Prompt 9: Ice Cream

Operation Sweet Tooth

Grumbling as she walked down the streets of downtown, Asami couldn't help but ask again. "Opal, for the last time, what's up with you and Icicles?"

That question gets her friend to stop dead in her tracks. "What's up with me and Icicles? What's up with me and Icicles! Asami. I am telling you, we need to go."

Rolling her eyes at her friend, Asami continued walking again, leaving her behind. "Like I said, why?"

She ran after her. "Because they hired a new hot ass girl that's why! And for the record, she is soooo you're type!"

Asami only scrunched her face at that comment. "And how would you know my type?"

"Because I've been your bestie since we were crawling on four legs that's why duhhhh." Opal deadpans as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

She only huffed back. "Opal… I've barely come to realize that I like women too so how the heck would I know my own type let alone you!" She ends up half whispering and half yelling.

Opal scoffs before dragging Asami in by her arm. "Don't ask me questions gurllll. Come on, just trust me! Let's go!"

Asami only grunted in annoyance. "You know how I feel about ice cream."

Rolling her eyes this time, Opal slapped her arm. "And they have sorbet options too miss lactose intolerant."

"Hey, what's wrong with avoiding dairy? Sorbets are good! At least those won't send me in the bathroom for hours." She ended up retorting back, feeling the need to defend herself for some reason.

"Mmhmm, yeah sure they are."

"Hey. I dragged my ass out of my house since you begged me to okay? Otherwise, I could be finished up an assignment that's been behind!"

Batting her eyes innocently, Opal completely brushed her off. "Anyways let's hurry up! I can't wait to gawk at the staff again!" She pulled her arm forward to encourage her friend.

Asami couldn't help but roll her eyes. Again. "Of course, you're a regular."

"What? Can't I enjoy my beefy men in peace?"

"Whatever."

They finally made it to the shop in due time and once they opened the door, a young man greeted them energetically.

"Welcome to Icicles! Oh, hey Opal!"

Opal immediately brightened up, "Hey Bolin~!"

He gave her a bright grin before pointing out her company, "You brought a friend with you this time?"

"Yup!" Opal then shoves Asami closer to the front. "My bestie Asami. Asami, Bolin."

"..." Asami shot Opal this look before awkwardly greeting him. "Hey, nice to meet ya."

He was super energetic for some reason. "Nice to meet ya too!"

Oh great, they're both high-energy people. Asami couldn't help but think to herself as the two talked about some cartoon for a hot second. After a few questions, Opal finally popped a random question. "Where's Korra?" And for some reason, she gave Asami this cocky look.

Asami immediately shot her a look. That was probably that girl she was trying to show her but talk about being not inconspicuous. One might as well shout that fact down the block!

"She's on her break right now," he asked without any hint of suspicion. "She should be back soon though."

"Cool, I wanted to say hi."

"No worries! Anyways, what can I get you two ladies tonight?" He finally asks in a more gentlemanly voice.

Opal hummed slightly while staring at the menu. "I'll just get my usual, the oreo blast."

"Gotcha." Bolin then types the order in before looking at Asami, "And you?"

"Uh—" Asami twitched from suddenly being put on blast before quickly skimming the menu. "I'll um…" she glared at the menu before rolling her eyes over to the non-dairy options. "I'll have the fruit roll-up."

"Nice, good choice! One of my favs…" he then punches in the order. "Alright, that'd normally be like twenty-five bucks but… one of them is on me."

Opal giggles with a slight blush before reaching into her purse to pay for the discount price. "Thanks~"

Bolin threw her a wink. "No prob!" He then turns around to face his coworker/brother. "Mako, we got an oreo blast and fruit roll-up."

Mako spares him a glance before prepping the orders. Bolin then leans in to whisper to the two of them. "Sorry, he's always a brute."

"Hey, I can hear you!"

Bolin barely turned his way, "Whoops—"

Opal giggled and they walked over to watch Mako make the roll. "See isn't this cool! Watching them put together the ice cream and all."

"Mmhmm, yeah, sure it is." Her sarcasm was oozing a mile away.

Clicking her tongue a bit, her friend immediately jabbed her side. "Stop being such a mood killer Sams!"

"Ow— geez sorry sorry…" I guess. Sure enough, Asami watched Mako slice up the oreo cookies, she leaned in to whisper into her friend's ear. "So, am I here to watch him?" She asked since he was attractive after all.

Opal quickly snapped her way with a horrified look on her face before whispering back. "Of course not! Were you even listening to me, we're here obviously for Korra you dumb dumb."

"Who is…" Asami looks up toward the counter and scans the staff. "Not here."

Opal smacks her arm. "Hey! Listen here, I'm trying to do you a favor as your bestie and feed you some good eye candy!"

"Mmhmm… sure you are." She shot back, still unamused by their situation.

Faking a bite, Opal was about to throw her hands right when a voice called out to her.

"Oh, hey Opal!"

Just on time, Opal brightened up at that before snapping around. "Hey, Korra!"

Asami blinks before glancing up, her eyes immediately widened.

"Oh? I see you bought a friend today."

"Yup! My bestie, Asami. Asami, Korra."

Asami was busy staring at her with a blank face.

Korra gives her a warm smile before greeting, "Hey."

It took a second to register but once it did, Asami booted back up. "H-Hey!" Her voice cracked and Korra smiled warmly while Opal giggled smugly. Asami immediately glared at her before Korra took Asami's order from Mako's side and started making it.

