Blue
It was funny how big something as simple as a change of colour could be, but for as long as Korra had known Asami, the other woman had always preferred blacks and reds. Korra didn't mind. Asami looked great in black and red. Heck, she looked great in pretty much anything.
But Asami wasn't wearing black today, and she wasn't wearing red either.
No, for their first official function as a couple, Asami had chosen to wear blue. There was the dark blue of the ocean and the light blue of the sky. There was the pale blue of ice and the deep blue of night.
A low murmur ran through the crowd of dignitaries that were in attendance – they were dedicating some new bridge that had been built – when they noticed what Asami was wearing. There had been rumours about them for some time now, of course, but they hadn't made a formal statement yet.
Quite frankly, Korra didn't think it was anyone's business whom she was with, but Asami had wisely pointed out that they couldn't ignore the press forever. At some point, they would have to say something or the rumours would get out of control. When Asami had offered to handle the matter, Korra had been only too happy to let her. Asami had always been better at dealing with the press than her.
And Asami had done it again.
Without saying a single word about it, the other woman had made their relationship clear. Blue wasn't just any colour. It was the colour of the Southern Water Tribe. It was Korra's colour – and Asami was wearing it.
Korra couldn't keep the smile off her face as she wrapped one arm around Asmai and led her through the crowd.
"You are a genius," Korra murmured.
Asami smiled. "I know."

Author's Notes
As always, I do not own Legend of Korra. I am not making any money off of this either.
Because Asami is awesome that way…
As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
