Asami and 'Korrina' were walking side by side as Korra tried to think of a place where the two of them could hang. The options were very limited since Korra was broke. Korra was in deep thought that she didn't even realize that she was about to cross a busy highway until she felt Asami grab hold of her hand to pull her back to the sidewalk.
"Korrina!" Asami's heart was pounding as a car zoomed by them just missing Korrina by a few inches. The last thing she wanted was to get Korra's sister killed because she's a hundred percent sure that that will end her chances with Korra.
"You have to be more careful Korrina" Asami said as she tugs on Korrina's hand.
Korra furrowed her brows in confusion, not sure who Asami was talking to. As a result Asami also furrowed her brows. They both stood there for a couple of seconds looking at each other with confusion written all over their faces. Until Korra finally remembered oh right I'm Korrina!
Korra then stuck her tongue to play it off. Asami seem to have bought since she giggled.
"What's on your mind?" Asami asked.
"You" Korra said batting her eyelashes.
"What?"
Realizing what she had just said Korra tried to play it off again. "I was thinking about what you and I could do."
"Why don't we go shopping?" Asami suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Korra said shaking her head furiously.
The scene with blondie made Asami rethink her suggestion."Yeah you're right."
"How about you" Korra pointed at Asami "and me" Korra pointed to herself "go to an arcade!" Korra said when she spotted an arcade a few blocks from where they were. Korra knew that an arcade was a perfect place to take Asami since she was very competitive and so was she. Also there were racing games in there and it was on her budget.
"Sure" Asami shrugged "It's been while since I got to play games though so I might be a little rusty."
"Don't worry about it. Were just going to have fun."
As the two walked in the arcade they found that it was somewhat empty with an exception of a couple of kids hogging the racing games.
The two waited for it to become available so they played other games in the meantime and ate pizza. Asami found it very easy to talk to Korrina and was amazed at how they easily fell into conversation, it's like they've already met. Asami found it nice to have a girlfriend she can talk to, she was hoping to get closer to Korrina and this time it's not because she was trying to impress Korra. She genuinely wanted to get to know the girl better. Korrina was funny, interesting and was full of life also there was something about the girl that draws Asami in. To sum it all up she likes Korrina as a friend.
By the time the racing games were vacant Korra had won Asami a teddy bear. The two quickly made their way over to them.
"Hey Asami lets make a bet" Korra said as she placed two quarters in the machine.
"Ok."
"Whoever wins gets to buy the winner ice cream."
"Are sure you want to make that bet? I happen to be very good at this" Asami said with a cocky smile.
Korra just nodded and waited for the game to start.
When the game began Asami was on the lead. Korra at first didn't know which pedal the gas was as a result she was in 8th place. Korra however wasn't going to back down. Her face was set in determination to win and she also wanted ice cream.
At first it was purely incidental, Asami's hair was getting in the way so she flipped it back. Asami noticed Korrina take her eyes away from the screen to look at her. Then Asami saw that Korrina was sporting a huge blush on her face which Asami finds cute like Korra's.
Asami flipped her hair again. Why the fuck did I just do that? Not to make her blush again because I find it cute. Definitely not. I did it to distract her! I think?
"You're cheating!" Korra said pressing on the gas pedal harder.
"No I'm not. Plus I don't need to cheat you're in 7th place." Asami flipped her hair again.
Korra averted her gaze from the screen again to take a look at the exposed skin of Asami's neck. In doing so Korra ended up in the sand.
"Stop doing that it's distracting me!" Korra yelled as she tried to get out of the sand. "You know what? You're going to break your neck doing that. You'll see!"
Despite the warning Asami just laughed and flipped her hair again distracting Korrina again.
"Ahh!" Korra found her car in the sand again. "Fine two can play at this game." Korra flipped her hair but instead she ended up hitting her head on the metal seat.
"Ow!" Korra yelled in pain.
Noticing this out of the corner of her eye and actually hearing the loud bang, Asami took her hand of the wheel to check on Korrina.
