Author Notes

I decided to give a small view into Asami's mind. I hope you enjoy the finale of this short series.

Thank you, everyone, for following!

EM ;)


Asami


Feeling her body against mine, the warmth giving me the comfort I always longed for I can't help but think how happy I am at this very moment.

When did it happen? When did I fall for her? Was it the first day I met her and the rebellious tone she had with me?

Was it the day she saw right through the mask I always hid behind?

The first kiss I gave her, yes I did it to prove a point, but I didn't realize how vulnerable it would make me against her.

The teasing, the second kiss, and all those things I did to her happened before I could stop myself.

I wanted them to seem as if I did it to push her, to make her stop talking, but I wanted it too.

I saw how she looked at me, but I didn't understand what she saw.

Her eyes always seemed in awe, but I wasn't worth the admiration she gave me.

I wasn't worth her time.

The more I got to know her the more I wanted to protect her too. The pain she suffered the things she saw and did scarred her for the rest of her life.

Is it wrong I want to be the one she runs to and that I have already decided to always be there for her?

I lift my head and stare at the girl.

She has already given me so much and what have I done for her?

My breath catches when she turns and our faces are inches apart.

I smile to myself when I see her smile in her dreams.

I lean down and kiss her chastely.

"I love you, Korra."

Her eyes open and she smiles sleepily.

At first, I'm shocked, but she just wraps her arm around me and falls asleep again.

Maybe she won't remember.


Korra


The sun stings my eyes and I begin to groan when I feel my arm trapped.

I almost panic when suddenly the smell of jasmine calms me.

I begin to feel my face heat up when I realize I am spooning with Asami.

Both of my arms are wrapped around her waist and our legs are intertwined. Her long hair is scattered all around me and I'm trying not to freak out.

She moans in her sleep a little and presses back against me.

My heart is racing and I can't move. Everything is so close and almost everything is touching.

Did I do this in my sleep? What if she wakes up and gets angry?

I'm beginning to panic in my head when I hear her soft voice.

"Stop breathing so loud."

I quickly unwrap my arms and murmur sorry.

She just looks back a little annoyed, but then yawns.

"I guess I'm up now."

She gets up and walks out the room like last time leaving me more confused than when I woke up.

It was a weekend and I was glad not having to go to school. I take my time getting out of bed, but I didn't want to miss breakfast.

Man, I really do love breakfast, so I rush downstairs with minutes to spare.

I stop in my tracks as I enter the dining room when I see both Asami and Mr. Sato sitting at the table.

He is pretending to act normal while reading the paper, but I can see the subtle tremor in his hand.

Asami, on the other hand, sits there oblivious to the awkwardness and stares off into space, but blushes when she sees me walk in.

I wonder what she's thinking.

"Good morning, Korra."

I can see the smile reach his eyes as he looks over his paper and I can't help but return it.

"Good morning, Father."

That small word always seemed to make him happy. I had first said it to cheer him up because I knew how much it meant to him, but now I really like the way it sounds and feels when I say it.

The conversation was light, but soon one of his assistants come in and takes Mr. Sato away.

I turn to face Asami and see the sadness in her eyes. Even though she is so good at hiding it, I can see it.

I perk up when an idea hits me.

"Let's go out and have fun just the two of us."

For a second she doesn't say anything and I am about to tell her to forget about it, but then she replies.

"Ok."

She walks out of the dining room and I am left with my mouth open. I can feel my cheeks begin to hurt because I am smiling so hard.

I run out and even pass her as I take the stairs two at a time and begin digging through my closet.

I toss a few shirts out and several shorts finally deciding on a cute white A-shirt with a blue design on it.

I grab a snug pair of shorts and top it off with my white hat.

I look at myself in the mirror and my skin and lean muscles contrast beautifully with the colors.

I turn my head towards the door and wonder what Asami would be wearing and then it hits me.

Did I just ask Asami on a date? I mean we are sisters and it wouldn't be a bad thing to hang out, but how nervous I feel and how much I'm trying to look my best…it feels like a date.

A knock on my door gets my attention.

Asami walks in and even in her casual wear she looks so profession and so beautiful.

Her maroon skinny jeans hug her curves so delicately, but her white blouse covers her modestly. She is placing her small black jacket on as she smiles sheepishly at me.

I try my best divert my eyes and keep from staring as I walk towards her.

"Aren't you going to be chilly?"

I shrug.

"I never get cold."

I take her hand and pull her out of the room excited to spend the day with her.

Hikaru drops us off at a shopping center filled with stores, small restaurants, and even a few arcades.

I pull her along as I make my first stop for some ice cream.

I'm telling her about my favorite types of ice creams when arms circle around me.

"KORRA!"

I nearly drop my ice cream but my eyes open wide recognizing the voice.

I turn around.

"Opal?"

She hits me hard in the shoulder.

"Why haven't you called me?! Like I seriously had to track you down just to make sure you were ok."

She has her hands on her hips and giving me the death stare.

I pout giving her the best puppy dog face I can as I try to hug her. She fights it at first, but then just lets me.

