Letting out a controlled breath, Korra raised her chin above the bar before slowly lowering herself down. She huffs before repeating this movement a few more sets. By the time she was tired after a heated burn, she took a quick shower before putting on her clothes for the day: a white tee and some ripped black jeans.
Once she made it over to the kitchen, she started her regular routine by making a pot of coffee with their siphon coffee machine. After it starts dripping, she proceeds to cook breakfast: some scrambled eggs, belgium waffles and an assortment of fresh fruits. When everything was mostly nicely plated, she finally headed up the stairs into their open loft bedroom. Soon enough, she chuckles softly before climbing on top of her beloved.
"Baby…" she places her hands on each side of her sleeping face, "Wake up."
Asami was still sound asleep, cuddled into a soft ball on her side, breathing soundly and deeply away. Korra tucks that stray strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear before fully crawling onto the mattress, pinning her lover down before resting half of her weight on top of her. Asami only twitches slightly with a groggy groan before wiggling in discomfort.
"Sami… Samiiiii~"
Korra began scattering soft kisses all over her cheek and neck. Asami twitches again and is somewhat coherent before grumbling and refusing to open her eyes. She ignores Korra's advances before sinking into the mattress even more. Then, being the wonderful and annoying girlfriend she was, Korra hugs her tightly before smothering her in affection.
"Baby come on, wake up, the food's gonna get cold."
Not exactly. Korra knew this was gonna take a while so the waffles and eggs were staying warm in the oven.
"Urgh…" Asami groans before letting out a deep and dissatisfied grunt. "Nngh… five more…" she breathes several deep breaths before eventually huffing out, "hours…"
"Pfft—" This never gets old. Smiling, Korra trails her lips up the nook of Asami's neck, right where her jawline and ear was. She then softly nibbles her earlobe before pressing soft kisses into her pulse. "Come on baby… I made your favorite waffles~"
"Mmrgh…" Asami's eyebrows crease even more and she lazily slaps Korra's arm in annoyance. She helplessly tries to pull the blanket over her head, which was weighed down by Korra, before giving up and rolling around even more. Her face was planted in the pillow at this point and she sunk down even more, meaning that her hair was sprawled out all over the bed.
Amused by this dark void of a body, Korra rests all of her weight on Asami's body. She then rests her chin on presumably the crown of Asami's head before mumbling out, "Babe. Babe. Babe. Baby. Babyyyy. Wake up. You're gonna be late for your shoot."
She could hear Asami's breathing get more fuller, meaning she was somewhat awake now.
"Come on hot stuff, those blueberries aren't gonna eat themselves." Korra starts swaying her body left and right to annoy her sleeping princess. "You know you want my goods."
Asami wiggles her foot before shifting slightly. She was starting to get annoyed by Korra's gestures.
"Samiiii~ Asamiiiiii~ the best actress around, Asami Sato, my one and only girlfriend and best friend, Asami Sato, earth to my love~" Korra practically sings in this sweet yet annoying voice.
The actress finally lets out that annoyed groan before rasping out. "Stop being corny…"
Korra smirks in victory. "I will when you wake up."
"No."
"You wanna feed Naga and your new son for me?"
"No."
"Then will you at least give me a good morning kiss?"
"..."
After a second, Asami huffs deeply before rolling over to face Korra with that lovely yet annoyed and sleep deprived face of hers. She then grumbles before leaning up and of course, the moment she does, Korra teases her by leaning back up.
"Ah ah ah, you gotta work for my lips babe." She taps her lips with her index finger.
"..."
Asami's eyebrows crease even more in annoyance before leaning up to chase after Korra's lips. Giggling in playfulness, Korra did her thing and began leaning back bit by bit before eventually, by the time Asami finally had a chance to kiss her lips, her back was against the bed. With a miserable sigh, Asami grumpily pins Korra against the bed before leaning down to kiss her lips.
Korra finally gives her that shit eating grin of hers before saying, "Morning beautiful~"
Completely not amused, the actress looked as annoyed as ever with her half lidded eyes before deadpanning. "I hate you."
Korra only giggles before saying back, "Love you too~"
Asami groans before letting out a pitiful huff. She lazily plops back down and sinks in Korra's chest while Korra sits up at the same time, not letting her lay back down. Never really knowing why, she honestly was never good or even decent at waking up in the mornings to the point that she was truly thankful that Korra never broke up with her sometimes.
Let's face it, she was garbage at waking up and that was an undeniable fact.
Korra kisses her cheek before easily hoisting her up by her thighs and getting them both out of bed. With Asami still knocked out in her lover's hold, she breathes in Korra's freshly showered scent as they descend the stairway. It wasn't until Korra swung by the sink and handed her some mouthwash that she finally budged an inch. Several annoyed grunts and piercing glares later, Korra plops her down onto the chair at the kitchen island.
"You want just one or two waffles today?"
Asami only grunts in response. She truly was miserable in the mornings.
"One gotcha."
Korra slides over a sweetened iced mocha coffee with a nicely plated waffle, scrambled eggs and fruit assortment in tow. She cracks the fridge open before pulling out a homemade tube of whipped cream and shakes it like a barista before spraying a generous amount onto her coffee and waffle.
"Honey and or chocolate or maple syrup?"
Her head bobs up and down again as she struggles to remain conscious. "Mmph…"
"Honey it is."
Heading over to the pantry, Korra grabs the chocolate syrup before staring at the selection of honey and deciding to go with the lavender infused one. Grabbing that jar off the shelf, she drizzles a generous amount onto the waffle before pushing it in front of Asami's space. She then does the last finishing touch and squeezes some chocolate syrup on her iced mocha before sliding it over.
"Bon appétit."
With a heavy and annoyed expression, she sloppily grabs the fork before raggedly cutting a piece and shoving it into her mouth. She munches on it with her eyes closed before mindlessly popping another into her mouth. Sure enough, after she consumed some caffeine, she was more functional to at the very least not eat like a drunken zombie.
By the time this dysfunctional human finished her meal and drink, Korra was done washing the majority of the dishes from their breakfast. Just as she was washing the last dish in the sink, Asami slides in closer before wrapping her arms around her lover's toned waist. She buries her face into Korra's neck before mumbling:
"Morning beautiful."
At that more coherent voice, Korra smiles as she finishes scrubbing out this tough stain. "Morning baby, did you like the fruits? They were apparently freshly picked from a farm in the Southern Air Temple."
