First love

Korra couldn't explain why but she felt way more comfortable with Asami than she was with Mako. He was a great guy, but Asami was on a way different league than him. She sat next to her in her Satomobile as she drove recklessly across the moonlit Republic City. Korra had gotten somewhat used to her driving antics, as she sat lower on the seat than usual, her head was where her chest should've been. She only grabbed hold onto something when Asami took corners too fast, she wasn't sure if she could ever get used to that. She just stared at Asami for the most part, she seemed so free and happy, as if driving was her natural element.

"So, where are we going?" Korra asked, fighting the sound of the wind.

"Nowhere in particular, unless you know of a place that I don't." That sparked an idea, she took an unexpected sharp turn, making Korra almost tumbling into her lap. Asami looked down at Korra as she tried to get back into her seat fully.

"I didn't know we were at that stage in our relationship yet." She said slyly with a raised eyebrow.

Korra eyes opened fully quickly in full realization of what Asami just implied. She blushed and looked away from her in full embarrassment.

Asami laughed at her, she was too adorable.

…

Asami stopped her car and Korra sat right up and gathered her bearings.

"It's the only beach in Republic City." Asami responded to Korra's unasked question.

"So why are we here? Isn't it bit late to tan?"

"I want you to bend." Asami turned off the ignition and leapt out of the car, Korra remained motionless for several seconds in a confused state. She shrugged and followed Asami down to the water. She stepped to the shoreline and started her usual water bending exercises.

"No, not like that." Asami interrupted her. She walked over to her and forced off her pelt and she began to attempt to take off Korra's boots.

"What are you doing?"

"You're going to go into the water and then bend."

"Why?"

Asami stopped what she was doing and stood up. "Because, I want to see you in your natural form." Asami answered softly.

Korra just stared at her in slight amazement as she returned to take off her boots, this time she wasn't resisting. Asami then rolled up her pants to her thighs. Korra remained silent as she saw her new girlfriend doing things for her. Her insides turned a bit, she liked her, there was no doubt in that, but maybe it's something more. They've only been together for a short time now, could she really be developing feelings for her this quickly? Or maybe it was just the sensation of Asami's smooth skin contacting her legs that made things escalate in her mind.

"There!" Asami said with approval as she stood back up and patted Korra's shoulder. She let out a smile, she couldn't help it really. Being with Korra was probably going to be the best decision she has made, even though being with her would be extremely challenging, both emotionally and physically. But she was very willing to attempt it, Korra was the most amazing person she has ever met, she couldn't afford to let this opportunity go. She lo—Did she really have that thought? She tried to recollect her thoughts and get back on track. "Ok, now get in the water and bend."

"Okay…." Korra couldn't explain why but she was slightly embarrassed, maybe because this was the first time she was going to perform her bending to someone in private. She had no other idea, but she just went with that. She walked into the cold water until she was waist deep and she turned around to face Asami who just sat down on the sand.

"No, face the ocean." Korra obliged, though she wondered why she did. She resumed with her basic water bending exercise and quickly finished. She dropped the water she bended back into the water. She took a deep breath and began to turn around, wondering what was the point in all this.

"Again! And this time do it much slower!" she heard Asami calling out to her. Still confused she returned to her position and once again began doing her exercise, but this time much slower. She had to admit, doing it slower seemed a bit more troublesome. She was used to her normal quick paced exercise, remembering to slow down took some concentration away from the actual bending.

"Slower!" Asami yelled out again. She wanted to stay here for as long as she could, it was quite a scene to see the Avatar bending her natural element. She swore it was fire, with her stubbornness and her rash thinking, but this was something completely different. She majestically crafted the water around her into different shapes and sizes. She was quite beautiful with the moon's light reflecting from the water. Her mind raced with thoughts surrounding the Avatar. She knew it then.

"Again and remember to go slower!" This was her chance, Asami quietly unzipped her boots and slowly removed her pants. She gulped and walked ever slowly towards the girl in the water.

Korra's arms were getting tired, with the repetitious movements and her ever decreasing speed, it has become quite a challenge. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, making her solely focus on her movements and bending, keeping it slow and steady. Her body slowly swayed in the water, and her only concentration was on the speed. Her muscles relaxed and things returned to their incredible easy state. She slowly reopened her eyes, as she was confident that she had everything under control, only to see Asami standing in front of her. She blinked, clearly her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she still stood in front of her. She opened her mouth but nothing came out besides her own breath. Her mind and heart raced.

"Korra…" Asami raised her hand to feel her face. She paused, making sure this was certain, but there were no objections in her mind. "I love you…,Korra." She leaned her head closer to hers.

"I love you too, Asami…."Korra replied quietly, her breath was hot as she exhaled onto Asami's face.

They locked lips for the first time since the kiss they shared in Korra's bedroom, and even though they both kissed each other, this time it felt like the real thing. They both loved each other deeply and they knew that they were perfect to be with each other. The first was slow and passionate, but the speed quickly increased as they began to realize their desires. Korra's heart and mind stirred violently, this was definitely more intense than what she ever experienced with Mako, and she loved it. She began to push back and made Asami slightly lean backwards. She pulled back for a second before pulling Asami under the water. She bent the water away from their heads and resumed kissing her.