"Oh my gosh Korrina are you ok?" Asami placed her hand on Korrina's head to check the damage, her face full of worry and concern. However when Asami looked at Korrina's face she was smirking and then Korrina burst out in laughing. Finally realizing Korrina's trick Asami quickly went back to her game to find out that she was dead last.
"You little punk!" Asami yelled and gave Korrina a shove on her side causing her to fall out of her seat.
"Hey! Now that's not fair!" Korra quickly jumped on Asami's lap to block her view of the screen.
"What the fuck! Korrina!You know you're losing right!" Asami yelped and tried to move Korrina but instead Korrina just straddled her lap. Korra didn't care about wining anymore she just wanted Asami to get a taste of her own medicine. Asami maneuvered her hand so she can hold the wheel while Korrina was on her lap. Asami blushed at the new position and contact. I blushed because it feels like Korra is on my lap.
"Korrina move!" Asami said as she tried to look over Korrina but Korrina just kept on blocking her. So Asami shoved Korrina's face to the side with one of her hand and kept the other on the wheel. Then she placed her chin on Korrina's shoulder to get a better view of the screen.
This send shiver down Korra's spine feeling Asami's chin on her bare shoulder. Not to mention one of her arms were wrapped around Asami's mid-section causing their bodies to mesh to together. Then there was Asami's hand that was pushing on the side of her face. It should feel uncomfortable to Korra but Asami's hand was touching her cheek and Asami's pinkie finger were on her lips.
Korra wanted to just kiss that beautiful, warm pinkie but that would be a bad idea. So instead she just used her other hand to poke Asami on the side. This caused Asami to yelp and jerk upward. Korra laughed at Asami's ridiculous reaction. Asami looked over at Korrina with fire in her eyes which caused Korra to gulp. Asami took her hand off the wheel to poke Korrina back and this went on for a few seconds both of them poking each other and laughing.
It sort of reminded Asami of when Korra and her had their tickle fight on the soccer field. Korrina had the same smile and laugh Korra had that made Asami's heart swoon. Asami couldn't help but find the girl on her lap to be adorable. Asami just wanted to take that face and kiss it. Wait what? Why would I want to kiss Korrina maybe because she's Korra's sister and they look alike or is it?
However Asami's train of thought was broken at the sound of the game ending. Korra looked over her shoulder while Asami peeked over Korrina's shoulder to find that she had crossed the finished line and ended up at 11th placed. The two looked at each other and began to laugh.
"Wow you guys suck!"
Both Asami and Korra turned their heads slowly to face the person who just insulted them. They found that it was that boy and his two friends who were hogging the racing game from before.
"What did you just say?" Korra said as she got up from Asami's lap. Asami was just getting used to Korrina on her lap that when Korrina was gone she felt a little empty.
"I said you guys suck!" the boy said spitting the words out.
"Nuh uh you did not just say that!" Korra said waving her hands. Asami arched a brow at Korra getting all ghetto. Asami didn't know that the girl had that side so she chuckled.
"You suck too, princess" the boy said looking at Asami.
"What?" Asami said putting a hand over her chest. Korra was fuming how dare they insult Asami like that!
"See this is why girls should just stick to their dollhouses and Barbie's."
Both Korra and Asami were taken aback at the statement that they look at each other before saying "Oh no you did not just say that!"
"Well I did weren't you listening or are you two just dumb!"
That was the last straw.
"Well listen hear little boi! This girl right here is smarter than you." Korra said gesturing to Asami. "See watch this. 1 plus 1 equals?"
Asami looked at Korrina questioningly because she's not sure what the answer is. There were plenty of times when she was a kid were her peers would ask her the same question and she would answer 'two' but the kids would just laugh at her and say 'no it's a window!'
Both Korra and the kids stared at Asami "Uh…two?" Asami said with uncertainty.
