A/N: Hi... OMG I'm really sorry for not updating in forever, but stuff happens *Cough* WRITERS' BLOCK *Cough*, and all that jazz. Anyways if you're actually reading this and stuck around for it, I'm ever so thankful for you, and if you're seeing this later and are new to this fic, than I'm thankful that you're even just taking the time to read my writing. I've planned for there to be one chapter left on this one sooo yeah... oh and I'm also really getting into the planning of my next Korrasami fic. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAPPY READING :D.

I sat in the cafe tapping my fingers on the table as I waited for Kuvira. I had called her earlier today to meet up so I could talk too her about Korra and I, and I felt pretty anxious now. My head actually popped up from my drink every time I heard the door open or any other kind of alerting sound.

When I heard the door open for like the 50th time my head still shot up, and this time I was met with what I've been so anxious and jittery for. As Kuvira made her way over to me I gave a small smile trying to calm my own nerves.

I wasn't so sure why I was so nervous to tell the truth. I mean I was only going to tell Kuvira to keep her knowlege of Korra and I on the down low...

"Hey," she said as she took her seat across from me. I only responded with a small nod, not sure if my voice would do me any good, and I'm pretty sure this wasn't the best decision of a greeting because we kinda just looked at each other for a good few seconds. It was really awkward and uncomfortable, and I was glad that she sweeped away some of it when she cleared her throat. "I'm assuming you called me over because of you and Korra," she raised a brow for my confirmation.

I took a small sip from my drink, and nodded before clearing my voice in hopes my voice would work. "I don't think we're ready yet," was what I said, but as soon as it rolled over my tongue I felt the smallest hint of anger flow over me. We weren't ready for what? Was the rhetorical question that throbbed at a small corner of my brain, but I didn't ponder on it much at the moment.

"You guys don't have to worry about me telling," she gestured to herself, "but if you wanna keep it on the down low, you guys shouldn't make it so obvious," she pointed to me with a small smirk.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked.

"Well I guess the hand holding part was," she raised a brow.

"You saw tha-"

buzz Kuvira pulled out her phone, and looked at it with a scrunched face. "Sorry, but I gotta meet up with Baatar for a last minute thing," she gestured with her phone in hand, and was already getting up to leave.

"uh okay," I said taking another sip of my drink my eyes widened by the sudden turn of things.

As she walked off, she abruptly turned on her heels, "Oh, and yeah, I did see it," she said with a smile as she sauntered out through the door.

She laughed at me, "You're such a nerd," Korra smiled.

I had grease all over me, and wiped most of it off my hands with a rag. I smiled back at Korra because it was so true. I had just got finished working on one of my dad's cars, and had ranted on and on to Korra about engineering. I'm pretty sure she didn't understand any of it, but at least I knew she was listening when she made noises to describe her confusion. I thought it was really cute.

"Yeah, but I'm your nerd," I smiled, "Come on let's go watch some netflix or something," I said as I threw the rag on one of our work tables.

"Sure," she quickly pecked me on the cheek causing me to smile widely as we walked into the house.

While we got closer to the living room I hugged Korra tightly, "I'll go clean up and change first, k," I said letting her go and veering off to my room.

As I cleaned up the rest of the grease off my arms and changed into some sweats, I couild feel the smallest hint of anger; the same one I felt earlier. Why did Korra and I have to be ready? I mean what for exactly. I shook my head. Everything will come out eventually, I told myself. Just live in the moment; be with Korr-

"Hey-," Korra popped her head in, and it immediately tinted pink against her dark skin. I smiled...then remembered I still wasn't wearing a shirt. I looked down. "Sor-"

"It's fine," I said lifting my head. "I mean we change next to each other everyday in gym anyways," I took a t-shirt and pulled it over my head. "Whadya need?" I asked making my way over.

"I uh, uh just was wondering what show or movie you wanted to watch," she stumbled scratching the back of her neck like she always did when she was nervous.

"Let's just watch some Disney movies," I said standing close to Korra.

"Sure," she said embarrassed.

I smiled, "Sure," I repeated pulling her closer and pecking her on the nose. I pulled away only to see her bright eyes. She was smiling widely and the pink tint was still visible on her cheeks. She was unbelieveably cute...like how was it humanly possible to be on the level of cuteness she was on. I didn't think it was, so I created the new level; Korra cutenss level 9000. "You're so cute," I said closing the space between us with my lips against hers.

