I'm not dead, I promise! I'm terribly sorry I haven't been able to update for a while. Stress is one thing that can break us, and I believe it broke me for a long while the past few weeks, so I wasn't really motivated to even LOOK at my laptop. Yeah, sad time. But I'm okay now! Don't worry, I'll be updating a lot more now! I hope you like it! And help me thank LovellyScully, who helped me pull out some amazing ideas! You're the best person ever!
Disclaimer: I do not own these three things, though I wish I did: Legend of Korra, Mortal Kombat, or slightly mentioned Assassin's Creed.
Also, I'm a little sorry for the Mako bashing that's about to come. I enjoy him as a character, but not with Korra OR Asami.
"Got the Mountain Dew?" "Yup." "What about the microwave popcorn?" "That's a go, captain." "And the batteries?" "Yuppadoo." "And what about?-" "Korra!" Asami laughs and plops onto Korra's couch as if it were her own home. "It's just a gaming marathon. Not a gala." She laughs as Korra bends down to put her game in the machine. "I know, but hey- this is my first time ever having a gaming marathon with someone other than Bolin." She shrugs and Asami raising a brow in disbelief. "Wait, you haven't ever had a gaming marathon with another girl?" She asks, and Korra shakes her head. "Nope. Actually-…" Korra looks away and Asami now tilts her head adorably. "- I've never actually had a 'girl-friend'." She uses her fingers as air quotes. Asami, now staring in surprise, nearly drops her Mountain Dew. "Serious! You're kidding!" She asks and grins, "It's hard to believe since you seem so friendly to the ones at school…" Korra then laughs loudly, "Oh no! I mean, I've had plenty of girlfriends and boyfriends, but not the actual friend-that's a girl- type of friend. You know? I get along better with boys than girls for some reason. Except for you…." Korra taps her chin as if it's still an unsolved mystery. Yes, why in fact was Asami the only girl Korra has ever truly felt comfortable with? Is it because she's sweet? A down to earth girl that Korra can relate to? Is it because she likes almost exactly the same things she likes? "Alright, well, enough of that. Let's game?" Asami shifts into a comfortable position on the couch, and Korra smiles wide. "Let's do this!"
"FUCK!" Korra throws her controller across the room and Asami just laughs joyously. "Oh come on, don't be such a sore loser!" She laughs as Korra pouts. "I'm not being a sore loser. Just a loser…" she sinks down further into the couch and Asami just laughs again. "Just because I beat you as the easiest character on Mortal Kombat, doesn't mean you can be all pouty about it. Does Korra need a hug?" And before Korra even knows what's happening, Asami attacks her and straight away wraps her arms around her torso. "Ah-! A-Asami!" Korra tries to pull her away, but it strangely feels good to actually be hugged for once WITHOUT it being intimate. She shifts awkwardly, and Asami doesn't pull away yet. She feels a little odd that Asami has been holding onto a hug for this long until she hears: "I'm not letting go until you hug back." With a slight blush and a deafening sigh, Korra wraps her arms awkwardly around Asami, strangely feeling like she could hold onto her for forever. "There, feel better?" Asami pulls away just as fast as Korra could count and with a face red, Korra looks away. "I guess."
"Wait, do I do this?" Korra asks as she maneuvers her character on the screen. "No no, you- ahaha, Korra no! What are you doing?" Asami clutches her stomach as she laughs at Korra, who accidentally jumps off a building and kills herself. "WHAT! NO, I clearly pressed A with that! Why'd he do that?!" Korra jumps on her feet and Asami catches her wrist. "Hey, calm down there, haha. Don't worry, you'll restart on the ground and everything will already be saved so you won't have to do it again. Trust me, okay?" And for some reason, Korra thinks she never didn't trust Asami. It just came naturally to automatically trust the raven-haired girl before her. "Good." Korra sits back down.
It's deep in the early hours of the morning, and both girls are struggling to keep awake. "I'm seriously going to throw up at how much Mountain Dew I drank." Asami says in almost a whisper as they both lay sprawled out on the couch. "I know. I've never eaten so much microwave popcorn either. Usually I love that shit." Asami manages a chuckle at Korra's response, and Korra answers with a chuckle of her own. "I think I'm going to pass out soon. Ready for sleep?" Korra asks after a long pause, and Asami nods in the dark. "Yeah, I think I am." Yet both girls don't move from where they are. Korra's quite comfortable tangled in Asami's legs and Asami is the same way around. They lay in mirrored together; both of their legs on top of the others and both heads against the arms rests of the couch. "Hey Asami?" Korra slurs. "Yeah Korra?" Asami answers with a husky voice laced with sleep. "Thanks for being my friend. It was fun, what we did tonight." Asami smiles to herself. "Of course. Remind me to do it again." And with that, both girls sink into slumber.
It's daylight by the time Asami slides her eyes open, and the sunlight pierces her sleep-deprived eyes. She shifts her gaze to Korra, and can't help but blush. Korra lays with her mouth open and her hair in spools down her shoulders. Asami didn't even notice she had taken it out of her usual ponytail, but she definitely will remember what it looks like without it. Suddenly Korra makes a noise and Asami flies back down to pretend she's asleep. Panic raises within her. What if Korra caught her staring? Would she be grossed out? Would she ask her to leave? "'Sami. 'Sami, wake up." She can hear Korra mumbles and feels her shift upwards. Asami pretends she just woke up and yawns to a stretch. "Good morning." She says, and stops when Korra is staring right at her. "Uh, is there something wrong?" Asami asks slowly, and watches as Korra shakes her head fast, "Ah, no. Nope. Nothing wrong. I- I just well, you have that cute morning face, you know?" Korra chuckles softly as if it were a normal joke. But Asami instantly blushes and, trying to hide it, throws her pillow at Korra. "Weirdo!" she says and Korra now laughs and blows hair out of her face. "Come on, it was a joke!...you do look cute though." She mumbles the last part as she watches Asami walk away from her.
"Wait, you like her?" Asami knocks her locker closed and turns to her friend Mako, who leans against the red lockers with his signature red scarf that every girl seems to adore. "Yeah. I mean, I do have a crush on her. But I don't want to be just another one of those girls, you know?" She states with a sigh, watching as Korra walks along the halls, waving and smiling at everyone passing by that she knows or knows her. Her smile is bright and cheery, and Asami feels it's contagious because she starts to smile. "Asami. Are you ever going to tell her how you feel?" Mako asks and lures Asami's focus back to him. "I don't know…. I mean, I don't even think she likes me back. I doubt I have a chance with her.." Her eyes slide to the ground in defeat, and Mako puts a hand on her shoulder. "It's not the end of the world. Come on, we've gotta get to class. Maybe you should just give up on her….." He says as they walk, "There are plenty of other fish in the sea. And you're amazing Asami, I doubt many fish will pass you up." Asami sighs again, "I guess you're right. We'll just stick as friends then." Mako nods, "Alright."
"Asami!" Asami hears her name being called from across the hall. School had just ended and Asami was going to meet Korra to drive to her house to tutor again. "Bolin?" She's finally able to make out his panting figure as he jogs to her. "Korra- my brother- he- asked- she- yes-" Bolin stutters breathlessly and Asami shakes her head, "Bolin I can't understand you. What?" His green eyes widen, "Mako asked Korra out. And she said yes!"
