Officer Mako x Reader

Chapter 54: Reasonable & Unorthodox

(Okay. A thousand apologies yet again for not posting but soooo much shit was going on I can barely keep up:

1. This bitch I've been told I can't fire at my job is taking laxatives at work to go home early. Like we went through her desk and found two giant ass bottles. I literally I hate her so damn much I want to quit so bad. 💀💀

2. I passed all my classes and my finals 😭😭 no thanks to this bitch at my job making my life a literal fucking hell.

3. I bought a car. My first car. (I know, I'm soooo late, but my city has great public transportation) But get this. I bought it off a random Uber driver who drove me to work last month. And what I thought was a friendly mutual transaction was not that. As soon as I got the car home, this man was texting me: you looked so good today. I just wanted to kiss all over your body.

UHHH EXCUSE ME?? Sir, you're like 60 years old.🤢  He told me not to be a stranger after we got all the paperwork squared away, but best believe I've been pretending like I don't even know that guy. 

But I guess, pretty privilege wins again lmmmaaaaooooo. 

4. After a stressful ass semester, I am off for the next week. I will be leaving for North Carolina tomorrow and then Atlanta on Thursday, so I like have to post tonight because I will be MIA again.

5. I am 3 months celibate, and literally every man I've ever talked to is clawing their way back into my life. Whether it's calling me at 1:00 am to ask me to go to the movies. Friend requesting me on FB after we haven't spoken in years. Or actively trying to sleep with me when I had a few drinks. Story time on that below:

6. My city got hit with the craziest thunderstorm last week, and 400,000 people lost power. So I was forced to go to my ex's house. We were having a good time watching movies and drinking wine. He went to bed first. I joined later, and then I felt this man trying to kiss me. Like SIRRRRR what part of I'm celibate aren't we getttttingggggg???? Anyways, he left the next morning because he was celebrating his bday in another state, and I didn't have power for 4 days, but I just thought the whole ordeal was so wild. 

7. My BFF is moving in with that married man. It's a canon event. We cannot interfere 😭😭😭😭

I think that's everything other than my younger brother saving some guy from a burning car. He was on the news and everything. Okay. I think that's all my updates. Sorry again for the short chapters but I literally have to pack for this damn trip😫

ILYSM. TTYL

[Bay View] - Mako's apartment

"Dollface," Mudo called softly when he stepped out onto the balcony to join you, "C'mon. I said some things, you said some things. Let's call this silly feud even and get these cuffs off me," he grinned,

You ignored him. Because nothing about this situation was funny to you. Having Mudo here, with only his word as compliance with Viper still hot on your trail, tired you, even if it meant you and Mako were on better terms than you left this morning,

"I've buried a lot of men in that water," Mudo nodded toward the bay, watching the waves wash the shore in the distance, "That's where Mako's are too,"
"He's not corrupt," you snapped beneath your breath,
"You're right," Mudo breathed, "Sometimes I forget he was just a scared little kid living on the streets, stealing change out of my coat pocket," he chuckled lightly, "Viper saw Mako's potential the second I snatched his arm,

15 years ago

"There's gotta be a way to get eyes in on this game," Viper huffed angrily, marching ahead down the busy market with a cigar between his lips,
"You know Pemba cheats," Shin scoffed, "Why else would he bring his own dealer?"
"I'm well aware that Pemba's a halfwit fraud," Viper hissed, "My point is, how do we catch him in the act? The whole circle's gotta know. Otherwise, I just look like a sore loser,"
"You are though," Mudo teased,
"Hmph. Says the man, who's about to be robbed by a child?" Viper smirked,
"What? Hey! Kid!" Mudo shouted, grabbing Mako before he could dash away, "Do you know what we do to thieves around here!?"
"Hmph. Says the thief," Viper chuckled, "Cut him loose, Mudo. Besides, all the money in your pocket is my money, so in actuality, kid, you were stealing from me," he smiled widely,
"Back off," Mako ordered, hurling a fireball at Viper's feet,
"Woah. Firebender too huh?" Viper nodded, a tad impressed, completely unfazed by Mako's temper, "Listen kid. You need money?" he smiled, squatting to Mako's level, "I need a kid who can shuffle cards,"
"Shuffle?"
"Yeah. We're headed to a little poker game now. Shuffled good and I'll pay you more than what you were planning to steal out of Mudo's pocket,"
"W-What about my brother?" Mako asked, looking back to where Bolin was cowering in the alleyway across the street,
"Oh. Two of you. Firebender?" Viper asked with a sly grin,
"Earthbender," Mako answered hesitantly,
"Does he know how to count?"
"Up to 100," Mako nodded,
"He'll do. I just know Pemba's stashing chips too,"
"Pemba?" Mako asked,
"You'll learn," Viper breathed, "And now that you're a Triple Threat. Learn fast," he ordered, helping Mako to his feet, "Get your brother. Let's go,"


