Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the little flash back we had last chapter, I wanted to take the time to explore what happened between Ila and Korra the last time they broke up.
We're back in present day now however, enjoy the Korrasami times!
/
PRESENT DAY
The cold air sneaking in through the window stung a little as she inhaled, feeling it as it came in through her nose and filled her lungs, causing her to tremble briefly. She didn't mind though, it was an excuse to cuddle up tight to the person next to her. Waking up with the feeling of Korra pressed up against her was something that Asami would never get used to. Having a strong arm wrapped up from underneath her and the other draped over her waist holding her hand tight to her chest made for the best sleeps. Waking up however, that was a challenge given the fact that Korra slept like the dead. Asami was usually the first one up, even the faintest amount of light poking through the curtains being enough to pull her from dreamland, but not Korra. Waking her student up was near impossible, even after pulling herself out of Korra's grasp, and even after turning the girl over on to her back, she still didn't wake. Asami now lay on her stomach next the girl, elbow propped up on the bed as she rested her head in her hand, Korra's arm extended in the space on the bed between her chest and elbow. She couldn't help but smile as she watched her student sleep, how she'd make the cutest faces as she dreamt, or how her rolled up shirt showed off how her abs contracted and softened as she breathed. This is something I could get used to… But as much as the woman enjoyed watching the tanned girl, she had to wake her up. She tried several different techniques, dragging her fingers lightly up her bicep usually got a good reaction out of her when she was awake, but did nothing while she was asleep. Next she tried kissing her exposed stomach, pressing her lips to each individual ab, still nothing. She moved her kisses to the girl's neck, to her jaw, and finally to her lips… and still, not a single movement from her student. This is going to be harder than I thought… She watched as Korra still lay sound asleep, contemplating what her next attempt would be, smiling to herself when she finally formulated the perfect plan. She edged closer to the girl, leaning against her chest slightly, taking her time as she pressed soft kisses up Korra's neck.
"Korra… " she breathed on the girl's ear.
Still no movement.
"Korra… " She tried again as she trailed a finger up the valley in the middle of her toned abdomen.
"Mmmm…" The girl moaned softly, barely breaking her unconscious state.
"Korra… wake up… " Asami whispered once again, following with a soft nibble on her earlobe.
Her student moaned again, this time a little louder.
She moved to place a kiss on Korra's cheek, "I'm naked… "
As soon as the words left her mouth, the hand that was splayed out underneath her reached up and grabbed her ass, pulling on the material of her red shorts before letting go and falling back down to the bed.
"Liar…" the tanned girl groaned, still refusing to open her eyes or move her head.
Asami laughed softly and kissed the girl's forehead, "Sorry, but it's time to get up sleepyhead."
Korra still didn't open her eyes as she protested in her morning raspy voice, "20 more minutes…"
"Nope!" Asami quickly pressed her lips to the girl's neck and blew air against her skin before she turned away to get up herself.
"Did you just give me a raspberry?" Korra asked with a now clear voice.
"Maybe." Asami smiled back at her as she stood next to the bed, "Now get up!"
She made her way around the bed towards the door, only to feel a tug on the waistband of her shorts, pulling her backwards until a strong pair of arms wrapped around her and forced her down to the mattress.
Her eyes met blue for the first time that morning. "Just five more minutes then?" Her student asked with a puppy dog face.
How can I say no to that pout... She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Fine, but only five!"
"Yessss!" The girl exclaimed as she squeezed her tighter and nestled her head into the nook of her shoulder.
She closed her eyes and gave in. As much she knew she shouldn't be back in bed, there was no way she could deny herself this time, she wanted it as much as Korra did, and it was something she wanted to have happen as often as possible. Because waking up next to Korra was her new favorite thing, because Korra gave the best cuddles, because Korra is like a freaking heater and kept her warm, because she loved that Korra's face was the first thing she saw in the morning, because she loved… Her eyes shot open. Love? Where did that word come from? You just really like her. Yeah that's it, a strong liking. She stared up at the ceiling a while longer as attempts at rationalizing her thoughts circled around in her head. A tanned finger traced down her jawline, bringing her back to reality. She focused back on the girl looking up at her, falling into those blue eyes, and suddenly her heart felt like it was going to beat through her chest, beating so hard that she was scared Korra would hear it. You just reeeaaallllyyyy like her, it's fine. You're fine.
"Everything ok?" Her student asked.
Act normal, you're fine. Besides Asami Sato does not get flustered, Asami Sato makes others flustered. Okay you've got this. "I'm totally fine," she replied as she pushed a piece of brown hair behind a tanned ear, "why do you ask?"
"You were kind of in a different world for a second there." Korra explained.
"I'm just happy," she reassured her student, "I umm… really like waking up with you Korra." Tone it back or you're gonna slip.
She couldn't help but notice the deep red blush that formed on the girl's cheeks, "I really like waking up with you too, Asami."
