AN: Just a little drabble (first piece of work for Legend of Korra, so be gentle please) that I wrote in the past 30 minutes or so. I've been on an emotional roller-coaster since the Legend of Korra finale and I wanted to write something for so long but since I couldn't put something together before the end of the year I needed to (I have a things with dates sometimes) post something today, the First of the New Year.
Anyway enjoy! Happy New Year!
Also, I need a better title.
The reaction was instant; one step through the Spirit Portal and Asami came to a complete stop. Her eyes widened in wonder as she took in their new surroundings. "Spirits," she gasped, and there were plenty of them. They were all around, flying, walking, or just drifting about. The grip she had on Korra's hand tightened as she let out a deep breath. "Wow."
A smile tugged at Korra's lips as she watched Asami take it all in. "It's sure something, isn't it?"
"Yeah… it sure is. Just uh… give me a minute, okay?"
"Take as long as you need."
The two of them continued on once Asami had enough time to fully absorb her surroundings. They walked hand-in-hand past wondrous land formations and spirits of all shapes and sizes. They didn't stay in any one place for too long; there was far too much to see. Also though, there was the potential threat of malevolent spirits lurking about. The Sprit World seemed peaceful enough, but Korra knew better.
She wondered if perhaps it was a better idea for them to head back rather than risk Asami's safety. And yet Korra couldn't bring herself to ruin their vacation, at least not so soon. She'd talk to Asami about it later, but until then she'd just have keep an eye out just in case even if Asami didn't really need her protection. But it was Korra's duty, not as the Avatar, but as a friend to ensure that no harm came to Asami.
At some point they reach a peaceful, open field and decided to take a break for a bit. They dropped their bags and Asami retrieved a picnic blanket for them to lie on. There was plenty of room on it but Korra felt like sticking close to Asami. She interlaced their fingers together as she looked up at the sky. The sky had an orange tone to it, as though the sun were setting. It was beautiful, romantic even. Korra felt a sharp tug in her stomach and instinctively looked over at Asami.
As she turned, Korra saw that Asami was looking at her as well. She found herself staring into two deep pools of green. There was another tug at her stomach. Korra was entranced by the woman in front of her; so beautiful, so strong, and so kind. She couldn't take her eyes off of her. She watched her carefully, noticed how she nervously moistened her lips before biting the inside of her cheek. And then those lips moved, "I really care about you," and she looked back up at Asami's eyes. She opened her mouth to say the words back but was quickly cut off. "And I don't mean just as a friend. I don't know when I first realized it but… I love you Korra. And I hope I haven't been reading things wrong cause if I have then-" Korra hushed her with a pair of fingers upon her lips.
"You haven't," she assured, speaking only above a whisper. "I feel the same." Asami shuddered out sigh of relief. Asami reached up to cup her cheek, stroking it softly with her thumb. She rolled them over so that Korra was on her back and Asami was straddling her waist. She leaned in close, their lips just inches apart. Korra could feel the warmth of her breath.
"May I?"
"Just kiss me already."
Korra pulled Asami down and pressed her lips against hers. What she felt as their lips connected was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She whimpered against Asami's mouth and threaded her fingers through her hair. It seemed like forever that they were like that but eventually Asami did pull back. She rolled off Korra and onto her back. She grinned up at the sky for a moment before turning to Korra. "Wow. You really are amazing, you know that?" Korra felt herself blush, something that she didn't do often. She felt like turning away but she didn't. Asami's smile grew a little wider and then she leaned in briefly to Korra on her cheek. Asami then rolled over and Korra caught her in her arms. "Can we just stay here for a little while?"
"Sure."
AN: I'd like to add more later on, but I just wanted to get something posted today.
