AN: there we go! The sort of second part the Boyfriend chapter. They aren't officially linked, but its fun to think it could be. Why else would the Korra from this one shot think Mako would be a bf after all?
And why would Korra of the Boyfriend story think Asami would be her gf?
Anyhow! Enjoy it darling! All your lovely comments made me publish this sooner than I had in mind, but you're all so sweet! COMMENTS GIEF LIFE!
Love ya'll!
Everything was black and all she felt was pain. When she tried to move, every muscle in her body started to protest. So she laid still again. Giving in to the darkness.
How did I get here again…? She tried to remember. It was vague but some parts came back to her. An explosion… Asami… Asami! I remember…-
"I think she's waking up. Korra…? Can you hear me…? Korra, squeeze my fingers again!"
The voice sounded desperate and she recognized it. Was it Mako? No… his voice would be deeper. Bolin? No… same thing.
"I know what I felt, Tonraq! She squeezed my fingers."
Asami… Asami was here with her. Wherever here was, was still a mystery. Korra was glad it was Asami. Although surprised it wasn't Mako. He's my boyfriend after all right? So… why isn't he here. Holding my hand. She didn't mind it was Asami though. The two had gotten close over the past years. Ever since Asami had joined team Avatar. Perhaps not from the very beginning… but Asami had taken care of her after Zaheer attacked her. Before that, she managed to get them out of several sticky situations. During her recovery, she only replied to the letters she received from the engineer. She felt like she could just tell her anything. After everything that happened to her she was still so kind, generous, sweet, beautiful…
Beautiful? Why am I thinking that…? Because she is? There's no denying it. Her soft pale skin. Those ruby lips. Her raven black hair that always smells so nice.
I need to stop… whatever happened to me, I think I hit my head a bit too hard… heh…
The more she thought about it, the more her brains came to the conclusion that Asami was more than just a friend. Could I be attracted to her? But, I'm with Mako. And Asami is a girl. Mako's my boyfriend. We've been together for a few months… we do stuff together like… and… well we… well we do fight a lot… She took a deep breath. The pain she felt before not so bad now. The more she thought about it, the more she came to the same conclusion.
I like Asami. I mean… I like -like- Asami. Is that... weird…? I dunno… They taught me how to fight in the years I was locked away from the world. They never taught me about love. About sex. She groaned. Ugh… sex… ha! I never even had sex. Well, with no one except myself that is... Another sigh followed. What would it be like… to do that with someone you care about. She started to think about it. A naked body laying next her own. She had seen Asami in her bathing suit and sleeping dress. She remembered pale skin that looked extremely soft. Delicate. Even in this state, she felt a shiver go down her spine that settled in the pit of her stomach.
"I know you can hear me, Korra… please… wake up…"
There it was again. Asami's voice. Pleading for her to wake up. Slowly but surely, Korra start to rise up from the darkness that surrounded her. A faint light now lured her forward. With the promise of seeing Asami again she forced herself.
"Look! Look! She's squeezing my hand! I told you!"
Asami… Asami! She tried to call out the name while getting closer to the light. It chased the darkness away and swallowed her whole. Her vision blurry while she blinked several times to regain focus. She was warm and comfortable. Laying in a bed in a white room.
"As… ami…?" Her voice cracked while she spoke. Slowly, her vision sharpened and her eyes locked with green ones. They looked red from crying. Tears still stained her cheeks. She cried… because of me…? Korra took a shuddering breath. Feeling more and more stable by the minute. "Asami… I'm…-" The rest of the sentence was lost when Ruby lips now locked with her own. She's kissing me… she's kissing me!? What!? Eyes open wide in shock and utter confusion. After a few seconds, the engineer pulled back. Her hands now cupped Korra's cheeks. Asami kissed her several times more. Tenderly on the lips and just around them as well. All Korra could do was just stare at her friend in shock.
Finally, Asami pulled back enough for Korra to see who else was in the room. Her father sat on the other side. Oh Raava… did he see all this!? And… Mako…? Why didn't he interfer! And… what the heck is going on! A deep blush decorated her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Korra… I know you're not keen on… public display of affection…" It was Asami, holding onto one of her tan hands. "But, I just… I'm just, so happy you're awake again…"
"You gave your girlfriend quite a scare there, Korra." Mako said. Arms crossed over his chest but a genuine smile on his lips. "She nearly bought the hospital and fired everyone." He chuckled and Asami blushed from his words.
