Asami:
The next week flew by in a happy blurr, Asami couldn't remember a time when she slept so well. They kept their word and were going with what felt natural, and they both agreed that cuddling as they fell asleep made going to bed way more enjoyable. Everyone in the school had heard about them dating, some had even tried to mess with them; but messing with them meant messing with Mako and Bolin as well.
Friday couldn't have come any faster, and Korra and Asami were psyched about the dance. Asami insisted that they had to get dressed up, which meant a little more shopping; but it turned out for the best. They were in their dorm getting ready in the early evening on Friday.
"How is this?" Korra asked as she turned around once. She wasn't big on dresses so she'd chose a very fetching slack get up. Long tan brown pants that fit her snuggly with a pale blue button up with a tan vest and a red tie; the red was to match Asami's dress, and brown boots that covered up the hem of her pants.
Asami gave a whistle of approval and came over and slipped her arms around Korra's neck. "I think I'll have to beat the other girls off with a stick. Unless you promise every dance to me." Asami with a wink as she leaned forward and placed her lips on Korra's. Korra smiled as her arms went around Asami's waist and pulled her closer for the kiss.
"Babe you were promised every dance long before I put this on." Korra said with a smirk and then blew her bangs out of her eyes. She was trying to grow her hair back out, she'd cut it short at the beginning of the year but she really missed her long hair with its wolf tails. "I'm going to go wait outside the dorm like a good date, you get finished and then we'll head out to dinner." Korra disentangling herself from the warmth of her girlfriend's arms.
Asami sighed and watched Korra leave the room, she missed her already. Asami quickly finished applying her makeup and pulled the knee length red dress on. It was a fairly simple dress made of a deep red colored silk with two finger thick straps and a sweetheart neck line. It cinched at the waist and had plaits in the skirt. She smiled as she pulled on her flats, she didn't want to be much taller than Korra tonight. The final touch was a simple silver chain with a heart pendant on it her father had given her.
She grabbed a black sweater and walked out of the room and quickly moved down stairs and outside where she found Korra and the guys waiting for her. Korra turned to look at her and her face became a deep crimson color as she looked her over once; Asami knew that Korra was imagining her without the dress. She smirked as her own cheeks became red and walked over and kissed Korra's cheek. "You're drooling sweetie." She said softly as she brought her girlfriends mouth to her own.
Korra moaned a little and kissed Asami back, lifting her hand and placing it on the back of Asami's head. When they pulled apart Korra gave Asami a smile that melted her heart with its love. "You look like a flame, one that's totally got me on fire for her." Korra said and Asami's blush deepened with the corny compliment.
"Guess later you'll have to cool me off with a little of your cool as water look." Asami said back giving Korra a teasing smile. Korra chuckled and gave Asami one more soft kiss before turning to the others.
"Let's get some grub so we can dance the night away!" The boys cheered, Opla and Ty lee, Mako's date, laughed as they took the boys arms and started walking away. Asami grabbed Korra's shoulder and turned her slightly as they walked so she could fix her tie. Korra smiling at her the entire time. When they got the restaurant they all piled into a half circle booth and quickly ordered. They laughed and talked about what they were planning on doing after they graduated in a couple weeks.
"We're taking the summer off. Asami's coming up north with me to Alaska, then next year I'll be starting college. Double major as a personal trainer and dancer." Korra said with a smirk, then everyone looked at Asami.
She smiled sweetly and kissed Korra's cheek. "The summer of a lifetime with my wonderful girlfriend, then back to school as a double major as well. I'm focusing more on Engineering but I plan on dancing as much as I can." Asami said and everyone laughed. They were getting ready to leave when Korra paused and grabbed Asami's arm.
"You're hairs come a little undone, let me fix it." She said softly and pushed several strands of Asami's hair out of her face. Asami smile and reached forward and wiped a few crumbs from Korra's chin before giving her a soft kiss.
"Thanks sweety." Opal and Tylee awed at the girls sweet moments and then turned to their dates with pouting faces.
"Why can't you be more like Korra? She's like the perfect partner." Opal said playfully tweaking Bolin's nose.
Korra and Asami looked at one another then back at the girls before answering at the same time. "Because then he'd have to be a girl." Then they looked at one another and smiled as they blushed. The guys laughed and they all walked out of the restaurant talking about the music they hoped would be played tonight at the dance.
Korra and Asami came up at the rear of the group, lightly swinging their joined hands back and forth; completely lost in their own world. "So are you sure your parents don't mind that I'm coming for the entire summer?" Asami asked nervously. She was a little more than nervous over meeting Korra's parents.