"Mmh… they were amazing." She hums in delight before planting firm kisses on Korra's neck.
Korra starts rinsing the plate, "Oh when did you say that reunion special was taking place again?"
Asami begins squeezing Korra tighter while softly kneading her abs. "Mmh… maybe this Thursday?"
"Maybe?" She laughs softly before turning slightly to face her eyes. "How do you not know—"
A soft meow catches their attention.
"Oh."
They look down to see their son, "Are you finally awake buddy?"
Kallisto meows again before softly running across the floor. He brushes past Asami's leg before being caught by Naga and gets picked up by his scruff. As he dangles in her mouth, Naga gives her moms the 'look' before carrying away her baby brother.
"..."
Both Asami and Korra watched as she carried him away before they gave each other this look. Korra cracked first.
"Pfft—" she starts laughing, "W-What was that!"
Asami smiles humorously before nuzzling into her girlfriend.
"Mmh, don't know but it looks like his highness is getting it handed to him."
Korra's laughter slows down to a soft chuckle, "I guess so." She flips around and dries her hands with a kitchen towel with Asami still holding onto her by her hips before starting, "So…"
Asami kisses Korra's shoulder, "So?"
"I actually can't watch over the kids today. There's gonna be some loud machinery and I have to oversee the construction so I don't want Naga getting hurt or feeling left out. Plus our new boy shouldn't be left alone for too long so… I was wondering if you wanted to babysit the kids today? Oh! And before you start with Kallisto, I feel like he's totally a mix. Definitely adventurous and like part tiger or something. He doesn't give an F about anything and may or may not have attacked a passing small bird…"
Her light green eyes widened from shock. "Wait he what? Attacked a bird?"
Korra gives her this awkward look which said 'don't ask' so she didn't.
Asami hums before taking a step back to search for her phone. She couldn't help but mumble to herself as she did so though. "He really is crazy like the crown prince…"
Clearing her throat, she finally answers Korra's question. "I'd be happy to but let me check with Opal to make sure the site is going to be fine with the kids." She quickly heads up stairs and grabs her phone off the nightstand and sends a text before joining Korra on the couch. Luckily it doesn't take too long for their friend to respond.
"Opal says we should be in the clear so I'll take them."
"Perfect!" Korra sits back up before speed walking around in their living room. "Let me go prepare their carry-on bag."
Asami raises a brow, suspecting her girlfriend is on a tight schedule before following after her. "Babe, don't worry about it." She stops Korra by her forearm, "Just go on ahead and leave first alright. You're busy today aren't you? I can do it, I'll still have some spare time after a shower until Opal comes."
Scrunching her nose, Korra frowned slightly. "You sure love? Aren't you still tired from yesterday? You worked for like the whole day and then only had maybe four and a half hours of sleep after playing with Kallisto all night long."
"Don't worry about it." She starts pushing Korra towards the door, "I'll be fine. Your breakfast was more than enough to jump start my day." To be honest, she was a little tired but she's done much more on less sleep before so who's counting?
"But—"
Asami grabs Korra's keys and wallet off the cabinet. "Just go, don't be late."
Korra pouts with one foot out the door. "B-But— why are you so pushy toda—"
Quickly kissing her lips, Asami slaps Korra's ass. "Love you, bye~"
"I—"
She shut the door in cold blood before turning around to face Naga. Naga pants while wagging her tail before Asami ruffles her head.
"You're such a good girl~" she cooes before cupping her face, "Taking care of Kallisto so well, he's lucky to have a good big sister!"
Naga barks happily before woofing softly.
"Your mom forgot that today was the anniversary day she got one of her best sponsors'! I know she doesn't care too much but I owe your mom a lot so I have a little surprise planned for her. Do you wanna help mama and come with me to work today?"
She barks once again as she excitedly nudged Asami's hands.
"Ohh you're such a sweet girl, thank you! Come on, let's go prepare our to-go pack!"
Naga races Asami to their pet room, which she wins of course, before the actress grabs one of the smaller duffel bags. After a moment of staring at it, she hums in deep thought before grabbing a slightly bigger one.
"Our lil' prince might get antsy in a small bag."
She proceeds to pack a soft blanket inside before placing a few kitten friendly snacks inside.
"Naga, did you wanna go get your brother?"
Naga barks before running outside so, while she waited, she grabbed a few treats and snacks for the kids. It didn't take like for her furry friend to return with Kallisto sitting on top of her head this time. Asami smiles at the cute sight before swinging the bag over her shoulder.
"Alright, just got to shower real quick and off we go my loves."
A happy woof and a kneading kitten would've never seen the mess that was about to unfold.
xXx
"Okay… I'm not gonna lie, Kallisto is so cute! What the heck!" Opal says in disbelief, "I've never seen a dog, well besides Naga, let alone a kitten be so…so adventure happy." She concludes while waving a feathered stick back and forth.
Asami simply chuckled. "See, I'm telling you Kallisto was the perfect name for him. He's probably the odd ball of his litter and is possibly a blood craving little monster!"
"You're kidding." She swipes the stick to the left before taunting it in front of his face.
"Nope." She pops the 'p' for dramatic effect before continuing, "Korra gave me that look and said that he may or may not have killed a bird…"
"What?! Hm, hmm… dangerous… as expected from our royal highness. Cute yet deadly."
Asami laughs in agreement. "Right? Anyways, how's that project going? Has the manufacturing process been delayed somehow?"
"Ah yes," Opal pulls out her phone to confirm with multiple emails, "It looks like there's a bit of a shortage of one ingredient for the face mask but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It looks like it won't delay the grand opening."
"That's good then. Keep me posted if they have any other troubles."
Opal looks at her before saluting playfully, "Yes boss!"
A staff member finally interrupts them. "Miss Sato, we are ready."
Asami looks up from her seat before replying, "I understand thank you."
At that note, Opal stops playing with the very enticed Kallisto before standing up. "It's a shame Bolin couldn't come, he would've loved taking the behind the scenes pics here. We're finally at the beach for once." She starts luring him towards the duffel bag with the feather stick.
The actress flipped her hair over the shoulder before taking off her robe. "Last time he took that behind the scenes at my photo shoot, Korra was kind of in the shot…"
"Don't worry!" Her friend starts pushing her out of their makeshift tent, "Korra's always barely there in the background! She's literally been in plain sight for such a long time so unless someone's hunting for korrasami, they ain't gonna find out! Besides, most people ain't gonna put two and two that that person is even Korra! She's always wearing a mask and cap so you're fine sweetie."
