Chapter 10: Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer

We barged into Asami's home. My hands were busy holding her up, but our lips were still connected and it was a battle for dominance. I didn't know where I was going but I knew that I had to find the stairs to reach the bedroom. I pushed Asami up on a wall and began my task of pushing her to her limit. I moved away from her lips for the sake of air and moved onto her neck.

"Hah…Ravaa…ah" she moaned.

I sucked on her neck and made sure to leave my mark on her. I want her to never forget this night, so I'm gonna make sure that on every single part of her body she knows I was there.

Her arms were wrapped around my neck along with her legs wrapped around my waist. So I moved my right hand up her waist, towards her breast. Honestly it felt really good it was like it fit perfectly in the palm of my hand. If I'm not careful I might lose control of myself, although with Asami moving her hips forward to create friction I might just lose my mind.

"R-Ravaa uhh be-bedroom" She muttered out of breath.

I groaned out in her ear "where?"

"J-Just go straight and t-then make a rig-ahh!"

Oops I bit her skin a bit. What can I say I hate talking when getting in the middle of having sex? I followed her directions and somehow ended up in a random room. Now things were gonna get interesting and fun. I sat at the edge of the bed as she climbed on me and our lips interlocked again. I moved my tongue in as she opened her mouth.

"Mm, take your clothes off." She whispered.

I pushed her closer to me "not until I see yours on the ground first." I slowly pushed my right hand underneath her shirt and lifted it above her head as it fell on the floor. Her skin was silky smooth and as I felt that sensitive skin I couldn't help but smile as goosebumps rose on her skin. Soon all of our clothes came off. We laid on the bed and her hands seemed to trace over some of the scars on my back.

"Did they hurt?" she whispered to me as her eyes looked into mine. I don't know if she was talking about me being an assassin or something else entirely. But I can't let myself be distracted with her act. So I shook my head and gave her a light smile.

"Mmm no not really, but let's not focus on me this time" I moved closer to her "you seem to have been doing that for quite a while."

She seemed confused "wha-ah…mm"

I groped her breast a bit hard, but then it was all about providing stimulation. I placed my mouth on her other nipple circling my tongue around the stiff bud. My right hand was busy pinching the other one.

"Ha…ah…ha"

My eyes looked up to see her face and I must say it was absolutely beautiful. Her eyes are shut tight and her mouth is open wide moaning out loud. Its warm weather right now but to me it's as if I can see the mist of her breathing out air. But that's not enough for me, I want to see just how many expressions I can get out of her. So my hand moves past her stomach and rubs her clit through her panties. Her back arches and I see her hands clench the sheets tightly.

"Mm R-Ravaa stop teasing m-me." She complained

I laughed a lit bit "always trying be commanding in any situation." I brought my face close to hers. As I kept moving my finger against her clit I spoke to her. "You know I don't think you have any right to be giving me orders when you're this wet soaking right through the fabric. Besides I don't like it when people interrupt me when I'm focused on something so do it again and I'll stop and you can fuck yourself while I watch." My fingers halting its motion. She whined and lifted her hips seeking the warmth of my fingers.

"Ravva p-please, I promise I won't interrupt you."

I smirked "Good girl."

I kiss the side of her cheek and take off her panties. I lower my face to the small treasure awaiting me. I lightly blow on it and her hips lift up seeking attention. I hold her steady and start sucking on her wet folds. I take in the wetness dripping from her and enjoy hearing her calling out my name, she is depending on me to make her cum.

"Ha…Ravaa f-faster" Her hands fist my hair pulling me in closer. "Ah go…go in deeper…I-I'm almost cumming."

I move away from her wet lips and instead thrusting in three fingers. Moving at a fast paste she brought my face near hers and brought our lips together, as she reached her climax.

"Mm…ah…"

I whispered to her "that's right cum for me Asami, cum all over my hand."

"Ahh Ravaa!"

