Shooting Stars
A Korrasami Fanfiction
By Nagone
Summary: Can we pretend that those aren't really blimps, but are shooting stars?
Genre: Romance
Rated: K
Inspired by B.O.B's "Airplanes"
Blimps, strung with bright electric lights, churned across the night sky of Republic City, belching vapor high above. Below, on top of Future Industry's helipad, stood Korra and Asami, hand in hand, silence settling between them like an old friend. The blimps flew by, glimmering like a spree of stars.
They cascaded by, rising and falling like shooting stars, and for a moment, Asami closed her eyes, and pretended they weren't flying, but were balls of gaseous magic, streaking slowly across the sky. She knew it was silly, but it soothed her, and Korra took note.
"Wishing again?" she whispered.
"Yeah," Asami answered. "I…I could use it right now."
"Same thing?" Korra asked. It always was: a wish for them to be away from Republic City and its problems, for them to be spirited off to a place just for them.
"Always."
The silence resettled between them and they watched the night continue, wishing hard that the day would come soon where they were simply together.