"But—"
"Come on, I think Naga is excited to join you for today's shoot."
On cue, Naga trots back from wherever she was. She quickly checks on her brother, who is now back in the duffel bag munching on some snacks, before excitedly chasing after Asami. With her tail furiously swiping back and forth, she barks a few times, signalling that she's ready for her mama. Asami faintly registers some 'awws' before shaking her head softly.
"Okay okay girl, come on, let's take some good photos so we can show mom later!"
Naga happily barks once before following Asami deeper onto the beach. Once they were in position, the actress couldn't help but hear some of the staff's whispers about how cute her dog was and how much of a great addition she was. Rightfully so, her fluffy self added more life onto the set and easily mingled with her mama as she gracefully walked along the beach side. With the additional playful shoots and head scratches, she was making this photo shoot session pass by swimmingly well.
Being one of her greatest prides and joys next to her beloved girlfriend, Asami was enjoying herself more than she usually did at work. She was reminded of how free spirited and fun shoots can be if given the right situation. That and the only other advantage her daughter ever had over her girlfriend. She had a much easier time being shown in public by her side compared to Korra and she wasn't going to lie, not having to hide her relationship with someone who was a big part of her life was extremely relieving. The public knew:
Naga and Kallisto were her pets.
Opal was her assistant.
Bolin was her publicist.
Mako was a close friend (and also apparently her 'boyfriend').
So, where did that leave Korra?
The one and only reigning archery champion representing Republic City. Her one and only girlfriend who's basically her wife at this point after how long they're been together. Sure, suppose she can release to the public that Korra's an old college friend, which she had done in fact, but then if they were spotted in public the amount of time they spent with another, that'd indefinitely raise some flags.
Even if Korra was technically well known in retrospect and in her own regards, Asami didn't want her to get hounded by the public just because she was dating this 'famous' actress. She was so much more than that label but the media would never allow it. Not to mention the fact that she was in fact a woman and not a man. The possible back lash and negatively they'd receive was more than Asami was willing to bargain for so that's why their relationship is a so-called secret.
An open secret actually.
All of the people she knew and cared about, her closest friends, knew about them. As her mind wandered off with these worrisome thoughts, she was fine with their setup but after experiencing the outdoors with Naga, she remembered the instances of loneliness she has had to endure here and there. The times she'd have to walk alone down the red carpet, the times she was alone at congratulatory parties and even the times she's had to walk down fashion expos time and time again. This made her half wonder if she could ever be this free to roam around with Korra by her side.
A soft whimpering brings her back to reality.
With Naga licking at her hand, Asami bends down to cup her cheeks. She was aware that the cameras were still on her and that they were still in the middle filming this upcoming swimwear release. Giving her daughter a soft smile, she leans forward to kiss the top of her head.
"Thank you girl," she starts in a whisper, knowing she was being watched. "I'm okay. Just a little lonely, that's all." She scratches her cheek lovingly before looking off to the side.
Soon enough, she stands up tall and the wind blows at her as if it was on her side, trying to comfort her. Asami closes her eyes, taking in the fresh breeze before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. There were a couple of soft gasps and some of the younger staff awed at how beautiful she looked. No matter though. Even if she wasn't fully in the mood, no matter what she did, even if she tripped, she'd probably make the headlines for whatever reason again. The CM shooting ends shortly after in a flash. By the end, she breathes in softly before somberly saying:
"Thanks for the hard work."

Asami tries to end the last greetings as soon as possible before finally heading over to Opal's side. For some reason, Opal left about half way shortly after her shooting began. She assumed it was because she was checking up on Kallisto but that didn't stop her worries since she never came back. Meaning… something was either wrong or troublesome.
"Come on Naga, let's check on Kalli."
She barks before running ahead of her.
After the actress catches up to the foot of their tent, what she wasn't expecting hits her. Quite literally too. Her eyes widen before the next thing she sees makes her heart almost drop.
"Oh my spir—"
Naga starts barking at Kallisto, who had apparently somehow climbed the tent before crashing down from the ceiling. A wild meow sounds off before a fluffy belly smacks down onto her face. Kallisto hisses while scampering around before Asami somehow manages to grab a hold of his small body without getting scratched.
"What in the—"
She pulls him back just enough to look at him before Kallisto wails uncontrollably before clawing and scratching Asami's neck.
"Ow! Fuck—"
With a displeased frown, the actress quickly grabs his scruff before holding him up.
Her assistant gasps. "Oh my gosh Asami, your neck, you're bleeding!"
Eyeing him intensely, Asami brought his cute yet feisty self to eye level. As he hangs there all small and wild, she spares Opal a glance before saying:
"Where do I even begin?"
Opal laughed nervously, as she cracked open a first aid kit. "Please don't ask."
She glares at her friend for a hot moment before sighing. "Fine."
With a breath of relief, Opal pulls her friend to the side. "Come on, let's get you bandaged up. Bolin said he was gonna grab Mako from the airport and asked if you wanted to come along for an impromptu welcome home surprise."
Asami sits down and places Kallisto onto her lap while still holding his scruff. She mindlessly rubs his head before looking towards the ceiling so Opal could treat her wound. "Will we make it in time for the meeting back at the office?"
She peaks at her watch, "Yeah. We have about four hours of down time until we have to be there and still have plenty of time to pick up that thing of yours."
Wincing at the stinging sensation from the disinfectant, Asami thinks about it for a second. "I'm not sure… I kind of wanted to meet up with Korra for a quick lunch or something."
Opal smiles at her predictability as she applies some ointment. "That's what I thought too so I texted Korra in advance to see if she'd be free. She basically said she was gonna be pretty busy so she'd feel bad to waste your time so go ahead and meet up with Mako."
Asami let out a soft sigh before she finally let go of Kallisto's scruff and began scratching his head. He attempted to jump away at first but quickly eased in and sunk onto her lap. After a moment, he starts purring blissfully.
"In that case, let's go meet up with him."
"Cool!" Taking a step back, Opal takes a power pose. "I'll let Bolin know then, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to make your masami stans crazy."
The actress rolls her eyes. "Is that really necessary? I felt like Mako was gung ho about announcing his relationship with Akemi so I wouldn't be surprised if that happens out of the blue."
Her assistant simply shrugs. "I guess so but Bolin says it's really good rapport for the reunion special. A lot of our viewers apparently watch the drama for your guys' dynamics. You'd be surprised by how many people like the idea of you two."
