Obviously Irosami is the chef's kiss of all rare pairs, but what other rare pairs do you enjoy? What's your favorite crack ship?

Hoo boy. Here we go.

The problem is, there are pairs I enjoy writing, pairs I enjoy reading, and pairs I enjoy specifically because there is someone I love reading who writes this pair phenomenally or just throws their whole heart into it. There are also different levels of enjoyment, from "will die for them" to "will read if I come across it" to "appreciate it exists" to "like it better than other pairs." So this is an inexact science at best. I'll do what I can.

Foaming at the mouth thinking of them, it's canon:

June x Colonel Mongke Lin Beifong x Lightning Bolt Zolt Toph Beifong x Satoru Tahno x Ginger

Favorite crack ships:

Ursa x The Boulder Wing Beifong x Hasook Hiroshi Sato x Firelord Izumi

Rare ships I love for the drama/asthetic/sheer comedic or tragic potential:

Korra x Amon Korra x Tarrlok Tahno x Korra Bolin x Korra (so basically all the Korra ships go here I see) Jet x Ty Lee Lin Beifong x Bumi Mako x Kuvira Tahno x Prince Wu Baatar Jr x Eska Iroh II x Kuvira

Rare ships I love because a talented creator made something amazing and now I can't help but ship it: Zhao x Ty Lee Zhao x Yue Jet x Yue Toph Beifong x Kanto Wan x Korra Mai x Piandao Mako x Iroh II Mako x Jinora Mako x Lin Beifong Korra x Kuvira Toph x Aang Sokka x Azula Ikki x Huan Beifong Lt. Jee x Ursa Lu Ten x Yue Smellerbee x Longshot Amon's Lieutenant x Daw

I'm sure I'm forgetting some ships here, too. There are so many wonderful rarepairs in the world, and so many amazing creators making me love them.

Aside from Hasooks, do you have any favorite places to eat in Republic City? Maybe in Ba Sing Se?

In Republic City, there's a food stand that is my next favorite place to eat. I don't remember what it's called and it's barely in the same place twice, so it's usually by accident when I eat there. But they're better than so many other restaurants! I'm going to go look for them now...

In Ba Sing Se, it's my grandma's house, no competition!

(can we be friends?) - mako x reader

pairing: mako x reader

wc: 1.2k

warning: none :)

taglist: @missmorosis @biqherosix @draqondance

could you be my best friend?

lets hang out every weekend

“makkkoooooo.” you dragged out your friends name as you stepped into the pro bending gym, minutes after the sun had risen. on any other day of the week, your brother would be accompanying you to his team’s practice but it was sunday so they had the day off.

you quickly scanned the room and pouted slightly when you realised the fire bender was still up in the loft of the arena.

“in the last month you’ve only been late once, proud of you for keeping your streak up.” you spun around a smile on your face as soon as you heard his voice and were met with your best friend.

“well someone’s got to be here on time, you’re a minute late.” you teased as you embraced your friend, giving him a little extra squeeze when he wrapped his arms around you.

“we don’t even have a set time y/n, we literally said right when the sun rises.” he laughed while he placed his on your shoulder in order to return the squeeze. you could feel his chest shake with the laughter making you smile a little.

“yeah well you were still late for our sunday breakfast, and you live in this damn arena!” you exclaimed as you both separated. you looked up at him with a teasing sign and he simply rolled his eyes.

“come on, i’m starving.” he grabbed your hand and just like you did every weekend, you went down to the local fire nation bakery to get breakfast and watch republic city wake up.

we’re driving every night

stare at people that we like

you waited outside the cactus juice bar for mako to finally come out. he insisted on going to the bathroom before you two went out for your weekly night drive around republic city on your motorcycle. you stared at the sato mobiles pass in front of you, the stretch between each of them becoming bigger and bigger as everyone went home for the night.

“okay! i’m here.” you were broken out of your trance as mako closed the door to the popular bar behind him, wrapping his signature red scarf around him.

“took you long enough.” you teased. unbeknownst to you, the firebender had taken extra time to fix his hair and eyebrows to try to impress you, he did it every week when you’d spend the day together. he would never express his feelings for you in order to not only preserve your friendship but his friendship with your older brother, hasook, who just happened to be his teammate.

he rolled his eyes and gave you a small punch in the shoulder, unaware of how to react to that which just made you laugh at how emotionally dumb your friend was.

“im driving.” he exclaimed as you started to sit in the front of your motorcycle. you rose an eyebrow, knowing that he’d see it thanks to the street lamps providing some sort of light in the night streets.

“hasook will kill me if he finds out but show me what you got big boy.” you excitedly said. he’d driven it once a couple of months ago when you first started your sunday tradition but as soon as your brother found out, he gave you an entire lecture as to why only you should drive it and that mako would probably crash it, oh well.

you threw him the extra helmet before clipping yours on. he mirrored you then took his place in the front as you scooted backwards to give him space. while he gripped the handles tightly, you unconsciously had a tight grip around his own waist.

before starting the engine he noticed your grip around his waist and wondered why it was so tight, were you really that scared of his driving

“you know you don’t have to suffocate me.” he joked, slightly turning his head back to see a small blush dust your cheeks as you mumbled an apology and loosened your embrace. he immediately regretted saying that as he realised that he kind of liked your tight embrace as it meant that you were closer to him.

the sheer embarrassment of that moment made you want to cuddle your head into his back but your helmet prevented you from doing so. you closed your eyes as he started the engine and drove off.

within minutes you felt a serene sensation overcome you, the wind of the night air was cool on your skin and was an incredible and relaxation sensation.

mako shot a glance over his shoulder and caught a glimpse of the state you were in and his heart felt warm. god did he wish he knew how to tell you how beautiful you were and how much he loved spending time with you. he would give everything up if it meant that he could look at you, feeling completely free, forever.

could you be my best friend?

ill tell you all my secrets

“can i tell you something?” you asked, tearing your gaze away from the stars and turning your full body to face him.

he kept his eyes on the sky but bummed as a way to let you know he was listening. his heart rate picked up slightly at the question, unsure of where the conversation would lead.

“sometimes i wish hasook would just, i don’t know, stop being so protective of me.” you confessed, a sigh leaving your lips at the thought of your brother. you continued your rant. “like, first of all, the story with the motorcycle. it’s mine and i trust you to drive, why does he get to dictate who drives it. he’s also said he didn’t fully appreciate our weekly meet-ups, as if it had anything to with him! you’re my best friend, i get to do whatever i want with you and he shouldn’t get a say!”

your voice had risen higher then you’d like to. with a cringe, you rolled back onto your back to mirror mako looking at the stars. mako contemplated what to answer, he didn’t want to seem against you but he understood where your brother came from. he did have to admit that the best friend part made his heart warm but also made it hurt, he’d never be more than a friend in your eyes.

“it’s fine, you don’t have to answer, i just needed to get it off my chest.” you finally said after silence had fallen between the two of you, slightly embarrassed at your stupid feelings.

“no, no it’s okay.” mako reassured, turning his head to admire your side profile as you looked at the stars.

“i understand where your brother is coming from though, i feel the same way about bolin. if anything would happen to him, i just don’t know what i would do.” it was now his turn to confess, his eyes searching for a sign of your understanding.

you turned to face him once again and met his eyes as a smile crept up on your face.

“it’s funny because i think it’s cute how protective you are of bo, but detest hasook for acting that way.” you giggled, a sound that made mako grin from ear to ear.

god was he head over heels for you. you both would end your time together by riding out of the city and find some grass to stargaze on. some times, the stargazing was silent and simply content with enjoying each other’s presence, other times, you both shared your secrets and whatever was on your mind. he wished he could tell you this secret that he held so close to his heart.

one day he would, one day he’d be more than your best friend, that’s what he liked to tell himself.

could you be my best friend? can we be friends?

Caught up with Blades in the Dark recently on twitch.tv/warpedlamp and it’s so freaking cool and the whole dark crime aesthetic is right up my edgy alley. The latest episode’s downtimes were both endearing and hysterical so I had to draw little snippets of them! What a crazy lovable gang they are.

i love you too - mako x reader

Title: I Love You Too.

Pairing: Mako x Reader

Word Count: 1062

Summary: Mako tries to bail on your date and you get into a fight.

Warnings: yelling, fighting, crying. If there’s any more, just let me know.