I felt her walls tighten and the juices coating my hand. I look at her and saw her breathing heavily. I brought my fingers to my mouth and licked them dry, while doing that I saw how her still hazy jade eyes looked at me. I bent down and kissed her, making her taste herself. After our kiss I rolled over on the right side of the bed, Asami cuddles up to my side her fingers playing on my stomach.

"Shouldn't I return the favor?" she mumbles.

I shake my head "not right now, just giving you pleasure is enough for me. Besides you have work tomorrow so just go to bed." I said light and kiss her forehead.

She nods and after some time I heard her breathing steadily. I didn't want to move for taking the risk of waking her up, so I had to be patient and wait. I looked outside the window and I estimated that it was probably one o'clock in the morning. I knew I had to work fast, so I slowly moved out of the bed making sure that Asami didn't wake up. Once I put my clothes back on I turned and looked down at her. I still couldn't believe that this woman, the one that I thought was the one was involved with the organization that captures assassins. But now was not the time to have second thoughts. I came here for a specific reason and I plan to walk out with what I want. I walk out of the bedroom and release a sigh of relief.

"Well that went way better than I expected. I guess her feelings for me are serious." I use my skills as an assassin to sneak around the house trying not to make a sound. I check the rooms looking for one that is a study. I start to get annoyed until I reach one room that fits in with the description of what I'm looking for. "It looks like her studies, but everything is so…normal." I walk over to her desk and sort through the papers. "Ugh future industries, future industries, future industi- oh come on where's the good stuff?" I just don't get it, maybe Mako made a mistake in thinking she's an assassin/ I walk to her book shelf and slam my fists on it. "Dammit" I whisper underneath my breath. I take my fists off the shelves and turned around to walk away, but as I took one step I heard something fall to the ground. I see that it's a folder and it has my clan's symbol on it. "So this seems like what I'm looking for." I open it and all my suspicions were certain. In the folder were names of informants in the assassin society along with other names of assassins that have been taken into S.I.R.C. or are being monitored by them. "Well would you look at that their locations are here too, that's helpful." My "name" is on that list and I see that she's been keeping track of what I say. "Tch, she even put down the story of my parents that I told her about."

I take photos of the files, which I'll send to Mako. I keep looking and see a username, probably to get access to S.I.R.C. server. Hopefully if she was sent to go after me then that means she has a high rank, if I could hack into the server then finally the Red Lotus can take down S.I.R.C. I check the time again and see that its two o'clock. I should probably leave this place, so I got up placed the folder back in the book shelf hoping that it's the right place. I walk back into the bedroom and write a note to Asami explain that something had come up so I had to go, but I had a very good time last night.

As I walked out of the house I took one last look at the huge mansion. I spent some time thinking and then nodded my head walking away. "Hey…yea I just got out…nah she didn't suspect anything…I got the information and sent you some photos…is the team ready? Good I'll meet you guys by the docks." I hang up and make my way over to the meeting place.

"Night Chief" said the last officer. I just grunted at him. I was too stressed out to focus on other people. Especially with Asami dealing with the assassin case. "(Sigh) Maybe you really are growing old Beifong." I start to go over some work and hear something creeping behind me. I sigh and speak up "You know I didn't reach the status of chief just because of my family name."

I hear a low chuckle "believe chief Beifong, if I didn't want you to notice my presence trust me you wouldn't even notice if I slit your throat."

This guy seriously pissed me off "What do you want shadow I'm really not in the mood."

He walked in front of me and sat down in a chair. "Oh what's the matter chief, I thought you would be excited with how things turned out."

"You call crashing a party and having the Earth Queen bleed to death, along with an assassin not in custody exciting!?"

His eyes never faltered in having an amused expression, though that's better than nothing since both his head and mouth are covered. "Come on chief we both know her death will benefit the nation. She was harboring assassins, you know taking your own citizens and turning them into killing machines. So yes you should be excited about that. Although the other assassin business was not on me. I gave you the necessary information to complete the task, it was your agent that failed to capture the criminal." His voice rose a bit when he finished.

