On tumblr 'obsessionff' requested: Korra acts secretive/closed off, and Asami reaches the worst conclusion and thinks that Korra is going to break up with her. But in truth Korra was planning a surprise birthday party for her.
Sorry for no *spoiler alert* on it being a party lol
Also, so far I have a few more requests I have yet to respond to, so if you don't see yours yet, it's because when I get a request I add it to a list and just work my way down.
Thanks for everyone's amazing reviews!
Surprise
Asami entered her living room at the Sato Mansion and saw Korra sitting on the couch facing away from her. She snuck up from behind and threw her arms around her neck. Korra nearly jumped out of her skin and quickly closed the magazine she had open.
"Whatcha reading?" Asami asked as she kissed Korra on the cheek.
"N-nothing," Korra stammered.
Asami pouted and tried to take the magazine, but Korra brought it out of her reach and rolled it up.
"It's nothing, just some Pro-Bending stuff."
"Okay," Asami said uncertainly.
She pulled her arms back from Korra and came around to sit next to her.
"So, what do you want to do this afternoon? I don't have to go back to the office until tomorrow, so I'm all yours." She gave Korra a sly grin.
Korra scratched the back of her neck awkwardly.
"Well, um, I've already got plans with…uh..." she trailed off.
The smile on Asami's face faded and she raised an eyebrow.
"Bolin…Mako…?"
"Bolin, Mako! Yeah!"
Asami pursed her lips. "Oh, alright," she said a bit deflated.
The next morning Asami came down the stairs, ready to head off to Future Industries. She entered the kitchen to grab something small when she saw Korra duck back behind the kitchen counter.
"Uh, Korra?"
Korra froze and stood, looking at Asami with guilty eyes.
"Oh, hey Asami. Didn't see you there."
"Right…" Asami frowned. "Anyway, how was yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" she asked nervously.
"Yeah," Asami said, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "You said you were hanging out with Mako and Bolin."
"Oh! Oh, yeah, no I just thought you were talking about something else." She smiled awkwardly and rubbed her arm.
"Okay, well, I'm off to work. Will I see you later?"
"Uhm…Probably not, I've still got to finish some…things."
Asami looked Korra up and down. She seemed on edge about something, but Asami had no idea why.
"Bye, then," she said half-heartedly and pressed a quick kiss to Korra's forehead. As she exited the kitchen she glanced back at her girlfriend suspiciously, and Korra gave her a small grin.
What's going on with her? Asami wondered.
To Asami it felt as if the following days all shared the same pattern. She would wake up and Korra wouldn't be in bed, she wouldn't see her all day but maybe once or twice, and when she did see her, Korra always seemed nervous or in a hurry. What made Asami even more anxious was that when she would crawl in bed with Korra, she would already be sound asleep. Korra always loved snuggling up together before drifting off to sleep, but recently Asami had been missing the comfort of her embrace.
She's going to break up with me, Asami thought morbidly.
She laid her head down onto her desk and closed her eyes.
It's the only explanation for her behavior, she reasoned miserably. But what did I do?
Asami opened her eyes.
Or did she meet someone else?
She scrubbed at her eyes with the heels of her hands. Asami just wanted things to go back to the way they were before, when they were happy and stupidly in love.
I'll just confront her about it when I get home, she decided with little confidence. Asami almost didn't want to know why Korra was being so distant from her, but it would only drive her crazy if she didn't seek the truth.
Asami packed up to leave, dreading the conversation she would soon have.
She pulled up to her mansion and took a breath.
Whatever her reasoning, I'm sure it's valid, she tried to tell herself.
Asami took a deep breath and pushed open her front door. Inside it was dark, so she assumed Korra wasn't home from whatever it was she claimed she was doing. Asami took heart in knowing she could prolong their talk a little bit longer.
As she walked through the atrium, she turned on the lights. She entered the living room and felt the wall for the switch. The light flicked on and out of every corner of the room sprung up people shouting: "Surprise!"
Asami stumbled back, completely shocked. The people standing around her were some of her closest friends—Mako, Bolin, Tenzin and his family, Opal, Lin, and then she saw Korra, who was smiling the brightest.
She rushed forward to Asami, who looked like she could fall over at any second.
"Happy Birthday."
Asami looked down at her in confusion. "B-birthday?"
Korra's face was suddenly washed over in dread.
"Today's your birthday right? I was so sure I got it right."
Asami shook her head. "Yeah, it is my birthday. It just totally slipped my mind."
Korra was so relieved. "Oh, good!"
"C'mon, we've got cake!" yelled Meelo.
"And presents!" Ikki squealed.
"Wait, so that's why you've been ignoring me this week?" Asami addressed Korra as she was brought into the kitchen.
Korra shrunk back. "Yeah…I didn't want you to suspect anything."
Asami let out a breath that she had been holding all week.
"This whole time I thought you were going to break up with me."
Korra froze. "Really?"
Asami gave a dry laugh. "Really."
Korra took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"I'm not going anywhere."
