Just Right by GOT7 and Cover Girl by Big Time Rush
Asami was sitting in her English reading the Glass Castle as she waits for class to start. She always comes early for her classes to read ahead also to avoid the bullies who usually pick on her in the hallways.
"Hey nerd heads up!" Tahno said throwing a football. Asami knew Tahno was talking to her because she was the only nerd in their class. To be honest there were a plenty of smart people in her class but she was the only one who dresses up like one and talks like one. Asami's everyday wardrobe consist of a sweater vest that comes in different patterns and colors, a skirt, knee high socks, black dress shoes and a huge black rim glasses that covers most of her face. Also she was never the best at interacting with other kids mainly because their interest were just too different. So most of the talking she does is when someone asks her a question about school stuff or to pick up their pencil they dropped on the floor.
Asami had a reason as to why she always dressed up like that. One she didn't know that glasses and sweater vest were considered nerdy. She was never a fan of contacts because her fingers would always get dirty. Two Asami didn't have a female figure in her life to show her how to dress. Asami's mom had passed away when she was three years old and she didn't have any older sister to learn from. Then there's her father who forbids her to wear anything too revealing in fear of her daughter getting raped. But she also loves wearing sweater vests, it was so comfortable and it keeps her body warm.
Asami looked up from her book just in time to see the ball coming her way. She quickly closes her eyes waiting to feel the impact but nothing came. Asami slowly opened her eyes to see a grinning Korra looking at her holding the football in her right hand.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, thanks again my savior" Asami said smiling appreciatively at Korra. Korra, her best friend, had always been there to protect her and have her back whenever someone was bullying her. Soon Korra insisted Asami to call her savior and of course Asami played along with it because she had a huge crush on her.
"No problem Sami" Korra pushed Asami's glasses up her nose. Asami blushed and hid her face in her book. It was like a natural thing, Korra would push Asami's glasses and Asami would instantly blush.
"Hey Tahno! Here's your ball back" Korra threw the football as hard as she can that Tahno didn't have enough time to react causing the ball to hit his stomach. Tahno fell on the floor clutching his stomach while Asami giggled behind her book. Korra smiled when she saw Asami laugh, it was a sight to see.
"So you still going to the spring formal Sami?"
"I don't know. Dancing isn't really my thing" Asami shrugged.
"But my band and I are playing. You have to go" Korra said taking Asami's cheeks in her hands and pushing them together.
"Fine" Asami said.
"Yes!" Korra shouted in victory and stared at Asami. Asami stared back until Korra broke the trance.
"What are you reading Sami?" Korra said placing her elbow on Asami's desk and resting her chin on her knuckles while she smiles. Asami tried not to stare at Korra's bulging bicep but it was right at her face and Korra was wearing a sleeveless shirt! She could just lean in and kiss it. Asami swore that Korra was flexing but was she flexing for her? I think she is! Then Asami heard a bunch of girls giggling behind her and making googly eyes at Korra and the thought suddenly went out of her mind. But the thing that bothered her the most was Korra smiling right back at them wiggling her eyebrows.
"The book we're supposed to read for class" Asami tried not to sound irritated but the grip on her book and the way her jaw clenches told Korra that she was mad. Korra tried to ease the tension by moving away.
"Oh, yeah that. I'm going to take a seat…over there" Korra pointed to the seat next to Asami. Korra sat on her desk and picked up a book pretending to read it while keeping her eyes at Asami. Korra was trying to figure out what caused Asami to suddenly change her mood.
"Hey Korra! What are you doing?" Bolin asked raising a brow at Korra.
"Shhh! I'm reading" Korra whispered keeping her gaze locked on Asami.
"Then why is the book upside down?"
Korra turned her attention to her book and like Bolin said it was upside down. Korra laughed nervously and the girls found it adorable causing Asami to tighten her hold on her book.
Korra turned her gaze back to Asami to find that she was not alone anymore. Korra watched Asami as she and Baatar Jr. interact with each other. Asami was smiling while making big gestures with her hand while Baatar Jr. smiled back and laughed. The two seem to get each other and Asami would always go to him whenever she needed someone to talk to about smart stuff.
Korra sighed why would Asami go for someone like me. Asami probably wants someone who's smart, who won't ask her questions every time she speaks because she can't understand a single word she's saying, and who's a man. Korra was openly bi but she doesn't know if Asami was into girls like that.
