"I think it's time"

Asami took Korra's hand from across the table and stared steadily into her eyes. They had finally been able make good on the date that was ruined by Tokuga. It had been many months since their night in Zaofu.

Between the drama with Tokuga and Kuvira, Korra's avatar duties, and Asami's hands on approach to rebuilding Republic City they had hardly any time for a proper date. They mostly stole lunch dates (and kisses) in Asami's temporary office on the construction site.

But tonight Asami pulled out all the stops. She was wearing the beautiful red dress Korra loved, Korra her nice furs.

Night set on the restaurant's outside seating area where they had the perfect view of the lake where little turtle duck paddle boats drifted lovers across the water.

Korra swallowed a huge mouthful of dumplings hard, pounding her chest and coughing. "Time for what?"

Asami pat her back with an affectionate "what am I going to do with you" look.

"For you to move in with me"

Korra's breath caught. She knew Asami got lonely in the big house her father had left her. Korra visited almost every day, whenever her avatar duties didn't tear her away.

She put her foot down, however, if it prevented her from seeing Asami for too long. She didn't want a repeat of the three years she was gone. She never wanted to be apart from the girl she loved that long again.

But moving in? In that gigantic fancy house?

Asami curled her dark hair with a finger nervously. "my dad's…the master bedroom has been cordoned off since Dad was arrested. Since I'm the master of the house now I figured it was time I took it over. But I don't want to sleep there alone."

"I don't want to take advantage" Korra said rubbing the back of her head "my room on Air Temple Island is enough for me"

Asami squeezed her hand. "It's not taking advantage. I want you too. I want to come home to you every day. Wake up with you every day." She smirked. "Besides we've shared a bed plenty of times."

Korra flushed and stammered. She remembered the night in Zaofu, after Su had finally, finally left them alone, exploring parts of Asami she had only fantasied about.

Since then she'd spent plenty of nights in Asami's bedroom, more exploring in privacy.

Some nights, Asami would sneak into her room on Air Temple Island, through her window, and that was thrilling too.

Of course, when Asami visited Korra on the island they had their large and involved family to contend with.

it would nice to have a space just their own, without Naga poking her head in the window, whining for snuggles. Or Tenzin's fatherly lecturse. Or Meelo barging in demanding Korra play with him…

"Ok, I'm in" she said "at the very least we can have more time to ourselves without Meelo's farts ruining the mood"

Asami laughed light and giddy and Korra's heart melted. She leaned over and kissed her, feeling she had never been as sure of anything in her life as wanting to be by Asami's side.

Asami spent the next few nights detailing the master bedroom. Nobody had slept in it for going on four years now, and it was full of dust.

When it was ready, Korra spent her last night as a resident of Air Temple Island having dinner with her family. She held Rohan who was napping off a food coma as Ikki and Meelo hung off her pleading with her not to go.

"Guys, cut it out" Jinora snapped.

"Korra is a big girl" Pema told them sternly. "That means she gets her own space with her girlfriend"

A dreamy expression stole over Jinora's face "Sounds romantic"

She was clearly thinking about Kai.

Tenzin harrumphed from behind his newspaper. He laid it down and smiled proudly. "Well, Korra, moving in with Asami…that's a big step. Are you nervous?"

"A little" Korra blushed and played with her hair. "But it's Asami you know? I trust her. I don't have cold feet of anything"

The hall phone rang.

Korra shot up. "That's probably her!"

She ran across the hall almost wiping out as she skidded to a halt by the phone and picked it up.

"Asami!"

"Hi, Sweetie. The room is ready, come on over"

As the sun set on the bay again, Korra packed her few personal possessions. A biography of past avatars Katara had given her when she was a child. A pai sho board Asami had given her for her birthday. Naga's saddle.

Naga nudged her human with her huge wet nose through the window from outside in the courtyard

Korra pet her head. "You're going to have a lot of space where we're going girl"

There was a knock at the door.

"I swear to the spirits, Ikki" Korra muttered as she slid open the shoji door.

But instead of Ikki, Kya was at the door.

"Kya! Hi!"

Kya beamed at her "Can I come in?"

Korra moved out of the doorway to let her pass. Kya sat on the hard air nomad bed and pat Naga.

"Tenzin told me about the move. How are you feeling?"

"A little overwhelmed. But I know this is what I want to do"

Kya's eyes gleamed with nostalgia. "I know that feeling. The first time I moved in with a girlfiend was one of the scariest and the most exciting times in my life"

Korra laughed. "That about sums it up"

Kya put a hand on her knee. "It's going to be great. I've seen you grow as a couple all year. You two are perfect for each other"

Korra flushed and pressed her face into Naga's fur, grinning like an idiot "I think so too"

As night fell completely, Korra rode Naga up Asami's long drive way.

Asami was waiting for them, waving at the door.

"There's my girls" Asami kissed Korra and scratched Naga behind her ears "you ready for our next adventure?"

"Always" Korra whispered against Asami's lips.

As Korra snuggled as close to Asami as possible under the covers of their large new bed, Korra felt a peace she hardly felt the past three years. She listened contentedly to Asami's soft dainty snores.

She always felt this way in Asami's arms wherever they were. On the island, in the city, in the middle of battle, in their new home together.

She felt she was home.
