The next day everything came to a head. They made it through warm-up and started on formation practice, attacking moving targets without running into each other. Korra sometimes lost track of Mako and Bolin, more used to bending by herself. This time, though, they managed to make it through a full three minutes of moving around each other and sending attacks toward the targets without anyone bumping into anyone else.
“Now you’re getting the hang of probending!” Bolin grinned and moved to congratulate Korra. Which he did by dipping her and kissing her passionately.
Mako was furious. “What are you doing? We’re in the middle of training!”
Bolin pulled Korra back up and angrily turned to face Mako. “Oh, so you can kiss her during training but I can’t?”
“I didn’t kiss her during training, we were fini--"
“Well we’re finished with this bi--"
“You can’t just--"
“Stop!” Korra pulled water from a barrel and dropped it over the brothers, drenching them and stopping their argument. “Are you seriously fighting about this? Don’t I get a say in when I want to be kissed?” The look Korra gave the two made them shuffle a little ways away from her.
She sighed and moved closer to toss an arm around each of their shoulders. “You two’ve been acting weird. I like both of you; you don’t have to go around impressing me.”
Mako and Bolin exchanged glances over her head.
“Or wait, is this one of those sibling things?” Korra gave them a very unimpressed look. “Trying to be better than your brother will get you nowhere.”
Then a though came to her and she let go and of them. “Is this going to be a problem? That I like both of you?” She frowned. “We could go back to just being friends.”
“No, Korra.” Mako’s worried face reassured Korra that that wouldn’t be the case. “We just…” He motioned for Bolin to explain since he was better at it.
“We know you like us. Both. Equally.” Bolin grabbed hold of Korra’s hands and looked down at them. “Maybe--well, for me, it started just making sure you knew that I wanted you. Same for Mako. Then we just wanted to keep up with each other.” He brought one hand up to scratch his head guiltily. “Then I think I went too far today. Sorry.”
Mako nodded and reached out to lightly touch Korra’s shoulder. “Sorry.” He let the hand drop. “It won’t happen again.”
Korra rolled her eyes and pulled Mako and Bolin in for a hug. “I don’t mind the gifts and unexpected kisses. There’s just no reason for it to be a competition between the two of you. I’m not a prize. I want to be kissed because you want to kiss me, not because you think you need to to keep up.” She let go of them and cracked her knuckles with an evil grin. “Is that understood? You do this again and I’m going to have to find new teammates because you’ll be too scared to go back in that ring once I’m done with you.”
“Like you could take me and Mako,” Bolin scoffed.
“Oh yeah?”
Mako smirked in response and darted forward to give Korra a quick peck before jumping away and sending a blast of fire her way.
(The verdict was that if Korra were solely a waterbender, Mako and Bolin would have won. But of course, Korra didn’t like to lose and they were all bruised and singed by the end when they collapsed into bed and curled together.)