The class starts and the two girls silently pays attention to class while also stealing glances at each other.
It was lunch time and Asami was standing in line next to Bolin to go get food.
"Hey Bolin?"
"Yes!?" Bolin whips around and smiles at Asami. "Oh hi Asami what's up?"
"Can I ask you a question?" Asami nervously fiddles with the fork on her tray.
"Sure! Unless it's about math because I suck at that."
"No it's not" there was a pause before Asami continued to speak again "do you know what kind of girl Korra likes?"
"Uh… I think she likes them with fries and medium rare" Bolin smiles from ear to ear while Asami rolls her eyes at his joke.
"Bolin I'm serious here."
Bolin gasp as realization struck him "you like Korra!"
Asami looks down at her tray and quickly nods.
"Oh my that's so cool…" before Bolin could finish his sentence Ginger cuts him off.
"Well forget it because Korra doesn't like girls like you. You're ugly and you only talk about boring stuff. Korra won't even spare you a second glance. Korra's only friends with you because she pities you. Korra likes girls who are fun and with assets like mine" Ginger said as she cuts the line and takes the last pizza.
Asami's eyes were getting watery and her hands were shaking making her tray full of food shake too. Ginger is right I'm just wasting my time, I'm a nerd and Korra will never like me.
"Hey, don't let her get to you" Bolin hands Asami his second pizza. "Here I have the combo to Korra's gym locker. She always hides something in there, I think its a journal. Maybe you can find something that will help you. Just so you know Korra once said to me that you are the most beautiful girl in school and maybe in the world even."
Asami quirks a brow at Bolin not believing him for a second "Hey those are Korra's words not mine."
"Thanks Bo. I'll see you later."
Asami heads to the gym and searches for Korra's locker. Once she finally finds it she uses the combo Bolin gave her to open it. Asami finds a few clothes, a text book, Korra's book full of the songs she's written and a magazine. Asami opens the magazine and it was full of sexy girls in their swimsuit. Asami flips through more pages until she couldn't take it anymore. Ginger was right, these were the type of girls Korra would go for not her.
She then she sees Korra hanging out with a bunch of cheerleaders. They were all laughing and having a great time and one of the cheerleaders were leaning on Korra's shoulder. Asami felt her stomach drop and her eyes burn in sadness.
Asami looks at herself in the mirror and places the magazine next to her face. She doesn't look like them and she never will. Asami eyebrows furrows as she throws the magazine on the ground and stomps on it. Then she picks it up and tears it apart. Then she sits down on the floor and admits defeat, she and Korra will never be together.
"Hey Asami why the long face?" Mako asked as he walked in the locker room to get change.
"How do I become beautiful?" Asami asked dejectedly. Mako saw the hurt look in Asami's face, probably from all the bullying. He then decided to cheer her up.
"You know what you need?" Mako says grinning at Asami who just looks at him quizzically. "A makeover"
"I'm pretty sure you don't know a single thing about Makeup, Mako" Asami shakes her head, she was hopeless and she knows it.
"I don't but the girl I'm seeing does and she thought me a thing or two" Mako takes Asami's hand leads her to his car.
Korra saw Mako and Asami leave the gym together and felt her heartbreak but she also felt happy for Asami. At least with Mako, Asami will always be protected and Mako was a nice guy after all. Korra took one last glance at Asami before turning her attention back to the cheerleaders.
"Ready Asami?" Mako asked.
Asami nods hopping Mako knows what he's doing. More than an hour later Asami looks at herself in the mirror and wow she looks amazing. Her hair was nicely down and cascading down her shoulders and her face was flawless because of the makeup.
"One last thing" Mako said handing Asami a red dress.
"Wow, Mako this dress is gorgeous" Asami looks at the red dress with a plunging neck line and next to it were a pair of black stilettoes.
"Now put this on and go get your girl!" Mako said smiling at Asami.
"Thank you" Asami said before changing, it was time for her to get the girl.
Asami walked into the gym and suddenly all heads turned to face her, shocked at how beautiful Asami looked. Asami searched for Korra, Korra had said that she was going to wear a dress shirt with a blue vest on top and black dress pants. Asami gulped when she spotted the person she wanted to talk to. Asami quickly made her way to Korra, stumbling in the process. There were too many bodies on the dance floor.
