For the last few minutes Asami had been trying to work on her dads newest engine. She would have gotton more work done but her friend Opal kept calling her every two minutes. Knowing she wouldn't stop untill she picked up she moved from under the car and answered.

"Alright Opal what do you want?"

"Oh I just wanted to call and chat. You know like how you and Korra call each other fifteen times a day." Already Asami knew Opal was up to something. She could hear the excitement in her tone which was never good.

"And just what do you mean by that?"

"Just that you two have got to be the cutest couple out there. Honestly most of the girls in school are jelous of how loyal you two are and most of the guys are devesated you two are off the market."

"Wait what? Korra and I aren't dating."

"Sure you two aren't. Listen Asami it's fine if you two want to keep your not so secret relationship under wraps, but at this point the entire school knows about it." Asami didn't know if she heard her right. "What do you mean the entire school knows? And what do you mean relationship?"

"Like I said the entire school knows the two of you are dating. Honestly I don't know how you haven't noticed the fan club."

"Fan club?"

"Yeah it's a bunch of love crazy girls who write stories and make comics about the two of you. Anyway I was just calling to see if you and Korra were willing to go on a double date with me and Bolin tomorrow at eight."

Asami's head was spinning as she tried to process everything Opal had said. In just a few minutes not only had she learned that the entire school thought she was dating her best friend but also had a fan club devoted to it. "Double date? Wait Opal like I said Korra and I aren't" "Sorry Asami but I got to go. I'll see you two at Ging's noodle shop at eight"

The phone call ended and Asami felt like strangling Opal. "Wonderful, how in the world am I going to tell Korra about this. Oh hey Korra did you know that the entire school believes were dating? oh and by the way we have a double date tomorrow." she knew there was no way out of it. When Opal set something up there was no way out of it. She sighed and collapsed into one of the chairs in the workshop.

"Korra and I dating." she said thinking about it. She realized that she deeply cared for her but was there more to it? They've known each other since they were kids and spent nearly every day together to the point where they both felt at home in the other's house. Although thinking back there have been a few moments where their friendship might have been seen as something more.

"Like the time that jerk Tahno tried to ask me out and Korra punched him in the face for being a creep. Not to mention the time the time I broke my arm and she carried me to the hospital and wouldn't leave my side until I got released." The more she remembered the more it seemed like she really was dating Korra. They went to the movies together, they often ate at restaurants together. And on two separate occasions they've kissed. Well one of those was nothing more then a slumber party dare when they were thirteen. "I might as well talk to her about this." she grabbed her bag and hopped on her moped and sped through the city to Korra's house. She knocked on the door but was surprised when her mother answered the door instead.

"Hello Asami."

"Hey Senna is Korra home I kind of need to talk to her about something." Asami saw a small smile form on her face. "I'm sorry dear but Korra and her father had some business to take care of with my sister Kya. But she should be back tonight." she was a bit disappointed but understood.

"Alright well thanks anyway Senna." as she started to leave Senna called out to her. " Oh and Asami remember when you can't think of anything to say always trust your heart." before she could ask what she meant she had ducked back inside so not knowing what else to do Asami decided to head home so that she could think about all this.

Once home she retreated to her room so she could distract herself for a while.

"Might as well work on some sketches. That always focuses my mind." but upon opening her sketchbook she saw a major problem. Every single page featured Korra. "Of course, I try to get my mind of Korra and grab the one thing in my room that has her on every page." she flipped through her book trying to find something that she could work with that didn't involve Korra.

"Lets see Korra in bikini, Korra in dress, Korra in biker gear. Come on there's got to be something that doesn't feature Korra looking cute in my clothes... wait what did I just say?" she looked back at her sketches and saw that in every sketch Korra looked extremely cute which of course made her remember exactly when Korra had posed for her. How she'd removed her clothes showing off her toned muscular body as Asami drew her. Snapping out of her thoughts she furiously flipped through the book until she came to one of the end pages where she found a incomplete sketch of a blue sleeveless evening gown. "Perfect now just to draw in the details." she started working adding changes to the gown and adding in color. It took her nearly an hour before the dress itself was near completed and she started drawing the figure alongside it. "Lets see a dress like this needs someone with an attractive body along with long hair, maybe give their limbs some toned muscles, darken the skin to show off the light blue of the gown as well as give them a slight smirk to add some more appeal." when she was sure she'd gotten everything just right she set it down and felt a prideful grin form on her face as she looked at her masterpiece. Then she took two seconds to really look at what she'd drawn. "Wait a minute, dark skin, toned body with long dark hair and a slight smirk." she looked down and saw that she had perfectly recreated Korra.

