Korra can't believe she didn't ask Asami out sooner. She would let Asami feed her all day if the green-eyed girl would like to. The way Asami looks at her with such fondness is enough to make her heart twist in the best of ways. Her friends were it right, she has it really bad.
When they finish their cinnamon rolls, Korra remembers that she wanted to check out a 50% off deal at Under Armour so she urges Asami into the store with her.
"What do you want to buy exactly?" Asami asks.
"I saw these cool workout sweatpants the other day. Mine are really worn out, so I could use a new pair." Korra replies, sifting through the racks. "I just hope these have—POCKETS! They do have pockets! God bless." Korra holds the gray sweatpants up and turns around to see Asami giggling at her.
"You're so cute," Asami says with a bright smile, and Korra turns into a mushy puddle.
Korra blushes, "C-can you blame me, though? Most pants nowadays don't have pockets."
"No, I can't blame you," Asami replies, turning her attention to another rack. "Now that you mentioned it, I could get a new pair of leggings."
Asami walks towards Korra holding a pair of dark army green leggings in one hand and a pair of classic black ones in the other. "Which one?"
Korra hesitates for a moment, honestly, both would look great on her, but she settles for the green ones. "The green ones. They complement your eyes."
"Aww, sweetheart," Asami cupped Korra's face before disappearing into the change room.
Korra feels a small tap on her shoulder and turns around to see Marceline standing behind her, grinning.
"I'm so proud of you, here," Marceline says before sticking a star sticker to Korra's shirt.
Korra sighs but smiles, "thanks. I can't believe I didn't ask her out sooner. Where's Bonnie?"
"At the swimsuit shop, I told her to get ahead so I could give you your star," Marceline replies. "So, have you kissed her yet?"
Korra blushes furiously and Marceline laughs. "Korra and Asami sitting on a tree k-i-s-s-i—"
"Grow up, Marce." Korra shoves her friend lightly.
"I'll get you another gold star for that," Marceline says. "You might be thirstier than Clarke."
"No one is thirstier than Clarke," Raven interjects.
"I thought you were already at the swimsuit shop, Rae," Korra says.
"I was, but then I kinda sorta interrupted Clarke and Lexa when they apparently were about to hook up in the changeroom. So I left Octavia there and asked Bonnie to help her look for a swimsuit, and I came to look for you guys." Raven explains.
"I bet you five bucks that they hook up during the weekend," Marceline offers.
"I bet you five bucks that they hook up on Friday," Raven counters.
"Deal."
"We should go pay for these—oh, hey guys," Asami says as she comes out of the change rooms.
"Cool, maybe we can go watch It later," Marceline says.
Korra pouts, "you know I don't exactly like horror movies."
"Don't worry, honey. I'll hold your hand." Asami takes Korra's hand to emphasize her point and leads her to the register.
"You're welcome," Raven mouths before high-fiving Marceline.
After Korra and Asami pay for their clothes, the four girls walked to the swimsuit shop to meet up with the rest of the girls. After that, they went to the arcade place to look for the boys.
The boys were all being loud about Mako being a sore loser, but that was nothing new. After Wells calmed them down, they all walked into the theater.
"Just no making-out during the movie. Ok, Griff?" Wells says.
Clarke rolls her eyes, "Geez, Wells, I respect movies you know. But I might need to cuddle her if I get scared."
"Ditto," Asami adds and Korra is turning into a puddle again.
"I can work with that."
The movie hadn't even started when Clare was already cuddling Lexa. Korra still doesn't know how she manages to be so straightforward. Bonnie, Raven, and Marceline were just stoked because they loved horror movies. Octavia wasn't so much of a fan but she was holding up just well. Finn was almost completely hiding behind Jake, and Korra could swear that Bolin was about to jump unto Mako's lap and cling to him. The rest of the boys looked alright.
"Are you scared?" Asami whispers into her ear making Korra jump slightly.
Asami giggles softly, "Yeah you are, come here." Asami lifts the seat's armrest and pulls Korra into a warm cuddle. Originally Korra wanted to be the one who cuddled Asami but she wasn't complaining about this.
Korra had to be honest; it was really hard to focus on the movie when Asami was so close to her. All she wanted to do was kiss her, but Wells said no kissing and this was technically his theater. That didn't stop Korra from snuggling closer to Asami, a gesture that made the taller girl smile.
She would be lying if she said she had seen the movie. All she knew by the end of it was that it was about some creepy clown, paper boats, and a boy in a yellow raincoat. She watched half of the movie and the other hour just looked at Asami's face in the dim lighting. Again, Korra wasn't particularly fond of horror films but if she got to cuddle Asami every time they saw one, then she'll sing up for all of them.
The movie ended and Korra waved her friends goodbye and then followed Asami to her car.
"You didn't even see the movie," Asami says with a sweet smile.
"I rather look at you than at that creepy clown. I don't care if Raven says she'd hit that." Korra replies and Asami laughs faintly.
Asami drives Korra home and when they get there they both get out of the car.
"Thanks, again for the ride."
Asami takes Korra's hand and pulls her in for a kiss. "You're welcome", she whispers against her lips.
Korra forgets how to breathe for a second before closing the small distance between them to kiss Asami again. The kisses between them so far have been all soft and sweet. Korra wants to kiss Asami in several different ways and several different places but not here in front of her house, where someone might see, so she slowly pulls away.
Asami looks upset at the loss of contact, and Korra can't deny that her pouty face is the cutest thing ever.
"Don't look so sad," Korra starts. "We'll have fun at the pool party tomorrow."
Asami's look goes from cute to dark. "You're right, see you then." She gives Korra one last peck before slipping out of Korra's arm and getting into her car.
Korra thinks she might've signed up for more fun that she can handle, but as Clarke always says: "the most exciting situations are those you can't control."
