I woke to the feeling of someone rubbing my side and a kiss to the top of my head.
"I know that your awake Korra." Noatak tells me still rubbing my side.
"Hm, morning." I say rolling over so my face was in the crook of his neck with a smile on my face.
"Good morning." He says giving me a little squeeze and kissing the top of my head.
While Noatak was holding me I couldn't help but think of how we got here.
I let out a sigh as I think about how I found Noatak on the side of the river.
Flashback:
I was on Naga as she raced through the trees, I just got back from the south pole after everything that happened with Amon, me losing my bending, then when Avatar Aang gave me my bending. Then Mako told me that he loved me, all I told him was that for the time being I don't want to worry about a relationship and that I just want to focus on my Avatar training and getting a handle on everything that is going on in my life. It made me feel back with the look he gave me, but he said that he understood.
I was day dreaming when all of a sudden Naga came to a dead stop that sent me flying off of her back.
"Hey what was that for Naga?" I say to her a little mad, but then I realized that she wasn't even paying any attention to me, she was starring at something so I turned to see what she was starring at and that was when I seen the mans body on the river bed. I gasp with my eyes wide and run over the man. When I got to him I rolled him onto his side and jumped back with a gasp and fell backwards.
"Amon." I say slightly terrified of the man that lied unconcise in front of me.
I was very tempted to just get up and leave and let this man die, thinking that someone like him doesn't deserve to live, but at the same time that is not who I am, so I look around to see if I can see anywhere to take him. There was a cave not to far where he was laying. I grab him by the shoulders and started to drag him towards the cave. I did feel bad when he moaned in pain with every step that I took.
Once I got him in the cave I lied him on him back and got some water from the river to start healing him. The first spot that I started healing was his face, but it was only the left side that needed to be healed. The water went around his left side of his face and around his eye and as the healing went on I could see a difference in his face already. Thinking that his face was good for now I moved down to his chest and stomach area, as I went on with the healing I could see that he had relaxed a bit.
"Must be in less pain now." I thought to myself.
I must have been healing him for about half an hour when I needed a break, it was only midday so I still had time till I had to be back. I walked out of the cave and down to the river to catch some fish.
I caught four fish and then headed back to the cave sat the fish down and turned to Naga and pointed at her, "No taking the fish." She just lays her head down and lets out a whine and lays down her head down. Leaving the cave I went looking for firewood. Once I found firewood I went back to the cave started a fire and cleaned and cooked the fish, this all took about an hour to do and with in that hour I heard a groan from behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see that Amon or well Noatak was sitting up holding his side and looking at me.
"Well look who is back with the land of the living." I say and side a dish over with some fish in it. He just looks at the dish and gives me a weird look.
"You need to eat so you can get your strength back up. So eat." I tell him turning around to face him.
"You saved me. Why?" He asks me still not sure of the situation.
"Because it was the right thing to do, even with everything that you did." I inform him.
It took sometime to convince him to eat but he finally did we also had a conversation. And that his how things have been for the past couple of months, it took me about a month to heal him, he has scares covering the left side of his face and his left eye is blind and has scares covering most of his body but they are pretty faded but they are still pretty noticeable.
End of flashback.
Who would have thought that he man that I once called my greatest enemy would be sharing a bed with me.
"What are you thinking about?" Noatak looks at me with a curious look on his face.
"Just about how I found you on the riverbed and how we got here." I tell him while rolling over to straddle him.
He puts his hands on my waist. "Is that so." He says with a smile. I smile back and lean down and give me a kiss.
Flashback starts:
It has been two months since I found Noatak on the riverbed and I would be lying if I said in those two months that I haven't developed a crush on him. We have been spending a lot of time with each other, after the first month he asked me if I would remove his bending, I refused to do that saying that I could never do that to someone and I asked him why he would want me to remove his bending. he told me that after everything that he has done and what his father made him and Tarrlok do as children he didn't want to have his bending. After he told me all that I reluctantly agreed to remove his bending, I don't know who it was harder for him or me.
As the next month went by he seemed to be pretty happy without his bending and over the next month we got closer.
"So wait, let me get this straight," Noatak chuckles. "When you were eight you got frostbit on your toes from running outside with no shoes. Even a two year old knows that would be a bad idea." he says still laughing at me.
"Oh, shut up Noatak." I say lightly slapping his leg laughing too. I look up at him after a minute and see that his is starring at me.
"What?" I ask him, but he doesn't say anything, he just puts his hand on the side of my face and kisses me, I kiss back without hesitation, The kiss was great and I don't know how far things would have went. we were so focused on the kiss that we didn't even hear the people that came up to the entrance of the cave till I heard, "KORRA."
Noatak and I jump apart and turn to see Tenzin, Lin, Bumi, Asami, Mako, and Bolin. They all looked shocked but they were starring more at Noatak then me. Mako began to charge at Noatak after realizing who he was and everyone else realized who he was they got ready to attack.
"No, stop." I shout at them stopping Mako.
"Korra, you do realize who this man is right?" Tenzin asks me.
"Yes I know who this is, but believe me when I say that he has changed." I tell them.
"Please Avatar do you expect us to believe a man like Amon can change." Lin says.
"Everyone can change given the chance." I say but everyone just looks at me either confused or irritated. "Oh for spirits sake he can even bend." Everyone starred at me shocked. I turn to look back at Noatak as if to ask him if I could tell them everything that has happened, he nods.
So I started to tell them everything, from the day that I found him on the riverbend, to what his injuries are that he is blind in his left eye, that he can barely hear out of his left ear, that his left side of his face his scared along with most of his stomach area and his chest and part of his left leg and the back of his right leg, I also told them about me taking away his bending and the reason behind him asking me to remove his bending, I told them everything. After they all heard what I had to say, they told me that they would trust me and that it would be better for Noatak to come back to the air temple and live there. When heard that come out of Tenzin's mouth I was so shocked, but I was also happy that Noatak could have his second chance. Lin did say that she would be dong daily check-ins to keep tabs on Noatak.
End of flashback.
It has been two years since that day in the cave and right now I couldn't be happier to have Noatak next to me. There are still people that don't approve of Noatak and I, of course there are going to be people within Republic City that wouldn't approve Mako being one of those people, Mako tried to talk me out of being with Noatak and asking me if I would give him a second chance but I turned him down saying that I was happy with Noatak, but I don't care what people think I am happy and that is all that matters.
I smile rolling over so that I was straddling his waist, he puts his hands on my waist and has a small smile on his face with a bit of a confused look.
"What are you smiling about, don't get me wrong I love seeing your smile." he tells me.
"Just thinking about how happy I am with you and that I don't want to lose you." I tell with a small smile. I put my hands on his bare chest and I could feel the blush on my cheeks, after two years I still get nervous around him.
"Hey, you wont lose me I am all yours and I am not going anywhere." He tells me putting a hand on my cheek.
I lean into his hand. "I love you Noatak." I say looking into his eyes with the smile still on my face. The smile on his face grow and he leans up to kiss me.
He pulls away for a second, "I love you too, Avatar korra." Then kisses me again, I could feel him smiling into the kiss and I knew he could feel me smiling too. Spirits I love this man.
I know it took a while for me to get this one out but I have been busy with and other stuff.
Let me know what you guys think of this Amorra one shot and I am taking requests.
Hope you enjoyed.
