Day 7: Movers & Shakers!

Day 6: Dancers!

weilin week keeps going and i keep drawing! :D what else is new, heh.

“Who’s got who, now?”

Day 5: Trial by Fire!

Day 3: Wingman!

Day 2: Twin Trouble!

wei and wing are obviously too rowdy to stay for more than two weeks tops, but during their time there, bolin visits often and ends up ogling them a lot… since he fond out theyre both gay and all.

bolin ended up bringing them along to the shooting of varrick’s newest mover, so they could help him out with the stunts and all that. upon hearing the news that the twins wouldnt be staying at the air temple anymore, he offered to take them to a probending game, to cheer them up maybe. (they werent actually upset at all though, in fact they were going to use the rest of their allowance to spend another week or so at the Four Elements hotel before going back home to zaofu.)

they headed out to the probending arena and wooowww, wing and wei loved it! senseless violence in good fun? SPORTS??? sounds like heaven, right?!

the twins asked bolin, how could we possibly get in on this!?

bolin figured, huh, guess i could introduce them to toza.

the only problem would end up being that wing and wei cant play on the same team, but thats alright. they can still live together and stuff. so toza sets them up to live above the gym, just like he did for mako and bolin. toza warned them, though, theyre old enough to go out and get real jobs, and they should consider doing so.

until then, though, bolin helped out with a little probending training, in the gym and the locker room. he ended up getting his butt smacked with a towel every time he was in that locker room with the twins.

at the twins’ first match against each other, bolin made sure to get mako and opal and chief beifong to come watch. mako brought wu with him, and opal brought a couple of her lady airbender friends.

aunt lin was genuinely impressed with how the twins took so well to the probending style of earthbending. but, hey, her nephews had talent. and grit. plenty of grit! she even went so far as to tell them that, despite the fact they probably hear it constantly from their mother. but their reaction was a little surprising: they were absolutely ecstatic to hear it from their aunt lin! they were apparently worried their aunt didnt like them, or think much of them.

when the twins saw bolin again in the locker room, they squeezed him into a big ole platypus bear hug!!! they let him know how thankful they were that he got aunt lin to show up to the match. bolin admitted he got mako to invite her. the twins didnt even care how he did it, theyre just so glad he did. so, ending on a good note, bolin offered to take the twins out to dinner sometime–maybe even out to Kwong’s?

the twins accept the offer, with wing punching bolin’s arm in affection, and wei holding onto bolin’s other arm, and giving him a smooch on the cheek. bolin showed off his signature goofy grin, and wing and wei started to leave. before they walked out, bolin asked them “wait! i know i’m stupid and this is stupid, and i should really be able to tell you apart by now, but which twin punched me and which… kissed me?”

wing and wei answered honestly, wing confessing he punched, and wei confessing he kissed.

bolin took a good long look at the both of them while they talked–their hair, their expressions, and… he noticed the difference in the two’s voices. one was softer lately. bolin asked wei to say something else. all wei could do was smile and say, “for what, big boy?”

bo nodded his head, putting on his thinking face. he said, “mhmm… wei, keep calling me that, and i’ll be able to tell you two apart with no problem!” the twins laughed, and he noticed again that wei’s voice had the softer ring to it. that makes sense–his lips were soft, too. he watched the twins leave, taking turns punching each other, and whispering something, looking back at him. he had no idea what they were saying, but he didnt really care.

HAPPY WEILIN WEEK Y’ALL

Day 1: Probending!

there’s a story behind this. here’s the long version, and here’s the summary:

Lin found Mako alone for the first time since they left the South Pole.  For the first day it had been cute the way he and Korra became attached at the hip but then it became, well, slightly annoying when she wants to talk to him.

Lin clears her throat and Mako immediately stands up straighter.  “Chief,” he said slightly nervous.

“Calm down, I promise this isn’t bad,” Lin says holding up a hand.  “In about three weeks the new cadets for the police academy will start their training.  It’s two months long.  You have a spot if you want it, all you have to do is fill out an application.”

“Uh.”

“You have to work on keeping a cool head but you were resourceful when we were searching for my team and Korra told me about when you two tracked down your brother.  You have potential.”

“I’m not an earthbender,” he replies.

“The earthbenders have an extra month after they pass the first two to see if they’ll make the mentalbender squad.  And don’t flatter yourself into thinking you’d be the first firebender.  There are five others entering the academy with you.”  She waits for him to say something.

“I’ll think about it.” He finally says.  “It means I’ll have to talk to Bolin and Korra about quitting the Fire Ferrets.”

“I’ll give you the application when we get back to Republic City.”