"Really?" She leans back in her chair, "And why's that?"
"Mmh… well, you've starred on a few shows together."
"We have but that's not that uncommon in this industry."
"Yeah that's true but the thing is…" she starts gathering their equipment before deadpanning. "You're both hot."
Asami rolls her eyes with a light scoff before Naga finally gets jealous of Kallisto and comes in, nuzzling her nose between her mama's legs for some cuddles. She smiles warmly before mindlessly using her other hand to scratch her canine's ear.
Rolling her eyes sarcastically, she jokes. "Oh I never would've guessed."
"Definitely. That and also the fact that you've been friends since college."
An eyebrow went up. "And what does that have to do with us being together?"
"You're kidding? Your ship all started way back in the day ever since you debuted as a background character for Mako's first big role. A crack ship as you'd call it and it doesn't help that apparently people also started digging around after they found out you went to school with each other. I believe it was something about those old school pictures we uploaded on those forums back in the day."
Asami immediately cringes at that note. "Oh spirits no…."
"I know," Opal states in an equally spine shivering manner. "Hopefully they won't dig too deep and find the ones with you and Korra." She chuckles upon recollection, "I swear Korra's hands never left your skin even for a second."
"Hey!" She stands up with Kallisto in tow sitting on her palm, "That's not true and you know it!"
"Yeah yeah yeah," her friend dismissively swats her hand, "I clearly remember Korra was always 'Asami this' and 'Asami that' and 'oh Asami!' all the time so don't even try to lie to me honey. We all went to school together. Geez come to think of it, we're so lucky you two didn't room together. Phew, I don't think we couldn't deal with you two."
Asami grabs a tissue before bunching it up and throwing it at her assistant. "Yeah yeah, why don't you hurry it up. Bolin's gonna be mad if we're late."
Opal snickers in victory, "There she goes again being in denial."
The actress only groaned in frustration before grabbing her duffel bag and a change of clothes. "Come on Kallisto, it's time to meet your other uncle." She then lets out a quiet whistle using her lips. "Time to go Naga."
Naga happily pants before following after Asami who starts heading for the car.
"Wha— hey! Aren't you gonna help me move the things Asami!"
Asami began whistling innocently. "Sorry, I gotta change before I get in the car. Can't exactly show up in a bikini to meet Akemi or even my charming prince Mako at the airport." She jokes, recalling the decent amount of luggage they had today.
"Asamiiiii, that's unfair! I'm sorry, please help!" A moment of silence passes, "Asami? Asamiiiiiii!" Opal whines before regretting everything. Well… not everything but still.
xXx
SalamiSato (14:48): *sends a short video of Kallisto napping on her thighs*
SalamiSato (14:48): Our son is pooped from his wild adventure today.
Figuring Korra wasn't gonna respond any time soon, she looks out the window to look for Bolin's van. Fortunately for them, they were lucky and there was a parking spot relatively close to him so they didn't have to drive around the airport multiple times than they would have. As they got situated, it wasn't until she put his sleeping highness into the duffel bag before she realized something.
"Wait a minute… Opal?"
"Yes?" She hums while fixing her hair as she looks into the sun visor mirror.
Asami juts her lips before raising an eyebrow. "Don't tell… the reason when you wrapped this bandage around my neck instead of using a band-aid was because we were meeting up with Mako?" She suspects with a sink eye.
Opal clicks her tongue before muttering to herself, "Dang she noticed."
"You little…"
Quickly swiveling around to look at Asami, Opal sticks out her tongue teasingly before getting out of the car first. "You'll thank me later!"
Naga swipes her tail back and font a few times while panting before Asami looks at her softly. Letting out a quiet sigh, she scratches her ear before handing her a treat.
"Good girl… you're the only one on my side aren't you?" Getting lost in those big eyes, she leans down to kiss her head before mumbling. "Wish me luck girl." She finally slides the door open to see a crowd in the distance.
"Oh boy…" preparing herself for what's about to come, she walks head tall towards the entrance. It didn't take long for a crowd of fans to chant familiar names.
"Mako! Look here!"
"Akemi right here right here!"
"Akemi!"
"Mako!"
The crowd went on and on while the security guards were doing a brilliant job as usual creating a clear path. It looked like they were handling it just fine, at least until a particular fan saw her in the distance.
"Oh. My. Spirits. It's Asami Sato!"
"What where?"
Several fans let out audible gasps and many flashes shuddered multiple times before the security guards upped their game.
"Everyone make room."
"Keep clear!"
Mako finally looks towards her direction and smiles before waving. "Hey Asami, you made it?"
Asami waves back before returning the slight head nod Akemi gave her when they made eye contact. The crowd only got louder and louder and the cheers and squeals were starting to get out of hand. By the time the stars were within reach, they exchanged a brief greeting.
"Hey, welcome back you two. Good work in Beastly Scandal you two." Asami says with a smile before hugging Mako first.
He gives her a smile. "Thanks, it was a lot of fun."
Asami turns to Akemi before leaning in to hug her too. "Akemi, it's been a while. How have you been?"
Akemi hums deeply before shrugging slightly. "Well as you know, I've been dealing with this for six months now." She jabs Mako in the side.
"Ow— hey!"
Asami immediately laughs. "I'm liking you more and more by the second."
Mako finally raises an eyebrow in realization. "Wait what happened to your neck?" He asks while pointing to his own.
"Ah this," Asami shrugs it off. "My little crown prince was feeling a little feisty earlier."
It took a second to register but Mako snapped his fingers. "Oh! Kallisto right."
They all turned their heads around when the crowd got abruptly louder. The security guards were getting more troubled by the moment so Mako quickly suggests:
"How about we continue our conversation later?"
The girls looked at each other before nodding, "Sounds good."
The three of them rushed back to their vans in no time and since Akemi's place was on the way back to Mako's, she was gonna hitch a ride with him while Asami went on her separate ways.
Once the stars were close enough, Bolin pulled his attention away from his girlfriend before excitedly saying, "Hey bro! How was the trip?"
They fist bump each other before Mako responds.
"The usual."
Opal tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Asami, we should probably book it now. Something came up and they're pulling the schedule forward."
"Hmm, what a shame. I was hoping we could've gotten a drink or something." Asami says before taking a step into her van. "How about you two come to my place for dinner so we can catch up on some things?"
Mako looks over to Akemi who nods in approval.
