        "Call it!" said Mako satisfactorily. They were all playing poker in his and Bolin's dimly lit tent and he just knew he was gonna win this round.
        "Ugh!" Korra groaned and threw her cards into the air. "I g-g-give up." She stuttered. Bolin threw in a couple of Yuans. Mako threw his cards down victoriously. His brother smiled mischievously.
        "I d-don't think s-s-so," he chattered. He laid his hand down and watched his firebending brother gawk.
        "What?!" he cried. "Not fair!" Bolin's blue lips stretched into a grin.
        "Is so," he countered. "You're the only w-warm one here, seeing as the fire can't be any bigger. I deserve s-s-something." Korra stared at them enviously.
        "At least you guys have something. I'm stuck here f-f-freezing to death and n-no cash." She muttered under her breath. "I'm gonna have frost bite by dawn." Bolin gathered up the money in front of him and shoved it in his bag. "I'm g-going to go and t-try to get some s-s-sleep." She said as she stood up. "N-night guys." They waved at her as she walked out of the stone tent. As soon as she was outside of the protection of the stone, all the warmth was sucked from her body. She felt like was going to freeze on the spot.
        "Korra!" she heard one of the boys call her name from inside the little hut. Glad for an excuse to go back in she turned and rushed back in.
        "Yea?" she asked as she returned to the shelter. Mako looked up from his brother lying unconscious on the ground. "Uh.. What happened to Bolin?" she pointed at the earthbender.  Make chuckled somewhat evilly.
        "I just thought he needed some sleep." He told her innocently. Korra raised an eyebrow but didn't ask anymore.
        "Okay then," she shook her head, "so what didja need?" Mako stood up and pulled his hood up over his head.
        "I was just thinking I could walk you to your tent." He said nonchalantly. "I know it's kinda cold out there." Korra raised her eyebrows just a tad, but shrugged it off.
        "Sure," she said, accepting his arm, "and you're right. It's freezing out there." Man, his arm is so warm, even through his jacket. She pulled her parka as tight as she could around her, and then she and the firebender trudged out into the storm.
        She, Bolin, and Mako had decided to take some time off. No pro bending, no air bending practice. Just getting away and relaxing. Korra had left Tenzin a note telling him what she was doing and that she would pay the consequences when she got home, but she just needed some time with her friends. The three fire ferrets had packed their bags and taken off on Naga, leaving Republic City behind them. They planned to only be gone for about two weeks; three at the maximum. After the first three and a half days of their trip, a light snow began to fall. They didn't realize it would turn into a blizzard by night fall.
        "I hope N-naga's alright," Korra said absent mindedly as she bent down and scrambled into her tent with Mako following close behind. It is so cold, she thought miserably. How am I ever gonna get to sleep? Unknown to her, Mako had sat down silently in the corner, she was so cold she couldn't even remember him coming into the tent with her. She crawled over to her bag and pulled out her thick jacket and fumbled with it with her gloved hands until it was over her head. At least she wasn't the only one who had to suffer. Bolin was freezing his butt off, too. She snickered at the thought as she climbed into her sleeping bag.
        "Lucky M-m-mako," she mumbled as she shivered uncontrollably. "He's the only one who c-contains an internal heat s-s-source." She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but it just wouldn't come. Mako sat in the corner smiling childishly. I should really go and warm her up, he thought, but maybe just another few seconds won't hurt. Her teeth were chattering and she was shivering so much that she didn't notice the light footfalls on the ground. Her eyes flew open when she heard her sleeping bag being unzipped.
        "M-m-mako!" she whispered, having completely forgotten about him following her. He didn't answer, just raised Korra's arms above her head. "What are y-y-you d-" Mako cut her off with a quick kiss. It was soft and warmed the avatar to the core. Mako pulled back and tugged her huge parka over her head. "W-what about Bolin?" she asked him through her trembling lips. Mako smiled as he continued to remove her thick jackets.
        "My brother's tough." He chuckled. "Once I convinced him he needed to get to bed, well, it was easy from there. He should be just fine." Korra smiled at this, and then gritted her teeth as the cold rushed around her body. All she had covering her torso now was her underclothes.
        "W-w-w-would y-you h-h-hurry up?!" she begged loudly. Mako's delicate fingers worked steadily and quickly as he unlaced her snow boots. She kicked them off and the firebender tossed them behind him.
        "Almost done," he said as he slid her thick, fur lined pants off and left her in nothing but her underclothes and her socks.
        "If your p-plan was to let me f-f-freeze then leave, but if y-y-you followed me s-s-s-so you could warm me up t-t-then get in here, d-d-d-dang it!" she yelled desperately as the bitingly cold wind rushed in her tent and sent chills though her. Mako laughed and crept into the sleeping bag, zipping it up behind him. Instantly Korra felt relieve flood through her body as the heat from the firebender engulfed her in the small sleeping bag. Her veins began pumping blood properly and her toes and fingers were starting to regain their feeling.
        "Better?" the firebender whispered softly. His warm breath washed over the waterbender and she nodded drunkenly, taking in every last bit of the warmth he had to offer.
        "Why the heck didn't you do this earlier?!" she accused, trying not to be to mean. She didn't want her new found heater to leave.
        "I didn't want my baby brother getting jealous," he said. Korra laughed lightly and then smiled. She suddenly thought of something.
        "Raise your arms," she commanded Mako.
        "Why?" he questioned. She rolled her eyes and glared at him. "Okay, okay," he raised his arms, questioning her request no further. She raised up his jacket, and then his shirt up over his head, making sure to leave his bright red scarf.
        "Very sexy," she mused. "Now stay put." Before the bewildered boy could ask why, she snuggled down under the lip of the bag and yanked down his pants, leaving him in his boxers.
        "Korra!!" he yelped in surprise. She popped back up with his trousers in her hand.
        "I'm cold," she complained. The firebender sighed exasperatedly as she threw his pants next to her bag.
        "Yea, I bet," he whispered. Korra giggled and nuzzled her face into his warm chest.
        "Mm, much better," she murmured. Mako laughed and wrapped his arms around her. "Finally warm," she sighed contentedly. Mako smiled and kissed her gently. It was warm, soft and sweet, but it sent such a fire through her she thought she would spontaneously combust. He pulled back and Korra whimpered in protest.
        "Sleep," he whispered, pulling her closer. She rubbed her legs against his, warming them up.
        "Fine," she grumbled, "Just don't let me get frostbitten, alright?" She yawned and sank beneath the lip of the bag once more as unconsciousness began to take her. Mako smiled and closed his eyes.
        "I promise," he smiled as she fell asleep in his arms. "I love you."
