Chapter 5
The next morning, Mako found himself on the edge of the bed, about to fall off. Korra had herself practically on top him. She was wrapped around him like a snake. He tried to wake her up by poking her, which resulted in her rolling into him and pushing him off the bed. "OOOWWW!" He exclaimed.
"Mako?" Korra looked down at him. "Why are you on the floor?" She furrowed her brow awaiting an answer.
"Have you realized you take up a two person bed?" He asked her rubbing his head.
"Yeah." She giggled. "I probably should've told you I did."
"It's alright. Just let me sleep on the other side next time, Okay?" When he said this, Korra blushed.
A healer walked through the door with a bucket of water. "Hey Mrs. Avatar. How are you doing?" the healer asked as he placed the bucket on the table, and pulled a clip board out of a slot at the end of the bed.
"Well, I have a bruised fist, cut wrists, and a fractured skull. How are you doing?" She said with attitude.
"I see your pain meds have kicked in. It took a while, but they're working." Said the healer. Korra was un-amused.
"I see you're still single and lonely. Which reminds me, how is your mother?"
"You better get rid of that attitude, Mrs. Avatar, or I'll have to take the radio away." He warned her. Korra gave him the finger then crossed her arms. "Last chance, Korra." Said the healer.
"Fine! I'll be good." She put on a fake smile and settled down.
The healer looked to Mako, Bolin and Asami. "Mood swings are a side effect of her pain meds."
"Wait, Korra was asleep the whole time you were healing her. And you weren't here to give pills to her when she woke up, so how the hell did you manage do give her pain meds?" Asked Asami crossing her arms.
"We gave them to her when she was sleeping… Before you all came into the room. They start to take effect overnight." Korra just realized what he said.
"Wait a minute. You force fed me pain killers?" She got out of her bed. "I should kill you where you stand, you motherfu…" She was cut off by Mako placing a hand over her mouth. That backfired when she bit into it.
"AAHH! For Spirit's sake, Korra. That hurt."
"Sorry. But I'm over being force fed pain killers, so let's go take a walk." Korra said, suddenly happy. Bolin stared at her. "That's what I call a change in mood."
The four of them walked down the hall, to the lobby and out the front door. Since Korra wasn't obligated to leave the hospital, they walked around courtyard in the back of the hospital. Mako stared at her. She was still wearing her Johnny-Gown.
"Korra, why do you still have your Johnny on?" Asked Mako scratching his head in confusion.
"I didn't feel like putting clothes on." She started to shiver a bit.
"Well, you look cold, so here." It's 70 degrees out, thought Mako. He took off his jacket and put it around her shoulders. She put her arms through the sleeves. Then, she suddenly stopped.
"Korra, what's wrong?" Asked Bolin stopping and turning to her.
