Prologue
"Didn't you two already do it?" Kuvira asked. Asami's hand paused, a piece of pepperoni on her pizza slowly began to slide off of the crust, hanging on by a strand of melted cheese. Korra, who was in the middle of chewing a massive bite of her own slice, froze. With her cheeks puffed out, she slowly widened her eyes, shaking her head back and forth with the smallest movement as possible.
Asami carefully placed her pizza back onto her plate, wiping her fingers free of grease on a spare napkin. She slowly moved her tongue down the inside of her cheek. Kuvira and Korra quickly exchanged a look with each other. Asami only ever did that with her tongue when she was really annoyed. Kuvira took a loud and long sip of her soda threw the straw, turning her head away as Asami looked in her direction, before turning her attention towards her fiancée, who lowered her head and took up sudden interest in the threading of the bedspread.
"Do you think this is 200 count thread?" Korra mumbled, her thumb running along the stitching. Kuvira laughed through her nose, before letting out a loud burp. She then covered her mouth as she coughed, her eyes watering, and the sting of carbonation burning her nose.
"You told her?!" Asami shouted, more confirming the fact than asking a question.
Korra lifted her head and rapidly chewed her mouthful of food. Asami watched with a raised eyebrow as her fiancé pouted, making soft whimpering noise. "I couldn't help it!" she wailed after swallowing the food. "I had to tell someone."
"Why not talk to me?"
"You were there! You knew everything that happened." Korra sighed hard before running a hand through her short brown hair. "I just couldn't keep it quiet." She smiled sheepishly, which caused Asami's eyes to narrow. She dropped her hand and slowly moved over towards Kuvira, cowering behind her. "You can't tell me that you didn't tell anyone else?"
"There was no one else for me to tell," Asami answered quietly. "Opal was too young to hear it, I definitely wasn't going to tell Bolin. He'd have that news spread around in two seconds." She snickered when Kuvira punched Korra on the thigh, before pushing her away. "I could have told Pema, but that would have been weird for you since you talk to her a lot. That left you and you were there, so I kept it to myself." She shrugged.
The three went back to eating their food, albeit it quietly. Occasionally Korra's eyes would glance at the door, as if she were planning an escape every time Asami would look in her direction. Kuvira pulled out her phone and browsed through a few apps, since she had finished her portion of the food they ordered. She picked up her drink and took a long sip, contemplating snapchatting the argument to her followers.
"So, were you in a locker room when this happened?" Asami asked. "Or is that something only guys do?" Kuvira snorted through her nose, quickly covering her face as a little bit of her soda dribbled down her chin. Asami handed her a napkin, still staring at her fiancé. Although, she wasn't upset anymore, she carried a tone of amusement that matched her smile.
"I don't understand why you are mad. You even admitted that you thought about telling someone else."
"Because you chose to tell your best friend," Asam said with a sigh. She looked in Kuvira's direction and half-smiled. "Whom, I have the misfortune of seeing all the time. Now, things will be awkward."
"You think it'll be awkward now?" Kuvira commented. She turned towards Korra, tilting her head in Asami's direction. "It is a private thing, Korra," she said with a shrug, placing her cup of soda onto a night stand.
The Avatar smirked and raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms over her chest. Kuvira rolled her eyes, her lips moving into a frown, her face taking on a bored look as she recognized Korra's "challenge" face. It was the same face she would always make right before bringing up a bet or competition, or something else worse.
"And yet, you were the one who told me that Baatar Jr's beard feels really good when he-" Kuvira silenced her by grabbing nearby pillow and flinging it at her face. Korra cried out in shock as she caught the object, leaning backward to embrace the impact. The shift in balance caused her to lean over and fall backward off the bed, wedging herself between the side of the bed and the wall. Her arms and legs were visible, sticking up in the air, as the pillow rested on her face.
Kuvira let out a roar of laughter as Korra struggled to free herself, but only made matters worse by falling sideways. Asami covered her mouth with her hand, trying to hide her giggles. She quickly pulled out her cellphone and took a few photos before switching to video.
Kuvira and Asami cried out in shock as a giant gust of wind pushed the bed away from the wall. Korra climbed up to her feet, reaching and up brushing at her air. Speckles of dust and lint fell to the ground. "They need to clean this place better," Korra commented, plopping down onto the bed. She smiled and titled her head as Asami reached out and began to pick some pieces from her hair.
"Or you could consume your food without spilling like a normal person," Kuvira said, raising an eyebrow. She didn't flinch as a piece of popcorn bounced off her forehead. Instead she popped the piece into her mouth, smirking at Korra. The snack was stale, and a piece of lint as stuck to her tongue, indicating that it had been on the floor. Kuvira wanted to spit it out, but she was too far in, so she forced herself to swallow it.
"Don't change the subject," Asami insisted, "I want to hear about you and Baatar Jr."
Kuvira could feel her cheeks reddening. She leaned back, resting her weight on her hands. "Besides, I didn't change the subject. Korra did." She blinked rapidly before letting out a loud yawn. "What time is it?" she asked.
"Almost midnight."
"Hmm." Korra smiled warmly. She reached up and pulled Asami's hand out of her hair, lacing their fingers together. She kissed the back of her fiancée's hand, before reaching out and flicking the blue pendant around Asami's neck. "…only a week left."
"That's too long, if you ask me," Asami answered, her voice
"Oh enough!" Kuvira snapped. "I can't stomach it."
"What? Love?" Korra asked. She placed an arm around Asami's shoulders, pulling her into her side. Asami wrapped an arm around Korra's waist, tucking her head underneath Korra's chin.
"No, just you." Kuvira made a face before rolling her eyes. "It was bad enough when we lived together."
"It's interesting to think how we all ended up after school. I mean, how much we all chaged after first meeting each other. I can't believe we survived it."
"Not all of us," Asami said. The three quickly got quiet, a somber air filling the room. Kuvira looked up at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting. Asami left out a long breath. Korra pulled her in tighter, before glancing out the window of their hotel room, taking in the bright lights of the city.
"Do you ever wish that you could go back?" Korra asked. "Things were much simpler then."
"I agree." Kuvira nodded. "I hated you. You couldn't stand me." She then turned her attention towards Korra and smirked. "You're were just an idiot…that was nice!"
"Shut up, Kuvira!" Korra snapped. The three shared a laugh, quickly chasing away the heavy thoughts and dark air that had once filled the room. "Hey, do you remember when we all moved in together? My first year?"
"Yeah, that was so weird."
"I never understood why they put us together," Asami added. "I mean, I'm not complaining now, but back then it didn't make sense."
"Tenzin said something about running out of available space," Korra sighed. "Please, if anything he was just trying to make sure I had two people who'd attempt to keep me in line." She paused, a look of confusion washing over her face. She then clicked her tongue before reaching up and clapping a hand to her forehead. "Actually, that does sound like something he'd do."
"They keyword in there was attempt. No one can keep you in line
"Remember that!" Korra smiled proudly. "I'm a force of nature!"
"More like a freak of nature," Kuvira snickered. "Who else but the Avatar, master of the elements and break of all rules, moves in with a polar-bear dog puppy?"
Asami sat up, accidentally hitting her head on the underside of Korra's chin, who cried out I pain as she bit her tongue. "We had what?" Asami asked, her eyes widened in shock. She completely ignored Korra's whimpers as she stuck out her tongue, trying to inspect it for damage.
"You didn't know?" Kuvira asked. "Then you're in for a surprise."
