Short and Fluffy. Please Read and Review! Enjoy :D


By the time they got back to the village, it was past midnight and the lantern festival was over. Everyone has retreated back into their respective living spaces and turned in for the night.

"It's a shame we missed the festival." Mako said as they approached the village.

"Yeah… I was really looking forward to it too." Korra said, defeated. Her pout was emerging from her lips.

"Ahh, I know how much you wanted to go. I'm sorry we missed it."

"It's okay, I've seen it before, I just… I just wanted to share it with you. That's all."

Mako was ashamed. Korra spent all afternoon preparing to share this special viewing of the Southern Lights with him, and he let her down. It hit her so close to home, Mako was tearing himself up on the inside. He looked at the dull lanterns. They were still hung up; they were just unlit. It was then that Mako got an idea.

Mako stopped walking as they approached the center of the village. "Close your eyes." Mako commanded, "and no peeking."

Korra turned to her boyfriend, confused. "What? Why?"

"Just trust me on this. I'll be by your side the entire time. Please, close your eyes."

After staring him down for a minute, Korra obeyed. When he was done double-checking that her eyes were closed, Mako spotted all the places where the lanterns were and planned his attack. With a deep breath, he performed a bunch of fire bending combinations and lit the lanterns one by one. He rolled across the snow and kicked his feet into the air to light the last two that were at a steeper angle. After he completely lit all the lanterns, he returned to Korra's side. Korra could sense that there was light; it shined through her eyelids. As a smile crept up on her face, she felt Mako's arm wrap around her waist when he returned.

"Okay, now open them." Korra's eyelids slid up and her eyes began taking in the sight before her. The lanterns were all lit and her and Mako were at the center of it all. The brightness of the lights made your pupils hurt, but after a second of discomfort a wide grin spread across Korra's cheeks. She was smiling like an idiot, but she didn't care. Korra spun around to see everything. The warm glow of the lanterns didn't twinkle, they were emulating rays like the sun. After surveying the scene before her, Korra turned to her boyfriend with her goofy grin. She got up on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his, only their lips touching. Mako sighed into their tender kiss and pulled back with a smirk.

"Thank you Mako. It's stunning. And I think I like it better like this, just the two of us." Korra said as she wound her arms around her boyfriend. Mako automatically hugged Korra back, unable to wipe the smile from his face.

"You're very welcome. And I like it like this too. It's like our own getaway. And that's not even the most beautiful part of it."

"Oh? And do tell me, what is the most beautiful part of it?"

"I get to do this!" Mako exclaimed. He turned Korra's upper body around causing her to lean back as he dipped her body, supporting her weight in his arms as one of her legs flew up. It was like the two were swing dancing or something. Mako then smiled at Korra's surprise at being dipped and kissed her with has much gratitude he had. He had the girl of his dreams in the most romantic atmosphere in her hometown all to himself.

Both Mako and Korra deepened the kiss. It was set up to be one that sent sparks flying. In fact, they were so lost into the kiss they failed to hear the approaching sound of footprints. Before the two new it, they were being lathered in warm, heavy saliva. Mako almost dropped Korra, but she was also supported by his knee. The two broke away from their kiss and saw the one and only Naga. Naga was back, without a single scratch on her.

"Naga!" Korra and Mako both yelled as they hugged her, snuggling their faces into her warm fur. The polar bear barked once in joy and licked each of them once more.

"Naga, do you have any idea how much trouble you caused Mako? I told you to take care of him, not to go find yourself a boyfriend!" Mako knew Naga couldn't exactly understand Korra, but it looks like she knew precisely why Korra was upset. Wait, did she just say boyfriend?

"Uh, Korra. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I hear you just say boyfriend?"

"Oh, yeah." Korra admitted, almost blushing. "That howl you heard, it was a mating call… That's why Naga ran off. Her innate instincts you know?"

"Her-Her what? How could you possibly know that?"

"It's how I found Naga. The mother of Naga went off after she heard that same howl. I saw it happen and got scared, but Naga sniffed me out. I bended the snow around her feet to stop her, but she was too strong. I used some fire too, but at 6 years old, it wasn't that much fire. I guess Naga was amused because followed me home when it was clear that she wasn't going to hurt me. That's how I am the only one to ever tame a polar bear dog."

The only thing Mako could say was "Oh."

"Come on, City Boy. It's not that out of the blue."

"You're telling me that taming a wild polar bear dog, one of the most dangerous creatures in the world, at the age of 6 is not so out of the blue?! Especially since it must have looked like Naga was kidnapped? Aren't moms crazy about their cubs?"

"Well yes, but Naga left for me, I didn't make her. And plus, we bonded, growing up together." Korra was amused by her boyfriend's befuddlement, it was kind of adorable.

"Now you know that even as a child, I was pretty kick ass." Korra purred with a wink before catching her boyfriend's lips in a surprise kiss. Almost completely forgetting his awe, Mako melted into the kiss. It all gooey and passionate and stuff until they were interrupted by Naga scooping them up and running back home.