Asami had to fight off a shiver, every time Korra would say her name it gave her a whole body reaction. It made their situation all the more real, that it wasn't just a game for her, that there was something really there, that they could really be something. Or that's what she liked to believe, in reality she had no way of knowing what was going in her student's head, but I guess a date is a good place to start. A smile formed on her lips, a date with Korra.
"You're doing it again…"
Shit. Pull it together Sato. She locked eyes with the girl again, "Up. Now."
"Already?!" Her student protested. She watched as Korra reached for her phone, pressing the home button to display the time, "at this rate I'll actually be on time for school! Think of the confusion that would cause! The whole school would be thrown into chaos!"
She's too cute for her own good. Asami just laughed as she pried herself from Korra's grasp, much to her student's dismay, "I think we'll manage."
"Ugh… fine," Korra exasperated. "But if the school spontaneously combusts or something I'm blaming you!"
"Sure sure Avatar." She replied over her shoulder as she made her way out the room finally, leaning on the door frame as she looked back at Korra, "oh and I still have your button up from that night at the club, in case you need a shirt for today… I guess you can have it back since you'll be bringing me a new one anyways right?"
"Right." Korra smiled back at her as she sat on the edge of the bed, her progress so far already an impressive feat.
"Good. I'll meet you downstairs."
The kitchen was just as they had left it, empty pizza box on the counter, Korra's books still strewn about the table. Knowing how much her her student hated mornings, she decided to pack up the girl's belongings, collecting the pieces of paper and placing them in a neat pile, pulling the girls still open textbook over. She paused for a moment, a grin forming on her lips as an opportunity crossed her mind.
She had just finished zipping the girl's school bag closed when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs, she quickly moved to the counter and folded the pizza box in two in order to avoid suspicion.
The girl yawned as she walked into the room, hand up behind her head, "God it's hot in here."
Her jaw fell wide open when she saw Korra come into the kitchen, button up on but undone, revealing her deliciously toned stomach and showing off how good her boxers looked as the band fit snuggly around the muscles of that abdominal V. Fuck me…
Shit, she spoke, that means I have to respond, that's how conversations work right? "Yeah… you're totally hot." Her jaw snapped shut. Fuck Sato what did you just say?! "I mean it's! It's totally hot! In here… it's hot in here." She smiled nervously, change the subject dammit! "Are you hungry?"
Fortunately Korra was still in her groggy phase of the morning so her slip up went unnoticed. "Uh, yeah actually," she replied rubbing the last bit of sleep from her eyes, "but I'll cook."
Asami couldn't believe her ears, "You," she pointed at the girl, confused look on her face, "You're gonna cook?"
A frown found itself on the girl's lips as she put her hands on her hips, her shirt getting pulled back as her hands rested on her hip bones, revealing more of her sculpted core. "Is that so hard to believe? I can cook some things ya know."
Asami's gazed at the girl's body, following that V that led into her shorts, "Abs…"
The girl cocked a brow at her, frown now replaced by her own look of confusion.
Crap! "...olutely! It's absolutely hard to believe!" Nice… "You know, since you could barely crack eggs the last time we made breakfast together."
Her amazing recovery seemed to convince the girl, or so she hoped… "Well, this meal I am pretty much the master of." The tanned girl started to walk towards her, hands now by her sides, which Asami was partly thankful for, at least she'd be able to concentrate properly now and maybe gain some ground, "Step aside pretty lady, I've got this."
She couldn't help but laugh at the girl, "Whatever you say, chef Korra."
She moved around the island and took her seat at the breakfast bar, watching the girl as she moved about the kitchen, getting out a couple of glasses from the cupboard and the jug of orange juice from the fridge.
Her student set them down before her and began to pour the liquid from the jug, pulpy juice hitting the bottom of the glass and splashing up to coat the sides as it filled, "Your first course is served milady."
Asami picked up the glass and took a sip, "Well, this is possibly the best appetizer I've ever had, your culinary skills are impeccable." Sarcasm clear in her voice.
The girl winked at her, "Just wait until you see the main course."
Her student turned and made her way back to the counter, opening the bread box and sliding four pieces into the slots in the toaster, pushing down the button to start toasting them. "The main course shall be ready in about," she looked down at the knob on the appliance, "well soon."
She couldn't retain it this time, the laughter easily escaped her lips.
"Pretty fancy huh?" The girl asked as she crossed her arms and leaned against the counter, confident smile on her face.
"So fancy." Asami motioned for the girl to come closer with her index finger, watching her abs tighten as she pulled herself to a standing position. She grabbed Korra by the sides of her shirt and brought her in to settle between her legs as she sat on the elevated bar chair, her thumbs brushing against the soft skin on her stomach, "You're adorable you know that."
The girl's smile left her face, "We're gonna have to think of new things for you to call me, not sure how much of a fan I am of being called adorable or the C word."
Asami cocked her brow, "the C word?"
Her student leaned in closer, going on at a whisper, "cute."
Asami smiled, "but it suits you so well," she explained at the same volume as her student. She trailed a finger down the girl's stomach before hooking it in the waistband of her shorts, pulling her closer and pressing her lips against her student's.
