Note: This is set in the same AU as Blue Fire and Polar Bear Dogs, in which Azula was Korra's firebending instructor.

Awkward

"Is there a reason that you're blushing like a schoolgirl and stammering like an idiot?" Azula asked.

Korra's blush only intensified. "No…?"

"Korra, I am not a fool. There is a reason that you asked me to come to Republic City, and I would rather you get on with it. I have other things I could be doing." Azula smiled toothily. "Or rather, I have people I could be destroying."

"Do I want to know?"

"No, you really don't. So… what do you need my help with?"

"What makes you think I need your help?" Korra folded her arms over her chest. "Maybe I just wanted to see my old firebending instructor again."

"Yes, and maybe I'm a purple platypus bear. Get to the point, Korra."

"Fine." Korra looked around to make sure they were completely alone. "I want to know how you… how you… do it."

"Do what?" Azula asked flatly.

"You know… it."

"Try again, Korra, and this time actually express yourself properly. I do not expect you to be as eloquent as I am, but I do expect you to use words in a way that makes sense."

"You're really going to make me say it?" Korra clutched at the air. "Really?"

"I don't have any idea what you're talking about. Contrary to common belief, I cannot actually read people's minds."

"Fine. I want to know how to have sex."

Azula raised one eyebrow. "You see, Korra, sometimes, when a man and a woman love each other very much…"

"No!" Korra grabbed her hair. This was the worst idea ever. "I already know how a man and a woman have sex! I want to know how two women have sex!"

"I see." Azula's lips curled into an expression that Korra had seen many timed during her training: an expression of pure, unmatched evil. "And why exactly are you asking me?"

"Because, you know, you and Ty Lee…" Korra looked away. "Well, you know."

"Yes, I do." Azula smirked. "But why would you want to know… unless… oh, yes, that Sato woman."

"Her name is Asami!" Korra glared.

"Yes. Yes, Asami Sato." Azula folded her hands together. "And here I thought you two were just friends, that's certainly what you used to tell me whenever I asked."

"We were just friends, but now we're more."

"But you haven't actually had sex yet?" Azula snickered. "How far have you gone exactly?"

"Can you just answer my question?" Korra pleaded.

"Korra, allow me to be very blunt." Azula stood up and when whacked Korra over the back of the head.

"Hey!"

"Sometimes, I wonder how on earth you've managed to survive this long. You should realise by now that that best approach is for the two of you to do what comes naturally when you are both comfortable with it." Azula rolled her eyes. "Honestly, you'll know what to do when the times comes, and if you don't, I'm quite sure that Asami will have more than a few suggestions."

"But…"

"Still… if you really do want to know, there is a book you could borrow." Azula's eyes gleamed. "Yes, it's just the thing. It was actually written by Avatar Kyoshi."

"Oh…"

"Korra, you cannot possibly be this dense. Did you really think that it was a coincidence that she spent so much time at the side of her second-in-command and that they shared a home together?"

"Uh… maybe?" Korra shook her head. "Oh, give me a break. I've never been big on the whole history thing. And how do you even know all this stuff?"

"I believe in knowing one's enemy. I might have been your instructor, but I spent my childhood trying to assassinate your predecessor." She chuckled. "I got closer than anyone else, so I suppose my approach has some merit." She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something down. "Here is the name of the book. I have no doubt that you will be able to find it on Air Temple Island. Tenzin considers it his duty to collect all of the relics he can find that are related to previous Avatars."

"Oh."

"Yes, and can you do me a favour?"

"Uh, sure."

Azula grinned. "Make sure that he sees you borrow it. I want to know exactly how he reacts. In fact, why don't you ask him if he's read it and if he has any favourite parts?"

"You are so evil."

Yes, I am."

Author's Notes

As always, I do not own Legend of Korra. I am not making any money off of this either.

Dorky Korra is so fun to write, and a reformed Azula makes for a perfect foil. Poor Tenzin. Lucky Asami.

As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
