Disclaimer: I do not own ATLA or LOK Characters. GAH! I AM ALIVE! What a brutal semester but I have a month off so I am hoping to fill it with lovely chapters for you guys. This one is really short but I figured you have waited long enough so you shouldn't have to wait for even a tiny chapter. Thanks for all your supportive messages while I was gone. Love to all my readers. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Korra woke several hours later still on the couch, her naked body covered in a blanket and her clothes folded nicely on the teacup free coffee table. She sat up and looked around the room, holding the blanket up to her chest to keep covered. Iroh was not in the room with her, in fact, neither were his clothes. A note rested on top of her folded shirt.
Had a great night and hope you slept well, I know I did. Went to an officers' meeting. Docking in Southern Water Tribe by nightfall.
~Iroh
Taking one last yawn, Korra curled up under the blanket taking in the smell of the General. Her eyes shot open. Wait….what? She sat up, clutching the blanket to cover her chest, though no one else was in the room. While she did consent to last night's events with Iroh, she did not consent to thinking about the smell, look, or taste of him in his absence. Her mind swirled with questions. Why did I agree to that? Sure he is nice…..and very, very sexy…..but that isn't the point! Oh Tui, I am such an idiot! Avatar Korra, the easiest Avatar there ever was!
She ran her fingers through her messed up hair. I should get out of here… and go die in a hole. What if someone sees me leaving? …What if Mako or Bolin see me leaving? Or worse… BUMI! Oh Tui no! The young Avatar quickly tossed the blanket to the floor and got dressed, putting her hair up in its usual style. She opened the metal door just a crack to check if the hallway was clear. No one was in site. Good. Korra pushed that door open.
CRRRRRREEAAAAAK!
Damn it.
"Well, hello there, Avatar Korra. Sleep well?" Korra's eyes widened. Bumi leaned against the metal wall, his left leg bent and a flowering twirling between his the fingers of his right hand. A sly smirk plastered across his face. He, in fact, had been waiting for her to come out of hiding. Korra's face went bright red.
"Ummmm…ha ha. It was… um nice. Yeah, but you know I just decided to get up early and walk around. I definitely didn't sleep in there if that is what you were thinking. Nope, not me. Just… you know stretching my legs and looking for the General. Ha ha." She awkwardly rubbed her shoulder and cleared her throat. Bumi had a mischievous gleam in his eyes and he stood up right before leaning close to the Avatar's ear.
"Oh, I am sure you got up early to stretch your legs, my dear." Korra blushed a deeper shade of red as Bumi let out a roar of laughter and turned to walk away, flower in hand. "See you around, Dad."
