Oh, Junsei definitely clocked that doofus smiling as he moved a little closer and he couldn't help but scoff a little at that eyebrow cock as well.

"What do you mean why?" he asked with a laugh, his icy blue eyes sparkling with mirth as this absolute dork in front of him tried to play off nonchalance. "You're the one who called out to me — at least I'm pretty sure I'm safe to assume that little 'sweetheart' was meant me." He tilted his head, his untied hair shifting as he did while he mimicked Mako's lifted brow. "You're not gonna tell me that I'm wrong, are you?"

[makoxie]

— | | 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐑𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 , ❝ 𝐈 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐘 ? ❞ He was going to play ❛ cool ❜ until it wasn't possible anymore . Regardless , Jun's laugh was music to his ears as icy blue met simmering amber . ❝ Yeah , it was meant for you . You know , you should be careful with that . . . Don't want you getting distracted during matches . ❞ He shifted his weight from his right foot to his left , not 【 quite 】 settling his weight into his hip .

❝ Why do you think something's wrong , and I didn't just want to see you ? ❞ A beat , a broken glance to the right , and then , ❝ . . . Is it that obvious ? ❞

[sumimasu]

@makoxie asked:

❝ Hey , sweetheart . ❞ [ for junsei 🩵❤️ ]

That was new. Nevertheless, it drew a smile out of the waterbender since it didn't sound sarcastic. Junsei hummed in thought as he moved a little closer to Mako, still sporting that smirk paired with a look of curiosity in his eyes. "Hey yourself, hot shot. Did you need something from me? You've got my attention."

[makoxie]

— | | 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐄𝐓 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 for Junsei to hear , and Junsei alone , but with a 【 tenderness 】 that lingered beneath that he hoped the other would catch . When he did , Mako's shoulders 【 lowered 】 as the previous sensation of tenseness rolled away , and was replaced with that sheepish , dorky smile he kept reserved for very few .

❝ Hot shot , huh ? Cute . ❞ Amber eyes dipped momentarily as their distance deliberately shrunk . ❝ Maybe I did . Maybe I didn't , ❞ He cocked his eyebrow , ❝ why ? ❞

[aquarym]

❝ O-kay.... if you say so! ❞

[makoxie]

— | | ❝ I'll watch from right here . ❞

[aquarym]

❝...Dare I ask? ❞

[makoxie]

— | | ❝ I think you should call him that and see what happens . ❞

[aquarym]

Right— sure he is. He's lucky that she hasn't noticed yet, especially when she seems a bit occupied with practicing a few new airbending moves she's adjusting to ; light gusts of winds following her every move, and pumping out quick ones from her fists and beneath her feet from a few kicks. She was barely able to airbend at all anymore, but it felt almost freeing to finally be ablr to pull it off, even if she's still a little clumsy.

[makoxie]

— | | 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 , 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎'𝐒 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 practicing one move after another . She didn't seem as 【 confident 】 as she normally did . Bending that normally carried great 【 strength 】 , was replaced by moves of grace , poise , and Korra's signature 【 clumsiness 】 that Mako secretly found endearing and cute . Another gust of wind blew past , and Mako's eyes flickered in amusement . The corner of his lips tugged upwards to reveal something that lingered between a smile and a smirk as he 【 finally 】 stepped out from the shadows of his hiding place .

❝ You know , you should be careful . You almost took my head off , just now . ❞

[anitagaughan]

Just finished watching Korra… WOW!! Been watching the Avatar series back since 2006? Or whenever it was, and just had to do some sort of fan-animation for it! This show never fails to amaze me!

[makoxie]

— | | 𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐒𝐏𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 , he's just admiring @aquarym from afar . There's a difference .

— | | 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓 . Cute ? Sure . Difficult ? 【 Constantly 】 . But , sometimes , people do crazy things for the ones they love . For Mako , Korra was no exception to that rule .

❝ You want one kiss before practice ? Is that what you were staring at me for ? ❞ There was an edge to his words , but the same edge that was present , also softened as he began to show the little smile he kept just for her .

❝ And , ❞ he dragged his arms into a folded position across his chest , left eyebrow cocked upward , ❝ you couldn't have just said that . . . because ? ❞

"Makooooooo," he drew out the firebender's name. "Water's important! I know you're expecting me to go on about how it benefits your skin and everything — and it does! — but did you know that it's important for your big, beautiful brain, too? If you're dehydrated, so is your brain! Do you know what that means? Brain fog! Memory troubles! More bad stuff!" He then let out an exasperated huff. "I'm just looking out for your well-being!"

[makoxie]

— | | ❝ Wuuuuuu . . . ❞ He dragged out 【 just 】 as far , and almost as annoyed . He stood quietly , tongue 【 swirling 】 his mouth as he watched the way Wu went on and on about how important water was for 【 many 】 reasons . In fact , it felt like he had an essay in his back pocket about this very thing . When he was done , Mako's eyes just glanced from Wu's lips , to his eyes . ❝ My brain is fine . . . I don't want to know how you found it to be beautiful when it's in my skull . ❞ He stopped his words , tone shifting to something a little . . . Softer . ❝ I'll be fine . I promise . You don't have to worry about me so much , alright ? ❞

[kingwu]

what if harmonic convergence granted me waterbending like how the airbenders got airbending randomly

would that help my boyfriend stay hydrated or

[kingwu]

HE SIGHED ABOUT IT.