You sat with Mako and the rest of Team Avatar around a circular table inside Narook's Seaweed Noodlery. Mako laughed as Korra told a joke about fish, or something along those lines. You weren’t really paying attention, as you were too busy watching Mako. You were so unbelievably lucky to have him as your boyfriend. His laugh made your heart soar, and his smile alone could make you forget how to breathe. Kissing him was like getting hit with a wave of serotonin, and having his arms wrapped around you gave you an overwhelming sense of home. 

You and mako had started dating about a month after he joined the Fire Ferrets. You actually met at one of his games. He saw you in the crowd, and from the moment he approached you, you were head over heels in love with him. He asked you to go to lunch with him, and you two immediately clicked. You supported him in everything he did, and he was always there for you. He made your brain all fuzzy, but one thing was abundantly clear: you were in love with him. 

You were snapped out of your thoughts by Mako turning to you and smiling. He reached under the table, and grabbed your hand. “Anyway,” he said, “Me and y/n should probably get going. We have a date tonight, and we all know they tend to take forever to get ready.” 

You bid your goodbyes and headed out the doors. Once outside, he stopped and looked at you, concerned. “Are you okay? You didn’t really talk much in there.”

“Yeah, I was just a little distracted.”

“By what?”

You stepped closer to him, so that your noses were practically touching. “You.”

Mako cupped your face and brought your lips gently to his. Fireworks exploded in your chest at the contact. It certainly wasn’t your first kiss, but it still had the exact same affect. 

You pulled away softly and laid your forehead against his. “I love you,” you whispered. “So much.”

“I love you too.”

- - -

When you got back to your shared apartment, you pulled Mako onto the bed and threw his arms around you.

He laughed. “What are you doing?”

“It’s cold outside, and you’re so warm.” 

“That’s fair, I guess.” He pulled you close to his chest and stroked your hair. Mako’s heat engulfed your body, and you felt so safe. Just before you drifted off to sleep, you felt Mako press a soft kiss to your forehead.

- - -

When you awoke, Mako had already gotten out of bed. You just assumed he went to prepare for the date, so you decided to do the same. You got yourself completely ready, so that when it was time to leave, there was no way you would be late. When you stepped out of your room, though, you saw Mako walking out the door.

“Where are you going? We don’t have to leave for at least another hour.”

“The station needs me. There’s a pretty important case.”

“It’s Saturday. You can do it tomorrow. We already have plans.” Your voice pierced the air like a knife. You two hadn’t gone on a date in two months, and Mako was not going to bail on you again.

“Y/n, my job is important-”

“And I’m not? Why can’t you put me first for once? I do everything for you, and all you do is bail on dates with me to go do police stuff that you always end up saying ‘wasn’t that urgent anyway’. Do you even want to spend time with me?”

“I literally cuddled with you an hour ago!”

“You’re only all sweet and cuddly when you have nothing else to do. Then, when something comes along, you’re up and out the door, leaving me by myself.”

“You don’t understand!”

“You’re right, I don’t understand. I don’t understand why you don't even try in this relationship.”

“Because not everything’s about you,” He yelled. “I have other priorities!”

You went silent and started to tear up. He had never yelled at you before. When Mako saw what he had done, he rushed forward to hug you. 

“I’m sorry-”

You pushed him back. “Why am I never good enough for you?”

His tone immediately softened. “What?”

“When Hasook left the team, I offered to be your waterbender, but you didn’t even listen. You just asked Korra instead. Whenever I try to go out with you, you always end up bailing or inviting your friends. I bet you don’t even know why I was so excited for this date, do you?”

He was silent.

“It’s my birthday, Mako. It’s one of the only days of the year when I’m not doing everything for everyone else, and you forgot it.” You looked at him, tears now spilling down onto your cheeks. “Go. You can go work on your super important police business. I’ll just invite Asami to go to dinner with me. I’m not letting you ruin my birthday.” With that, you marched out the door and called Asami.

- - -

When you came home that night, you found Mako sitting in the living room. You ignored him and went straight into the bathroom to get ready for bed, as you had no intention of talking to him.

Mako, however, had different plans. He followed you into the bathroom saying, “Y/n, I’m sorry, please just let me give you an apology.”

You didn’t say anything, just nodded and sat on the sink. 

“I’m so sorry I made you feel like you weren’t good enough. I’m sorry I forgot your birthday. You mean everything to me, and I never meant to make you feel anything less. I’m sorry I let my ambitions get in the way of our relationship, and I never intend to let that happen again. You don’t have to accept my apology because I know that I really hurt you. But If you did choose to let me be your boyfriend again, I would make sure to let you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me at every chance I got.”

You let a smile spread across your face as you pulled Mako in by his shirt collar and smashed your lips to his. “I still love you, you loser.”

“I love you too.”

This was my first story, so I hope you enjoyed it! I’m going to try and upload pretty often, and if you have any requests, they’re open. Thanks for reading!

Mako x female water bender imagine

Imagine volunteering to be Mako and Bolin’s stand-in water bending teammate for a few pro-bending matches and Mako strongly opposing the idea, telling you flat out you’re not good enough. You and Mako have always had a rocky relationship and you figure his dislike for you is why he won’t let you compete but it’s more the opposite. He’s refusing to let you compete because he has feelings for you and doesn’t want you to get hurt.

Part two here

Your POV

You could tell the training session had gone badly from the second you heard Mako and Bolin’s footsteps on the approach to your shared loft. If they’d had a good session Bolin would always come bounding in but the footsteps were slow and heavy so you knew they’d had another hard time. “Hey y/n” Bolin said pushing the door open dramatically and you frowned “that bad huh?”. Bolin nodded his head “we sucked and Hasook quit!”. “He quit?” you asked surprised, you knew their water bender team mate was flaky but to quit right in the middle of a season? “But why?” you asked  “you’ve only lost a few matches you have pleanty of time to turn the season around”. “He doesn’t care” Mako sighed “he’s never really cared and now he’s just abandonned us”. “I still think he’ll come back if you maybe just apologise...” Bolin started and Mako spun on “I will not apologise! I meant what I said, he’s not even a good probender we can find someone else”. “But by tomorrow?” Bolin asked “Mako we don’t have any reserves”. “I know but I was thinking we could try poaching one from another team”. “We can’t afford that” Bolin cried “we can barely afford me and you!”. Mako sighed “well we’ll think of someway...”. “How? Mako if we don’t find someone and soon then we’re toast, we’ll be kicked out of the league, out of the loft..”. “Don’t you think I know that” Mako cried and you coughed awkwardly. “I could do it?”. Mako and Bolin paused mid argument and looked at you. “I mean until you find a professional replacement, I could fill in temporarily”. Mako frowned but Bolin grinned "seriously? You’d do that for us?". You shrugged "i mean yeah why not? I’m not a bad water bender, I could do it until you find someone more qualified". Bolin cheered ready to celebrate when Mako ruined the mood with one word.  "No" Mako said without even considering the idea and you felt your excitment plummet. "Why? I know all your plays and both of you well, plus i’ve helped you out at practices before and if you don’t have someone by tomorrow you’re out for the season". "Exactly" bolin nodded "y/n’s the perfect fit". You grinned as Bolin wrapped an arm around you and both turned awkwardly to Mako waiting for the final verdict. He seemed in a worse mood than ever and rolled his eyes "you’re not qualified, you'll get hurt and be a liability, you’re not doing it" and walked away. “A liabilty?” you called after him but he didn’t reply. You turned to Bolin furious “a liability?”. “He didn’t mean that he’s just angry, I’ll work on it I promise”. You frowned and went to follow Mako to argue with him but Bolin caught your arm “no y/n why don’t you both cool off? I’ll start a nice meal and then when we’re all calm, rested and fed we can discuss it properly, yes?”. You sighed but nodded “okay”. “Great” Bolin cried “you go relax I’ll call you when dinner’s ready”.

