Out of order drabbles ftw, haha. I did the same to 'The Comedian', another Korrlok story.

Assignment

"This can't go on…" Korra shook her head.

Tarrlok turned to look at the Jedi. "What?"

"Us. You and me. You know what would happen to me if they found out about us, I'd be expelled from the Order."

"If I can recall, it was you who kissed me first."

Korra froze. She was backed into a corner on that one. And they went far beyond that first kiss. What in the blazes made her go after the Senator in the first place?

"I was only assigned to be your protection, Senator Tarrlok. What's between us is strictly professional. This was all an assignment, you are just my assignment."

It took everything to keep herself from crying.

She turned to the door. "And once this assignment is over, your need for me is done."

"I am made of you…!" Once those words left him, she stopped in her tracks.

He was in front of her. "You can't fix the fact that I love you, that I love you more than I love being Senator."

"I have told you that I'd give it all up for you again and again, and you know what I think? I think you don't believe me. I think you believe that I will never choose you, but it was and will always be you."

She could feel tears running down her face.

"We're gonna run it out together. If you go down, I go down, too."

She could feel herself collapsing, only to land in his arms.

"So, you're gonna sit here with me… and watch me choose you."

All this time, she thought he was only using her… he actually genuinely cared about her.