I laid myself against Korra as we watched Finding Nemo. I was glad my dad was off on a quick business trip today, but at the thought of this my anger made itself known again. It was just annoying me like a fly buzzing around your food. I tried to snuggle myself deeping into Korra, but to no avail did I get too cozy in any one spot, so I quite and laid my head in her lap.

"Not comfy?" she asked with a closed smile and worried countenance. I responded in a quick hum. She reached down and kissed me on my forehead.

I'm not sure how she did it, but she made my heart race, and made me just feel amazing. I wish I could stayed there.

Korra snuggled me closer, and we stayed like that while we finished Finding Nemo.

I lied down on my bed after Korra had left, and I had gotten all ready for for bed. My mind wondered as usual, but now when it wondered to Korra I let it, instead of trying to denyin g it... OMG Korra+Me= unreal, but real... Like I still couldn't really believe it.

It's real though, and I'm in love with the fact that it is...So why did I have to do it in secret?

I woke up the next morning feeling renewed and better. Before I had fallen asleep last night I had come up with subtle solution so my panging anger. First thing was that I had to make it obvious I had a thing with Korra, but not to obvious, just so that people will notice us. After that they might ask, and we could totally come out.

Seemed pretty simple, right? huh huh, not with me. I was plain awkward around everyone at school.

"Hey you," Korra shoulder bumped me as I got to the bus stop.

I literally couldn't believe how cute she could be. I mean she was only wearing jeans and a hoodie, but she managed to just kill me (plus her legs looked hot in those jeans)

"Hey yourself," I bumped her back embarrassed at my own thoughts.

She smiled, and we looked at each other for a moment. Moments like those were the ones I cherished because it was like I had died and gone to heaven because Korra's eyes were so amazing. Sometimes I wondered how it was possible to conceive such a human being.

I internally smiled at myself because I just knew how much I was falling for Korra.

The bus arrived and we took our seats. Every conversation we had pretty much went like our greeting. She would say something then I would say something, and everything after that would be me day dreaming about her and stuff.

Like when the whole krew was just enjoying lunch and talking, I was to busy thinking about Korra, and how to execute my plan, so when they all captured my attention after a few minutes of quietly yelling my name, I responded, "Korra," out of the thought of her, and they all just kinda looked at me like...? I'm pretty sure my face painted itself nearly red, looking at Korra who's head veered to the side as if something else had caught her attention.

After that awkward event I tried to not let my mind wonder too much, but failed dramatically. When we finished eating we went out onto the soccer field to just hang, and of course Korra just had to star dribbling the soccer ball. Before I knew it I was completely over smitten just watching her goof around with Bolin and the soccer ball. Like did I mention how hot her legs were?

"You should shut your jaw," Kuvira pushed my jaw up even though it was closed.

"Mm?" I turned to her questioning her with my eyes.

"I can see your googly eyes from a mile away, Sato," she said nodding her head towards Korra. "I think you guys should just tell everyone already. I mean I would seem easier if you did," she paused, "especially for you," she smirked raising her ever so on point eyebrows.

I was quiet surprised at her words, but only because... they were so true. Telling everyone would totally be easier, so then I could cuddle my cute Korra anytime I wanted to...so why not?

After lunch was over I went through my classes asking myself, why not? Classes seemed to pass super slow, but I'm pretty sure that was only because all I could really think about was Korra. Classes literally were like, Korra this, Korra that, oh did you know how cute Korra is, Korra everything pretty much.

I'm not sure if it was a bad or good thing that Korra and I had gym together, and were locker buddies. I literally used like 99% of all my will power to not stare at her... the other % were little glances, but nothing more. I mean I was trying to seem normal all day, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't working because Korra was pretty much just driving me insane.

As we made our way to role call I took steady breaths trying to calm myself down, and prepare myself to see Korra work out... I hope glances aren't obvious to everyone because that was an agreement I reached with myself. Glances are okay, just don't stare...

"Everything alright?" Korra tapped my arm as we stood next to each other during gym. "You didn't say much at lunch today...besides, you know."

I felt embarrassed at the thought it. "I'm fine," I saide with a closed smile.

She took my shoulder in a reasurring grip," mmk."