I stared at him for a while trying to come up with an explanation, but I couldn't. Its true Asami was there and should have been able to capture the assassin, but she didn't. Now all we have is a bullet, a dead body and no killer. She didn't give me much of an explanation on what happened, but then again I didn't push her for one because of what happened that night.

"Judging by your silence my guess is that you see I'm right."

"So what if she missed this assassin, she's the best agent out of everyone in this whole facility-"

"And yet ever since getting placed on this case she hasn't been updating you on the assassins actions and I don't mean to be rude, but she seems to be losing her edge…maybe it hit to close to home."

I slammed my hands down on the desk "you don't know anything about her!" I yelled fire in my eyes.

He snickered "ha, but I do know you all pretty well. Besides do you really think Miss Sato will consider you an ally if she knows you're working with an assassin?"

I grow stiff and slowly sit back in my chair. Shit he's right again she would grow furious at me if she found out. But what was I supposed to do, I needed someone on the inside to give me information. "You're right but don't forget I'm the one that made you this deal so I can easily take it back and arrest you for crimes against the city." That should put him in his place.

He only shook his head "Whatever makes you sleep better Chief." He got up and walked behind me to leave from the window. "Oh before I forget" he places a folder on my desk "I took the liberty of getting these for you, thought they might help with getting leads for this case. You don't have to thank me but know this I'll always keep my eyes on you chief…Just…for protective measures. Good night!" he walks out of the window and I feel his presence disappear.

"(Sigh) how has it come to this?" I questioned as I shook my head. Back in the old days I would never agree to working with a criminal, much less cutting them a deal of serving less time. What would you think Yasuko? I laugh at myself "ha damn Lin talking to yourself now, shit maybe retirement is best suited for me now. (Sigh) I really need to talk to her." I get up from my chair and walk towards the door and turn off the lights. As I walk out of the building I look up at the sky and come to a decision. Screw retirement I'm going to make sure this city is rid of assassins' once and for all. I light a cigarette and walk home.

I walk to the docks and look around. I whistle our call signal and hear a response. I see shadows coming out and there standing in front of me is my team. "Were any of you followed?" They all looked at each other and in unison they said "No" That's good, I already know they haven't been followed, but it doesn't hurt to be extra cautious. We all walk onto a ship that my family usually uses to send out cargo. Nobody else is on the ship, but us. We walk into a meeting room and everyone is silent. "So in case Mako hasn't briefed you already, we're all here for one reason and that's to formulate a plan to get rid of S.I.R.C. completely. Along with this sudden decision the girl that I was seeing…um she ended up being an agent working for the agency." Everything was silent and I knew that Kuvira and Wu were taking everything in.

"Sooo Asami Sato multibillionaire, CEO of one of the greatest companies to ever exist and your girlfriend is an agent of S.I.R.C.?" Said Wu.

"Well actually she was never my girlfrie-"

"Oh come on Korra you know that's not the point! You let a S.I.R.C. spy infiltrate your life and gained possible information about our society. No offence but that's just plain dumb especially for someone of your standing" Said Kuvira.

I glared at her "Sounds like an offence to me, mind you, you all pushed me to go after her so you all believed she was just as innocent as I first thought she was." I got up to her face "So don't blame me, she gained nothing and I'm already on top of it." She leaned in closer to me giving me a bigger glare.

"Yea well you should have taken care of it beforehand, sounds like you still have feelings for her."

That's it she pushed her boundaries, I pulled out a knife and so did she. We each aimed it at the others neck. It was a stare off to see who would move first.

"Woah, calm down you two let's think about this." The voice came from Mako.

"Don't get involved Mako, this bitch thinks that she can just come in and act like she's the boss of me. I won't take that anymore." I growled out to him.

"I get that Korra, but you and Kuv go way back. We're all friends and well we've all been played by S.I.R.C., but that's why we need to act like a team and you have to lead us." He came up to the both of us. "Korra who saved you from getting stabbed in the back while you were fighting of S.I.R.C. members?"

