Synopsis: (AU) Korra is a pro-bending superstar and Asami just happens to be her number one fan.

Rated: T


"Korra goes in for the hit and blasts Tahno into the drink with a powerful water uppercut! The match goes to the Fire Ferrets!" The announcer's voice bellowed through speakers.

Korra slipped off her helmet and got swooped up in a hug by her teammate, Bolin. Mako threw his fists up in victory.

Up in the stands Asami leap to her feet and cheered with the rest of the crowd. Her eyes locked on Korra as the young woman waved to the crowd. She blushed when Korra turned in the direction of her bench and waved.

Asami knew that Korra had no idea who she was and it was just a general wave, but still Korra was looking in her direction.

Her heart did a flip and her face broke out into a smile when she and her teammates made their way off the platform. Asami and other fans hurried out the main arena to catch a glimpse of the team when they left the locker room.


"Damn, Korra that was a great fucking shot!" Mako said slapping her on the back.

"Tahno just left himself open and I just happened to catch it." She said with a grin. "Nothing special."

Bolin laughed as he changed. "Our little Korra as humble as ever. Really, take a compliment."

Korra blush. She hated it when the guys tried to make her a bigger deal than she was. She just wanted to play the game she loved and she was happy people enjoyed it. She wasn't full of herself like Tahno. She rolled her eyes thinking about him. Ok, I may be a little proud of the fact that I knocked that asshole off the platform.

Mako and Bolin made their ways to the men's shower and she sat down on the bench. She could hear the crowd screaming outside the locker room.

Spirits, I do not want to go out there. Bad enough that I have a fan following because I'm The Avatar, but this new found pro-bending popularity just makes it worse. Seriously, I'm on a poster…

Korra sighed as she stripped off her own clothes and headed to her shower. She smiled softly when the warm spray washed over her. Wait! I can try and crawl out the window. I'll just airbend myself up there. It'll let me out right behind the crowd area. Then I'm free. Korra let out a triumphant noise.


Korra was already dressed when Mako and Bolin came out of their shower. They were both dressed to impress.

"You guys heading out?" She said with an amused smile.

"Yes, ma'am." Mako said with a mock salute.

"Where going to pick up some girls and have a party back at the apartment." Bolin said with a slow smile.

Korra rolled her eyes. "Just no sex in my room this time."

"Sure, you don't want us to score you a girl?" Mako asked fixing his scarf in the mirror.

"Score me a girl? Goodness you two are something else." Korra waved them off. "I'm not really interested right now. Sure I like the occasional hook up but I'm getting bored with it."

Bolin laughed. "You're not a guy."

"Thankfully." She said with a smirk.

"Come on, Korra. Let's go."

"Not this time Mako. I can't stand heading out there." Korra said crossing her arms.

"What are you going to do? Climb out the window?"

Korra smiled. "Actually, yes."

The brothers looked at each other and then to her. "You're crazy. What are you going to do after that?" Mako said putting his hands on his hips. "We're going to have girls back at the apartment."

"I'll figure that out later. All I know is that I sure as hell don't want to be there for that."

Korra, clad in a faded pair of jeans and a Fire Ferrets hoodie, shot herself up to the high windowsill with a powerful blast of air.

The brothers waved a goodbye before walking out into the crowd. Korra shook her head at them and pushed open the window, slipping out into the night.


Asami sulked back to her Satomobile in the stadium parking lot. I wonder why she didn't come out…oh well…She rounded the corner down the alley to get to her parking block. In that next moment she collided with someone, they both fell backwards onto the ground.

"Ow, what the hell!" Asami muttered rubbing the back of her head.

"Shit, I'm sorry." Korra said standing up and offering her hand to help Asami up.

Asami accepted her hand and tried to stand. As soon her weight settled on her right foot she fell forward into Korra. She caught Asami and pulled her head back to look at her.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Asami's green eyes met concerned blue ones. Her eyes widened. "No way. You're Korra."

Oh hell. "Yeah…I am…anyway are you ok?"

Asami pulse increased when she realized that she was not only talking to Korra, she was resting against her body, in her arms. A small blush graced her cheeks; she tried to push away from Korra and stumbled again. She looked down and groaned inwardly. She had broken the heel off of one of her shoes during the initial fall.

"Damn, I broke a heel." Asami mumbled, using Korra's shoulder to balance herself, reached down and slipped off her shoes.

Korra frowned. "Hey, I'm really sorry." She said looking at Asami. Damn, even without the shoes she still towers over me.

Asami stepped back and looked down at Korra with a bizarre look on her features. Korra raised an eyebrow and touched her face.

"Do I have something on my face?" She asked.

Asami put her hands up. "No, no. I just didn't realize you were…well…this…um..."

"Short?"

Asami blushed. "Yeah. I'm sorry."

