Heroes || A LOK Fanfiction

Chapter 14

"We're ready!" Bolin and Korra scream as Asami and enter. 

"Not quite, you'll need these." Asami says as her and I hold up gear with Future Industries printed on it.

"Good morning Asami" Mako smiles. "Good morning sweetie" Asami says, causing a feeling of annoyance to slap itself through my mind. "Hey Dakota" Bolin says, a smile on his face.

"Hi sweetie" I say, slightly mocking Mako and Asami, which makes Korra laugh.

"Well, teammates, I'll see you before the match tonight. Asami and I have a lunch date." Mako says before leaving, with an arm linked with Asami. Rolling her eyes, Korra grabs her bag "I need to go train, see you guys tonight!".

"So, Dakota. There they go, here we are, all alone in the gym, just you and me, two alone people. Together. Alone." Bolin says as he puts both hands behind his head.

After out kiss, we've hung out, but I don't know if we're dating. Hopefully, I could figure that out today. 

"Did you want to go out to lunch Bolin?" I ask, a smile on my face. 

----------------------

After a great lunch with Bolin, full of laughs and stories, it was already time for the match. 

I sit in the small prep room by the arena, where Bolin had left me to go talk to Mako. "Hello!" Korra cheers as she waltzes into the room.

"You look happy" I state, making Korra grin. "Can you smell that Dakota?" she asks, making me shake my head. She responds with "It's the smell of victory".

A laugh escapes my mouth as Bolin and Mako join us. I sense a slight tension between the two, but I hug Bolin. "You're going to do great" I smile fondly before pulling away. "You all are going to do great".

"Just don't cheer to loud sidekick, don't need any distractions" Mako says, making me clench my fists. With a swipe of my fingers, water comes out of the air and I downpour it on top of him.

"Hey!" Mako and Korra say in anger, making Bolin and I look at each other in shock.

"Folks, after a year of waiting the Pro-bending Championship is finally here. Tonight is the first set of matches in our single elimination sixteen team bracket. And I gotta tell ya, these are the most tenacious and talented bending trios this arena has ever seen." a voice announces over the speakers. 

"Well, that's our cue" Mako says as he, Korra and Bolin step forward onto the platform.

Bolin looks at me, a small smile of his face as the platform propels forward.

Taking a breath, I step up towards the railing, hoping for the best.

"Introducing our first team, the Future Industries Fire Ferrets! And their opponents, the Red Sands Rabaroos!" the ring announcer calls out before the battle begins.

It goes by like a flash. Korra, Mako and Bolin are on fire, quickly they win round one, then the next round and the one after that. Already the match is over and they're declared the winners.

-----------------------------

"You were amazing!" I cheers as I run and hug Bolin as he and the others arrive into the small prep room.

"It wasn't anything really" Bolin says, trying to act tough. Rolling my eyes, I hug him again. Most of my energy was from Korra, who was bouncing with joy. "We should go out to dinner tonight in celebration!" I say to Bolin, making his smile grow even bigger.

"Congratulations, guys! You were so amazing out there." Asami says as she joins us, Pabu on her shoulder. She walks forward, and presses a kiss to Mako's cheek.

Instantly, I feel a spark of jealously rage from inside Korra.

A hand landed on my arm, making me turn. My eyes met with a pair of green ones, making me smile. "I know we just had lunch, but want to go get dinner?" he asks, making me look back to Korra, who stood awkwardly.

"Maybe we should invite Korra, she shouldn't have to eat alone" I say, making him nod his head.

As Bolin goes to talk to Korra about dinner, I walk up to Mako.

His eyes glare with mine, making a feeling of awkwardness to run through me. Was he still mad about the whole freezing his face thing? "What do you want sidekick?" Mako grumbles as Asami goes to fold his uniform.

"I'm letting you know that Bolin, Korra and I are going to dinner, so don't wait up" I say before starting to turn, before his voice catches me back.

"What are you doing with him Dakota?" Mako hisses quietly, making my eyes widen.

"What do you mean?" I say, making him roll his eyes. "Please, I heard all about Bato and how easily you threw him away, my brother doesn't need that" he growls, making my eyes harden.

"I wouldn't do anything to hurt Bolin" I growl before turning around and walking out with Korra and Bolin.