[reigningmuses]

She's written him letters, asked him to lie to let her hide for months, and now she's finally back in Republic City. Truth be told, she seeks him out first before anyone else. There's so much she has to thank him for and she's missed him in general. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that was too much time apart...

Korra takes in a deep breath and knocks on his door. She even brought food, but her eyes are misty already when she hears his voice. Raava spare her, she really missed that wonderful stupid voice.

"Mako!"

When he opens the door, she's quick to hug him. Ignoring that she probably should have said hello first, or at least, give him a heads up. No, she just forgets everything else and hugs him. She wanted to make sure he's really there. That she's not dreaming this for the billionth time in a row.

"...I, uh, hope I'm not interrupting anything." Korra whispers after a moment, and gently pulls back. Her smile nervous; and her hair slightly fluffier due to he wind and it's new cut.

— | | 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 , 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐅𝐀𝐑 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 . He should know , he kept them safe in a bar 【 deeply 】 hidden from the wandering eyes of his baby brother . Every letter that came his way , Mako made 【 sure 】 to answer as soon as he was able . If it took him longer than a day , he apologized and made it up to her by sending her something with them — a treat that she always used to love , or a crushed flower from the park they fell asleep together in . He cared about her . . . More than anyone would ever be able to squeeze out of him .

. . . Well , anyone but Korra .

When the day FINALLY came that she was coming home , it felt sort of . . . 【 unreal 】 . No , not sort of . It 【 was 】 unreal . Writing letters with someone miles away , someone who asked you to 【 lie 】 for their betterment , made things feel . . . Different . Not always a bad different , but the kind of different that made Mako feel like they had 【 more 】 to talk about than a few letters would allow .

Mako didn't talk himself out of opening the door when he heard the knock . His heart was FAR too excited to ignore , far too 【 eager 】 to know what her hugs feel like again . . . And far , far too nervous to see what she looked like after all this time . Regardless of 【 everything 】 that raced through his mind , Mako opened the door . He didn't even have time to register that she said his name in that stupid charming way that lingered with 【 excitement 】 when she saw him . And Mako . . . ? Mako just smiled into her hair as his arms instinctively wrapped around her waist , and he subtly lifted her from the ground the way he 【 always 】 did when they hugged .

❝ Hey , Korra . . . ❞ He whispered against her head . His amber eyes closed as something 【 peaceful 】 settled over his entire body . It had been so long that he held her like this , smelled her hair under his nose . . . Maybe it was stupid , but he ALMOST forgot what she felt like . Though , this was Korra they were talking about — she was impossible to forget .

As she pulled back , he let her , setting her carefully down so that his amber hues could look down into those calming , arctic blues .

❝ No , you're alright . It's - . . . It's good to see you , Korra . ❞ His eyes 【 subtly 】 looked her over . A new haircut that probably came with a story . The look of exhaustion in her eyes that told him she wasn't herself , but was still keeping it TIGHT under wraps . . . even from him . Either way , he just wanted to get her inside . . . He had to know that this moment wasn't another dream , despite that it 【 felt 】 like it was .

❝ Do you want to come inside ? ❞

[flamecarrier]

🌸~ Of course she didn’t see him… poor eyesight. Sure, Mei-Ling would’ve gone back and found another escape route, but… well, she thought she’d managed to fool both her personal bodyguard (who was hot, hotter, hottest, by the way) and the palace guard. Fooling the guard wasn’t hard. Fooling him? That took actual planning.

She leant out the window, trying to figure out her next move, squinting as if that would somehow fix her vision. Nope. With no depth perception, there was a real chance she’d break something—including her neck. Not exactly worth it… right? Apparently it was, because she wasn’t retreating. Quite the opposite.

And then there she went; her high heels slipped on the ridge, and she let out a sharp yelp.

Whoops.

— | | 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐃 . 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 , 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 that he wasn't . Granted , her little trick to fool him had worked . . . To a 【 degree 】 . However , it only worked for so long . Mostly because , for Mako , this wasn't his first rodeo of watching someone royal think they could outsmart him . The only difference was , this time , she kept his attention as more than just as his Charge .

So , from a distance , he stood watching her . He watched her lean , creating an 【 unsafe 】 angle from where she stood . She thought she was clever , she thought she was smart . She thought she was — 【 falling 】 .

Without ANY hesitation , Mako moved to beneath that window . He wasn't going to let her get hurt . Nor , was he about to answer to her 【 grandfather 】 about how she fell out of a window . He positioned himself directly under her , so even as she did fall , he made sure that she landed 【 directly 】 into his arms .

❝ Are you done falling for me , yet ? ❞ Yes , it was cheesy . However , she was doing something cheesy , that deserved something just as cheesy in return .
