Asami sighed as she pulled up into the parking lot of a coffee shop she hadn't realized before. It was fairly large, and bolded blue letters sat on the face of the little building; "Avatar's Spirit". She stared at its dull glow and killed the engine of her black Satomobile, stepping out and tucking some stray black locks from her face behind her ear as a chilly breeze of spring overcame her. She was wearing a snug black button-up with the sleeves pulled to her elbows. She wore a red undershirt that hid her cleavage, and tight black skinny jeans with black boots. Her hair was pulled back into a clumsy bun, and her make-up couldn't hide the outline of blue moons beneath her eyes, though it definitely helped. She walked over to the shop with a folder containing her designs and ideas for Future Industries; she couldn't escape the constant nag of when she would finish them.

Pushing the door open, Asami closed her eyes and relished in the scent of coffee and snacks. She walked over to the counter to see what they had and if it was promising. I'd better get something cold to wake me up, huh? Settling with an iced coffee, Asami finally glanced at the cashier to make her order, though she suddenly couldn't speak as she took in the woman in front of her. She had short brown hair that only fell to just below her ears that revealed her tan neck, and her black and blue uniform's sleeves were pulled up to her mid-biceps, revealing a promise of toned arms; and to add to her already impressive form were dazzling, gorgeous blue eyes like the moon. Asami raised her eyebrows and the girl in front of her did too.

"Have you found what you're looking to order?" she asked. Asami shivered. Even her voice was attractive. Shit.

"Uh-u-I- y-yeah. Um, I'd like an iced coffee, please." The girl gave her a curt nod and Asami handed her the amount of money required.

"Iced coffee, coming right up." She said with a light smile. Asami's heart got caught in her throat and she returned the smile, stepping to the side to wait for her order. She exhaled a shaky breath through her nostrils, and regained her cool. When the girl handed Asami her drink, she grinned again. She walked away from the counter and scanned the shop, noticing that it was fairly busy. She settled on a seat somewhat far away from the counter and far away from people and pulled out her files, her daze dying in an instant. She rubbed her temple in irritation as she stared at her jotted ideas and rough sketches. She went back to calculating her designs and sketching them, and eventually, time passed. The sun fell behind the horizon and the shop quickly cleared. She grunted when she looked up to see the cashier girl in front of her. She tapped the table with her knuckles.

"Hey. Closing time." She murmured. Asami's bright green eyes widened.

"Oh! Shit," she said beneath her breath, getting her files together and organizing her things. "Sorry, I didn't realize what time it was," she laughed, mentally kicking herself. The girl shrugged and walked beside her to the doors.

"Don't worry about it, it happens," she said, her blue eyes locked on Asami. Asami could feel her cheeks begin to heat and she looked away as the woman locked the doors. "So, what were you working on- if you don't mind me asking?" she stammered, visibly flinching when the words first came out of her mouth before she covered herself. Asami laughed and shook her head.

"Yeah, it's fine. Uh, I was just working on some designs. I'm an engineer." She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She had to make it seem casual; she didn't want to blow her cover on who she was.

"Really? What kind of designs?" the woman asked, her eyebrows rising. She had a grin on her face that was clearly impressed. Her hands were tucked into her pockets and she leaned into their conversation.

"Ehh, cars," Asami answered, averting the Southerner's intense gaze. "Satomobile stuff," She nodded, never taking her eyes off of Asami.

"I see. Well, I'd better be heading home. Nice chatting with you," she sent her a friendly wave and stepped into her blue Satomobile, starting the engine and driving off. Asami released a shaky sigh.

Korra drove along the almost empty smooth road. A song played in the background but she tuned it out. Her mind wandered the events of today, and eventually landed on the girl from the shop. She was definitely pretty. She thought, warmth spreading across her cheeks. Very much so. Her speed decreased as she reached her neighborhood, coming to a complete stop as she reached her two-story building she shared with Mako and Bolin. She stepped out of her Satomobile and arched her back into a stretch, throwing her arms up and scrunching her face. She walked into the house and smiled as her large dog, Naga, came to greet her; her white tail wagging furiously and her raspy tongue attacking Korra's face, Korra having to wipe her slime off.

"Hello to you too, girl," she laughed, brushing her hand over the dog's head. She wrapped her arms around her neck and hugged the canine, chuckling as she pulled back with a happy Naga. She walked through the carpeted house to find Mako and Bolin splayed out across their black couch. Their eyes were locked on the screen as they played some shooter game, and Korra raised a brow as Bolin shouted and threw his hands up.

"I give up!" he shouted. "I give up." Mako laughed and paused their game.