Your stomach growled and you frowned at the door. It had been 2 hours and still no call from Bolin, how much longer did he think you needed to calm down? You sighed before realising you couldn’t hear any noise from the kitchen, if Bolin was cooking surely he’d be making noise. You opened your door and found the loft empty, Bolin and the food nowhere in sight. Actually that wasn’t right, the ingredients were all there but that was as far as Bolin got apparently. You sighed shaking your head and started making the food instead. Five minutes later Mako’s door opened “Bolin how much longer is the food going to take i’m starving” before stopping when he saw you. “Bolin didn’t get past taking the ingredients out of the fridge so you’re going to have wait a while” you said coldly and Mako nodded. “Well if i help it’ll get done quicker” and grabbed some vegetables that needed peeling. As Mako joined you in the kitchen you realised this was probably a set up.  You suspected Bolin had done this on purpose and sighed. Mako stood next to you but made no effort to talk or even look in your direction. It was uncomfortably tense and you couldn’t not saying anything. “So you changed your mind yet?” you asked and Mako shook his head “nope”. “You realise you’re being stupid don’t you?” you asked “there’s no reaon why I couldn’t atleast try!”. “Yeah well I’m the leader and I say you’re not doing it”. You scoffed and threw the pan you were holding down leaving the kitchen. “Y/n” Mako sighed “I’m not doing this because I want to, I’m doing it for you”. “For me? because I’m so useless I couldn’t possibly be of use to you?” you yelled and Mako sighed. "Y/n I’m not refusing to let you play because i think you’re useless". "Yeah well calling me a liability really proves that" you scoffed and Mako glared. "I’m trying to apologise". "Ow really?" you asked "because usually that starts with i’m sorry y/n or i was wrong or i was a dick, not i don’t think you’re completely useless y/n". "I didn’t say it like that you’re twisting my words!" Mako cried and you rolled your eyes "whatever i’m going out". "You are? But y/n it’s late" Mako said worried considering the neighbourhod you lived in. You didn’t care though and ignored him slamming the door hard.  

Mako’s POV

Mako was furious, you were so infuriating when you got angry! You were so stubborn and never listened to him. It was dark and late, you shouldn’t be going out into the streets alone, you lived in an awful neighbourhood. Not to mention considering the three of you used to be associated with the Shady Shin’s gang all the gangs around here know who you are. He waited ten minutes before following you, his anger overshadowed by his worry for you. Mako had an idea of where you’d go. Although you’d left Shady Shin’s gang with Mako and Bolin you still held the gang in a positive view and had the ridiculous notion the gang members were simply *old friends* and treated them as such. Mako told you not to, he told you the gang didn’t care about you anymore but would you listen? No. Mako entered the gang’s chosen bar and looked around for you. He couldn’t spot you but knew you’d be here somewhere. "Mako?" someone called and he turned to see an *old friend*. "Thought you’d gone straight" the man smirked "you finally come crawling back realising that life doesn’t work for guys like us?" the man asked and Mako resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "No i’ve just lost something and thought it might be here". “Your brother’s girl? She’s here". Mako forgot how much he hated that, everyone at the gang assumed you and Bolin were a thing just because you obviously got on. "Y/n isn’t Bolin’s girl" Mako spat and the man smirked raising an eyebrow "ow yeah forgot you were sweeter on her than him even though she’s with him more...that’s gotta be annoying, her prefering him". "Where is she?" Mako asked through gritted teeth and the man smirked as Mako grabbed him. "She’s back there, in Shadys Shin’s private box, guess one of his men’s taking a liking to her too, i’d hurry if i was you". Mako pushed through the door quickly and scanned the room for you. He spotted you sat with the only other girl in the room, some girl you still classed as a friend, Shady Shin not far away from you. Everyone looked up as Mako entered apart from you. The girl beside you nudged you and you looked up and paled seeing Mako.

Your POV

"Hey y/n thought you said none of your loser boys would be here" one of Shady Shin’s men called. You grimanced and glared at the speaker "he’s not mine and i didn’t know he’d be here". “Well get rid of him before we do” Shady Shin snarled. You saw Mako get ready for a fight and stood up “fine alright i’ll sort it”. You reached Mako and tugged his arm towards the door. As soon as you were out of ear shot Mako launched into a lecture "why are you here?" he cried "y/n these are bad people and you came alone! I know you think they care about you but they don’t, not like me and Bolin do!". "Bolin sure" you nodded "you only ever tolerated me, you let me hang around because i was good at being sneaky, because the rent 3 ways was cheaper, because Bolin wanted me there not because you did". "You know that’s not true" Mako said "you know i like you". "Ow yeah how have you proved that?". "So what just because i’m not like Bolin and don’t wear my heart on my sleeve i can’t like you? I’m just not emotional like him y/n! I don’t do elaborate gestures to prove i like you". "So what do you do?" you cried and Mako glared. "I pretend i’ve split the food three ways when i split it two ways between you and Bolin, i get into fights with shady shins men over them waiting outisde our apartment for you, i change my training schedule or Bolin’s so one of us can finish at the same time you finish work so you don’t have to walk home in the dark alone, I come in here knowing i’ll have so many targets on my back but i do it anyway! I make you so angry at me by refusing to let you compete in the tournament because i’m terrified of you getting hurt y/n! It’s my worst fear something bad happening to you or Bolin...that’s why I can’t have you in the ring with us! I know Bolin can take a hit but I can still protect him to an extent but if you were both there...I can’t protect both of you and if something happened to you in the tournament...i’d rather get kicked out then let that happen". "You...that’s why you didnt want me competing? you don’t think i’m useless?". Mako shook his head "no i actually think you’d be a good fit but i’ve seen the best taken out by rogue disks or a slap of water...i don’t pro-bend because i enjoy it! I do it because it gave me, you and Bolin a home, a way to escape the gang, i did it to keep you safe not to put you in danger". You paused and looked at Mako "why didn’t you just tell me all this? Why make yourself out as the bad guy?". "I don’t know because it’s easy to sell? I’m used to being the stick in the mud so it’s easy. Because it’s easier to act like i don’t care or be rude than admit that i do? Because i’m scared of what you'll think of me if i do...if you know how much i care". You smiled "Mako..." you started but he carried on. "But i’m sick of that, I’m tired of seeing you look at me like you hate me when you look at Bolin with so much fondness. I’m sick of Bolin getting all your affection, all your smiles and you think i’m just some cold prick who doesn’t care about you but i do care y/n a lot and i want to show you that! I want affection from you! I want...well you". You paused surprised but smiled "you do?". Mako nodded and then seeing the way you were looking at him crashed into you. Mako was in such a rush it was messy and a bit harsh but you didn’t care. The kiss was good, really good. This was why Mako was so popular with girls you figured wrapping your arms around his neck. Mako seemed genuinely surprised you would kiss him back but that didn’t stop him making the most of it. He pushed you back against the door hastily and you smirked at his enthusiasm. "And all this time I thought you hated me" you breathed and Mako shook his head breaking away from you long enough to look you in the eye "never, more of the opposite". He kissed you again and you smiled getting more and more lost in the feeling when the police showed up. Sirens blared and you and Mako jumped apart. "We can’t be spotted here" Mako said grabbing your hand "if we get caught we won’t be allowed to compete tomorrow, we have to go!". You nodded and followed as Mako dragged you away from the noise. You scrambled over fences and across rooftops until the sirens died away and you neared your home. You were still hand in hand as you ascended to your attic and Mako paused outside the door "y/n...". "You said we" you smiled "when the police showed up, you said if we can’t get caught because we won’t be able to complete tomorrow, we not you, does this mean you’re letting me join the team?". Mako sighed but nodded "i can’t protect you forever, if you want to do this i’ll support you". You grinned "even though you like me?". Mako nodded swallowing nervously "yes, you're not mine to tell what to do even if i like you". "Good answer" you smiled and went to open the door but Mako stopped you "erm y/n...you kissed me back, atleast I think you did, does that mean...do you like me too?". "You tell me" you shrugged leaning up to kiss him again. This time you made it slow and deliberate instead of the heated kiss from before. You lingered and took your time and when you pulled away Mako was breathless. "yes?" he asked and you smirked "yes Mako". Mako grinned and unlocked the door in a daze. You smiled as he lumbered into the room glancing at you every so often. The air was tense between you again but now in a good way. Bolin burst in suddenly and picked up on the tension immediately "Hey what happened in here, it feels weird". "We sorted it" you replied looking to Mako who smirked "yeah y/n’s competing with us tomorrow". "She is?" Bolin asked "you agreed to that?". Mako nodded "if y/n wants to do it who am i stop her?". You shot him an approving smile as Bolin hugged you "yay y/n this is going to be so cool!". Bolin crashed you into a hug again and you smiled but looked over his shoulder at Mako. Knowing all you knew now it was like looking at a completely different person. Now when he looked at you, that familiar intense serious look, it made you blush, made you feel cared for and protected. When you saw his lips twitch you knew he was trying not to smile and he turned away cheeks slightly red. If only he’d told you sooner...but it was okay, you were good at making up for lost time.