"Are you kidding me? They are over the moon to finally meet you! My mom has asked me a dozen times whether she can have a girl's day and what kind of tea you like. She's so excited I'm bringing someone home." Korra said with a smile Asami sighed in relief and Korra bumped her shoulder lightly. "Don't worry they are going to love you." Korra said sweetly.
Asami wanted to say something, something like 'like you do?' but she stopped herself at the last second. A week might not be enough time, but that was okay she could wait till a little longer.
Korra:
When the group go to the dance it was in fool swing. Students were moving all around, trying to show off their best dance moves. Some of them had obviously been drinking, which set Korra's blood burning; she didn't like people when they were drunk, they tended to be less nice. "Can I have this dance? And every other your inclined to dance?" Korra asked playfully as she bowed and offered Asami her hand.
Asami smiled and blushed and took Korra's hand and pulled her out onto the dance floor. "You didn't have to ask, they were already yours." She said as an up beat song began to play. The girls dance in front of one another, their hips sway and moving in time with not only the song but with one another. Eventually Korra ended up behind Asami, her hands on Asami's hips as Asami and she grinded against one another; laughing at how stupid that kind of dancing looked. As the song ended it was replaced by a sweet love song. Korra pulled Asami to her, Asami's arms going around her neck.
"I think I like the slow dancing best." Asami whispered as she laid her head on Korra's shoulder, bringing her body as close as she could manage. Asami's fingers were tangled in Korra's hair, and her breath was puffing against her neck. She wished they could stay like this forever, just her and the girl she loved dancing the night away.
"Me too." Korra whispered back giving Asami a soft kiss on the side of the head. When the song ended another up beat song began, the girls pulled apart; although they grabbed one another's hands as they danced.
"HEY! You guys having a good time?" Opal asked as Bolin danced her across the floor. Korra and Asami smiled and nodded as Korra twirled Asami. The danced to almost every song that played, once or twice they missed a good song because one of them would have to use the bathroom.
The night was coming to a close when the kind of song Asami and Korra had been waiting for. "I Need A Hero" by Jeniffer Sanders began to play, and Asami's face broke into the most excited smile Korra had ever seen. "Let's show what we can do babe." Korra said with a wink leading Asami into the middle of the dacne floor.
The song started slow, Asami's leg was on Korra's hip; Korra slid her hand down the taller girls thigh as the soft music played till she reached her ankle. Asami was holding onto Korra's shoulder with one hand and the back of her head with the other, watching the tanner girls hand move down her pale skin. When the song suddenly picked up Korra threw Asami's leg off her hip and the dance began.
They circled one another, lightly stepping on pointed toes as they watched each other with hungry smiles. Korra moved forward and grabbed one of Asami's hands and placed her other hand on her hip as they began to tango. The room had been busy a moment before as the students danced, but once they saw Asami and Korra on center floor they stopped and watched; mesmerized by the sheer feeling the girls gave off with their bodies.
Korra was focused on the beautiful girl in her arms, her entire being matching her move for move. They hadn't planned this, they hadn't practiced this; but they were so in tune with one another they didn't need to. Korra could feel each shift of muscle, each change in Asami's footing. She could feel in her bones which way Asami needed to be lead so that they could both float across the floor. It was like nothing she'd ever felt before, they were connected through the music, through the steps they were taking.
The ending of the song came and Korra could feel Asami shifting her weight for Korra to lift her. Korra lifted her higher than ever before, her hands on her sides lifting her girlfriend over her head. Asami balanced herself with perfect ease, which Korra was thankful for since they'd never tried anything like this before. Once the song ended the room erupted into applause.
Asami shifted her weight and Korra let her slide down through her arms; all the while holding her. They were panting and smiling at one another like mad men. "That was….*pant pant* ….you were…..*pant pant*…." Asami tried to say as she gave Korra another one of her heart melting smiles. Korra beamed and then picked Asami up around the middle and spun her around with a laugh.
Asami wrapped her arms around the shorter girl's neck and laughed with her, burying her face in Korra's neck. Korra spun her several times before setting her down. "Incredible! I've never danced like that before! We were, you and I were so in synch! I think our hearts were even beating at the same time. I mean you felt it too right? It was like we were one being." Korra said her face burning with a blush as she watched her girlfriend watch her.
Asami smiled slyly at her before walking forward and pulling her in for a deep kiss. "I want to go back to the dorms." Asami said softly in Korra's ear as another song picked up. Her voice was low and Korra could tell that she was turned on. Korra nodded as she kissed Asami one more time before they walked arm in arm out of the gym, people congratulating them on their dance.