Once Asami reached Korra, she took a deep breath before blurting out her feelings. "I love you" Asami said.
"Sorry but I don't feel the same way" Asami's heart breaks, she knew Korra would never reciprocate her feelings. Tears began to form in Asami's eyes. "I don't like you like that Asami." Asami shook her head, that voice was not Korra's.
"Wait Kuvira?" Asami's hand reached out to touch the person in front of her. Asami's hands were all over Kuvira's face. Kuvira just rolled her eyes and let the nerd touch her face because Kuvira and Korra were friends which makes Asami kinda her friend too. Asami stopped touching when she felt the mole on Kuvira's face. Asami's face suddenly turned red in embarrassment.
"Yeah" Kuvira said raising a brow at the nerd before her.
"Oh sorry! Wrong person" Asami quickly walks away bumping to a few people. She knew that not wearing her glasses was a bad idea because she was legally blind. Then Kuvira and Korra happened to be wearing the same outfit, how convenient Asami thought. Korra aimlessly tried to find Korra in the gym until she heard her name.
"Asami!"
It was Korra's voice, Asami quickly turns to the sound and sees the blue vest. Asami made a run for it and hugs Korra.
"I love you" Asami said as she hugs Korra tighter.
"Uh I told you Asami I'm not into you that way" Kuvira said not returning the hug.
"You love Kuvira" Korra's voice sounded broken. Seriously! Kuvira's not even that smarter than me!
"No I love you" Asami said as she pushes Kuvira to the side and turns to face Korra. Kuvira was about to punch Asami but Korra shook her head no. Kuvira left with a huffed while Korra waited for Asami to speak.
"You love the column? I mean I guess it's pretty nice with all its decorations?" Korra said trying not to laugh.
"Ugh this is hopeless!" Asami started to tear up. All she wanted to do was look beautiful and tell Korra her feelings but it was so difficult to do.
"Asami are you ok? I'm sorry I was just joking!" Korra waves her hands in front of Asami and realizes she's completely blind. Korra starts to laugh again as Asami searches for a chair.
"It's not funny Korra!" Asami said as her hands land on a piece of cake.
"Here take a seat" Korra grabs Asami a chair and hands her a towel to clean her fingers. "Now where are your glasses?"
"I left them at home" Asami said looking at her lap.
"What? Why would you do that? You know you're legally blind!" Korra said getting frustrated at Asami. "How did you even get here?"
"I walked" Asami said still looking down.
"I'm going to kill Mako for abandoning you!" She could have gotten hurt, she could have run in to traffic and get hit by a bus or guys could take advantage of her. The thought of bad things happening to her Asami made her blood boil.
"Mako doesn't know I'm legally blind and he had to look good for his date so I just left him."
"Seriously Asami what is wrong you with?!" Korra shouted angrily.
"I...I'm sorry this was a mistake" Asami said as her lips starts to quiver and her eyes began to water again. Of course Korra wouldn't like her even if she was beautiful she wasn't one of those girls in the magazine.
Korra saw the sadness on Asami's face that she started to feel guilty for yelling at her. Korra then kneels on the floor and takes Asami's hand on her own. "Look Asami I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just I don't want to see you get hurt, I'm sorry."
"I have to go" Asami took her hand off Korra's and stood up. Asami tried to run away but she trips over another chair.
"Asami!" Korra reaches for Asami but was too late and Asami falls on the floor landing on her hands and knees. Korra sits next to Asami on the floor and hugs her now crying friend.
"Korra let me go!" Asami whimpered as she tried to push Korra away but Korra just held her tighter.
"Why are you doing this?" Korra pleaded for an answer. This wasn't the Asami she knew.
Asami paused her movements and looked at Korra. Asami sighed she's been hiding her feelings for far too long and it's time to get it out of her chest even if Korra doesn't feel the same. "I like you" Asami whispered.
"What?" Korra was dumbfounded, was she hearing things? "You like me? Like as more than a friend? Like, like you want to date and kiss me and hold me and maybe do the thing with me in the future?! You like me as in I want to be your girlfriend, like me?!"
