Summary: “Some of the cafes in Little Ba Sing Se are reopening,” Bolin tells Wu because unlike him, Bolin has been an active participant in this conversation, laughing and adding his own anecdotes, “you should go with Mako while you’re here.” There’s something off about Bolin’s tone, but Mako doesn’t have the time or presence to analyze it yet, too busy looking away before Wu looks at him again, his gaze a heavy, solid weight. “That’d be nice,” Wu agrees, and he’s looking at him, Mako can feel it even as he stares fixedly on his plate, pushes the carrots around, sloshing sadly in the sauce from the dumplings. “Just like old times, eh, Mako?” A small smile slips past his lips, “I doubt they’ll have smoothies already, though.” “Some sacrifices must be made, I suppose,” he sighs, dramatic and playful, and it hooks a chuckle out of Mako, quiet and sincere. “You’ll live,” Mako says dryly, ducking down to hide his persistent smile. “Is that a yes, then?” * Or; Wu comes to visit Republic City, Bolin and Korra are very invested in their lives, and Mako learns how to take a break every once in a while.

Recommendation: This was so good! I'll probably come back with a more in depth rec later but suffice it to say it was good stuff.