I didn't want to respond but he's right she saved my life. "She did she shot a bullet right in to the guy's head sending his brain guts at me." I smiled a bit.

Mako nodded "Right and Kuv who helped you create that awesome combo to take down more than three guys?"

I saw her face soften "Korra did, it was probably the most badass move we ever created."

"Yup so you see how you guys shouldn't fight and just get along so we can talk about our mission."

"…"

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Kuvira and I said in unison.

Mako took a step back from our yelling. "W-What, Why!?"

I looked at Kuvira "even though she saved my life I was covered up in brain goop and I couldn't get the shit out of my hair for a fucking week!"

"Psh and though she helped me create that new move she stole it and took my kills!"

Mako groaned loudly and then yelled at us "Ugh fine! Then just kill each other if it makes you feel better!" He walked off and sat next to Wu, with his arms crossed.

Kuvira and I were let standing and the atmosphere was tense. The night wind causing goosebumps to appear on our skin, but I'm sure neither of us were cold. I clenched my blade and so does she. We keep staring at each other until we burst out laughing.

"Hahaha – whew man for a second there I thought you were going to kill me." I managed to say without laughing so much.

She was wiping away tears from her eyes "I- I know right ha I thought the same thing too!" she laughed.

We both looked at Mako. I knew he would be annoyed and I was right. He was sitting with Wu and looked unimpressed.

"So you think this was funny uh, well glad you had your fun. Now let's get to actually creating a plan." Mako said and then walked away.

We all sit down and we get down to business.

"So how do you want to do this Korra?" asked Mako.

I lay back in my chair thinking "Let's see, well I already have information-"

"Yea I've been meaning to ask, just how did you get that information? Wasn't that in her house?" Wu looked at me and I was a bit hesitant to answer but everyone's eyes were on me.

"(Sigh) alright I'll tell you but don't judge me." They all nodded. "Ok I slept with her and waited till she fell asleep, then I walked into her office and started to snoop around and eventually I found the files. Speaking of which Wu-"

"Oh my God! You slept with her, you whore!" he yelled at me.

"Dude seriously, I had to do what I had to do to get the information that I needed to take her down! Now I got a username to go along with a S.I.R.C. account, Wu I need you to use your magic. Find the password and hack into their server. Mako I want you to use your contacts to find our fellow assassins. I've found locations of some of them. If you need more people let me know and I'll give them to you. I want this done as quite as possible, this time leave no witnesses, no one must know we were there – although they'll probably suspect us. Kuvira and I will go speak with Zaheer and the others. Let's hope they approve with our plans." I looked at all of them wondering if they had any objections.

Kuvira was the one who spoke up. "It sounds like a good plan, but what exactly are we going to do to them. I want to know what we're going to be risking our lives for to go technically to war with S.I.R.C."

"You're right I should tell you what you're risking your freedom for but seriously do I have to? We all took even greater risks than this and honestly this is what we've been training for since joining the assassins. We're going to slowly take down S.I.R.C. from the inside. Once the information we have is analyzed we'll use that to our advantage and take down the Chief. Then slowly the chairman of the entire thing. No longer will assassins have to fear those agents, once they're dealt with our objective of having true order will be even closer within reach."

Kuvira slammed her hands on the table "Now that we should toast to!"

"What?" Wu asked.

Kuvira then pointed at me "a toast to reaching true order."

I smiled and Mako obviously took the hint and brought four glasses and a bottle of cactus juice. It's not really juice, but the name just goes well with it. We all lift our glass and say the toast in unison.

"TO ACHIEVING TRUE ORDER!"

I drank it all in one gulp. "Whew now that hit the spot. Thanks Kuv, we needed that."

"Yea I know you guys would be lost without me." She boasted.

"(Sigh) yea well then mmm let's get some rest in so that we can act this plan out."

"Ha, ha seems like you're the only one who needs rest. Since you exerted yourself when (cough) doing your activities." Said Mako.

