notice his eyes darting across my face. He moves closer, reducing the space between us.

We're so close now.

I want this. To be happy. Even if only for a moment.

My eyes flutter close, then...

"Eh-hmm...Are we interrupting something?"

Asami's P.O.V

Bolin had rushed into my room, telling me what he saw as he walked by Korra's room. I was not going to pass up the opportunity to see this. We creep back down the hall and peek into the room. I nearly let out a squeal. I always thought those two would be good for each other.

"Eh-hmm...Are we interrupting something?" Bolin asks, with a bit of sarcasm

I smack him on the arm, but can't help but laugh with him as Mako and Korra quickly jump apart. They each sit on opposite sides of the bed, a deep red staining their faces.

"Well...this is an awkward situation." I say

"I have to go get ready for school." Korra says quickly, meaning for every one to leave the room.

Mako crosses his arms over his chest and frowns before leaving, which earns another laugh from Bolin, who follows. I shake my head and walk farther into Korra's room. I walk over to her large bed draped messily with a blue bed cover, and sit down. I watch as she pulls through her closet for something to wear. She settles on a pair of black jean shorts that came about mid thigh, a red t-shirt, and a pair of all black converse. She turns to me with a straight face.

"Will you stop staring at me. Your burning a hole in the back of my head, and I need to get dressed for school." she says calmly

"The faster you tell me what was going on just now, the faster I can go."

"Nothing happened 'Sami."

"I know. Bolin interrupted. So tell me what almost happened."

She seems to be thinking it over, not really wanting to say anything.

"C'mooooonn, I'm your best friend! You have to tell me, Kor!" I pout at her.

"Uuuughhhh!"

"No need for that, just tell." I say, picking up a pillow and holding in my lap, sitting crisscross style.

She flops down on the bed and starts to tell me what happened this morning.

This is just part 1. I think there will be about...3 parts total. I will try to get them out as fast as I can. The third should get kinda...ummm...I'm not actually sure what word to use. Climactic, maybe.

Anyway, I've got something planned. Let me know what you think of this chapter! I want your opinion.

Thanks for all the support and for being patient with me!:)
