Author's Note: Hey guys, it's Lia, and welcome to the next chapter. I love all the reviews I've gotten so far. I would like to give a shoutout to riptidefirebends, for knowing who Seether is. One of my favourite bands. And to .Babybear, I'm sorry, like I said, I don't trust translators. The only German word I know is jaeger (even though I know it's spelled jäger) because of Attack On Titan. Any of y'all watch it? It's my favourite show, other than Supernatural. And it's sad, since I'm German. :/ Shout out to my friend who reviewed as Mikasa. And a guest said she/he was confused about Asami and Korra's relationship. It will be explained in this chapter, and at the bottom author's note if you would like a more detailed explanation. Anyway, let's move right along with this chapter. This is going to be all about the banquet. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Don't own Legend of Korra (why do I keep reminding myself of that horrible truth every time?)
"What's on your neck?"
Korra looked down at the necklace she had on. She always wore it.
"Its the Wings of Freedom symbol from one of my favourite anime shows."
"You can't wear that to the banquet," Asami told her.
"I have to," Korra fussed. "It's the only way I keep myself together every day."
"Why does it - nevermind. Just hide it, okay?" Asami reasoned. She turned back to the mirror and fixed up her mascara. (Links for their outfits will be in my profile.) Korra sighed and fiddled with the necklace. It told her everyday to be strong and get through her problems, because Eren Jaeger and everyone else has it worse. She sighed and placed it under her dress.
Asami decided to drive them to the banquet. Korra was excited.
"So what kinda food do they serve?"
"Fancy food, I really don't know. I usually don't order and get In-N-Out afterwards." (I don't own In-N-Out or Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) Korra chuckled. She turned on the radio to the 'Rock' channel, since it was the first one Asami had programmed. Korra heard the familiar intro and smiled. (I'M SORRY IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ LYRICS GO AHEAD AND SCROLL DOWN OKAY!)
I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore.
She loved Amy Lee's part the best. She didn't know why, but she did.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
She turned to Asami, who was also singing along.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Asami gave her a smile turned left.
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
Asami laughed a bit before speaking.
"You're really good, but not better than Amy Lee," Korra laughed.
"Wow!" Korra gasped, taking in the banquet hall. She and Asami linked arms and walked up to the nearest waiter.
"Excuse me," Asami whispered. "Where's the Mclaren table?" The man gave her a weird look before pointing right. (I HAVE CHANDELIER BY SIA STUCK IN MY HEAD AND I WANNA SCREAM 'I'M GONNA SWINGGGG FROM THE CHANDELIERRRRR' OUT LOUD. I don't own that song, and continuing.) Asami and walked over there.
Mako turned to see them, and his jaw dropped open. Korra's dress showed off enough cleavage to make Mako stare for more than he needed to. (Guys at my school do this to me. It's annoying.) It was okay, because Bolin was staring at Asami like she was a priceless diamond.
Korra sat next to Mako and gave him a sweet smile. Akari frowned at this. Wasn't Mako taken?
"Asami, dear," Akari said. "Wouldn't you like to sit next to Mako?" Asami stopped her conversation with Bolin to answer her.
"No, he looks happier with Korra." Asami replied, shooting Korra a wink. Korra shot her a glare and had a sudden interest in her shoes. (I hate when people do this, but I'm putting it anyway.) Akari was still confused.
They (Mako, Korra, Bolin, Asami, Akari, and Mako's dad Osamu) waited for about 10 minutes until Sato Incorporated came. This was the company run by Asami's dad Hiroshi and her mom Chie.
"Miss Ambrose?" Korra shot her head up from her phone, turning her attention to Hiroshi.
"Yes?"
"Where are your parents?" Korra paled.
"They're um...dead. They've been dead for a while now."
"Oh my god, Korra. I'm sorry," Mako told her, rubbing her back with his hand. Hiroshi shot him a weird look.
"I'm sorry Korra, and Mako, shouldn't you be sitting with Asami?" Mako looked at Asami. She widened her eyes and shifted them in her parents direction. He nodded.
"Um, Dad, about that…" Asami began.
"Yes?" Asami bit her bottom lip. "And stop chewing on yourself, girl."
"Me and Mako are...broken up," She watched her father's eyes go from curious to furious. (Ok, now I want money.)
"What?!" His screaming caught the attention of some costumers.
"We have been for a while now. We only act like a couple in public." Hiroshi breathed in an out slowly.
"Why haven't you told me this?"
"Because I knew you would act like this! Dad -"
"Don't raise your tone with me! What's wrong with Mako?!"
"Hiroshi, why don't we talk about this at -" Chie tried to calm her fuming husband.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH MAKO?!" Hiroshi yelled again.
"I DON'T LOVE HIM, OKAY? I DON'T LOVE HIM, AND I NEVER DID!" Asami stood up to yell this and she had tears brimming her eyes. Korra got up and walked over to her. Hiroshi glared at her.
"Out of the house," Hiroshi plainly said.
"What?" Asami asked.
"You. Out of the house. Find a new place to live." He got up, and his napkin fell from his lap onto the floor. He grabbed his coat and began to leave. Chie hurriedly ran after him.
"Dad?" Asami watched him walk away. "Dad! Dad-" The slamming of the door was heard throughout the restaurant.
Tears streamed down Asami's face as she placed her face in Korra's shoulder.
"It's okay Asami, you can stay with me," Korra offered. "I have an extra bedroom."
"No," Asami said, lifting her head up and sniffling. "I can't ask that of you." Korra smiled at her.
"It's the least I could do. You've been nothing but a friend to me, and I've never had one of those," Asami smiled at her through her tears.
"Thank you," she whispered. "I'm sorry I was so mean to you at first, Kor."
"It's okay," Korra replied. It really was. It didn't make her mad at all.
"I only acted like that because my dad told me to be mean to every girl I saw when I was in public so I gave off the illusion I was jealous." Asami explained, sniffling.
"It's really okay, Asami." Korra laughed. "I'm not mad," Asami smiled before giving her a big hug.
So that's it! If y'all didn't catch it, Asami's dad forced her to be mean to every girl in public with Mako so it would look like she's jealous.
I hope y'all enjoyed, and I will see you guys next time, bye!
I love you guys
