Huh? Oh-- You've reached Bolin!
Yeah, I'm a pretty busy guy but leave me a message and I'll beep you back

We can start now.

[ Mako offers: an olivenut branch, or something like it. He offers, at the same time, a bowl full of congee topped with some chili oil and some pickles he made back in the fall. The plate of pancakes goes into the center of the bar, followed by a plate and chopsticks for both of them. To top it all off, Mako piles a few leftover mochi into a bowl and then, finally, rounds the island to sit by Bolin.

Zuko is already sliding down off Bolin's shoulders to try and steal a mochi.
]

Right now. I didn't actually invite you over to make you tell me about, you know. Kissing people.

[ Zuko, entirely put-out by Bolin's successful dragon-shooing, tries to slink around the palm of his hand while he's distracted and while Mako is distracting himself piling things onto his own bowl of congee. He already has plenty of toppings but obviously it also needs sesame seeds and no that is not just because he's suddenly extremely and obviously nervous. ]

It's... actually about Wu. And... me.

arclightning: (awkward | confused | uh oh)
From: [personal profile] arclightning
[ Here we go. Mako doesn't even register Zuko absolutely decimating a mochi. He's just stirring his congee, watching red oil mix with the rice, with his heart in his throat. ]

You, uh. Heard anything about the weird rituals around bonding in this city?

arclightning: (talking | it can't be that bad)
From: [personal profile] arclightning
...myself.

[ Super smooth, Mako. He picks up a spoonful of steaming congee and does absolutely nothing with it. Even Zuko stops munching her mochi to look between the two of them, her ears up and alert. ]

Uh. To Wu.

[ Mako doesn't wince exaclty, but he pulls back a little, laughing self-consciously as realization slams into his brother. Zuko, on the other hand, lets out a startled trill, scoots backwards, and falls entirely off the counter, making Mako lunge to catch her. She squeaks in something like protest, digging claws into his arm for balance, and Mako is laughing for some reason, grinning stupidly at them both. ]

Uh-yeah. We are.

Woah, woah—

[ Like Mako is anything less than thrilled, like he's not laughing openly with all his body at that explosion of excitement. It would be embarrassing except it's just him and Bolin and Pabu and Zuko and they're in his own house and honestly it is exciting because he never once thought they would get this far. He never thought planning a wedding was anywhere in his future and now Bolin's wrapped around him, squashing Mako against his side with the force of his excitement, because it's happening. ]

Bolin, calm—

[ He slings an arm around Bolin's back anyway, grins stupidly into the side of his head. ]

Cool it with the questions, we're not at a sleepover. Wu... kind of made a joke about it, and I told him we should look into it, and now it's happening.

Bolin, [ Mako says again, a little more wheezily you are kind of crushing the life out of him here, bro. ] hard to marry my boyfriend if I can't breathe.

arclightning: (smiling | with my friends)
From: [personal profile] arclightning
[ Because Mako is Mako, he doesn't hesitate in accepting the bowl, pulls it close to himself and pushes heat into it like it's second nature. It... kind of is. ]

Well, get used to... fiancé, I guess. Or... husband. Wow.

Date: 2022-02-10 01:35 am (UTC)
arclightning: (soft | smiling | pink)
From: [personal profile] arclightning
[ Except it kind of is because of that. Because of him and Manabu and a little bit because things are finally settled. Mako ducks his head, his heart in his throat, smiling down at his bowl. ]

You, uh.

[ Spirits his voice is tight and rough. Mako clears his throat and it does nothing at all. He's so glad for the fact of Bolin, that his brother is here with him to witness this, that it isn't just him and Wu against the world. What would he do without Bolin there to make sure he remembers to enjoy his life, to drag him into the sun?

He doesn't know.
]

You think?

arclightning: (soft smile | quiet | affection)
From: [personal profile] arclightning
[ Bolin stop you are going to make him choke up and he!! can't!

Mako has to eat a bite of congee just to keep himself from making some embarrassing noise, but he's smiling and he can't make himself stop.
]

I don't know, we were doing pretty well for ourselves. But, no. I— this is, uh. I didn't think it'd happen. It wasn't... what I expected.
