Asami was currently cropped up on a chair, hunched over and glaring at the world. It was as if the sunlight was tearing her apart from the inside out. Why must humans wake up when the sun's up? What's wrong with sleeping during daylight? The toastiness of a soft bed and blanket can never be topped so why would anyone leave it willingly? She could literally afford not to leave her bed ever again if she wanted to so why not start now? That was always a question she asked herself when she was dragged out of the bed against her own free will.
The morning is evil…
The sudden weight and hug from Korra makes her grunt.
Ugh… right.
Her head falls forward and she takes in a deep breath of Korra's freshly showered scent.
"Morning baby."
Korra kisses the crown of her head before wobbling them softly side to side.
"Mmrgh…"
Chuckling slightly, Korra kisses her cheek.
"Come on, you have to go and get ready. Don't you have a busy schedule today?"
At that notion, Asami cocked an eyebrow before glancing up at her wonderful face. She was well aware that they had plenty of time to spare before she had to leave so how could her girlfriend dare suggest leaving early? She'd never do that unless…she was hiding something.
"I do. But not yet." She responds in a challenging voice.
Korra shifts awkwardly.
"Yeah but I uh… thought it'd be nice if you're on time with time to spare and all. You know, since it's the one year special and all."
Asami finally smiles suspiciously before tiredly headbutting Korra's shoulder.
"Fine then… pack me some breakfast to-go?" How cute. Secrets really aren't your thing.
Smiling brightly, Asami could've sworn Korra chanted a quiet 'yes' before getting up to her dismay.
"Coming right up love."
Asami lets out a heavy sigh before forcing herself up. She rubs her face before shouting out, "Love I'm gonna go shower then."
Korra shouts back from the kitchen. "Okayyyyyy."
By the time Asami was showered and ready, she was somewhat coherent but still miserable nonetheless. With her eyes closed, she ran her fingers through her freshly dried hair before striding over to her vanity. She quickly does her skin care routine before applying a light amount of perfume. Huffing softly, she twirls her hair before mumbling:
"Should I cut my hair…?"
She stares at her reflection for a hot moment before getting up and flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Meh."
No one knew why but all of her friends knew that she was horrendous at waking up, particularly in the morning, compared to naps. It takes a lot for her to get jump started. In fact, it had even been proven in the past like during that one time when there was a fire in the dormitory and she was as calm as a cucumber, zombie-like to be exact, where she was barely hustling. But, she did have to say though, the one thing that did always help her foggy mind get moving was seeing Korra in an apron.
Now that was a sight that got her heart pumping.
Her darkening light green eyes wandered down Korra's figure before she stepped up to kiss Korra's shoulder blade. At the same time, she places her hand around her waist before peaks over her shoulder and asking:
"What'd you make babe?"
Adding a few finishing touches, Korra slaps on the last slice of bread.
"Finger sandwiches."
"Mmh… Sounds good."
Asami closes her eyes and settles into Korra's body. She stayed there, enjoying their skinship until Naga's barking made her crack an eye open. Forcing her eyelids to peel open, she sees her furry friend run over and once she was by their sides, Asami let Korra go before bending over to cup Naga's happy face.
"Good morning girl~" she cooes as energetically as possible before scratching her face using her thumbs. "You ready to go with mom and make sure she doesn't get in trouble at work?"
Naga barks once before panting with her tongue hanging out.
"Hey!" Korra laughs before continuing, "Who said I'll get in trouble?"
Completely ignoring her, Asami pats her adorable head before kissing it. "I'm counting on you then. Now, where is your naughty little brother?"
Shortly leaving Korra's side, it didn't take her long to find Kallisto scratching up a post. He was kneading away, opening and closing his little paws at the twine material before Asami scoops him up and holds him like a baby. He scrambles at first but it doesn't take him long to settle down. Interestingly enough, between Korra and her, Kallisto seemed to like Asami more. He usually purrs the most on her lap and prefers her head scratches over Korra's for some reason.
Although… that was something she had to disagree with.
Korra's hands were the best and her massages were absolutely heavenly. Not to mention,= Asami always loved when Korra would play with her hair when they sat together on the couch. And then her head rakes… now that was just oddly relaxing. Guess there really was a reason why most animals, dogs in particular, melt under Korra's scratches.
Asami finally holds Kallisto up before kissing his small face. "Stay out of trouble young man. I'll be very disappointed in you again if I see another picture of a torn up uniform."
