"This is it." Korra whispered to herself as she nervously walked up the stairs to Bolin and Mako's place. "There's no turning back. I will let him know how I feel again."

Korra was going to do it. She was going to tell Mako, the handsome and most skilled firebender she's ever known, about how she felt…again.

Flashback
During the uprisings of the Equalists, Korra was planning to leave for battle without Bolin and Mako from ever finding out. Only the plan failed, for Mako tracked her down and found her dressed in her parka about to hop on Naga. She turned to see a very angry Mako who was breathing heavily from the run. Korra didn't understand what on earth his purpose was for being here.

"Mako…" She whispered as her wide sapphire blue eyes widened. "What are you-"

"I should be asking you that," Mako started as he regained his breath. "Korra…I saw the note you left."

He took out a scrap piece of paper, uncrumble it and read aloud.

" Hey Mako and Bolin. Sorry I wasn't able to hang out with you guys today. But something came up, and I had things to take care off. Catch you later…
Oh by the way…
Haha I know this may sound pretty odd and mushy, but just wanted to-Thank you for everything. I hope you guys know you're the best friends anyone could ask for! Haha I just thought you might like to know since I don't express myself all that well and quite frankly I'm not a sugary kind of gal.

See ya soon!
-Korra."

Korra eyes gazed down and slightly blushed. "So? What's your point? Is it wrong for a girl to say something nice to her friends?"

Mako narrowed his eyes. "Don't change the subject. Do you honestly think I'm stupid? This note reeked of something very suspicious."

Korra bit her lip for a moment but then gave out a laugh. "Yes. I do think you're a completely stupid and you are just paranoid. Go home Mako. I bet Bolin's getting worried sick about you. "

"Oh I'm paranoid, huh?" The firebender mocked as he stepped closer to her with his hands on his pocket. "So what are you doing now?"

Korra closed her eyes and turned to face Naga. "For your information Mako, I was planning to go to Air Temple Island since Tenzin's been-"

"Don't lie to me Korra…You wouldn't have taken Naga off the island in the first place if that were true." Mako snapped as she heard his footsteps coming nearer and nearer.

Korra turned to face him on her side and gave out a forced laugh. "Naga needed to roam around the city. She needed to stretch her legs and Air Temple Island isn't big enough for her to give her the full impact of running. So I took her here and before you ask about my parka, I got cold Mako. That is all. Like I stated earlier to you Mister Hat Trick, you worry too much. We are going back-"

"Don't you dare tell me all those lies, Korra. Look at me." He said as she practically felt him loaming over her. "Korra, tell me the truth…You're going after Amon aren't you?"

She didn't respond and for a moment a light breeze was felt amongst the two friends. She then turned and smiled. "So what if I am? Huh? What are you gonna do about it? "

At this point Mako held out his hands and his face became soft and gentle. It was one of those rare looks that melted the young waterbender's heart.

"Korra," He started softly only to be replaced with panic. "You can't do this Korra. Amon…He almost killed Bolin and we almost lost our lives too. What if he catches you, keeps you as a captive, or worse what if he kill-"

Korra smirked. "Admit it."

Mako raised his eyebrows. "What?"

Korra leaned in toward Mako as her face turned to her left with that goofy smug grin of hers. "Admit it…You like me."

Mako turned away from Korra. "You're being so childish Korra. But worse than that, you are hiding your feelings."

At this point Korra's smile vanished into one completely serious.

"Korra, I know you think because you're the Avatar you have to be brave and strong just like everyone expects you to be." Mako started as he stared at the dock wooden floors. "But when I look at you…I don't see the Avatar. I see you. Not Avatar Korra. Just Korra. Korra…The Water Tribe girl, who tries to so hard to be the best at everything and showing no one her weakness. Korra, the Watertribe girl who secretly is a very sensitive and at times a very scared girl. A girl, whom despite of this, is determined to protect the innocent and her friends even if it means sacrificing her own life. The same Water Tribe girl whom I consider very important in my life. "

Korra felt her eyes watering as Mako continued to gaze down as he shyly added. "So all in all, yes Korra. I admit it. I do like you. Besides my brother, You have become someone so dear to me. So that's why I'm asking you to please don't-"

At that moment Korra couldn't take it. She knew her eyes would betray her by shedding tears. But she didn't. Instead, she closed her eyes, holding the tears in, leaned and tip toed to him as he talked, and kissed him.

She knew she caught him off guard and it seemed pretty selfish but she didn't care. She knew deep in her heart that this could possibly be the last chance she would ever get to express her feelings to Mako.