"YEAH! See that!" Korra said getting all up on the kids' faces. While Asami breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Korra took one of the kids' soccer ball to show them her skills. The kids and Asami were in awe at all the tricks Korrina was doing. It reminded Asami of when Korra was practicing soccer. When Korra was done showing off she threw the ball back at the kids and smiled cockily at them. They had just proven that girls and boys are equal.
"Well you still suck at racing." One of the kids scoffed.
"Let's play then!" Asami said sitting down and inserting coins in the machine.
The three kids huddled up to decide which one of them was going to play the game. They decided that it should be their leader, Mark.
"You can do this Asami. I'll be right here cheering for you" Korra said as she massaged Asami's shoulders, arms and hands. While their enemies did the same thing. Asami couldn't help but feel something as Korrina touched her. I felt something because Korrina's hands are very similar to Korra's.
As the race began it was clear that Mark has no chance. Asami has a huge lead and Mark was in third place. However Asami kept her guard up just in case Mark happens to catch up. Korra who was in the sideline was having a screaming competition with the two other boys and it was clear that Korra was louder than the two kids combined. Korra would also go up to Asami and wipe the sweat off her forehead and bring her water.
In the end Asami was victorious taking first place while Mark got 4th. His friend scolded him for not wining.
"Hey, good game" Asami said sticking her hand out. Mark shook it and congratulated Asami for winning fair and square. Asami had to admit that the kids weren't sore losers but Korrina was a sore winner.
"Yeah you see that. My girl is better than you!" Korrina was all up in the kid's faces again making weird hand gestures. Asami quirked an eyebrow at Korrina's choice of word but she didn't say anything thinking that what Korrina really meant was 'girls are better than you.'
Korrina then lifts Asami up and twirls her around, surprising Asami at first and then relaxing to it. Asami found Korrina's smile and laugh to be infectious. So she begins to wrap her arms around Korrina's neck to hug her and to celebrate their win. After being in the air for a few minutes Korrina finally let Asami down but their arms were still wrap around each other's bodies. The two smiled at each other getting lost in each other's eyes. Then they slowly leaned until one of the boys coughed. Asami quickly unwraps her arms from Korrina and took a huge step away from Korrina.
"I like guys" Asami said and the boys nod and walk away. Asami didn't know why she needed to say that. Maybe it's because she likes Korra but she knew that she was open minded since her mom was too.
BOOM! A bomb just went off in Korra's head and she felt numb. Like the life inside of her was suddenly drained out. That was Korra's fear, Asami was straight. There was no chance of Asami loving her as more than a friend, heck Asami might even be disgusted.
Asami smiles and turns back to congratulate Korrina but she was greeted with the most unreadable expression ever. It was like staring into a wall, there was nothing there but there was something behind it. It scared Asami for a moment because she only saw that look once and that was from her father when he just found out that the love of his life was gone. Asami thought that it might be because of the almost kiss. Korrina probably doesn't want to be friends with someone who is bisexual.
"Korrina?" and just like that the walls fell down and a mask replaced it.
"Yeah?" Korra said as she forced a smile.
"Congrats!" Asami pulled Korrina in for a hug but it felt different from the other hugs they shared it lacked any sort of feeling.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Asami said as she pulled away from Korrina to examine her face.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be? You just beat a bunch of kids up" Korra then forced another smile hoping that Asami would buy it.
"Ok then." Asami said still not believing Korrina. Asami didn't want to push the girl into telling her something she's not comfortable in sharing so instead she changed the subject and offered to buy Korrina ice cream for beating little kids up. Asami hoped that this will at least bring back the Korrina she knew a few minutes ago.
After walking for a while Asami knew that there was something wrong with how silent Korrina was and it scared her to death. Not because she wanted to make a good impression because she likes Korra but because she didn't want to lose Korrina as friend. After a day of spending time together Asami found out that she can be herself with Korrina and there were only a few people in her life she could do that with. So she'll be damned if she let this one get away from her.
"Did I do something wrong? Was is it the k…"
Korra quickly interrupted Asami when heard so much hurt on Asami's voice "What? Of course not. Why would you think that?"