Korra chuckles before walking over with Asami's lunch. "I think I got it handled now, Meelo and Rohan are quite handy at keeping them busy." She hands Asami her lunch before taking Kallisto from her hands. He attempts to paw Korra in the face before giving up and settled in her hands
Asami accepts the food before leaning down to peck Korra's lips. "Thanks, I'll see you later then?"
"Yeah, love you~"
"Love you too." She quickly kisses all her girls and son again before grabbing her keys from their small cabinet. After that, she grabs her phone and purse before sending Opal a text.
SombieSato (07:09): u dont have to pick me up today im heading over by car.
Her friend responds quicker than she thought she would have.
SleepWrecker (07:09): *gasp* what?! Ur up?!
SleepWrecker (07:09): who are u n what hav u done to Asami?
SombieSato (07:09): why u… this is what i get when i leave early for once?
SleepWrecker (07:09): Ur kidding?
SleepWrecker (07:09): last time u woke up early Bolin got atked by some dog!
SleepWrecker (07:09): *gasp*
SleepWrecker (07:09): D=
SleepWrecker (07:09): I should warn him just to be safe
SleepWrecker (07:09): gosh, is it gonna rain today!
SombieSato (07:10): u ass
SombieSato (07:10): next time i'll just leave and not tell u
Ignoring the rest of her friend's spam texts, Asami grabs a random key. She ends up unlocking the door to her crimson red Lamborghini so she hops in before tossing her phone onto the seat. After carefully setting down her bento and securing it nicely in place, her car roars to life shortly after and she revs the engine.
"It's been a while girl."
She pulls out her designer sunglasses and puts it on before shifting into reverse.
"Let's hope nothing goes wrong today."
xXx
"Ladies and gents! I'm your host for today Masato and welcome to the long awaited one year anniversary for the drama that broke all the records last year, that's right, Death Is The Only Ending For a Villainess' cast! Woo!" The camera pans over to the stars before he continues. "Now, it's a shame two of the six main leads couldn't make it but that's okay! It's still an honor to have these lovely people here so let's get down to business. We'll have the cast introduce themselves starting from our favorite lady."
Smiling brightly, she looks at the camera before starting in the most serious yet joking voice possible. "Hi everyone, I'm Asami Sato and I play the crazy bitch of the duchy herself, Lady Penelope Eckart." She tops it off with a courtesy.
The whole cast smiles before the next person in line starts.
Raising an eyebrow at her introduction, he shakes his head softly. "I'm Mako Kaen and I played as the bastard of the empire, the crown prince himself, Kallisto Regulus."
The rest of the cast chuckles before continuing.
"Hello everybody, I'm Iroh II Suzaku and I played Penelope's eldest brother, Derek Eckart." He signals to the next person with a simple nod.
Brushing his hair back, he waves before introducing himself. "Wei Beifong here and I play as Lady Penelope's knight, the former slave, Ecklis."
The host cheers while clapping warmly before continuing. "Thank you all for coming, we got a lot of fun activities in hand today so let's hurry and get going."
After the warm formalities, the entire cast gets on board into a van before being driven to a new location. They were briefly told about the plans for today about how they were going to partake in various challenges and missions. Of course, the games were going to be along the theme of royalty and fantasy. The cast had tried to get the producers to spill the beans but they were quite secretive at hiding their plans. Soon enough, the van finally came to a stop and Masato quickly went outside first to announce the crew getting out.
"Thanks for bearing with us everyone. There might be a lot of traveling today but I guarantee, it will be worth it! As this was one of the most popular scenes in Death Is The Only Ending For a Villainess, we actually have a unique surprise for you."
Everyone starts unloading and the moment Asami sees where they were, she cocked an eyebrow with a smile. "This is…"
Mako looks up before recognizing this place as well. "Oh this is…"
"Surprise! That's right, starting our quest off with a bang, our first event will be held at the White Lotus Dojo! As we'll be having a friendly archery showdown, we managed to convince our esteemed Olympic gold medal champion to let us film on site."
As they make their way closer, Masato finally turns to Asami and Mako. "Now if I remember correctly, I heard that you two were actually close to Korra right? I'll be looking forward to your performances since you've had the best by your side for a long time."
Mako laughs before dismissively waving his hand. "Oh no no no, yes we're good friends and all but just because of that, that doesn't mean that I'm any good with archery. If anything Asami is the one with an advantage since they hung out together more."
Asami chuckles before teasingly rubbing it in his face. "Hey, Korra did offer to teach you back in college but you refused."
