( it's in dick's nature to not know his limits. as far as he's concerned, they don't exist - the second he starts doubting his capabilities is the second he stops improving, stops becoming better than what society would dictate him as. although, society thinks he's a nonbender, so. there's a little give and take there. the point is that all his muscles ache and hiss and burn, even after the avatar's healing, and with their mouths parted and kisses no longer serving as a distraction, he groans in pain, resting his forehead down on mako's shoulder. )
Damnit.
( he'd be better at this is he were healthy, or in a better space of mind. he's kissed girls before - barbie and kori, girls he loved and he lost individually - and there was that one time he experimented with wally, because boys will be boys will be boys. but. obviously, things are different, with mako. he's pretty sure he'll be embarrassed by this abysmal display later, but for now he just wraps his arms around mako, making himself a little small but just as strong, hugging him fiercely. )