"Oh shush, Mako…" She let out a nervous giggle, her hand still holding onto Korra's. "I just… got carried away. A bit."
Korra looked from Mako, to Asami, to her dad and back to Asami. "I… girlfriend…? I'm… I don't…" The expression on Asami's face changed. Saddened. It thugged at Korra's heartstrings. Oh Raava… please don't cry…!
"Y-you don't remember…?" She asked. Her voice trembled slightly from emotion. Tears in her beautiful green eyes. Ready to overflow. She even pulled her hand back slightly.
Korra didn't let her and held on tight. "No! I mean… I… I'm just…" Her thumb gently stroke the back of Asami's hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean…-"
"She's still confused from what happened. The explosion was so great that a building collapsed. Her body was heavily damaged. Not to mention the head trauma she suffered." Everybody looked at the surgeon who just walked into the room. A gentle smile on his face. "This is normal behaviour." He chuckled and walked over to Korra's side. Checking her chart. "How are you feeling, Avatar Korra?"
She looked at Asami who dried her tears. A faint smile on her lips. Before she turned to the surgeon. "Like a building collapsed on me…" She joked and she heard a soft giggle come from the woman next her. The sound of Asami's voice made her stomach flip several times, but in a good way. She couldn't suppress the bright and genuine smile on her own lips.
The man beside her chuckled too. "Well, that's to expected I suppose… do you feel any dizziness? Headaches? Nausea?"
She thought for a moment before she shook her head. "No… just… I seem to… have some trouble remembering things."
He nodded and adjusted his glasses. "Yes, I was afraid that might have been the case, in due time all should come back to you. I'm sure your girlfriend, friends and family will help you to recover any lost memories."
"We sure will. When can she leave the hospital, doctor?" It was Mako who asked. Seemingly eager to go. Hospitals never were his thing.
He checked her chart again. "Well, she woke up today. She can leave whenever. But she will still be bed bound for a while and need some help with getting around." He looked at Korra. "Your leg still needs to heal. It was broken in three different places and we did the best we could. You should be fine, as long as you don't push yourself."
Korra smiled faintly and nodded. "Alright… well I guess I can-"
"Stay with me." Asami blurted out the words before she had realized it. "I mean… if you want… you… can stay with me. I can keep you company and help you around." She had a deep blush on her cheeks. "Only if you want of course!"
Korra looked at the heiress and felt her own cheeks burn as fiercely as Asami's. She swallowed hard before she was able to give any sort of reply. "You… really? You don't mind?"
Mako rolled his eyes and Tonraq let out a hearty laugh. "You think she would mind having her girlfriend around more often? I doubt it, Korra." Mako said and laughed out loud. Fist bumping Tonraq.
And so it was arranged before Korra had realized it. Papers were filled and signed before Korra was transferred to the Sato mansion. She was moved to the master bedroom. The room where Asami slept.
Her reasoning being: "I can keep a better eye on you that way…!"
Korra didn't mind. Asami had taken the words of the doctor at heart and helped Korra around, but didn't push or force her into talking or anything else she didn't want. Which Korra appreciated greatly. She still had to get used to the entire 'girlfriend' ordeal but when Asami suggested that she'd sleep on the couch of her own bedroom, that's where she drew the line.
"Come on Asami. You're in your own house. Your own bedroom! If anything, I should be sleeping on the couch!"
"What? No! You're hurt! And besides… you don't remember that… we're." She swallowed hard and fumbled with her fingers in front of her. She wore just a red sleeping dress that reached just above her knees.
Korra felt horrible for putting her through all this but she patted the spot next her on the bed. "Come here… please?" she added the last word with as much emotion as possible. It convinced the pale beauty to do as she was asked. Walking to and crawling onto the bed but keeping a respectable distance between them both. Korra wasn't happy with it at all and started to shift position so she could scoot closer to her friend. She let out a pained groan, which caused Asami to react and get closer, just like Korra wanted her to.
"You really need to be more careful swee…- Korra…" She said and settled Korra carefully against the pillows that rested against the headboard.
