"Oh, come on Korra, come to the party with us!" Opal begged. She had gotten word of a frat party happening that night and was itching to go but was set on convincing Korra to attend with her. "You never come out with me. I miss my best friend and who knows, maybe you'll meet a cute girl while we're there!" Korra was sitting quietly trying to formulate a decent excuse to not go but she knew Opal would pick up on her lie.
"If I agree and come with you can I leave early when I inevitably get bored?" Korra asked, praying Opal would agree.
"Fine, but you have to promise to at least try to have fun, yeah?"
"Okay, okay I'll try." Korra agreed and Opal squealed with excitement. Korra rolled her eyes at her friend's enthusiasm.
"Fucking nerd"
"You love me" Opal said as she kissed her friend on the cheek and skipped out of the room.
"Still can't figure out why that is though!" Korra called after her.
"Asami, I know you're still bummed about breaking up with my brother but you gotta get back out there. You don't see Mako sitting around pouting, do you?" Bolin asked gently. "It's been like two months, you need to let loose and have some fun, being cooped up in here working on your designs and tinkering isn't doing you any good. Why don't you come to this party with me? Opal invited me and she said she's bringing her best friend with her. Korra is really nice, she might help you meet a nice guy." Asami thought about it and figured it couldn't hurt, she had been sulking but not for the reason Bolin thinks. She wasn't upset about her breakup with Mako. Well she was upset but not sad, Mako was still her friend no matter what and they'd move past this. She was upset because she'd realized something about herself and while she was okay with it she wasn't sure how her friends would react. She looked up at Bolin how was silently begging her to come to this party and was surprised to find that she kind of wanted to go. She was tired of sitting alone her garage fooling with her engineering projects. So she agreed to go out with Bolin, "Ok, I'll go with you but I wanna tell you something first." Asami said gathering her courage.
"What is it?" Bolin asked, looking concerned.
"I'm not only gonna be looking for a guy to hook up with tonight… I maybe sorta kinda like girls a little too? Ok more than a little, a lot really." She said and immediately cringed at her lack of eloquence.
"Dude why didn't you tell me?! Did you think I would freak out? I mean I am freaking out but like, in a good, supportive way, you feel? So like you're bi?" Bolin, always accepting. Asami mentally berated herself for ever doubting him.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that, I mean I still like guys too. So yeah, I'm bi." Asami stated, trying to get used to how the word felt in her mouth.
"Nice! Now you have twice the amount of possible hook-ups tonight!" Asami laughed lightly and relaxed after realizing how tense she'd been moments ago. She leaned back into her chair and relished in the feeling of being out to one of her best friends, now she just needed to tell Opal and Mako. Just then Bolin's phone rang and he answered yelling "Opal, my main girl! What's the haps?" Asami couldn't hear Opal's side of the conversation so she had to figure it out using only Bolin's responses.
"Oh yeah! I got Asami to come too! Her and Korra should get along great." He waited while Opal spoke.
"Ok babe, see you tonight. Love you too" Bolin put his phone away and turned back to Asami.
"Go get changed into something a little less comfortable and more suited for a frat party and meet me at my place in like, 45 minutes." He said with a mischievous gleam in his eyes "and DON'T be late, got it?" he said sternly.
"Yes, I've got it, Bolin, I'll be there."
"Good, see you then." He said as had headed out the door and over his shoulder he shouted "By the way, I just got inside info telling me that Korra is into girls too, just thought it might be pertinent information." Asami let out a loud laugh. I just came out to him today and he thinks I'm gonna go home with a girl already, he's a dreamer I'll give him that. She thought as she made her way into the main part of the house and headed to her bedroom to get changed for the party.
Korra made her way down the stairs from her bedroom to leave for the party with Opal. She was standing in the kitchen grabbing a beer when Opal came down from her own room and gasped. Korra looked around mildly confused and asked "What? Is there a spider?! I swear Opal if there's a spider and you're not telling me I'll-"
"No, there's no spider but you can't wear THAT to the party!" Opal exclaimed gesturing to Korra's outfit. She was wearing a loosely fitted T-shirt with the sleeves ripped off and baggy jeans. Korra certainly saw nothing wrong with her clothes so she just gave Opal a confused look hoping she would explain what was wrong with them. And right on queue she did just that "IF YOU WAnT TO GET LAID YOU'VE GOTTA ADVERTISE THE PRODUCT! No girl is gonna want to fuck you if you're wearing that! Go change!" Korra stood there dumbfounded for a moment then followed Opal's order and headed back up to her room still not entirely sure what to wear. Opal called after her "and make sure the parts are tight! You've got a great ass, flaunt it!" at this Korra laughed loudly and yelled back down the stairs "I've got just the thing O!"
Five minutes later Korra came back down the stairs in a slightly tighter tank top with the Pink Floyd logo on it, skin-tight ripped black jeans, and combat boots. Opal looked her over and then nodded enthusiastically to show her that she'd done well. A couple minutes later they were headed out the door on their way to the party.
