5 Month Later
"Can you stop moving, so I can finish your tie?"
"I can't breathe because of you!"
I finally finish the loop and let the overly anxious girl go.
"I look great, besides the choke hold." I hug my girlfriend from behind.
"I think you look very charming. I'm sure June is happy to have you as her best woman."
Korra turns to me and gives me a kiss.
"It feels so weird, it's like kissing myself." She tease.
I roll my eyes due to her joke.
"You think I want your past lives inside me?" I tease back.
"Yes, because deep down you know, it's cute when I say 'you're my other half.'"
I pull away from her, trying not to blush.
"Shut up, you're making me more nervous. I'm meeting your parents for the first time tonight at the reception. "
"They met you before!"
"Yes, when I was a child. What if they hate me for taking you from them?"
I'm grateful for everything Korra has done for me, but at time I feel guilty for being the reason she has to travel so much.
She finally gained her first element water, after months of training in the Northern WaterTribe. If it took her four months to regain her strongest element, who knows how long her others will to mention the fact her collection of knowledge, technique, and past lives are a part of me. That's probably why it takes her so long to regain her elements.
"Are you okay?"
I look up at my girlfriend with a smile on my face.
"Of course, I love weddings." She takes my hand.
"Good, because I thought you hated my outfit." I punch her shoulder.
"You just want me to tell you how great you look again."
"Duhhh, I need compliments."
Korra
The sound of Asami's phone ringing causes us to pull apart.
"I'm sorry. It's probably President Raiko ."
"No worries, he calls you almost every day. Can he not run the city without your help for a day?" I tease.
"I'm his intern, it's my job."
"Well, I think you should have been President of Republic City."
she looks at me like I lost my mind.
"I have to finish school Korra! Also I could never take on such a big task."
I stop from admiring myself in the mirror, to address such negative talk.
"Don't say that. You can handle any task no matter the size."
She blows me a kiss and picks up her phone.
As she speaks, I bring my attention back on to the mirror. This day is bitter sweet. Tenzin just informed me today, that I have to stay at the Northern Air Temple with him, so I can work on my air bending.
It took me four months just to get waterbending back. Air always been the hardest element to learn for me. Training for Air might take a year and let's not talk about the other two, I have to learn on top of that.
I just got back to Asami three weeks ago. The thought of telling her I'm leaving again,is though my motivation to see her helps my progress, I don't want to put her through any more pain.
When she told me about Hiroshi's involvement with Amon. I was hurt at first, it took a while for me to forgive him. But I understood why he did what he did. I understood why Kuvira did what she did as well.
They were driven by pain. I don't want Asami to go through that, Even though I know she would never do such horrible things like they did.
Back in the Crystal Catacombs, when she got hurt. The only way I could save her was giving her my last amount of chi. Which happened to be my Avatar State. I woke up in the hospital and Jinora told me, my body was so in shock, that no one could touch me but her.
It took a while for my body to get used to the empty feeling. I can only contact my past lives with Asami present. I never told her how difficult it is to train without her there. Support wise and spiritual wise.
I don't think I ever will, because I don't want her feeling obligated to drop her schooling to travel with me.
Yes, I would enjoy her company greatly, but I want her to continue making a difference in Republic City like she has been doing. The progress this city has been through is remarkable.
Without her input and actions, I don't think we all would have healed as quickly. Don't get me wrong, everything isn't completely back to normal and I don't think they ever will , but it's the little steps we take.
Asami and I haven't heard much from the Beifong family. When news broke out about Suyin, many citizens of Republic City wanted her arrested, counting Asami.
Of course, no one could charge her with anything. Honestly, I'm glad she didn't get anytime. She didn't need to sit in jail. She already lost her life and her whole world. Her family no longer wants anything to do with her. Which to me, is punishment enough.
Opal and her brothers are somewhere in the Fire Nation with their Aunt, as they try to heal. I know Bolin misses them just as much as everyone else.