"Because you haven't said a word and this not a comfortable silence. And if I did do something wrong please tell me so I can fix it. I'm not really used to this friendship thing, especially with a girl. I'm still new to it. And I don't want to lose you as a friend Korrina. I know we just met but I feel like we could be best friends." Korra saw that Asami was on the verge of tears.
"Hey you won't lose me. I'll always be your friend and if that's all I will ever will be then I'm ok with it" Korra hugged Asami and this time Asami knew that Korrina meant it because she actually felt it through the hug.
"I'll walk you home" They broke up apart but Korra kept their fingers intertwined. Asami leaned her head on Korrina's shoulder as they walked home. While Korra tried to fight the tears that were trying to come out.
After walking Asami home Korra went to a park to clear her head. She just needed to be alone. Korra sat down on one of the benches as she watched the sun go down.
"Hey Korra!"
Korra looked to her right to find Opal walking towards her "Hey Op…"
Smack!
Opal had just slapped Korra right on her face. Korra was in shock as she held her cheek. "Ow! What was that for?"
"For leaving me to clean you're mess up!"
"Yeah sor…" Before Korra could apologize properly she was thrown to the ground on a half nelson. Korra saw a blonde hair and she knew who was pining her down.
"Say uncle!"
"Uncle!" Korra yelled.
"That's what you get for messing with us!" Opal and Blondie did their little handshake slapping each other's hand, bumping elbow to elbow and finally ending it with a chest bump and a "What?" to Korra's face.
"See you tomorrow shopping buddy?" Opal said in her sweetest voice ever.
"You bet darling" Blondie said before flipping her hair and walking away.
"Ugh…" Korra grunted in pain as she watched the two leave her. Now her heart wasn't the only thing hurting her whole body was in pain.
"Korra?" Kuvira said as she spotted Korra a couple of minutes later. "What the fudge happened to you?" Kuvira said eyeing Korra. Kuvira then placed Korra's arm over her shoulder and slowly lifted Korra up to her feet.
"Hey Kuv I got us strawberry ice cream!" Baatar Jr. yelled across the park.
This caught Kuvira's attention and she instantly let go of Korra to go run over to her boyfriend. Korra then fell back on the ground and she grunted in pain as she made contact with the solid ground. "Ugh…"
As soon as Asami reached her room all she could think of was Korrina. How they had so much fun, how she almost lost her and kissed her friendly kiss. At first Asami thought that she only liked Korrina because she reminded her of Korra but as she replayed the day over and over again she began to conclude that she might actually have feelings for Korrina. Asami then began to imagine what would have happened if they had actually kiss and this caused Asami to blush.
Asami couldn't sleep as Korrina clouded her mind so she turned to her side and her eyes fell on the teddy bear holding a condom. Fuck! What Am I doing? Asami turned to look at the ceiling but she can feel the teddy bear's eyes on her. As if saying you're cheating on Korra with her sister! Asami groaned but I'm not because Korra and I aren't together yet. Asami smiled but then she frowned again but does that mean I want to be with Korrina? Asami was confused and there was only one person who can help her…
"Hey Bolin what's up?"
"Uh Asami it's like one in the morning" Bolin said groggily.
"Sorry, but I need your advice on something really important."
"Ok" Bolin said half asleep.
"So I met Korrina today…" Asami told Bolin her encounter with Korra's sister and how she's now torn between the two Hastings. By the end of Asami's story Bolin was fully awake, intrigued by Asami's dilemma.
"So you don't know who you like more?"
"Yeah I'm not sure. I mean I know I just met Korrina today but I feel like I've known her for like forever."
"Love at first sight then?"
"I…" Asami thought about it for a moment before coming up with an answer "to be honest I felt the same when I first laid eyes on Korra. Ugh why is love so complicated!" Asami threw a pillow across the room in frustration. "Bolin they're basically like the same person. Same humor, same smile, same personality, same dorkiness and just same everything. Except for you know…" Asami trailed off hoping Bolin would get what she's trying to say.
