A/N: And here it is! The first story for What the Present Keeps! Sorry that this took such a long time to type up. I started having mixed feelings over what I had written, which caused me to not want to type it up. Hopefully you guys like it, as I'm not really a fan of this story... I feel it could've been different, but no matter! More stories will come!
Disclaimer: If I owned LoK, do you think I would've made Korra like Mako? Exactly. Which means that I don't own LoK(sadly).

The day after the finale

Korra ran a hand through her hair, pushing it off to the side. Rubbing sleep from her eyes, she reached for the three ties that would secure her hair in her familiar wolf tails. After successfully securing her hair, she shuffled over to the small closet to grab her usual attire and put it on. While she was slipping her boots on, she realized her shirt was on backwards. "Crap.." She groaned, adjusting the shirt so that it was normal. "Sleep is good Korra. Sleep is very good," She said to herself, rubbing the last remnants of sleep from her eyes before she left the room.

Today was the day everybody went back to Republic City, and everybody was abuzz with talk, excited to get back to their homes. Mako looked up at Korra and smiled, getting up from his seat to plant a kiss on her cheek. Smiling halfheartedly, she took the seat between him and Asami, busy eying the various food that was on the table. The Avatar reached for a roll, her hand hitting Asami's when she, too, reached for a roll. Being kind, the heiress drew her hand back, letting the Avatar grab some food.

"Thanks Asami," Korra said, her mind somewhere else. For that brief moment their hands had touched, Korra felt something strange, like a tingling that traveled through her entire being. The only thing she could compare that feeling to was when she first kissed Mako. She sat there, mindlessly eating the roll as she pondered what this meant.

It was only until Mako cleared his throat that Korra realized she had been staring at Asami the entire time. "Hey, are you okay? Your face is red. Are you feeling alright?" Mako was about to put his hand on Korra's cheek, as if to see if she if she was running a fever.

Korra grabbed his hand and put it down on the table, flashing a fake smile. "Yeah, I'm alright. I just-I just need some air." She got up, running a hand through her hair as she walked out, grabbing her parka on the way.

Korra traveled down to where Naga was, petting the polar bear dog before she started pacing in front of the huge animal.

"I honestly don't know what to do Naga!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms into the air. "I like Mako, but recently, things haven't turned out to be all that. I rushed into this thing, and now I'm paying for it! I don't really even like Mako anymore. Whatever was there is just...gone! But why is it that now I can't get rid of Asami? How come I now have feelings for her? Did I always like her, and just thought it was my 'love' for Mako?" She made air quotes over the word love, shaking her head as she continued. "It doesn't feel right, but I still can't shake the fact that there might be something between me and Asami. And what if there is?" Korra shook her head, "No, there definitely is something between me and that green-eyed girl. But, what if Asami doesn't like me back? What if she goes on, not really even caring about me? I mean, I did steal her boyfriend, and all that stuff, which made me feel horrible, and I couldn't blame her if she hated me. But then, what if she does? How do I tell her without looking stupid?" Korra stopped pacing and turned towards her animal guide.

Korra noticed Naga was wagging her tail, a sign that somebody else was around, and Korra's face turned red with embarrassment, not turning around to see who it was. The feminine sound of somebody clearing her throat confirmed that somebody was there, and had probably been there for a good time.

Korra spun around, her cyan eyes wide with shock. "Oh, A-Asami. How long have you been there?" One word drifted into Korra's mind. That one word was 'Busted.'

Asami laughed, loving the way Korra was acting, finding it amusing that a simple confession could turn the almighty Avatar into an embarrassed girl. "Long enough," Asami walked up to the Avatar, grabbing the shorter girl's arms, her emerald eyes serious. "Did you mean all of that?"

Korra blinked, staring into the jade eyes of this girl, loving the smell of leather that rolled off of her. It was in that second that Korra realized how little space there was between the two, and the brash girl kissed her taller counterpart.

Asami's eyes widened before relaxing. Korra broke away, realizing what she had done. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

Asami grabbed Korra's chin gently, making her look up. She stared into those azure eyes with a newly found passion for this girl. "That's okay, because I mean this." Asami gently kissed Korra, unsure at first, as she felt Korra's lips become tense. Korra's eyes were wide open in shock, a blush rising to her cheeks. The Avatar relaxed, smiling under Asami's lips before she kissed back, joy spreading through her entire body. As soon as Korra returned the kiss, both of them became more sure of themselves, their kiss becoming more fierce and passionate.

A familiar voice calling their names brought the two back to the world, both of them breaking apart.

Korra rubbed the back of her neck, looking at Asami. "We should probably go now. They're probably worrying about us now and M-" She was cut off by Asami giving her a quick kiss to make her quiet. "Stop talking," Asami said, a smile on her face as she grabbed the stunned Avatar, dragging her out and back to the house. Korra grinned and walked with her, their hand locked together.

A/N: Aaaaaand there you have it. I guess you could say that this has Korra and Asami's first kiss in it, but I'm planning on writing something that has a legit first kiss... Please review, give me some ideas, anything! I'm up for anything! Just nothing too...I dunno, make-out-y?(If that's even a word...) Anyway, review, give me your thoughts, tell me how I'm doing, if you liked what's here, ideas that futher their relationship, really weird scenes, anything! :D
Also, I'd like to thank these people for giving me ideas on what to write, and giving me the confidence to write these stories.(I probably mentioned you in the announcement, but who cares?)