It took a lot of courage for us to stay in Republic City. Especially Mako, a lot of people can recognize ex Equalist members and some had to go into hiding. Asami and President Raiko are working on ways to ease the tension between Benders and Non-Bender as they all transitioning into living in this society together.
"Ugh, Raiko wants me to sit in on one of the bills being pass. I told him I have to study for exams and I don't think I could do it. I guess, I can pull an all nighter. "
"Tell him no!"
"He sounded really needy though." She whines.
"Okay? Don't you review all bills for him?" I ask.
"Well yes, but he wants me there to make sure he hits all the key points." She replies.
"Asami, it's not your job to do his job. The more you baby him, the needier he will get."
She smirks.
"You sound more like me and I don't find that funny." She tease.
"What don't you shut me up then?"
Asami
I take my seat and admire the flower arrangements. It's a beautiful day for an outside wedding. Also I didn't think June and Eska would have as many guests in attendance, like they do.
You can certainly tell who's on Eska's side of the family, with their WaterTribe apparel . I haven't seen Korra's parents yet and I'm relived because I'm not sure if they will like me or not.
June is standing up front in her black lace dress, with her twin brother Desna and Korra by her side. She looks super nervous, which tells me she didn't drink for this occasion.
I know Eska and June will have a happy marriage, they complete one another. I really enjoy wedding and I know if Opal were here, she would be just as hype. I really miss her, she writes to me from time to time. I don't blame her for the lack of replies. She didn't just lose her Father but her Mother as well.
Bolin is going up to the Fire Nation to visit them soon and hopefully he will see how they're really doing. School without her is not the same, everyone looks at me like I'm some sort of hero. When that's not the case. I didn't do anything to prevent, such terrible outcomes.
I don't think I could handle school without the help from Kai, Iroh, and Bolin. Their presences means the world to me, not just in school but at home as well.
When Korra is away, I feel so lonely. I know she has obligations and I want her to heal and get her bending back but I miss her constantly. Sometime I feel ungrateful for wanting her here with me, instead of gave a big part of herself just so I could be here right now.
We do however get to talk to one another in the Spirit World on special occasions. We don't get much time due to her chi levels, but hopeful when she regain more of her elements it can be longer.
"Are you the Avatar's Girlfriend?" I look up and see a tall WaterTribe man.
"Oh yes, nice to meet you Chief Tonraq," I say bowing.
The man laughs. "I'm not my fool of a brother. I'm Unalaq."
I try to hide my embarrassment.
"My apologies Sir." He shakes my hand.
"I heard a lot about you and your efforts of saving my daughters and the Avatar."
"No Sir, June, Eska, and Korra are the ones who saved me."
"Non-sense, everything you're doing for this city is making their lives much better and for Benders everywhere. I know your Father must be proud, is he here?" he asks.
"No, he's couldn't make it. My Father is in the process of selling Future Industries."
The Northern WaterTribe Chief frowns, which is everyone's reactions when I tell them such news. There is just so much history behind our company and my Father and I just want a new start.
Of course, my Father will continue inventing and making new ideas but it won't be for profit anymore. I don't see myself taking over the business either, so selling the company to someone who can add or create a new image is our the best option right now.
Korra
I watch as my future cousin in law squirms.
"Can you stop moving? I'm debating whether or not I want to blood bending you, just to keep you from moving."
"I'm just so nervous." She replies.
"I have some Cactus Juice. If you want to ease your nerves." Desna adds, pulling the smile liquor bottle from his vest pocket.
June is about to reach for it but I hit her hand.
"No, you will not be drunk on your wedding day!"
"You're right Korra. I need to stay focus… What if I mess up? I been studying these cards for months." she replies.
"Here."
I take the cards out of her hand and rip them up.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"
"If you speak from your heart, there is no way you can mess up."
she takes a deep breath
"Alright I will do that."
"I mean you had no other choice." Desna replies, putting on another coat of eye liner.