Korra chuckled softly but nodded. "Very." She said and sighed in content. One of her hands searched for Asami's. Giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'm sorry that I don't… remember." She said, the sadness in her voice clear as day.
"Don't be. It's not your fault, Korra. It was an accident." She sighed deeply but smiled genuinely. "I can wait… I love you." Her eyes widened in shock. "Oh Raava, I'm sorry!"
Korra's eyes were wide open too and looked directly into those amazing green orbs. She let go of the engineers hand and cupped her face instead. Calming her down. "I love you too." The words were out before she knew it. Before she had time to let Asami's words sink in. She had reacted on instinct and it felt right to say these words. How smoothly they came out. "I love you, Asami." She said it again and all that the pale beauty could do was stare. "I might not remember much… but, the way I feel… I can't deny it and this is how I feel."
Asami took a shuddering breath which she released slowly through her nose. She put her hand on Korra's that rested against her cheek. Korra couldn't help it. Her eyes moved from Asami's to her pink lips. Licking her own subconsciously. "I…" She moved her other hand to cup Asami's other cheek. Pulling her closer. "Can… can I…" She asked, her tone hardly above a whisper. Asami just nodded feverishly. Her pale hands resting on Korra's hips. Sliding slowly onto her back the closer they moved to one another.
Finally, the gap was closed and their lips locked in a kiss. It was innocent and chaste. Lips just moved against each other until Asami felt Korra's tongue brush over her bottom lip. Instantly giving the Avatar access and welcomed her in. A moan escaped the heiress when their tongues touched ever so slowly. Her heart hammered in her chest. Matching Korra's own.
Loving and warm hands cupped her face and held her in place. As if Asami wanted to move away. She loved the Avatar. No, not just the Avatar. She loved Korra, above anything else. The person behind the power. Had Korra been a normal bender, she would have caught her attention too. Asami didn't need the all powerful Avatar to complete her. She wanted Korra. The girl from the Southern Water tribe. The girl she fought along side with. The girl she loved and who became her girlfriend. The girl who took her breath away and made her heart swell with nothing but love. The girl who just happened to be, the Avatar. Korra, from the Southern Watertribe. She was the one who completed her. Who gave her life meaning.
Tears slid down her pale cheeks. Happy tears. During their intimate kiss, she sniffled and Korra pulled away. Causing her to open her eyes and look directly into worried sapphires. "What's wrong…?" Korra's voice showed worry and concern. "Why are you sad…?" Asami just smiled and shook her head. Cupping Korra's face.
"These… these are happy tears." She whispered. As if scared the words themselves might break. "I'm so happy, Korra. You've no idea." She sniffled again and Korra brushed away some of the stray tears. Still not fully convinced. "You, losing part of your memory…" She paused for a moment and took a deep, shuddering breath. "I thought I lost you… that you had forgotten about me."
Korra pecked Asami's lips tenderly before resting their foreheads together. "I could -never- forget you, Asami." She shifted position slightly, mindful of her injured leg and pulled the engineer on them to sit on. Supporting her with the healthy leg. Waving away any concern and protest from the beautiful heiress. Pale legs now wrapped around her waist. A smile on her lips. "You pulled me through some of the darkest days of my life. You were the light, my light, that lead me out of the darkness that swallowed me whole." She took a deep breath before she continued. "I love you, with all that I was. All that I am and all I'll ever be." Her arms wrapped around Asami's waist. She snuggled against the other woman, just below her chin. Seeking even more warmth and affection. Inhaling the familiar scent of jasmine and oil.
Asami wrapped her arms around Korra. Keeping the Southerner close and kissed the top of her head. All her worries and fears had been for nothing. She had been so scared of losing her girlfriend when she laid there in that hospital bed. Afraid of losing her after all. After everything they had been through. But not anymore. They would face whatever the world would throw at them. Together.
Asami pulled back to look down at her girlfriend, who looked right back at her with nothing but love and adoration in her eyes. A pale hand cupped her face and lovingly caressed the skin. A smile on both their lips. Both ready for what would come next but there was healing to be done first. They knew it and accepted it. Asami leaned in. Slowly closing the gap between them and aimed for Korra's lips. She parted her own and whispered only two words, before they shared a kiss.
"Welcome home."