----

So i’m planning on maybe doing a continuation of this with them being teammates who live together, train together and compete together all while dating and trying to keep it a secret from Bolin all at the same time but i’ll see :)

[sokkas-honour]

if only you knew - bolin x reader

pairing: bolin x reader (gender neutral)

summary: bolin, your best friend, had always had your heart even when you were in a relationship, what happens when you find yourself drunk, with thoughts of confessing on your mind. -> request by anon

wc: 2.7k

warnings: drinking, mentions of vomiting, some harsh language.

his green eyes, spirits could you stare into them forever. the way they twinkled whenever he spoke about something he loved, the passion in basically all of his words, his way of taking the challenges the world would throw at him with arms wide open, the way he was just the most amiable person in every room he stepped into.

“hey bo!” when your eyes locked from across the little ba sing se mall, a huge smile spread across your lips at the sight of your best friend, spotting him in the crowd as soon as you stepped into the building complex, you’d be able to spot him anywhere.

“y/n!” he exclaimed as soon as your voice confirmed it was you, slightly hidden by the sheer amount of people gathered in the mall.he quickly frayed a path for himself, bumping into a couple of shoppers on accident. a huge grin on his face as he made his way towards you, sheer excitement at the thought of just seeing you.

when you saw his smile, you felt your heart start racing, his smile could light up any room and could make your darkest days bright with a simple flashing of it. you stayed in place as you waited for him, eyes not leaving him, your feet tapping in anticipation of him greeting you the way he always would, with a huge hug that would make you feel safe and warm. 

you didn't have to wait long as, before you knew it, you found yourself pressed against his chest as his arms enveloped you, squeezing the life out of you. a laugh escaped your lips as you quickly wrapped yours around his waist, nuzzling into him as he placed his chin on your head. spirits did you wish you could freeze time, that you could spend the rest of your life within his strong arms, listening to his heartbeat that was suspiciously faster than normal, but you brushed it off as simple leftover from the adrenaline of seeing his best friend and running across a fairly large crowd.

“when did you get here?” you asked, your voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt that you refused to tear away from, his scent of warm soup filled your nose, making you feel at home, it was impossible not to feel at home in his arms, when you were with him, it was impossible to not feel right at home with him.

“five minutes ago? maybe? i don't know.” much to your dismay, he unwrapped his arms from you, meaning you’d have to leave his body warmth, the cold feeling of not being pressed against the earthbender hitting you as soon as you removed yourself from around him. spirits did you wish the hug had lingered longer than it already had. the excitement in his voice didn't seem to falter, it rarely did. bolin always seemed to be excited about the littlest things in life, just one more thing about him that made you weak in the knees  simply thinking about it.

“sorry for making you wait.” you apologised, the smile that had set on your lips when you first saw him from across the crowd still present, it having even grown since the hug. 

“don’t be! it’s totally fine!” he insisted. that was another thing you loved about him, he never seemed to be bothered by small things that could rile some people up, he never seemed to be bothered by your faults that others might judge you for.

“are you looking for anything in particular.” you finally broke your shared gaze, opting to scan the surroundings of the middle ring of the little ba sing se fashion mall, still sending a small side glance at him while you did so.

“well i thought we could grab some crab puffs that i told you about from that one place not too far from here?” bolin suggested, rocking back and forth on his heels as he waited for your reaction.

“sounds good, lead the way.” you finally came back to him, eager to be able to taste the dish that bolin had raved about a week or so ago when the both of you were wandering around avatar korra park after his shift working for zhu li. 

bolin nodded, throwing his arm around your shoulders in order to guide you to the food stall while keeping you close to him. a bit of heat rushed to your cheeks at the sudden proximity, not expecting it to happen. mentally cursing yourself, hoping that the blush would disappear as soon as he would turn his attention back to you, currently determined to get the two of you to where the crab puffs were located. you followed, making sure to keep up with his pace, not wanting him to have to drop his arm, enjoying the slight body heat radiating off of him.

“we’re here!” he proclaimed, arm removing itself from around your neck as both of them extended upwards, almost as if he were about to hug the air in order to emphasize the fact that you’d finish your small walk and had arrived at your destination. 

“it smells good.” your eyes widened as you took in the smell of the whatever was cooking behind the counter, further in the stall. the delicious smell making your mouth water and your stomach rumble in hunger, hoping that it wouldn't take too long to be ready so you could taste it. if the crab puffs tasted as good as the smell did, then bolin was a certified genius when it came to food recommendations, to be fair he always was except for the one time he forced the krew to taste the rather disgusting smoked sea slug he had ordered at some fire nation restaurant. you could've sworn that you would’ve vomited right then and there.

bolin moved forward to approach the short man behind the counter, ordering two servings of crab puffs for the both of you and paying before making his way back to you, informing you that the two of you had less than a ten minute way before they were ready.

“do you need to get anything else while we’re here?” you decided that you might as well try to kill time as you waited for your food. you two had simply met up to spend time with each other, figuring that the mall would be a great place for the two of you to goof around.

“not really, but if i find anything for opal then that’d be great.” there it was, the mention of his girlfriend, you knew it was coming, it was stupid to tyhink that you could hang out with your best friend without a mention of significant others. you felt your mood falter slightly but made sure to keep the same bright expression you had been wearing since you had met up with bolin minutes ago.

“an anniversary coming up?” spirits did you wish the food would be ready already so the conversation could finally stray away from talking about relationships, wanting to just forget that the both of you were in your own respective relationships while you still felt like a school kid spending time with their first crush.

“yeah! five years.” he exclaimed, a giddy smile on his face as he thought of the beautiful earth kingdom girl he had met while the krew was traveling all around opal’s birth nation, looking for the new generation of airbenders that has surged following harmonic convergence, his girlfriend being one of them as they stopped by zoafu. 

you remembered the pain you had felt when your best friend seemed to have fallen head over heels for opal as soon as he laid eyes on her, how he became so nervous around her, how he became so in love with her in mere seconds. you remembered watching from the sidelines, your heart cracking slightly at seeing him fall for a girl once more as you had seen so many times, only this time it seemed as if it would actually last, their connection being strong from their first conversation. it was so strong that it lasted the four years following korra defeating zaheer, the fall of the earth kingdom, it lasted with the long distance while the couple were both on opposites sides but with the same idea of helping rebuild the earth kingdom, bolin finding himself in kuvira’s team and opal with the airbenders.

you two hadn't seen each other much considering you were helping out asami with her company but spirits did you miss him, did you wish you could just take a five minutes walk to see him, spend a night together eating noodles and just laughing about old times, just spending time with him and only him. when the news of him coming back to republic city, you were over the moon at the thought of seeing him, and some twisted part of you felt excited that opal and bolin were at a rather hard time in their relationship before she eventually came to forgive him after he helped save her family that had been captured.

After varrick and zhu li’s wedding, seeing them be together, love in their eyes as they danced, you realised that their relationship would persevere through anything, meaning you had to just stand by and watch any chance you had of being with your best friend evaporate. the hope you had had been slowly dwindling but some part of you still held on tightly, naively if you really thought about it.

so you tried your hardest to move on, stay close friends with bolin as you couldn't imagine cutting him out of your life, him being your lifeline even if he didnt know it and it would raise suspicions meaning your confession would have slipped but now, you had been in a relationship with a couple of months with a lovely water tribe boy that the brothers were familiar with, hasook. you two had met one night as he recognized you while you were alone at narook’s, picking up noodles for a night between bo and yourself, and you two got to talking, and talking became dates which blossomed into a relationship. but no matter how sweet he was, no matter how caring he was, he couldn't surpass the boy you had been in love with for years, not by a long shot.

“how long have you and hasook been together?” he mustve noticed you spacing out, staring mindlessly at the crowd of moving people near the shop.

“five months maybe? im not the best at keeping track of these things.” you joked, shaking your head to take you out of your thoughts of longing for what could've been if you had just taken the chance to say how you felt about him way back when he was still a part of the fire ferrets and you watched him get his heart broken by korra.

“well then maybe we can both pick up things for anniversaries!” he suggested excitedly while you just nodded, your smile not completely reaching your eyes.

