AN: More from Korra's POV, well mostly from Korra's POV. Also another chapter that isn't based off events from the show. And question time: Who is going to buy Legend of Korra Book 4 on Blu-Ray or DVD tomorrow? I know I will and then (after re-watching the entire show) I'll listen to the commentaries! And yay for the cast taking part in the commentary! I so missed that during the Book 2 and 3 commentaries.


Korra couldn't have felt worse. She had been rejected. No, she hadn't even gotten to the point of being rejected. Instead she had had the worst timing possible and had given her confession of love to Mako just as Asami had arrived. Had she stayed longer she would have definitely been rejected because who in their right mind would say no to little miss perfect Asami Sato? And all Korra had going for her was the fact that she was the Avatar, one that had yet to even learn airbending.

As she stared out upon the ocean Korra heard footsteps approaching her. She knew that she should have gone further away than just outside the arena. "Look Mako I don't-"

"It's not Mako," Asami told her sweetly. "I can leave if you want. I just wanted to check up on you." After a few moments of silence Asami turned to leave.

"Wait!" Korra called, not turning to face her. "You don't have to go." Asami's face lit up, a reaction which Korra couldn't see. She eagerly turned back to Korra and almost ran towards her but Asami managed to catch herself at the last moment and regain her composure. She strolled over to Korra and mimicked her position of looking out onto the water.

Asami glanced at Korra out of the corner of her eye. It was obvious to anyone that she was hurting and Asami wanted nothing more than to just hug her and make her feel better. "I know you probably don't believe me…" she told her while still staring forward. "But I'm really not after Mako." She could feel Korra turn towards her, could feel her eyes on her, weighing the sincerity of her words. "I'm actually into someone else…"

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Someone who doesn't like you back?" Korra questioned uncertainly. Asami's tone gave off as much, as did the frown that appeared on her face after Korra's question. But, "I don't see how anyone could not like you." Asami's blushed slightly and she ducked her head in a weak attempt to hide the redness of her cheeks.

Asami shook her head and tried to shift the focus off of her. "That's nice of you to say, but what about you? Mako's an idiot for not seeing how amazing you are." She turned to Korra fully and took a few steps forward, closing the gap between them. "If I was him, I'd definitely pick you." Korra suddenly felt very warm. Asami seemed closer than she was moments ago. She was far closer than Korra was comfortable with. And her eyes; although they were sweet and kind there was also a glint in them that made Korra think that Asami wanted to eat her. (And as an aside let me just say that Asami didn't want to eat Korra… out. Not necessarily at that moment but you know… she did)

Korra felt nervous or perhaps anxious. To be honest she couldn't quite tell the two feelings apart. But before she could make sense of everything she heard someone call out, "Hey Korra why'd you leave so quickly? I was going to…" Both Korra and Asami turned to find Bolin staring at them uncomfortably. "Oh… am I interrupting something? Sorry," he quickly apologized before an answer could be given. "I'll just." He pointed to his side and slid away, quite literally. Perhaps he had used a bit of earthbending. Who knew?

Anyway, when Korra turned back to Asami she found that she had backed away to a reasonable distance. She was smiling softly and the previous glint in her emerald eyes had disappeared. She chuckled lightly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear before speaking. "I should probably get going, but um… don't forget what I said, okay?"

She waited for an answer to which Korra gave a simple, "Okay." Asami's lips curved upward as her smile widened and... Spirits, her smile was something else. Was there really nothing about this girl that wasn't perfect? Korra wouldn't have been surprised if there wasn't. She knew she couldn't compete, but since she just promised, Korra instead focused on Asami's words and soon she was smiling back. Asami departed with a wave and a promise that they'd see each other soon. Korra on the other hand continued to look out onto the water a bit longer before deciding to search for Bolin.

Her search didn't last long as he had only headed back into the arena. He was alone, a fact which Korra was thankful for; embarrassing herself once a day was more than enough. "Hey," she called out and Bolin jumped in surprised.

"Hey," he said in return once he saw it was her. He smiled the biggest smile he could manage and waved to her before rubbing the back of his neck. "So sorry about earlier; I was a little excited and I wasn't thinking and…" His eyes drifted back and forth and at that moment he noticed something. "Where's Asami?"

"Oh, she had to go," Korra shrugged. "It is getting a little late and I should probably get back to Air Temple Island myself but I was just curious and wanted to know what you were going to say to me earlier?"

"Say? Nothing, just nothing." Bolin laughed a big and shook his head. "Just um… wanted to uh… know what you thought about…" He came to blank, that is until his Fire Ferret climbed onto him and perched himself on his shoulder. "Pabu!" Korra frowned in confusion.

"Pabu?"

"Yeah! Just uh, wanted to know how you felt about him… doing a little routine before our games!?"

"Um… sounds… great." The awkwardness of the day simply would not end.

"Great, me and Pabu will practice and you probably should get back to Air Temple Island; we all need our rest if we want to win that championship pot," he reasoned, that huge smile still painted on his face.

"Right, okay… see you tomorrow then."

"Uh huh, I will see you tomorrow."
