"I told you that I would always protect you." Korra whispered as she stroked Asami's long hair from her face.
Asami reasted her head against her beloved's forehead. "Yes you did." She husked out. Her hand rose on Korra's bare arms up to her shoulders. "Thank you." She leaned forward to rest her lips against Korra's in a chaste kiss.
Korra's hand just kept stroaking Asami's face. Her eyes closed as she pressed into the kiss. She couldn't stop touching Asami. Not since she finally found where Asami was taken and held. She never wanted to stop touching Asami.
Asami pulled out of the kiss; but she kept her forehead against the Avatar's. Her eyes slowly opened and met the sad eyes of Korra. "Hey you saved me." She whispered. "I'm okay."
"You were taken because of me." Korra whispered. "This is never ..."
Asami pulled away. "Don't!" She growled. Her right hand rose to point at Korra. "Don't even think of finishing that thought Korra."
"Asami." Korra whimpered. Her head shook.
"No." Asami pounded her free hand against her chest. "I'm not going to allow you to walk away from us." Her hand lowered. She needed to firmly lock eyes with her beloved. "Don't you understand Korra … my life is in danger without even you in it. Hello; I am CEO and owner of Future Industries. I'm also the sole daughter of Hiroshi Sato …. the man whom turned into a compelte monster whom helped funded Amon and the Equalist movement." Raw anger was in Asami's eyes. "How dare you think that you are the all might special Avatar that you think you are the sole reason why I would be a target with anyone whom wants to walk the dark side of life."
Korra bowed her head. Her eyes lifted. "You are right 'Sami." She sighed. "When you were taken to get to me; I got selfish. I wanted to protect you from me." Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Asami folded her arms tightly across her chest. Tears rolled down her own cheeks but she refused to try to calm Korra down. Korra needed to vocally get her fears out in the open.
Korra took a deep calming breath. "I was willing to walk away from you Asami – in hopes that the outside world would see this and leave you alone." Shaking her head. "But I fully know that even if I managed to stay away from you for good … that you would still be a target to get to me. Everyone knows by now how imporant you are too me." She breathed. "I'm truly shocked that you weren't targeted from the very start to get to me …. you had always been that important to me."
"As you are too me." Asami husked out.
"I promise that I won't ever think like this again 'Sami." Korra moved closer to her love. "I can't bare the thought of not having you in my daily life." She reached up to cup Asami's face in the palms of her hands. "I love you Asami Sato."
"I love you to Korra." Asami husked out; her hands rose between Korra's arms; and she cupped the Avatar's face in the palms of her hands.