"Sure. Sound perfect then, we'll see you there around seven?"
"That sounds great, see you two tonight then."
"Later."
"Take care."
The door slams shut and Naga immediately pushes her nose against Asami's arm. The actress smiles before cooing at her. "We're almost done girl." As Opal starts their van, her phone goes off and after Asami puts on her seat belt, she looks at her phone before smiling.
Korbear (15:19): awww he's such a cutie pie! 3
She quickly decides to call her girlfriend in hopes that she is free. Luckily for her, Korra picks up before the end of the first ring.
"Hey beautiful, what's up?"
"I'm on my way back from the airport for a meeting, you?"
"I'm having a quick lunch break, some rice balls. Have you eaten yet?"
"Had some sandwiches earlier. Anyways, I was wondering when you'll be done with work today? I actually invited the krew and Akemi over for dinner so I was wondering if you'd be free to do some quick shopping? Of course if your busy I can always—"
"Sure love, I think we should probably be done before five for today. Any requests?"
Asami takes a peak at Kallisto who just woke up and started squirming a little before saying. "Good question." She looks towards the driver's seat, "Opal any requests for tonight?"
Opal hums before tapping the steering wheel. "Maybe sukiyaki or nabe?"
"She says sukiyaki or nabe."
"Gotta. You want some snacks for later? I think they have a fire gummies deal this week. Oh! Those fire shrimp puffs you like are on sale too."
Asami moaned at the thought of those guilty pleasure snacks. "Yes please."
Korra chuckles before making an audible kiss. "Okay, I gotta go now, love you."
"Love you too," she kisses back. "See you later."
"Later."

"Welcome back Sami," Korra shouts before looking towards the door, "Where's Opal?"
Opening the door for Naga first, who runs quickly to Korra's side, Asami steps in with her pet carrier duffel bag over her shoulder. She slips off her shoes before answering, "She said she was gonna shower before coming back with Bolin."
Korra cooes Naga's name affectionately when she scampers around her legs before continuing to cut up some vegetables. "Sounds good."
Asami slips off her shoes before eyeing Korra's apron figure up and down. With her eyes growing in hunger, she quickly walks next to her side before kissing her cheek. "You need any help?"
"Mmh? Um…" Korra looks around the kitchen. "Sure, help me set up the table—" her voice shrinks at the end when she finally notices Asami's bandaged up neck. She immediately sets down her knife before cupping her cheek, "What happened?! You okay?"
"Oh, right." She grabs a hold of Korra's hand before kissing it softly. "Don't worry I'm okay, his highness got a little feisty and Opal went overboard with the first aid."
That didn't wipe away her frown. "But still…"
"Don't worry, I'll show you how meh the scratch is after a quick shower. Besides, I still have to put Kallisto back in the—" right on cue, Kallisto meows from the duffel bag before poking at the sides of the bag.
They both look down at meowing monster before they laugh.
"I'll let his royal highness down now, I'll be back soon okay?" She kisses Korra's lips before carrying on.
"Alright, sounds good love."
By the time Asami was settled, she pulled her hair into a high ponytail before flicking her hair back. On her way back to the kitchen, she couldn't help but note that both Naga and Kallisto were eating their dinner for the day. Smiling at the sight of Kallisto nibbling on his tuna, she turns to see a sight that makes her swallow unconsciously.
Korra was in the middle of transferring an iron skillet containing presumably brownie and or cookies or even both into the oven. The way her arms flexed and the way her skin glistened from sweat as she did so had Asami thinking more than just that sweet and gooey goodness for dessert. Her girlfriend sets the timer on the oven before noticing her appearance.
"Hey baby, you're just in time. I just got a text from the krew and they're just about ten or so minutes away. And yes, before you ask, I had some free time so I prepared some desserts too." She makes that contagious lopsided grin of hers with a wink. "Your fav, half chocolate chip cookie and half dutch chocolate brownie with a tub of good old vanilla ice cream in the freezer."
Asami was somewhat speechless but uses the time it takes for her to walk over and pull Korra into a warm hug to think of a response. "Why are you so perfect?"
She chuckles happily, before easily saying back, "Only for you." After Korra lets out a content breath, she pulls back to take a look at her lover's neck. She raises an eyebrow before saying, "Hmm… what a perfect three pronged attack."
The sound of light running makes them turn around.
"You're telling me. Looks like Naga's role as our defender is at risk."
Korra laughs before turning her attention back to the sauce that was simmering on the stove. "I guess it's too late to send him back to the pound."
"Hey." Asami couldn't help but tease, "You're the one who was chosen so he's your problem."
Faking a scoff, Korra playfully grabs her chest in offense. "But I thought we were family."
"Hmm…" her girlfriend walks over to the cabinets to grab some plates and cutlery. "I'm pretty sure my only family consists of my daughter Naga."
"Ugh!" Korra collapses onto the counter as if she was shot, "But I was the one who was chosen by her!"
"I don't know about that…" she grabs a treat from a hidden stack. "Naga~" she whistles for her furry friend and she immediately starts running over. "Who do you love more? Me or Korra?" She hides the treat in her fist before blowing out some kisses.
Naga barks happily before running past Korra and wiggles her tail next to Asami.
"Me? Aww good girl~"
"Naga!" Korra gasps dramatically, "You traitor! You're supposed to love me more!" She pats her knee in an attempt to get her friend to come over. "Come on, come here girl."
Naga barks again before ignoring Korra's command and rubs her face all over Asami's legs.
Asami gives Korra a sleazy look. "See? She loves me more."
Korra looks at Naga feeling betrayed. "B-But… I saved you from freezing to death…" she sniffles dramatically, "How could you! I loved you!"
Before anyone could react, the doorbell goes off and the door clicks open.
"Korraaaa, Asamiiii! We're here!" Bolin shouts from the entrance.
Snapping her head away in defeat, Korra walks towards the door to welcome them in. "I see how it is girl…" she sniffles again, "At least you have good taste though."
At that, Asami finally cracks. She laughs out loud before making a loud kiss noise. "Don't worry my love, I'll always choose you."
"Sure you will!" She shouts back in sarcasm. "Sureeee you will."
With a bright grin on her face, Asami finally uncups her hand and feeds Naga the snack. "Good girl~" she starts petting her head while her girl chows down on the treat. Rustling her ears, Asami quickly grabs the kitchenware from the cabinets before settling them onto the dining table.
Once everyone was inside, Korra had to ask. "Hey Mako, how was the trip?"
