im framing this

For personal reasons

ANYWAYS AHHHHHH IM GLAD YOU ENJOY MY WEIRD TAGS THEYRE JUST ME RANTING CAUSE I LOVE EVERUTHING YOU WRITE

Being on the streets would definitely be harder. There goes their instant ability to both warmth and shelter. As physically exerting as it may have been for two children, it’s two things less that they have to search for. Which means they either had to resign to being within an orphanage, maybe even being so desperate that they had to accept the fact that they may have had to settled with being separated if it meant living. Or they had joined the triad sooner and maybe had become more involved then they had been having worked with them longer.

Although ... being non-benders there could be a chance that they wouldn’t get very much from the triad. They still could run numbers and messages but not having the relationship that at least Mako developed enough to get lightning generation training could mean they get less from them. 

If Toza took them in regardless of their bending, they probably did janitorial work. That still gives Korra an “in” to the pro-bending arena. I can see Bolin having a special spot to watch the games and willing to share it with Korra upon meeting her. 

Meeting Asami might be harder though and I can’t see any romance happening between her and Mako honestly. Mainly because the only way I can imagine the boys meeting her is because Korra meets her first. Just like I can’t really see Korra developing a crush on Mako. Part of what got her attention with Mako was his abilities in the ring, honestly. Yes he’s handsome but he’s also a socially awkward jerk. He’s not here to make friends so without a team to save last minute and no real reason to hang around her a lot I can see very little developing between them. 

He is there for Bolin first and foremost and without the fame saving them from the possibility of ending back on the streets, he has to work harder.

I can’t see either of them being a part of the equalist movement but if money was offered then maybe Mako would be the one to join. That or if someone knew about their parents and knew the right screws to turn. Wanting to protect people from ending up like them, working for a better future for his brother. Then Mako might rethink about being a part of it. 

Vy runs his hand around Hayden's hair, knowing he feels just the same way as Hayden does, he loves him, and he would be miserable without him, River looking a little startled at Chris, having forgotten just how he could materialize like that, wrapping his arm around Rylan, knowing he probably didn’t enjoy this talk any more than the rest of them. 

“We were warned by a dragon, Li'Roshan, they warned us to be careful, that they're a tenacious bunch and have even managed to hunt a kill a dragon god of their world, they're nearly all gone, this is why the hunters are starting to hunt in other worlds. As for the other thing, the shelter, I'll have to talk with my master. I know I am "free" but I still have to answer to him and have a job to do... But I'll think about it.”

River sighs, he wished he had come back in better circumstances, and he wished the Shelter was their only concern. He notices Chris nodding and clearly thinking about something before he talks again. 

“I'll talk a bit more with my boss about it, there could be a way to have a warning system, a ring that will warn if they all have a gene or something so we would know if their close by. Sadly I can't stay long, natural disasters do not take family matters into mind somehow. Talk to your master, I'll talk with death, and we'll talk more when I am back?” “Sounds good, speaking off... I should head back, tell him what I know and what we have talked about.”

Vy looked at Hayden who seemed to already be more asleep than he was awake by the heaviness his head had against his shoulder, Vy gently moving and pulling him onto his lap so he could sleep and rest there. Chris looked at his husband for a bit, knowing how he would have wanted him to be there more than he has been lately, but it was part of the deal with what he was. Giving his husband a kiss, he vanishes the same way he appeared, Rylan looking over at RIver as he sees his brother is already asleep. 

“You want to walk me there then?” “Yeah, through the portal this time though, right?” “And you will both be back here after?”

Hayle looks at River, already having plans to make the guest room his room much like they made a room for Vy. Not that he thinks he would spend too much time there, but to make it feel like home. 

“Yeah, I think you can… and yes Mr Hayle, we’ll be back, I’m not about to let him go home alone.”

He looked at the already sleeping Hayden and then at Vy, snapping his fingers, a Veild showing up, floating around River before it floats over to the two. 

“Oooooh! Shiny!”

Vy’s eyes widen as the little familiar curls up on him, lying against Hayden as well.

“Well, a Veild, I think he might have found a new friend.”

Hayle chuckles a little at Vy’s reaction, taking the plates leaving one next to Vy with a large piece of cake on it, in case he wanted some more while Hayden was sleeping, Rylan watching the two as the familiar makes a very cute “cooo” sound as it curls up against them both properly. 

“You call me if I am needed home Vy?” “Yep!” “And okay then, let’s go, and I promise to try and not hit your master.”

He had to admit, that was what he actually wanted to do. He would still like to both hit him and then burn him to a crisp. River chuckling a little at his comment about wanting to punch his master. 

“Let’s go then, princess.” 

He takes Rylan’s hand and the two walk outside, heading towards the portal for the first time in three years. 

“You know, I think you just got your first familiar adopted.”

He looks up at River as they walk, a little unsure of what to talk about, but lands on what he noticed when they were eating cake. 

“So the cake is too sweet? I mean, there goes my brilliant plan to spoil you with my new baking skills down the drain!” “No! Not at all... I'm just not used to it. Spoiling might help me get reused to the taste. I haven't had anything sweet for a long time... “ “Well I can make less sweet things to start with”

He looks at River again, before looking ahead suddenly not sure what to say. What had once been so natural was suddenly difficult. River stops by the portal and looks at Rylan. 

“I can control my powers. I still mute cast but now only when consciously want to. I did what I needed to do to be able to be with you.”

He reaches for his cheek and gently brushes it.

“I'm sorry for all the suffering I caused you but it feels so strange now. Before it was so natural”

Rylan sighs and carefully puts his arms around River's neck, standing close like he had once used to do so many times during a day, pushing away the worry and the feeling that this was just one very weird daydream.

“A lot has changed since then, but I want.. no I need you to know that one thing hasn't changed.”

His golden green eyes lock with Rivers.

“I love you, I would have waited for twenty years if that is what it took, and it is not your fault, none of this is. You just wanted to fix your magic, so we could be together, and that's what you did.”

He realizes River is indeed a little bit taller as he has to get on his toes to do what he has been wanting to do since he laid eyes on him earlier that day and he pulls him into a kiss. River kisses Rylan back, at first rather awkwardly, but then that longing familiarity to it hits him, and he wraps his arms around Rylan, pulling him so much closer, taking in that taste of his lips that he missed so much. He breaks the kiss pressing his forehead against Rylan, his blueish eyes on Rylan's and he gives him a gentle smile, brushing his cheek gently. 

“Hey, my love... I missed you so much Rylan, I love you so much. It'll take time but I know we can make it.” “Yeah, we will”

He smiles back at River. 

“One more question.. can I hit him.. like once, just because I want too?”

i can fucking see

I've started to feel a little bit worried... In the last couple of weeks or so, a lot of people had started to follow me and a good chunk of them seem like really shady accounts xD

I dunno if I'm gonna get vanished to the realm of darkness, Thanos style... So, if my account dies you all know the reason 💕💕💕

I want to feel offended but you just called him Emily and I’m oddly ok with it.
