Mako tells you he can’t have anything serious because he’s still reeling from his breakup with Korra. He remembers because it was after the first time you guys slept together.

But now, Mako feels different. He looks at you with sweet eyes, he kisses your body delicately— he’s confused about his own feelings.

“We’re still.. friends with benefits or whatever, right?” He asks, looking at you as his lips press against your shoulder. He can’t really be catching feelings, you’re just friends. That are intimate.