The kiss deepened instantly, her hands sliding under Korra's open shirt, feeling every inch of skin she could, tracing up that abdominal V, over every ab, over her ribs and around to her back, feeling the dips of each toned muscle there. She could feel the girl shudder under her touch, only driving her to deepen the kiss further, sliding her tongue over Korra's lips, a granted request to slip her tongue into her student's mouth. She soon felt the chair swivel, the girl turning them so that her back was now against the breakfast bar where her student's hands now found themselves resting. She bent her leg and slid it up Korra's thigh, bringing it up high enough so that it would rest on her student's hip, using it to pull them closer together. She could feel her core start to pulse, she knew she should stop, but she couldn't. Seeing her student walk around half exposed all morning drove her crazy, she needed this, wanted this, craved this. Her hand trailed down the girl's toned back, slipping just her fingertips under the band of the her boxers, a little further and she could finally grab that hockey bum she was always gawking at, this time with no material between them, just skin on skin. The girl's hand found itself in her black locks, threading through her hair and scratching at her scalp ever so slightly. It was the last push she needed, she dipped her hand under the boxers and grabbed a tight ass cheek, squeezing it, eliciting muffled moans between kisses from the girl. It was only getting warmer between her legs, pulsing harder, throbbing more…
The toaster went off behind them, sending four pieces of perfectly toasted bread into the air.
Shit. The sound was enough to bring her back to her senses, she quickly pulled her hand from under the girl's boxers, this is too far… She brought her leg back down and rested her hands on Korra's hips, pushing her back slightly so that their lips broke apart.
It took the girl a second or two to open her eyes after the loss of contact. "Is everything okay?" Her student inquired, confused look on her face as her hand fell from the raven hair it was tangled in.
"Yeah," she ran her thumb across a tanned cheek, "we just shouldn't really go any further, it's getting harder for me to control myself…"
"Then don't." The girl pressed closer, confident grin on her face.
Asami brought her hand to her student's chest, halting her movements, "Graduation Korra, remember?"
"That was your rule, not mine." The girl tried to press forwards again.
"Korra…"
Finally the girl listened, "Ugghhh… fine… stupid rule."
She caught her student's chin between her thumb and forefinger, bringing their gaze back to one another, "Just be patient Korra, it's less than two weeks away now."
"I hate this being patient stuff." A pout formed on the girl's face as she crossed her arms and huffed.
Asami laughed, "You're the c word."
Her student waved her off and made her way back around the island to the counter, "No no, we decided that we don't refer to me as that anymore."
"You decided, I didn't." Asami shot back, using the girl's own logic against her.
"Think you're pretty clever eh?" Korra finished buttering the toast and set it on the breakfast bar before her, "Et voilà! Toast à la Korra!"
"So clever." Asami smiled before taking a bite of her breakfast, "Well done on the toast by the way."
"Told you I could cook." The girl sat down next to her teacher and began to eat too. "Speaking of good food, where did you want to go tonight? You know, for our date? Since you wanted to choose and all."
Asami swallowed her bite of food, "Garde Manger, it's on the other side of town."
"I've heard of that place, it's super fancy."
"It is, but it's one of my favourite restaurants, and I also figured we should pick somewhere further away where there's no risk of running into anyone." She explained before taking another sip of her orange juice.
"Beauty and brains," Korra smiled. "Does this mean you're driving?"
"Of course, but don't worry, no stunts this time." She winked at her student.
"I just wasn't expecting it last time!"
She put on hand on her student's thigh, "Whatever you say Avatar, just be here at seven."
The girl cocked her brow, "You know, it's starting to sound more and more like you're taking me on a date rather than me taking you."
"I'm just picking the place!" She assured, "Everything else is up to you."
"Good."
It didn't take the two long to finish and clean up, it's not like toast made much of a mess anyways, and the dishwasher made for essentially no work apart from loading the machine once they were done.
Asami was wringing out the washcloth in the sink after wiping the crumbs up from the breakfast bar, goosebumps forming on her skin as she felt a strong pair of hands on her hips under her shirt and a pair of lips being pressed to her neck.
She closed her eyes, leaning her head to the side to allow the girl more access, moaning softly as the kiss turned to a soft bite. It felt so good, warm kisses moving down her neck to her shoulder… and there it was again, the familiar throbbing and warmth between her legs… fuck if this is what her kiss does… She bit her lip, imagine what will happen when we… Her eyes shot open, Nope, can't think of that, graduation Asami, just a couple more weeks… ugh, stupid rule…
She turned around to face the girl, "Korra…" she couldn't hide her smile, "you can't be doing that or we'll be here all day."
"I can't help it…" She pressed more kisses to her collarbone, "and staying here with you all day sounds amazing."
Asami placed her hands on Korra's cheeks, bringing her up to face her, "You're gonna be late." Her hands trailed down the girl's torso and began to do up the buttons on her shirt.
"As per usual. At least no one will be surprised."
"Have you forgotten about your quiz already? Guess my motivation technique didn't sink in that well after all."
