Hey everyone. I'm still here. Sorry it took so long to update, but I've had it pretty rough. Dealing with selfish people and life's problems is not fun. My brain is all over the place today, but I wanted to update. I lost my note book when I moved so I'm kinda winging it. Sorry, but...I hope you enjoy this chapter anyway though:)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my brain. If I did...Well that'd be awesome.
Hearts On Fire
chapter twenty-four: Dinner
Mako's P.O.V
We were all in the kitchen as Kirra finished cooking dinner. I stood beside Korra by the far wall watching her family in the kitchen. They dance to music that they sing together and each take up a task to help dinner along faster. They're having fun together. I look over at Korra and see her faint smile as she looks on. I smile at her, knowing that she'll be happy hear.
"Get over hear Korra." Kirra calls out while laughing
Korra skips over to her and Kirra grabs her hands, spinning her around, dancing and stirring at the same time. I feel a tug on my shirt and look down at bright blue eyes. I smile at Katry as she motions for me to stoop down to her. She watches me for a moment before speaking.
"Your handsome." She says
I have no clue how to respond to that.
"Um...thanks."
The large smile in her face widens. I can't but see Korra in her face, although much younger. She's still watching me and I just wait for her to say something else.
"I think you should kiss my sister."
Her blunt statement catches me off guard.
"And why is that?"
"Because if you kiss her, then you'll be together forever."
"Um, that's not exactly how it works."
"Mommy says if you care about someone and you kiss, then you'll be together...or something like that." she says thoughtfully with her small hand on her chin.
"Don't you care about her?"
"Of Course." I say
"Good, because I like you. They do too." she gestures over to her parents
"...That's good to know."
" And I can tell you like her. I'm seven, but mommy says I'm observant."
"..."
She smiles at me before giving me a hug and skipping back over to her family. I think about what she's said. It's child's logic but it's nice to think about.
It would be nice to kiss Korra. I smile to myself.
"Why don't you kids go set the table." Tonraq says.
Taiko and Katry lead the way to the dinning room. We pull the plates and utensils from the china cabinet after Kirra instructs us to 'use the good china for such a special occasion'. When all is set, Tonraq and Kirra bring out the food and sit down. I have a seat next to Korra with Katri on my other side, Taiko next to her.
Everyone's all smiles around the table.
Korra's P.O.V
This is nice. This family thing. I haven't had two loving parents in a long time. I smile at everyone around the table. They've all made me feel welcome here. They didn't have to, but they've taken me in with loving open arms. And it's greatly appreciated.
"So, Korra, you can continue to attend the same school. We're close enough." my dad says
"Taiko and I are in school close to you. We can go and come home together everyday now!" Katry says excitedly.
I laugh lightly. "Of course we can."
She looks next to her. "You too Mako."
He pauses, then he smiles. "I usually drive my brother and our friend Asami to school each morning, but If you want we can all go together sometimes."
Katry bounces in her seat excitedly.
"How does that sound Taiko?" I look over at my little brother. It's weird to say. I have a little brother and sister. He pauses in the middle of lifting his fork to his mouth.
"That's cool." he says offering a smile. He doesn't say much, this is all so new, but he told me he's happy I'm here. How he's always wanted to meet me. I hugged him after that.
"Sounds like a great idea." Kirra chimes in, smiling widely. "Sounds like it'll all work out."
I look up at her, catching the glint in her eyes. I can tell she means more than just school. She means this family, me living here. Another daughter to embrace and spoil. I agree with her though.
"Yeah," I smile. "I think it will."
This chapter is more like a filler. Sorry it's so short. Again, I winged it. I'll update as soon as I can and get this story back on track, I promise. Let me know what you think. And I mean honestly what you think. It will help me make this story better.
See you all next time:)
