Asami sighed as she shifted position slightly on the uncomfortable chair she had decided to sit on a few hours prior. It had seemed promising when this auction had started but now? Now she just wanted to go home.

She was about to get up when the voice of the auctioneer boomed through the speakers.

"Alriiiight ladies and gentlemen! Now for the last auction of today, we have a special guest who decided to donate time for charity! The amount of money that this auction will bring in will be donated to the animal shelters of republic city!" The man behind the microphone smiled as the crowd applauded. "Now, this special guest isn't a new face in our streets, she's been here for a while and bends the elements like no other!"

Elements..? As in, more than one? Asami's eyes widened when the words sunk in. No… it can't be…

"Give a big welcome to Avatar Korra!" The crowd went wild as the Avatar appeared on stage, waving.

"Hello." Korra smiled as she looked around. Her smile grew bigger when she spotted Asami who was sitting on the front row.

The owner of future industries waved back shyly, not sure what to think. What in Raava's name made her think this was a good idea… She pondered, fixated on her friend instead of listening to what the auctioneer was saying. She only caught the end of his explanation.

"..and she will kiss the highest bidder for at least 20 seconds! We're starting at five thousand yuans!"

Wait.. she will do what now?! The bidding started off immediately. Bids coming from left and right as the auctioneer continued to go higher and higher. Korra, in the the meanwhile, just stood there on stage, being the awkward dork that she is. She looked nervous and continued to look towards Asami as if she was expecting her to do something.

Is she waiting for me to bid..? No, I'm imagining things. She watched her friend closely, unsure of what to do.

In the meanwhile, more and more men from the crowd started to bid. The amount of money now around a hundred thousand yuan. She looked over her shoulder to who had done the last bid and saw a woman in her early forties. What? Are you kidding me… Another bid from a gentleman around the same age as the woman.

"Seems there are a few eager to lock lips with the Avatar! Who will win those lips and a date with the Avatar ladies and gentlemen!" The words boomed through the room as the two continued to bid. The man eventually gave up and the woman grinned, looking full of herself.

"And we reached the amazing height of hundredfifty thousand yuans ladies and gentlemen! Going once!"

Asami turned back to the stage and looked directly at Korra who seemed to be close to a nervous breakdown. She looked at one of Korra's hands which rested on her hips. Then she finally noticed the small gesture to go higher. She looked from the hand back to Korra's face and they locked eyes. Korra was pleading.

"Three hundred thousand yuans!" Asami screamed and the entire room was silent for a moment, even the auctioneer was silent, his mouth half open, before he yelled. "SOLD!"

Asami's heart was pounding. There was a slight pink on her cheeks when she got up and walked up onto the stage to claim her auction.

Korra looked relieved to say the least, although there was a familiar pink color showing on her tanned cheeks.

"Alright miss Sato! Congratulations with your auction. We hope you will use it well." The man laughed and stepped aside, giving Asami a full view on her friend. "Well, Avatar Korra… ready for those 20 seconds?" She asked, biting her lower lip playfully. She was surprised how even her voice was while her heart was thundering in her chest.

Korra smired. "Was about to ask you the same thing, miss Sato." She got closer to the CEO, her hands placed on Asami's hips. Pale hands cupped her face and Asami slowly closed the gap between them.

It was a wonderful feeling and those twenty seconds were far too short to Asami's opinion. Korra's lips had been everything she had imagined them to be and the slight brush of her tongue had caused the butterflies in her stomach to go rampage.

After the twenty seconds, Asami pulled back reluctantly, her face showing a darker shade of pink this time. They were lead off of the stage and both walked outside after Asami paid the amount of money she had bid.

"For a moment there I thought you didn't get my hints." Korra said, sounding more relieved now that they were outside.

Asami chuckled. "I wasn't sure you were but when I saw those puppy eyes of yours, pleading to be saved…" She winked at the Avatar who rolled her eyes.

"Sure… saving… so you didn't enjoy kissing me then?"

"Oh I did.. and I'd like to do it again." She said shyly.

Korra stopped in her tracks and looked at her friend. "You.. mean it?" She asked, unsure if she had heard correctly.

"I do." She had stopped too but didn't look at Korra directly. "I like you, a lot, Korra." She admitted, not really expecting any response. Certainly not the one she actually received.

Korra took a gentle hold onto Asami's chin and made her look her in the eye. "I like you too.. a lot." This time, it was Korra who closed the gap between them.

Their second kiss was better than the first one. Asami's hands once agains cupped Korra's cheeks, keeping her close, not wanting to let go.

Korra's hands snuck around Asami's waist, pulling her flush against her own body. Her other hand rested on the back of Asami's head.

This kiss lasted longer than the first, much longer. When they eventually broke it, they were equally breathless. Their cheeks flushed and their breaths ragged. Korra gently touched Asami's nose with her own, their foreheads resting against one another.

"I've been dreaming about that… you, kissing me." She said, still trying to regain some control over her breathing and failed. She ended pressing her lips once again against Asami's, their kiss deepened when the engineer spread her lips ever so slightly to let Korra in. The Avatar needed no second invitation and let her tongue explore. She shuddered when she came in contact with Asami's. The pale beauty's hands had moved, one was buried in Korra's chestnut colored hair and holding on for dear life. The other had managed to snuck around Korra's waist, pulling her closer.

The kiss was broken by Asami this time, gasping for air while her lungs burned. "I think.. we need to go to my place. Or your place… I don't care, whatever place is closest." She said breathlessly. Her hands now holding onto Korra's close, not wanting to let go.

"Alright…" She said, equally breathless and weak knees. "Sounds perfect." She whispered, her cheeks hurting from the smile that felt like it would stay there forever.
