Chapter Text
It was snowing in Republic City.
Mako and Bolin had been sleeping. The snow muted the city's sounds so they were able to sleep in later than usual.
Until the first snowball hit their window.
At the sound, Bolin fell out of bed in shock and Mako, twisted in his blankets, was standing on top of his bed in fighting position. The brothers looked at each other in confusion, and Mako slowly lowered his fists.
"Wha-"
Smack!
The second snowball hit their window.
Cautiously, the brothers walked toward the window. The third snowball struck right after Bolin had pressed his nose to the glass. For the second time that morning, he found himself falling to the floor.
Mako yanked open the window and stuck his head out intending to yell at whoever was throwing the snowballs. All he got for his troubles was a face full of snow. While angrily wiping the snow away, he heard laughter from down below. He squinted trying to see who it was.
"Mako?" Bolin questioned from his spot on the floor. "We're on the top floor. Is it possible to throw snowballs that high?"
Scowling, Mako snapped the window shut. "It is if you're a waterbender." He paused. "And airbending probably doesn't hurt either."
"Korra?"
"Korra." He began digging out his winter coat.
"You're going out in this?" Bolin gestured to the falling snow that was picking up speed.
"We are going out in this."
Bolin looked surprised. "No. I am not going out in this." Another snowball hit the window.
"You think she'll stop that if I go down there without you?"
Bolin sighed and grabbed his winter coat. "Your girlfriend is a pain in the ass." Another snowball hit the window. "And impatient."
"Yeah, I know."