The girl's eyes widened, lopsided grin forming on her mouth, "Oh it worked alright, I've never focused on math as hard in my life. But if being late and getting a zero meant that I got more time with you, I'd be very okay with that."
So damn cute… "C word." She kissed her nose before moving towards the table, lifting Korra's bag from the chair, "but I want you to do well, so you have to go."
"Fine…" She took the bag from Asami's hand. "Thanks for packing this by the way."
She walked her student to the door, "no problem, I know how much you love mornings so I figured I'd help."
Korra stood up after putting her shoes on. "Heh, mornings aren't so bad when I wake up with you…"
The blush on her student's face brought a smile to her own, this girl… She pulled her close and kissed her cheek, "I really like waking up with you too Korra."
The girl only blushed more after their kiss broke. She reached back and opened the door, her eyes never leaving Asami's face. "So I'll see you a little later then?" she asked as she backed out of the condo.
"You will." Asami smiled as she leaned on the open door, watching her student turn and walk away, "Oh, and good luck on your quiz babe!"
Fuck! She quickly closed the door, leaning against it and bringing her hand to her face. I actually just called her babe… for real this time… no joke intended… way to go Sato… you haven't even been on one date yet and you're using pet names…
Babe? Korra scratched her head as she made her way towards the boys' apartment. Nah there's no way… you're just imagining things Kor… I mean I'd like it if she did… but she totally didn't. She rationalized as she walked, convincing herself that she didn't actually hear what she thought she did.
She raised her hand to knock on the door, but it opened before she had the chance. "Do you really miss us that much that you need to take the bus to our place in the morning?" Mako questioned.
"Ah! Hey Mako!" Shit! She and Bolin hadn't really come up with a story to feed him, "I um… I guess you could say that I missed—"
"Relax Kor," he smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder, "I'm just messing with you."
She put on her best fake laugh, "Good one Mako. Is Bolin almost ready?"
The tall boy turned back inside, "Little bro! Let's go! Korra's here."
The younger of the two brothers came barreling down the stairs seconds later, "Ready!" He gave Korra the updown as he walked out the door, "Someone's fancy today."
She looked down at her button up, "Yeah I guess I am… It uh… was the first thing I found."
"Well I like it!" Bolin exclaimed as he walked by the two towards the street, "Waiting on you two now!"
Mako laughed at his brother, "Come on Kor, we'd better get going."
The walk to school was nothing overly exciting, Mako went over his studies aloud in order to prepare himself further for the quiz, while Korra and Bolin stayed quiet and listened mostly. Too quiet even, she thought to herself as she looked at her best friend. She had Mako to thank for that, even though he was borderline annoying at the moment with his constant math talk, at least he was a good deterrent for Bolin's interrogation. She knew it wouldn't last long once they had lost the older boy, but for right now she was quite content with not having to deal with it, thankful for being able to re-live the previous night in her mind in peace.
Most of the students were still arriving when they got there, getting off the various busses and meeting up with friends as they walked towards the main building. Very few of the seniors drove, which Korra would never understand. If she had a car she'd drive every day if it meant she could avoid the bus, of course staying at Asami's every night was also another way of avoiding that particular method of transport. She smiled to herself at the thought, yeah I could really get used to that.
Korra's phone went off for what seemed like the hundredth time as they made their way up the school steps. "Someone's popular," Mako shot over his shoulder.
Korra slipped her phone out of her pocket and checked her home screen, rolling her eyes as she read her notifications. Shit.
"You okay bud?" Bolin asked worriedly.
She just showed the boy her phone screen, not wanting Mako to hear and get involved.
"Oh," Bolin started as he went through the list of texts, "yeah that's a problem."
"It's been nonstop since yesterday…"
"You've gotta solve that today bud."
Korra sighed, "I will… just help keep her away from me until lunch time, so I can figure out what to say."
"For sure." The boy assured her.
She wasn't convinced however, "Promise?"
"Promise!"
She put her hands on her hips and stared at him, "Even if O texts you for a kiss before class?"
"Well…" The boy hesitated.
"Bo!"
"Okay okay." He raised his hands in defeat, "I promise."
RING
"But you owe me details about last night!" The boy argued as he made his way up the stairs.
Korra followed, "Fine. When do you have math again?"
"Third period, but Mako and Opal have it first so they'll fill us in at break."
"I'll do what now?" Mako asked, he had been waiting for them at the top of the steps.
"Tell us what to expect for on the quiz since you have it first."
"You know that won't do you any good right? Tarrlok has different versions for every class."
"You could still give us a heads up bro!"
"Fine." He urged them forwards, "Now how about you get inside and be on time for once?"
She couldn't argue with him, her disregard for schedules was getting worse lately. She followed the boys inside and made her way to homeroom, secretly excited to see the look on Mrs Izumi's face when she actually showed up on time. No need for already prepared yellow slips today.
