A/N: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews and favorites. Chapter is up for your enjoyment. I really do have to warn you all this story might have a slow progress between characters. I wanted to build the characters relationship in the story. Just a little heads up.

Chapter 3

"Thanks for driving me back Mako," Asami went out the car as soon as it pulled up the dormitory's driveway. She didn't want him to act so gentlemanly and open the door for her. But, Mako still went out of the car and walked her to the building's entrance. She just sighed internally.

"It's no problem Asami, besides your dad clearly said to see to it you get back safely."

"Yeah, thanks again," she said giving a small smile to thank him, even though she's very aware of Mako's feelings for her, Mako still her friend. "I should get going, my roommate is probably asleep and I don't want to disturb her." She noticed that Mako is leaning towards her, and gave her an awkward kiss on her cheeks mumbling a good night.

Asami walked up the stairs to her room's floor. She was thinking about her roommate. She had visited her parents just as she had promised to her mother. Tomorrow will be the start of a new semester and she never really got to talk with Korra so when her parents asked her about her new roommate, all she was able to tell them is her name and that she was from the Southern Water Tribe. Honestly she wanted to get to know her roommate; there is just something about Korra that's making her to want to get to know the girl. Maybe because of her somewhat reserved attitude around her, but she thinks maybe Korra is just shy since she mentioned that this will be the first time she will be attending a formal school and that she had been taught by different teachers back in the South.

She took out her keys and quietly opened the door so as not to disturb Korra just in case she was already asleep. Asami wished though that her roommate would still be awake and maybe they could talk a little bit. Lo and behold, Korra was just about to climb up the stairs to her bed when she entered.

Korra was reading a letter by the room's window. Her father had sent a letter wishing her a good luck with school and to be careful and mindful of herself while she is still in training. She was about to head to bed when she noticed the satomobile pull up by the building's entrance. Korra recognized the car as the one that picked up Asami yesterday. Her roommate was nice enough to let her know she will be away to visit her family.

Korra noticed the guy that went out of the driver side. She noticed him kissing Asami on her cheeks and left. It was not her place to judge her roommate but she assumed the guy might be Asami's boyfriend. Again for the second time that week she felt something, a feeling she can't put into words. It's funny really since she hasn't even had a decent talk with her roommate. For the past few days, she had been busy training with Tenzin on Air Temple Island that proper introductions haven't even been made between them.

She wanted to get to know Asami. She'd never really had any kids her age around her back in the Southern Water Tribe, not to mention a girl like Asami. All she ever had close to a best friend is her polarbear dog. It would be nice to be friends with her roommate. She's always wanted a friend since she only got to know those White Lotus sentries that guarded her. It was part of the reason why she wanted to formally attend a school.

When Korra met Asami for the first time and saved her from getting a concussion, she thought that the girl was really beautiful. She felt a small blush on her cheeks when she remembered their awkward positions at the time. The image of Asami's flawless skin burned on her mind's eye and she can't get it out of her mind.

Korra was about to climb the stairs to her bed when Asami entered. She looked to the person that entered and greeted her, "Hi." She wanted to say more but she felt that maybe Asami didn't want to talk to her, so she started to climb again only to be stopped by Asami's voice.

"Hey, I thought you were already asleep." Asami greeted Korra back as she was about to climb her bed. Korra stopped midway and looked at her and said, "Uh, no, I was just actually about to go sleep. I didn't think you'd come up the room so fast," Asami noticed Korra hesitating with her next words "I just saw your boyfriend drop you off and I thought maybe you were still gonna talk." Asami raised her eyebrow in a questioning way. Korra suddenly started flailing her arms and stuttering, "I..I didn't mean to pry. I..I just s-saw your boyfriend's satomobile drop you off and I was just sitting by the window looking at Yue bay and..and..and..Please don't be mad."

Asami just laughed at Korra's antics, she wasn't mad at all with her misunderstanding. Korra was now looking at her with flushed cheeks. "Sorry for laughing Korra," she was still giggling "I'm not mad you saw what happened outside. To be honest, he's not really my boyfriend. He's just my childhood friend who happens to drive me to and from my parents place." At that, Korra just nods.

"Oh. Well, okay." Asami noticed that Korra looked like she still wanted to say something. She opened her mouth and just closed it. An awkward silence enveloped the whole room with the two of them contemplating on how to proceed with their conversation. Asami wanted to still talk with Korra seeing as this might be a good time as they already started with a conversation.

Korra was too embarrassed to look at Asami. She mentally slapped herself for blabbering. She wanted to talk more with her roommate but she didn't know what to talk about. She was about to ask her about her family visit, but decided against it thinking she didn't want to impose on her. But seeing as this might be a good start to finally get to know Asami, she decided to still say something.

"How was your visit to your family?"

"How was your weekend Korra?"

Korra and Asami looked at each other. They had both talked at the same time. Asami let out a small giggle and Korra just scratched the back of her neck. "I guess we both have something to say. You go first Asami," she said to the other girl.

"Oh, okay. Well, how was your weekend? You didn't just stay in this room the two days before classes began, did you?" Asami asked, her face showed a disbelieving look. She noticed that Asami was starting to take off her jacket and tank top. Korra's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she noticed, and Asami just sauntered to her closet still wearing her pants but half naked from the waist up. Korra looked away instantly and replied trying to make her voice sound less ragged and cleared her throat, "Y-yeah, I wanted to rest before the semester starts, but I did took a stroll around campus yesterday when you left and I even had the chance to look around uptown of Republic City."

"That's great. I thought you might have stayed in here all day since you're still pretty new to Republic City, but I should have known better. With you always gone so early in the morning these past few days, I doubt you really don't know anybody around."

"I was actually visiting my guardian living on Air Temple Island, he's asked me to babysit his children that's why I'm always away." It was actually a lie Tenzin had her say to Asami just in case she did ask where she has been all those days she was gone. Asami was in the bathroom to change but she can hear her still talking to her. "Air Temple Island. Wait, you know councilman Tenzin?" Asami opened the bathroom door to look at Korra.

"Yeah, he's actually my guardian for the time being." She gave her a small smile. It was half the truth this time. Asami closed the bathroom door again to finish changing. She considered on asking Asami while in the bathroom but she just waited until the girl finishes changing.

Asami was surprised at what Korra has told her. She didn't think she has a connection to an important person such as Tenzin, the youngest son of the late Avatar Aang. It had been seventeen years since the passing of the last Avatar, but the current one hasn't been revealed to the public.

She went out of the bathroom and saw Korra now sitting on the stairs. She liked their little talk and she wanted it to still continue. She looked at Korra as she heard her clear her throat. "So, how was your visit to your parents?" She smiled; this might really be the time they will get to know each other.

"It was great. My mom and dad actually asked about you, but I didn't know what to tell them since we barely talked the past few days," she said while settling on the bean bag right across from Korra. And just like that, they talked and asked each other questions of just about anything

She noticed that Korra get's flustered and embarrassed easily. She also noticed Korra's particular toned muscles. It just fascinate her just how much Korra is lean and muscular and yet still look beautiful even with just her pajamas. They talked and laugh until it was late enough they had to sleep least they'll be late for the first day of classes.
