Morning After
Korra blinked as awareness came back to her, staring up at the dimly lit room, the brief glow of sunlight seen from the places between the curtains. She turned her head to the left, giving a tender smile to the figure sleeping beside her.
Even with her dark wavy hair in disarray and spread over the pillow, Asami Sato looked absolutely beautiful asleep. Her rosy lips were curved in a small smile, as her shoulders rose and fell with each breath.
The Avatar carefully sat up and stood from the bed, making sure her movements did not disrupt her lover's slumber. She bent down to pick up the white tank top that had been thrown to the floor after Asami had pulled it over her head- a memory of last night's lovemaking caused Korra's smile to broaden. Her pajama bottoms swished as she moved out of the room towards the bathroom.
Her bright blue eyes wandered as she watched her reflection in the mirror, brushing her teeth after a splash of water to her face helped awaken her fully. A brief glance to her reflection's shoulder made her blink, lean in and flex slightly to get a better view of what she was looking at.
There were scratches on her shoulder, five marks that were thin, pink stripes, and… was that a bruise on her neck? Oh…
Korra's teeth appeared as she grinned at the reflection's hickey, giving a satisified nod as she pointed at her reflection, who returned the gesture. "Oh yeah… who gave Miss Sato the ride of her life last night?" The young woman flexed her arms, both thumbs pointing at her chest in a self-proud way, the grin becoming slightly smug.
"That's right, this Avatar," she chuckled to herself.
An answering laugh caused her smile to fade and her eyes to widen as she turned toward the door. Asami leaned against the frame, a single tendril of dark hair over one eye, helping the rest of her sleep-tousled locks frame her beautiful features as she laughed softly.
Korra could feel the heat on her cheeks, knowing she was caught in her juvenile behavior. Jade green eyes glimmered as Asami stepped forward, circling the smaller, muscular woman with her embrace, arms draped over the strong shoulders. Korra's smile reappeared as Asami kissed the side of her still blushing face.
"Good morning," Asami whispered, smiling at their reflections.
"M-morning," Korra managed to say, grinning. "I was just… I mean," she began, but stopped when Asami softly giggled against the tender skin between shoulder and chin.
"You're adorable when you do things like that," Asami whispered. Her lips found the place on Korra's neck she had claimed last night, kissing over the red-purplish mark. The Avatar shivered in her embrace, giving a quick smile.
"And you're such a tease," Korra grinned, twisting around to kiss the beautiful woman again.