He simply shrugged before defending himself but honestly rather than listening to her friend, Asami was beyond excited. Her heart was racing faster and faster at the thought of being able to work on set with her girlfriend. Was this the secret Korra was keeping to herself this morning? No wonder she couldn't make eye contact. She wanted it to be a surprise.
Mako finally finishes his statement, "...and how was I supposed to know that we were gonna have this showdown in the future!" He retorts back with an unamused pout.
Masato laughs before looking at the other two. "How about you Iroh and Wei? Any experience with archery."
Wei shakes his head in disappointment. "Sadly not as much as you'd think. Of course, I did do some sparta training with Korra when we had to film that one scene but other than that, I'm afraid I've gotten rusty."
Iroh nods softly as well. "I'm in a similar boat. I used to shoot it for fun when I was little but I'm afraid I'm out of practice now."
Sure enough, they were in front of the dojo and Korra was quick to greet them with that bright, dorky lopsided grin of hers. Asami froze in place before swallowing hard. She had to control her expression since it's been a while since she has seen Korra in her kyūdō uniform. Her girlfriend always looked amazing in anything but uniforms always hit differently. She was wearing a navy blue kyūdoji and a black hakama with a dark grey chest bind and spirits, did she look unbelievably fine.
"Welcome to my humble abode guys." Korra makes eye contact with Asami before winking and bowing slightly. She steps aside before gesturing them in. "So, how did you want to do this? Shall I give you a tour or shall we get right to it?"
"Well, since we've got a tight schedule ahead of us, let's proceed as planned." Masato looks at Korra before winking. "After everyone is changed, you can show us how it's done before they get their chance at shooting.
"Sounds good."
By the time everyone changed into their complimentary uniforms, they all went into position before Korra took the lead for a demonstration. She got into place before taking her stance and took a deep breath. She looks at the target with focused eyes before raising her bow. Immediately reading her arrow, she does a perfect and beautiful draw.
While she did so, Asami blinked and couldn't help but notice the bracelet on her left wrist. She immediately smiles and her heart fills up in joy since it was the one she gave Korra the other day. Sure enough Korra releases the arrow, crisply snapping the bow string and without a doubt, a loud snap echoes across the dojo, signally a perfect shot. The gold medalist repeats a few more shots leaving the staff gasping in awe from her precision and grace. When she was done, they clapped before praising her.
"Wow as expected of our city's champ!"
Korra turns and bows before speaking. "Well that's how it's done but let's see how our favorite stars do." She laughs before nodding towards her disciples. "Jinora, Ikki, Kai, why don't you help our guests? Since they're four of you, I'll have one of my disciples look over each of you so no one will get hurt. Now let's see…"
She looks at Asami with a smirk. "Jinora, why don't you help Iroh, Ikki with Wei, Kai with Mako and then…" her eyes narrow at her girlfriend. "I'll be glad to help our esteemed lady out." She bows playfully, getting a happy chortle from the host.
Asami shakes her head with a smile before Masato agrees. "Sounds perfect, they'll be in your care then Korra."
Korra nods again before clapping her hands together. "Alright. Help them get situated."
"Yes sifu." They all bow before rushing over to help the cast get ready.
After everyone was settled and in position, Korra couldn't help herself before walking up to her girlfriend and teasing her. She grabs Asami's hakama before inconspicuously pulling her forward to fix her attire. Asami's body jerks forward and she raises an eyebrow before suspiciously whispers into her ear.
"Kor… What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Korra replies with this flirtatious grin as she adjusted her sash. She then walks around behind Asami before placing her hands firmly on her waist. "Just adjusting your stance."
Which was perfectly fine by the way.
Suppressing a low growl, Asami shook her head with a smile as she readied herself to shoot. "Okay then, am I doing right then sifu?"
"Hmm… lets see." Korra starts running her hand up Asami's torso before ghosting her chest area. To top it off, she then seductively trails her fingertips across her arms to where she was in contact with the bow. "Just perfect."
"Down girl…" the actress bites down harshly for a soft audible chomp. "Behave yourself, we're being filmed."
"And that's what makes it exciting." The athlete teases as she covertly blows into her ear which makes Asami shiver and wanna slap her. Laughing amused to herself, Korra continues whispering in a deep voice. "Now come on, draw your arrow."
Asami rolls her eyes before reluctantly doing as she says. "Is this correct sifu?"
"Mmh…" Korra eyes the camera before checking Asami's stance. She purposely pulls her hip back before running her hand along Asami's to 'adjust' her stance. "Perfect." She finally releases her finger tips from Asami's hand before taking a step back to watch her shoot.