Korra shrugged it off. "Believe me, I get it a lot. Anyway, let me replace your shoes. I kind of ran into you. I just dropped down from the window, so I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going."

Asami raised an eyebrow at the shorter woman. "You climbed out the window? What for?"

"Um, to avoid the crowd." She said rubbing the back of her neck. "The attention makes me uncomfortable."

Asami's stomach did a flip. I am actually talking to her. Spirits. Play it cool, Asami.

"You don't like the attention?"

"Spirits, no. I just want to play the game. I didn't really want to be a 'superstar' or whatever their calling me." Korra sighed with a slight blush. "Mako and Bolin love it. As a matter of fact they're picking up some girls for a private party at our apartment. I am so missing that."

Asami chuckled. "Why not pick up a guy and hole up in your room?"

"Guys really aren't my thing." Korra said with a laugh.

Asami eyes widened and she swore she screamed internally. She likes women? Jackpot.

"Than why not get a girl and party with them?"

Korra looked up at the taller girl and shook her head. "No, I mean, I used to every so often. Now, I'm just bored of it. I want to be involved with someone who likes me for more than my popularity. Most of those girls could have cared less about me; they just wanted to be seen with me. They always pestered me to go out. My personal life is my own. I'm not plastering it all over the papers."

Asami smiled softly. Ok, she's even more amazing than I thought she was.

Korra jumped slightly. "Oh! I'm sorry. I don't mean to spill my guts to you. You probably want to get home. Did you come to see the guys leave?"

Asami blushed a bit. "Actually, no. I came to see you leave." She said quietly. Korra raised her eyebrows.

"Oh."

"Yeah, but this was purely accidental though."

Korra crossed her arms and looked at the woman in front of her. "You're not screaming or begging for my autograph."

"Oh believe me, I am screaming and jumping around internally."

Korra laughed and blushed a little. This woman was beautiful. "I'm sorry, I never got you name."

"Whoops. It's Asami." She stuck out her hand.

Korra's fingers wrapped around Asami's hand and they shook hands.

"Well it's nice to meet you." Asami said with a grin. "I should probably go. You might want to escape before the rest of the fan club spots you."

Asami smiled and Korra's stomach did a flip. This woman, Asami, just seemed to spark something in her.

"I feel awful about your shoes. Let me replace them." Korra said shifting nervously.

Asami glanced down at the heels in her hands. "No. It's fine. Really."

Korra frowned when she noticed the scrape on the back of Asami's hand. She pointed to it. "Ok, that I feel really bad about."

Asami looked at her hand and waved it off. "Don't worry. It was an accident." She pulled her keys out of her pocket. "You played a great game. It was really nice to meet you."

She began to walk to her Satomobile. Oh my…I actually got to meet her. I don't care if I scraped my hand, this was amazing."

"Hey, Asami!" She turned to see Korra running to catch up with her.

"Yeah?"

"At least let me get you a cup of tea or something. I feel bad."

Asami eyes widened. "You don't have to do that."

Korra shifted a bit. "I want to. I feel bad about all this."

She looked at Korra and nodded, her face breaking out into a dazzling smile.


"I remember that game. You were holding onto the side with Mako hanging off your feet. How did you manage to get him up there?" Asami said leaning her elbows on the table.

"I was able to pull myself up just enough for him to climb up." Korra chuckled. "It was when he used my shoulder to push himself up that I ended falling. If his upper body strength were better he wouldn't have had to use me as a stepladder and we both could have finished the match."

"He pulled through on his own."

"And I'm glad." Korra said taking a sip of her coffee. "He really came through for us."

Asami smiled and sipped her tea. "For a popular athlete you're pretty humble."

"The attention makes me nervous." Korra said softly. "It's bad enough they make posters with my face on them."

Asami looked away and blushed. "I have one of your posters."

"H-hey, I didn't mean it like that." Korra slightly cursed. "I just don't feel like I should be singled out. Mako and Bolin are just as good as I am. I like the team poster, but the one with just me makes me nervous."

Asami smiled to herself. She's so humble…it's amazing. "Korra, I'm going to be honest. I'm a huge fan of yours."

"Well, you haven't gone all pyscho on me, so you can't be too obsessive." Korra said bumping Asami's hand playfully. "If we're being honest, I offered to buy you tea because I wanted to keep talking to you."

"You've gotten me three cups of tea."

"I guess I just like talking to you."

She bit her lip and smiled at Korra. "This has been nice. I'm glad I got see you as more than a figure on a poster. I may or may not have a slight crush on you."

Korra blushed and glanced away. "Asami, I really appreciate you not being a crazy fangirl."

"Oh, I am. I just want to make a good impression." Asami said softly, picking at the rim of her teacup.

"A good impression?"

"I didn't want you to think that I was a crazy fangirl."

"Well, it's working. So, I'm your celebrity crush?"