"Come on Asami you need to get to the bottom of this or else you'll go insane." she started to put her sketchbook aside when she noticed a second one lying under a thin layer of dust. Letting her curiosity get the better of her she reached over and pulled it free and began flipping through. Most of the pages were blank but one had a sketch of a device that she remembered personally building.

"Korra's wheelchair." she ran her fingers over the sketch letting the memories of the nights she spent working on ever inch of it fill her mind. She remembered when she first got the call that Korra had been in a car accident. She'd rushed to the hospital and waited for twelve hours for her to get out of surgery. She all but had a breakdown when she finally saw her. Her entire body was covered in bandages and she was hooked up to two different machines. From what the doctors told her of the accident she learned that a good amount of shrapnel had lodged itself into Korra's body and although they had removed what they could find they weren't sure if she would ever regain the use of her legs again.

Not wanting her friend to be trapped in a bed she'd gotten to work on the chair as soon as she could. The days and weeks that followed were some of the toughest on both of them. Korra had been withdrawn and snappish but after a very long and very vocal night she started to open up again. She'd been with Korra though every step of her recovery and had spent the majority of her nights sleeping next to her to calm her down when she had a nightmare. Eventually she'd regained her positivity and started getting the feeling back into her legs, after about two years of physical therapy she was back to her old self although she still had the occasional nightmare and would call her and talk until she felt better. If it was really bad she'd come over and they'd spend the night in the same bed. She set down the book and looked at the clock. "Korra will be here soon." as soon as she said that she heard the door downstairs open followed by the rushing of feet. Moments later her door swung open as Korra strode in and slumped down on her bed.

"Long day I take it?"

"You could say that. My aunt Kya needed help with her garden. Apparently her wife was far to busy working so my dad and I were forced to help dig holes and plant trees and flowers all day. And all she offered us as a reward was a glass of lemonade." she couldn't help but laugh. Korra wasn't the lazy type but she was prone to whine when she was forced to do something for nothing.

"Well it's all over now so you can relax on my bed while I go get us some cold drinks." as she started toward the door Korra lunged forward and wrapped her arms around her waist. "You're too good to me Asami." she felt her cheeks burn as Korra let go.

As she walked downstairs her mind was spinning. She'd never felt like that when Korra hugged her before. Once in the kitchen she found to her surprise two cold drinks waiting for her.

"I thought you'd be down for something so I went ahead and fixed you girls a drink."

"Thanks mom"

"Wait Asami your cheeks are flushed. Are you okay?" she thought for a moment about it. Her mom always gave her sound advice in the past and she could really use some right now.

"Yeah but let me ask you something mom, what do you think of Korra?" she asked more for herself then anything.

"Well that's easy. Korra is a wonderful girl and I'm proud you found someone who makes you happy. Why do you ask? Are you two going through a bit of a bump in your relationship?" she stared to respond but her mom continued on. "All relationships have ups and downs but that's what makes them worthwhile." she grabbed the drinks and left the room more confused then before.

"Okay Asami so even your mom thinks your dating Korra that's fine. Now I just need to do is go in there and talk with her directly." But after a moment of thinking she realized how difficult that would be. Korra was many things but she was rather clueless about sensitive issues. She took a deep breath and walked inside and set the drinks down on her table. Korra snatched hers and started drinking like a madwomen.

"Hey Korra do you think we could talk for a minute?"

"Yeah sure."

"Well... I... Opal called me today and wanted to ask me or rather us something" at the mention of her cousin Korra grew nervous remembering her own interaction with her.

"And what did she want?"

"Well she wanted us to meet her and Bolin at Ging's noodles tomorrow at eight."

"That's it? That doesn't sound so bad"

"... For a double date." Both girls went silent as they thought about what to say. "So we'd be on a date?" Korra asked her cheeks growing hotter. Not knowing how to respond Asami nodded. Both girls were embarrassed but at the same time they both wanted answers.

"Well why not. I mean it could be fun."

"Korra are you asking me out on a date?"

"Well only if you want it to be. We could go as friends or..." she mumbled the last part and from how red her cheeks were Asami knew she wasn't about to repeat it.

"Okay it's a date then." Korra smiled and it was during that smile that Asami realized that she loved seeing her smile. It made her heart fill with warmth. It was also then when she realized that she had feelings for Korra.
