Lunch.

Open up, you stupid locker!" Korra yelled as she hit her locker door for the hundredth time – this time leaving a small dent in the locker door. Behind her, Korra heard a familiar laugh approach her. "Shut up, it's not funny!" Korra snapped as she turned to see her boyfriend walking toward her.

Mako laughed as he stopped beside her. "Don't worry; your knight in shining armor is here to save you from the evil dragon." Mako moved in front of Korra's locker as Korra rolled her eyes at his comment. Mako then entered Korra's locker combination and as he pushed up the knob, he also hit the side of the locker – springing the door wide open.

Mako then smiled and looked down at his angry girlfriend. "Why couldn't you be my bastard in aluminum-foil and let me figure it out myself?" Korra said as she turned toward her messy locker to find her Physical Science binder.

"Now what kind of boyfriend would I be if I did that? Besides, I like to take care of you." Mako said as he leaned down and gave Korra a quick kiss on the forehead before a teacher saw them. "Why are you getting your Physical Science book anyway? Aren't we going to lunch?"

Korra then pulled out a blue lunch box out of her locker. "Tutoring. I didn't do so well on the last couple of test and I didn't fully understand yesterday's lesson."

Mako raised an eyebrow. "I thought I was your tutor."

"After school, you are. During school, I have to go to my teachers to get the credits. I'll see you later, ok?" Korra then stood on her toes and gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek.

Mako gave her a soft 'Ok' and smiled down at her.

"Well, look who decided to join us for a change. Did your girlfriend finally let you off the leash?" A boy wearing the same lettermen jacket that Mako was wearing said.

"Oh be quiet Hasook. Korra had tutoring; besides we would usually come, but I like to eat lunch alone with her." Mako said as he sat that table with fellow Pro Bending teammates.

"When did you turn into a girl?" Hasook bluntly asked.

"Hey, give him a break. Little sissy-Mako's in love." Another teammate of Mako's said as he ruffled his hair.

"Quit it, would you?" Mako said as he brushed his teammates hand away and then fixed his hair.

"Ok – back to the topic at hand – what is everyone planning to do Christmas Break?" Another one of Mako's teammates asked.

Most of the boys at the table responded with "I'm going out of town to visit family", "My parents are making me stay home", or "I'm going on a vacation with family". Every response was about the dame, until the circle of excuses arrived to the one boy who messed up Mako's hair.

"Well, I'm meeting my girlfriend and spending it with her since my parents are out of town. Hopefully I can book us a hotel room to stay at for the day before Christmas – and throughout the holiday – in the mountains." The boy had a soft smile on his face as he watched himself pick at his lunch.

Why would he need a hotel room? Can't they just go to the mountains for the day or something?

Mako then heard Hasook snicker. "You're planning something aren't you?" Hasook asked the daydreaming boy. The teammate snapped out of his train of thought when hearing Hasook's question.

"Well, I do hope I get a great reward for taking her up there on the first night." The boy said as he scratched the back of his head as light blush appeared on his cheeks.

The first night? Are they sharing a room together?

To get the focus off on him, Mako's embarrassed teammate turned and faced him. "So, Mako, are you planning anything over the break?"

Mako looked over at him after opening his water bottle. "Uh, well, I guess it'll be the same as always. Work, sleep, and exchange gifts with Bo and other people on Christmas day." Mako responded with a shrug.

"Wait, are you not spending any of with Korra? I thought you two became inseparable after that fight you had a while back." A teammate of Mako's – sitting across from him – asked. He was a little confused on why Mako didn't include his girlfriend on his to-do list during the break.

"I can't spend time with Korra over the break. She's going to her parents' the day before Christmas Eve. It's a four hour drive away, so I won't be able to see her until she gets back after New Years." Mako responded before taking a sip of water.

"So then, volunteer to take her and then do her the night before." Hasook bluntly said before taking a bit out of his lunch. Mako nearly choked on his water after hearing Hasook's blunt comment. He let out a number of choking coughs before speaking again.

"W-What?!" Mako asked shockingly while slightly coughing.

Hasook looked at Mako as if he were speaking a different language. "Bolin's planning to go over to a friend's to practice his Earthbending around that time, right? So, you volunteer to take Korra to her parents'. After that, tell her guardians some excuse that will allow her to stay at your place, and then screw her that night. Simple, isn't that what you do when you tutor her? I mean, what other explanation is there to explain why she rides to school with you the day after you tutor her?"

Mako looked at Hasook with wide eyes. "The only reason that happens is that she falls asleep some nights when I would leave the room for something. The other reason she rides to school with me is because I go and pick her up. Why do you idiots think that Korra and I have done it already? I respect her for Spirits' sake." The boys at the table all looked curiously at Mako.

"Really," Hasook asked with a raised eyebrow. "From what Bolin told us you two go at it all night."

Mako's eyes nearly shot out of his head after hearing that his brother was the cause of the misunderstood topic. I'm going to roast Bolin alive, the next second I see him. Mako thought to himself as he pinched at the bridge of his nose.

"Hey guys, you have any room?" Bolin said enthusiastically as he walked up to the table – right on cue.

Mako glared at his brother as everyone else took the message that they have just dug their teammate's grave for him.

Feedback is greatly loved.
