•*•*•*•REUPLOADED*•*•*• Original Upload Date: January 19, 2015
Quick Author Note: Yes this story was previously on this other account I had made because during the time I was ashamed of publishing this story on my main account "Maymist" because I feared the girl I loved would force me to remove this story if she read it on my main account, since this story was originally inspired by some of my romantic memories of her & I (yes, we are both girls), and she believes it's sinful for two girls to like each other even despite her having feelings for me during that time. However, it's been years now and she's not in my life anymore, so I want to take credit for this story I have written instead of keeping this story a secret on another account. And this story is going to focus on Korra and Asami and their characters individually & their romance, and I'm not going to make it about my ex so much anymore. 6 chapters are going to be reuploaded and then chapter 7 will come out whenever I get a chance to write it. Thanks for reading!
Ps, the title of this story is based on the song "Wings" by Birdy. :) That song always reminds me of this story, lol. Now onwards with the story!~
•*•*•Wings•*•*•
I've been going out with Mako for about a few months now.
When we met for the first time, I wanted to punch him in the face.
Yeah - he was that much of a jerk.
Even despite his sourpuss attitude though, we ever so surprisingly became friends and I started to have feelings for him throughout my first year of high school.
Whenever it was time to eat lunch at school, I would sit with Mako and his brother Bolin, and we always had a good time.
How did I start sitting with them?
On my first day of high school, I was sitting alone at lunch, but that all changed when Bolin asked me if I wanted to sit with him at his table, and that's how I met Mako.
It was kind of annoying how Bolin had a thing for me though when the whole time I was trying to win his brother's affection.
Speaking of that...
I wasn't so talented in the romance department - I sucked majorly when trying to get Mako to like me.
Maybe the burping contests that I occasionally had with Bolin at the lunch table wasn't helping much either...
I just didn't know how to make the 'Mr. Hot-But-Grumpy-Dude' like me!
Well, until I met... her.
It was just another normal day at school when my stomach started to randomly growl like a lion in the middle of the hallway during passing period and thus I went over to the vending machine to grab some grub.
I put my money in, pressed a button, and waited for the machine to do it's thing.
Nothing happened.
I growled and started to angrily kick the machine while inwardly cursing at it too.
Out of nowhere, I heard someone softly chuckle and then a feminine voice.
"You know, if you hurt your leg, I'll probably have to carry you to the nurses's office, and I'm not sure if you would like that so much."
I turned around to see some girl who looked about my age who was standing with her arms crossed and was playfully smiling at me.
I immediately assumed that she was one of those stupid preppy girls since she was so ridiculously pretty and wearing so much makeup.
She wore ruby red lipstick, lavender eye shadow along with mascara, and that's about it for makeup.
This girl had flowing long black wavy hair and her eyes were the most gorgeous shade of green that I have ever seen; they were like emeralds. She had a slim figure and her skin was so flawlessly porcelain, it being white like pure snow. Black was the color of this fancy long-sleeved blouse that she was wearing, it having a red upwards collar as well. She was also wearing a red skirt with black pants under it and leather black high boots.
Geez, she looks like a total beauty queen, the total opposite of me.
I guess more people consider me a tomboy since I dress kind of guy-ish and am pretty muscular since I've been taking self-defense classes all my life, so I know how to kick some major real butt.
Unlike this chick, I have darker skin, blue eyes, long brown hair that's tied up into a ponytail, and I don't wear makeup.
I'm also wearing a long sleeved sky blue sweater, baggy black pants, and white sneakers.
What bugged me the most was that this prissy girl was slightly taller than me.
I glared at her and put my hands in the holes of my sweater, somewhat mortified.
"Are you making fun of me?" I asked, annoyance clearly heard in my voice.
A soft laugh escaped her lips and she started to calmly advance toward me.
"Not at all."
Suddenly, she went in front of the vending machine and I have no idea how, but somehow she made my dollar magically come out of the slot.
My jaw dropped. "What? How did you-"
"I guess my engineering skills did come in handy after all," she stated while warmly smiling, interrupting me.
I let out a sigh of relief as she handed me back my dollar and I smiled back at her. "Well, thanks... I'm Korra."
A fond grin graced her lips and we shook hands as I gazed up into her eyes.
"Asami. Asami Sato."
My sapphire eyes grew wide. "Wait... Sato?! I think I've heard of you before! Doesn't your Father own Future Industries?"
"Yeah, he does. He-"
Before Asami could even reply, my stomach growled furiously, demanding food.
I laughed nervously. "Errr... Sorry about that. I didn't really eat much today."
"Well, if that's the case, then why don't I take you out to lunch right now?" she kindly offered and then jokingly added, "You know, since that vending machine is pretty unreliable and all..."
I quietly let out a chuckle and smirked. "And miss my history class? You bet! Thanks a bunch."
