Another chapter of plotless fluff, mostly because I felt like writing some domestic Korrasami.
Korra was in lying on Asami's couch, reading some reports from the Earth States Tenzin had given her. Or at least she was trying to read. It was tedious and after seven pages of solid text the words were starting to blend together. She sighed, dropping the papers, getting up to pull the curtains opened.
It was a grey winter day in the city, low clouds blocking out the sun. in the distance the grey was tinged with yellow from the spirit portal. It wasn't snowing right now but a fall from the previous night had left a white blanket over the city. Korra and Asami had retreated to the mansion to spend the day together, but an hour ago Asami had gotten a call about some mix up in orders or something.
Korra had wanted to go, but Asami teasingly said she was avoiding her own work. It was true, Korra was looking for any reason to avoid her reports. So she'd begrudging agreed to stay home to finish reading, only for the promise of no mention of work for the day again once Asami came back home.
But that deal to finish her work was getting harder with each page. Who knew the changing political position of a nation would involve so much homework. She searched through the pile of papers on the coffee table, picking up a handwritten letter from the bottom of the stack. It was one of the letters she and Asami had received, specifically from the two moms. They had gotten so many beautiful letters, but this one was by far her favorite. It had her thinking that, maybe, someday she and Asami could have their own family.
The sound of a car engine made her look up. She smiled knowing it was Asami, jumping to her feet. Her smile turned wicked as an idea suddenly popped into her head. She ran outside, grabbing some snow in her hand. She packed into a small ball, hiding it behind her back as Asami came into view.
"Hey," she smiled, "Everything sorted out?"
"Mhm," Asami nodded, holding her arms open, "And as promised I'm yours for the rest of the day."
Korra placing her arms around her, hugging her close. The embrace lasted three solid seconds before Asami shrieked, pushing Korra away from her.
"Korra!" Her hands scrambled under her shirt trying to dislodge the snow Korra had thrown down her collar. Korra doubled over laughing. Asami shot her glare that went unnoticed so she scooped out a handful of snow and lobbed it at Korra, hitting the side of her face.
"H-hey," She laughed, looking up her hands for defence as more snowball were propelled at her face.
"You started it." Asami smirked when one snowball hit Korra's chest, the snow fall into her top. Korra yelped in surprise. She kicked up, making the snow at Asami's feet rise up like a wave. Asami fell backwards, landing on her butt.
"No bending." She cried, crossing her arms over her head to block Korra counter attack. Covering her head she ran for the front door, but Korra beat her to it, tackling her into the snow.
The impack knocked the air from both their lungs. Rolling over in the snow, they laughing through gasped breathes. Asami's hair was speckled with snow and their clothes were heavy with cold. They lay next to each other catching their breath.
"Thanks," Asami said sarcastically, "Now I'm all wet."
"If you're wet, we'll just take off your clothes," Korra wiggled her eyebrows. Asami slapped her arm, making Korra chuckled. Asami stood, holding her hand to help Korra up. Asami leaned forward, capturing her lips in a soft kiss. She wove her arms around Korra's neck, as the avatar's hands rested in her hips pulling her closer.
"Let's get out of the cold," Asami said between light pecks. Korra nodded.
Inside Asami slipped off her coat, shaking out her hair.
"I'm going to put on something drier, you get tea started."
"If you hadn't given your butler the day off he could have made the tea, while I help you change."
Asami smirked, kissing Korra's nose playfully, "But if I hadn't given him the day off, then he could have walked in while I'm doing this," She kissed Korra deeply, backing her against the walk. Korra's hands grasped behind her, looking some kind of support. One hand grabbed the edge of a table, and she leaned her weight on that, her other hand winding around Asami's waist.
But all too soon Asami's presence was gone. Korra blinked, a bit stunned. She saw Asami running up the stairs.
"Get the tea ready, I'll be right down."
Korra took a few breathes to help steady her feet before she actually went to the kitchen. The tea was still steeping when a pair of arms wrapped around Korra's waist.