"I'm sorry Opal I swear I meant to, but the school has so many restrictions and then I have Karate after and before I know it I'm passed out… Pllleeeease, forgive me."

She laughs but swats me one more time.

"Fine just this once."

I see her look behind me and I remember where I am.

"Oh! This is Asami Sato!"

She cuts me off as she walks towards her.

"Dummy, of course, I know who it is. I actually keep up with the news."

She sticks out her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Asami, I'm Opal Beifong, this dummy's best friend."

I watch as she shakes her hand politely, but I can't help but notice how she keeps looking between us.

Opal ends up joining us on our excursion and I have a blast telling her about everything. School, Bolin, Kuvira, and even how much I love living in my new home.

The day was almost over when I realize Asami hadn't said much the entire time and suddenly I started to get worried.

Had I neglected her? Was she upset that Opal ended up joining us?

Opal phone rings and she steps away.

It gives me the chance to talk to her.

"Asami? You ok?"

She smiles.

"Yes, I've never really heard you talk that much before or smile… It was nice."

I didn't know exactly what she was complementing all I knew is that my face felt hot, but then Opal calls me over.

"That was my brother. He is done with the business he came to do and now it's time to go home."

She turns to Asami.

"It was nice to meet you, please take good care of Korra."

Something about the way she said it and the seriousness behind it made me look at Asami.

"I promise. She's my family now."

Opal smiles as she drags me to the car her brother just arrived in.

She hugs me tight and begins to whisper in my ear.

"Don't wait too long to tell her how you feel because I can tell she feels the same way."

Before I can question her she jumps into the car and waves as it takes off.

I walk back to Asami as she patiently waits, looking towards the dimming light on the horizon.

She turns and when she sees me she pulls out her phone.

I stop her.

"Aren't you ready to head back it's almost nighttime?"

I shake my head.

"I'm not ready. Let's check out the sunset on the balcony." I say pointing to one of the balconies facing the busy street.

We ended up leaning against the rails and I can't help but stare as the wind blows against her and her hair lightly flying back with the breeze.

Opal's voice rings through my head. Could Asami like me as much as I like her? Do I even know if this feeling that I am feeling is me liking her?

I look down at the people walking by as the sun finally tucks behind the horizon and a small shudder goes through my body.

It quickly disappears as I feel warm arms around my waist.

I turn around.

"Asami, what are you doing?"

She doesn't say but touches my face as she leans in.

Her lips connect with mine and it's nothing like the kisses before. It wasn't rushed or forced but waited patiently to see if I would kiss back.

I feel my heart thump through my chest, but I close my eyes leaning into it. I feel her other hand touch my cheek as my hands barely touch her waist.

The kiss only lasted a few moments, but it felt like an eternity, an eternity I didn't want to end.

"Asami what does this mean?" I say still a bit short of breath and now holding her hand.

"That I intend to keep my promise."

With that, she pulls my hand as she calls Hikaru to pick us up.


5 years later


"Asami seriously do you really need all this stuff! I mean we can always buy more stuff in Germany when we get there."

I'm scratching my head as I stare at the three boxes of my stuff compared to the whole wall of her stuff.

"Yes, I need them."

Is all she says as she travels between the bedroom and bathroom.

I huff as I fall into the couch.

Today Asami will graduate with her MBA as the youngest and top student of her class, but today is also the day we begin our move to Germany.

Thinking back I can't help but smile when I told her I was moving to Germany and even though I was going to ask her to go with me she automatically asked 'When do we leave?'

I was afraid this would push back her future with Future Industries, but Dad agreed it was a great opportunity to study abroad and to learn about foreign affairs. Future Industries would always be waiting for her.

Me, on the other hand, I didn't have a future as clearcut as Asami's. I never really knew what my calling was, but one day Kuvira forced me to go to an audition with her for a stunt double. I was helping her with some of the stunts when the director saw us and hired us both on the stop.

I was pretty shocked since I wasn't actually auditioning, but suddenly there I was on several movie sets doing stunts, fighting, and even driving.

There were several movies I was going to stunt in and they required me to be in Germany and I figured why not! I even got hired to teach at a few Stunt Training Centers between movies so I would be there for a few years.

I look around the small apartment. It had so many memories.

Asami and I became a couple after that spring sunset. We kept it a secret throughout high school, and it didn't surprise anyone when we said we would move in together after.

We were sisters and best friends after all.

The only one who ever knew the truth was Opal and that is only because Bolin and Kuvira were too dense to figure it out and even after being caught naked a few times.

Thinking back before Mako moved away with Wu I think they knew. The day Wu saw me and Asami together he never brought up that Mako was his or kept him in within an arm's length.

I can't help but chuckle to myself thinking about them. They were definitely an interesting couple.

Asami never cared for keeping our relationship a secret and even as I worried about her reputation as the next CEO or how our father would react she always said it didn't matter.

"There is always going to be bad press. Always, but at least I can hold your hand in public and kiss you like this."

She always got me with the kiss part.

