AN: One shot, in honor of my new friend, who I met only a few days ago. Based on our meeting here in Belgium, I got a small idea for a drabble. With her permission I started writing it. Of course adding in things that didn't actually happen. (flirting, kissing and so on) I'm married after all ;) hope you're all enjoying it!

I walked to the Republic City train station. My heart hammered in my chest and with each step I take, it seems like it wants to escape from my ribcage. I looked down at my phone and smiled.

Korra: 'I'm wearing a tight, blue shirt. No sleeves. Brown pants that reach just below my knees. White sneakers and a dark blue cap that I wear backwards!'

I started to type a response back and bit my lover lip anxiously while I continued to walk. I nearly bumped into a pole, which I graciously managed to dodge at the last second.

Asami: 'Almost there! I'm pretty sure I'll recognize you no matter what, haha ;)'

I started to walk even faster and was nearly running by the time I finally reached the station. I looked around the square, since Korra had mentioned that she would be sitting outside of the station. My eyes moved from person to person. My heart rate was sky high and went through the roof completely when my gaze fell on the person I had been looking for for the last few minutes.

Korra was sitting here, bleeping away on her phone. Tongue sticking out of her mouth just the slightest bit. So cute… I took a few more steps and my breath hitched when she turned her head to look straight at me. Her eyes shot open immediately and she smiled. Her pearly whites showed with that disgustingly cute lopsided grin of hers. She got on her feet with the speed of lightning and before I knew it, she had closed the gab between us. Strong arms around my torso.

"Ahhhh! Finally I can hug you for reals!" she said and I swear to Raava, having my ribs cracked never felt so good.

I wrapped my arms around her neck since I was lifted off of the ground without any trouble. "Korra! You dork!" I giggled and she finally put me down again. Her arms stayed where they were and our eyes met. Her were a beautiful shade of blue that reminded me of Sapphires. She was hardly an inch shorter than me and after a few intense seconds where our eyes locked, I leaned in and hugged her tightly. I rested my head on her shoulder and vice versa. She was nicely warm and smelled amazing.

I finally pulled back and reluctantly let go of her. "Can't believe you're really here! I'm going to show you around the city and of course buy you that beer I promised!"

Korra chuckled, picked up her huge backpack that she had put on the pavement and placed it back on her back. "Sounds good! But, could you bring me to a hostel first? I didn't have enough time to find and book one beforehand."

I looked at her in shock. "You're kidding right? No way I'm gonna let you stay in a hostel while you can stay with me! I asked my roomie and she'd loved to meet you."

I didn't think it was possible but Korra proved me wrong. She looked even cuter with a flustered face. "w-well… I didn't want to assume… you know."

I giggled and put a hand on her exposed shoulder. Damn those muscles… "What kind of friend would I be if I didn't invite you over. Besides, it's Friday and most hostels are full by now. You're not the only one who's backpacking through the earth kingdom."

"Well, if you're sure, I'd love to stay over!"

"And, you promised me cuddles, which I plan on claiming! Just so you know." I said with a wink. She grinned and nodded. "Also, you picked a good day to arrive. It's been over a week ever since we've had sun here." We started to walk back the way I came. "Oh, also, the nights are getting colder already and my heating gave up like, last night… so I hope you won't be cold at night."

"Don't worry about it, I'm always hot." She blinked and rubbed the back of her neck, a sheepish grin on her face. "I mean warm! Warm yeah."

I chuckled and smiled at her. "Well, I guess I'll just use you instead of a warm water bottle." We both laughed. Korra asked me things about the city and she was interested in it's history. After a twenty minute walk, we arrived at my apartment that I shared with a friend. She looked around in awe and seemed to be quite impressed with pretty much everything. After we put her backpack in my room, we decided to head into the city.

"Couldn't you get a handyman to fix your heating problem?" she asked me curiously.

I shook my head. "Nope, called several times. Several ones. None of them available for the weekend. Only available after. So yeah, we're forced to keep each other warm." I giggled.

Korra chuckled and returned my smile with one of her own. "No problem for me, I'm a cuddler anyway. And always warm! I mean, the nights here are a breeze compared to the ones in the South."

We continued to chat while we walked through the shopping streets. Korra had a small camera with her and took many pictures with it. She insisted that I was in at least half of them. We even asked a few people to take some pictures of the both of us. She stopped at a stall and bought a small plastic can with sliced strawberries, covered in chocolate and whipped cream. She grinned happily while she ate and even fed me some of them with her fork. She started playing with the whipped cream and I have no idea how, but our faces were eventually covered in it.