"When did he..." you almost asked, cutting Mudo's story short, your eyes still locked on the shore,
"About eight years ago," Mudo answered flatly, "Viper's orders,"
"Bolin was supposed to go, wasn't he?" you asked, thinking back to Mako's nightmare,
"He was,"
"Y'know. Viper made my life a living hell, too. Just because we were a...thing, doesn't mean I actually got special treatment," you huffed at him,
"Fair enough," Mudo chuckled, "Guess I was a little peeved as all. Seeing as both of these men have a weakness for you,"
"Hey, I warned Mako to stay away. He chose this for himself," you scoffed,
"And now, he's willing to die for you just as much as Viper is willing to kill for you,"
"Ugh. Must you always speak in riddles? What the hell are you talking about now?"
"Your brother," Mudo nodded, "Viper had me dangle him in that same bay when he found out Shah tried to kill you,"
"That wasn't him. S-Shah was just acting crazy,"
"You always cover for him?"
"No. But I...I-I know him,"
"Know him enough to know he's coming for you? One way or another,"
"I know that now," you confessed in defeat,
"Mako know?"
"No. And I don't plan on telling either," you snapped, "He better not know a damn thing about it or I'll stab you in the other lung. I mean it. I need to talk to Shah. Alone. If Mako finds out, he'll flip,"
"No need for threats, Dollface, my lips are sealed," Mudo grinned slyly, "As long as these cuffs come off long enough for me to enjoy a grilled steak and another glass of bourbon,"
"Ugh. Deal. But you're getting cuffed to the coffee table while we sleep tonight," you threatened,
"Hmph. You can cuff me to this balcony if you please. Just as long as I get a meal and some liquor to wash it down,"
"Glad to know you can be bribed with an incentive," you scoffed, rolling your eyes in annoyance,
"What can I say? I'm an easy man to please Dollface,"


[Crystal Catacombs]

"Okay. Now that wasn't fair," Shah chuckled, pulling Kuvira into his lap when he plopped onto the bed and pressing his hard on into her thigh,
"Hmm. Not sure I know what you're talking about," Kuvira cooed into his neck,
"In the car? With 93?" Shah breathed with his hand clasped around Kuvira's throat,
"Not ringing a bell to me," Kuvira fibbed in between kisses, after dropping the straps of her dress,
"Oh, you're in for it," Shah smirked, tackling Kuvira to the mattress and tearing her out of her dress without a second thought,
"Ahh! This was a gift from Rohai," Kuvira gasped while he feasted on her nipples,
"Mmph. He'll buy you another one," Shah grinned as he pushed his waist between her legs, stripping out his pants quickly just to tease her wetness, "And that better be all he buys you," he hissed, gripping Kuvira's throat even harder to keep her still, "Otherwise I'm gonna have to gut him just like I plan to gut Hatir,"
"Shah!" Kuvira panted, taking all of him with no warning, "Shit. Y-You know they're listening,"
"Yeah? They better listen good too," Shah heaved, inching himself further, "Because I'm not letting up tonight,"


[Bay View]

"So, did we reach an agreement?" Mako asked when you and Mudo joined him in the kitchen while he was busy salting four steaks on a cutting board,
"We did," you nodded with your arms crossed,
"And?" Mako chuckled, pulling you into the kitchen with him and lifting you onto the counter, "Cuffs come off for dinner and drinks only," you answered sternly, "At night, he's cuffed to the coffee table,"
"Reasonable and unorthodox," Mako grinned, "I like it. Now, my next question is, how do you like your steak?"
"Medium,"
"Good to know," Mako winked,
"I like mine medium too," Mudo added,
"You get it how I make it–
"Okay," Jay breathed when he came through the door, "I come bearing gifts,"
"You get everything?" Mako asked,
"Two guns," Jay nodded, setting both of them on the counter, "And all of her stuff," he sighed, "Which was heavy by the way,"
"Oh, I'm sorry, was one duffel bag and a flight of stairs too much for you?" you teased,
"It was two flights of stairs and yes, it was," Jay corrected you, "Not all of us live at the gym like your boyfriend here,"
"You say that like I don't invite you," Mako chuckled,
"Yeah. At 4:00 am!"
"Easy," Mako laughed as he carried the steaks to the grill on the balcony, "Grab a glass and pour yourself a drink. For once, we're going to have a relaxing night,"