Asami takes a deep breath, shivering at the loss of heat from Korra's hands and breath. She then closes her eyes and inhales before exhaling, trying to control her thumping heart. Soon enough, she opens her eyes and aims carefully before releasing the arrow. The sound of the string plucks and soon after, the arrow hits the target board with a solid 'thwack' noise.
Korra snorts softly at how off the arrow was from the center. If it was any beginner, that would've been an amazing shot however, Asami was anything but a beginner. The perks of being girlfriends with an Olympic champion after all, you get all the private lessons and more free of charge. Usually when considering the bull's eye zone, Asami's accuracy lies within the immediate outer rings just next to the center. Frowning slightly, Asami gave Korra a slight pout and stink eye. Her girlfriend only laughs some more before another teasing laugh catches their attention.
Wei laughs loudly before pointing at the target. "Way to go Mako! How about aiming for the target next time instead of the wall!"
Mako huffs annoyingly. "Hey. Unlike you, I never got to try archery and practice with it in the first place! I was too busy trying to ride a damn horse and swing swords, this is totally unfair."
Sticking his tongue out, Wei had no remorse. "Sounds like excuses to me!"
Meanwhile in the background, Iroh releases another arrow which hits the target again. He wasn't doing half bad since his last shots were on track despite being scattered within the target zone.
Korra finally smiles and not before long, after a few more practice shots, she claps her hands together. "Alright looks like everyone has had enough practice. How about we move onto the main event?"
Mako looks at her with a sullen look. "You're kidding."
Wei continues to flash his cocky grin. "Oh yeah, bring it on!"
"Yup! You better believe it." Korra 'accidentally' grazes Asami's hand before taking her bow. She then readies an arrow from her quiver before aiming off to the side and shoots an arrow. The arrow soars through the sky before knocking over a can which triggers a chain reaction that causes a large banner to fall down in front of them.
The banner read: 'Shoot For Your Heart!'
Korra hands off the bow to Asami before clapping her hands together again. Several of her other disciples immediately ran around to grab a multitude of props and brought them onto set. As they got situated, she walked towards the center before explaining the rules loudly.
"Now, the rules are quite simple. All you have to do is hit those cut out hearts on the targets and the more you hit it, the more points you get. Of course, we're taking in consideration your experience and skills so we'll have these smaller makeshift targets for you to aim at instead of the regular setup which is closer in distance." She says before pointing at the mobile targets while smirking at Mako which is definitely not missed.
"Alright, you all get ten shots and I wish you luck."

"...and see! This is so bad guys!" Bolin exclaims as he paces back and forth in Asami's living room. "You two are trending with the caption, 'Mako & Asami: Trouble in Paradise!'"
With her arm wrapped around Asami's shoulders, Korra proceeds to grab some popcorn from the bowl in front of them. She happily munches on the kernels before her eyes peel over to her girlfriend. Asami just sinks deeper into her arm before huffing at him.
"And how is it my fault that people think I'm mad at Mako? People take things out of context all the time."
"Yeah. I know they do." Bolin gives her the 'really' look, "That's what I use to my advantage when I ship you and Mako together! More like," he rapidly scrolls through his phone some more before violently pointing at his screen, "What the heck is this!"
Asami eyes it before shrugging it off. "What about it? It's just a picture of me and Korra together."
Bolin scoffs. "What about it? What about it!" He points at the two of them, "You two are supposed to keep things on the down low! What the heck are you doing flirting in public! Mako was facepalming the entire time on set! Your fans are going crazy with their random ass rumors!"
Giving Korra the stink eye, Asami juts her lips forward. "Hey, she's the one who started it. Yell at her."
Korra blinks innocently before sticking her tongue out. "Hey, it's not my fault Asami looks sexy in kyūdoji. What did you want me to do?"
With a smile, Asami smacks Korra's chest. "Hey! Do you know how much I was restraining myself from ripping off your hakama? It's unfair how hot you were babe."
"Hold it hold it hold it, okay, cute but ew. Can you two stop flirting in front of me and take things more seriously! It's only a matter of time people dig up some dirt on you two!"
At that note, Asami frowns. "Look, I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to 'expose' us like that and well, as long Mako and I don't do anything more 'stupid' or attract the public's eye, it'll blow over in no time. That's what happened during our last 'dating scandal' although Korra may not have been involved…I'm sure that we'll be fine."
Bolin snapped his fingers like he was about to retort with something but then gave in. "That's… true."
