The Colonel turned onto her side, looking over at the clock to see it was past two in the morning. She sat up, stretching her arms above her head with a groan before noticing the light in the living room was still on. The heiress still hadn't gone up to sleep.

With a sigh the military woman slipped on her sneakers and sweater, heading out the back door of the mansion. Sure enough she found Asami in the garage, rubbing her eyes as she stared at the laptop screen, all kinds of papers scattered around her. The Water Tribe woman shook her head as she stepped towards the heiress.

"Ok, that's it," she said, closing the laptop.

The engineer started in surprise, looking up at the dark skinned woman. "Korra, wha-"

"This is the fifth night in a row you'd stayed up late to finish this project. You need to sleep."

"It's due in a week. I don't have time to-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the military woman picked Asami up and threw her over her shoulder, turning to head back to the mansion. The heiress tugged on her friend's sweater, trying stop her.

"Korra! What the hell!" Asami snapped. "Put me down before I kick your ass!"

"Nope. Your health comes first."

Korra continued her way into the mansion, carefully going up the stairs as the engineer continued to struggle. She paid it no mind, smirking. There was no way she'd let her friend drain herself this way.

"But-"

"No."

The heiress sighed in irritation and defeat, finally letting the younger woman carry her to her room. When they reached her bed, Korra set her down and smiled in triumph. The same cocky smile the ravenette had seen hundreds of times before.

Asami smirked and pulled her closer by her collar. "I hate you."

The Colonel grinned in response. "No you don't."

"No I don't," she agreed before kissing her.

Korra hummed in appreciation leaning in to deepen the kiss as she also climbed onto the bed with one knee. The older woman smirked in response before gently pulling away to look at her companion.

"Not so fast. We're not there yet."

The military woman sighed. "Sure you don't need someone to keep you warm?"

"Good night, Korra," the engineer answered giving her another quick kiss.

The younger woman nodded her head, relenting, turning to leave. She looked back at the heiress, smirking when she noticed her best friend was already fast asleep.

The heiress let out a deep breath through her nose as she continued to analyze the charts in front of her. There were all kinds of folders, business books, and designs on her desk. She had come in earlier than usual, knowing her next business meeting was just two days away. Weaponry demand was on the rise and Future Industries was the leading company in war welfare but the engineer was still uneasy about authorizing full production. The more weapons out there, the more Kuvira was likely to use it as a reason to attack.

There had been rumors about her 'reconquering' the Earth Kingdom. So far only two places remained free from her control: the metal clan known as Zaofu and Republic City. The ravenette could recall Korra seeing the attack as the Metalbender tested the power of the city and she agreed. That attack had been no accident. Despite this, the amount of soldiers coming in had been reduced. The Southern Tribe being the only ones to send soldiers on a biweekly basis and then there were the city's recruits.

Her father, a member of President Raiko's personal counsel, was currently in the Fire Nation trying to persuade the current Fire Lord to provide more man power but so far she was not interested in another war. Which was surprising seeing as her own son and his troops were stationed here. The heiress could recall the Fire Lord being a strict woman that was not easily persuaded. All they could hope for is that they'd reach an agreement of sorts.

The door opened but the raven haired woman didn't even bother to look up, expecting her secretary to bring her yet another cup of coffee. She was surprised, however, when a kiss was planted on her cheek, finally taking her gaze off the papers to meet blue orbs. Asami couldn't help but smile.

"Hey you, what are you doing here?" she asked giving her friend her full attention.

The Colonel smirked in response, moving a few books to sit on the desk. She was wearing her training uniform which consisted of a blue t-shirt, dark blue camouflage pants, and black combat boots.

"Just got out and thought I'd bring you some lunch," the military woman answered gesturing to the large brown paper bag.

"Did you have an early day?"

The Colonel tilted her head to the side, brow furrowed. "It's past six o'clock, 'Sami." Her friend blinked, looking at the clock on the wall. Seemed time flew without her notice. A sigh. "This is why I figured I'd bring you something to eat."

Asami smiled. "Well, I could use a break."

The Water Tribe grinned in response before unpacking their lunch. They talked as they ate, mostly about work but also about what to do the next time they were free. It had been a while since they'd gone out and the heiress promised to make time after her upcoming meeting. Korra nodded her head as she continued to eat.

Once they were finished the Colonel laid down on the couch in the C.E.O's office. It wasn't long after that Asami glanced over to find her friend sound asleep, arm dangling off the couch. She'd noticed the odd sleep patterns of the military woman. When she would arrive at the mansion, the younger woman would be awake or dozing off in the living room. She thought it was sweet that Korra waited up for her but she didn't want her to lose sleep either.

The heiress sighed and continued to write up her report. She still had a lot to do.

The ravenette took a deep breath as she cleaned her hands on a rag, looking up at the metallic suit. After months of work, it was finally ready. She looked over at her girlfriend who sat across the room, sketchbook in hand. The military woman had been vastly entertained as the heiress worked on the second prototype, soon to be a fully fictional suit. Kevin, as usual, was by her side, the camera lens zooming in and out on the sketch as it made various noises.