Mako smiles softly before answering. "It was good."
They hug each other for a brief second before Korra gives him a funny look. "Just 'good' huh… from what I heard," she eyes Bolin sleazily. "You and Akemi were hitting off prettyyyyy well." She teases before whistling a seductive tune.
"Wha—" his face grew a bit red. "K-Korra!"
She laughs loudly before seeing the main character for tonight's dinner walk inside. Extending her hand, she greets the new member to their krew. "Korra, nice to meet you in person finally, I've heard a lot about you."
Returning the smile, she extends her hand as well. "Akemi Suzaku, pleased to meet you and only good things I hope."
Korra gives her the 'usual friend check' by squeezing her hand more firmly than needed. Akemi's eyebrows go up slightly but she doesn't flatter for a second and squeezes back almost equally strong. After a second, Korra smiles warmly.
"I like this one."
Akemi smiles back, "Took the words right out of my mouth."
"Heh." Grinning brightly, she turns to Asami and the krew. "Shall we eat?"
"Yes finally!" Bolin fist pumps the sky, "Gosh it's been so long since I've had your food!"
Opal shakes her head, "That was like a few nights ago."
"Exactly!" He snaps his fingers at her.
"Oh boy…" with a roll in her eyes, Opal pulls out a bottle of wine from her bag. "I got some good stuff I've been saving for a while."
Korra simply grinned back. "Perfect! Let's eat shall we?"
"Woohoo!"
xXx
"Ughhhh this is so gooddddd! I can't stop eating!" Bolin exclaims while inhaling meat after meat.
"Hey save some for us Bo!" Opal slaps his arm before snatching a piece from his plate.
"Honey bunch, that was mine!"
Rolling his eyes, Mako grabs a piece of meat before handing it over to Akemi. "You should try this with this sauce. It's to die for, slightly spicy but sweet and tangy."
Akemi accepts it with gratitude before immediately moaning in bliss. "Mmph, my goodness this is amazing! Did you really make all of this from scratch Korra?"
Korra starts putting together a lettuce wrap before answering. "Yup. When I'm not training or supervising my dojo, I like cooking a lot. It's my main hobby besides exercising actually." She looks off to Asami who just takes a sip of water.
Humming in amazement, Akemi was impressed. "Wow, you can't believe how jealous I am of you Asami. I'd die to eat such good food everyday."
Asami starts chuckling softly. "Trust me, it's not as great as it sounds. Imagine being on a diet when all I smell and see is amazing food I can't eat. Now that, is torture."
Akemi laughs before Korra scoffs in offense. "Hey! I adjust accordingly, you know I coordinate and make you the best food that you can eat."
"Mmhmm, sure you do." Asami teases with a slight eye roll.
Korra playfully throws a single piece of bean sprout at her before going back to preparing and wrapping up a lettuce wrap. She added some pieces of meat, rice noodles, jalapeños and several herbs as the finishing touch.
Akemi couldn't help but smile at their situation. "You guys really are close friends aren't you. If I'm being honest, I kind of feel left out."
Asami looks at Akemi before asking, "How so?" She then briefly looks at Korra before accepting the lettuce wrap she made and ate it after dipping it in some chili oil sauce.
Noting that gesture, Akemi chooses not to comment on that before humming and thinking for a second. "Well how do I put it… your guy's dynamics are just so… well put like a complex clockwork machine. It makes me wish I was this close to my old college mates." She sighs before sinking into the table, "It's nice and homey you know? At times I feel like I'm messing with your guy's vibe."
"Nonsense." Mako quickly intervenes. "You're blending in perfectly well. You're the first one to go along with Bolin's stupid jokes…mmh well actually more like the only one."
"Hey!"
He ignores his brother, "We don't have this awkward silence when there isn't a conversation. You don't make any of us uncomfortable, heck! I don't think any of my past relationships have got along this well with the krew before."
Akemi couldn't believe him. "Hah, surely you jest."
"Nope!" Bolin cuts in now of all times, "It's true. You should've seen when he dated Wu for that short time. Boy oh boy he was a mess."
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the word 'he' before looking at her boyfriend. "He?"
His eyes practically snapped open, "Bolin! You said you promised you weren't gonna talk about that."
"Whoops… my bad." He gives him a sheepish grin.
Mako groans loudly before slapping his face.
Looking between the two brothers, Akemi couldn't help herself as she crossed her legs. "Okay, now you got me hooked."
Wincing completely, Mako grabbed his face. Meanwhile… Asami, Korra and Opal were all completely enjoying this go down as they sipped on their wine with their pinkies raised and everything.
Letting out a big sigh, Mako gave in and decided to rip off the band-aid in one go. "Okay… Well it's a long story but to sum it up, back in college I was exploring around to see what my preferences were. We honestly only really had one date and well…" he cringes at the memory, "That definitely didn't work out so we broke up shortly after."
Akemi hums deeply in thought. "Hmm…"
"What?"
She didn't even bat an eye, "Nothing."
"Aw babe, what? Come on, what's wrong? Are you disappointed in me or something." He moves closer into her space before getting to eye level and seeing her more properly.
This time, Asami and Korra give each this look that screams 'uuu he's in trouble' while Bolin winces in guilt before whispering to Opal.
"Oh fuck, I'm dead."
Opal simply sipped on some more wine. "Hey, you're the one who brought it up."
"And how was I supposed to know he didn't mention that to her already!"
She shrugs.
Akemi places her elbow on the table before resting her chin on her fist. "Nothing really, I just… wasn't expecting that that's all. I never pegged you as the type to swing that way—" she cuts herself off before quickly correcting herself, "Or well explore around that's all." She waves her hand up and down at Mako, "You seem too straight for that."
Mako raised a brow at that remark. "What's that supposed to even mean? More like, as I was saying, I was just exploring around. I gave it a try but it turns out I really don't swing that way…" he then looks at her with concern, "Are you… disappointed or mad at me?"
"No, why would you say that?" She looks at him confused.
"You know…" he urges on, "Some people aren't as accepting and well… you know."
Akemi gives him the 'really' look before asking him straight up, "What do you mean by that?"
He fidgets uncomfortably, "You know… are you homophobic or something?"
Bolin and Opal blink at his boldness before looking at Korra and Asami who were equally looking at each other before all turning their attention back at Akemi.
Her eyes widened. "Homophobic? Me? Spirits no. How could I be when I consider myself non-binary."
"Wait what?" Mako blinks in astonishment.