I see Asami talking to my uncle and he seems to enjoy talking to her. Which is a good sign, because my uncle always been hard to please compared to my Father. Asami totally has it in the bag, when she meet my parents at the reception.
When I got out of the hospital, my parents were waiting for me at Air Temple Island. After weeks of rehab, I was able to walk again and my parents took me back to the Southern Watertribe with them. I learned so much about what I missed growing up. It was difficult at first, getting used to staying with my parents. I knew them, but in a way I didn't. They did an amazing job helping me feel at home, but my home always been with the Satos.
When I got news that Asami was out of the hospital and home. I flew right back to be with her every step of the way. Up until I had to head back home to begin my water bending training.
At times I grew so frustrated, from not making any progress . I started to hate bending, I rather be with Asami, instead of being upset with myself all the time.
But the limited time in the Spirit World and our phone calls helped time I heard her voice, motivated me to continue my journey and I'm grateful for that. Because now I bend water again and I can't wait to bend more.
"The wedding is starting." Desna states, taking a quick sip from his liquor bottle.
Ikki comes down the aisle holding a tiny basket.
As she walks, she sprinkles rose petals on to the ground.
"I wanted her to sprinkle ashes, not petals. My wedding is ruin." June says, between gritted teeth.
I try to ignore the disturbing comment coming from the woman who will be added to our family. This is the first wedding I ever been to. With all the dark colors and skulls placed around, I can't say it's like the ones I see on tv but it still has that love vibe to it.
Ikki gets up front and she stands near Eska's bridesmaids.
An orchestra starts playing and the crowd stands up.
"Here she comes." I whisper to June.
We watch as my uncle walks Eska down the aisle .
My cousin looks beautiful in her all red wedding dress. Which was made possible by me agreeing to wear the traditional WaterTribe gown for my wedding. If I didn't agree, Eska would have to be wearing such thing and I didn't want my cousin to suffer. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to take and I'm so glad I did. She looks amazing.
I hear sniffling and I look to the side of me and find June crying.
"Aww are you crying?" I ask.
"No, my eyes are just water bending." She wipes her eyes quickly and Eska approaches the podium.
Tenzin clears his throat.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of
Eska Water and June Death?"
June and Eska giggle.
"Is your last name really Death?"
"Yes, I legally changed it."
"Spirits, please tell me you're taking Ms. Waters' name?"
"Yes she is." Eska replies, making Tenzin sigh in relief.
"Well Ms. Waters you can start us off with the vows."
My cousin takes out her index card and holds it up, so everyone can see it and begins.
"I didn't write anything because every time I see you, I'm speechless. In a bad way and a good way. I didn't think I could ever fall in love with anyone as unpredictable as you. You're the most brilliant person I ever meant, you put so much detail into your craft *cough* *cough* illegal moonshine."
June along with everyone else laughs.
"That's not the only thing you're good at. You're great at making me smile. By being so caring. The way you drop everything when someone is in need, is just amazing.
You don't understand how much that means to me! To come home knowing that someone you love is waiting for you is everything. No…. it's not just anything it's addicting. I don't know what's your most sold beverage is."
"It's Cactus Juice." I whisper.
"June, you're more addicting than your Cactus Juice and I'm so luck. Because there is only one in stock and I have it!
This index card doesn't just represent my speechless words, it represents my future with you. No matter what we do together, we will always have a clean slate. I'm so honored to call you my wife. "
Asami
I feel tears roll down my eyes. That had to be the most heartwarming vows I ever heard. From the looks on everyone's faces they agree as well.
"I love you so much."June replies, as she tries to approach Eska, but Korra pulls her back.
"Hold on, you can't kiss the bride yet." Tenzin tease.
"You're right, sorry." June replies, wiping her eyes.
The Blood Bender smiles and looks up at her bride and starts.
"I remember when we first became roommates. I hated you."
The crowd laughs again but June looks at us confused.