Despite Asami saying that with much oomph, Korra notices that she was still pretty nervous even after saying that. Her cyan eyes soften before she kisses the back of her hand. "Don't worry Sami, we'll be fine. You have me."
Asami blinks before holding her girlfriend's hand back. Then, with a gentle face she replies, "I hope so…"
Opal finally finishes her phone call and comes back into the living room. "What'd I miss?" She walks into the kitchen to pour herself some lemonade.
Bolin sighs before addressing the apparent elephant in the room. "We were just talking about Mako and Asami's apparent dating scandal. Again."
"Hmm…" once her glass was full, she put the pitcher back in the fridge. "How's that going this time?"
Finally, Korra tosses popcorn into the air and attempts to catch it with her mouth before getting sabotaged by Asami. Her girlfriend giggles at her success before Korra fakes biting her. She quickly grabs another popcorn before tossing a kernel at her face and answering Opal's question.
"Apparently Mako and Asami are having this groundbreaking and earth shattering fight."
"Ohhhh~" with a chuckle Opal sips her drink before teasing, "Spicy."
"Yup," Korra pops the 'p' before continuing, "And apparently people are starting to ship me and Asami…?" She continues to reply with that casual tone and shrugs nonchalantly which makes Opal almost spit out her drink.
She coughs a bit before clearing her throat. "I-Isn't that like— bad? Urgh…" she grabs her forehead at the recollection. "I should've known this was gonna happen when I saw you two at the dojo."
Bolin looks at Opal with a dumbfounded face. "Wait, you knew and you didn't tell me about this earlier! Urghhhh, this is what happens when I get stuck in meetings!"
"Hey, it's not my fault those two were eye fucking each other on set!" Rolling her eyes, she hands Bolin her drink which he graciously accepts and takes a sip.
He sighs before returning the drink and tapping his foot. "Well lets see…" closing his eyes, he thinks really hard before snapping his fingers. "Okay! I got this. You and Mako should go on a public night outing which will show your masami shippers that you're still solid!"
Asami sits up before resting her hand on Korra's thigh. "Mako's been busy though hasn't he? Pretty sure he's been brewing homemade alcohol with Akemi. That drink he made us last time for dinner was amazing by the way. What a nice surprise that Akemi is a brilliant mixologist. Oh! And that homemade cheese too, mmh!" She makes an audible kiss, "Akemi's addition to Korra's food is just heavenly."
Opal almost drooled at the thought of fine dining and wine. "That is so true."
"Very true but hey! Don't change the subject on me! I gotta tell Mako to chill it with his dates. Him and Akemi are getting a little ballsy with public outings… I swear… if they get caught by some paparazzi ima be so mad. Your fans are gonna be livid!"
Opal finally joins Asami and Korra on the couch as the Harry Potter reruns mindlessly played on screen. "Well, as long as you two avoid being seen in public together, I'm sure it'll be fine. Steering clear of your possible 'shipping' scandals is safer than sorry."
"Okay mom and dad~" Asami teases before settling back into Korra's arms. "We'll try to behave."
Bolin huffs before hopping onto the couch next to Opal as well. Following in Korra and Asami's lead, he pulls Opal into a side hug before saying, "Okay, you two just steer clear from being with each other in public alright? The paparazzi have been buzzing around Asami more lately. We don't need things to blow up more than they already have. Don't underestimate these pesky flies and netizens okay… they're a lot scarier than you'd think. I swear they get more tech savvy by the day."
Korra simply shrugged. "I mean what could go wrong? Would they raid our house or my dojo or something?"
Wiggling his finger, Bolin simply tsked. "Tsk tsk tsk… Korra, those are always people's famous last words."
She shrugs it off. "Oh come on Bo. That only happens in movies."
"Well don't come crying to me when they suddenly bombard you at your dojo then!"
Her lips were still jutting forward in defiance. "Meh."

"Asamiiii, you better not be in bed again. We're gonna be late to the meeting." Opal shouts as she invites herself into her home.
Asami was in the midst of emptying out the cat litter when she heard her friend mumbling something. Even if she half heard what Opal said, she couldn't help herself and rolled her eyes before shouting back. "I'm in the bathroom."
Sure enough, after she flushes the toilet her friend comes barging in without knocking.
"Hey! What would you do if I was naked?" The actress jokes before washing her hands.
"Oh please," Opal huffs as she crosses her arms. "Babe, I've already seen your goods."
Asami gasps before playfully grabbing her chest in defense. "You perv!"
