Note:
This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic, so comments would be nice on what I need to improve on, what I did well, and what you all want to see next! Please, feel free to leave a comment because I would really love it. Anyways, I will do my best to post a better chapter in a few days. This was just like a starter. Stay tuned!
The sun started disappearing behind the horizon, and the wind calmed as the temperature dropped. The streets of Republic City were barren; almost no one was out pondering their business. Most streets in the new area of Republic City had been finished, and small apartments and stores were added. Having been eight months after Kuvira's attack, some new skyscrapers had been erected east of the new spirit portal. Downtown still remained spirit wilds and harbored harmonious life such as spirits, vines, and small creatures. The only building that was restored was Future Industries Tower. It stood tall over the rubble and vines that lay around Downtown Republic City. Or at least what used to be downtown.
"Korra, sweety, I'm going to head over to the office, again. Don't wait for me for dinner." Rushing, Asami pulled her coat from the closet and slipped it on. She had been working full time since Korra and she had come back from their small vacation in the spirit world. Both had to spend long periods of time away from each other after their vacation because of the damage Kuvira had caused. She was the CEO of Future Industries, the most powerful businesswoman in the world. And Korra, well, she was the Avatar, the most powerful person in the world. They both knew their relationship was going to be difficult because of their responsibilities, but they managed. So far, at least. Patience wasn't one of Korra's strongest suits, but she managed to wait and spend as much time with Asami as she could. Her girlfriend, the most brilliant, most caring, most amazing person she had ever met, meant the world to her. Korra could never let Asami go, and she would always love her.
"Are you serious? You're spending another night at the tower?" Korra let out a huff in disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Korra. I have to run through a lot of paperwork and sign stuff and approve this and that and ugh!" Asami groaned as she approached the door.
"Why can't we just have one day off? Not even a day, just a night. It's been almost two months since we've gone out together and had time just for ourselves."
"What about next Thursday? I don't have any meetings set there, yet."
"Sounds perfect! Let's take that day off! Please, oh spirits, I miss you!" Korra was relieved. She finally got time to spend with her girlfriend. Finally.
"Okay… we'll do it!" Asami gave the tan skinned girl a shocked look and blushed lightly a few seconds after she'd realized what she said. "I mean, not that way, unless you want to. I mean umm-" She was cut off by a passionate kiss from Korra. It was cute when she did that. Asami rarely blushed, and it was always a moment that made sparks fly in Korra's stomach. Actually, to be completely honest, most things that Asami did made Korra feel a spark inside. It was so nice to be in love, to have these many feelings for someone; although, Korra sometimes let those intense feelings take over. For instance, now. The Avatar, master of all four elements, the savior of the world, a spiritual leader, could not help herself when it came to Asami Sato. Her hands crawled under the heiress's coat and pulled her close, deepening the kiss. Korra's hips started grinding up against Asami's, and a soft, faint moan was let out by the raven beauty. Asami pulled back and took Korra's hands away. "Korra…" She trailed off for a few seconds, thinking of what to say, "I love you, but I have to go. This just isn't the time."
"Sorry," the caramel skinned woman apologized. She was right; this wasn't the time. "I'll be here when you get back. Thursday, right?"
"Mhmm," Asami gave her girlfriend one quick peck on the lips and shot out the door.
"Fuck! Why did you do that, Korra?" She murmured to herself. Korra shuffled over to the stairs and took a couple of steps up. "Why did you have to let that get out of control, again?!" It wasn't the first time Korra had tried to pull something off with Asami. Just last week the water tribe girl had done the same thing. Asami was off to an important meeting, and her girlfriend had let her emotions get in the way. Of course nothing happened because the heiress had pulled away from it like she had done just a few minutes ago.
The two had been together for about eight months, and they still hadn't made love to each other. Yes, they loved each other so deeply, but there was never a right time to do it. Asami had to run her company and help rebuild the city, while Korra had avatar duties. Both would always come home exhausted from a hard day's work to just fall asleep in each others' arms. The subject of having sex would sometimes come into their conversations while laying in bed, but they had never had enough energy to carry on with the idea.
Korra slowly made her way up the stairs, still beating herself up about her stupidity, "All you had to do was kiss her and told her you loved her. That's all! Why did you have to make things so awkward?"
Her ranting continued through the hallway towards the master bedroom. When she reached the doors, she stopped to take a breath in order to refresh herself. Don't beat yourself up. It wasn't that bad. At least not as bad as last month. Korra cringed at the thought of what had happened. Somehow, she had embarrassed both Asami and her in front of Mako and Bolin. Of course the brothers didn't ever mention it, even right after it happened, but it was still pretty bad. Ermm... Just don't think about it. I'm tired, and I have an excuse for tonight, at least. Korra shrugged at her thoughts then realized her lack of sleep was getting to her. She could finally sleep a whole entire night. "Alone," she sighed.
The door was open, and the avatar walked into the silent room. The bed was made, all clothes were put away, and the room was spotless. Classic Asami, Korra thought. Asami didn't allow any sort of mess, and with Korra around, she sometimes ranted on about how her girlfriend didn't pick up after herself. Korra was never much for cleanliness, but she did her best of trying to remember to pick up after herself.
Korra stripped her clothes and put on some fresh sweat pants and a tank top, then got comfortable in the bed. The day had ended, and the full moon's light shined in through the faint curtains that shaded the windows, lighting the bed and side tables. Only one thing stood on Asami's side table: a picture of her and her family. Asami was about four in the picture. Her mother held the little girl up between her and Hiroshi. Both were kissing Asami's cheeks, causing the child to giggle and squirm.
Korra picked up the framed photo and took a long look at it. Their family was perfect. Both of her parents loved her, and they seemed to put all their love and care into their daughter. Her Asami was happy, back then. Korra wished she could bring her girlfriend's mother and father back, or at least let her visit them in the spirit world. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyway to connect to them. As the Avatar, Korra still couldn't find any way to get to their spirits. She'd tried numerous times, but she finally gave up and told Asami that there was no use in trying anymore.
The only two things Asami had left that really meant something to her were Future Industries and Korra.
A sneer ran across his face as he stroked the scruff on his chin. "Very interesting. Looks like the Avatar has a weak spot for Miss Sato."
"If the plan doesn't work, we can target her. The Avatar is the most powerful human in the world, so it's definitely a useful advantage we'll have, if we manage to capture Asami Sato."
"No, the plan will work if we already have Miss Sato in our possession. Send a telegram to Iwa, and tell him to meet us in Avatar Korra Park at sundown at the end of the week. We will have the Avatar, soon, and Republic City will be free."