“after the food though.” your comment made him laugh and you felt your knees go weak at that simple sound, a human reaction so simple yet so pure, especially when it came from bolin. no matter the years that you two had been friends, hearing him laugh, especially if it was because of you, always brightened your mood no matter what, it should be illegal how beautiful of a sound it was.

a week later, bolin had invited you  and the rest of the krew out for a night on the town, only the twist was everyone had to bring their date, meaning bo would be bringing opal and you’d bring hasook along, something you definitely didnt want to do, not wanting to share your time with bolin with anyone else, especially if it meant completely repressing your feelings and projecting them onto your partner. it was unfair to hasook that you harbored such strong feelings for your best friend, even if you did like your boyfriend, you didnt think that you loved him the same way you actually loved bolin, the water bender didnt make your heart swoon with one look quite like the way the earthbender did.

the way the night played out was definitely not how you wanted to but it started out as any night at the cactus juice bar did, a round of shots around a table as everyone broke off into different conversations. mako and hasook took the time to catch up, not having seen each other since they kicked him off the team back when amon was still a threat, asami and opal were discussing some book that they had both been reading, which left bolin, korra, and yourself trying to figure out what other drinks you’d be getting. a bet had been made on how far the three of you could go without throwing up, korra challenging the two of you, bolin taking a minute or so of thinking before finally accepting whereas you were down as soon as the words left her mouth, wanting to just forget about how awkward the situation was for you mentally, being with your boyfriend and the guy you loved was with his longtime girlfriend.

the three of you excused yourself from the table in order to sit at the bar and down multiple rounds of shots, leaving the four others to keep talking amongst each other without the annoyance of future drunks embarrassing them.

unbeknownst to you, as you stared at the menu of drinks, bolin eye’s were fixated on you as his mind raced, nervous that the lack of critical thinking caused by the alcohol would lead him to ruining three different relationships with just one sentence, keeping his feelings a secret was so much easier to do while sober and every time he’d gotten drunk with you, he’d always been minutes away from letting it slip so he hoped that some part of him would still be sober enough to keep his mouth shut. he pushed his thoughts at the back of his mind as soon as he realised a small shot glass had been placed in front of him and both of his friends were looking at him with a huge grin on their faces, their own glass in their hand as they waited for him to be ready.

“cheers!” he exclaimed, grabbing his and downing it in mere seconds, closely followed by both korra and yourself, the alcohol burning your throat as it slipped into your system.

a couple of more were downed and the three of you were slowly turning into caricatures of yourselves, the alcohol now having taken the wheel. korra was eyeing some of the buffest guys in the room, most likely thinking about how fast she could tackle them to the ground without breaking a sweat while both you and bolin, unknowingly, were both thinking of the same thing, whether or not a confession would slip past your lips now that all critical thinking had been thrown out the window, possibly ruining the night and your dynamic forever.

suddenly, korra started turning to get up, glaring at a man who seemed to be glaring back. spotting her movement immediately, you grabbed her wrist, not wanting to deal with her competitive side now, especially if it meant getting lectured by asami on how stupid of an idea the challenge was.

“korra, i dont think fighting some guy right now is a good idea.” you insisted, grip getting tighter as bolin alarmingly watched the situation go down.

“y/n, i dont think dating some guy while being in love with bolin is a good idea either but you dont see me ruining your fun.” she slipped out, clearly annoyed you were keeping her from having her fun. your grip on her dropped as your heart did as well, not expecting her to be the one to slip up tonight, not expecting her to be the one to ruin everything, not expecting her to tell your biggest secret, that you were in love with your best friend.

“shit y/n, im sorry.” realisation washed over her as soon as she saw your face drop, guilt immediately eating her up as she saw you dash out of the bar as fast as possible, leaving a guilty korra, a slightly concerned group of friend who saw you abruptly leave, and a stunned bolin who just heard something he wished he’d heard long ago.

before anyone could react any further, bolin finally came to his senses and followed you out, knowing you two needed to have a conversation, away from the loud band that was playing, away from your friend’s gaze, outside, where it was just the two of you without any walls up.

the cold air had hit you as soon as you stepped out, surprised that the street was relatively empty for this late at night. you just stood there, seemingly frozen in place as you kept processing over and over the words that the avatar let out, she was right, you were aware of it, but you wouldve preferred if she hadnt said it in front of the guy that had stolen your heart when you were still a teenager.

“hey y/n.” you barely registered his voice, too lost in hearing the faint sounds of the city to fully pay attention to his voice. you didnt bother turning around, not wanting to confront him after that embarrassing moment, not wanting to even see him until the humiliation of it all left your mind.

“listen, i thought you should know something.” you didnt move but you could feel his presence right next to you, closing the short distance between the two of you to fully tell you what his drunk brain really wanted you to know, something a sober version of him would never dare to admit in fear of forever ruining the strong friendship the two of you had, but since you felt the same way he did, the fear was gone, replaced with the uncertainty of how the rest of this would play out.

“i’ve always liked you, when i first met you i knew that i couldnt live without you in my life. i always assumed you didnt like me like that so i kept it to myself but then i met opal, and im really happy with her y/n, hopefully you can understand that. i dont want to lose you since you’ll always have a piece of my heart no matter what.” he took a deep breath before letting the sincerely words flow, speaking from his hearts. 

you felt your breath hitch slightly at his confession and his last words kept replaying in your mind as you felt the alcohol pump adrenaline and confidence through your veins as you finally turned to face him, meeting his compassionate and beautiful green eyes looking at you, waiting for some sort of reaction. and before you knew it, your lips were on his, pouring out every repressed emotion you had for your best friend into one kiss, the one kiss you had been craving for so long, the one kiss that you had dreamt so long about.

for a second he kissed back, seemingly melting into the kiss as well before he sobered up slightly, hands on your shoulders as he pushed you away.

“no, we cant- i cant do this, i told you im happy with opal, and youre happy with hasook.” he nervously said, slight annoyance at his actions and yours evident in his tone. before you could respond, before you could retaliate, he had quickly turned around, mumbling an apology on how he had to go back inside, leaving you alone with the cold night air nipping at your skin, left alone with your thoughts once more.

poor mc TT hasook is mean (technically all of them are kinda are) but anyways, that chapter was scrumptiously good like always!! and i wonder if certain members for some members than the others? and how they would “recognize” for the mc as we don’t know she’s capable at this point. i also wonder if you will make a title for the gumiho au? have a wonderful day!! (BTS COMEBACK ON JUNE 10 PLSSS)

hi, thank you so much for sending this!! asks are so exciting ahhh

for your first question, the different members definitely have varying feelings (but at this point all have Some feelings) towards mc. im sort of trying to spotlight each one a little bit, but am certainly happy to talk more about any one dynamic (or any of the dynamics between the members) if you like! (unless i have specific plans and don't wanna spoiler smth lol)

for the second question, i think that's tied to the first - they all see her as a Human first and foremost, but they all also have different pasts and experiences with humans. that said, gumiho are primarily known for eating Men - and mc is an unmarried woman in a war-torn society where said gumiho are more or less employed as mercenaries. so that tints the lens as well. let me know if this doesn't actually answer your question!

titles... are my nemesis... it would probably be a lot better for promoting it if i did have a title huh........

AND YES COMEBACK NEW MUSIC... fingers crossed for lots of korean songs... more bangers like dis-ease pls bangtan... 4 Me....

thank you again for sending this, and feel free to ask for clarification or anything further!!

#ask #gumiho bts #thank you for the ask!!

“Speak for yourself, Bolin,” grumbled Hasook, the only waterbender they could find to join their team. “You being distracted practically cost us the game.”

“It was only a few seconds,” Mako snapped, readily coming to his brother’s defense.

“That’s all it takes to lose.” Hasook walked angrily out of the locker room. When he was gone, (Y/N’s) bright eyes peered around the door frame.

“I hope I’m not interrupting,”

A smile curled onto (Y/N’s) lips. 

“Nice to meet you, Bolin,” She said, and Bolin felt his heart skip a beat. He liked the way her voice said his name. 

“If you don’t mind me asking, what were you doing walking by yourself at night?” 

“I had just gotten off of work,” (Y/N) said with a sigh. “I got stuck with the late shift, so no one could leave until everything was absolutely spotless. And like, right as we were almost done for the night, someone spills a bottle of oil all over the floor! Waterbenders can’t pick that up!” She frowned. “Sorry, I’m just ranting to you at this point.” 

“Rant away!” Bolin said, his face excited. “Where do you work?” 

“I’m a waitress at Kwong’s Cuisine.” 

“Woah,” Bolin gapsed. “No wonder you were so bummed out about losing your food! That place is amazing. I mean, I imagine it’s amazing. The only thing I’ve had from there were leftovers from the garbage.” When (Y/N) furrowed her brows, Bolin started panicking. “I don’t eat from the garbage all the time! My brother and I used to when we were living on the streets.” 

“Oh,” (Y/N) said, her expression turning sad. She reached forward and placed her hand atop Bolin’s. “I’m so sorry. That must’ve been so awful.” 