"I'm serious, I didn't like her."
"It's true, I thought I wouldn't last a day." Eska adds.
"Same." Korra adds, giving me a wink.
"But all that hatred changed when I cut my hand on glass. I was too drunk to heal myself, so I just laid their on the ground. Then suddenly you burst into my room, ignoring my keep out sign and offered to blood-bend me.
Like I said before, I was too out of it to decline. Also you were a WaterBender, I thought I would be in good hands. Spirits was I wrong. You bending on me had to be the worst pain I ever experienced ! Do you remember what you told me, as I was screaming bloody murder?"
Eska nods
"I said, you weren't yelling when you were drinking."
"Yep, and I just knew you were the one. I didn't just fall in love with you due to that night but I fell in love with your bravery.
You had the courage to come into that room, knowing that I hated you, in hopes of helping me. That meant the world to me. You come home talking about how crazy your trip on the subway was but let me tell you. I know, I'm far crazier than that subway but you continue to ride me."
Unalaq stands up unpleased.
"I meant it as in a metaphor! What? Eska can compare me to an alcoholic beverage but I can't compare her to a subway." June calls out.
"He's just kidding" Eska says, giving her Father the 'you better sit down' look.
"Anyway, I love you Babe and we're going to rock this crazy world together!"
"Aww I can't way!"
"Well... those had to be the most original vows ever." Tenzin states, as he tries to collect himself
"Does anyone wish for these two not to marry?"
I look around and Unalaq looks like he's about to get up but his wife holds him down.
"Can the ring bearer now come."
Rohan comes running down the aisle with the rings duct taped to the pillow. Tenzin kneels down and grabs the ring and hands them to the couple.
"I now pronounce you Mrs. And Mrs. Water. You may now kiss the bride."
June pulls Eska into a kiss and we all clap.
I'm tackled into a hug, the moment I get to the chocolate fountain.
"I missed you." Korra says holding me.
"I missed you too!"
"How was the limo ride?" I ask, feeding her a strawberry.
"It was alright, never been in a limo before."
"Are you serious? Now I have to take you in one every time we go somewhere."
"Even the market?" she tease.
"Duhh, we have to shop in style!"
"Whenever I'm with you, It's style. Literally, I can look like a bum but as long as we hold hands. It's like I'm royalty."
"You're just too sweet." I bring her into a kiss and before it deepen the sound of giggles gets our attention.
"Well isn't this a sight to see." Korra and I pull apart quickly.
"Hi Mother, this is Asami. I'm going to get us some punch."
Before I can protest Korra runs off leaving me alone with her Mother.
I extend my hand out.
"Hello Ma'am." The older woman pulls me into a hug.
"Call me Senna. Spirits, you look just like your Mother. I miss her so much, she was a good friend of mine."
"Thank you, I miss her as well."
We pull apart and she cover her mouth.
"You're just so…. beautiful, you were a little girl when I last saw you. Tell me, is my Korra giving you a hard time?"
We both look in her direction as she tries to balance the three cups of liquid.
"No, she's amazing."
"Good, because you can tell me. Korra may be my daughter but she has some qualities like her Father."
I smile.
"Like what?" I ask, growing curious.
"For starters they both watch so much television. I can't tell you how many times, I have to pull my husband away from the TV."
"Yes, Korra definitely likes her sitcoms."
"I'm happy to finally meet you again. Korra talks about you a lot back home."
"She did?" I reply happily.
"Yep, she been asking me to teach her how to cook, just to impress you."
Aww Korra did that just for me. I truly have the best girlfriend ever.
"So tell me, are you going to be traveling with Korra this time?"
"What do you mean?"
"Korra's going away with Tenzin to train in a few weeks. Are you going to stay here again or be with her?"
This news shocks me. I knew she would have to leave but not this soon, she didn't tell me.
"We haven't discussed it yet." I say, trying to force a smile.
"Well, I think you should go. She misses you a lot and I know having you there will mean a lot to her."