History with Prof. Bumi was probably the second best way to start the morning, next to class with Miss Sato of course. Today's class turned into a story about his old nemesis, some mythical creature called a shark-squid. As interesting as the story was and as entertaining as Prof. Bumi's reenactment of it was, Korra's thoughts were elsewhere. Her mind was occupied by a pale woman standing before her in a matching blue thong and bra, by the jasmine scent filling her nose as she snuggled up behind said woman in bed, the feeling of those soft crimson lips on hers…
"Korra!" A loud voice broke her from her daydream.
It took a minute for her to bring her thoughts back to class, "Wha… what?" All eyes were on her.
"Is something about the shark-squid funny?" Her teacher asked in a serious tone, hands on his hips.
Shit was I smiling again? "Uh… no?"
"Then wipe that smile off your face!" he continued at the same loud tone from before, "The shark-squid is serious business!"
"Yes sir!" She offered a mock salute which elicited muffled laughter from her classmates.
You're so far gone… The day just started and she's all you've thought about since you left her place… snap out of it!
History class came to an end and surprisingly Korra managed to actually pay attention for the rest of the period, one embarrassing call out was enough for today… then again she did have math next, and Mr Tarrlok was a fan of singling her out in front of everyone. At least they had a quiz that lasted all class, which meant that would leave little opportunity for him to ask her to explain something in front of the class, or to complete a question she had no idea how to even start, maybe having quizzes isn't so bad after all. She weaved through the mass of students, looking for any sign of her friends and hopefully get an idea of what to expect next period.
Crap. The person who she locked eyes with as she rounded the corner of the hall was not one of those she was looking for however. The blue eyed girl was walking towards her, as if she was on a mission—then again that may be expected from your girlfriend if you ignore their texts… Her eyes searched frantically through the crowd, where's Bo when I need him dammit. Ila was getting closer and Korra didn't have time to deal with their Kuvira-induced situation right now, she had a quiz to prep for.
"Korra," the blue eyed girl called to her in a sharp tone, arms crossed, gaze burning into Korra's skull, "we need to talk."
She has a point. "Hey Ila," Korra drawled. She felt bad for the girl, it wasn't her fault they were in their current situation, and she didn't want to hurt her. Maybe Ila had changed after all, maybe she did actually feel something for Korra, which would only make this harder.
"How are people supposed to know I'm with you if we are never seen together?"
Nope, she hasn't changed at all. "About that Ila…"
"We missed two parties this weekend! And uh…" something from behind Korra caught her attention, "ugh, your friend Bing is coming this way."
Bing? Korra turned her head to see her best friend literally running towards them, zig zagging through the mass of students in the hallway, smiling as she heard the apologies he offered them as he blew past.
Her smile faded when she turned back to the girl however, gritting her teeth as she spoke. "His name is Bolin, Ila. You know the guy who's been my best friend since forever? Guess we aren't much of a couple if you don't even know that."
"Oh right," she tried to catch herself, "I totally knew that."
"No Ila, you didn't."
"Kor! Totally glad I found you!" The boy exclaimed as he arrived, bending at the waist as he panted trying to catch his breath.
"Hey Bolin." Ila smiled at him.
He straightened up, "Oh hey Ila, didn't see ya there!" Even when Bolin wasn't trying to, he still seemed sincere, he was much too nice of a person to come across as anything but, even when he was mad at someone. "I've just got to steal Korra for—"
"No Bo." Korra cut him off.
The boy leaned in close and whispered to her, "Stick with the plan Kor, I'm trying to save you."
Korra didn't even turn to face him, instead her glare stayed focused on Ila. "There's no need for the plan bud, Ila and I are done here."
"Umm…" Bolin just stood there, unsure what to say.
She took a step forward closer to the girl, "For real done Ila."
"Making the same mistake twice are we Korra?"
"The only mistake I made was letting Kuvira's game get too far, we shouldn't even be having this conversation."
The girl cocked a brow, "Game?"
"This was all some elaborate plan of hers to get back at me, she made the whole thing up."
"Korra… don't forget about that flaming bucket in your front yard," Bolin warned with the same tone as before.
"I wasn't going to do this here, I was gonna do it when it was just the two of us, but then you had to go and act like a dick towards Bolin." She put particular emphasis on his name. "You can use me all you like, but never ever insult my friends." She turned to meet Bolin's gobsmacked face, pulling him along as she walked away from the girl, "Have a good semester Ila, this game is over."
"You're going to regret this Korra!"
She didn't even indulge the girl with an answer, she just kept walking forwards with an arm around her best friend's shoulders.
"Well that could have gone worse I guess," Bolin started as he scratched his head, "thought you needed time to figure out what to say!"
"I thought she changed, but she didn't. And then she had to go and call you Bing like she didn't even know you. I couldn't stand for that."
"Always standing up for me," he nudged her with his elbow, "you're the best Kor."
"I try," Korra smiled back at him, "I'm just glad it's over with."
"Well that makes two of us! But you did kind of take up all of your time to get notes from Mako…"
"It was worth it, besides I got some quality studying in last night anyways." A grin formed on her face.