Asami frowned. "Well... I don't want you ditching class and getting in trouble."
"Nah. It's okay. It will only be one time," I aloofly assured while smiling and then said, "It will be worth it."
Her lips slowly curved upwards, but she still looked concerned. "If you say so..."
"Asami?"
Asami then turns around and I look ahead to see Mako now approaching us.
My heart started racing when I saw him. Ugh.
He wore this confused expression. "You two know each other?"
I felt my heart sinking. Oh no, don't tell me that Mako is dating her...
"We just met," Asami clarified.
"...And how do you two know each other?" I then questioned in a mutter, slight jealously detected in my voice as I crossed my arms.
Mako and Asami exchanged glances, and then smiled.
"He's my brother, Korra."
My eyes almost launched out of my head after hearing Asami's words.
"WHAT?!"
"Well, we're not related by blood or anything. When Bolin and I were kids, we were orphans for awhile living on the streets, but then Mr. Sato took us in and adopted us..." Mako sternly explained.
"Wow, I had no idea..." I said utterly breathless and flabbergasted.
Asami held back a giggle and flashed me a wink.
"Well, now you know."
•*•*• •*•*• •*•*•
Ever since that day, Asami and I quickly became best friends.
We exchanged numbers and would text endlessly, some days we would stay up until three in the morning just talking.
The two of us had so much in common even though we were both opposites. Asami knows how to fight like I do, we both like playing the same sports, both like to workout, we have the same thoughts towards a lot of things and have been through similar experiences, and the list never ends. She even took me go-karting once!
I gotta admit, I totally had her pegged wrong. At first I thought she was kind of prissy, but it was dumb of me to think that. Asami is nothing like that.
She's kind, selfless, considerate, witty, incredibly smart, brave, strong, independent, beautiful inside and out, and she's just one true amazing friend.
As our friendship continued to blossom, she gave me advice about my feelings for Mako and she was always there for me. She even tried to convinced Mako to go out with me, but at first he wasn't really sure of his feelings, but thanks to Asami, Mako did eventually ask me out, and we fell in love.
•*•*• •*•*• •*•*•
Mako and I have been dating for a few months now, and tonight would be the first night that I would ever be sleeping over at his house; however, I was sleeping in Asami's room of course.
Here's what happened.
Just when Asami and I were about to go to sleep, Mako invited me into his room to watch a movie for about one hour and I said okay.
For some reason though, Asami seemed kind of disappointed and didn't say much.
I felt kind of guilty for leaving her, but she kept insisting that it was okay, so I went with Mako into his room.
We watched a movie on his tv for about one hour while eating chocolates and his arm was around me. It was pretty awesome.
When the movie had finished, we started talking for who knows how long and eventually Mako had fallen asleep while I hugged him from behind.
I then realized that it was four o'clock in the morning and fear struck my heart like a bullet, I didn't want anyone to think that I was sleeping with him in his room.
Being as careful as possible, I left his room and went into Asami's room to see that she was sitting on her bed still awake.
I flinched and couldn't believe that she was still up.
"There you are, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
"Y-Yeah... I'm fine. Why do you ask? Wait, why are you still up?" I inquired somewhat uneasily.
"Didn't you get any of my texts? I've been texting you all night because I was worried that my stupid brother might have done something to you..." she bitterly revealed and then added, "So, I stayed up this whole time waiting for you..."
I gasped and guilt invaded me faster than any plague. "Asami, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you wait. Mako and I were just talking for so long, and I had no idea what time it was until now. Also, don't worry... I don't plan to go too far with anyone unless I'm married to them or whatever."
Asami sighed. "It's okay, it's just... I was really looking forward to having a sleepover with you tonight."
I was taken aback by her words and was speechless for a moment.
She... really was that worried about me?
Suddenly, Asami laughed and tugged on my arm. "Well, there's always next week. Let's get some sleep."
We both got into her tiny bed and pulled the covers over us.
My heart jumped when she abruptly forced my arm to go around her as she then hugged me by wrapping her arm around my waist while I laid on my back and she laid on her left side.
I started blushing. "What... What are you doing?"
Asami smirked and hugged me tighter. "What, you've never cuddled with your friends before?"
"N-no... Never... It's kind of weird..." I sheepishly mumbled and my cheeks started to go on a crazy blushing rampage.
"Well, I cuddle with my friends all of the time."
"O-oh..."
Little did I know that Asami was lying.
I'm the only one that she has ever held like this.
Author Note: Hi guys! Thank you for reading, the next chapter will be up soon. There will be many realistic situations that will occur in this story, especially since this is an alternate universe, but I did try to make things work and make it similar to the show. I always thought Mako and Asami looked like siblings, but I thought it was more realistic to not have them related and blah blah. Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you guys would review and tell me your thoughts. Thank you so much (:
