Are you looking to be somebody's It's Complicated? With this fiery hearthrob, everything's complicated! But it's worth it: underneath that gruff exterior and painful awkwardness, he's a sweet guy with some killer thighs. Give him a chance to sweep you off your feet. Every other person in his friend group has! Third time's the charm, right?
he has to go show this to Korra to ask if he's being messed with.
Except not, because she'll make fun of him forever, and David did say he'd stop except Mako isn't uncomfortable, exactly, he just has no idea what to say. That's the kind of thing he used to say to Asami to make her laugh, and the words always felt unnatural on his lips. Mako's not really a romantic person. ]
[ Not David too. Mako got enough of this teasing from Wu, back home, all "my big tough guy" and "my strong Mako" and all that. He has no idea what David wants from him, why he keeps saying things like this. The cynical part of him makes a suggestion: David wants something. Why else would he be saying things like that? ]
[ He's... flirting. With Mako. Purposefully. Maybe he's just a flirty person, like Wu? Or maybe this is an Asami situation where Mako is being flirted with by someone very interesting and pretty cool and has no idea how to respond to it. He'd laid it on thick, back then, tried everything he could to make things work with a person who could've been a ticket out.
Even if that was a callous way to look at it. Mako's better, now.
He doesn't know, is the problem. He doesn't know why David is doing this, or what he wants, or what he expects out of Mako. It has to be something. If there is one thing Mako has learned in all his years, it's that there's always an angle. Sometimes you just have to work a little harder to see it. ]
Only if you want to call it that. I mean, I wouldn’t say no if it was called that. And I wouldn’t be upset if it was just a thing friends were doing to talk.

Not picky at all. I like spicy stuff.
[ Hard to be picky when you spent several years of your life having to hustle to get any kind of food! Mako will eat literally anything. ]

But why are you flirting.

Because you’re intelligent, attractive, and fun to talk to? And because I was hoping to get a positive reaction to it?