"That was a very mean thing you did, just leaving me there," Korra said, leaning back against Asami. Asami chuckled softly, kissing her cheek.
"Consider it payback for dropping snow down my shirt."
Korra turned around and her eyes slowly roamed down Asami's form. She had changed into a large, thick, knitted, red pullover sweater. Her hands were just peeking out of the sleeves and the sweater fell so low it almost covered her short pants.
"Um…if you're feeling cold, I don't think that will cut it," Korra's eyes were trained on Asami's legs.
Asami chuckled leaning against Korra, "That's what I have you for," she smirked, brushing her nose against Korra's. Korra gripped her sweater, pulling her closer. Asami's lips brushed hers playfully, leaving a hairbreadth's space between them. It was still too much space for Korra so she closed the distance.
Asami's fingers slid under Korra's shirt, ghosting along her sides. Korra broke the kiss giggling.
"A-haha-Asami, stop, you know I'm t-ticklish there."
"Oh, I know," Asami smirked. Korra broke away, laughing uncontrollably. She darted around the island in the center of the kitchen.
"Come back here," Asami chased her. Korra ran around the room once, and out the door. She ran into livingroom, jumping over the couch. That's when she tripped over edge of the rug.
"Korra, are you okay?" Asami ran next to her, only to have her feet swept out from under her. She fell sideways on top of Korra. They stared at each other for a few moments before dissolving into fits of laughter.
Asami rested her head against Korra's shoulder, shaking with laughter. Korra gasped for air, tears in her eyes. Asami lifted her head, kissing the underside of Korra's jaw. Korra smiled, brushing her lips over Asami's forehead.
The whistling of the tea pot cut their moment short.
"I've got it," Korra said stealing a quick kiss.
"Thanks," Asami shifted so Korra could get up. She moved to sit on the couch, smirking when she saw the letter lying on top of the papers Korra was supposed to have been reading.
"I like how you did your work," Asami teased when Korra walked back into the room, carrying two cups.
"What? I finished reading the stuff Tenzin gave me." She handed her one of the cups. Asami just looked at her, "Alright, I read most of it." Asami arched an eyebrow. "Fine, I read some of it, but Asami it's so boring." She dropped next to her. Asami chuckled, putting up her feet across Korra's lap. When she took a sip of her tea she paused, looking at the cup.
"Sweetie, I think this is yours, it has way too much sugar."
Korra tasted her tea, "You're right, this one was meant for you." They switched cups.
Asami leaded against the couch cushions, smiling faintly.
"What is it?" Korra asked.
"I was just thinking."
"Oh yeah? About what?"
"How much I love you."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah," Asami leaned forward running her fingers through Korra's hair. Korra leaned into the touch, closing her eyes. Their lips had just brushed when the phone rang. Korra groaned.
"I swear, if that's the office again I'll melt the tires on your car."
Asami chuckled, "I'll get rid of them," She shifted to the edge of the couch to reach the phone.
"Hello…oh, hey Bolin."
Korra sighed happily when she knew it wasn't work calling for Asami again. She put her tea down and lay her head on Asami's lap. Asami wove her fingers in Korra's hair as she spoke with Bolin.
"We don't really have anything planned, we were just going to stay in…I don't know. I'll have to talk to Korra… I'll call back later and tell you what we're doing….Bye."
"What was that about?" Korra asked when Asami hung up.
"Bolin wants to know if we want to hang out with him, Shin and the others."
"Are they going out?"
"Yep, those three love the night scene."
"I was looking forward to spending the evening together, just the two of us."
"We don't have to go out,"
Korra reached up, taking Asami's free hand, playing with her fingers. "What do you want to do?"
"I want to be with you, doesn't matter to me where."
"Then let's stay in." Korra snuggled closer, enjoying the familiar feeling of Asami's fingers combing through her hair.
"That's fine with me," Asami closed her eyes, "I'm too content to move anyway."
Korra smiled, letting her eyes drift shut.
