Writers note

My apologise for this horribly late update!

I found myself celebrating my mothers birthday in the Netherlands this weekend and I only returned like, a few hours back home.

And I didn't have a laptop with me to write on D:

First thing I did when I got home was finishing up this chapter so I could put it up.

Hopefully its to the liking of the readers!

Please let me know what you think! It's always appreciated!

Chapter 10

Korra had been surprised by Asami's sudden moan but started to laugh. "Yeah, I know right? I had the same reaction first time Kya did this." She grinned amused. "I swear I though she'd choke. I was feeling miserable enough already at that moment. When I finally received healing and the pain was gone, she made fun of my reaction." Korra explained, her eyes locked with green ones.

Asami smiled amused. "Spirits... glad I'm not the only one... who made a fool of themselves." She let out a weak giggle. "Its... so overwhelming... this feeling." She took a deep breath, her ribs allowed her quite a lot more while Korra kept her healing touch on her skin. "Thanks... again." She relaxed against the mountain of pillows behind her a genuine smile on her lips.

"No problem, and you know it." She winked at her friend. "I did bring us some food, let's hope we don't have to add food poisoning to the list of what's wrong with you." She smirked.

"Yes well, then you have to take care of me, just a bit longer. Avatar Korra, personal nurse of Asami Sato." Both girls laughed and Asami sighed relieved, it was good to laugh again without protesting ribs.

Korra kept going for several more minutes. She smiled at the fact she had a hand on Asami's soft skin. She saw the soft tone of muscle on her stomach. The white porcelain skin, covered in bruises under her fingertips. She was very tempted to let them travel over the rest of the pale skin but fought the urge.

She eventually removed her hand and got the water back in the glass. She gently pulled the nightgown down again to cover her friend up. "Now let's take a look at your head..."

The moment Korra had stopped, she felt the pain come back. Although in a lot less violent way then before. She let Korra remove the bandage around her head and examine it. "How... does it look?" she asked a bit worried.

"Well, better, its red but no longer swollen." She let her fingers slide over the head wound. "Don't think you'll have a scar either. Or perhaps a really small one. Its healing nicely." She sat back down on the bed. "Do you want to bathe later? I'll leave it like this for now and once you're all fresh and clean, I'll put a new one on it." She gestured at Asami's forehead.

"Didn't I have a bath yesterday...?" she asked with her cheeks darkening a bit.

Korra smirked. "Yeah, a healing one... and that was just to warm you back up. I found you laying on the floor, window open and butt naked. So yeah, my first instincts told me to warm you up. I didn't have time to put any soap in the water." She snickered softly.

Asami chuckled softly. "I'm deeply disappointed Avatar... I'd hoped you would find personal hygiene and saving people's life equally important." She tried to speak with a firm tone but they both ended up laughing. "But to answer your question... yes I'd like to... but I'll probably need your assistance..." she said shameful, she clenched the fabric of her gown with her hands.

"That's fine, I'm here, for whatever you need." She smiled, taking Asami's hands in her own. "You should really stop worrying, you did so much more for me back then."

Asami smiled and looked in those ocean blue orbs she loved so much. "I can now finally understand how you must've felt..." she whispered. "Sort of... I mean, I'm not paralyzed and wasn't poisoned but I feel useless and..." her voice trembled, she bit her lip.

Korra moved over to sit next to her friend. She wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. "As you told me back then, you're not useless. You are the CEO of your own company. You have friends who love you." She placed another soft kiss on her friends hair just to put more power behind her words. "And you have the Avatar as your personal nurse."

The last made Asami chuckle. She rested her head on Korra's shoulder and nuzzled against her neck. Breathing in the Avatars scent through her nose. "Thanks..."

The two sat there for a while before Korra decided that Asami finally had to face the dangers of her cooking. Asami had been pleased and the two of them finished everything Korra had brought with her.

Not long after they finished they heard a soft knock on the door. After Korra called them to come in, Bolin and Opal stepped inside. Bolin had brought Pabu with him, the little fire ferret quickly rushed over to Korra and Asami. Clearly happy to see them both. He quickly settled on Asami's lap who then happily scratched behind his ear. Once he turned on his back, she started to rub his belly which made the little ferret purr in pleasure.

The four of them spend several hours with each other in the room, Bolin talked about Mako and his eagerness to please the Chief of Police. Catching more criminals then the rest of his precinct combined.

Opal eagerly tells about her training with Jinorah and Kai. How they used their air bending and their new wing suits to fly around the island, back and forth between Republic City and Air Temple Island. She said she'd go and visit her family soon in Zaofu and that Bolin would be joining her.

