Dance
Korra hummed contently against Asami's neck as they danced. Asami had taken to leading, and Korra contently followed, her thumb tracing circles on Asami's back. The gala, celebrating the reopening of Republic City's main political buildings, was fading to an end, and yet Korra was reluctant to leave the dance floor. And it seemed Asami felt the same.
"I don't think I will ever be "all danced out" again, as long as I'm dancing with you," Asami murmured into Korra's hair, before pressing a kiss against it.
Korra grinned, finding a way to pull her even closer. "Only you would make me find a way to not regret all those hours of ballroom dancing practice I had to go through."
Asami clucked her tongue. "Come now, dance lessons must have also helped with bending."
Korra gave a happy laugh, turning her head to look up at Asami. "No doubt they did, but tell that to my ten-year-old self who really just wanted to get back to her firebending practice."
Asami smiled down at her, and Korra blushed at just how beautiful she was. "Now that I can imagine. I had to be dragged away from my table in my father's workshop for my own lessons." In the current moment, both of them were following the proper steps without much thought, the music slow and quiet. "I don't think my teacher appreciated the oil on my hands and clothes."
Korra brought the hand that was entwined with her own in for closer inspection. Hidden by dark nail polish was the grease and grime left over from Asami's day in the shop, setting up the machines that would help her workers make different machines. Korra kissed each fingertip with a smile. "Do you think our childhood selves would believe we would one day be dancing for fun?"
"Certainly not ballroom style," Asami chuckled, looking adoringly at Korra as she ran her thumb over Korra's top lip. "But everything must change."
A/N: Over a year ago I made a drabble collection for my ATLA otp, good ol' Tokka, titled 'Something More than Friendship'. Now LOK has made my otp for the show canon, so I'm going to do something similar to celebrate! Here is the first of hopefully many little stories about my favorite canon girls.
