The First Time Korra Tried Meditating on Her Own
The worst thing in the world for Korra is that being at home - Home she thinks, because all up until yesterday she was absolutely certain that Republic City was that home she's never really had, and now she knows that no, no the only home that's ever been a home disappeared when she was four, and the only thing she can call home now is the hill where the otter-penguins slide and where Naga and she can lay in the snow and pretend that she's got friends who aren't animals or her previous lives or Howl, who is more like an older brother and less like a friend.
"Come back here before noon or they'll know I let you go again!"
The worst thing is that being at home isn't possible anymore.
And yes, she can go to Bolin and maybe throw a few rocks at him and let out her frustration, but Bolin is crazy about his brother and would go to him about advice, which would mean that Mako would know something was bothering Korra - someone, and his Mako is crazy about only two people - Bolin
And Asami.
Korra watches a fish swim past the bubble she's locked herself in - Naga is resting on the lake floor next to her, sticking her paw out into the water that surrounds them, and catches the fish. Korra smiles a little because it's almost like she's back in the Southern Water tribe again. She knows Tenzin is probably frantically searching for her - she's been at the bottom of this lake for almost five hours - but she can't bring herself to resurface. Honestly she is, for the first time in her young life, afraid of all the responsibilities thrust upon her. It never seemed this hard in the Southern Water Tribe. She didn't have to worry about someone who could take away her livelihood - her existence, because Korra knows. Korra knows that is she is not the avatar, she is not anything to anyone, because she doesn't have that kind of support system in her life that will love her even if she is not the avatar, and she honestly doesn't know her parents well enough to cry to them should it happen. In this world, it is just her. Her and Naga. And then, she wasn't being forced into political problems or democracy or anything like that, things she doesn't even know that well, and she most certainly wasn't falling in love with boys who are head-over-heals in love with other people (prettier people with beautifully bright eyes and a boat load of cash.)
Naga barks once and briefly Korra loses the concentration keeping the water from collapsing, a hole splashes water on Naga before she can get it sealed again, but Korra misses the annoyed look her friend sends her as she looks into the clear lake water. A foot above her Pabu is swimming away from the bubble.
"Was that. . .?" She mutters, shooting Naga a look, but the polar-bear dog has gone to ignoring her for the moment.
Korra doesn't really expect anyone to come down after the fire ferret has left, but she definitely doesn't expect Asami to puncture through the bubble and take in a huge amount of oxygen, the CO2 floats out the top of it.
Korra is immediately jealous of the intimacy with which Asami has invaded the Bending Brother's lives to the extent that Pabu even works with her. And really, who does she think she is coming down here?
"Korra!" Asami gasps, hugging the avatar. Korra blinks. "We were all so worried." Asami states at Korra's puzzled look.
"I left Tenzin a note." Korra states bitterly, "did he come to Bolin asking where I was?" Asami nods.
"Yeah, he came to the attic a couple of hours ago, we've been looking for you since."
"We. . ." Korra mutters, as if she doesn't quite believe 'we' is the appropriate word. "No one needs to look for me." She settles. "I can take care of myself!" She gets on Naga then, and shifts the bubble around them leaving Asami to inhale lake water when Korra - the bubble with her - take off in the opposite direction, she can't tell for sure if it's the lake water or tears, but there's water droplets on Korra's face the second before Asami is forced back into the surrounding lake. She doesn't have time to think about it when she push off back to the surface.
"Did you find her?" Mako yells from the shore, before both Tenzin and Bolin can even open their mouth, and he's halfway in the water before Asami can find footing again. Pabu is around his shoulders, drenched in water himself.
"Yeah," Asami states, wring out her hair, she's hoping Mako will notice the action, but he's more focused on the surface of the lake.
"Good idea Mako; to check underwater!" Bolin grins from behind them.
"Well, where is she?" Mako asks, the surface is still.
"She. . . didn't really want to talk to me." Asami states. Mako's eyes never leave the lake surface.
This one's a bit more angsty, but I had so many feelings I had to write something (poorly D:) So there; Asami, I don't hate you, but you're too perfect and you're messing with my OTP; BOLIN WOULD LOVE YOU. D: D:
Anyways, I always thought it was cool that Aang could go underwater with airbending, so why shouldn't a waterbender be able to do that also?
As a side note; I guess y'all didn't like the last chapter very much, so I hope you like this one a little more? ^^;
