Greeting's fellow MaKorra obsessed fans!
So this fanfic will be a collection of short stories, or snippets. They will be updated when a fantastic idea hits my friend, Thatx1xChick, or me, RosemarieAlexandra. The stories won't necessarily connect to each other, but if your mind makes sense of it then who am I to stop you being creative? If you have any questions about anything, we'll answer them the best we can when a new chapter is published.
Without farther adieu, let the story begin!

Korra POV (At practice in the gym)
"Why do we have to practice so early?" I asked with a yawn. "The morning is evil.''
"You ask that every day, and I say the same thing." Mako retorted in exasperation. "We are the rookies, so we have the worst practice time. So just deal with it and stop complaining!"
"You deal with it!" I countered as I received the heavy throw.
Bolin braced himself, anticipating for me to slam the ball into his chest like I do every time we argue about practice sessions, but today I chucked the ball back at Mako. Luckily for Mako, he was able to dodge it .
"Nice try, but you're going to have to try a lot harder then that." Mako said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh no..." I heard Bolin mutter as his eyes flickered between Mako and me. My expression could only be described in two words... P****d off! I quickly composed myself and responded.
"Fine, if that's how it's going to be, take your best shot city boy."
"You're on."
"Guys, don't do this." Bolin was slowly backing behind a large pile of earth disks, not wanting to get caught in the middle of the impending war.
We were no longer listening. Mako and I were crouched down in low stances, circling each other in a dangerous dance. Our eyes locked right before I sent a flaming ball of fire right at his face. Mako moved quickly, deflecting my attack, and sent it right back at me. I broke through the flame, landing on my feet right in front of him. Attempting a round house kick, I flung my body in the familiar motion. When my foot was seconds from connecting with his collar bone, his hand shot up and grabbed my ankle. Mako then proceeded to flip me across the gym, but not before he made sure I had caught my balance first. Weird.
As our tempers heated, so did the room from all the fire-bending going on. We were both sweating profusely, causing our clothes to cling to our bodies as if they were a second skin. Mako ripped off his shirt, deeming it a hindrance. I couldn't help but stare at his defined abs, which rippled with every movement.
"Wow, Mako is hot..." The words slipped out of my mouth before I could even process them. What was wrong with me?
The fight continued for another half an hour, as did my absurd thoughts concerning my team mate.
"All right guys we've got to go. Our training time is over." He stood a couple feet from a panting Mako and me with his arms crossed over his chest.
Neither one of us wanted to admit defeat, so Mako shot me a look. His eyes asked a silent question, 'Truce?'. With a sharp nod we all left the gym.
(Later that day on air temple island)
''Alright, that's enough training for today.'' Tenzin said carrying a sleeping Meelo in his arms. The little guy had been jumping around, cheering me on all morning.
"Finally!" I exclaimed. Unceremoniously, I fell to the ground, exhausted from fire ferret practice and airbending training. Rolling onto my stomach and resting my head on my folded arms, I let out a content sigh. But a couple of seconds later, a familiar voice pierced my ear drums.
"Hey Korra, are you going to tell us more about the handsome fire-bender boy?" asked Jinora excitedly. Her question caught me by surprise, and I lifted my head to look at her.
"He's driving me crazy." I said, dropping my head again and groaning.
"Does he drive you crazy in a bad way, or drive you crazy like you like him?" Ikki continued, jumping up and down while clapping her hands excitedly.
I thought about what I was going to say for awhile, but my delayed answer only fueled their thoughts.
"Oh my Korra he does! He drives you crazy like you love him!" I shot up onto my knees and clamped my hand over Ikki's mouth.
"Ikki! Hush! Someone might hear you!"
Mako was the only thing I could think of lately. Whenever I was around him, my heart would speed up to the point where I was sure I was going to have a heart attack. I shrugged off those feeling always thinking, 'He's my friend, I don't love him. The only reason I get nervous is because I want to prove to him I'm an asset and not a liability to the team. But if I didn't love him where were these random thoughts coming from?
"I think she loves him," Ikki said to Jinora,"and he loves her."
"Really?" I mumbled a little too excitedly as I rose to my feet.
"Mmmmhhhhh, you most defiantly love him."
"Oh yeah, and how do you know?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest, and shifting my weight to my left foot.
"You talk about him in your sleep. We heard you talking about him allllllllll night!" Ikki said, a smug smile twisting her face.
"Yes. You said, and I quote, 'I love you Mako!" said Jinora in a bad interpretation of my voice.
"So, do you really love Mako?" Ikki prompted. She tilted forward on the balls of her feet, expecting something juicy.
"Yes, I love Mako. Now will you two go meditate or something?" I said. They began to giggle, but cut off by whatever or whoever was behind me. Jinora winked at me, Ikki giggled a quick good luck, and then they were gone. Confused I looked behind me, and felt the blood drain out of my face.
"Oh, hey Mako. Come to finish our fight?"I asked praying he did not hear what they, nor what I had said. He shook his head slightly, looking as if he were almost embarrassed about something.
"We shouldn't fight like that anymore... You could have gotten seriously injured... I came to tell you we have practice tomorrow morning at the same time." The slight flush coloring his cheeks deepened each time he stuttered. Mako never stuttered.
"Oh, well thanks...umm if that's all you came over here for then I better go inside. Pema is probably close to finishing dinner..." I said as I turned back around to head to the main house.
"Wait! Korra!" Mako said as he grabbed my wrist, and spun me around to face him.
He cupped my face in his hands, and put his lips to mine. My eyes stayed open for a second in shock, but then closed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Mako pulled me closer, deepening the kiss between us. We parted, but didn't let go of each other. His gorgeous amber eyes bore deep into mine; he seemed to be studying my face. I tried to fight a smile, but failed and opted to bury my face in the red scarf thrown around his neck. When I pulled back, he smiled at me and uttered five words that made my heart soar.
"I love you too, Korra."
Over-joyed, I launched myself into his muscular arms. Mako tensed for a second, but quickly relaxed to wrap around my waist lifting me slightly in an affectionate gesture and set me down again. He held me close, and I rested my head in the crook of his neck until I heard Tenzin calling for me.
"Korra? Dinner is ready!"
"Coming Tenzin! So, training tomorrow morning." I said with dread on the last word, but still with a hint of humor in my voice.
"Yep, bright and early." he teased.
"Yeah, yeah. I got it Team Captain. The morning's still evil..." I muttered to myself.
He chuckled at my words and kiss me once more. We said our goodbyes and parted ways.
Walking back to the house, I mumbled under my breath,
"I guess mornings aren't so bad with Mako... They're still evil though..."