As she pulled away from the kiss, she turned away from him, said. "I'm sorry…I just had to do it. Before…Goodbye-Mako. "

She then ran and hopped on Naga without looking back at a shocked Mako and speed through the streets and vanishing in the corner.

Flashback End

Korra blushed as she remembered that kiss. After that moment, Korra immediately found one of Amon's followers and tracked him as well as other Equalists. Apparently, Amon and Korra faced each other and Korra nearly died if it wasn't for Tenzin and Lin Bei Fong. Amon and several of his followers escaped quickly before Tenzin and Cheif Bei Fong could even speak to him.

She woke up the next day, in the care of Pema and the rest of Tenzin's children who were all relieved Korra woke up. According to Pema, after she left Mako standing on the pier of Yue Bay, He went straight to Air Temple Island to notify Tenzin at Korra's impulsive decision. Immediately, Tenzin got his sky bison and flew Mako to gather his brother, as well as to notify Lin Bei Fong about the news.

All in all, it was all thanks to Mako, that she was alive.

Neither of the two discussed the kiss at first. After Korra was healed from her wounds, the two felt awkward at first since they didn't know how to react towards one another anymore. However, they both had a silent agreement to never bring up the subject. They focused on capturing Amon since it was the most important thing on their minds instead of something as trivial as teen romance drama.

A few months have passed since and now about a week ago, Korra along with her comrades captured and defeated Amon. The city rejoiced and Avatar Korra now received a lot of praise and honor for bringing about peace again in Republic City.

To make things better, because the part that the bothers played in Amon's defeat, the two men received the highest honors for their bravery. They were given a lot of money and high job positions as Bending instructors to teach in the most elite bending academy in Republic City. Mako and Bolin were thrilled at how their life was going to change and how for once in their life; they will have their own house to call home.

Korra was even offered a position in Republic City as honorary protector of Republic City and even had a house and statue made in her honor. Korra, however, was slightly torn. Now that she could Airbend and had done her duty to the citizens of Republic City, she could go back home to the Southern Water Tribe. She knew her people still wanted her to live there and to help rule and protect the tribe side by side along with the Southern Royal family. Korra also admits she misses her parents and master Katara and wishes to visit them.

Still, apart from this decision, she had to get the most important thing done first.

Now that everything was at peace and harmony again, Korra decided, she would pick up right where she left off. The kiss. She was going to do it. She was going to tell Mako about her strong feelings for him. There was nothing to hold them back.

She began to turn the knob in Mako's room.

'Here we go. The moment of truth. There's no turning back now.'

But the moment she opened the door, her thoughts began to jumble as her eyes widened at the sight before her.

In the room, was Mako and Asami Sato, (the overly spoiled rich girl whom is an amazing skilled nonbending fighter)kissing.

Mako and Asami pulled away from the kiss quickly and Mako eyes widened as he looked at Korra.

"Korra! No it's not what it looks like!" Mako stammered but was cut short by Asami.

"Oh my… I er…hi Korra. We were just…" Asami started as she blushed.

Korra, however, was not listening to Asami's rambling but instead was trying so hard to stand. She felt as she swallowed a dried pill and her heart felt it weighed a million tons.

But the heartbroken Avatar, managed to pull off a smile and even a nervous chuckle. "Wow! Hahaha This is awkward. I'm sorry Mako and Asami. I just wanted to invite everyone to Dinner as my treat. For you know, helping kicking Amon's butt and all. But I can see you two were busy so, I'm just gonna try to find Bolin and-headoutokay!"

The last words, came out cracky, but she didn't care. Korra had to get out as fast as she could. She no longer felt the need to hold back the tears that were dying to slip out. She bolted as she heard Mako's voice calling out her name over and over again but bothering to turn to look back.

For once in her life, Korra understood the pain of being a normal teenage girl in love and what was it like to get your heart shattered into a million of pieces.

'What was I thinking…Of course. It was Asami…It was always Asami. The very beautiful, rich, and very skilled girl, who got along with him so easily. I was a fool to think he would ever consider me as a possible love interest. I was only kidding myself…I should have never kissed him. I wish I never had these feelings for him. I need to go. Get out of here…'

With that last thought, Avatar Korra ran passed the pier, jumped into the bay, and swam deep within the water toward Air Temple Island, deciding that it was time to go back home in the Southern Water Tribe.

Ending Note: Poor Korra! D: I wonder what will happen next!