Rolling her eyes, Opal shifts her weight to one side. "Such a drama queen." She then smacks the back of her hand against her forehead for extra dramatic effect. "Ohhhhh! My spirits! Asami's nudes have been leaked to her friends!"
The actress snorts.
"Reality check love, as if your fans haven't seen you half naked already! You've done plenty of hot and steamy shower scenes from what I recall boo."
With a giggle Asami continues to play around before joking back. "Yeah yeah, I get it I get it, I'm a loose hoe." She then fakes an overly loud sniffle before switching to her more slightly serious voice. "Anyways, what was my schedule today again?"
"Just some meetings at the company. Your project's opening ceremony date needs to be confirmed and then after that, we're mostly just going to look over the proposals you've gotten recently. There's been a lot of casting rolls and I feel like you might be interested in one or two."
Asami simply hums before spritzing on some perfume. "What type of roles are they?"
Opal starts following Asami as she begins walking towards her walk-in closet. "Well, in this one called the 'Night Prowler' you could be starring as this one detective who's going after a series of kidnapping cases but ends up running into this vigilante that isn't quite human. Then there's the one called 'The War Hero' which is about this retired veteran who works for the police and ends up having a one night stand with this CEO. Oh! And there's also this one—uh… what was the script name again…? Meh, well it was something about having this so-called perfect couple going through some shit but then apparently one of them cheats on the other? That one was a little sus though if you ask me, I didn't like how they set up the characters."
"Hmm…" sliding her fingers along her sunglasses collection, she grabs the most bottom pair. "Seems interesting enough, I'll have to take a closer look at those. I'm kind of feeling something a little more wholesome though. Or maybe even something along the lines of a double life as a wife and assassin or even a prissy queen or mystical creature. Honestly, anything with a little more spice than usual would be fun."
"Hmm, note taken."
"Alright, I'm ready, let's go."
"Sounds good."
They both make their way to the garage door but right when Asami slips on her sneakers, her favorite ping on her phone goes off and it catches her attention. She quickly stops in place before grabbing her phone and reading the message.
Korbear (11:51): babe =(((
Korbear (11:52): r u still at home?
Korbear (11:52): I forgot Kallisto's lunch
Smiling softly, Asami shook her head before quickly responding back.
SalamiSato (11:52): Yeah, I was just about to leave
SalamiSato (11:52): I'll swing by and bring u some then :3
Korbear (11:52): thank uuuu X3
Korbear (11:52): oh! Also, i think my bike needs some tuning or something.
Korbear (11:52): It was making a weird clunking noise earlier, u mind taking it to the shop for me? Im afraid if something serious is broken our kids might get hurt on the way back.
Korbear (11:52): It seems to be running fine but you know, just in case ;P
SalamiSato (11:52): sure no prob
Korbear (11:52): 3 3 3
Korbear (11:52): thank u :333 ur the best!
Korbear (11:52): love u~
SalamiSato (11:52): love u too :)
After Asami puts her phone back into her jean's back pocket, she kicks off her sneakers before saying, "Okay slight change in plans."
Opal raises an eyebrow. "What's up? Everything alright?"
"Yeah everything's good, Korra just forgot Kallisto's food so you mind if we swing by the dojo real quick and drop off the food?"
"Sure that's fine and all but isn't this a bit… you know, risky?"
Asami quickly makes her way into the pet room before shouting back, "It'll be fine. It's just a quick drop and go. Oh, and by the way, you can just drop me off and head to the office first. Korra said something's funny about the bike so I'ma drop it off at the auto shop next to our office building."
At that note, Opal makes a completely skeptical face. "Okay this just got more sus."
"Ugh, come on, it'll be fine." She huffs back feeling a bit annoyed. A part of her was growing really tired and bitter at the aspect of needing to be careful of her every step and gesture in public, especially when it had to do with Korra. What was so wrong in delivering food to someone? She sighs knowing how hypocritical she was being. She was guilty charged with wanting to hide Korra but then also show her off to the world so just sue her why don't you! "It shouldn't take me more than five minutes tops."
"Still… I can't help but be worried. The paparazzi has been ruthless recently. I swear, they've basically been stalking celebrities left and right and confronting them out of nowhere. That shit is crazy woman! What if they come at you out of nowhere at the dojo!"
"Oh come on Opal, that wouldn't happen. Besides, before I even get a chance to fight them off, Korra will be there to chuck them over her shoulder or even shoot them with arrows if necessary!" She jokes with a soft chuckle.
Opal could only sigh. "Okay… I still don't think this is a good idea since I have this funny feeling in my stomach but if you say so."