"All done," Asami finally announced with a proud smirk.

The Bender looked up, raising a brow. "Really?" she stood and tucked the drawing under her arm, studying the finished product. "Can I test drive it?"

Asami scoffed lightly, shaking her head. "No."

"Why not?"

"Because every time you take something on a test drive it doesn't come back the way it left," the heiress answered simply.

"Okay that was one time-"

"Remember the new porche my dad got me when I was sixteen?"

The Colonel frowned, furrowing her brow thoughtfully. It sounded so familiar... "The blue one?"

"Mhmm."

"You know I don't drive!" Korra defended. "So that was technically your fault. Besides I got you a new one."

"Your dad got me a new one."

Details. "I was fifteen! Where was I supposed to get another one of those!"

Asami laughed and shook her head, using the rag to get rid of some grease marks on the titanium suit. The Water Tribe woman watched her intently, admiring her even when she was wearing a pair of jeans and a grease covered t-shirt. The ravenette looked up at the other girl, studying her curiously.

"Here, I wanna show you something," Korra finally said, building up the courage. She was a military hardened woman, courage should have come easy.

"What is it?"

The Colonel took out her sketchbook from under her arm, flipping to a page. It was none other than the raven haired beauty working on the suit, the details on her face showing not only how much talent the younger woman had but also the beauty of the engineer. The lines were smooth and it somehow managed to catch the determined set of the engineer's shoulders.

"Korra..."

"I just...I wanted you to see what I see."

Asami smiled at this, wrapping her arms around the dark skinned woman's neck before giving her a kiss. Korra could be incredibly sweet when she wanted to be. Her grin widened and she gave her another, softer kiss on the cheek before turning away.

"You still can't test the suit."

Korra groaned loudly in response, but grinned nonetheless. It wasn't a complete loss.

After a night out, the pair returned home, a feeling of contentness surrounding them. They had gone out on a picnic, eating various snacks the military woman had made. It always surprised the heiress how good of a cook her friend was seeing as she hardly spent any time home. She suspected it had something to do with her Firebender friend who was also a talented cook.

They opened the door and went inside, Korra turning to kiss the engineer when Asami stopped her, placing a hand against her cheek, her hold on her hand tightening before she made her away up the stairs and towards her room, stopping outside the door.

The two women stared at each other. Then, slowly, Asami opened the door and lead Korra inside by their clasped hands.

Korra stared at Asami intently, knowing this was not to be taken lightly. Part of her wanted to just pin her girlfriend to the bed but she pushed it down. "Are you sure?"

Her answer came in the form of painted lips nearly devouring her own. And just like that all her will power vanished.

Her hands went up to cup the heiress cheeks, kissing her lips before she shrugged off her jacket, doing the same to ravenette. Asami unbuttoned the Colonel's shirt as the pair stumbled blindly toward the bed, kicking off her shoes in the process. The military woman smirked against crimson lips, pulling away slightly out of breath before gently laying her down on the bed, pulling back to kick off her sneakers and discard her undershirt leaving her in her sports bra.

Blue met green as Korra hovered over the older woman. "Are you scared?"

Asami chuckled softly, moving a piece of Korra's hair back behind her ear. "Terrified." A kiss. "Mortified." Kiss. "Petrified." Kiss. "Stupefied by you."

Korra smiled. "Me too."

The heiress smiled at this and leaned up to kiss the dark skinned woman before flipping their positions, trailing kisses from her chest to her taught stomach. Korra could feel her chest tighten, similar to that night months ago when she had been with June. She shook her head, grabbing Asami and pulling her into a heated kiss before switching their positions, nipping at her neck as she worked on the engineers skirt. The tightness in her breast eased almost immediately.

Soon after the remaining clothes were tossed aside and the pair took their time exploring each others bodies, hands roaming dark and creamy skin respectively, satisfied noises coming from the both of them. The heiress' hands gripped the Colonel's back as they kissed, a feeling of utter bliss filling them completely.

It wasn't long before they lay there panting and sweaty, sated and smiling. Her muscles were sore but Asami pushed upward to kiss Korra again. How had it taken this long to get here?

Asami was the first to fall asleep, and Korra watched her for a moment, laying on top of the woman, cobalt eyes studying how beautiful she was. Then, Korra tensed, and the urge to flee hit her hard.

She didn't stay. That wasn't how she worked, she didn't stay and cuddle.

But this wasn't just some easy lay. This was Asami, someone she cared about immensely. Indecision wracked her body.

Finally she carefully got up and out of the bed, gently tucking the blanket around Asami's curvy form before pulling on underwear and her hoodie. For a moment she just stood beside the bed, fighting her instinct to just leave. Instead she pulled up the chair from Asami's desk and sat it beside the bed and took a seat.

She wouldn't leave. Those days were gone.