I semi glare at him but I knew that he was right. I did need the most sleep out of everyone. "Alight guys I'll leave the rest to you, until you guys get the information we need Kuvira and I won't speak to Zaheer."

"Got it" they all said.

We walked off the ship and began to go our separate ways. Mako came up to me offering me a ride.

"You look like you're about to fall. You know I can give you a ride."

I smiled at him "Yea I know but I think I'll walk. Got a lot on my mind that I need to think about." I gave him a look and I could tell that he understood. He placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You are going straight home though right? I want you to get some rest."

I placed my own hand on top of his and squeezed it lightly. "Yea, don't worry I really want a bed right now…also Mako…thanks you know for looking out for me."

"He, and here I didn't think that you could blush. You really are human." He started laughing.

I grew embarrassed so i started punching him. "You asshole I'm being serious and showing you my gratitude for once."

"Ha, ha, ha alright, alright I get it, sorry! I want you to know you don't have to express gratitude, it's my job, but also you're like the only family I have." He said solemnly.

I felt empathy for him "Mako you know it's not your fault. Those S.I.R.C. bastards took advantage of your parents, they even went as far as to take your little brother. Now I know we have no knowledge if he's alive or dead, but this plan can also be a release for you. Just know like you, I will always have your back." We hugged and finally parted ways.

As I walked my way home I started to recollect how things have come up to this point. I personally still can't wrap my head around it. Me, a trained assassin since I was little, was blinded by a woman. He, she got me good, I probably would have never realized she was against me until it was too late. Who knows what she could have done, she could have taken us all out, my friends…my family. I stop walking and just stand on the streets…

"Tsk…FUCK!" I punch the wall closets to me and feel it crumble under my fist. "I've been getting too weak." My mind has to be focus, that's what Zaheer has taught me. That's what the organization has taught me to do, to become a leader. Well now is the time to start acting like one. I compose myself and continue walking home.

I roll over and find that no one is next to me, well that's not really something new. I stretch, but then I realize something, oh my god since when am I naked when I sleep!? I never sleep naked…well except for that one time but it was hot. I look around and try to remember things but my memory is fuzzy. "Geez Asami what the hell did you do last night." I went to go reach for my phone but instead I see a piece of paper. I open it up and read it and what I read surprised me. I whispered out the words "I had a very good time last night…Ravaa…"

What does she mean – oh my god. Me and her, her and I, we had sex! I place my hands on my head trying to wrap my head around it. We had sex, I can't believe it with an assassin no less. Geez Asami what the hell are you doing, I'm getting too attached. My goddamn job is to get evidence and take her down. My mind goes back to the events from last night. All the moaning that I did, how dominant she was and the way I felt when she touched me. It was by far the most intense sex I've ever had…

"Ahh! No! Stop thinking about it, get your head straight. (Sigh) it was really good though" I mumbled. Damn I seriously could use a strong coffee right now. I realize that I'm not in my room so I get up and walk over to my room and open up my closet. I put on a t-shirt and shorts. As I walk out of my own bedroom to got to the kitchen, my eyes go to my studies. I don't know how to pin it exactly, but I feel like I should go check it. I walk into the room, everything looks normal. I walk over to my desk and sit on it.

"(Sigh) for a second I thought she came in here looking for information."

I look over to my bookshelf and walk towards it intending to pick up moms favorite book, but as I reach out for it my eye catches a folder. I whisper to myself "that's my S.I.R.C. information folder, strange" I lift my hand to grab it "I don't remember-"

RING, RING,

It's my doorbell. Guess I'll have to wait for you folder. I walk over to the front door, putting on a robe first and then I open it.

"Yo Asami"

"Bolin. Why are you here it's early?" I step aside to let him in.

"Early? Boy either you went to bed late or had one too many drinks huh."

"Bolin." I warn him.

"Ha,ha, just kidding but seriously it's not early its already the afternoon."

"What!? The afternoon, no way!"

"Yea" he says as he sits down on the couch. "I tried calling your cell, but it always went straight to voice mail so I thought something was up."