Being the only living lava bender, known to man for now, he wanted to show the twins a little taste of their own medicine. He had grinned in the most creepy way possible when he spoke about it. "Imagine their faces! Ha!"

"Try not to burn down all of Zaofu sweetie..." Opal said and patted his shoulder. "My family still lives there and I'm sure they're quite fond of the place they build with their own bare hands..."

Bolin grinned and nodded. "Always!" he then asked Asami if she wanted to play a little Pai Sho with him, hoping he could finally win.

Asami happily obliged and gestured at a dresser in which she kept a board and a bag that contained the tiles. Korra cheered for Asami each time she won, smiling happily and beaming with pride.

Opal playfully teased Bolin that, even with the concussion, he was still unable to beat Asami. Which earned her a few sad pouts and sulks from the green eyed young man. Although all the girls clapped when he did finally win his first game.

Asami's eyes had travelled to the corner of her eyes and checked on Korra discreetly. They had been like this for almost the entire time but the hand on her back made a shiver go down her spine. Her momentarily distraction had cost her her victory. She woke up from her little daydream because of Bolin's cheer of pure joy.

"Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yes! Finally! Tomorrows paper will say, Bolin finally managed to defeat the famous Asami Sato!"

Opal and Korra both laughed and Asami joined in with the rest. "Well, I do want a rematch... show me what you got bender boy." She said with a teasing grin on her face.

Bolin, still drunk from his first victory, agreed. "Oh yes! Let's do this!"

Korra smirked and got up. Sliding her hand over Asami's back before stepping away. "I'm going to get some more tea. I'll see if I can find some snacks as well, can you give me a hand Opal? Or do you think Bolin can't live without his lucky charm." She smirked and raised an eyebrow amused.

Hours passed by, Opal and Bolin eventually left. Korra started on Asami's bath and made sure to put soap in the water this time. She had the heater on and it was nice and warm in the bathroom.

She returned to where Asami was and smiled at her. "Bath time miss Sato!" she chuckled and bend down slightly to slide one arm under Asami's knees and one behind her back.

Asami whimpered slightly but wrapped her slender arms around Korra's neck when she was lifted off the bed. "T-this feels... so strange..." she mumbled softly while she was taken to the bathroom and placed on the chair that Korra had placed there.

Korra walked over to the tub and checked the water. "Nice and warm, perfect..." she smiled and turned around to Asami who held an arm around her chest and a hand against her forhead. "I'll work a bit more in your ribs later... is your head giving you troubles again?"

She nodded. "Y-yeah... I'm sorry... I'm... not feeling so good.. I..." she swallowed hard. She felt her nausea returning again.

"You gonna be sick...?" Korra asked concerned, ready to grab the can from the other room.

"I'm... trying not to..." she took a few deep breathes with her eyes closed, forcing her stomach to behave and keep the food she ate inside. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Korra on her knees on the floor. Her eyes full of worry and concern.

"Y-you're... in a... bad position..." she tried to smile weakly. "In case... I h-have to... you know..."

Korra smiled gently at her and brought a hand to Asami's cheek. Her eyes grew wide in shock. Her face was actually warm. No not just warm, it was hot. She noticed how Asami was trembling on her seat. "You're so hot, you're practically glowing!"

Asami narrowed her eyes in disbelief. "What...? I'm... freezing... what a-are you... talking about?"

"Hmmm... I'll check that later... let's get you in the tub, shall we?" she brought her two hands to Asami's shoulders. "You mind if I... undressed you?"

Asami shook her head slowly. "P-payback..." she giggled weakly and groaned, clearly thinking of the time she had helped Korra bathe.

Korra chuckled once. "Heh... yeah right..." and moved the nightgown down from her shoulders, exposing more of Asami's skin. She felt her heartbeat go up the more she saw of the pale skin and a gentle blush crawled on her face once Asami's breasts were exposed. She lowered the gown down to the waist and then stopped. "Can you put your arms around me...?" she cleared her throat, trying to keep the raging feelings under control.

Asami nodded and weakly brought her arms up to the Avatar's neck and wrapped them around her. Korra gently lifted Asami up from the chair, earning her a whimpering and painful groan from the young heiress.

"S-sorry, I'll be as fast as possible." She quickly took a hold again onto Asami's gown and removed it, it fell at her feet onto the floor. She then wrapped an arm around her friend to stable her. The black haired woman now stood completely naked against the blushing water tribe woman. Her pale flesh pressed against the fabric of Korra's tunic. Her arms still around the Avatar's neck.

Arms were placed behind knees and Asami's back and she was lifted up once again. A few seconds later, she was lowered in the warm water of the tub. She sighed happily when the smelled the lovely scent of the soap in the water.
