I was going to leave this in more capable writers' hands, but I couldn't resist! Almost a month has gone by and I'm still actively freaking out about my OTP becoming Canon!

"Sounds perfect." Korra said as she looked towards the new Spirit Portal, the one she had created. Her best friend also looked outward toward the portal, leaning back on her hands as well under the Gazebo on Air temple Island.

"How did you do that anyway?" Asami questioned.

Korra, reading her mind as to what she was talking about, answered "I redirected the Spiritual energy the vines were using. It's kind of like bending another's energy, making it so they can't bend. I redirected the destructive energy and concentrated it, which I guess made it into a Spirit Portal. I imagine my Uncle and Vaatu had originally planned on making a portal here anyway to let dark spirits into Republic City faster, but couldn't finish the job since Jinora and I stopped him."

"Not a whole lot of that makes sense to me, but okay. What about Vaatu anyway?" Asami questioned, her intellectual mind always wondering.

"I suppose he will reappear in 10,000 years." Korra sighed, bringing her hands off the ground and hugging her knees. "The work is never done, is it?" she laughed half-heartedly, turning to Asami and flashing an adorable crooked smile as she leaned back on her hands again.

"I guess not. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try!" Asami stated enthusiastically. "But I don't know a lot about Spirit stuff or how to help. But I hope to learn about it! I'm very excited for our vacation to the Spirit World Korra." She continued to look at the Avatar as she slid her hand on top of Korra's.

Korra looked down at her booted feet and blushed. "I am too Asami…"

"So much as changed." Asami mused, looking back out at the portal. "We have really changed."

"Yeah." Korra nodded in agreement.

"I remember when I first met you. You were such a hot head." Asami laughed. "And I was so naïve…"

Korra shifted her weight, remembering those days. They stayed silent awhile before Asami continued.

"It was so great when we started to become close." She squeezed Korra's hand. "I finally had someone that I could talk comfortably with. I wasn't being used because of my money or wealth. Or desired after for my beauty. I could just be… me. It was so freeing to be with you Korra." Asami sighed. "When I saw you fall to Zaheer, and almost die in your father's arms…" Asami felt a tear fall, and squeezed Korra's hand again. "I didn't know what to do, and I was so scared.

Korra immediately enveloped Asami in a hug again, holding her tighter this time. She wasn't sure what to say to comfort her friend, but she held her close anyway. She felt Asami's forehead rest against her shoulder. She put her hand on the back of Asami's head and stroked her hair. "It's okay Asami. I'm here now. It's okay," She continued to stroke her hair, then pulled away, looking into Asami's eyes and resting her forehead against her's. "I am here now." She smiled. "And I'm not going to leave again." She said, wrapping her into another hug.

Asami laughed. "That's good. I don't think I could take another three years without you." She felt Korra flinch, then her chest heave in a half-hearted laugh as she was pulled tighter in to the hug.

"I don't think I could take another three years without you either. You are my best friend, and so kind to me." Korra began to shake. "I remember you taking care of me after I was poisoned. You tried so hard to keep me positive, but was so understanding as to why I wasn't. I don't think I could have made it those first few weeks without you. You were always by my side."

Asami pulled away and saw Korra was crying. She grasped both of Korra's hands that were in her lap. "I remember those days too. I remember you wouldn't let yourself cry, only a tear or two every now and then. I wanted so bad to help you in any way I could." She saw Korra's head drop as tears continued to stream down her face. She bent down a bit to look into her eyes, even if she was trying to shield them. "I remember when you finally let your guard down. I was helping you into a bath. I had just gotten you undressed and as I was helping you stand to get in, you slipped and nearly fell, but I caught you just in time. I helped you into the water with all my clothes on, and I remember you just letting go and sobbing, so frustrated at how little you could do on your own. You didn't yell at me to get out as anyone else would, you just sobbed. When you were done, you looked up at me and with the saddest voice apologized. You just said you were so… tired."

"I wanted to die that day." Korra suddenly confessed, rubbing the tops of Asami's hands in her lap. "If you weren't there I would have given up, and found a way to end my life."

Asami cupped her cheek. "I am so glad you are here now."

Korra smilled and leaned into her cheek. "I'm glad too. I love you so much Asami."

"I love you too." Asami smiled. She rested her hand on the back of Korra's neck and pulled her into another hug.

Korra nuzzled against Asami's chest and they just sat in silence, hugging one another. They sighed, letting the mood pass.

"I… kinda gotta admit something." Asami stated, suddenly tense.

Korra sat up and took Asami's hands again. "What is it? You can tell me anything." She smiled.

Asami was a bit embarrassed and blushed. She put her hand on the back of her head and giggled, her metal bracelets clinking as they slide down her arm. "Remember when we were looking for Aiwei?"

"Of course!" Korra said, as she squeezed Asami's hands.

"I… kinda got a bit of a crush on you during that journey." She let that fact hang in the air and watched Korra, gauging her reaction. Korra's eyes widened, but she said nothing. Asami continued, mostly to fill up the awkward silence. "You were just so strong, assertive and confident, and I could be myself around you, which was such a welcome change. You were also so selfless and kind, which is something that humanity has proven to me time and again that it is not capable of, yet you were, even with all your power. You're extremely beautiful too. I knew however it was deeper than a crush after you were poisoned. I realized just how much I cared for you."

Korra lowered her eyes and interlaced her fingers with Asami's. "I realized my feelings for you ran deeper while I was healing in the Southern Water tribe." Asami's eyes widened, shocked her feelings were reciprocated. "I mean, I thought you were pretty and such before, but I hadn't realized my own sexual orientation at that point since I was just a teenager. But when I went home to heal, I realized how much I missed you, and reading your letters were heart-breaking for me. You were so kind and supportive of me. Even when I had given up on myself, you hadn't given up on me. But… I thought I didn't have a chance with you. You're smart, confident, and beautiful." Korra looked to the side and down. "Plus I figured… you were straight. I mean, I had never liked a girl before and had always considered myself straight…"

Asami laughed. "So, what is your orientation anyway?"

"I don't know the name for it, but I don't think the gender matters for me when it comes to how I feel about someone romantically.

Asami turned her head to the side, unsure either. "I always considered myself to be bisexual. I find both men and women attractive. I guess that label works for you as well!"

Korra laughed. "I guess so!" She looked down again, shy. "So… for three years we have secretly liked each other?"

Asami giggled. "I guess so! That explains that blush when I complimented your new hair." Asami winked, as she ran her fingers through the hair that hung loosely around Korra's face.

Korra blushed, looking up again. "Hey! I'm not the only one that was obvious! You brought tea to a firebender because you thought I might be cold!"

Asami blushed as well, continuing to play with Korra's hair. "I guess that's true. But you thought it was sweet." She smirked.

"Well, you are sweet." Korra looked down as her blush deepened. "I'm really happy Asami."

Asami smiled at the compliment as she leaned in, lifting Korra's chin with the hand that had been playing with her hair. "I'm really happy too Korra." She smiled, bringing their lips together in a sweet, chaste kiss.

Korra wrapped her arms around Asami's shoulders as Asami wrapped hers around Korra's waist, pulling the other tighter as the kiss deepened. When they released, gasping for breath, they put their foreheads together and giggled. "Come on, let's get out of here." Asami said, nodding her head upward to convey the message that she wanted to leave.

"Yeah, we have a vacation to take!" Korra exclaimed excitedly, grasping Asami's hands and helping her stand. She leaned upward, giving Asami a quick peck on the lips. "And I don't think I can wait much longer to take you to the Spirit World."

Awwww… it's so fluffy!