Asami nodded and kept her gaze on Korra. Asami tried squinting her eyes to see Korra's reaction but she couldn't see. Asami hoped that Korra face was full of happiness and acceptance but it was hard to tell.
"Shit you like me!" Korra shouted in excitement. "That's why you did this?"
Asami nodded again.
"I still don't get it" Korra scratched her head in confusion. Why would Asami risk herself by not wearing her glasses just to tell her she loves her wait let's not get ahead of ourselves Korra, Asami said she likes you not 'loves' you.
"Because you like girls who are sexy and beautiful. Not girls who wear the same thing over and over again with big glasses, a girl who is not a nerd. I was trying to compete with those girls in the magazine you hide in your locker."
Korra laughs at Asami's explanation and Asami crosses her arms and pouts in anger. "Of course you can't compete with those girls" Korra said caressing Asami's cheeks.
Asami's heart drops at the statement, Korra was mocking her. Asami tried so hard not to cry but a tear had escaped her eye. She knew it Korra would never want her because she's ugly and she's not like those girls in the magazine. Asami tried to move away from Korra again but Korra's grip on her was strong.
"Let me finish!" Korra said smiling. Asami stopped moving but she was still angry at Korra. "Because you're on a much higher league than them. You're much more beautiful, you're smarter, and you have that cute little smile" Korra poked Asami's side and Asami couldn't help but smile but pouts again "and you have these cute little freckles on your nose" Korra poked Asami's nose while Asami bit her lip to stop herself from smiling "and most of all your strong, caring and you've always been there for me and…" Korra paused for a second thinking if she should really confess her true feelings. Korra took a deep breath "and I love you Asami" Korra leaned in and captured Asami's lips with her own.
To say Asami was shock was an under statement, she was completely taken back. She didn't expect Korra to love her. All too soon Korra broke the kiss.
"I guess you only like me?" Korra said dejectedly. That's when Asami realize she didn't kiss Korra back.
"No I love you!" Asami quickly leaned in but in doing so they head butted each other. Korra laughed while Asami sighed in frustration, nothing seems to be going right for her. To ease Asami's frustration, Korra cups Asami's face and kisses her again. This time Asami doesn't hesitate to kiss Korra back. Finally, she feels amazing they both thought.
Then Korra breaks the kiss to hand Asami an engineering magazine that has Asami as the cover girl with grease on her face and smiling happily because she had just one the robotics competition.
"The magazine you found was not mine. I think those were Kuvira's or Mako's, I'm not sure. I'm just holding it for them, but this is mine" Korra held the magazine in front of Asami. "It's one of my favorite magazines ever and there's only ten of it so I hide it in my secret compartment in my locker, so no one will steal it. This is my cover girl." Korra smiles at the magazine then to Asami.
Asami was touched, she didn't know Korra had kept that or where did she even get that because that magazine was produced in Japan, where the competition happened. Korra wiped the tears that were coming down Asami's face, Asami didn't even know she was crying.
"I love you" Asami said hugging Korra.
"I love you too Sami and also I guess you never saw this" Korra pulled back from the hug and took an engineering book out of her bag.
"You're studying engineering for me?" Asami's eyes widened. Korra had always hated reading so why in the world would she carry that, especially to a dance.
"Yeah" Korra rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly "I wanted to compete with Baatar Jr. It's just that you're always talking with Baatar Jr. about cars and machines that I kinda got jealous. So here I' am trying to gain as much knowledge so you'd talk to me more or something."
"Oh Korra. I thought I always bored you with those kind of stuff."
"No I'm never going to get bored with you." Korra said caressing Asami's cheek with her thumb and Asami leaned into the touch.
"Wow, we we're both trying to change for each other" Asami said laughing at the irony. "And now we probably both look like idiots sitting on the floor."
"I don't care what anyone says. I love you and you love me and that's all that matters" Korra said as she continued to caress Asami's cheek. "And don't you ever change for me Sami because you are just right."
Asami leaned in to Kiss Korra again, she was never getting to get tired of kissing her savior.
"Oh before I forgot! I wanted you to come to the dance because I wanted you to hear the new song I wrote. Stay here ok?" Korra helped Asami up and placed her on the chair before heading to the stage.
Korra signaled Bolin and Mako to get ready to play and then she began to sing. Asami looked at the stage's direction even though she couldn't see anything.