Akemi smiles before saying, "Just kidding. I'm actually fortunate to be comfortable with the way I was born." She pinches Mako's cheek, before kissing it. "Sorry, you just looked super serious so I had to. But, in all honesty, I do respect how others identify themselves and believe that love is love no matter what form it is in. We feel what we feel and that's what makes us human."
The bopal couple sigh in relief while Mako looks like a part of his life was shaved.
"Phew… that's uh… a relief then." He quickly raises his hands. "Oh, not that I would've minded if you're non-binary or not, I would've been happy either way and I'm glad to know you feel that way at the lgbtq community. It would've just been awkward if you didn't because Korra and Asami are—"
With her eyes snapping open, Asami abruptly interrupts him and clears her voice loudly before cutting in. "Anyone up for desserts?"
Korra took the hint and hastily stood up. "Sure, sounds great. The cookies should be done by now." She turns away and quickly walks into the kitchen.
Mako suppresses a grunt when he gets hit from beneath the table by Asami's kick while Opal grits her teeth seeing shit about to hit the fan. She tries to save it by acting normal.
"Gosh am I the only one that's about to pass out from a food coma from all of Korra's food! Isn't that right babe!" She musters before jabbing Bolin's side.
"Ow what was that for babe. Why'd you—"
Opal gives him a serious look before nodding her head inconspicuously at Mako and Akemi. Bolin's mouth widened before he took the hint.
"O-Oh yeah! Totally! I swear I always gain like ten pounds after eating here!" He spits out with a bright grin before patting his stomach.
Mako slaps his face at how bad they were at acting which makes Akemi raise her eyebrows suspiciously.
"Okay…?"
Asami kicks Mako's shin again with a poker face before calmly asking, "I hope you love chocolate chip cookies and dutch chocolate brownie, Korra made them from scratch." She decides to get up and walk over to the freezer. "And better yet, vanilla ice cream to go with it."
Korra finally comes back with the hot iron skillet. "Time for dessert!"
Bolin and Opal quickly scramble to make space on the table while Mako escapes Asami's wrath after she returns by getting up to grab some dessert plates and spoons. Akemi eyes them all suspiciously before eventually caving in and asks:
"Okay, should I ask or pretend things didn't just get awkward."
"That's—" Mako starts before getting cut off by Bolin.
"I call dibs on the brownie! That shit is the bomb!"
Opal smacks her face. "Way to be subtle love, way to go."
Korra laughs nervously before mumbling, "Oh boy…"
Akemi lets out a deep sigh. "Okay, I'll take that as it never happened then." She stands up from her seat before asking, "Do you mind if I use the restroom?"
Not even bothering to try anything, Korra points down the hallway. "Not at all! Go for it, it's just down the hallway to the right."
"Thanks." She nods her head before heading towards the bathroom.
Once the door closes, Mako glares at Asami who glares back until she sighs from feeling guilty. From their short encounter and from what she has heard about Akemi, she did seem like a decent and trustworthy person. However, the main point that made her feel guilty was how affectionately Mako was looking at her. Even she wasn't blind enough to not see that her friend was in love. She rubs the back of her neck asking her friend:
"Are you really that serious for her Mako?"
Mako looks her firmly in the eyes with a tense face before softening up into a sweet smile. "I am. Trust me, I really do think she's the one Asami."
Asami rubs her temples."I trust you Mako it's just…"
Korra walks over before placing her hand softly on Asami's forearm. She gives her a look before leaning in for a side hug. Asami smiles back and reciprocates the hug by nuzzling against her before continuing.
"I'm afraid… I'm afraid of the public finding out. How they'd react… what they'd say about us. I don't want our relationship to get dragged under or even… even cause us to get outed Mako. The more people know, the greater the risk. I've known all of you most of my life but Akemi is… she's a new friend."
Bolin frowns before he and Opal look at each other. Soon enough, he decided to cut in to support his brother.
"You know, we always try our best to keep your guys' relationship a secret." Bolin reaffirms from the depths of his heart. "That's the whole reason why I've been keeping the masami ship afloat after all. Nothing better than deflecting your dating life then having this ruse left and right."
Opal nods in agreement, "Yeah. That's the whole reason why I take behind the scene photos of you two and send them to Bolin, he knows his stuff when it comes to teasing your fans."
Asami gives Bolin this uncertain look which makes him grin guiltily.
Letting out a soft breath, Mako finally walks over and places a comforting hand on Asami's shoulder. "You know that I would never do anything that would harm you two. I'll always have your back no matter what happens."
"..." Asami frowns before looking at Korra.
In return, Korra gives her a warm grin before kissing her forehead. "I'm okay with whatever you decide Sami. If you don't want to, that's okay, we don't. But…I have this inkling feeling that Akemi is trustworthy so if it's okay with you, let's tell her." She starts rubbing her hand soothingly with her thumb while looking dearly in her eyes. "It's always nice having more allies. While not everyone would accept us for who we are, I know that Akemi would. Right Mako?" She looks at her friend and he nods affirmatively.
"Without a doubt."
"Korra…"
With a wavering heart, Asami lets out a soft breath before nuzzling against her girlfriend. She closes her eyes in deep thought before finally bracing herself and deciding.
"Alright… if you trust her that much, I'll tell Akemi."
"Tell me what?"
Korra and Asami immediately let go of each other and on cue, Akemi comes back from the bathroom. She looks at everyone with a confused expression but refuses to ask any questions before sitting back down. Meanwhile, all of the krew look at each other before Korra steps in closer to Asami's side and holds her hand. One firm squeeze later, Asami rubs her temples before sighing again.
"Well… you see…" she starts, possibly regretting her decisions.
Now, don't get her wrong, it wasn't as if she didn't trust Akemi. She trusted Mako and had a feeling she'd be the same but it was just… scary. It was scary to tell someone about her relationship when she was still so new to their group. What if by some bad luck they break up in the future and her secret is exposed? That slim chance would turn her life upside down and the peace she had with Korra would be ruined. That reason alone was enough for her to fight for keeping it secret.
Seeing her girlfriend's hesitation, Korra smiles warmly before rubbing her thumb along the back of Asami's hand. She gives her another firm and reassuring squeeze before Asami takes one last final deep breath.
"Well…" she breathes in again. "Akemi you see…" she faces Korra and sees how supportive her eyes were. Her doubts immediately washed away because in the end, it didn't matter if Akemi didn't support them. She had Korra and all of her other close friends and they were all she needed. Smiling brightly, she finally caves in and says, "Me and Korra are together."
