The qualifying matches for the pro-bending tournament were just around the corner. You and your brothers have been training as much as possible to earn a spot for the past year but it was hard to find time since the three of you all had jobs to earn enough money for rent and food. 

"Come on, Bolin. You need to focus. We won't be able to get in if we don't work together."

"I'm trying, Mako! You're just making it difficult."

The three of you have all been frustrated with the lack of practice. Each of you all had different schedules that it was hard to coordinate when to practice. 

"Guys, we're not going to get anywhere if we just argue with each other. Just take a deep breath and focus on the task at hand."

Bolin actually takes a deep breath to calm himself down. Instead of calming down, Mako kicks one of the earth discs as hard as he can, aiming straight at you without realizing it.

"Fuck!"

You fall over, unable to stand on both legs because of the pain. They weren't heavy enough to cause significant damage but it was enough to really hurt someone if it was directed at a specific spot. 

"(y/n)!"

Your two brothers rush over to you, inspecting the injury that you had sustained from the disk. Your foot was already swelling, Mako and Bolin tried to take your shoes off but stopped when you cried out. 

"(y/n), I'm so sorry. I..I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just an..."

Bolin hit him over the head, stopping him from talking any further. He wanted to be mad at Mako but it would have to wait since you were still crying. 

"We'll get you to a hospital. Just hold on.."

"No! We can't afford a hospital. I know a water bender that can help heal this."

"But you're hurt, you need a professional to look at it."

"Bolin! I love you but now is not the time to argue with the one who is injured. Carry me to my friends place. If you step foot in the hospital, I would literally walk myself out."

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Mako picked you up in his arms and followed your directions to the apartment.

"So how did this happen, this looks like it was done on purpose."

You sigh as you look out the window. You could've lied to your friend but she would've been able to see right through you. 

"Mako accidentally kicked it."

"He what?! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind."

You grabbed her hand, stopping her from walking out to her living room where Mako and Bolin were waiting for the two of you. 

"He didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident."

"That accident is going to stop you from going to work and participating in the tournament. You won't be able to really use it for 2-3 weeks. That's if you actually rest from using your foot."

"I can't any time off for anything. I need to go to work and participate in the tournament. We need the money."

Your friend felt bad for you. She wished she could've been a better healer but there was only so much she could do.

"If you want to return back to work and the tournament, you're going to need to rest, (y/n). There's no other way to heal faster."

She steps out, leaving you alone to think about what she had told you. Several minutes later and Mako comes in with Bolin.

"Your friend told us about you needing to rest."

"What? I don't need to rest. I'm fine, Bolin."

You give them a smile and climb out of the bed, quickly tripping as soon as you stepped on your injured foot. Mako was close enough to catch you before you hit the ground. 

"You're not fine. You're going to rest."

"But, Mako.."

"But nothing, (y/n). Mako is right. You're going to rest. Just let us take care of you and we'll figure out what we'll do about the tournament."

You glared at them, hating how they were teaming up against you. It was rare whenever they agreed on things. 

"Fine. But I'm still coming to the practices, right Mako?"

"Uh..yeah."

Bolin rolled his eyes, knowing that Mako would not tell you no since he was feeling guilty about the injury. 

"Okay but you're not participating. All you'll do is watch."

"No promises."
