Time skip.
After six months since their wedding, Korra and Asami were still living apart. Korra at the Air Temple island and Asami at her mansion. They were happily married and happily dating. This sequence of events might have been strange for some, but they were satisfied with it. After all, mixing things up was their thing.
.

Korra suggested to bring dinner. Asami should be walking out of work, so she decided to swing by that Fire nation restaurant Asami liked and take something nice and tasty. After that - straight to the mansion. They'll figure out what to do after the food.
Korra knocked at the door (yep, after few months of dating she still did that coming to her-own-home-in-a-way). Grandma Yin opened the door.
"Korra, dear! How are you? Asami is already here for some time, she's in the cabinet for some time. I think she's doing something there, if you'll ask me."
"Hello, misis Yin. Thank you. I'm sure you're right." - it was strange that Asami was earlier at home. Later - won't be such a surprise, but even then Asami would call to the island to let Korra know. Earlier - was a bit of surprise... Korra curiously and suspiciously walked towards the cabinet.
"What is it, wifey?" - Korra asked Asami with a clearly felt concern as she opened the doors and walked towards Asami. The engineer was laying on her back, eyes locked on the ceiling, but it seemed that she looked somewhere through it.
"Huh..?" - Asami thought she heard some kind of sound, but she wasn't able to clearly define it.
"Hey, are you ok? You seem to be drifting somewhere to a land far-far away." - Korra sat by her side and stroke her arm few times her other hand placed at the far side of Asami's waist.
"Yeah." - Asami gave Korra a quick look and brought back her eyes into the ceiling again - "I was just thinking."
"Think out loud." - Korra still kept her hands on Asami's.
"I... at dad's... at the office I found a picture." - Korra gave Asami few more reassuring, encouraging strokes. She didn't want Asami to forget that she was here for her. - "It was a picture of a woman, a man and a little girl" - Asami stopped a bit, took few shallow breaths and tried continued with that calm and kind of emotionless tone but her voice was starting to tremble - "It was a picture of my grandparents with my mom."
Korra flustered: "You never mentioned before your grandparents..." - she didn't knew what to say or what to do. This was something new. "But this should be happy news, right? Asami lost her parents, so grandparents should be good, right? Unless they died years ago in some tragic way..." - Korra thought to herself.
"I know. We used to visit them a lot when I was little, before my mom got killed. After that my dad just didn't want to go there. I don't know why. As if they just vanished from our lives. And we from theirs. Maybe they reminded him of my mom and this was too painful for him. It was hard not to see them. I remember asking my dad to go to visit them, but he said he had to work or had a meeting, or any other excuse. And after a while I forgot about them." - Asami looked into Korra's eyes terrified - "Korra, I forgot about my grandparents! My family!"
Korra quickly laid next-to-a-bit-on-top to Asami taking her into hard and tight embrace: "Hey! Hey! You didn't forget anything! They were just forced out of your life. You wanted to see them, right? So this means they were important to you. I bet you were important to them too." - Korra leaned back a bit so she would be able to see Asami and kissed the tip of her nose and then lips.
Even though Korra's action managed to ease Asami slightly, she still looked with horror in eyes, her body was shaking. Korra again tightened her grip around Asami.
"Let's try to find them." - Korra said firmly into Asami's ear.
Asami stopped trembling. The horror from her eyes transformed into shock.
"...what..?"
"Let's try to find them." - Korra repeated with the same confident tone and a hint of excitement.
"So it was true. She was indeed saying this..." - Asami thought.
"But... I don't even know if they're alive..." - the engineer said still without moving any other muscle than her mouth needed.
"It doesn't matter. Wouldn't you like to visit them? Dead or alive. They are a part of your family. I know a part of your current family that would love to meet them..." - her avatar had a small warm smile.
There were no traces of the horror that just seconds ago screwed her face.
"I love you." - Asami broke up. She started crying into Korra's shoulder - "I love you so much!" - she squeezed Korra so hard that it was hard for the avatar to breath.
