You did WHAT?!

[vavavroom]

This is not my idea.

[spats]

I didn't think it was.

[vavavroom]

[ ...she saw that. ]

Were you really going to...?

[spats]

[ He's stealthy like a stealthy thing, you saw nothing. ]

Doesn't matter now.

[vavavroom]

I'm going to fight it. She can't do that to me.

[spats]

You'll be okay.

[vavavroom]

I know that. [ of course she'll be okay, she'll always just be okay-- ] That's not the point.

You're not even going to object? [ do you not care about her that much that it doesn't matter she'll have to sleep with other people? ;; ]

[spats]

[ ogmwkmjka OMG WOMAN. ]

Why should I? There's another one of me over there to keep an eye out for you.

[vavavroom]

There's a Korra there too.

[ which means he miiiiiiight be busy. ]

And how do you know that'll even matter? Have you heard of the things that happen there?

[spats]

What do you want me to do, Asami?

[ He can't very well reassure her the other Mako isn't post-trauma over Korra's kidnapping. ]

Of course I know what goes on there, I don't like it one bit.

[cascades]

[she doesn't even know mako and bolin are in zodion yet... in the game anyway.

so she has no idea what to say to this.]

Maybe she'll change her mind!

[vavavroom]

Then don't tell me I'll be okay. [ don't give up. ] Tell me I can fight this.

[vavavroom]

I'll make her.

[spats]

[ bbgurl ;; ]

I know you can, you're the bravest woman I've ever known. If you can fight your own family, this'll be a breeze. [ Shhh, taking her hands now and giving a squeeze. ] That you might give up never even crossed my mind.

[cascades]

[oh asami how she misjudged you.]

Yeah, you will. Underestimating you is a huge mistake -- you're really strong, Asami.

[vavavroom]

[ it's weird how familiar yet foreign his hands feel around hers now... ]

..she'll be busy. She probably won't even get to my app before she loses her nerve.

[vavavroom]

[ --oh. this is. awkward.

um. ]

...thanks, Korra. [ she shifts a little. ] Listen, I - I heard there's a Mako there too and. I just want you to know, it's - [ well, no, not really okay ] - you don't have to worry. About me.

[spats]

Then I guess I'll have a reason to celebrate.

[ Have a kiss on the forehead, sweetie. It's always kind of jarring how she expects him to be on his toes, waiting to leap off after Korra, so he simply tries to be reassuring. ]

[vavavroom]

[ and it's jarring how often he doesn't.

at least here, anyway. his lips linger, and so does she, but eventually she shifts away with a forced, quiet laugh. ]

Something tells me you've done enough partying, though.

[spats]

[ Future!Mako is an asshole, he's decided. 8( There go his gf hugs ... ]

It was less of a party and more of an excuse to see you — er, her. The you there. The morning after was enough to make me never want to go to another party again.

[vavavroom]

[ it's actually kind of really painful to see a mako still willing to give it a try. when the one she knows has already moved on.

auuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh okay okay no, don't be bitter, gurl, be supportive. at least one version of you can be happy, right? ]

Did you get to talk to me - her - at least?

[spats]

[ This is a weird conversation all around. ]

We decided to go on a break while she figures out some stuff.

[vavavroom]

[ WHAT. is she crazy?!





...actually, no, it makes sense. ;; power to you, asami-bro. ]

I guess that's to be expected. But it's not an official break up so... who knows.

[spats]

It wasn't my choice to do this.

[ Shrugs. He's not sure how many more ways he can pull off trying to win her back. Showing her how the flame in his hand flickered with his rising heartbeat when she's around turned into a massive flop. ]

You — she knows about the kiss, I told her. That's the main reason, because I'm an idiot.
