Author's Notes: After watching the finale to Korra and that scene at the end where Asami and Korra walk off into the sunset (Spirit World portal (same thing really)) together, I couldn't help but write a sort of continuation of that scene into the actual vacation itself. The story will occasionally switch POV's with certain chapters. This is one of my first times writing fan fiction so all reviews and criticisms are appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.
(Korra's POV)
I sit down on top of a large hill, feeling the grass on my palm as my hands rest against my sides. I look around the area, taking in the magnificent colors that paint the spirit world. The exotic trees that let their leaves dance when the wind blows... The land is bustling with spirits, some fly across the sky, some dive under water, others just walk around, wandering this lovely world... The glowing yellow portal that serves as a reminder or my last great battle, a scar on this world and the mortal world that has left us a new way to enter... All of these wonders right before me, and yet I can only think about one thing...
Her.
The one that tried to be good friends with me despite our past relationship with the same guy.
The one that wanted to go with me to the South Pole when I was leaving to heal, despite having one of if not the most important companies in the world to run.
The one that wrote to me constantly and the only one I wrote back to.
The one that I asked if she wanted to come on this vacation with me, just the two of us, no distractions.
"Hey..." A voice says behind me. I turn my head and see a raven haired beauty walk to me. Her clothes in the usual black leather yet with red accents. Her wavy black hair shorter than how it used to be thanks to her keeping it in a ponytail. My eyes fixated on her red lips, the simple smirk she makes with them.
"Hi, Asami." I say almost in a trance, mesmerized by her beauty. Her lime green eyes lock onto mine. She sits to the right of me, still smirking, looking me up and down as if she were an animal stalking her prey. Her hand lays on top of mine, freezing me in place at the contact. She brings her other hand to my cheek and cups it carefully, her thumb caresses my cheek softly as if I were made of glass and would shatter if touched too hard.
"This place is beautiful... But not as beautiful as you." My face flushes as she says this, my dark skin contrasting to her Ivory. She giggles.
"You're so cute."
She leans in, her eyes closed. Her lips inching closer to mine, my body incapable of movement thanks to her actions. I close my eyes, ready for the contact, but it never appears. I open my eyes and pout, clearly needing more. She is still smiling and leans to my ear and whispers "Wake up."
My eyes open and I see the sky is a beautiful array of purples and dark blues, the wind is light and brings a lovely breeze. I look around camp and eventually capture my sleeping companion, Asami, her breathing slow and steady, clear she is sleeping in her cot next to mine.
A sigh is released from my lips as I realize what happened. The same dream has been plaguing me since I invited Asami to the Spirit World. It's been a about a week... A week of the same dream, that plagues me every night with the thing I want the most... When I know I can't have it. She is just a friend. If I attempted to tell her my attraction to her? She'd probably hate me forever. Feeling disgusted at the idea. No... Better for her to not know. Losing her as a friend... I don't even want to think about it.
I close my eyes again, hoping for anything else to dream about. A sky bison fighting a lemur... That I was fighting something, what it was didn't matter, just that I'm fighting... I'd even take a dream date with Wu of all people!... Actually... No... I still would never want that nightmare...
I promised Asami to take her to one of my friends here in the Spirit World, when she asked who I told her that it was a surprise. I'm sure he'll enjoy the company, I just hope she can stomach a lit of jasmine tea... And if the spirits were cruel, a tsungi horn.
With one final yawn, my consciousness fades, and I drift away to sleep again... Hoping to dream about anything but her.
I fail.
Author's note: I know Brian and Mike have confirmed Asami and Korra became a couple (or at the very least felt romantic feelings for each other) at the final scene of the series when they walk into the Spirit World for their private vacation, but my story alters this slightly. In mine, Korra definitely has romantic feelings for Asami, and she has for a ling time now, but she has been too afraid to reveal them. I hope you enjoyed reading this from the first person perspective, I wanted to emphasize Korra's feelings for Asami but also her insecurities.
While this chapter was indeed short, I plan to make longer chapters in the future, so I hope you enjoy more content.
Thank you for reading my pilot chapter of this project and please, leave reviews, I'd love to hear your opinions.