Bolin instantly grabbed her arm and pulled her off to the side of the hallway, trying to use the nook of the door to give them a little more privacy. "Spill!"
"You know it's kind of creepy how you always want to know details…"
"Don't even Kor!" He poked her in the shoulder, "You owe me!"
"Hey!" she slapped his hand away, "We didn't even do anything!"
"Oh sure," Bolin mocked, "and I'm a badgermole."
Korra gave him a look of confusion, "What? Badgermole?"
"It means I don't believe you! Now tell me!"
"If I tell you will you let me leave this niche?"
"Absolutely, now go."
She sighed, "I uh, may or may not have asked her out on a date… and she may or may not have said yes..."
"YOU GUYS ARE GOING OUT ON A DATE?!" He yelled with a sudden excitement, "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIE—"
Korra quickly threw her hand over his mouth, poking her head out from the door frame as she did to make sure no one had heard, "Do you have to be so loud!?"
He pulled her hand away, "I'm sorry, I just can't believe you actually asked her! And that she said yes!"
Korra put her hands on her hips, "Hey! Is it really that hard to believe that she'd go on a date with me? I have been told that I'm pretty charming sometimes."
"Well I mean…"
Korra punched him in the arm.
"Ow!" He rubbed his bicep, "Geez Kor, I was joking! Of course she'd say yes."
RING
"Good," she said as she stepped back into the hallway, "I'll see ya at lunch!"
"Sure thing buddy! Good luck with the test!"
Oh right… "Yeah, thanks." Stupid Tarrlok and his stupid last minute quizzes.
She quickly walked down the hallway towards her class, hoping to get to look through the chapter one last time before starting the quiz. Apparently the rest of her classmates had the same idea, by the time she got there everyone was pretty much already seated with their noses in their textbooks. She made her way to her regular seat in the far corner at the back of the class next to the window, careful not to knock anyone with her bag as she squeezed between the wall and the last row of desks. Mr Tarrlok wasn't even there yet, which meant they'd still be able to get at least a few more minutes in, perfect.
She slipped her schoolbag off her shoulders and took her seat, making sure not to make any noise and disturb the students already studying. She slowly unzipped her bag and pulled out her textbook and pencil case, setting them on the table as she let her bag fall to the floor. She opened her book and flipped through the pages until she reached the beginning of the quadratics chapter, her eyebrow cocking when she found a folded scrap of paper hidden in the pages. She opened it up, a goofy smile forming on her lips the second her eyes fell on the words, 'Good luck' written in black ink followed by a pair of crimson lips below it, best signature ever. She tracked down a little lower, 'P.S. Don't forget to study page 425…' She couldn't flip through the pages fast enough, turning them almost aggressively, causing the pages to make noise as they shifted from one side of the book to the other.
"Shhh!" The student across from her hushed.
"Sorry." she mouthed back before eagerly bringing her eyes back to her textbook.
She was almost there, something clearly pushing against the remaining pages. 421, 422, 423… she paused and traced her fingers over the item through the last page… what the? She couldn't wait any longer, she had to know what it was, she grabbed the corner of page 423 and peeled it back, her eyes widening and jaw dropping when she realized what it was.
"Oh. My. Fuck." Shit. She instantly slammed the book shut once she realized she had actually spoken her thoughts aloud, an attempt to hide her textbook surprise from the glaring eyes that were now all focused on her. "Heh, sorry guys," she pointed to the cover of her now closed textbook, "this is uh… intense stuff!"
She could have sworn everyone simultaneously rolled their eyes at her as they turned back around one by one. She didn't care though, she needed them to be focused elsewhere. Once she was sure they were all busy looking over their notes, she slowly pulled the book open and peeked between pages 424 and 425. She couldn't believe it, right there, pressed between the pages of her textbook was a royal blue thong. All the heat from her body rushed between her legs, making her pulse and throb as the thoughts of last night's study session played in her head, fuck me… She could no longer think properly, math was the furthest thing from her mind, it was now replaced by long pale legs, a taut abdomen, perfectly round breasts, crimson lips, and jasmine perfume… she couldn't help but bite her lip as the throbbing got worse, pressing her legs together in an attempt to get any friction on her pulsing core…
The sound of a stack of papers being slammed down on a desk brought her thoughts back to the task at hand, looking up to find Mr Tarrlok standing behind the desk at the front of the class. So much for reviewing...
"As I am sure you are all aware by now, we will be having a surprise quiz," he motioned for Eska to come up to the front as he handed her the stack of papers which she started to hand out, placing them face down on each student's desk.
"It will comprise of 20 questions, you will have the entirety of the period to complete it. Do not flip over the quiz until everyone has a copy."
The class fell silent as Eska finished handing out the quizzes, since she was in the back corner Korra got hers last. Eska sauntered her way back to her desk, nodding over at their teacher as she sat down.
Tarrlok sat in his chair, elbows resting on the table and fingertips pressed together. "Begin."