A week before the academy is due to start Mako walks into the police station to hand in his application.  Lin tells him to wait while she looks it over.  “Your characters are sloppy,” she says.

He raises his chin.  “I’ll work on them.”

(it took five days till I Makorra’d)

As part of his monthly budget Mako adds long distance phone calls.  

He calls Bolin once a week, checking to see his brother isn’t, once again, part of a budding dictatorship.  He calls Wu because the former prince insisted but those are once a month and lasts until Mako is fed up.

His longest calls, however, are to Korra.  He’d forgotten how good it felt to talk to her, how easily it was to tell her about his day.  He missed this, though it had taken him months to admit it to himself after their breakup.

He makes a pot of tea and sits by his phone.  It’s her turn to call tonight, she’s traveling the Earth Kingdom assisting with elections.  While he’s waiting he flips through the paper he picked up on the way home.  There’s an article about his recent triad bust that he’s considering cutting out and keeping.

The phone rings and Mako smiles.  “Hello,” he says.

“Hi,” Korra breathes.  “Is there an article yet?”

Mako sent her a few of the previous ones.  In return she sent clippings of her activities and the single one she managed to find that mentioned him.  “Yes, hot off the presses.  How was your day?”

He hears her sigh.  “The governor of this province is trying to-to buy the vote!  He says he will give money to everyone who votes for him!  He can’t even prove it!”

“Can’t you tell people not to take the money?”

Korra laughs.  “Mako would you not take money?”

“Of course!”

“Not everyone is like you.”  Mako rolls his eyes.  “Don’t roll your eyes.”

“I still can’t believe you know when I do that.”

“You do it all the time.  So I told you about my day, what about yours?”

“Paperwork since I finished that bust.  Beifong keeps telling me most of the job is paperwork but-”

“You actually like paperwork.”

“Well, yeah.  Everything is finished and I can put the case to rest.”

“I should go,” Korra says.  “I have to get up early.”

“I understand.  Call you in two days?”

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL

Lin Beifong folded her arms over her chest and surveyed her kingdom. Her detectives, the best of the best, the defenders of Republic City. Raava save us all, she thought.

“Listen up,” she said crisply. “As at least one of you knows, today happens to be my birthday.” No reaction. “The more observant of you might have guessed this based on the giant party hat sitting atop my mother’s statue.” A few snickers. “You might also have noticed the truck going all around the city–the one with the banner displaying my face and wishing me a Happy Birthday.”

Beifong studied the faces in front of her. Lot of grins there save for one. Uh-huh, keep that in mind. “I would also make note of the huge birthday cake that is sitting in the middle of the main atrium. Please note, however, that there are FAR more candles on it than necessary, though I do appreciate the accompanying note that read ‘WARNING DO NOT IGNITE INDOORS’.”

That got a bunch of chuckles, but Stone Face remained utterly impassive. “However,” she continued, “the stuffed badgermole sitting on my desk holding a bottle of Poppy Beifong’s is a bit much. If any of you jokers would like to confess, now’s the time.” As expected, no volunteers. “All right, lilylivers. Go downstairs and have some cake so I don’t have to see it when I leave. Mako, my office.”

Damn but that badgermole was creepy. It just kept staring at her. “You wanted to see me, Chief?” Mako said as he walked in.

Beifong waited. It took a few minutes but he couldn’t keep the straight face. “What gave me away?”

“You didn’t crack a smile the entire time.”

“That’s how I always look.”

Beifong shook her head. “Kid, NOBODY is that innocent.” She sat down in her chair and sighed. “My birth date isn’t widely known. How….?”

“I had Bolin ask your sister.”

“Shit.” Beifong considered opening the bottle of Poppy but decided against it. “Where did you get this thing?” She pointed at the badgermole.

Mako shrugged. “Wu found it in a back room of the palace. He was happy to get rid of it–said it gave him the creeps.”

“No kidding.” She leaned back in her chair and sighed. “So…any more ‘surprises’ I should know about?”

Mako smiled ever so slightly. “Well, at 4:30 you’re going to get a call from Pema about an intruder on the island. That’s so you’ll make it to your birthday party.”

“Lovely.”

“And then there’ll be the fireworks display right after sunset.”

“Varrick, no doubt. Okay.” She stared at him for a long moment. “Why?”

Mako thought about it and shrugged. “It’s your birthday.”

Beifong chuckled and shook her head. “All right, kid. Let’s go downstairs and have some cake, and then you are going to get rid of the badgermole. Damn thing keeps staring at me.”

“Will do, Chief.” She waved him on before rising to her feet and heading to the door. She stopped and stared at the badgermole, which in turn stared right back at her.
