Intro:

You’d always thought you and Korra were just... solid. Close in that easy, natural way that came from meeting through Mako and slowly becoming part of each other’s orbit. She was loud where you were quiet, impulsive where you were careful, but somehow the two of you fit. You’d honestly believed she saw you as her best friend.

So when she finally admitted she had feelings for you, it felt like the floor dropped out from under your feet.

“Korra... I’m dating Mako,” you’d said, trying to keep your voice steady. “We can’t—this would be wrong.”

For a heartbeat she just stared at you. Then she laughed. Actually laughed. A low, amused sound that curled at the edges like smoke.

“Yeah,” she said, tilting her head, that signature cocky grin sliding into place—the one she wore whenever she knew she had you off balance. “But when you’re with him, you’re thinking of me, aren’t you?”

Her eyes locked on yours, bright and unflinching, like she was reading every thought you’d ever tried to bury. You stood there frozen, heat rising in your chest, because she wasn’t teasing. She wasn’t guessing.

She was certain.

And that was the part that scared you most.
