AN: I believe in chapter 30 I showed you all some samples for a one/two shots story. Today I managed to finish one of them since I became very inspired after one of you asked me if I would be able to finish it somewhere in the furture. I kinda went overboard with it, as I usually do... lol, its 13 pages long with over 3k words.

Its a darker 2 shot, based on real life events that still happen in this year and age. Young lesbian/bixesual women who are trying to be 'cured' in ways I find horrible and disgusting. I doubt anyone has ever been 'cured' of anything thanks to rape.

As always, I'll not go into detail but I'm sure you'll know what will happen. Don't worry, it won't happen until the very end of this piece.

No matter the subject, I hope you'll read it.

Korra sat in her bed. Her back against the pillows stacked behind her. Her hair was loose and hung over her shoulders. Her eyes focussed on something outside, although her mind was mixed in a battle with her inner self.

Why am I like this? Why am I so confused? She sighed deeply. Girls are supposed to like guys, right? So why didn't I feel this way when I was with Mako…? The young Avatar let out a frustrated sigh and let her head lean back against the pillows. Her eyes now towards the ceiling.

She gritted her teeth when her leg muscles started to spasm. A few tears rolled down her cheeks while she tried to ignore the pain as best she could. Oh come on… Not now…! She grabbed her bedsheets with both hands which caused the muscles in her hands to hurt as well.

Please… Just make it stop! It hurts! She started to twist and turn weakly. Anything to make the pain disappear. It caused her to loose balance and instead that the pain was gone, she fell out of bed and crashed onto the wooden floor of her bedroom. Now her limbs were hurting and she had a headache as well.

She growled in frustration and tried to push herself off of the wooden floor. With no such luck. Her legs were not moving and her arms were unable to push her even an inch off the floor. Come on! You can do it! Try harder!

I can't… I can't do it…! With all her might and the last of her strength she tried a final time but collapsed back on the floor. You used to do so many push ups everyday. Then again… You were probably showing off to…-

"Korra!"

Her.

The voice of her friend made her flinch but she was relieved to hear it. "Asami…?" Before she knew it, gentle hands turned her around and helped her get back on her bed.

The Heiress smiled at the young Avatar and soaked a piece of cloth in a bowl of water. "I heard noise… I came as quickly as I could." She said, her voice soft and warm as she wipes the sweat off of Korra's forehead.

Korra closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation of the cool water on her heated skin and smiled. "Thank you…"

Asami just continued to smile while she held the washcloth and moved it over Korra's skin. She had done her face and moved to Korra's neck. A faint blush showed on her cheeks when she heard her friend moan in content. "W-what… What happened…?" She asked and did her best not to look at Korra's chest. How it rose and fell with each breath she took. She quickly looked at the Southerners face again. Just in time for those Sapphires to open and lock with her own.

"I… uhh… I was trying to… Get rid of the pain in my muscles…" She swallowed hard, her heart thundering in her chest. Her eyes slid down Asami's face, to her elegant, long neck. Her eyes continued to go down and it's then that she noticed what her friend was wearing. She wore -nothing- more than a crimson red dressing gown. She swallowed hard, unable to pull her eyes away from Asami's cleavage.

I'm staring… why can't I stop staring!? I need to stop staring! "Wh… y-you… you're… not wearing any c-clothes…?" She eventually managed to stutter. Her face red and hot from embarrassment. Her eyes locking with Asami's brilliant Emeralds.

The Heiress smiled shyly and pulled her gown a bit tighter. Showing off a lot less of her breasts then Korra liked. "Ah… yes, I kinda was about to hop into the shower when I heard you. I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable?"

"I… no, It's.. well you're…"

Asami giggled softly and used the washing cloth again to wipe some sweat from her friends face. "You said your muscles were hurting right? I can massage them for you if you'd like."

Korra smiled and nodded. Grateful for the change of topic. "Y-yeah… thanks Asami."

"You have some oil or something…? If not, I can always get some of my lotion. You know, the one you like so much."

"The… what? How do you know I like it?" Korra asked confused, not sure if she ever told her friend.

"You told me once. A little while ago even. I remember." She smiled and got up after putting the washing cloth back in the bowl. "I'll be right back." She said and disappeared through the door, to come back only a minute or so later. Still only dressed in that one piece of clothing.

