Officer Mako x Reader

Chapter 48: More Than Loyalty

(Okay. Where do I even begin!? Ugh. Guys. I met someoneeee! 🥰🥰🥰And he's already 15X better than my coworker omg. His name is Cody. He's tall. He's fit with immaculate arms and a six-pack. He's a plumber. He owns a home. He's generous with his wallet. The man can't go two seconds without touching me or holding my hand everywhere we go. He planned 3 perfect dates for us this past week. He's so damn sweet to me and the peen????? OMFG. Like he's literally perfect. Oh, I didn't even tell you the best part– my BFF dared me to bring Cody to this work event over the weekend to make my hot coworker jealous. I didn't want to invite him because I didn't want him to be bored around a bunch of strangers, but he was delighted to be my date for the evening. I told him to come at 6:00, and he showed up at 4:45 (15 mins after I told I'd be there) because he didn't want to be late😭😭. I met him outside, and he goes: soooooo, how long do you want to tell your coworkers we've been dating? I said he can tell them whatever he wants. But my hot coworker (the one who led me on for two years) was definitely jealous. I was running around trying to set up the tablecloths and I heard him ask Cody what does he do, how did we meet, like sir, is that your business?????? Ugh. But kudos to Cody for being the most charming man ever. All of my normal coworkers approved of him, and a few of them came up and said we looked so cute together. This was such a dramatic change in my life that I can't even believe I met him, and we clicked so well. 

Side note: This ain't even my tea, but it's so juicy I gotta spill. One of my other BFF's who's never even kissed a guy, is seeing a married man. 😶😭💀Okay, well, a man in the middle of a divorce, but he's still married. WITH KIDS. And she's willing to risk it all for him. I don't even know who that woman is anymore and I've known her since 4th grade, but claps for her. It's about time lmmmmaoooo. 😂😂

Well, only two more days until I'm off of work for three weeks. I will try to write since it's been fucking ages, but Cody has had me a little preoccupied😏

Second side note: OMFG, as I'm writing this rant to yinz, I just got an email that I got into school!!!! Damn, idk where my life is going, but I ain't mad at it. 

So sorry for going MIA AGAIN. The university is winding down, so that means a busy season for all the staff. Hope to post again soon.)

I swear!

-A

Jay knew he would find Mako. It was a matter of what state he was in when he found him, sitting on a bench by himself with his head in his hands,

"Are you done pouting?" Jay sighed as he sat down next to Mako,
"No," Mako sulked,
"Okay. Are you pissed at me for making you leave?" Jay asked curiously,
"No," Mako breathed before throwing his head back, "Because you were right," he admitted frustratedly, "I did scare her,"
"You were upset–
"Yeah, but I was acting just like!–
"Viper?" Jay questioned when Mako stood with his fists clenched, "Mako, you know you're nothing like him–
"I'm everything like him," Mako snapped, "And I'm even more pissed at myself for not realizing it sooner,"
"Mako, do you want to know why she didn't tell you?" Jay breathed,
"No–
"Too bad. I'm telling you anyway," Jay nodded, "She made me promise,"
"Fine. Why Jay?"
"Viper was going to kill you–
"Yeah, right," Mako scoffed with his arms crossed,
"I'm serious! She said he had his gun ready to fire, and if that didn't wor,k he was going to run you off the highway,"
"Okay. So she was...protecting me?" Mako asked,
"Exactly," Jay answered flatly, "She loves you Mako. She said she would've agreed to anything Viper wanted to save you from getting hurt,"
"Hm... so what she'd agree to for him to let her go?"
"I think you should ask her,"

[Crystal Catacombs] - Rohai's quarters

Kuvira had been standing outside Rohai's door for what felt like hours. She didn't know what to say. All she knew was Rohai gave her the freedom to handle Tenzin how she wanted, and Shah fucked it all up in a matter of seconds,

"You know he's expecting you, right?" 93 bowed when he snuck up behind her,
"Ugh. Shouldn't you be babysitting right now?" Kuvira scoffed back at him,
"Hmph. I'm actually on my way," 93 chuckled, "Granted, I should've known when Shah promised you a car at 8:00 pm, I would be the one calling it,"
"If you knew that, then why are you here creeping up behind me?"
"Because I wanted to make sure you knew that despite injuring the airbender, Shah made the right call," 93 breathed cautiously,
"He wasn't supposed to be injured at all," Kuvira snapped,
"The Dai Li gave Master Tenzin several warnings," 93 informed her quickly, "Not just yours. He ignored them. All for what? If you ask me, an injury was the least of his worries. A mere consequence of his foolishness,"
"Hmph. Perhaps," Kuvira nodded, "All I know now is if you ignore me again, you'll learn the true meaning of consequence," she threatened sharply, "Babysitting Shah is your slap on the wrist. I suggest you keep it as such,"
"Yes, Captain," 93 bowed before disappearing down the hall,