Thankfully Bolin did. "Yeah I know. So you like them both equally?"
"Yes" Asami said firmly.
"And their basically the same in every way."
"Yes."
"Then there's only one way to solve your problem. Which do you like more a taco or a hot-dog?" Bolin said as he tried not to giggle on his side of the line.
Asami furrowed her eyebrows in confusion "Seriously Bolin you're talking about food right now! I have a huge problem here!" Asami yelled through the phone not getting the food reference.
"No Asami! Not like that! In terms of anatomy which do you prefer? Hot…dog or ta…co" Bolin repeated his last comment with more emphasis on the hot dog and taco.
"Oh" Asami blushed finally getting it. Asami was taken aback by the question. She never gave it a thought, she always dreamed of a prince charming sweeping her off her feet, living in a castle she built, having a family and a happy ending. She always imagined that it would be a prince but she doesn't mind if it's a princess instead. As long as she loves the person gender doesn't really matter.
Asami closed her eyes and pictured her family portrait with both Korra and Korrina. Both portrait looks good and she wouldn't mind either one. However she noticed the difference, the kids. She knew that there are something things Korra can provide that Korrina can't. But we can adopt. Wait! Why Am I thinking about this? I'm too young to be thinking about a family. Stupid Hastings!
It was taking a while for Asami to answer which means that she was stressing about it so Bolin spoke "Well don't stress too much about it. You just met both of them, why not take the time to get know both of them more before making a decision? We're still young Asami, we have our whole lives ahead of us to figure out who we are and what we want. Take your time."
Asami smiled at Bolin's words. Bolin was right, Asami didn't need to rush love. If two people are meant to be together then they'll find a way to be with each other. "Thanks Bolin, you're the best."
"Your welcome, Asami and anytime. Goodnight Asami and sweet dreams" Bolin yawned before he hanged up.
Asami stared at the ceiling and took both the stuffed animals given to her by the Hasting siblings. Only time will tell who she would fall for. Asami hoped that when she woke up that her feelings will be a little clearer.
Today was the day Asami get to buy her first car. Asami's dad had dropped her off to pick whatever car she wanted no matter the price, the perks of being rich. Asami walked into the car dealership and two cars immediately caught her eyes. Asami approached the two cars and was entranced, they were beautiful. The two cars look very similar, their paint-job were of the same color, blue, they both have tan leather seats, and their engines were the same. Basically their exterior and interior were the same. The only difference was that one was manual and the other was automatic.
"Having trouble picking the right car, heh?" A man who happened to look like Bolin except with a mustache, walked up to Asami. "Hi my name is Nilob and I'm an employee here. I could help you choose the right car."
"Thanks but I think I can manage" Asami smiled politely and continued to look at both cars.
"Well just to let you know, both cars are very similar" Asami nodded, she already knew that "so the only thing that will help you choose is you're preference. If you like working with your hands and feeling in control of the vehicle then the manual one is for you. Lots of finger works" Nilob wiggled his fingers in front of Asami who just nodded again.
"Or if you're not into those kind of stuff then this one is for you." Nilob pointed at the automatic one "All you have to do is put the key into the ignition and ride it! No need to shift gears to get to the right speed. Also the gear shift on the manual one is smaller and slimmer than the other which is very thick and long. In the end both cars will get you to your destination but in a different way. Which way do you prefer?"
Asami placed her hand under her chin and weighted her options, this decision would change her life forever. It needs time and…
"Wait!" mustache Bolin whipped his body around to face Asami "I'm freaking rich! I could just have both!" Asami screamed joyously. Asami didn't need to choose when she has all the money in the world to buy basically whatever is it that she wanted and she wanted both cars.
Asami always believed what Biggie said in his rap was true "mo money more problems" but in this case money just solved her problem.
As the night went on Asami slept with a smile on her face because in her dream she rode both cars to euphoria.
Sometimes I question what's going on in my head. Next Chapter: Continuation of What if? #1 Double Date and probably the last what if?
