A little tilt of the head followed by an adjustment of the arm had Korra sitting in an upside down position on the couch as Asami fussed about the house. Why was she so adamant about everything being perfect? It was just Korra's parents. No one special. However, Asami wouldn't just sit down and breathe. She was constantly checking the clock, peeking out the window, making sure that her hair and make up was perfect. If she passed by the coffee table that quickly once more, Korra was almost scared that she'd end up tripping and falling.
"Asami, why don't you just take a little load off?"
Everything stopped in that one instance and Korra regretted her words. Her beautiful girlfriend began to tremble and she slowly turned to face her. The look that she was giving was one that could kill and Korra shrank back a bit with her hands up.
"Take a load off?! You want me to take a load off when your parents could come through that door any second now?!"
Sitting up, Korra hopped off the couch. Asami was literally breathing fire at the moment and she was on the verge of tears. Even she could tell that the anxiety of having Korra's parents over was getting to her. If she didn't calm down, she'd end up hurting herself or worse regretting this whole thing and making a fool of herself. But in Korra's opinion, Asami could never make a fool out of herself. Asami was beautiful and she was graceful in every way even when she was close to biting her head off.
"I mean, honestly Korra! Not everyone can have your attitude! Not everyone can toss caution to the wind! I'm the leader of a company, and I'm a corporate mogel but when it comes to this I can't even keep my cool! How do you possibly know how I feel? The anxiety and the worry that they may not like me and then what happens then?! In the future, they'll have to be at our wedding or if we have children and then I end up messing this up and.. and.."
Asami's chest heaved and tears began to form in her eyes as her lip trembled. Korra wrapped her arms around her and the former broke down and cried in her girlfriend's shoulder. All she wanted was to be good enough so that Korra's parents would like her. She wanted to be good enough for Korra. Nothing else mattered as long as she had that.
"Asami, do you want to know what I think?"
The little nod caused a smile to form on Korra's lips.
"I think you're overreacting. I think that it doesn't matter what my parents think of you or us or anything. The only two people who have to put something into this relationship is you and me. The only people who have to bust their asses and make sure that everything is alright or that one another is happy is you and me. So who cares what they think? As long as I got you and you got me, we're fine."
Asami leaned back to look at her, shimmering tears in jade green eyes. Korra kissed them away before rubbing their noses together. Asami smiled and wrapped her arms around her squeezing a bit.
"Okay, okay I understand.."
Korra kissed her lightly. Asami's eyes began to narrow and she returned the kiss once and then twice.
"I..I understand," she spoke between kisses that soon deepened.
When Korra's parents knocked on the door then peeked through the window, a familiar pelt was laying on the ground along with an expensive pair of underwear. Needless to say, they decided to come back later.
