In Asami's POV
Episode where Korra invites Mako, Bolin, and Asami to live with her at the air temple, after figuring out that Asami's father is an equalist.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Legend of Korra. Though I so wish too. heehee. Then Zuko would be Lin's dad, and her bending would not be gone
Day 1
Can you believe Bolin bought me a journal? Haha, he seems so, how do I put this, interesting? He has a good heart though. He said Pabu told him to buy me one. But I suspect that it's that 2 for 1 sale in the city that is the reason I now have one. He was even writing in a leather book yesterday. Plus, I doubt he would give one to his brother, or Korra, seeing their current situations at hand.
...
"Oh, Bolin," I chuckled to myself. I put the soft, small book down. It was very plain, made of black leather and bound together with bamboo-straw, much plainer than the things I was used to having, but I liked it anyways.
Sitting on the bed I was given, I thought about how plain this room was too. But it was comfy. Cozy. Quite charming actually. Though it reminded me of how much my life has changed. And in only the course of a few weeks.
I rolled, over, hugging a pillow, sighing. I felt lost, misunderstood. I didn't know what to do. So I started writing again.
Day 1(Part 2)
Before, I was just some "spoiled, daddy's girl" to people who saw me. So I trained myself to fight, drive, and think. I was a woman. But, I could hold up for myself. I would be independent and strong, with or without my father's riches.
But it was lonely.
Then, I ran into Mako. Literally! I ran right into him. And he was gorgeous. I invited him to a date, invited him to see my father to fund for their Fire Ferret campaign, and even had him and his brother stay at our house. I was falling for this fire bending pro-bender.
But I really didn't know why.
He's cute. He's good-looking. He's strong and sweet. And he makes me feel, safe. I felt comfortable around him. I suppose he seems like, the "perfect guy" or a "dream boyfriend". So is that what it all was? Is that all he was?
...
I closed the book again, for the last time that day. It hurt to think about it. Ikki, why did you have to say that? It hurts more knowing it now, then being naïve and not noticing anything at all. Every time they touch, look at each other, speak, and interact, her words swim through my ears.
My eyes started getting heavy and I walked to the bathroom quietly. Wiping off my make-up, I stared into the mirror. What is it about Korra that makes me not good enough? I shook my head, "What are you thinking! She's your friend." Still, I pulled up my hair, trying out Korra's usual style. I frowned; I looked like an electrocuted badger-mole. I punched at the stack of towels, frustrated. Unlocking the door and stepping outside, I almost stepped onto Meelo.
"Beautiful Lady! You look sad! Not a good look. I will give you this present to make you beautiful again," he told me, bowing, while handing me a red barrette.
I stifled a giggle, and then smiled, "Thank you Meelo, though you didn't have to get me something."
"Do not worry!" he explained, floating up to my height, "I stole it from Ikki," he whispered.
"Well run along, my brave thief, as you should not be in the girl's quarter anyways," I told him winking.
As he dashed off, I in turn, walked back to my room.
At least someone likes me.