Akemi blinks.
It takes a second to process before she lights up like a bulb. "Well that makes sense now."
"Wait, it does?" The majority of krew basically say at the same time.
"Yeah well for one," she gestures at the both of them, "it's strange that you two would still be roommates after college."
Korra opened her mouth to say something but then she had no rebuttal and simply shrugged. "True."
"Two, you two are awfully chummy with your skinship."
Korra shrugs again with a soft smile. "We are indeed."
"And three, you two…" she pauses for a second while eyeing the both of them before smiling. "Make a beautiful couple."
Bolin, Opal and Mako all let out a breath of relief.
Akemi looks at them seriously before saying, "Thank you, I am honored that you all trust me with this. I promise you, I won't ever step out of line and will keep this secret with me to my grave if needed. Please feel rest assured, if by some unfortunate reason Mako and I were to break up, I would never use your relationship to get an upper hand on you."
"..."
"..."
They maintain eye contact for a few short yet long quiet seconds before Asami smiles back. "Thank you. I'll take your word for it."
Another sweet moment passes from the release in tension before Korra decides to finally ask. "Well… who's ready for dessert?"
"Oh me me!"
Opal looks at Bolin funnily, "Really? After this awkwardness you can still eat?"
"Hey!" He scoffs to his defence, "What better way to end the night than celebrating another ally in our krew!"
Mako smiles before walking over and pulling Akemi into a side hug. He leans into her ear before whispering, "Thank you."
Akemi watched the krew's interaction before smiling and whispering back. "No thank you… I've forgotten what it feels like to have real friends."
He laughs softly, "Just wait. You'll get sick of them in no time."
She hums deeply before tilling back her head into his arm. "I'll look forward to that."
xXx
"Phew… finally done with the cleanup…" Korra exclaims before stretching tall. "Mmh? Babe?"
There was this silence and that made Korra suspicious. "Baaaabe, Sami? Love, did you fall asleep?" She starts walking up the stairs to their loft bedroom.
It was still silent and by the time Korra makes it to the top, her eyebrow goes up before her mouth turns into a confused smile.
"What? What the…"
Korra lets out a playful giggle the moment she sees a small table stand with a beautiful assortment of white and blue flowers. Then, for the main piece there was a small and flat blue box in the center of it which was surrounded by several candle lights. She makes a soft face before feeling arms wrap around her from behind.
"Happy anniversary baby~" Asami says in a soft voice before kissing her jawline.
"Anniversary?" Korra turns to face Asami slightly, "Oh shit! Did I forget one? I could've sworn it wasn't—"
"Don't worry, it's not one of our anniversaries."
Korra puckers her lips, still confused by the situation. "Then…?"
"Mmh, well go on and open it, you'll see what." She then gently pushes her forward from behind.
"Ohhh…kay?"
Shaking her head softly, Korra walks over and finally opens the box. What was inside was a simple navy blue and cobalt blue weaved bracelet that had a small black crescent moon ornament. She picks it up with affection before guilty saying and asking:
"Aww babe you didn't have to, thanks. I uh… don't know what to thank you for though?"
Asami chuckles before saying. "I figured you'd forget. It's kind lame and cheesy but I thought it'd be perfect for your first sponser's anniversary date."
Korra's lips formed an 'o' shape. "Ohhhh… is that what today is?"
"Yeah, I thought it'd be nice to celebrate it." She answers before walking over and sitting down on their bed. "Well… not like we really did today but you know. It's the thought that counts."
Observing the bracelet, Korra walks next to Asami's side before appreciating it more. "Wow, that's actually really sweet of you, thanks." She snorts at the pendant though, "A black crescent moon?"
Asami looks off to the side with a nervous face before rubbing her cheek with her finger. "You know… moon for Zhu Li Moon and blackstone for Iknik Blackstone Varrick…"
"Pfft—" she covers her mouth, "Babe that's so…"
Her face grew somewhat red. "Bad, cringey, cheesy? Yeah, I know I know! You don't have to tell me twice love!"
Korra finally starts laughing out loud. "Thank you," she climbs on top of Asami's lap before pecking her lips. "I love it sweet, cheesy gooeyness and all."
Asami groans before squirming slightly, unable to escape her embarrassment. "Here I just wanted to do something nice for you."
"Oh come on, it's cute! I do love it, I'll probably wear it tomorrow when I get the chance."
"Yeah yeah yeah, you can just put it in your accessory box like all the other ones I've gotten you." Asami whines while pouting slightly.
"Don't be like that…" Korra starts showering her in kisses, "You know I treasure everything you give me. I still have that little metal trophy you made me."
"Mmh…" she grumbles before facing Korra and returns a few soft kisses.
Peck after peck, Korra wraps her arms around Asami's neck before sinking forward. They both fall back onto the mattress and just when they are getting into the mood, a loud meow interrupts them. Korra was about to check up on what was wrong but abruptly stops herself from headbutting Asami when she feels sudden weight plop down onto her skull.
"H-Hey! Kallisto, get off my head!"
Asami blinks at the fluffy ball attacking the back of Korra's head before laughing. "His highness really doesn't like me cheating on him now does he?"
Korra awkwardly rolls over before grabbing the squealing monster by his armpits. "Looks like you and I have a lot of talking to do… firstly, rule one number, don't interrupt our sexy times."
"Pfft—" Asami covers her mouth trying not to laugh at how serious Korra sounded.
"Rule number two, no interrupting us when we're having some fun."
Asami shakes her head before leaning forward.
"And rule number three, don't bother us when we're getting it on."
Quickly kissing her cheek, Asami flips her hair before sliding under the bed sheets.
"Wait— babe? I thought we were gonna—"
"Good night Korra, play with his highness for a bit while I get my beauty rest please."
Her mouth drops, "But—"
"Good night. Love you the most~"
Korra closes her mouth into a jutted frown. She then glares at Kallisto, who started grooming his arm, before grumbling at him. "Why you little crazy prince… she's mine you hear me! Asami belongs to me." She stands up from bed, "Now come here sonny… I'll teach you a thing or two."
The fatigue Asami felt was finally seeping away as she listened to Korra being a drill sergeant down stairs. The last thing she remembered was something along the lines of 'watch it' or something about his deadly toe beans? She doesn't exactly remember but the atmosphere was more than cozy enough for her to sink into bed feeling content.