"We'll be fine Op, you're just thinking too hard. Maybe you should take some days off with Bolin some time soon. I can manage myself for a week or more if you want."
Opal scoffs at that. "That last time I did that, Korra almost cried from how chaotic things were. If I take a vacation, you're taking one too."
They finally make it to the van's door before Asami slams the door shut. "Okay okay. Why don't you start planning one then? Whenever you can make the time, just go for it. We could both use one since a mini vacation does sound nice…"
Her assistant snaps her fingers. "Deal! That sounds like a plan, no take backs okay?"
Asami shook her head softly. "Of course. Who do you think I am?"
"The one. And only. Asami Sato duhhhhh!" Her assistant jokes before putting the car in drive.
"Oh shut up!"
Her friend sticks out her tongue before responding, "Never!"
xXx
anon321: guys… i was in the area but i think i just saw Asami entering Korra's dojo...
anon58008: no way…
anon321: yeah… i saw like a shit ton of paparazzis following in behind her to so it had to be her
anon58008: isn't that illegal?

anon6969: noooo, no don't do it! Leave them alone!
anon58008: yeah, that's an invasion of their privacy and as much as we joke around all the time we can't go that far
anon6969: besides… the paparazzi will do all the work for us /3
anon58008: we may be simps and fanatics but we shall never cross that line of stalking!

Bolin was in the middle of making his way over to meet up with Opal at the office. Whistling as he walked through the hallways, he had a sudden shiver that made all the hairs on his neck stand. He had this bad feeling and he knew that something was about to go down. To his confirmation, his phone began going off like a wild night at a nightclub. Swallowing hard, he pulls it out from his pocket before his eyes snaps open at the top trending news on the gossip page.
'Masami over?!'
Trending with:
'Asami: Abusive Girlfriend?'
'Mako Kaen seen with Akemi Suzaku'
'Asami Sato cheating on Mako with Gold Medalist Korra Seaton?'
His jaw drops from this sudden spike in popularity and to make it worse, they were doing a live stream or as he liked to call it, an illegal ambush on Hotman's Live. Usually those paparazzis are more down low about things but recently they've been more ballsy around celebrities for some reason. Normally it's a whatever situation but that way too familiar dojo made him want to pull out his hair.
Furiously swiping around on his phone, he dials Opal's number faster than his finger could follow. He then starts running towards the parking lot entrance with the hopes that his girlfriend was very close by but before she could answer, he couldn't help but yell to himself.
"What the fuck!"
Thankfully Opal picks up on the second ring.
"Hi boo, what's up—"
"Opal please tell me you're here! Where is Asami! Please tell me she's with you!"
"Yeah I'm pulling up right now, what's wrong? I dropped Asami off at the dojo cause she's delivering cat fo—"
"SHIT! WE HAVE TO GO SAVE ASAMI THEN!"
"Wait what? What's going on?"
"I'LL EXPLAIN LATER JUST PICK ME UP AT THE LOT, I NEED TO CALL MAKO!"
"But—"
Bolin hangs up before quickly dialing Mako's number.
"Come on come on pick up…" it wasn't until the last right that he picked up.
"Hello, what's up—"
"PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE AT HOME!"
"What? Uh, yeah? I am, what's wrong?"
"OH THANK SPIRITS STAY HOME OKAY! DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE."
"Is everything okay? Why are you yelling and panicking?"
"JUST!" Bolin pants a few times before clearing his throat, "Look… on the hotman's gossip page… we're doomed." He whimpers out in defeat before sniffling.
"Umm…?"
"Just do it…"
"Okay…?" A few seconds pass before a single phrase escapes his brother's lips. "Holy shit."
"Yeah."
"..."
"..."
"Well… guess I'll let Akemi know."
"Sounds like a plan."
xXx
"Aww who's a good boy?" Asami cooes as she pets Kallisto's back as he flicks his tail side to side.
Korra leans back against the wall before crossing her arms. "He was mad at me for forgetting his food. You should've seen how moody and destructive he was earlier. Had to hold him by his scruff for a hot moment."
Smiling, Asami gets up before walking over to Korra's side. She sneaks out a bag of treats from her pockets before handing it to her girlfriend. "And that is why I snuck you some snacks."
Blinking once, she laughs before slipping it into her uniform's pocket. "Thanks, you're the best."
Throwing her a wink, Asami smoothly says, "Only for you."
Before Korra could respond, she gets cut off by a pleading Jinora. "Korra! We need your help at the front. It's urgent."
