The name is not cute.

Or - if it is cute, it shouldn't be cute! I'm not cute! I'm the Avatar, I'm supposed to be like, the opposite of cute, all right? And this thing you have about matching, it's sort of weird. I know we're a team - go Team Avatar! - but don't you think this is going a little too far? Maybe you should get out more, you know, find a hobby that doesn't involve pretending you're me. I'm just saying.

[A long pause]

And stop saying that stuff about me and Asami!

[hormonebending]

That's what I said, too. [He crosses his arms over his chest before pausing. And then:] About the names.

[Aaaand another pause.] What stuff is she saying?

[bendingbending]

What's wrong with y-- [Oh. Okay she's just going to laugh at you know in a huge Avatar-style sporfle.

Which abruptly cuts off at his next questions] Uh - nothing! She's not saying anything, ahah, why would you think that? That's stupid, Mako.

[hormonebending]

[:|]

You just said that your mun was saying things about you and Asami. Why else would I think that?

[fightsandfires]

You sure like to complain a lot.

[bendingbending]

What? No I don't!

[fightsandfires]

You really do.

[moneybending]

It is cute, though! I told Mako the same thing, but he didn't agree with me, either. I'm sure Bolin will, once he shows up.

[and then there is a pause of her own]

What 'stuff'?

[bendingbending]

I...am really not the person to be commenting on whether or not something is cute, I'm pretty sure. [Trying to be friendly!!! Is it working???

Brbing choking] Nothing! There's - it's nothing! There's no stuff!

[moneybending]

No, I suppose not. [She laughs a little.] You'll just have to trust me, in that case.

...Are you sure? You can trust me, you know, Korra. [C'mon Korra we're buddies it's not like we both dig the same boy or anything right]

[feelsbending]

Of course I will.


What am I agreeing about?

[moneybending]

Our matching account names! They're adorable, don't you think?

[lovemesomepie]

I wouldn't say that.

[Cue the patented Dean Winchester once-over.

Dean what are you doing Korra is jailbait.]

[bendingbending]

[Blinking at him. That went way over her head] What?

[lovemesomepie]

Nothin' says you can't be cute and tough at the same time. [He winks and chuckles.]

[snowcloak]

Being cute just means people aren't paying attention until you're knocking them off their feet. It actually works out pretty nicely.

[Not like he would know anything about that. Nope, totally above-board this one! No really hey why are you laughing mun]

[bendingbending]

[Korra's just going to. Stare for a moment. She seems pretty delighted, though] What are you?

[formerly_known_as_prince]

Ugh, I totally know how you feel.

[bendingbending]

About the cute thing?

[fireprince]

So you're the new Avatar? [Hey, he hasn't officially met one of you yet.] I've - heard a lot about you.

[bendingbending]

Ah-- [Awkward laugh, scratching the back of her head] Yeah, that's me! I - wait. [Staring at him] Fire Lord Zuko?

[nodisintegrations]

The names are just one more way they can try and get inside our heads, or make bad jokes at our expense, and if I wanted that, I work with plenty of guys who will do it for me.

[bendingbending]

It doesn't sound like you hang out with very nice people.

[feelsbending]

I know, what is she thinking?

You're totally cute!

[missed the point: ding ding ]

[bendingbending]

Bolin--

[She can't help but laugh] That's kind of the opposite of what I was saying.

[hormonebending]

Bolin.