"I think now you just may be my regular crush. Sure, you're my favorite pro-bender, you're The Avatar, but most importantly you're just a down to earth kind of girl who doesn't let all this fame go to her head." Asami said smiling softly. "You're an amazing person."

Korra blushed and rubbed the back of her neck. She felt her cell phone vibrate and she pulled it out of her pocket. She rolled her eyes.

"Something wrong?"

"Drunk text from Mako." She opened the message. "Oh son of a bitch, they let people into my room."

"Huh?"

She showed Asami the message. It was a picture of two women kissing fiercely on her bed. Asami chuckled.

"At least the girl on the left is cute." She said with a wink.

Korra rolled her eyes playfully. "Looks like I'm not going home anytime soon. Plus, another set of sheets I'll have to throw out." She checked the time on her phone. "Aaaand this place closes in a fifteen minutes. Great."

"We could take a walk around the park or something?" Asami suggested quietly.

Korra grinned at her. "How about ice cream?"


"That was delicious." Asami licked the rest of the ice cream off of her spoon.

Korra blushed; she couldn't help but stare at this. She noticed Asami had a bit of ice cream on the corner of her mouth. She boldly reached out and wiped it away with a finger. Asami looked up at her just to see Korra lick the ice cream off of her fingertip.

Asami wet her suddenly very dry lips. Korra responded by arching a dark brow. Asami set her spoon down.

"You want to get out of here?"


They pushed open the door to Asami's apartment. Lips crushed together and hands wandered.

Korra pulled Asami's shirt open, ripping buttons off in the process. Asami pulled back and pulled Korra's hoodie over her head.

She grabbed Korra's hips and pulled her against her. Korra wrapped her arms around Asami's neck and pulled her close.

Neither one of them was really sure how they made it to Asami's bedroom. Asami pushed her back onto the bed and began to nip at her throat. She put her hands on Asami's shoulders and pushed her away when her eyes fell on the poster with her figure on it. Asami followed her eyes and blushed deeply.

"I'm sorry." She muttered moving off of Korra.

Korra leaned over and kissed her sweetly. She got up and made her way to the poster. She ripped it off of the wall in one smooth movement.

She turned back to Asami who was staring at her in shock. Korra smirked when she pulled down the covers and slipped into bed, urging Asami to do the same.

"You don't need the poster when you've got the real thing in your bed tonight." She whispered into Asami's ear before pulling her in for a kiss.


Asami's eyes slid open slowly. She looked over next to her and found that side vacant. She surveyed the room and noticed that Korra's clothing was gone. She sighed and frowned.

What did you expect, Asami? That she would stay and be your girlfriend? At least I got one hell of a night of passion. She thought to herself slipping her robe on.

She yawned and opened the bedroom door with the mission of tea. She stopped in her tracks and sniffed the air. Eggs? She softly padded her way to the kitchen to see Korra, in her spandex shorts and Fire Ferrets hoodie, making breakfast. She smiled softly when she saw Korra's jeans draped over a chair.

"The water is hot so let me know and I'll make you some tea." Korra called over her shoulder.

Asami grinned as she slid behind her; she wrapped her arms around Korra's waist.

"Avatar, pro-bender, sensible, and she cooks? You really are the perfect woman." She said kissing Korra's neck.

Korra blushed and shifted a bit. "I raided your fridge. I figured you'd be hungry. Hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind." Asami sighed grabbing a tea bag and a mug. "You treat all your late night conquests like this?"

"No, I treat the girls I'm interested in like this." Korra said without missing a bit.

Asami's heart jumped. "You're interested me?"

Korra stopped what she was doing and looked at her. "Last night was amazing, and not just the bedroom activities." Korra said with a wink. "You seem like an amazing person and I want to get to know you better."

Asami brushed a stray hair out of Korra's face. Korra leaned into Asami's hand. "I don't know. Maybe we could get dinner or something sometime? You know, like a date." Korra asked quietly.

"I would love that. I told you, you went from being a celebrity crush to a normal crush. I guess this is weird, asking a fan on a date." Asami mumbled shyly.

"I was hoping you had become more than that. Are you only agreeing because I'm famous?"

"Spirits, no. We really hit it off last night. We click really well. Hell, last night was essentially a date."

"That's why I want another one." Korra smiled.

Asami grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "We could get lunch."

Korra smirked and kissed Asami softly on the lips. "How about we ordered out, my treat."

"Why?"

"Because I was hoping after breakfast we could go back to bed."

Asami grinned and pulled her closer. "If that's the case our next meal may be dinner."

"Sounds good to me."


Alright, well I hope you like it, Blue. Let me know if you didn't and I'll make it up to you.

Toss me a review and tell me what you think and what you'd all like to see.

*Sidenote* I don't think that language constitutes an M rating.
