( dick knocks the breath from his lungs but he doesn't mind the burn, he just. takes it. one hand knotted up in dick's hair, the other (his left) at his hip. the kiss is. well, it's unusual. he's never kissed anyone close to being as tall as him, and they're both rough and unshaven, and while other people taking the lead on him is pretty much his normal, it's different somehow when a man does it. he feels like he should, like he needs to kick back more.
but dick is still fragile, still healing, and even though mako wants to shove him, push him back to the bed, make him rest he just doesn't have it in him. his grip stays loose and easy and gentle, and he doesn't do much more than make a mild noise of protest when dick bites him. )
( 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. )
( he has no idea what brought that about, but mako makes space for the hug, arms lifted sort of awkwardly out of the way. he drops one hand down against dick's hair and lets the other cradle his shoulders. )
Come on, let's get you back to bed.
( dick isn't meant or made to be still. energy is explosive in him, an agitation in the air. but he nearly died, and that's as sure a sign as any to take things slow and careful and easy. mako sort of... ushers him towards it. )