"I agree."
"Excuse me, as I go find my husband. Last time I saw him, he was having a dance battle against his little brother."
As soon as Senna leaves, I storm over to Korra.
"Hey, I didn't think you would have scarred my Mother away this early." She tease, taking a sip of her punch which makes her spit the liquid back into her cup.
"Who spiked the punch bowl?" she asks in disgust.
I grab her hand as she sets the drinks back down. As soon as we get outside the venue, I let her go.
"Where's the fire?" she tease.
" Why didn't you tell me you were leaving again?"
Her smile drops.
"I just found out today. I was planning to tell you."
"Why didn't you?"
" I didn't want you to worry about! I just wanted us to enjoy the wedding and not have to worry about me going away.I was going to tell you."
"When?" I ask.
"Umm three days from now." She says lowly.
My exams are three days from now! I don't think I could have handled such upsetting news.
"You're mad at me aren't you?"
"Korra, I'm not mad." I say, lowering my voice.
"Yes you're. I can see it in your arms."
I look down and see my arm glow and I try to rub it away, even though I know it never helps.
" I'm not mad, I'm just a bit frustrated because I just got you back. Which is unfair on my behalf because I know you hate training. If it wasn't for my stupid life, you wouldn't have to go away! It tears me apart every day, knowing it's all my fault. "
Korra
I never knew Asami, felt that way. This is not her fault, she didn't ask for this life, I gave it to her. If anything, I'm the one who should be feeling terrible, not her.
"Your life is not stupid and I wouldn't take back what I did, for the world." I defend.
"Sometimes, I wished you did." She says lowly.
"Okay, let's say If I didn't bring you back to life. How would your Father feel?"
"My Father would understand."
"No. He would feel broken and I would be as well. I wished things didn't have to be this way but it is what it is. We just have to deal with it."
"I don't want to deal with it Korra!"
"THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"
"I want you to take your past lives back!"
I take a seat at the table and laugh.
"You're so ungrateful, you know that? I'm telling you, I'm fine with everything but you keep bringing it up!"
"I'm not ungrateful, I'm just tired of feeling guilty. Even though I shouldn't be. I'm not putting the blame on you at all. I just know the facts, which is, if I didn't have your past lives inside of me, I wouldn't feel guilty."
All her past comments and jokes about having my past lives were real. I'm so upset with myself, how could I not realize this before? I'm supposed to be her girlfriend, I should know when something is wrong. I should be the one to do everything in my power to fix her problems, not be the cause of it!
"I'm so sorry Asami."
"Korra, it's alright. I didn't mean what I said. I just have exams, President Raiko is all in my head, you leavening. It's just stress it's not you.
"I can only bend water, but I can find a way to take my past lives away from you. You just have to enter the Spirit World, maybe if I…"
She frowns.
"Korra, I didn't really mean it like that."
"NO, YOU WANT THIS BURDEN OFF OF YOU! THIS IS YOUR WAY OUT!" she places her hand on top of mine and intertwine it.
"I'm fine Korra, I promise."
I look at her to see if she's being sincere.
"I feel guilty too Asami. But not because of what I did to you. Only because I'm actually happy in what I became.
All my life I been told I had to do this, be that, and so on. That I never got the chance to truly find myself. I'm supposed to be the Avatar and when you're the Avatar. You have all these expectations you live by. I actually like not being the full Avatar.
Before I used to constantly question whether or not I truly liked something. When you have so many identities it gets confusing sometimes. To question if you like ice cream or if Aang likes it, I never knew my true self.
Now I have the opportunity to find myself for myself. You talk about how it's a burden and I understand that. But your burden is from feeling guilty for me having to travel. I'm telling you right now, I couldn't be any happier right now! But your happiness is way more important than mine. If you no longer want this life, I can help you. Your happiness is everything because I love you Asami."
She pulls me into a hug.