The engineer settled on the edge of the bed once again and pulled the blankets away. "Could you take off your pants Korra? Skin on skin contact is a lot easier, even more so when I use the lotion."

"I… uh, sure… could you give me a hand?" She asked shyly. The muscles in her arms would never be able to handle that much work, how little it may seem for some.

Asami nodded understandingly and hooked some fingers behind the waistband of Korra's pants. She slowly pulled them down, afraid that she, somehow, might hurt her friend. After Korra's thighs were exposed, she put some lotion on her hands and rubbed them together before placing them on Korra's right thigh. She felt some muscles still spasm under her fingers and hands as she worked on them and kneaded carefully. "I'm not hurting you, am I?" She asked softly while she focussed on the task at hand.

"Mhn… no… feels really nice…" She let out a sigh of content and closed her eyes. Relaxing as Asami worked on her muscles. After a little while, she opened her eyes. Since the Heiress was focused on her thigh for the moment, Korra let her eyes slide over her friend's form. She stared at Asami's hands. How they worked on her muscles. How different they looked when she compared their skin color. Korra smiled at herself and her gaze moved up Asami's arms. Up till the part where her neck met with her shoulder. She felt her face heat up slightly.

For some reason, she wished she could touch the skin and find out how it felt. I bet her skin is silky soft… and smells like strawberries. Or jasmine. Her eyes wandered off to Asami's chest.

She took a shuddering breath when she saw the slightest hint of her friend's cleavage. She could feel her face burn like she had been sitting in the sun for too long. She swallowed hard and her heart rate increased drastically. She's so beautiful… She smiled shyly but reluctantly pulled her eyes away and her eyes moved back up. Her breath was stuck in her throat when her eyes locked with Asami's. Oh Spirits…

"Did you like what you see…?" There was no anger in her voice and a faint smile on her lips.

"I.. I didn't… I wasn't… I…" There was no denying it really.

Asami sat up straight. The smile on her lips never faded. "You weren't looking at my breasts…?"

Oh my Spirits… she caught me! No nononono! "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry Asami I didn't mean to I…!" She panicked and started to hyperventilate.

"Korra, Korra please look at me. Calm down. I'm not angry." She placed a gentle hand on Korra's chest to put more power behind her words. It seemed to work. Korra started to breathe slower and looked the Heiress shamefully in the eye.

"I'm sorry…" She whispered, tears burned in her eyes and she quickly turned her gaze back to the window. "I'm a freak…" She continued on the same tone. She closed her eyes and a tear broke free.

"Korra… why would you even say that?"

She let out a helpless sound that was a mix between a laugh and a sob. "Girls… a-are supposed to l-like guys… d-don't they…?" She asked and sniffled. "T-then why… why didn't…" She bit her lower lip. Her hands clenched into fists.

"Korra, you can talk to me." Her one hand still rested on Korra's chest and the other moved to one of Korra's hands. She held tightly onto it and squeezed it affectionately. "Korra, you can't choose who you like, who you don't like. I believe that we are destined to be with someone from birth. Be it a man or a woman." The hand that had rested on Korra's chest, now cupped the Avatar's face. She urged the Southerner to look at her. "Do you doubt your sexuallity…?"

Her breath was caught in her throat again and all she could was nod. She took a deep breath to calm her thundering heart. "I… j-j… ust… d-don't know… what…"

"Do you find girls attractive?" She asked carefully and Korra nodded again. She looked at her friend with compassion and understanding. She felt like this once too. "Korra… you know there's nothing wrong with you, right? Are you sure you like girls? Have you ever…"

Korra's eyes went wide and she shook her head feverishly. "N-no! No I… I've never…!"

"It's okay, it's okay calm down. I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked. I'm just very surprised. I mean… I thought you and Mako…"

Korra swallowed hard and shook her head again. "No… we… never got to it really. I realised that I liked him more as a friend than as my boyfriend…" She looked Asami straight in the eye. "Did you and he…"

Asami smiled shyly but shook her head. "No… I was to young back then. I didn't know him long enough. We dated for only a few months. I'm not that kind of woman. My first time will be with someone special. Someone I love. Someone I could call my friend and my lover." She said with a wink.