Korra and Asami look at each other before Korra pushes herself off the wall. "Okay? I'll be back love."
Asami gives her an understanding smile before her phone starts going off. She raises an eyebrow before picking up the phone. "Hello?"
"Asami… just to confirm, where are you now…?"
She playfully brushes Kallisto's tail while answering, "At Korra's dojo, what's up?"
"Hah… oh boy…" he clears his throat before continuing, "Okay… remain calm and listen to what I have to say."
She frowns before standing up straight. "Bolin… What's going on? You okay?"
"I'm totally fine but whatever you do, don't leave the dojo and hide."
Her eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Bolin. What. Is. Happening?"
"Don't panic, I'm on way, just a few minutes away so just—"
Asami felt like yanking him by his collar from how evasive he was being. "Just spill it will you!"
"T-The… the paparazzi is putting you and Korra on blast… and it's live on Hotman's Live."
She twitches before freezing up. Her lips parted and she immediately turned to look for her girlfriend. "Kor—"
"Everybody back up!" Korra's voice booms across the wooden walls. "No cameras are allowed in my dojo without permission. This is a sacred area meant for the art of kyūjutsu and I will not tolerate those who don't follow my rules."
"No…" color drains from Asami's face before she mindlessly responds and then hangs up. "I gotta go."
"Wait! Asa—"
Korra slams her foot on the wooden floor before she practically snarls. "I am not going to repeat myself. Get. Off. My. Property." Her fist clenches as her veins began protruding her skin.
Meanwhile, Jinora looked the most nervous of the bunch at what was about to go down. She wasn't sure if she should hold Korra back or even help her. "Kai, what do we do!"
Kai clenches his fist, "We back Korra up obviously!"
"But—"
The crowd cuts them off:
"Korra is it true that you're dating Asami Sato?"
"What is your relationship with her!"
"Is it true you're more than just friends!"
"What are you to Asami Sato!"
Several more flashes went off and Jinora clenched her jaw. "I'm calling Chief Beifong!"
At that note, she ran off to find a phone and she ran past Asami along the way. They both knew this situation wasn't good and shortly after, it wasn't until one of the photographers noticed Asami's presence in the background that set them off.
"It's Asami!"
"What!"
"Asami is it true that you're dating Korra!"
"Is it true that you're abusing Mako!"
"If you're here, is it safe to assume you two are together!"
They tried to push in forward but Korra only stepped forward, in front of Asami's line of sight with the most threatening face possible. Her eyes stared coldly at them and it sent chills down their spines, making them halter in their places. The flashes dwindled and it was if they were prey, caught by its predator in cold blood. Korra's icy gaze never budged an inch.
"Asami, take the kids and go."
Her girlfriend could only clench her fist. "But—"
"Go." She takes another step forward, "There's a limit to how shameless one can be and apparently it looks like these flies have a death sentence so I'll give it to them." She cracks her knuckles before aggressively flicking her fingers. "Who wants a trip to the hospital first?"
The paparazzi flinched before they began whispering amongst themselves.
Clenching her jaw, Asami knew that her jumping in wasn't going to help Korra. The situation was already bad as it is so what exactly could she do to help? There was really only one simple answer and her phone dings with Bolin's texts that confirm her thoughts.
Lil' Bro (12:31): Asami I'm here!
Lil' Bro (12:31): me and Opal r in the back, hurry!
Lil' Bro (12:31): the coast is still clear!
"..."
Asami had to fight the strong urge to run up to Korra's side and stand headstrong and tall next to her. However if she did, there would be really no going back. Korra would forever be stuck in a situation like this and that scared her to no end. Bringing up her phone, she reluctantly texts back before running over to her kids' sides.
Korra's Simp (12:32): im omw
She whistles before patting Naga's head.
"Come on girl, we have to go."
Naga had begun growling from the beginning before she eventually loosened up and returned Asami's cuddles. She whimpers sadly before following after her mom who picks up Kallisto from his makeshift pen. By the time she makes it out from the dojo's back entrance, she sees Bolin sliding the door open and rapidly waving for her to get in.
"Come on we have to get going!"
Opal looked like she was reciting some sutra. "Oh we're doomed. We're doomed. We're doomed. What are we gonna do! Shit just soooo hit the fan!"
Asami takes one last look at the dojo before making a grief ridden face.
"Korra, I'm so sorry."
The door slams shut and flashes continue going off like fireworks.
AN: lmao and did i shameless reference my old fanfics? yes... yes i did XD