“It wasn’t too bad!” Bolin, cheerful as ever, gave her a smile. “I had Mako, which was nice, but sometimes we could find really great things in the garbage. Once, I found a whole pie, just sitting on top of trash cans! Didn’t look dirty or anything! It was delicious. Sometimes I still think about trash pie.” 

(Y/N) laughed and Bolin reveled in the sound. “What about you?” She asked. “Why were you on the streets?” 

“Mako and I got into a little argument about money again. It’s fine though, because we’re gonna make our own pro-bending team and rake in all the cash!” An idea popped into his head and he leaned forward excitedly, their faces just inches apart. “Say, you wouldn’t happen to be a waterbender, would you?” 

“Unfortunately, no,” (Y/N) said and Bolin deflated back into his seat. “I don’t bend anything. My family’s full of benders but me? I am bendless.” 

“Hey, that’s okay!” Bolin assured her. “I know really great people who aren’t benders!” 

“I’m not very sad about it,” She said, playing with the straw that was in her drink. “But I do get just a teensy bit jealous. Like, when I’m watching probending and the teams do all these cool moves!” 

“You wanna talk about cool moves? You should see Mako and I! He’s a firebender, I’m an earthbender. We’re like a dynamic duo. Our first match is in two weeks from today, if you wanted to come!” 

“You have a match but you don’t have a waterbender?” Bolin waved his hand in the air dismissively. 

“We’ll find someone, I’m sure! Say you’ll be there?” He asked, his green eyes bright and hopeful. 

“I’ll try my best!” (Y/N) said, and Bolin could tell she really meant it. “It’s just, you know, work.” 

At that moment, their soup dumplings arrived. This both excited and disappointed Bolin. Excited because he was starving and disappointed because he knew once they were finished eating, he and (Y/N) would go their separate ways. 

After stuffing themselves full of soup dumplings, Bolin and (Y/N) practically waddled out of the restaurant. The streets of Republic City were nearly bare. “How about I walk you home?” Bolin offered. (Y/N) nodded, a blush gracing her cheeks. 

They walked side by side and talked about anything and everything. He found out that her mom owned Kwong’s Cuisine and expected (Y/N) to take it over once she was old enough, but (Y/N) wasn’t sure if she wanted to do that yet. She loved animals and preferred to be cold rather than hot, because when she’s cold she can just bundle up. Despite working for her mom, she lived on her own, since her mom didn’t have that much time to be around anyway. 

Bolin told her about how his parents died and what it was like living on the streets for so many years. He told her of the gangs that they had done work for and she looked at him with complete understanding and a lack of judgement. He told her about his best friend, Pabu, and how much he wished he had brought Pabu with him because he knew he would’ve made her so happy. 

By the time they had reached her doorstep, Bolin was feeling very sad. The odds of him ever seeing this girl again were slim to none and that was the last thing that he wanted. 

“Do you have a piece of paper and a pen?” He asked suddenly. (Y/N) nodded, stepping inside for a moment before returning with his supplies. He tore off a small piece of paper and balanced it on his knee, scratching his address onto the lines. “This is where you can find me.” She took it gingerly from his hands and looked at it. When she looked back up at him, she smiled. 

“Thank you,” She said, her voice soft. “I’ll definitely track you down. I have to repay you for the soup dumplings.” Bolin grinned. 

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” He walked down her front steps and nearly tripped. He turned around again to see her laughing at him. He smiled once more and gave her a small salute before walking off into the night. 

Bolin didn’t see (Y/N) at his next pro-bending match, or at the three matches after it. Each time he would look up into the crowd, past the bright lights and thousands of fans and search for the face that had been in his dreams for weeks now. Every night, he was disappointed. He’d put on his helmet and step onto the platform, ready to take his frustrations out on the opposing team. 

He had told Mako about the girl he had eaten soup dumplings with. Mako hadn’t really taken him seriously; Bolin always got distracted by girls for a few days and then found himself enamored by another one soon enough. But this one seemed to be sticking. Mako sort of hoped she’d turn up just so Bolin would stop talking about her. 

And then one night, she did. Bolin’s eyes scanned the crowd, just as they always did, and surprisingly they came to rest on (Y/N’s) face. She sat higher up, in the cheaper seats, but her presence was undeniable. Her smile seemed to beam down on him as she turned to her friend and pointed at the platform. 

“She’s here!” He turned to Mako, jumping on his feet. “She really came!” 

“Finally,” Mako grumbled, and the match started. Bolin didn’t seem to notice, his eyes trained on (Y/N) for the first few seconds of the game. This gave the opposing team the opening to hit him with earthbending discs, knocking him back into the second zone. 

Bolin groaned and jumped to his feet. Mako turned to him as he firebended, his golden eyes furious. “Either you get your act together or I’ll knock you off the platform myself!” 

Bolin nodded, holding his fists toward his face as he shot discs at the opposing team. He dodged their attempts at knocking him off his feet. If this was (Y/N’s) first match seeing him, then she’d see him at his best. 

The Fire Ferrets didn’t win the match, but they played a good game. The team was freshly made and it would take them a while to get in tune with each other. Bolin remained optimistic that they’d win the next one, and he expressed this to his team as they went back to their locker rooms. 

“Speak for yourself, Bolin,” grumbled Hasook, the only waterbender they could find to join their team. “You being distracted practically cost us the game.” 

“It was only a few seconds,” Mako snapped, readily coming to his brother’s defense. 

“That’s all it takes to lose.” Hasook walked angrily out of the locker room. When he was gone, (Y/N’s) bright eyes peered around the door frame. 

“I hope I’m not interrupting,” She said, and Bolin couldn’t stop the grin that rose to his face when he heard her voice. “I told someone that I knew Bolin and then they told me to come here?” 

“They’re used to Bolin’s routine of bringing back screaming fangirls,” Mako said, and Bolin gave him a harsh shove. 

“Former routine,” He grumbled, before walking over to (Y/N). He wasn’t sure if he should hug her or hold her hands or kiss her. The last option would probably be too much for the moment. “I’m so happy to see you.” 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner,” She said, an apologetic smile gracing her features. “I got scheduled for every night a pro-bending match was on. I had to ask someone to cover for me just to come here.” 

“Oh no! I’m sorry you had to take off work.” (Y/N) shrugged. 

“It was definitely worth it. You guys played an amazing game.” (Y/N) stepped further into the room, directing her attention toward Mako. “I’m (Y/N), by the way. Bolin kinda saved my butt a few weeks back.” 

“I’m Mako,” He said. “And I know. He hasn’t stopped talking about it since then.” Bolin’s face flushed a bright pink, but (Y/N) just laughed. 

“Can I treat you both to soup dumplings? I have to pay Bolin back for mine anyway.” 

“Dumplings sound fantastic!” Bolin grinned. “Right Mako?” 

“I won’t say no to free food.” 

---

(Y/N’s) stomach rumbled loudly. 

She sat atop Naga, her arms wrapped around Korra’s middle. The polar bear dog trotted through Republic City as Korra took her to one of her favorite spots: a little meat stand on the side of the street. “This place is amazing,” Korra called back to her. “I find the stands to be way better than actual restaurants.”

(Y/N) wasn’t quite sure if she could relate, but she was willing to try. They pulled Naga up to the stand to order their food. “You again,” The woman running the stand grumbled. “You actually have money this time?” 

“Yes,” Korra said, sticking her tongue out at the woman. “We’ll have two of everything.”

“Two of everything?” (Y/N) echoed in disbelief. “Korra, I-” 

“Relax,” She said as the woman put together their orders. “You and I will share and the rest is for Naga. She needs to eat lunch, too.” Korra rubbed Naga in between her ears. 

Once they had been given their food, Korra took (Y/N) to the park, where they ate on the riverbank. It was less cold than it was yesterday but (Y/N’s) Air Acolyte clothes helped keep her warm. She received many weird looks as people walked past them. 

“Do I have something on my face?” She asked. “Why does everyone keep looking at me?” 

“Oh,” Korra said, her mouth full of kabob. “Air Acolytes don’t usually leave Air Temple Island. And they don’t eat meat.” (Y/N) gulped. 

“I feel like I’m being blasphemous,” And while she wasn’t really joking, she made Korra laugh anyway. “Thanks for getting all of this food, by the way. I’ll find some way to pay you back in the future.” 

“Don’t worry about it,” Korra said with a shrug. “Focus on getting your memories back.” 

“I wish it were that easy. Like, if I could just shut my eyes really hard and boom! My memories would return.” She looked at Korra, her eyes dazzling with an idea. “I know Kya said you can’t tell me anything shocking, but what if...what if you told me some of the small stuff? Like when my birthday was?” 

