Car.

"How did I fail my language test? I've been studying nonstop!" Korra was in utter shock from getting an "F" on her last test. She was sitting in the passenger seat of her boyfriend's car with her knees to her chest as she stared at the – almost completely – red marked page.

"You're problem might be that you've been only studying for science. If you want all A's this year Korra, you need for all your classes." Bolin said as he leaned up toward Korra from the backseat.

"Bolin, you're still in trouble." Mako said as he continued driving on.

"Oh ya, that's another thing. How could you say that kind of stuff about me and Mako to the guys?! Don't you guys have anything better to talk about other than who's banging who?!" Korra was practically yelling at Bolin as she turned in her seat. Bolin sat back in his seat and shrunk his head between his shoulders.

"Korra, I'll handle him. But, Bo does have a point about your studying. If you want A's in all classes, you need to study for all classes." Korra pushed out her bottom lip as she knew her boyfriend was right and then sat back in her seat.

After a few minute of a silent car ride, Mako finally pulled into a small parking lot of a rundown, but decent, apartment building. "Ok Bo, when I get back from taking Korra home, you better be doing homework and the TV better not be on. Understand?" Mako looked back at his brother with a raised eyebrow. Bolin tried his hardest to hold back a laugh after listening to the way his brother was talking.

"Yes, mom." Bolin said as he scooted out of the back seat and slamming the door shut before Mako could yell at his response.

Mako was seething mad. He hated it when Bolin called him 'mom'. Bolin only did that to make it his way of saying that Mako was acting more like a parent than a brother, and Mako knew that; but the term still made him mad. His hands were gripped tight on the steering wheel as he continued to let the car stay in the parking lot.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

Mako kept repeating that word in his head to calm down but was soon interrupted by a pair of soft lips on his cheek. "He was just joking City Boy. Now come on, if I don't get home soon Tenzin will have the police hunt you down." Mako turned to see Korra leaning over the arm rest and staring straight at him.

Just one look into Korra's bright blue eyes made Mako's temper disappear and smile spread over his face. "Y-Yeah, I guess you're right." Mako was scratching the spot on his cheek where Korra had kisses him.

Korra fell back in her seat laughing. "Man Mako, you're such an adorable dork. You're adorkable!" As much as he wanted to, Mako couldn't stop the blush that was forming all over his face as he pulled out of the parking lot.


The drive to Korra's house was a little awkward for Mako, but not for Korra who was enjoying messing up Mako's radio. Mako couldn't help but think back to his conversation with his teammates at lunch during the drive. He did like the idea of taking Korra to her parents' house; he hasn't seen her parents since when they came up for Korra's first Pro-Bending match. Mako also liked the idea of having Korra spend the night at his place without Bolin there for once, but the whole idea of being intimate with her was what held him back. Mako kept thinking that if he asked to take his girlfriend to her parents' and have her spend the night at his place the night before would obviously send a red flag flying in her guardian's head and he wouldn't be able to see Korra ever again.

As Mako turned on the street to Korra's house he was taken out of his train of thought by Korra deciding to turn off the radio. "Are you ok?" Mako asked, instantly sensing something was wrong.

"I'm just thinking about what's happened today." Korra didn't look at Mako, knowing that it would be pointless when his eyes were focused on the road. "Every time I think I'm doing great in school, I end up getting something wrong somewhere. Also, if the guys on the team are saying that kind stuff about us, does that mean that maybe other people in the school are talking about it too?

Mako shrugged his shoulders. "Korra, rumors will be rumors. Besides, with how the guys saw me react toward what they said, I'm sure they know that everything was a lie. You don't have to worry."

Korra hugged her legs to her chest as Mako pulled into her drive way. She was trying to decide on something in her mind, but even Korra wasn't sure about what she was deciding on. As she finished trying to figure out what she was thinking, Korra picked up her book-bag from the floor and looked over to Mako. Mako could feel her eyes dig into his being and couldn't help but look and ask what Korra wanted. "What?" Korra looked at Mako with a raised eyebrow. She then closed her eyes and pointed at her pursed out lips. Mako smirked, obviously knowing what she wanted, but wanting to see how far he can string it along without angering his girlfriend. "Your face will stick if you keep it like that."

Korra's eyes shot open and her pursed lips transformed into an angry pout. "I want a goodbye kiss you idiot."

"Why do you need a goodbye kiss, when after ten minutes of dropping you off you'll end up calling, or texting me till late in the night. A goodbye kiss is something you give to each other when you know you won't see, or hear from each other for a period of time." Mako had a huge smirk on his face, telling Korra that he was teasing her. Korra pouted once again before turning toward her door and leaving the car while calling her boyfriend a jerk. Mako couldn't but smile at the first time he didn't give in to his girlfriend's needs.

That was until she knocked on his door window.

Mako looked up to see Korra waiting impatiently for him to roll down the window. With a sigh, he rolled down the window and looked up to her. "What did you forget this-." Mako was instantly cut off by Korra pressing her lips to his. Before Mako could even return the kiss, Korra pulled away and plastered a huge grin on her face.

"I knew I would get my goodbye kiss one way or another."
