Korra's day had been going so well untill her cousion cornered her at her locker and bombarded her with questions"For the last time Opal, Asami and I aren't dating. We're just the best of friends." But no matter how many times she told her cousion this she didn't seem to belive her.
"Korra please, You and Asami are so a couple. I mean you two are hardely apart and when you're together one of you is always clinging to the other. Speaking which where is she?"
"Her classes got out early today so went to do some work at her father's workshop. And friends hang out with each other all the time."
"Yes friends do, but what you two do goes way beyond friendship. Look I'll prove it to you open you're locker." decideing to humor her she dialed in her combination and swung open her locker.
"Now tell me Korra if you two aren't dating then why do you have so many pictures of you and her in you're locker?" she said pointing to the many pictures lining her locker's walls.
"Because each one is a special moment I've shared with her."
"Korra you have nearly twelve pictures of just her in here. Not to mention you even have some of her clothes in here." she said pointing to Asami's spare Jacket
"So we share our lockers that's not so surprising." her phone started to buzz but Opal grabbed it before she could see who it was.
"What a suprise it's your girlfriend texting you." hearing that it was Asami calling she lunged for the phone but Opal sidestepped her and starting reading it aloud.
"Korra feeling lonely without you. I'll see you later tonight at my house and we'll continue our fun tonight so get your rest while you can because you won't be sleeping again tonight. Love Asami"
"Oh yeah Korra there's no way that could be conisdered anything other then friendly. So you two are already sleeping together?" she said smirking before tossing the phone back to Korra.
"It's not like that, we just had a but to much fun last night and wound up watching movies all night. Well that and I was helping her with her sketches."
"Right Asami want's to be a fashing desginer in the future... wait so you're here model?"
"Yeah she always has me try on different outfits. Sometimes she just sketches me wearing them." as she looked back to Opal she saw her cousion was holding back her laughter.
"So let me get this straight. Asami on a regular basis not only spends time drawing your body and making outfits for you but then has you try them on in front of her so she can see how you look in them."
"Yeah so?" Opal burst into laughter at Korra's denseness. "I swear Korra you two are much more intimate than I thought. Well I got to go but you have fun with your girlfriend tonight."
She ran off down the halls before Korra could correct her. But as she walked home she couldn't get Opals suggestions out of her head. Sure her and Asami did have a stronger bond then most friends but that didn't mean that they were dating.
She had nothing against people who liked the same gender but she wasn't like that.
But the more she thought of dating Asami the more she was intrigued by the idea. She couldn't imagine not having Asami in her life and the two of them had even thought about living together as soon as they graduated.
By the time she made it home she was far to focused and nearly walked into her dad.
"Korra you okay? You're looking pretty distracted."
"Huh oh yeah just thinking about something."
"Anything I can help you with." Korra hesitated for a minute. She could always rely on her father for advice. "Well Opal said some things that really got me thinking."
"Well you know how Opal is but what exatly has you confused?"
"She really seems to think that Asami and I are dating." For the longest time Tonraq stood there not moving trying to think about what to say. Finally his brain setteled on just two words. "You're not?" For he like many others had thought the two girls had been in a relationship for the longest time. Infact he could't imagine his daugher with anyone else.
"Geez dad not you too." she said before rushing to her room. As soon as he heard the door slam shut he saught out his wife who was out in the gardern.
"Senna you won't belive what Korra just said to me"
"Oh and what was that?"
"Apparently she's confused about her relationship with Asami."
"The girls didn't have a fight did they? Korras always so happy around Asami, I hope they didn't break up."
"No apparently she didn't think she was in a romantic relationship with Asami untill Opal said something." Now it was Sennas turn to be confused. For nearly three years she'd been convinced her daughter and Asami were a couple. In fact she'd never seen two people more in love then when she watched the girls together.
"Well Korra can be a bit dense sometimes. But I think we should just give her some space for a while so she can work it out herself. I give it a few days before they actually are dating."
"Yeah you're probably right."
Upstairs in her room Korra kept thinking long and hard about Asami.
"We're just friends. Friends who hang out together, friends who share secrets and dreams, friends who often share a bed... aaaarrhh!" she rolled off her bed in frustration and stared up at the ceiling.
"I'm not into girls. I like guys, espically if their kind and funny and understaning, not to mention sweet." but after saying those things the only person she could think off that fit those descriptions was Asami.
In her agitation she rolled over to her dresser. Upon opening it she found that a good portion of the items in there were Asami's.
"So I have a few of Asami's clothes mixed in with mine that's not weird or anything. It would only be weird if I was wearing her clothes." in a fit of paranoia she rushed into her bathroom and double checked. She found to her horror that instead of having her usual tomboyish boxers on she was wearing a very girly pair of black panties.
"Okay wearing your friends underwear is possibly crossing the line." then she looked around her bathroom and saw more of Asami's items linening the room.
Reaching down she picked up up Asami's pajamas. She knew it was hers because both girls had saved up and bought the other a set of pajamas one winter. Korra had gotten her a watertribe style outfit complete with faux fur blue outfit while Asami had gotten her a red firenation style. Both outfits were very dear to both girls and very rarely did they not wear them.
"We must have been in a hurry this morning if she left this lying here." she made her way back into her room and started to put the oufit in her dresser when she noticed the scent.
It was a destictive scent that she instantly recognized as Asami's perfume.
"Now matter how many times I smell it I just can't get over how good it is." despite how much her mind said not to she brought the outfit up to her nose and inhaled letting the scent fill her. As she pulled away she realized how badely she wanted Asami to be here.
"I just don't feel the same without her here." then her mind snapped to attention and she realized just what she had said and done. Here she was standing in the middle of her room thinking of her best friend while taking in how good her pajamas smell and whishing she was here.
"I guess Opal was right, I do have feelings for Asami." But that left the question did Asami have the same feelings for her? And if she did how was Korra going to tell her. "Well I have a few hours until I se her