Korra smiled faintly at the Heiress and calmed down immensely. She let out a sigh of relief. The gentle caress she received tugged at her heart strings. Asami gently rubbed the back of her hand with her thumb.

"Do you want to know for sure…?"

Korra blinked confused. "What do you mean…?"

A faint blushed showed on Asami's pale cheeks. "Do you want to know for sure you like girls…? Since you said you're not sure yet."

"Oh… well… if there was a way…" Korra said, nodding slowly. "I guess it would be good for me to know at least that." She said with a dry chuckle. "I don't know how I would know though. I guess… I could if there was a girl that…" She looked at Asami with curious eyes. Realization slowly began to sink in.

Asami just smiled at her friend. One of her perfect eyebrows raised. Amused.

"Oh… Oh! Wait… what!?" Korra watched while Asami moved position. She settled on Korra's lap. A leg on either side of the Avatar, whose face was once again as red as Asami's lipstick. "W-whaaa… what are… you doing?" She asked nervously. She was very surprised that the weight on top of her felt pleasant.

"Helping you. I told you. I'd do anything to make you feel better." She said and settled comfortably on Korra's lap. Making sure she didn't hurt her friend in the process.

"B-but I'm sure t-this isn't wha-what you had in mind w-when you made that promise!" She took a shuddering breath when Asami's hand gently, almost lovingly, stroke her cheek.

"I said I'd do anything. I meant it… really. You're doubting yourself… you're not sure about something and if I can help you this way, then I will. End of story." She moved her hand over Korra's jaw line until she reached her tan lips. "I'm sure all will be clear for you now…" Her index finger lingered on her lips for a few seconds longer before she pulled back and sat up straight.

Korra couldn't say no. Didn't want to either if she was truly honest with herself. Her heart once again thundered in her chest. It was beating so hard and so fast she was afraid it might break free from her chest and jump out. She felt nervous but not in a bad way. A lump formed in her throat and she tried to swallow when pale hands moved to the edge of her red dressing gown. Slowly but surely, Asami pulled her gown down to reveal her bare chest underneath.

Oh. My. Spirits. Korra looked at Asami's breasts and her heart seemed to have skipped several beats in the process. They were firm and didn't seem too big. Close to her own size even. Pink nipples hard due to a slight breeze. Korra's own hands were resting on Asami's thighs. For some reason, some sort of reflex, her hands moved slightly. She wanted to touch that soft skin, but changed her mind at the last second. Asami had noticed nonetheless.

"Go ahead…" Asami encouraged her friend. Her voice soft. "It's okay… really…" She placed her own hands on Korra's and helped move them up her own body. The gown rested around her waist and the first skin Korra came in touch with, was that of Asami's hips.

A whimper escaped the Avatar. She took a deep, trembling breath and released a content, longing sigh. "That… you… you're so soft…" She whispered and Asami just smiled.

She let go of her friends hands to let her explore on her own. Instead, she rested her hands on Korra's biceps. She felt Korra's hands move up her hips and she had half expected that she would've gone for her breasts. Instead, Korra's hands moved to her back and weakly pulled her close. Her head now rested against Asami's chest. Just above her breasts and the Heiress smiled. A blush still present on her cheeks. She's so sweet…

It took Korra a few minutes before she pulled back. Her hands had caressed Asami's back the entire time and the Heiress had loved every second of it. Her arms had been wrapped around Korra's shoulders. One hand gently scratched the back of Korra's neck affectionately. Once Korra had pulled back, she let her hands rest on the Avatar's biceps again. Her thumbs tenderly moved over the skin while Korra continued her journey.

She sucked in a deep breath when Korra's hands moved back to the front. First they stroke her flat stomach tenderly, before they moved up. Hesitantly. Asami kept a close eye on Korra's reaction. Made sure she didn't panic. Her own heart started to race when she felt one hand gently cup her left breast.

"Are… you okay…" Korra asked nervously. Ready to pull her hand back at any given sign if Asami didn't like it.

"I'm… okay. Really." She assured her friend. "Really... " The blush on her cheeks darkened. "It feels nice when… you do this…" She admitted.