Nevertheless, I asked to keep it quiet until I could find the courage to tell our father. If everyone is going to find out I might as well say it to him first and today was the day I decided to tell him.

I was taking his daughter out of the country and we are both sure the paparazzi would be bad for a few weeks when we first arrive, so it might be a possibility we would be found out. They definitely can be sneaky.

Again she didn't feel the need to explain herself to her father, but I did.

He brought me into his home and gave me a great life. I have nothing but gratitude towards him and I have felt like I had been stabbing in the back for years now.

"How do I look?"

I look up from the couch to see Asami in her black gown with all honor satchels and cords. She had her hat placed just right to allow her hair to beautifully curl out to her side. She was a little taller with her red pumps, but it made her legs look a mile long. She looked perfect.

"Ok, Korra, you can wipe the drool. Hurry or I am going to be late."

I grab the keys and I drive her to the graduation ceremony.

During the whole ceremony, I was a nervous wreck. First, because Asami would be giving a very important speech that she had been working on for over a month now and second because I was still acting like a coward and avoiding Dad with dumb excuses.

It seemed like forever before the ceremony finally ended and I was able to escape and go pick up Asami and then meet everyone at the party.

"Did you talk to him?"

I gripped the stirring wheel as Asami touched up her makeup and hair on our way to the party.

"…."

"Korra if you don't talk to him he is going to ask me why you are all distant again and do you really want to see him sad?"

I lower my head in shame, but not taking my eyes off the road.

"No. I just don't know how to say it."

"I'm fucking your daughter."

I gasp as I look at her.

"I will not say that! Why do you always have to be so blunt!"

"You told me to speak my mind so I do."

"So you always had these types of thoughts even when we were younger."

"Yup. I thought you figured that out by now."

I laugh out loud.

"Sweet Asami and perfect student by day…"

"Bad mouth and naughty with her girlfriend at night," she says as her hand slips onto my thigh.

She begins to laugh as I become flustered.

"I'll talk to him at the party."

She leans over kissing my cheek.

"Ok, babe, good luck."

I helped Asami out of the car in her beautiful red cocktail gown. It was short enough to be alluring, but always gave a sense of elegance.

She linked her arm into mine as I looked down at my suit. She had managed to find me a black tight fitting suit that still showed my femininity, but at the same time allowed me to avoid high heels and a dreadful dress.

The top of my shirt was unbuttoned; I believe she forced me to do it so she could look down my shirt throughout the night, and a red tie that matched her dress was hanging loosely around my neck, again not covering what she wanted to see.

We both walk in and the applause begins.

I still wasn't used to being the center of attention, but Asami was born to be.

I escorted her around before I finally take a glass of champagne outside.

I usually find myself needing a break especially when business terms are the main vocabulary.

I am finally ready to return to the party when a voice comes up behind me.

"Feeling better?"

I turn around smiling shyly.

"Yes, Father. It's still a little hard to get used to."

He comes and pats my shoulder.

"You figured with your on-screen action you would get used to it?"

I laugh.

"Usually I'm too busy trying not to die to notice."

He joins my laugh.

Suddenly my mouth is dry and I lost the ability to form words.

He quickly notices as he leans against the railing overlooking the courtyard.

"I'm sure Asami can handle herself for a bit if you want to talk?"

I sigh.

"I do."

I try to find the best way to tell him, but everything I come up with isn't right, so I decide to wing it.

"Father, everything you have done for me I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. I can't even tell you how much I love you and how you showed me to trust and love others. But…"

He looks concerned as he waits for me to finish.

"I been keeping a secret from you and it was my decision to do so."

"The reason Asami is really moving with is me to Germany is cause… I mean we both really…"

"Love each other?"

I look at him shocked.

"Korra, sweetie, I've known for a long time. The changes I have seen in both of you and the support you have given her. There is no way I couldn't see the love behind it or the love Asami has for you. At first, I was afraid. I was afraid one of you would be hurt and I didn't want to lose either of you, but after these years I know that isn't going to happen."

He wraps his arm around me.

"You complete our family and complete Asami. There is no one else I would want her to be with."

I can't keep the tears back and I turn hugging him tightly.

"I was so scared you would be mad. That you would reject me and that you and Asami would drift apart again. I didn't want to hurt our family either."

"That won't happen, Korra. Now wipe those tears. We have a party to attend and a hostess who is probably getting anxious not seeing us."

I smile as I wipe my tears away and we both walk back into the party.

I make my way back to Asami who is talking to Opal. In a few steps, I take her hand into mine.

She looks down and then back at me and smiles as she grips it.

Opal looking down as well and leans in to hug us both.

"Finally... Can I tell Bolin now?"

We both laugh as I nod, but as we turn around I see Bolin with a mouth full of food pointing at our hands as he is pushing Kuvira.

I take the time to kiss Asami lightly and that is when we hear the crash of Bolin fainting.

"I guess that was a little sudden."

I look back at Asami, but it's like she hasn't heard me. She looks so happy and I can almost see a tear, but she keeps it from falling.

"I love you, Korra."

"I love you too, Asami."

The End
