This part isn't really part of the story line and if you don't celebrate Christmas I'm sorry I just felt like writing something Christmasy.
Amon was gone, took his brother with him. So now Republic City didn't need Tenzin as much anymore. Snow drifted from the grey sky. Pema was forcing you and Korra into nice Christmas clothes and you and Korra weren't very happy even though it was a city event to celebrate Amon's downfall. Everyone was invited and Asami was letting her old house be used as the party place. You were still in brown sweatpants and a (FC) t shirt helping decorate and light up the gigantic tree that was set up in the ballroom area which was just the enormous area before the staircase. You had just place a glass ornament that had an elegant (first initial) engraved in it. You had just put it on a branch when a loud voice called from behind you.
"Hey (YN)!" Bolin's cheery voice called. You flinched. Nobody knew what Amon had done to you and it had broken you. Only Korra seemed to have noticed so far. But with your flinch you knocked your precious ornament hit the ground with a shatter. The glass sliced across your foot. You didn't yelp only looked down at the blood that trickled down your foot. You lifted it off the ground with a hiss.
"Oh. Ooh. I'm so sorry." Bolin winced. You were enveloped in Mako's smell when he lifted you off the ground.
"Come on let go get that foot all bandaged up." Mako sighed carrying you up the staircase. You were half conscious of how much you must weigh nut ignored it as Mako opened the door to a bathroom and set you on the counter a drop of crimson hitting the ivory tiles. Mako was gentle as he cleaned your foot. After he bandaged it Mako stood not letting you go. Not yet. You felt that horrible familiarity of being cornered. And unable to do a thing about it. Mako must have noticed your fear and backed away.
"What happened to you?" Mako asked his voice soft. You looked away biting your lip to keep it from wobbling. "We all noticed you being different as of late nobody wanted to approached the subject though." Mako explained himself.
"Amon." You choked out. Mako tilted his head not understanding.
"What did he do?" Mako asked determined now.
"The unthinkable." You looked into his golden eyes now. Mako's eye widened in horror rage filled them to the brim.
"Oh no." He whispered, Mako rested his head in the crook of your neck. "I'm sorry. I should've protected you!" Mako said you were tense until you wrapped your arms around him.
"Mako you helped stop Amon. You couldn't have done anything more to have made me prouder." You soothed. Mako wrapped his arms around your waist hugging you. You wiped away tears and hopped off the counter. "Come on." You whispered. You had barely made three steps until Pema had you by the ear dragging you into the ladies powder room.
"You are supposed to be dressed by now." She scolded. You groaned as she shoved a Christmas red dress into your hands. She made you pull it on. It was short and the torso was skin tight but the skirt poofed out. The long sleeves hugged your arms perfectly. You let Pema pull your hair into a messy ponytail and do your makeup. You pulled on the black tights and black Mary Janes. You looked in the mirror happy with your appearance. You walked out just in time to see Korra and Asami all dressed up as well. You grinned at them arm in arm you all walked down the grand staircase to see the city already here, classical music playing the holiday music loud and proud. You all waved at them huge smiles on your face. You jumped the last three steps moving elegantly through the crowd avoiding everyone's limbs as they dance and ate. That is until you ran into someone. You looked up seeing a man older and he gripped your wrists.
"May I have this dance?" He grinned. You couldn't say no as he swept you into a waltz. You struggled against his grip until he stopped and you were wrapped up in Mako's scent.
"Excuse me but she doesn't seem to want to dance with you." He growled removing the man's hands. The man growled and walked away. Mako smiled before bowing slightly to you you curtsied in response laughing a little.
"May I have this dance?" He smiled.
"Of course." You responded.