After we cleaned up, we found a nice place where we could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I ordered a Dai Li triple and explained her that, a century or two ago, the Dai Li were the so called secret agents for the earth King. Those who retired, pulled themselves from society and decided that she wanted to do something completely different. Some former Dai Li agents gathered in a tavern where they brainstormed and asked themselves, what will we do now?

One of them had ordered a beer but once he drank from it, he nearly chocked on how disgusting it tasted. They all looked at each other and from that moment on, they knew what they would do. They started a brewery and created the Dai Li brand. They even went as far as in making their own whiskey and became the Earth Kingdom's most ordered beer.

Korra listened intently and sipped her drink from the bottle, instead of the glass that was provided. 'it's already in a glass, no need to pour it out into another glass!' she had told me and I agreed. We toasted and ordered something small to eat. Since Korra mentioned that she felt the beer go straight to her head. We chatted away the time and before we realized it, it was already four in the afternoon. I felt my phone buzz and checked the message I received. It was from Mako.

Mako: 'hey, u ready to go? We're hungryyyy and I wanna destroy you this time. we alrdy reserved a pool table.'

I felt my insides clench. I had totally forgot about Mako and Bolin. Apparently it was all over my face because I suddenly heard Korra's worried voice. "Hey you okay? You look paler than usual…"

"I… I'm… sorry. My friends and I go pooling every so often… I totally forgot!"

Korra blinked a few times at me and suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh my…! Your face said that someone had died!" she continued to laugh and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Oh stop it you!" I said and bumped her shoulder with my fist. She continued to laugh for an extra minute and finished her last beer in one go. "Would you like to come with us? If not, I can just cancel and…-"

"I'd love to come and meet your friends." She said without thinking and I sighed internally in relief.

"Do we need to go back to my place so you can change or something? It's that or we leave now. Mako, his brother and a friend of theirs are coming by car."

Korra shrugged and shook her head. "Nah, I'm fine. I'm ready when you are."

So we left after we had paid for everything and went on our way. We made our way through the crowd and my heart fluttered when Korra hooked her arm with mine. "So we don't loose each other in the crowd." She had said and I just agreed.

It didn't take us long before we reached the pool centre. Mako, Bolin and Tahno were already there. I never really liked Tahno and I disliked him even more when he eyed Korra up and down after she had left to order drinks.

"Wow Sato… who's your friend? And is she single? She's fucking hot!" I glared at Mako but he was doing the exact same as Tahno.

"She looks nice." Bolin said and smiled. "She you girlfriend Asami?"

I felt my face heat up and cleared my throat. "N-no Bo… s-she's not…"

"Good, more hot stuff for me!" Tahno said with a big grin and moved a hand through his hair. I was about to say something but Korra already came back and stood next me.

"So, who's playing against who?" she asked and put an arm around me. I looked at Bolin who grinned at me and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Well, Opal's coming later, she's still working. So I guess it's Tahno and Mako against Asami and Korra?"

Thank you Bolin! I cheered internally and nodded. "Sounds good." Korra nodded and let go of me. I felt naked without her arm around me but followed her and the guys to our table.

Ten minutes into the game and we were already winning. Korra wasn't that good but she was better than Mako and Tahno. She had a perfect shot and if she did it right, she could down two balls in one go. She looked at me and winked. "Could you help me out? Show me how I should not screw this up?"

I swallowed hard and nodded. My heart rate went up again while I settled behind her. Both my hands on hers while she held the cue stick. I heard myself speak and explain all kinds of terms and what not. All the while, I tried to keep my body as still as possible. My chest flush against Korra's back. It felt amazing. She looked at me over her shoulder and smiled. I slowly pulled back and took a shuddering breath when she took the shot. Needless to say, we won this round. She walked over to me and wrapped both her arms around me. almost squeezing the air from my lungs. I didn't care and returned her hug.

We continued to play until Opal came. She was Bolin's girlfriend and she and him teamed up against Mako and Korra. "I want to win at least once!" he whined and Korra had agreed. Mako and Korra won indeed and he had been ecstatic. As a reward, he bought her an expensive drink which she gladly accepted. I felt a pang of jealousy even though I had no right to at all.