I sit across from him in an arm chair. "Sorry I guess I didn't put my phone to charge."

"Does it have anything to do with your lipstick being smudged?" He said to me while looking at me seriously.

My eyes widen. I stand up and go to a mirror and see that my makeup is ruined and my hair is also in shambles.

"Seems to me like you had some company last night. Want to tell me who it was?"

I calm myself and sit back in the chair. "No offence Bolin, but my sex life has nothing to do with you."

He turns his gaze away from me and closes his eyes. "I just want to know who it was because I care about you. I don't see why you're getting upset, it's just a question."

I can already feel the tense atmosphere growing. "Fine it was Iroh ok. He came back with me from the hospital and things got a little carried away." I looked at him hoping he bought it.

"Alright if that's what you say. You should get dressed the Chief asked for all the agents to be present today."

"Why does she want all of us?" I asked him as I stood up.

Bolin just shrugged "I don't know but I'm guessing she has some important news to tell us."

I nodded at him and told him to give me a few minutes. Once I changed we both headed out the door and into his car. The drive at first was quite. That is until Bolin spoke up.

"Hey um, I just want to say I'm sorry"

Sorry? "Why are you saying sorry Bolin, you didn't do anything?"

"You see that's exactly it. I didn't do anything and you were almost killed."

Now I get it he's talking about the party. He wasn't there and the authorities wouldn't let anyone in. "Bolin you don't have to apologize to me, I know in my heart that you would be the first one there looking for me."

"You're damn right, besides you're like the only family I have Asami. Aside from Opal, but you helped me out when I lost my family. I owe you my life." He looks me in the eye. "I'm not joking, I mean it Asami."

I place my hand on his shoulders, "thanks Bolin."

We came to a stop once we reached headquarters and when we got inside we headed straight to the meeting room. Everyone's eyes soon looked at me and Bolin. "Good afternoon everyone." I said.

"Lieutenant" they all answered back.

Bolin and I took a seat and waited for the chief to come in. it's most likely that she's going to talk about what happened that night. As I was thinking Chief Beifong walked in.

"Everyone, I'm glad you all came."

We all rose up, "Chief!" we all said.

She nodded her head, "please take your seats. Now I'm sure that most of you are wondering why you were called here."

Most of us? Does she mean me?

"The answer is very simple, we have a mole in our mists and I want all of you to be aware."

Wait a mole? Someone is selling us out to the enemy, but how?

Beifong stood up from her seat and walked towards the window, looking at the area surrounding us. "Yes I know that's a lot to take in, but it is the truth. The moment when the Earth Queen was assassinated someone leaked to an assassin that she would be there. Lieutenant, you were the one who was there, and yet you didn't apprehend the murderer. Care to tell us why?"

Everybody's eyes were on me. Is she seriously accusing me of being the mole? "Well chief, I went after the assassin and I was closing to capturing her, but then some employees called out my name and she used that distraction to jump out the window. I came because I was invited, so no I did not tell any assassin that the Earth Queen would be there."

"Nobody was accusing you lieutenant."

"No? Well it certainly seemed like you were, Chief."

Our eyes met and it was like our gazes were battling each other. I knew I was getting out of like, but I didn't tell Ravaa anything about S.I.R.C. Lin ended up giving up our little stare contest.

"(Sigh) well I apologize if I made you feel like I was. This is just a serious case and I want you all to be on high alert don't trust anyone, I mean it I trained you all well enough. Now all of you but Asami leave."

Everyone left except for me. What does she want?

"So kid, how have you been?"

"I've been doing fine, as you know just working. You?"

"Same here just working…"

She sighed, "listen Asami I don't know how, but things are obviously a bit strained between us, but I'm not here to fight with you. I am here with you because I'm concerned about how personal you are getting with your mission."

"Concerned?" I questioned her to elaborate on that.

She nodded her head, "yes, my source tells me that you've been getting distracted with the assassin. We've had this conversation before, but I honestly need to know…are you letting feelings grow for the enemy?"