“I don’t really know things like that,” Korra admitted as she reached for a piece of food and tossed it to Naga. “I really just know about the stuff Mako has told me.” 

“Right, Mako,” (Y/N) mumbled. “My biggest fan.” 

“He’s just protective over Bolin, that’s all.” 

“Everyone keeps talking about Bolin when it comes to me. That’s the guy that was there the other night, right? Who is he?” Korra bit her bottom lip. She knew she had said too much. “Korra, please?” 

“Bolin was...your boyfriend.” 

“Was my boyfriend,” (Y/N) repeated. “As in past tense?” 

“Past tense is a pretty big part of it.” (Y/N) nodded. 

“Okay. I won’t ask you any more about it, I promise. Thank you for telling me.” But when she looked back down at her food, Korra could tell that she wasn’t thankful. The only thing her explanation had offered was more confusion, and she felt incredibly guilty. Guilty over going against Kya and Tenzin’s wishes and telling (Y/N) about Bolin, and guilty over not being able to give (Y/N) the truth. She was completely lost in the world: she deserved answers. 

“Maybe...maybe if we don’t tell you anything, but show you instead, we can get your memories back.” 

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?” 

“What if we took you to places that had a big impact on your life and just see how you react to being there?” (Y/N) nodded excitedly. 

“I’ll try anything.” 

“Alright. But first we have to get Mako and Bolin on board.”

The Avatar’s sister

Bolin x reader(korra’s sister)

2k words and it’s kinda poorly edited 

a/n there’s some cuss words and some violence?

“We were just looking for the bathroom and we got lost!”

“Ah the old I had to pee excuse you know i'm sick and tired…” I don’t catch the rest of what he's saying because I see a teenage boy dressed in pro bending gear or as I like to call him our way out of this situation. I motion for him to come over praying to the spirits that he can read the room.

          “There you two are, I've been looking everywhere for you two! It's alright Toza there with me” Up close I can see that it's actually Bolin the earth bender for the fire ferrets. Spirits can my day get any better. I've seen a few pro bending matches before and listened to even more. One of the few perks of being the avatar’s sister. While she spends her days training on air temple island I spend my days wandering the city my favorite pastime being watching pro bending matches.Spirits he looks even better up close 

          “Yeah were with him” I say flashing the man a million watt smile and he responds with 

           “so you see we’re together” Oh I like where this is going. Before I can respond Korra replies

            “well not together together” speak for yourself Korra. I'm more than happy to be together together with him. He starts to stammer embarrassed by Korra words so I try to save all of us 

            “You see Toza Bolin and I are together and my sister was just tagging along with us.” Please let this work, if not Tenzin is going to kill me for letting korra go out with me.

           “Ah I don't care I got work to do” the man begins to walk away and I pull the stammering duo out of the room before either of them could blow our cover. I turn around to see a blushing Bolin and a confused looking Korra, I really need to teach her how to pick up on social cues 

           “I’m y/n, a big fan of yours, so Bolin why don't you show the two of us around” I say while grabbing his bicep motioning for him to lead. Bolin showed us around for a while before leading us into an area overlooking the arena “So what do you think best seats in the house huh?” It really is you can see the whole arena from up here and it's much less crowded than the seats in the stadium plus there isn't a guy as easy on the eyes as Bolin down there. 

           “Oh absolutely the view just keeps getting better and better” it's not often that I get to meet people as just y/n, not the avatar's sister, or korra's younger sister. It's nice to be myself around someone knowing that they're not using me to get to the avatar. Besides from what I've seen Bolin is too sweet and innocent to do that anyways.

          “Unbelievable this place is even more amazing than I imagined” I let out a small chuckle at Korra's words. It's nice to see her getting excited at the smallest things, it shows me that she can still be a kid and not burdened by the weight of the world. It makes sneaking out and a possible chewing out from Tenzin worth it “Names Bolin by the way”

“Korra” “I know” they both look at me waiting for an explanation “well i'm just a huge fan of yours” I pause “well the fire ferrets in general” 

“Psst Bolin”

“Yeah” 

“I told you you have to stop bringing your crazy fangirls in here before the matches get them out of here” His older brother Mako whispers this to him Korra and I both hear due to the fact that they suck at whispering. It almost hurts my feelings that we aren't the only ones he brought back here but then again he's not the first guy i've flirted with here. Though he is the first guy i've flirted with that seems so...innocent.

          “Aw c'mon Mako I kinda promised them that they could stay but I got a good feeling about them there's something special about the two of them. I know it” Well he's half right there. I wonder why he lied to his brother so we could stay. He never promised us we could stay back here. Some part of me hopes it's because he's interested in me too. “Come here I want you to meet my brother Mako” he says eagerly pulling me towards him 

          “Mako! Wow I heard you play on the radio” oh boy she's totally fangirling. I personally don’t see what's so interesting about Mako or his brooding douchebag act “cmon Bolin we’re up” Mako says completely ignoring Korra walking past her, see brooding douchebag. Korra not taking the hint turns to Bolin “or I could meet him later”

           “yeah he gets real focused before a match anyways wish me luck” his comment makes me laugh. Something about the positive energy he radiates is infectious. He jogs away, I yell “good luck Bolin” followed by “good luck knock em out” from Korra 

         “So do i have to be the one to say mako is bad news or i have to let you figure it out yourself” I cross my arms giving her my best ‘i know better than you’ look. While Korra may be the older sister, only by 11 months might I add, she doesn't act it. I blame all of her teachers and instructors for never letting her live when she was younger. Now that she's basically an adult seeing the world for the first time she's very sheltered.

          “He is not bad news y/n you heard bolin he was just focused for the match! Besides, did you see him?” let her figure it out for herself it is.

          “Yes and i also saw you drooling at him” I tease 

          “Oh please like you were any better with Bolin you were practically throwing yourself at him” these are the best moments when we can just goof off.

“First off I do not throw myself at anyone, he's just sweet and insanely hot. Secondly which one of us actually has experience with boys” she opens her mouth to defend herself before quickly shutting it. Got her there. “Exactly now pay attention the match is starting” We both turn and lean on the balcony watching the start of the match.

           “The rookie ferrets came out of nowhere and made it further than anyone expected this season but tonight they face their toughest test yet folks” we watch the two teams trading back and forth blows until the fire ferrets ultimately win with Mako knocking all 3 members of the opposing team into the water. I turn to Korra to ask how her first ever pro bending match was but stopping when I see her and Mako holding each other's gazes.

          “Yes! Whoo did you see that one more win and were in the championship tournament!” Bolin yells running into the room skidding to a halt in front of me “so what'd you think y/n?” he looks down at me trying to conceal his excitement waiting for me to answer him looking happier than i've ever seen him-if that's possible. 

           “You guys were amazing Bolin!” I practically yell pulling him into a quick hug.

           “Bolins got some moves huh?” 

          “You could say that again” Before Bolin can say that again Korra grabs him by his shirt pulling him towards her 

          “That was amazing” then korra promlety pushed him away as Mako and Hasook approach arguing about the last match

          “You did more harm than good out there, you almost cost us the match!”

          “We won didn't we?”

          “Barely” 

          “Get off my case pal” Hasook yells before storming out of the room.This doesn't put a damper on korra's mood though as she addresses Mako “You guys were amazing out there especially you mr hat trick” Mako yet again walks right past her him barely paying her any attention to her half heartly saying “oh your still here”

          “What gives you the right to be such an ass mr hat trick?” I say coming to my sister's defence. Pro bender or not it doesn't give him the right to be a jerk. I even bet I could beat him sparring. He's not even good enough to be this much of a jerk.

          “Your good do you think you could show me some tricks?” no no no korra that wasn't the deal I sneak you out we watch one pro bending match and we go back to air temple island.

          “Yeah sure absolutely i'm just not sure how my earth bending might translate to your water bending but we'll figure it out” This cant get any worse if she lets them know she's the avatar we're toast. No ones supposed to know the avatars in republic city

          “Won't be a problem-”

          “korra's right it won't be a problem because we really have to go-” 

           “because i'm an earth bender” great this is j ust great.

          “Im sorry no no i didn't mean to assume ya know cause i was just figuring since well with your water tribe getup that you two were well water bender” 

          “Korras just messing with you of course were both water-” 

          “You're right, I'm a water bender too and fire bender” social. Cues. Korra. 