Korra smiled up at the Heiress. "I'm glad… thank you… for everything…" She let out a content sigh and leaned forward. Her hands found their way around Asami's waist. They came to a stop on the small of her back while her head rested on her shoulder. "This really is nice… you're so soft… but strong. And you smell so nice…" Korra turned her face slightly and the black mass of Asami's hair now tickled her nose. She took a deep whiff.

"I couldn't agree more…" She let out a soft giggle. Her own hands stroke Korra's back.

Without thinking, Korra brushed her lips over the soft skin of Asami's neck. So soft… She tenderly kissed the skin but pulled back when she heard Asami whimper. "W-what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" She asked nervously.

She shook her head and her heart swelled from Korra's concern. "No… no I'm okay. I… really liked what you did…" She bit her lip. Unsure if she should ask what she had in mind. "Could… you continue…?"

Korra's eyes nearly shone from happiness and she gave her friend the slightest nod. The Avatar moved back into her former position. Her cheek brushed against Asami's and both women were content. Asami let out a sigh of happiness. Enjoying this intimate moment with her friend and rubbed her cheek against Korra's. Without thinking, she turned her head. Her lips brushed over dark skin. Just below Korra's earlobe and the Southerner shivered.

Asami didn't pull back. Instead, she tried to move forward. Her chest pressed firmly against Korra's form while they continued this gentle dance of discovery. The butterflies in the engineers stomach were going rampage. She nearly lost it when she felt Korra's lips continuously kiss her neck. She swallowed hard. Her eyes closed when she decided that she'd do the exact same.

Her lips touched dark skin once again and she savored the salty taste. Her eyes closed, she took a shuddering breath and whimpered. Her arms around Korra's waist. She left a trail of kisses on each inch of skin she found. Unaware that Korra moved slightly. Leaving kisses on Asami's jawline. She too took in a shuddering breath. Her arms wrapped around Asami's torso to feel the Heiress as close as humanly possible.

The sounds that her friend made. No matter how soft and how hard that Asami tried to hold them back. Korra heard them. It ignited something completely new inside her. Something she had never felt before. Somewhere down in the pit of her belly. A flame was ignited, which slowly grew bigger. She let out another deep, content sigh. "Asami…" She whispered breathless. She felt the woman pull back slightly. Those amazing green eyes looked right into her own and she never felt so vulnerable. So bare.

She pulled one hand back from around Asami's waist and cupped her face instead. Her thumb slowly moved over pink lips and she absentmindedly licked her own. Blue eyes met one more time with worried Emeralds before they settled again on Asami's lips.

"Korra…? What's wron...-" The engineer was silenced when Korra pressed her lips against her own. A hand at the back of her head held her in place. She gladly surrendered herself to the Avatar. Her own hands cupped Korra's face in this tender moment. Her heart was racing. She hardly dared to move and almost forgot how to breathe in general. Korra took a gentle hold onto her hair and parted her lips slightly. The engineer was sure she was going to faint, when she felt the slightest presence of Korra's tongue that brushed over her lower lip.

She was about to answer Korra's silent plea when the door of Korra's room swung open. Both girls flinched and Korra immediately pulled away from the Heiress. Asami pulled her robe back up and covered herself. Her shock turned into anger when she saw Mako stand in the doorway. His mouth and eyes open wide.

"What the fuck!? What the hell are you two doing?!" He shrieked.

Korra looked like she wanted to be swallowed whole by the earth. "I… we… I just…" She stuttered. Not making any sense. She didn't know where to look in shame. Her hands clenched onto the bedsheets. Tears clouded her eyes.

Asami sat on the bed's edge and felt for her friend. She gave Korra's hand a reassuring squeeze before she turned her attention to Mako. "First of all, it's really none of your business what we were doing but I was helping her. Second, you have no right to just barge in here like you did."

"Helping her? With what!?"

"To help her understand her feelings." Asami remained calm while she let Mako rage.

"Feelings? What feelings? What the fuck are you talking about!"

"A-asami w-was trying to… h-help me understand… h-help me figure out if I liked girls." Korra suddenly said. Her hand never let go of Asami's. "I…-"

"You don't like girls! What on earth makes you think it's okay to even think that!? It's disgusting! It's an illness that effects the simple minded among us. Makes you think you like your own gender. You're a freak!"

"Enough Mako! You broke up with Korra! You have no right to even be here! Get out! Now!" Asami had gotten off of the bed and stood toe to toe with the Firebender.

