~Hey there everyone! This is my first go at a korrasami fanfic, and I truly hope you all are enjoying it. After absolutely thriving off of the positive reviews and feedback, it's given me that added 'oomph' to finish this story out. So, enough jibber-jabber, here you go. Enjoy!~

Asami glanced at the young woman's hand that that clutched hers. Every fiber and every surface of contact seem to electrify the area of that touch. The startled woman's brows flew upward in response as a blush made it's way towards her cheeks. Trailing her eyes from the calloused hand up the avatar's muscled forearm, past her stern jawline, she met blue pools exuding a silent plea that Asami's heart simply deny. With a huff of surrender she settled back down to her original seating, blush and embarrassed disposition in tow. 'Ugh! Asami, how could you be so bold?! You're just making things more difficult for Korra' she silently scolded in light of this sudden turn of events.

Resting her attention back onto the frazzled Avatar, she internally giggled at the struggling woman's consternation as she battled to search for the right words to say. Her body refused to allow the secret language of her thoughts slip out, she musn't trouble the Avatar with further confusion, so she maintained a tight upper lip and an unreadable expression. Seeing Korra mature so much since those three years of absence have awakened a longing and attraction deep within Asami that constantly hung at the precipice between her fantasies and reality. Feelings that Asami thought she had in check. The engineer mentally chided herself once more.

"Umm...Asami," Korra began unsteadily, quickly removing her hand from Asami's as if it were an artifact restricted from the touch of one so 'unworthy'. Her eyes were shifting from Asami's dead-pan face to her shoes in such rapid nervous motion that one might think she had a rare twitching disorder behind her orbital muscles. "I've never been one with words, nor feelings for that matter, but.." she paused unsure of herself, she shut her eyes again in frustration and ultimate surrender towards her fight of omittance. "Asami, at the start, when you first showed up, I think it was pretty obivious that I didn't like you that much.." Asami's brows furrowed at the comment, but allowed the Avatar a chance to fully express herself.

Realizing her folly, Korra pushed on hoping to plow through her poor choice of words, "But now everything is DIFFERENT! By and by you always seem to know the proper words to say, the right kind of hugs to give, and a smile some soft and caring that it makes my insides want to gush. I know it may seem strange," She paused for a moment to chuckle to herself, "hehe its still strange to me too, but Swhenever I'm with you, the burden of being the Avatar seems to evaporate in your presence. Culture, tradition, the traumas that haunt me in my waking moments..all at once they suddenly lose its power." At this point, Korra bravely rested her hand on top of her beloved's as she gathered her last bits of courage. "Asami, I think…no…I know that I love you."

After letting out her last line's syllable she stared intent daggers into Asami's flabbergasted expression that rippled visibly breaking the unreadable expression she thought she could maintain. The yearning Avatar maintained her stare to prove the assertion of her words and the truth behind their confession.

It seemed as if time suddenly stood still. Asami was taken aback by Korra's newly found bravery. All this time…all this patience…finally. Tears welled in her mascara laden eyes. Unwilling to hold them back any longer, she let them cascade down her pale cheeks as a bright smile illuminated her beautiful face.

"Oh Korra," She gasped flinging herself forward to wrap the her avatar warmly in her embrace. Nestled within the crook of her beloved's neck and shoulder she replied, "You dork, you've made me wait long enough to hear those words."

~Sorry if it seems a bit rushed and over dramatic, I just felt the demanding need to finish this thought it is about 3:30 in the morning and sleep serenading me desperately so I did not get to edit and revise as well as I did the last chapter. Nonetheless, I HAD to give this piece closure before I get too busy. However, tell me your thoughts in reviews they are ALWAYS greatly appreciated. And finally, I will be back with more Korrasami because without the shadow of a doubt, this ship is truly and wholeheartedly my Forever OTP so be on the look out for some further works of mine in the near future, but for now, I bid you all adieu. I hope you enjoyed!~
