For as long as I've known Korra, which by now would be a total of five years, she has always had with quirky way of waking up. I have tried several different methods of waking her up without her flailing around like a fish out of water but none have succeeded. I have even had our children try to wake her up but after she nearly took off poor Yuka's head we decided to drop the whole matter. That is, until now.

Today started off like every other morning, I would wake up and get breakfast started for the twins then I would wait for Korra to wake up on her own. It seems that is the only way for her to wake up without flailing around, but today I was feeling impatient. Normally if I wanted Korra to be awake I would poke her with a broom stick then get out of the way. Even if she can't hit me she can still shoot out some bending. The wall beside our bed has black char stains from when Korra accidentally shot flames out while waking up.

A soft tug pulled on my pants and I looked down into Yuka and Yue's sleepy faces. They take oafter Korra more then me which I am more then happy about. With strong arms I picked up my two children and swung them around. I was hoping their loud giggling would wake Korra up but she didn't budge. Then I got an idea. Gentle I placed the two girls down and hunched down.

"You two want to go visit Aunty Pema today?" Yue and Yuka's face lit up as they nodded vigorously.

"Meelo!" I chuckled and ruffled their hair, I was going to have to have a looong talk with Meelo when they got back, they're only four and they already have a crush on him.

"Go eat up!" The two nodded again and ran to the kitchen to inhale their food. Any day that Korra isn't cooking is a good day indeed. The first time I tried to teach her how to cook he nearly broke the counter. Since then I'd let her chop some vegetables or wash something but not actually cook. Help up Spirits if she does cook.

"Daddy daddy daddy! We're ready! Can we go can we go?!"

"Alright, but try not to drown Ikki again, I know you two are good water benders for your age but you don't need to exploit it." The two girls giggled and nodded before running out the door holding hands. Pema's house wasn't far so Korra and I didn't have too many problems about them running off on their own.

"Now, where was I….? Oh, yes, Korra." Time to put my plan into action.

There is one thing that Korra can't fight against, and that is me. Sure she can try to fight but as strong as she may be, I always win. Of course I usually always cheat but after wards she get's over it.

"Korra, last chance to wake up." She didn't move or make a noise. A smile crept up on my face as I ran to the bed and jumped on. Korra woke up instantly but she couldn't do her usual flail since I was on top of her. Her sleepy eyes glared up into mine as she attempted to break free.

"Hello Avatar." Her struggling stopped immediately and her breathing took up pace.

"The girls…?"

"Fed and at Pema's." Korra nodded slowly and looked into my eyes. Fire smouldered beneath them and it make me shudder from longing. It's been a while since she and I have had sex. With the children around we never have the time anymore. It's clear though that she misses sex just about as much as I do. That's why I had the children leave.

"So are you going to just hover over me all day or are you going to do something?" Heat faired up in my face. After one more glance at her beautiful face I claimed her lips with mine. There was no start and no end, it was an instant deep kiss that both of us craved. My hands almost shook as I caressed her stomach. It had grown soft over the years but I didn't mind, I actually preferred it soft. Korra though didn't want me touching her stomach and instead dragged my hand up to her chest, a satisfied moan escaped her and I squeezed gently.
With her help I managed to get her shirt off, then mine. In no time the two of us were naked and under the covers. Something in me was telling me to go slow, to saver the moment instead of rushing into it but once again Korra had another thing in mind. Once she sensed my hesitation she stopped and looked up at me with polar bear pup eyes.

"What's wrong?" I had to clear my throat a couple times before I could talk. At this point even I didn't know what was wrong. I was clearly aroused and I literally ached to be inside of her.

"There's nothing to fear Noa, the kids aren't here and won't be for a while now so just relax. If you want I can take over." I wasn't afraid, but I did like the idea of her taking over so I nodded. Soon our positions were reversed, with me beneath her. No man, even if he was hesitant, can resist a women when she is on top of him.

"You ready?" I nearly growled my response but before she could go down the door busted open with a loud crash.

"KOOOORRAAAA!" The two of us looked at each other in surprise and slight fright as she quickly rolled off of me. With great practice we found our clothes and the two off us were dressed enough to make it look like we were harmlessly sleeping in. Bolin then walked into the room with Yuka and Yue poised on his shoulders.

"Hey you two, wake up! I have a full day of fun planned out! First we're going to go to the beach then-" With a groan I plopped back onto the bed. So close, we were so close. All wasn't lost though for I may have just found the way to help Korra get over her little waking up quirk. One that both of us will surely enjoy.