By the end of our game, we were all a bit tipsy and made our way over to my place. I watched with sore eyes how Korra, Mako and Tahno walked next to each other. All three of them compared their biceps. Korra in the middle. When we got to my place, Korra brought out a surprise in the form of a bottle of Southern Water Spiced Rum, she decided that this was the perfect time to open it and share. I saw her sit down on the couch and before anyone else could, claimed my seat next her. Korra grinned at me and we had shots of rum. I used a remote control to turn on the music. I already had a few shots so I was feeling extremely light headed as it was.

I was having trouble focusing on anything, especially on the people around the low coffee table that were playing some card game. I felt Korra poke my side and when I turned, she nudged towards the stereo. "Your favorite song Sami…"

I closed my eyes and listened to the music. It was Avril Lavigne with Wish You Were Here. I was thankful for the alcohol in my system and could easily blame my heated and flustered cheeks on that. She remembered… my mouth felt dry and Korra's arms wrapped themselves around me. She held me close and I cuddled up against her while we listened to the lyrics.

I can be tough, I can be strong

But with you, it's not like that at all

There's a girl that gives a shit

Behind this wall you just walk through it

And I remember

All those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You're always there, you're everywhere

Right now I wish you were here

I rested my head on Korra's shoulder and let out a deep sigh. We stayed like that until the song ended and she gently let go of me. "Be right back..." she promised and a smile returned on my face. She got up from the couch and disappeared into the hall way. I don't exactly remember what happened. What I do remember is that I heard someone howl in pain. It came from the hallway and I almost immediately panicked. Korra emerged and she looked fine.

"What... what was that?" I asked her and tried to keep my voice stable.

She shrugged. "Southern Rum makes people brave..." she grinned. "Tahno tried to have a feel... now he's feeling a lot les... ballsy..." she snickered and settled back next to me on the couch. A few minutes later, I saw Tahno emerge from the hallway. Both his hands on his groin, his face as pale as snow.

"I... uh... Imma... g-go..." he stuttered and groaned with each step he took. I wish I had the strength to go over and strangle him but that would mean that I had to leave my spot. Which I absolutely didn't want to do.

Mako face palmed himself and sighed. "I shouldn't have let him come along... damnit... I'm so sorry Korra."

Korra shook her head and pulled me a bit closer against her form. "No worries, I handled it." She chuckled and turned her gaze towards me. "You're cold Sami, you alright?"

I nodded and smiled. I felt like I was in heaven with her arms around me. "m fine..." I mumbled and let my head rest on her shoulder again like before. I closed my eyes for only a moment and when I opened them again, I was no longer sitting up against my crush. Instead, I was laying right on top of her. All the lights were off and I could see people lay on the floor.

I looked at Korra, her eyes closed, her breath steady. I smiled and put my head back. nuzzled close against her warm neck and put my face in the crook of her neck. I took a deep wiff and made a mental note of how she smelled. One of my arms was wrapped around her, the other rested on Korra's chest. The hand of my arm rested on her shoulder and I gently squeezed it. Just to get a feel. I felt like some weird ass fan girl and I squealed internally. I'm terrible...

Korra shifted her position slightly while she slept and her hold around me tightened slightly. I can die happy now... sweet baby Raava... I let out a longing sigh and opened my eyes again. I looked at Korra's lips. How close I was and how easy it would be to just kiss them. I brought my hand up to cup one side of her face. My thumb gently rubbed her tan lips. My heart thundered in my chest when I moved ever so slightly. Afraid to wake her up. I swallowed hard and reached forward. My lips touched the corner of her mouth and I lingered there for a few more seconds.

I finally pulled back and I heard Korra sigh. For a second, I thought she was awake and I pulled back. To my relief, or disappointment, she wasn't so I settled back. My face in the crook of her neck and I fell asleep again not long after.

The next morning came and when I woke up, I was no longer laying on my Korra mattress. I blinked confused and looked around. I noticed then that I smelled something amazingly delicious. I got up and looked at the kitchen area. I saw Korra behind the stove, Opal, Bolin and Mako all sat at the kitchen bar and were eating eagerly.

She looked up at me and our eyes locked. She smiled immediately and I couldn't help but do the same. I slowly made my way over to the kitchen and sat down at one of the barstools. The others greeted me happily and Korra handed me a plate with pancakes. A glass of water and two pills. "In case your head is hurting." She said with a wink and I gladly accepted everything. I had a slight headache and swallowed the pills with some water. Once that was done, I started on.

