Flameo, Hotman!

        His metal armor had a tint of coal and stood out the most from his appearance. The armor looked like a vest on top of his red long sleeved polo. He wore black pants and leather boots with huge buckles at the sides that caused the clanging earlier. A brown half glove hung from his waist while his sleeves were folded up high similar to Bolin's style.

A stern look reflected on his face. Wrinkles built up on the side of his eyes and a slightly grey goatee covered his upper lip down to his chin. Long silver streaks of hair fell on the side of his face that went around his temple.

"Hey, bro." a cold smile crept out of his lips.

After Mako spoke up, Bolin ran towards his brother and gave him a long hug. The Chief chuckled a bit and pulled away to hold Bolin's shoulders.

"MAKO! Why in the world were you gone for so long?" Bolin asked with a few more questions to follow up.

"Why didn't you let me in the station? You didn't even go home for 5 years! 5 WHOLE YEARS!" Mako raised his hand on Bolin's face.

"I'll tell you when we get home." his smile warmed up Bolin's heart in the thought that his brother will finally come back with him.

Mako glanced at the woman lying on the bed "How're you feeling 'Sami?"

"Hey, Mako." Asami paused for a bit and placed her hand at her side "Quite better actually. It was far more painful earlier." She stated

"What happened to you anyways? Why didn't you show up for a long time? Was it because of…uhmm… Korra?" Asami asked the questions that were hanging at the edge of her tongue.

Mako bowed his head and sighed "I-I'm sorry I've been pushing you guys away for such a long time. And, yes. It's about Korra. It just didn't feel right without her around, you know? I felt like a part of our team was gone when she left. It wasn't the same anymore."

Asami saw Mako's cheeks running with tears. She was struck by the words Mako said.

Mako always loved Korra more than Asami but, Korra didn't choose Mako, she chose someone who understands her better, Asami. He was greatly confused when the two women he loved before ended up being together. This event made Mako feel powerless. He felt like he failed to love someone he truly cared about. What's worse, is when Korra started to show signs of weakness that made her very sick. Afterwards, this led to Korra's untimely death. Mako's heart fell in despair as he watched his loved one pass.

Asami could feel the tension in the room. She could see how Mako's emotions were overflowing and how she bitterly thought about Mako's past relationship with Korra.

After a few weeks when Asami and Korra returned from the spirit world, Mako laid his eyes back on Korra again. He was desperate to get back with the Avatar. It was when Mako secretly kissed Korra at the top of the Spirit Tower when the Avatar needed someone to talk to and Asami just wasn't there for her. Korra had so much in thought and never noticed that her lips were brushing against Mako’s. The kiss deepened just before a heavy kick fell on Korra's ribs. Korra fell down to the ground and widened her eyes to see Asami standing in front of them with her fists clenched. Mako was also surprised that the CEO was there all along.

After the incident, Asami forgave Korra but ignored Mako until Korra got sick.

She sighed and shrugged her shoulders "C'mon, Mako. Don't get all touchy around here. You're the Chief of Police, for spirits sake!"
