The first time Korra had an idea that anything unusual was going on was towards the end of one of their practice sessions. For the past couple of days, she had found trinkets left by Mako on top of her equipment when she arrived and Bolin had kept giving her gifts before she left and returned to Air Temple Island. This session had started no differently.
She had begun trading bending tips with the brothers and alternating between them every other day. Today was firebending.
Mako used his foot to nudge Korra’s right foot closer to her left. “Feet a little tighter. You almost want to be standing straight. Now try.” Korra narrowed her eyes at the fireproof target. She took two weaving steps forward in quick succession before jabbing forward with her left then right and following it up with a roundhouse kick. This time instead of being pushed back just twenty feet as it had before, the target flew all the way to hit the wall of the gym.
“Yes!” Korra jumped and put her hands up. “Finally!” She looked at Mako and pushed into him with her shoulder. “And you said I’d take longer. Shows you!”
Mako lowered his head with a small smile. “I guess you did. Good job.” He brought one hand up to Korra’s cheek and leaned down to fit their mouths together. Normally, Mako only gave quick kisses when Bolin was around, but this time the kiss lasted much longer than usual.
When he pulled away, he headed out, raising a hand in farewell. “I’m going to go take a nap. See you tomorrow, Korra.”
Korra watched him go before turning to Bolin who quickly dropped the suspicious look he had been giving Mako. “What’s up with your brother?”
Bolin shrugged. “No idea.” He clapped Korra on the shoulder. “You wanna go out or just head back to the Air Temple?”
Korra pulled away with a sheepish grin. “Master Tenzin says that if I’m going to spend so much time here practicing all the other elements, I must have enough time to do more airbending practice.” She started to run off towards the washroom and called back over her shoulder, “Maybe later!”
(Korra couldn’t make it later so Bolin instead planned for the next day. He’d show Mako.)
