"You do realise that I can't bend, right?"

Korra grinned at Asami. "Just because you can't bend doesn't mean that you can't learning bending forms. Besides, you're already a martial artist, Asami. Most of these forms can still be used, even if they're not quite the same without bending."

"Not quite the same?" Asami chuckled. "I think not being able to hurl lumps of rock at people is a bit more than not quite he same." She paused. "But I have always wanted to learn… a lot of the forms are beautiful in their own way."

"That's the spirit." Korra beckoned Asami over. "What kind of forms would you like to learn first? How about some airbending forms? They're great for relaxing."

Asami raised one eyebrow and gave Korra a mock scowl. "Are you saying that I need to relax?"

"Maybe just a little bit." Korra ducked under the half-hearted punch Asami threw and help up both her hands. "Hey, I'm just calling it like I see it. You've been busy lately, and I know there's a good reason for that, but you could maybe relax a little more, and airbending forms always help me relax when I'm stressed. Some of them need a lot of room, but there are some you could even do in your office."

"Is that so?" Asami slipped off her jacket and stood beside Korra. "Then by all means, show me."

"Gladly." Korra took up a stance. "We'll start with an easy one…"

"You know, it's really not fair." Korra poked Asami in the side and pouted. "Do you have to be good at everything? I mean, seriously, do you?"

Asami wiped some sweat off her brow and laughed. "I thought you like that I was good at everything." She gave Korra a mischievous smile. "You certainly weren't complaining when I –"

"No mentioning that!" Korra blushed. "But, really, are you sure you've never done these bending forms before?"

"I'm sure. My father always preferred that I focus on non-bending martial arts." Asami sighed. "I always that it was because I couldn't bend but…"

"Hey, he loved you." Korra put one arm around her. "Even if he was kind of a jerk sometimes."

"He did, didn't he?" Asami smiled faintly. "And he could be a jerk sometimes."

"Anyway," Korra said. "Let's get back to the point: how are you so good at these forms?"

"I don't know." Asami shrugged and gave Korra a teasing look. "Natural talent maybe?"

Korra's eye twitched. "I'm the Avatar, and you learnt these forms in a couple of hours. It took me weeks to get them down. That's not fair. It's… I don't know what it is, but it's not fair."

Asami pressed a kiss to Korra's cheek. "This might have been the first time I actually did these forms, but you're forgetting a few things."

"Am I?"

"Yes. I was there when you started learning these forms, Korra. They're airbending forms, remember? And I distinctly remember offering a few suggestions when you got stuck, not to mention that I've watched you or Opal do them dozens of times."

"Hmm… you do have a point there." Korra smiled hopefully. "But did it work? Do they help you relax?"

"I think so." Asami eased away and took up a stance. "There is something relaxing about the movements, but there's more to it than that. Whenever I go through these forms, I'll think of the past couple of hours. And that, Korra, helps a lot."

"It does, huh?" Korra put her hands on her hips and smirked. "Does that mean I get a reward?"

"It does." Asami waved her over, and Korra leaned in close. But rather than kiss her, Asami opted to whisper in her ear. "I'll drive you home instead of making you walk back." And then she was running away, laughing as Korra gave a cry of outrage.

"Asami!"

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 at almost everything, and teasing Korra is one of those things.

As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