"I love you too, Platinum-heart." - Korra kissed Asami's neck.
Asami chuckled through tears which started to slow down: "That's the strangest pet name I've ever heard."
"Why, thank you." - Korra fixed her position so she would be able to look Asami in the eyes - "I tried my best." - she added with her oh-so-pleased-with-herself tone.
Asami giggled: "You're impossible."
"Impossible to fix because I'm impossibly cute?"
Asami giggled again: "That too." - She pulled Korra for a deep kiss. Korra was laying fully on her. Asami tangled her palms in Korra's hair. Korra pushed her hands around Asami's back. Their tongs where dancing in the space where both of their lips met. It was a kiss that cleared Asami's head, relieved any doubts, stress or anything that wasn't calmness and peace.
"I don't know how you do it." - Asami said with a such a tone, that Korra wasn't sure if she intended to say this loud.
The master bender pulled the genius for a quick kiss to the lips. To the cheek. To the other cheek. To the nose. To the forehead. To left eye. To right eye.
"Do what?" - she finally found some time to ask.
"This!" - Asami had a happy, calm, middle sized smile - "It's so easy for you to make me smile, laugh. Feel at ease."
"I learned from the best." - another kiss to the lips - "And the smartest." - kiss - "Actually, to make it shorter, the -est in everything that's good and have a positive effect." - few kisses to the neck. Those made Asami inhale deeply and her heart dropped to her stomach. Her breathing was slow and deep. Her hands were slowly chaotically moving on Korra's back.
"Really?" - Asami's voice was low, slow, husky - "I want to meet that person. Could you arrange that? I promise to pay you back so you won't regret it." - Asami brought Korra's head up and placed a few kisses on her right jaw line.
"Hmmm." - Korra sunk into the touch - "Not sure if she would find the time. You see, she has a company to run and then there's me... Her day's are full"
"I put my trust in your persuasion abilities..." - her voice was still low, slow. Her hands gently and slowly stroke Korra's left side and whatever it met on it's way from her neck to her hips.
They exchanges few more kisses and settled down in each other's arms.
"So, when are we leaving?" - moments latter Korra asked Asami occasionally.
Asami looked down.
"Asami" - Korra took her chin and lifted so their eyes would meet - "It's going to be ok. We're going to find them."
Asami nodded slightly.
"Will the day after tomorrow be fine?" - she cautiously lifted her eyes to look at Korra.
"Yep!" - Korra slightly shouted enthusiastically.
"You sure you don't have some important avatar stuff to do?" - the engineer asked. She wanted Korra next to her more than everything, but she couldn't just be that selfish.
"I will be doing some important family stuff. Nothing can beat that. Besides, I was gone for three years - the world didn't collapse and Tenzin with the airbenders managed to deal with almost everything. I'm sure they'll be fine again." - Korra said to Asami and continued to herself: "There was Kuvira who helped them in the Earth Kingdom, but that's a different story. I came back to for one."
"Actually, if you remember that didn't turn out too well for the world..."
"We work out great, didn't we? I think it turned out the best possible way!" - Korra gave Asami a smirk.
Asami rolled her eyes: "It seems that no matter the topic, she will always find a way to make it about us. And I'm still not sure if that's a good thing."
"Thank you for doing this with me." - Asami placed her palm on Korra's cheek.
"I'm happy to do this." - Korra took Asami's face in between her palms - "And I can't wait to meet your grandparents." - Korra replied with more serious tone placing a light kiss.

Notes: I kind of imagine Korra being in that honeymoon stage all the time and wanting to tell Asami how great Korra thinks she is, so she does it on each possible occasion. And Asami being more grounded when it comes to just the two of them. The problem with this - it's a bit hard for Asami to have a serious discussion sometimes with Korra. On the other hand, that's a good thing in its own way. I also always wanted to meet Asami's grandparents. They should be about Toph age by now but still it would be interesting to meet them...