Mirror, mirror, can you please go and tell her
Scale, you better go and tell her too.
Tell her that she doesn't need to change anything
Tell her that she's pretty and gorgeous in every way.
Happy, just be happy girl, dont' worry
Don't look, You don't have any flaws, Don't be sorry
Instead of the mirror, just keep lookin in my eyes
Instead of the scale, just keep lookin to the skies
No matter how much i see you,
You're still beautiful in my eyes.
I can't find a part that's not pretty.
Where are the flaws? I don't see none.
Just listen to me girl
You are just right, right, right, right, right.
Girl, you look just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.
Don't listen to anybody else's words,
You're beautiful both outside and inside
You don't need to worry anymore.
Since I'm by your side, side, side, side, side
So don't you listen to anybody else's words,
Cuz girl you're just right, right, right, right.
If there was a flaw, baby I would see
But you're way too flawless, believe me
Do you know how much I want you?
Forever beautiful, you're the only one
You are just right, right, right, right, right.
Girl, you look just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.
Don't listen to anybody else's words,
You're beautiful both outside and inside
You don't need to worry anymore.
Since I'm by your side, side, side, side, side
So don't you listen to anybody else's words,
Cuz girl you're just right, right, right, right
Beautiful, Oh, Oh, Just stay as you are right now.
The crowd of teenagers cheered while Asami was tear full by the end of the song, Korra loved her for who she is.
"Oh Korra you're such a dork!" Asami said punching Korra playfully on the arm.
Korra just smiles as she leans in to Asami. Asami was getting ready for another kiss but instead Korra slips a pair of glasses on Asami. Asami blinks in surprise as she finally gets to see Korra clearly.
"I always keep one in my bag just in case you forget, lose or break yours" Korra said shrugging.
"Thanks again for saving the day" Asami smiles and hugs Korra. Korra away from the hug to get a good look at Asami before pushing her glasses up her nose. Asami blushes and giggles like she's always do.
"There's my cover girl. I love you, Asami. For who you are and don't you forget that."
"I love you too. You know one day I'm going to be in a magazine! "
"Not playboy though" Korra said with a serious face.
"Don't worry I'll make it so it's only exclusive to you" Asami said kissing Korra on the lips. Korra smiled at the thought of having a magazine with just Asami in it.
5 Years later
Korra wakes up feeling all happy, so much have changed in her life but there was always one thing that was constant, Asami. Well except that she got gorgeous after a year they got together. Asami got laser eye surgery, so Asami didn't have to wear the glasses anymore but she wore it sometimes as a reminder of her mom and Korra thought she was more beautiful with it on. Also Asami's body become to form to the shape of an hour glass, Asami transformed to a beautiful swan.
Korra rolled over to the other side of the bed to find it empty but there was a magazine with a red bow on it. Korra picks it up and see's that it's a magazine full of Asami in different poses and wearing revealing outfits. Korra blushes when she gets to the page were Asami was wearing a tiny maid's outfit and then a bad teacher image.
"I see you found my present. Do you like it?" Asami said sauntering to Korra.
"Yeah I do but I don't want it" Korra said as she throws the magazine in the trash. "Because I have the real thing right here" Korra said pulling Asami on her lap and kisses Asami on the lips. Asami smiles into the kiss before walking to the bathroom to shower.
"Are you sure you want to throw out that magazine?"
"Yes!"
"Then I guess you never made it to the centerfold."
Korra raised a brow and got curious. Korra got out of bed to pick up the magazine from the trash and turns to the centerfold to see a full page of Asami, laying naked in their bed. Asami's breast in full view and her legs wide open, showing her treasure, and smiling seductively. Korra's face got hot and felt the need. Korra quickly dashes into the shower and ravages Asami. Korra kept the magazine and made Asami one too featuring herself.
One year later after their marriage Asami and Korra received a new magazine. The two raised a brow at each other and then stared at the magazine. The title of the magazine was The Prince with a plain black cover page. They flipped through the pages to find that it was Wu in various different poses wearing nothing but his underwear and each page his underwear gets smaller and smaller. Once they reach the center page, something hits Korra's nose and once she realized what it was she faints and Asami gasps. They didn't know it was a pop up magazine. Asami looks at the back of the magazine and smirk A girlfriend huh? The magazine was addressed to Mako.