Papers rustled as the whole class flipped over their quizzes, immediately beginning to scribble down their work. Korra sighed and followed suit, here goes nothing...
She read the first question, okay I can do this one, it's similar to the one Asami had me practice, the one where she took off her glasses and hair elastic… god it's sexy when she just lets it fall out of her ponytail… and that hair flip… She gripped her pencil a little tighter, Shit! She mentally chided herself, focus Korra! You're doing a quiz remember?! She shook her head and re-read the question again before trying to work out the question.
Turns out re-reading the questions once or twice was a trend that would continue throughout the entire quiz, similar questions to the practice test last night sending her entire body into a flurry of heat, excitement and need.
Remaining focused for the quiz was probably one of the biggest challenges she had ever faced, unable to shake the feeling she got when she saw her teacher's body on display in front of her. Except it wasn't just that either, it was the playful times between the teasing moments as well, the soft kisses that were given just because she wanted to and not to torture her further, or their play wrestling in bed as Korra fought to keep her from getting up. I'm so fucked…
"Five more minutes." Her teacher called from the front of the class.
Fuck! She hadn't noticed how long she was caught in her daydream, idly tracing circles in the corner of the paper as she lost herself in her thoughts. She still had two questions to get through and not enough time to do it, let's go Kor. She actually hunkered down this time, she couldn't allow herself to be distracted any longer, she had to finished this. She circled her answer for question 19 just as Mr Tarrlok got to the first desk to collect the first quiz, fuck fuck fuck. Luckily she was at the back of the class and would be the last one to have her quiz collected which gave her a little extra time. She frantically started to jot down her steps, working as quickly as she could while trying to organize her thoughts. He was three students away, hurry dammit, square the X, then divided that by this, 2 students away, then these cancel out, 1 student away, A! The answer has to be A.
"Your quiz Korra."
She quickly circled her choice and looked up at the man above her, "Here."
He took her quiz without a word and turned back towards the front of the classroom, the bell ringing as he got to his seat. "I'll have these back to you by tomorrow so you can use them to study for your final on Friday."
No one said a word, all so mentally exhausted from the quiz that they just shoved their belongings in their bags and shuffled out of the room. Korra couldn't blame them, she felt the same way, anxious to escape this hell room and find her friends.
She made it to the cafeteria as quickly as she could after throwing her stuff in her locker, in much need of a stress-free hour with her friends. She couldn't help but smile as she saw them all sitting in their usually spots, already deep in conversation—well not so much a conversation as they were mostly trying to calm Bolin before his turn for the quiz.
The boy was clearly freaking out. "What's on it?! It is easy?! God I should have eaten more. Is it all quadratics?! Or is there other stuff?! What's the circumference of the earth?! Why is that even important?! How long did you study for?! How many questions are there?!"
"Less than the number you're asking right now." Korra laughed as she took her seat.
"Hey Kor," Opal waved from the other end of the table.
She waved back, "Hey guys."
The two brothers waved back, but Jinora didn't move, her attention stolen by something across the room. Korra leaned over to the older brother, "What's with her?" She asked as she motioned towards Jinora with a nod.
Mako pointed in the direction of the younger girl's gaze to a boy with green eyes and short brown hair that was shaved on the bottom half, "Nora's got a crush on the new kid."
"Shut up Mako, I do not." she shot back without looking away from the boy.
"Guys!" Bolin cut in, "Quiz next period remember?! WOULD SOMEBODY FILL ME IN?!"
No one answered him, instead they just shifted their concentration between Jinora and the mysterious new student. "Seriously guys?!" The boy got up from the table, "Maybe if I bring him over here you guys will be able to fill me in!"
Korra couldn't help but laugh as Jinora watched him walk across the cafeteria in horror, "Bolin! Get back here!" Jinora ordered.
But the boy just ignored her. "You're screwed now freshie!" Opal nudged her.
Bolin was back a few moments later, "Guys, this is Kai. Kai, these are the guys."
Kai waved, "Hey."
"Why don't you come sit with us Kai?" Opal asked. "Here, you can have my seat," she offered as she got up from her seat next to Jinora, winking at the younger girl as she sat on her boyfriend's lap.
Jinora's eyes narrowed, "Opal no! Sit down!" She whispered through gritted teeth.
"Oh um, thanks." Kai replied as he scratched nervously behind his head, taking the seat offered to him. He turned to Jinora and stuck out his hand, "I'm Kai…" her gave her a goofy grin, "but you knew that already."
A blush set in instantly on Jinora's face. She met his hand with her own and shook it, "H-hi, I'm Jinora."
Korra had to hold back a laugh as she watched the two converse. She couldn't help but think it was cute, but at the same time… "Tenzin's not gonna be happy about this," she laughed as she leaned towards Mako.
"He definitely won't be." he whispered back stifling a laugh of his own.
While Jinora and Kai spent most of the time talking non-stop, the rest of the krew finally started filling in Bolin on what to expect for his upcoming quiz, and after a few minutes of reassuring he actually seemed to be in a good headspace about it all.