"Hey, Korra." He raised his arm to give her a wave and she walked over to them, stripping her jacket off of her shoulders and tossing her shoes aside.

"Sup," she replied, splaying out on the couch and reaching for the bowl of popcorn on the couch, leaning back into the soft material and throwing her arm behind her head and her legs over Bolin's. "How were your days?" she said with a mouthful of popcorn. Mako grinned and leaned back.

"The usual. Lin gave me a shitload of work and then scolded me for some stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary. Bolin over here though claims he has a date or something," Mako scowled and Bolin grinned.

"Yeah! Her name's Ginger," he said, the words dripping with soon. "She's… dazzling." Korra rolled her eyes and shoved him with her foot.

"Well, since you're the only one here with a date, why don't you get us a beer?" she managed with another mouthful. Bolin stood up and laughed.

"You're only jealous, Korra! When was the last time you had a lady?" Korra opened her mouth, only to be cut off by Bolin. "That wasn't just a hook-up." Korra's mouth shut and she shrugged.

"Okay, so what, I haven't seen anyone in awhile, but who cares? I met this lady today back at the shop," Korra leaned her head back as Bolin returned with three cans of the Southern Water Tribe's classic "Polarbear-dog Roar". Korra downed it while Mako took sips. "she's gorgeous. Though, we didn't really talk a lot, we just chatted. I guess that's enough, though," Korra sighed and took another gulp from her can.

"Small talk doesn't count for anything," Mako said with a shrug. Korra shot him a glare.

"And when was the last time you were in a relationship, Mr. Cool Guy?" when Mako stayed silent, Korra leaned back down. "Ts'what I thought," Bolin laughed again and took a sip from his drink. Mako snorted.

"Oh- whatever, Bolin, this 'Ginger' lady is a fucking idiot! As if you're going to end up with her," he shook his head and Korra arched a brow. "you're probably gonna get nothing more than her in your bed for a night or two." He finished his drink and set the can aside.

"At least I'm staying busy," Bolin remarked with a wink. Korra shot back up when she finished her can.

"That's not fair! Just the other night, I-" Bolin started to laugh after he, too, finished his Polarbear-Dog's Roar and set it aside. Korra glared at him.

"Whatever. C'mon, Mako, lets go another round!" Bolin picked up his VarrickStation controller and unpaused their game, Mako rolling his eyes and grabbing his controller. Korra watched as Mako beat Bolin game after game, and began to zone everything out. Several minutes passed and a violent buzz from her phone ripped her back into reality. She sighed and pulled out her blue iSato phone and stared at the message she'd received. It was from Opal. A smile played across her features as she read the message.

O: sup guys.

Before Korra could reply, Jinora replied, and her reply made Korra raise her brows.

J: GUYS! ive got a date! :^)

O: WHAT?! seriously? damn, seems like everyone i know has someone before i do! congrats though C:

K: i feel ya opal. so whos the lucky guy jinora? whats he like?

J: he's super hot oms(oh my spirits). his name is Kai and we met at this diner place, he's a waiter and…w wow

O: hah! jinora's got a bf! C;

Korra simply laughed as her two friends went back and forth. Opal and Jinora had been her friends for years, but Korra hasn't seen Opal much since high school, which was a while ago. She moved back to the Earth Kingdom in Zaofu around senior year, but they always kept in contact. Jinora lived on the other side of the United Republic, so it wasn't easy to see her; but Opal was coming down to Republic City in a week to visit them. It was a day worth waiting for. Korra set down and shoved Bolin with her foot.

"Lets play something else, I hate this game."

"That'll be three yuans." A short man with long hair handed Korra her change and stepped aside. Korra popped her neck and gave the guy she worked with the order and he started working on it. She sighed and leaned over the counter, placing her hand under her chin. Her eyes roamed the shop, trying to find something interesting when the shop's door opened. She sat up to welcome a new customer but her eyes lit up like lights when she spotted her friend, Jinora.

"Jinora! Hey!" Jinora smiled and they shared an awkward hug over the counter. Jinora laughed and pulled back, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Hey, Korra! I see you're busy. Do you have a break soon?" Korra shook her head and shrugged.

"I just got back. I'm not off 'til eleven."

"Damn. Well, that's fine, I'll just hang around then," she lifted up a bag she brought, pulling out a thick book based on Air Nomad culture. Since she was all about that, she even had vivid blue tattoos of an arrow trailing down her arms. She grinned and put the book back. Korra shook her head and chuckled.

"You're such a nerd; you know that?" Jinora shrugged and leaned over the counter.

