Hey folks, I'm sorry for the very long absence, life gets in the way as I'm sure you're all more than familiar with. Here a short update and more is on the way.

Kuvira stood before her bedroom door working up the nerve to exit her room and b-line for the front door as fast as possible to avoid the apparent emotional mess that was unfurling in her living room. Taking a deep breath she began the trip, she emerged and headed straight for the door and almost made it before Opal's voice caught her.

"Wait!, where are you going?" she said approaching her, leaning in to avoid being heard by Asami who was trying to look composed. " I kind of need you here right now, maybe you can help me take Asami's mind off things by chilling here for a bit?"

"Shit, that would be the polite and proper thing to do in this situation, but I already made this plan with Korra and I can't just throw out a golden opportunity to become more familiar with her," Kuvira thought to herself "especially not with Asami looking like she is only one more runny eyeliner away from furiously texting Korra copious apologies and promises of a better relationship."

"You know how I am in awkward social situations, especially with people I barely know Opal, I don't think that's a good idea." Kuvira replied cooly, eyes flitting over to Asami momentarily who had peaked over in Opal, and Kuvira's direction.

"Well where are you going then?" Opal asked eyes narrowing.

"I got a text from Professor Nichols, he wanted to see me down at his office to talk research proposals" Kuvira lied, maintaining her neutral expression.

"Alright fine, I'll see you when you get back" Opal said turning and heading back towards the couch with a huff.

Kuvira flew down the stairs like she was running from a murder scene, "Ugh, did I have lie so flagrantly?" Sooner or later Opal would figure out She and Korra were becoming a little too close for comfort and that would not be a day Kuvira survived long after. She took out her phone and messaged Korra while trekking towards the Korra's apartment.

Korra was furiously cleaning up her room and wishing she was a more cleanly person in general, how long had this laundry been under her bed? Her phone bussed in her pocket as she was hurling the laundry into the closet and forcing the door shut. Korra pulled out her phone and looked at the bright screen to see a message from Kuvira.

Kuvira : "I'm on my way over but we need to keep this quiet."

Korra's throat went dry, that was an odd turn of events.

Korra: "Well that might be a problem, Bolin and Mako are here and I already kind of told them."

"Well shit how am I going to do this so Opal doesn't find out?" Kuvira thought with a huff while briskly walking towards Korra's place. She was standing in front of the apartment door when an idea struck. She took out her phone and began tapping.

Korra's phone buzzed and she arched an eyebrow when she read the text's contents.

Kuvira: "Feel like being naughty?"

"Hey guys, Kuvira says she needs to take a rain check on hanging out."

"Man that sucks." Mako replied

"Yeah darn" Bolin said, "She won't be able to terrify me tonight."

A moment later Korra's phone bussed again on the table; She looked at the screen a moment and sighed. "Hey guys, I've got to run for a bit."

"What why?" Bolin whined, "We were about to turn on the xbox and go few rounds!"

"Well, you don't want to know, lady stuff okay?" Korra replied jabbing him in the side with her elbow while he tried to get away from her. "Alright guys I'll catch you later guys." As she grabbed her keys and headed through the door, she got down to the ground floor and exited onto the street where Kuvira was leaning against the wall with a cigarette dangling between her nimble fingers. Those things can kill you, you know?"

"So can chronic masturbation, you won't see me stop doing that, well the masturbation part, it's not quite chronic yet." Kuvira said flicking cigarette into the gutter and giving Korra a devilish look.

"Well what's the plan now?" Korra chuckled a smile appearing on her face.

"Let's go have some fun, some Opal would approve of, maybe a little she wouldn't." Kuvira replied her devious smile persisting.

Korra and Kuvira stepped out of the cab in front of a three story building with no windows, loud music pulsed through the walls and out onto the street to greet them. They made their way to the front door through a short line and approached the bouncer who waved them through into a large dark room where lights were pulsing to the beat of the music currently pounding their ear drums. Kuvira turned to Korra and pointed towards an empty table.

"Get that table, I'll get us a few drinks." Kuvira yelled over the music. Korra nodded and strode purposefully through the crowd. Kuvira turned and made her way through the throng of people towards the bar to flag down a bar tender.

"What can I get you?" Short brunette with thick-rimmed glasses asked.

"Two midori sours, keep the tab open" Kuvira replied handing her a credit card. A few minutes later after carefully shoving her way through the mass of people, Kuvira made it back to the table with drinks in hand but Korra was no where to be found. The table had been occupied by a group of guys who appeared to be about to make the mistake of dropping Jaeger bombs. Eyebrow arched Kuvira scanned the nearby tables and found Korra sitting in a both occupied by another couple on the side opposite her. Kuvira approached the table and handed Korra her drink.

"Sorry the table was taken before I got to it, but these fine folks have agreed to share their booth with us." Korra said grinning as Kuvira slid into her spot next to Korra. "That's Tom and Ciara" Korra said introducing Kuvira to their single serving friends for the evening. After the pleasantries Tom excused himself to the bar momentarily. Korra turned to Kuvira who was sipping on her drink" "So what was the big news you wanted to tell me?"

"Oh! That's right I forgot all about that with all the plan changing" Kuvira said enthusiastically, "Well I got a job doing some dance lessons"

"Oh that's awesome! Where at?" Kuvira asked almost yelling at the top of her lungs over the roar in the club as the current song was reaching it's climax.

"The gym you attend actually" Kuvira said leaning towards Korra and putting her lips so close to her ear she could feel Kuvira's breath pat against her earlobe with every syllable. Kuvira pulled away and noticed Korra's cheeks were slightly flushed when the guy she had just met, Tom was his name she thought, slid back into the booth.

"Hey theres a guy over at the bar thought you guys were with us, he wanted me to ask f you would dance with you." Tom said looking at Kuvira.

"Uhm, not every day that happens, which one?" Kuvira asked. Following the line of sight from tip of finger to a mans face looking at her from across the dance between dancing figures. Kuvira made eye contact with the man. "Well its been a long time, and I would like to dance." Korra's heart sunk for a moment as Kuvira slid out of the booth but almost jumped out of her chest when Kuvira pulled her to her feet Smirk on her face looking right into Korra's sapphire eyes with her own emerald ones. Soon she found herself out on the dance floor Kuvira's hips rolling and grinding into hers to the music.

Several songs and several more drinks later, Kuvira's arms were draped over Korra's shoulders, With Korra's hands resting on her hips. Kuvira leaned in to whisper into Korra's ear.

"Lets have some unapproved fun"