Silence filled the air for a moment. What should I do, should I tell her the truth, but that would take me off the case.

"I need an answer Asami."

I looked her in the eye, she's been with me since I was a child. She's basically family to me. "I…I am, Lin…"

She looked at me in shock, then her face turned neutral. "I see. When did it happen?"

I shook my head, "I don't know, at first I was focused on the job and I was getting information, but as days went on and the time that we spent together… I just felt something grow. She was similar to me, we both lost people closest to us and we're both determined to make others proud of us. I found comfort with her. Ravaa, she's not like other assassins!"

"How would you know!? She's playing you Asami, I trained you better! Do you even know what this means now? What I have to do?" She yelled at me.

I could tell I was hurting her. That was never my intention. "Lin please while I know this mission has gone wrong in so many ways, please you have to hear her out-"

"Asami Sato…"

No. I shook my head, "Lin please listen to me-"

"As members S.I.R.C. it is our obligation to eradicate assassins from the world. Without them humanity would live in peace. You have violated your oath and for that I have but no choice as Chief, but to suspend you from this case. You are no longer involved with the assassins until further notice." She said to me and her voice was void of any emotion. I disappointed her.

I felt tears sting my eyes. "Lin, please."

She stood up and walked away from me towards the door. "Pack up your things and try to clear your mind. I'll handle it from here." With that she walked away from me.

I couldn't believe it, she didn't even give me a chance. A chance to explain things. I stood up and walked out the same door. I gathered up my things and avoided contact with others. As I walked out of S.I.R.C. I saw Bolin leaning against the wall. He looked at me and I saw how his face shifted between different emotions. I walked up close to him.

"So I guess she took you off huh?"

I smiled sadly "yea, guess my mind just wasn't in the right state."

"You know, I know that it was her"

I looked at him, "what?"

"Ravaa, she was the one you slept with last night."

No how could he have known. "Boli-"

"I went to go visit the hospital and met Iroh there. He told me that you decided to go home alone. He said he tried calling you many times, but you didn't answer him. So I went to your house to see for myself-"

"No you got it all wrong Bolin, she never came over-"

"DON'T LIE TO ME! I SAW HER, I SAW HOW SHE KISSED YOU AND YOU JUST LET HER DO IT!" he yelled at me.

"B-Bolin I'm sorry. I seriously screwed up this one, badly. You have every right to be mad at me. So please continue." I hung my head down. I was waiting for him to yell at me some more and call me a traitor and such. But I didn't expect for him to bring me into his arms.

"You know sometimes you can be a real idiot." He hugged me even tighter.

"B-but I don't understand. Aren't you mad at me?"

"Hell yeah I'm mad at you, but I'm mad that you didn't tell me what was going on. You didn't trust me and instead kept it all to yourself."

"But remember the last time I told you about it. You got angry at me for that. So what was I supposed to do but hide it from you?"

He sighed. "Yeah, I should apologize for that. I spoke to Opal about it when I got home and she tore me a new one. She told me that some people find connections with others even though it's unexpected, but that's the time when they need their friends closer to them than ever, to give them support." He pulled me back and looked at me in the eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't give you a chance to explain your feelings Asami. I'm officially the biggest doofus ever. Please forgive me?"

I was still surprised, but I'm glad that now I'm not completely alone. I gave him a huge smirk, "You are the biggest doofus I've ever met, but that's why I love you. So yea I forgive you, and can you forgive me for not trusting in our friendship?"

He gave me a big grin and a thumbs up, "you bet, bestie"

We both walked over to his car and got in.

"So what do you say we head back to my place and sort things out, we got to figure out what our next move is gonna be." He stated.

"Yea, that sounds like a good idea. I need to sort out my thoughts. Thanks Bolin for having my back."

"Ehhh it ain't no problem for this dude, I'll even give up my life for you Asami." He boasted.

"Ehh maybe you don't have to go that far."

We both laughed as we road on. Time to start a new plan!