"If I can get through it you can too bud." Korra encouraged as she patted him on the back.
"Yeah, you're totally right. I've got this!" he claimed, full of confidence, giving them a mock flex, "Bolin time!"
After lunch they all went their separate ways towards their next class, Bolin striding confidently to math, Opal to science, Mako to history, and Jinora and Kai to god knows where—they had not stopped talking since Kai sat down at their table. Korra took her time getting to her next class, after all there was nothing exciting about ethics, at least not by Korra's standards. It was one of those classes that you had to fight yourself to stay awake in, not because Mrs Izumi was boring—far from it—but the material was just so dry. Korra already couldn't wait for it to be over, her mind already on fourth period.
English was probably one of the best ways—okay the best way—to get back into learning mode after lunch. Honestly Miss Sato's class at any time of the day was the best time to have it, it was now the class she looked forward to the most,even above gym! Which, for Korra, was unheard of.
She strolled into class with plenty of time to spare, finding her seat and staring back up at the woman who sat behind the large wooden desk at the head of the classroom. The woman looked back at her over the black frame of her glasses, giving her a risky wink. Unnff… she wore her damn glasses on purpose I bet. Korra couldn't help but imagine the woman straddling her in bed, sensually taking off those glasses before setting them down on the nightstand, pulling her hair from her bun and letting it cascade around her face, releasing jasmine scent into the air… and she'd totally be saying my name as she grinded down on me…
"Korra."
Yeah something like that…
"Korra?"
God it sounds so real…
"Korra!"
She came back down from the clouds, finding her teacher staring at her, waiting. Fuck it was real! FOCUS today Korra my god! "Uh, yes Miss Sato?"
"Having trouble paying attention are we?"
The whole class was staring at her, some laughing, some rolling their eyes as this has happened way too often before. "Sorry."
"Did you want to share with the rest of us what was so distracting that you can't pay attention in class?"
Ass. She knows exactly what has distracted me. "I'm good thanks." Korra replied with a little more sass than she should've.
"Excuse me?" Miss Sato asked as she tapped her foot.
God damn I hate being helpless in these situations. She could hear Bolin snickering next to her. "I mean, no I do not wish to share."
"That's what I thought." Her teacher stared at her momentarily before continuing her lecture, "Now if you'll all turn to…"
Today had been a rough day, focus was not on her side throughout any of her other classes, and it was even harder to do when Miss Sato was right in front of her. She spent all class admiring how perfectly today's beige pants hugged her ass, how that one strand of hair on the left side of her face refused to stay behind her ear, how nicely her pale blue blouse showed off her toned back as she reached up to write on the SMART board.
Luckily Miss Sato didn't take any more pleasure in singling her out for the rest of the class. The glimpse she got the night before of her teachers almost fully naked body had managed to take over her thoughts all day, no matter how hard she tried not to let it, and Asami knew it. What other reason would she have to let up? None.
What seemed like an eternity later, the bell rang. Now normally the bell ringing during English class was the last thing Korra wanted to hear, but not today. The bell ringing meant that the day was over and Korra was that much closer to her date with the woman who had control of her thoughts all day.
"Don't forget to pick up the outline for your final papers on your way out! They'll be due at the end of next week!" Asami shouted over the noise of students gathering their things.
The perfect excuse for more private lessons, Korra thought to herself as she smiled. She waited behind the rest of her classmates as they stood lined up in front of Miss Sato who was holding a stack of papers, handing the top one off to the next student as they approached her and walked out of class. Finally it was Korra's turn. She put her hand out to receive her outline, but instead of pulling the next paper from the top, her teacher pulled the one from the bottom and handed it to her.
"Have a good evening Korra." The woman smiled at her.
"You too Miss Sato." She had no choice but to keep walking. There were students behind her and they hadn't devised any clever way to get Korra to stay after class. She'd have to be content with the little exchange they just had, for now…
She read through the first page of her outline as she walked out of class, flipping it over the stapled corner to see the next one, only to find another handwritten note in black ink in the bottom right corner. '7:00 sharp.' She almost felt light headed at the thought, a legit date, for real, just the two of us, me and… Asami. She couldn't stop the butterflies from forming in her stomach, although she couldn't tell if they were from nerves or excitement or both… she decided to lean towards the latter of the options.
"So how excited are you?" Bolin greeted her as she walked out of class.
"I'm kind of stressing out Bo…" she admitted as they walked down the hall, "I've never gotten nervous over a girl before…"
"That's normally what happens when you care about someone Korra." She gave her a small shove.
She took a step out of line but quickly recovered, "Well it freaks me out."
"You'll be fine Kor!" he put his arm around her for a side hug, "Now, what's your plan?"
"About that… as for dinner, she chose this fancy restaurant across town, but the rest of the night is all up to me. I've been mulling over ideas all day and I think I've finally settled on one, but I'm gonna need your help, you in?"
"Elaborate surprise date plans?! You bet your ass I'm in!" He shouted pointing back at himself with his thumb.
"Perfect. Here's what I'm gonna need…"
