No, it's — [ hands over his face. this is going all wrong and it's so... embarrassing to admit this. ] I don't think anyone's... gonna even come close to you for me, okay?

[ he didn't want to have this conversation. he doesn't want to have this conversation. ]

An I don't want to be here so...

[ sdlkgjslk sighhhhhhhhh ] See where I'm going with this?

[ slight awkwardness seeps into her words, and she doesn't quite make eye contact with mako just yet ]

Even though I was horrible and kind of ... jumped on any reason to fight with you?

[ mako folds his arms over his chest, his shoulders rising as he sinks down against his chair, takes a deep breath. ]

I'm not saying I liked that part — but it's not like it cancelled the caring or liking out. Just... made it really hard.

[ a long, slow pause, as he weighs what he's thinking about and how to say it, whether or not it matches how he feels. (if she asked right now if they could be... a they again, would he jump at that chance? or does he know better now, has he learned they work better as friends than anything else? he still cares.) ]

If it had been that bad, we probably wouldn't still be friends.

[ more than anyone else, korra has become more acutely aware of her faults as she knows them, and she doesn't like thinking about how she was to mako... but she doesn't want to deny it, either. that would be even worse. if asked that question, the same one mako is thinking about right now, korra's not sure what the answer would be.

she cares about him, yes, but she's not certain she still loves him in a romantic manner. platonically, definitely — she never truly got to know mako as a friend before chasing after him, and now she wouldn't trade that for the world. but mostly korra's just not sure she's cut out for relationships. maybe if she'd had a normal childhood with people, raised in the thick of her tribe instead of on the outskirts, made normal friends and developed her social skills more gradually, this outcome would have been different. ]

Yeah, you're probably right.