         “Hmm hmm i'm very confused right now” Bolin 

         “Your the avatar and i'm an idiot” Mako 

         “Both are true” Korra. I throw myself into the nearest chair running my hands through my y/h/c hair.I wonder if I beg for forgiveness if Tenzin will still ground us for the rest of forever 

          “I need a drink” I say, completely ignoring Bolin’s freak out about Korra being the avatar I've heard it all before. Just like that my chances with Bolin have gone out the window no one has ever liked me more than my sister she's the avatar I can't compete with that .I never will be able to. 

          Nonetheless I follow the brothers into the training room and sit on the stairs looking as happy to be there as Mako does. I don't pay much attention to Bolin and Korra training “so mr hat trick is there any reason why you're so prickly or are you always like this?”

          He scoffs “no i just don’t appreciate the two of you showing up like that besides your sister is a piece of work”           “No kidding hat trick don't you know being the avatar comes with a hero complex?” Okay so he's not as bad as I thought.

          “Well it's getting late so i'm going to turn in but you kids have fun”

          “Speaking of Korra we really do need to be going” I speak in a tone to let her know it wasn't an option.I stand up brushing my water tribe robes off “it really was great seeing you Bolin but we have to go”

          “Sorry my sister is being such a wet blanke-” “now Korra” 

          “Hey um y/n could you hang back for a second” here it goes. Is your sister single? Can you set me up? 

          “What do you need Bolin?” 

         “You mean other than you in my life” we both cringe after he says that.

          “That has to be the worst pick up line i've ever heard” 

         He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly “heh yeah it wasn't really my A material but the real reason i wanted to talk to you was well i was mostly just wondering well we have a match next”

          “Bolin spit it out i'm sure it isn't that bad”

          “Do you want to come to our match tomorrow then get some food after” he looks at the ground playing with his fingers. Where was the confident Bolin I met earlier? 

          “Yes”

          “Well it was a stupid idea anyways I shoul- wait yes? Really! I uh I mean of course you would want to get food with me” maybe he's more insecure than I initially thought. But then again people do have layers.

       I kiss him on the cheek turning away from him and walking to the door so he couldn't see the blush on my face “I'll see you tomorrow Bolin”

Workaholic: A Coffee Shop AU

Inspired by reading @mako-being-bi’s prompt before my shift....at a coffee shop. Here is a one-shot I day dreamed at work

“- and Huan is going to the LCBO for Opal and he said he would pick me up whatever I want so that’s just another reason why you should come tonight.” Bolin finished matter of factly. He had been trying to convince Mako to go with him to this party all week.

Mako tolled his eyes as he wiped the steam wand with the sani cloth. “I already told you Bo, after I finish here I have to work on my History paper.” He really shouldn’t have left it so long, but he’d been picking up as many extra shifts as he could, once he turned 18 Mako could become Bolin’s legal guardian and get them out of foster care and he intended to, but they’d need money for an apartment to do that. Bolin reached over the counter to take his finished drink, “hey!”

Bolin knew he shouldn’t do that; he’d dealt with enough of his own annoying costumers. Bolin just waved Mako’s admonition off, “you could have been working on that today and partying tonight if you hadn’t picked up this extra shift.”

Mako was about to retort when Korra and Asami ran into the store from the mall hallway. “You guys will never guess who Asami and I saw at H&M!” Korra gasped, nearly having run her and Asami who she had been dragging behind her, into the counter. “It was the guy Mako saved last week!”

“And why did none of you tell me about this before today!” Asami chimes in, “you can all remember every complicated modification a Karen makes to a drink but you can’t remember Mako saving a guys life?”

Mako tears the next drink order sticker and places it onto a Grande cup. “I didn’t save-“

“Yeah he totally did!” Bolin interrupts, “so this guy orders a pink drink right, but I guess he didn’t know what was in it, or that he was allergic to strawberries, because he starts having an allergic reaction in the store-“

Mako cuts Bolin off to announce the finished order. “I administered an epiden.” Mako looks down at the next sticker “Korra did you seriously just mobile order.”

“What, I came here to see you, not whoever that guy at cash is.” Korra said, putting her phone back into her pocket. “And fine, the guy you administered an epipen to works at H&M, and he goes to school with Asami so he’ll probably be at the Beifong’s party tonight.” Korra finishes with a smirk. “So you should go in case he’s in dire need of medical assistance.”

Mako rolls his eyes, could everyone just stop with this party already, “I already told you I’m not going.”

Korra and Bolin continue talking about the upcoming party while Mako makes the drinks Korra ordered for her and Asami.

“You should think about coming Mako,” Asami says as she grabs her and Korra’s finished drinks. “I love seeing you at work, but it would be nice to see you outside of it.”

The three leave soon after that. Bolin told Opal he would help her hide all of the breakables to prepare for the party tonight and Asami needs to return some shoes and Korra goes with her.

Mako’s shift is going by pretty slowly, the mall isn’t as busy as his drive-thru store and people mostly just get water. The general lack of commotion means he sees him the moment he comes in. He still has his H&M name tag on.

“Hey Hasook, how are you buddy?” Mako remembers him being overly friendly, he wasn’t a regular at Mako’s usual store but he’d gone to the trouble of actually reading the barista’s name tags.

“Hey Wu, let me guess, you want a ‘surprise me’” Hasook rolls his eyes good naturedly, punching in a surprise order.

“There is just so much you can get; I don’t know how anybody chooses!”

Wu continues to chat with Hasook as he pays, Mako waits for the sticker to print before tossing it out and making him an iced white mocha, with cold foam instead of whip- it’s more annoying to make that way but it’s better. Wu’s still talking to Hasook when Mako calls out his drink.

“You need to tell them your allergies when you order a surprise me drink.”

“Huh?” Wu doesn’t look at Mako as he unwraps a straw and sticks it through the sip hole of the strapless lid.

“He wanted to give you a strawberry acia refresher” Wu just looks at him confused. “You know, strawberries...which you’re allergic to.”

That seemed to jog Wu’s memory as recognition flashed in his eyes. “Oh hey! You’re the guy- Hasook did you know,” Wu stops to read his name tag, “Mako here saved my life,” Wu stops again to look at his drink. “Twice now actually.”

“Yeah well you should be more careful.” Mako admonishes.

“Ugh I know I know, I just always forget that I’m allergic to strawberries. I get it confused with bee stings.” Wu says, taking his first sip happily.

A mobile order comes in and Mako moves tog tab the sticker. “How do you get those two mixed up?”

“Do you have any allergies?”

“Um, no”

“Then you wouldn’t understand.” Wu says, taking another sip of his drink. “I really am lucky you were there though, and that you remembered it was strawberries. What are you doing here though, don’t you work at the one downtown?”

“Oh um, yeah I do, but you can pick up shifts at other stores.” This conversation has already gone on a lot longer then any other costumer connection Mako had attempted to make. Making small talk wasn’t exactly his strong suit.

“Wow, so a hero and a hard worker,” Wu raises his brows, “I’m impressed. Let me guess you’re an animal lover too.” Wu grins.

“Oh no, that’d be my brother.” Wu laughs because of course he was teasing and Mako wishes he could hide in the back, “and I’m not a hero either.”

“Well, you definitely fooled me when you kinda saved my life, like a hero would.”

Mako is about to retort when Hasook interrupts from cash“Mako stop flirting with costumers, are you good up here by yourself if I go do the count?”

Mako can feel his face heating up. “I’m not, yeah I’ll be fine.” With a nod Hasook disappears into the back leaving Mako and Wu alone.

A phone alarm goes off, “Shit my break can’t already be over.” Wu pulled his phone from his pocket to stop the alarm.

“Oh well, uh, have fun at work.” Mako winces, he can’t even say see you later like a normal person.

“Yeah you too...” Wu turns to leave before turning right back to face Mako. “… I know this might be kind of, out of nowhere, but umm, your friends with Asami Sato right? Just because she talks about a Mako who works with her girlfriend Korra at Starbucks and, well that seems like a bit of a coincidence if you’re not actually the same person doesn’t it?” Wu speaks faster the longer he rambles, so by the end of it Mako is a little lost.

“Yeah, uh, I am, friends with Asami.”

“Great! So, you’re going to the Beifong’s party then. I would be worried if you weren’t, might die of anaphylactic shock.”

“Oh I’m-“ Mako was about to tell Wu he wasn’t actually going but, well he can always write his paper on Sunday. “yeah, I guess it is a good thing.”

Wu grins. “Great, so I’ll see you tonight then!” And with that he’s off back to work.

Mako wonders if there is still time to have Bolin have Huan get him something- nothing with strawberries though.