"So, you got a lady in your life?" she teased, raising a smug eyebrow.

"Whatever, Jinora, you haven't had a man until recently. Recently being like, yesterday." Jinora laughed as the front door made a loud jingle sound that meant a customer was here. "Get out of here, you're gonna hold a line." She leaned back up and sat down to the closest possible seat to the front. Korra rolled her eyes and glanced up at the consumer in front of her. Her words of welcome got caught in her throat as she realized she was staring at the woman from last night, only- her hair was loose, draping over her shoulders and down her back, and it didn't help that she wore a tight white V-neck tee-shirt with no cover that complimented her rather large bust, and a red scarf. She wore tight red pants to go with her scarf, and her red lipstick matched perfectly. Korra simply stared with her mouth open, dumbfounded.

"I'd like an iced coffee, please," she said, raising an eyebrow as if she realized Korra was staring. Korra mentally slapped herself.

"T-that'll be um two yuans!" she managed, her throat tightening. She took a deep breath as the woman handed her the money, her soft pale hand brushing Korra's. Korra steamed even more and dropped the money into the cash register, taking another breath. "S-so... I, um, haven't really seen you around here before yesterday," she cleared her throat, attempting to snap herself out of it. The woman shrugged.

"I never realized this place before. It seemed intriguing, so I decided to check it out. It was a good choice." She gave Korra a sweet smile that she returned.

"Well, we are a popular shop," Korra said with a shrug, handing the woman her drink. Project "Subtle Flirt Attempt" go! Korra thought, putting on a confident expression. "…and honestly, I'm just as happy as you are that you stopped by," she said with a raise of her brow, placing a hand on her hip. The woman raised her chin ever so slightly.

"Maybe it's not the shop that I find so interesting about this place," Korra's heart practically stopped beating in her chest and she suddenly became aware of Jinora's eyes on her.

"Well, if that's the case, maybe you should come more often," was all Korra could manage, her brain being completely dead at this point. The woman took a sip of her drink, leaving a faint red outline on her blue straw.

"Yeah, maybe I should do just that." She played with a bit of her hair and tucked it behind her ear, "So, do you have any plans this weekend?" Is she about to ask me out on a date? Oh—fuck, I'm seeing Opal this weekend. Dammit. Her shoulders faltered a bit, and her smile died.

"Unfortunately, I do…" Fuck. "but I'm completely available after next week. The woman shrugged and sent her a smile.

"That's alright. You'll still be here." Korra's dead smile was immediately revived, and she returned her smile with a toothy grin.

"That I will." The woman's pale cheeks reddened at Korra's gesture and she cleared her throat, regaining her cool.

"See you around then." She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked to a table. Jinora leaned back in her chair and smirked at Korra.

"And who was that miss 'I don't have a lady in my life'?" Korra's face flushed with red and she glared at Jinora.

"Hush! I don't." Jinora laughed and shrugged.

"Hey, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine; even if yours is wrong." Korra groaned and Jinora continued to laugh. "I'm telling Opal this." Korra groaned even louder.

After about three hours of sitting behind the cashier, Korra found herself to be disappointed as the woman from a while ago hurriedly left the shop. Her shoulders dropped slightly as she watched her take off in her black Satomobile. Sighing, she shifted in her spot, placing her hand beneath her chin again.

"Hey, guys; we're home!" Korra shouted, throwing her shoes and jacket off. Jinora more neatly removes her unnecessary clothing, trailing behind her friend. Bolin was on the couch, a soda in his hand.

"Mako's out cold. Hard day, apparently." Bolin said before taking another sip of his drink. Jinora walked over to the couch and placed her hands on it, eyes on the screen.

"I used to love this show! Move over, Bolin," she said while hopping over the back of the couch, grunting with her landing. Korra watched them and laughed.

"I'm gonna head to sleep. I'll see you both in the morning. Jinora, you know where the guest room is, right?" Jinora nodded and Bolin sent her a wave.

"Night, Korra!" Korra smiled and trekked up her stairway, collapsing into her bed. She sighed and removed her pants and shirt, crawling beneath the warm blankets. She rested her head on her soft white pillow, breathing in the scent of detergent. She let out a final sigh before she drifted off to light sleep.

Korra was snapped out of her sleep as she heard a stumble from outside her room and a quiet curse. She rolled her eyes at Bolin and shifted to her side, trying to fall back asleep but to no avail. So instead, she thought. She thought about her encounters with Asami and, though they were short, was a lot more than just that. She felt her cheeks heat up and she groaned, rubbing her face into her pillow.