It was Saturday today and all of us were off work until Monday. Korra showed me all the pictures she had made yesterday, including some from last night and some that were made while I was asleep. I giggled when I saw one where Mako stood behind Korra and flexed his arms. Korra did the same and her muscles were bigger.

Around noon, Mako, Bolin and Opal left. Opal said she wouldn't be back until later tonight. And in the end, we were the only ones left. After we had a shower and a change of clothes, we left as well. We went back into the city and we started to do some shopping. Getting Korra some souvenirs while she made more pictures along the way. We got hungry and got something to eat in a restaurant. Afterwards, we got back on our way and checked out some museums.

Finally, after she had several bags of stuff with stuff with her, we managed to get back home. We settled on the couch and we ordered a movie. We cuddled up under a blanket after we changed into more comfortable clothes. We watched the movie while we had some soda's with us and some popcorn in a bowl.

I swear that I didn't do it on purpose but during the third movie, I managed once again, to fall asleep against her. This time I didn't wake up during the night and slept right through the night. When I woke up the next morning, Korra was still asleep. Her head resting against mine and I didn't dare to move, afraid to wake her up if I did.

I stayed in the same position for a good thirty minutes before my crush woke up. She stretched her arms and her head was lifted off of mine. I turned my head slightly and smiled up at her sleepy face. "Heh... morning... you slept alright?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yeah... were you warm enough? You were shivering a bit last night before you fell asleep."

I nodded. "Yeah, I was, still am." I stretched and looked at my watch. It was already ten o'clock. Korra looked at my watch as well and she pouted.

"I guess I have to get ready... my train will be leaving around one in the afternoon."

"Oh..." I knew it was wrong but couldn't help it. I was disappointed that she had to leave and slowly pulled away from her.

Together, we prepared her backpack. I have no idea how but she managed to stuff everything she bought, into her already stuffed backpack. We had breakfast together and afterwards, we made our way over to the station again. When I looked at her while we were on our way, I saw that she smiled sadly at me.

"I really enjoyed myself... thanks for everything." She said and took a gentle hold onto my hand. My heart clenched in my chest and I hoped to Raava I didn't have any sweaty palms.

"I hope you'll come back soon? Would be nice... you can always stay with me."

We walked hand in hand to the station and Korra only let go because she had to shuffle through a small bag that was attached to her hip, to look for her travel papers. She eventually found them and we walked to the right platform together. We stood there, in silence. Thoughts raced through my head like cars on a racetrack. I need to tell her... just tell her! who knows how long it will take for you to see her again! Do it!

I swallowed hard and looked at her. My hands were shaking and there was a knot forming in my stomach. "K-Korra..." she looked at me expectantly. "I... Need to tell you someth-"

Korra's train came into the station and my voice drowned in the noise that the train made. I took a shuddering breath and once again lost my nerve. The train came to a halt and Korra kept staring at me. "Yes Sami? What is it?"

I shook my head. "N-nothing. I'm just sad you're leaving."

We walked to one of the train doors and waited for them to open. I looked at the ground, tears burned behind my eyes at my own cowardice. I felled horrible. A part of me just wanted to turn around and just run. Run away and not look back but her voice broke my train of thoughts.

"Asami? I have something for you..."

Both her hands cupped my face and I looked up at her. Before I knew what happened, her lips were pressed firmly against my own. I stood there, frozen. Unable to do something. Do something! Kiss her back! DO IT! She was about to pull back when I wrapped my arms around her and pushed back. I returned her kiss with as much passion as I could muster. Our eyes closed while we kissed. I felt that her tongue tried to get entrance and without a second thought, I let her in. I took in a sharp breath through my nose when I felt her tongue brush against mine and my insides seemed to have melted. We continued to kiss for a little longer before I pulled back slightly.

I gazed into her eyes, our foreheads rested against one another and our noses brushed ever so slightly. She smiled at me. "I wanted to do that for like... well... I guess ever since I first saw you."

I smiled and some tears escaped me when I pressed my lips against hers again. It didn't last as long as the first but I didn't care. She was about to pull back but my arms tightened around her, not wanting to let go. "Don't... don't leave... not yet. Please? Please stay..."

She smiled, looked over her shoulder at the train and then back at me. "Well... I guess I'll be staying a while longer..." and with that, she kissed me again. the sound of a whistle reached my ear, a sign that the train was leaving. I didn't care. Korra was staying! She's staying and she feels the same about me as I for her! I pulled back, looked at her and finally found back my voice to respond.

"Sounds perfect..."
