It started out as a once and a while thing, but after a while it became a weekly meeting for all four of them to meet up and swim in Asami's pool. It was reminiscent of one of the first times they all hung out and went swimming. It was just fun and relaxing.

"You know, you'd look great in a two piece." Asami observed on one such afternoon. She was laying on one of the lounge chairs in a two piece bathing suit that sat low on her hips, but the top stretched over most of her torso.

"Uh, no." Korra flushed a little, sitting next to her friend. Mako and Bolin were wrestling in the water and not paying attention to the two women at all. Even though both were now in their twenties they still took the opportunity to goof off when they could.

"Why not?" Asami wasn't about to take no for an answer. "Come on, I have another one that'd look great on you. It's dark blue, I just can't pull of blue like you can."

"No, I'll keep this on." Korra shook her head and nervously tugged at the pair of shorts and her usual blue tank.

"Korra." Asami put on the 'rich girl whine' to get her way. Everyone present knew she didn't need it, but pulled it out to guilt people, currently Korra, into giving her what she wanted. "Mako!" She changed tactics and yelled to the pool where the Avatar's boyfriend was splashing around.

"Yeah?" He called back curiously.

"Wouldn't you like to see Korra in a two piece?" Asami grinned as his face changed to a grin.

"Well ye-ah no." He changed words midway due to the glare his girlfriend shot him. That and the throat cutting motion she'd added in for good measure. "No I would not."

"Liar." Bolin snorted and leapt out of the pool, grabbing a towel and throwing it over his shoulders. "What's the big deal?"

"I'm just, self conscious." Korra winced a little.

"About what?" Asami snorted. "You're fit, you're the Avatar!"

"I know, just…" Korra winced at Asami and directed a glare at her boyfriend who'd joined them now. She curled her legs up to her chest. "I'd rather not."

"It's your choice." Mako seemed to wince, easily taking her side.

"They're not telling us something." Bolin grinned at Asami.

"They are not." She agreed. "You take Mako, I've got Korra." She leapt off the lounge without warning and pinned Korra. Bolin grabbed Mako's arms and pinned them over his head to make sure he couldn't get to his girlfriend's aid.

Asami was deceptively strong and pinned Korra on the floor after they'd fallen off the lounge. She could bend and beat Equalists, but she couldn't stop her friend from yanking up her shirt and gasping at what she saw. "Is this?" Asami stared at Korra, glanced at Mako and the light went off in her mind.

Korra scowled and yanked her shirt back down as Asami fell over onto her back, laughing hysterically. Bolin released his brother and grinned at the flush on his cheeks but wasn't sure exactly what had happened. "Asami?"

"Her hips!" Asami managed and calmed enough to send an evil grin at Mako. "They're bruised, don't squeeze her so tightly." His face turned several shades deeper as Korra buried her face in her legs with embarrassment. Bolin collapsed into laughter with Asami while the couple's faces heated and exchanged a look.

"You did it." Korra muttered darkly.

"I only had to because you were…" Mako cut himself off sharply, his face still red as their friends kept laughing.

"Ugh!" Fed up, Korra stood up and pushed Asami, making the other girl scream as she fell into the pool. She resurfaced and sent a wave at the Avatar who easily bent it away with a smirk on her face. But she didn't foresee Bolin grabbing her leg and pulling her into the pool as he went in. Mako dove in to rescue Korra, but the confusion had a water battle started, an unfair advantage on Korra's end with her waterbending that was easily defeated by Mako sending spurts of fire at her and evaporating it instantly.

No one won, and no one forgot the bruises on Korra's hips.