"She just hasn't found the right man yet. You'll see. She's just confused. The state she's in. She's just ill. The right man can cure her from it."

Asami narrowed her eyes. "And you think you're that man? You dated us both. Cheated on us both. And now you barge in here like this. Thinking you're the man? Get out!" She used both hands to push him backwards. Out of the room.

"What are you doing Asami! Can't you see she needs help?" He tried but she just continued to push him out. "She's sick! She needs help!"

With a final push, he was out and before she slammed the door shut, she took a deep breath and answered him. "Well, I guess I'm sick too then." Before he could say another word, the door was slammed shut in front of him. She grumbled several more insults under her breath before she settled back on the bed. Right next to her friend. "What. And. Asshole. Unbelieveable!" She sighed but took Korra's hands in both of hers.

"You… you like girls?" Korra's voice was soft. Unsure. It caused the engineer to look up at her friend and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I… I do yes. But I like boys too." She looked down at their hands. Her thumbs gently caressing Korra's skin. "Although I'm more attracted to girls. I don't know why." She smiled and looked back up. "I guess cause girls are…"

"Soft? And they smell good?"

Asami let out a soft giggle but nodded. "I guess that's it yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me?" It wasn't an accusation, she was simply curious.

"I don't know." She said honestly and shrugged. "I found out I was interested in girls some years ago. Back when I still went to school. I accepted that I was the way I was. Even told my father and he never made a problem of it. As long if I could get him a granddaughter or son eventually." She said with a chuckle and Korra laughed too.

"Heh… I wonder if my parents will react the same way." She let out a deep sigh and looked down at her own hands. A gentle hand cupped her face and made her look back up.

"I'm sure they will. Knowing your parents, your father might want to share some secret art of lady bending with you." Korra blinked but started to laugh out loud and Asami joined in.

"Oh my Spirits Asami! Lady bending!" She stuttered between laughing fits.

The two remained in Korra's room for quite a while longer than Asami had intended. To see her friend being able to smile again overwhelmed her with joy. It felt good to laugh again. She had always loved Korra's laugh. Her smile. Those brilliant blue eyes that could focus on something in the distance. She had not been blind to her growing feelings for Korra. Perhaps, one day, Korra would feel the same way. For now, Asami settled for being close to her friend. Help her through whatever came onto her path.

In the midsts of it all, Asami yawned. "Oh… Raava, I'm sorry." She giggled.

Korra giggled too. "You should get that shower… and get some sleep. You're going back to work again, won't you? Tomorrow?"

Asami nodded. "Yeah, I'm going to pay a visit to the factory. See how business is going. Unless you want me to stay?"

Korra smiled but slowly shook her head. "I'd love you to stay, but you have your own life and company to think of too… I'll be okay."

Although Asami felt slightly disappointed, she nodded at her friend's words. "I'll see you in a few days… okay?" She leaned in and kissed the corner of Korra's mouth before she got off of the bed and headed to the door. "Bye Korra…"

Korra's stomach seemed like it did a backflip when Asami kissed her like that. She waved at her friend when she stood near the open door. "B-bye Asami… and thanks. For everything." The Heiress winked and eventually disappeared through the door. Closing it softly behind her. Korra sighed happily when she relaxed against the pile of pillows behind her back. Replaying what had happened. The butterflies in her stomach went rampage and she giggled to herself. She was lucky to call Asami her friend.

She bit her lower lip while she thought back of what they had done today. We were so… close… so intimate… A blush decorated her cheeks when she thought back of earlier today and a nervous giggle escaped her. Spirits I'm acting like some crazy teenager who's in love. She let the words sink in slowly. In love… wait… in love? With… Asami? She swallowed hard. Her mind once again replaying what had happened today. The kisses. The gentle touches. The meaningful gazes. She gasped at her own discovery. "I'm in love with Asami!?"

While Korra had an inner battle with her feelings. The door of her room opened. She heard it and smiled. "Asami? Did you forget someth..-" Her eyes grew wide in fear when she saw who it was that walked into her room. "W-what… are you doing here…?"

He closed and locked the door behind him before his Amber eyes focussed back on the young Avatar before him. "I'm here to cure you..."
