Asami didn't really celebrate Gratitude Day.

Oh, she did. It's just that she didn't find it necessary. She grew up wealthy, became an engineering genius and generally got what she wanted. Only on occasion, did she celebrate Gratitude Day, and they always came after her mother's death. What was she grateful for? What she had, of course.

She never expected it to change. Starting when her father turned out to be an Equalist, nearly losing her company, nearly losing KORRA and then finally actually losing her father, she had a new attitude.

This series of events, plus her welcoming Korra into her life, were the animus for her to start celebrating Gratitude Day, at least in her own way.

It started not long after Kuvira's attack on Republic City. Since Kuvira attacked during the middle of summer, Gratitude Day, which feel at the end of summer, would be the first one the two would spend as a couple.

Asami awoke in her own bed at the Sato Manor. Mako and Bolin's grandma, who was still living there, had come in to do some dusting. "What are you doing here, granny?" Asami asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Oh, good morning, Korra," Granny said while continuing her dusting and not even looking at the Future Industries CEO. "Don't you know what day it is, today?"

"No," Asami groaned.

"It's Gratitude Day!"

Asami perked up. "Wait, you mean it's today!?"

"Of course!" Granny replied.

Asami groaned again, rubbing her face, which was bare of make-up. "Oh, Spirits, I forgot!"

"Well, that's okay, Ms. Sato," Granny said. "It's been busy!"

"I know, I know!" Asami said as she jumped out of bed. "I have some things I need to do!"

"Well, don't let me get in your way!" Granny said.

Asami rushed through her morning routine so quickly she forgot her make-up. Rushing downstairs, she looked around for Korra.

But she was nowhere in sight.

Asami's sense of urgency wasn't entirely going crazy at this point. Korra had been busy ever since they returned from their Spirit World vacation. And as far as she knew, had not told anyone about their relationship just yet. They really should tell the others and soon.

The dining room was occupied by Bolin and Opal, who were catching up in their down time in between rebuilding and Air Nation duty. "Asami! Hey! Happy Gratitude Day!" Bolin called. "Opal and I are just have the most wonderful breakfast ever! And what's this drink they served us? It's black and tastes kinda… bitter."

"It's coffee, Bolin," said Asami. "It's rare. By the way, have you two seen Korra?"

"I think Korra went to Air Temple Island today," said Opal. "Are you grateful for anything today?"

"All I know is, I'm grateful for everyone, especially my lovely girlfriend, Opal!" said Bolin. "And Mako, and Pabu, and you for inviting us here!"

"And I'm grateful for my mom, Grandma Toph, you, and of course, Bolin," said Opal. "By the way, you look nice without make-up."

"Oh, I do?" Asami said. "Oh dear, I must've forgotten to put it on."

"It's okay!" said Bolin.

"Do you know when Korra might be back?" Asami asked.

"Probably later," said Bolin. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Asami said.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

She spent the day buried in her work. There was still considerable paperwork involving the rebuilding of parts of downtown (due to public pressure) as well as the expansion of the city. It was stressful. All the financing that needed to be taken care of, the plans, the equipment involved, all of it was tiring.

She must've spent the entire day in her office before she heard the knock on her door. "Come in!"

"Hey-heeey, Asami, sweetie!" Korra bellowed as she barged in.

"Korra, what are you—"

"Tenzin let me go early and—wow, um, you look really pretty without your make-up."

Asami was about to yell at Korra before her girlfriend praised her looks. Her cheeks turned red. "Oh, um, thanks, sweetie—wait, what are you doing!? I was working!"

"Come on, it's Gratitude Day!" Korra said cheerfully. "What're you doing working?"

It was here that Asami remembered something. And her anger at Korra disappeared. "Oh, that's right!" she said. "Sweetie, could you please join me outside?"

"Gladly," said Korra.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

She led Korra out to the pavilion. She held Korra's hands, looked down sheepishly and then made eye contact with Korra. "You do know I never really celebrated Gratitude Day, right?"

"Yeah," Korra replied.

"Well, I think I've changed my mind," Asami continued. "Ever since my father died and you entered my life, I've been thinking. And well, you have no idea how grateful I am to have you in my life… as well as Mako and Bolin. But—I don't know if I can put into words just how grateful I am to have you. All I can say is that I love you more than anything."

Korra was quiet for a moment. She just looked at Asami's eyes, which were agonizingly sad, but full of love for the woman in front of her. Korra smiled.

"I don't know if I could express how grateful I am for you too," she said. "I'm pretty sure I could tell Bolin, Mako, Tenzin and everyone else how grateful I am for them, but… I'm not good at saying anything romantic, or saying how much you mean to me. After everything that's happened over these past 4 years, I think I've earned some happiness in my life. And I'm grateful that you're with me. I love you, too."

Asami smiled, took Korra's head in her hands and brought her forward to kiss her. Both closed their eyes and let the moment take over, enveloping each in their embrace.

The kiss lasted only a few moments until they ended it, with Korra burying her face in Asami's shoulder, hugging her tightly, just like Asami. "I could get used to this," she murmured. "Best Gratitude Day ever?"

"Best ever."

"Aw, if that isn't the sweetest thing I've ever seen!"

Asami and Korra let each other go. Granny walked up to the pavilion, smiling at both of them.

"Oh, uh, hey Granny," Korra said nervously. "What're you doing here?"

"Oh, just taking a walk," Granny replied. "And I just happened to see you two hugging!"

"Oh, uh hugging?" Asami asked.

"Yes!" Granny replied. "It's so wonderful to see such a beautiful friendship like you two have!"

Both younger women nearly face-planted in embarrassment.

The end

My second one-shot for the day. Like I said, I couldn't decide on Kataang or Korrasami, so this is my Korrasami contribution. I guess the idea is that because Asami was rich, her father never really celebrated the holiday, but Asami has a lot to be grateful for now. Especially with Korra in her life (is shameless shipper trash). I hope you like it!