"I take this is yours…" Korra looks up to make eye contact with Asami. A second of silence lingered before she smiled softly. For some reason, her grin seemed to shine so brightly. "Nice choice." She then dumped the fruits down onto the cold plate before grabbing the two spatulas and began mashing up the fruits. She first cut up the mangos followed by the raspberries and the entire time, Asami was intently watching Korra's every move.

With each chop, her arm tensed and with every tap, her muscles flexed. Damn was her forearms thick and toned. It was as if an eternity pass yet also in the blink of an eye when Korra poured down the strawberry lemonade part. The liquid quickly flattened out on the cold plate and Korra worked her magic. She started chopping the ingredients together and mixing fruits around and that's when Asami finally noticed her forearm tattoos. Plural. She gulped at the tease since it trailed up to her bicep, hidden but that damned shirt before she eventually blinked and looked up to make eye contact with Korra.

Korra blinked as well before throwing her a soft grin.

Asami blushed and quickly looked away before bashfully watching Korra finish up her order. Within seconds, Korra flattened out her sorbet before scrapping it off the cold plate into beautiful rolls. Once they were all curled up and ready, she then grabbed the tongs and placed them into the paper cup accordingly before walking over to the topping section. Of course, Opal had already received her order at this point unbeknown to Asami.

"You want something in particular?"

It took a second for Asami to realize Korra was talking to her.

"Oh— uh… whatever's fine!" She squeaked out before giving her an awkward grin.

Korra smiled back before responding. "Cool," she started putting in an assortment of fruits before topping it off with a rainbow sour belt candy. Of course… in Asami's eyes, it was positioned like a pride flag. "And tada! There you, one fruit roll-up sorbet." She then set it on the counter for Asami to grab before sliding it over with a napkin and spoon. "Hope you enjoy it." Better yet, she topped it off with a wink which made Asami's heart skip a beat.

Luckily, Asami's mouth was on autopilot. "Thanks."

"No prob, see you later?"

"Yeah. See ya later." She then quickly grabbed her order before turning on her heels. Opal had this smug grin and the two of them left the building before her friend started in a smug tune.

"Soooooo did I tell you so or did I tell you so."

Asami only shot her a look.

"Aw come on, don't give me that look. You know she was hot."

"That's…"

"Come on… admit it! You know she was fucking hot! And her arms!"

Asami caved in with a huff. "Yeah… okay, fine. She was hot."

"Hah! I knew it! She's totally your type huh!"

Groaning in defeat, Asami sighed in bliss while staring at her order. "Did you see her arms?"

"Yup!" She popped the 'p' to emphasize her word. "She's hot and yolked. Her veins were sticking out here and there you know!"

"What?! I missed that!"

"Yup."

Another dreamy sigh escaped Asami's lips before she added. "And her tattoos?"

"Mmhmmm, you name it babe. Dreamy as fuck with tatts. From what I heard too, she was single."

At that comment, Asami groaned to herself before staring at her order again. "You think this sour belt means something? I told her to put whatever and this was what I got."

Opal then looks down at her sorbet cup. "Wellllllll… I mean considering the fact that she put one fruit of every color of the rainbow in your cup with that rainbow belt, I'd say yeah. Probably."

"But what does it mean then Opal?!"

"That she's gay as fuck and you're her type too?"

"Nah, there's no way someone like her would be into me."

"Babe. You're kidding me. Have you seen your reflection?"

Asami rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean."

Opal finally laughed. "Do I or do I?"

"Oh shut up!"

She ran away slightly before concluding. "Soooo, does this mean you're gonna come with me to get ice cream now?"

"Obviously duh!" Asami caught up to her side before finally taking a stab at her sorbet. "Shit, this is good…"

Her friend couldn't help but tease. "Cause whipped and gay as fuck for her!"

"Am I not!" She defended back by reflex.

"Are too!" Opal then scoops up a small amount of her ice cream and shoved it in Asami's mouth.

"Hey—" she grumbled before eating the bite.

"Good?"

"I guess…" the disappointment in her voice was apparent.

Opal rolls her eyes. "Bolin makes it better. More like, the rolls always make it better when your crush makes it."

"I do not have a crush on Korra!"

"Sure you don't." Opal then steals a bite of Asami's bowl, "Tastes fine to me."

"Hey! It tastes amazing thank you very much!" She wasn't sure why she said that and so adamantly at that.

Her best friend only smirked, "See? Whipped."

"Urghhhh, whatever." She took a stab at her sorbet, "Tastes good…"

Opal laughs happily before concluding. "Here starts Operation Sweet Tooth!"

Asami gave her a look before repeating skeptically, "Operation Sweet Tooth?"

"Yeah Operation Sweet Tooth, aka, we try to ask them out on a double date next time!"

"What?!" That made Asami sober up, "No way!"

"Yes way! I've been planning this for weeks and now, I got extra ammunition!" She then gestures at her friend, "Aka you because you're a great date magnet."

Asami scoffed back, "Am not."

"Are too! Are you kidding me, you got asked out on a date literally yesterday."

Her eyebrow twitched, she couldn't retort that. "Well, that was some guy, not a hot gal. What do you want me to do?"

"Woo her with your sex appeal obviously!"

"You're impossible."

"And surprise, you're hot too babe! Come on, be my wing woman while I try to hit on my man and you hit on his bestie for me will ya?"

"..." Asami held this pained think face before she finally caved in. "Fine. But no promises of any kind."

"Haha yes!" She then pumped her fist, "We got this in the bag then." She then taps her ice cream against Asami's. "To Operation Sweet Tooth?"

"..." Asami held her skeptical face for a second before giving in. "To Operation Sweet Tooth," she then tapped her bowl against Opal's.

AN: Good thing they have sorbets~ LMAO XD
