Maybe
Pairing: One-sided Korrasami, Implied Makorra
Rated: T
Warning: AU, Kinda angsty, Unrequited love
Prompt: [maybe]
It was always a maybe.
Every touch, every smile, every glance.
Always a maybe.
She wondered what would happen if she gripped that hand just a little tighter. If she curled her lips a little higher. If she stared into those beautiful ice blue eyes a little deeper.
Would anything change? She wanted to know.
But then she'd see how her forever girl would look at that boy from a distance and whisper excitedly to her, and how her cheeks would flush the barest of red whenever he walked up to smile and said,
"Morning, Korra."
And she'd murmur back a shy, "Hey Mako," before reaching out to squeeze Asami's hand in happiness and pushing a strand of brown hair behind her ear.
All Asami could do was clench her hands until her knuckles turned white, push back her screams into her throat, and smile pleasantly.
"I'll leave you two love birds alone." She'd leave swiftly, ignoring their spluttering and stuttered denials and feel the tears building up in her eyes again as she feels her heart break a little more again.
Maybe one day she'd realise that 'maybe' would turn into a 'never'.
Just maybe.