" I love you too and just hearing you explain yourself took a lot off of me. You are right, I do feel guilty for you having to travel, but I'm glad you finally have the opportunity to find yourself. If you're happy, I'm happy as well."
I hold her tighter.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave you again."
"I'm coming with you this time." I pull apart from her.
"No, you need to stay and finish school."
"I have more than enough credits. I can technically graduate right now, if I really wanted to. We can travel together and be happy."
"I would love that, but that's not your life. You have so much going for you here. How dare I limit you to traveling? Yes, we could see each other every day, but I will have a lot of moments where I will shut down and I couldn't have you deal with that."
"I can help you get through those moments, Korra. You know I can."
"Yes, I'm aware. Just seeing your smile or hearing your voice fixes everything but I have to do this for myself. I just don't want you to constantly be waiting for you me. You deserve so much more and I want you to be happy and to have stability. Maybe us being toge…"
I'm cut off by her lips on mines.
"We're not breaking up. I don't care how difficult it will be. Like you said it is what it is and we will find a way."
"Are you sure? I'm not sure how long I will be away."
"I'm more than sure. As long as you keep fighting, I will as well."
"Wow, I know we can never get a divorce." I tease.
"Are you implying you see yourself marrying me, Mrs. Avatar?"
" I'll tell you what. When I'm able to bend all four elements, I will marry you."
She laughs.
"I'm serious, do you want to make that deal?" I ask.
"Alright, deal."
I tear apart a piece of my tie off.
"KORRA THAT WAS A RENTAL!"
"Okay? You're rich pay for it."
She glares at me as I wrap the piece of fabric around her wedding finger.
"It's a promise ring. Once I learn all my elements, I will put a real ring on that finger."
"You're so worth losing circulation in my finger for."
"I hope so."
2 Years Later
"Mrs. Sato they're ready for you." My intern states.
I get up from my seat and grab my note cards. A lot has happened in the past two years. I graduated high school and helped President Raiko rebuild Republic City and I'm so happy with our progress.
My Father sold Future Industries to a man named Varrick. Despite his contribution in building a weapon that could harness spirit powers in the past, Varricks is a genius.
"Are you ready?" My intern Opal asks again, with excitement.
I missed her so much, she has gotten a lot better. I enjoy working with my best friend every day.
"If you're ready, I'm ready!" as we walk Mako joins us.
"You look beautiful!" Mako states, pulling me into a hug.
"Hey, you know she's taking!" Iroh tease, as he puts on his headset.
"I'm aware, I'm just doing my job as her bodyguard." Mako replies, sternly.
"And I'm doing my job, as the sound engineer. Letting you know to keep your hands to yourself." Iroh tease.
"It was a hug!" Mako yells.
"Relax, Iroh are you jealous because I didn't give you a hug?"
The sound engineer pouts "Yes."
"Awww."
"Asami, they're ready for you." Opal says, before I can give the ex-star Quarterback a hug.
"Next time." I call out to him, as Mako flicks him off.
The more rooms we pass, the more nervous I get. I know once I step foot on to that stage, I will committing myself to these people and I'm certainly ready for that.
"You got this!" Opal encourages, as I collect myself.
"I hope so!" she push opens the curtain and I hear the announcer speak.
"I introduce to you….. Madam President."
I walk through the curtain and see the thousands of people cheering and clapping as I approach the podium.
I worked so hard to get to this point! Who knew they would have actually elected me, out of all people. I'm not going to let them down, starting with this speech.
"Hello."
I step back from the mic, due to how loud it sounds. I turn around and Iroh mouths a sorry and I can't help but smile at my friend.
"Hello Republic City and any other nations that are watching this live. I'm Asami Sato and I'm glad to accept your position as President.
For the youth out there listening. I want to give you all some advice.
Never let your past prevent you from doing something you want to do. Never limit yourself, no matter what the obstacles you face. My family and friends are living proof of that. It's the experiences and what you gain from them, that build you.
Trust me, I don't think I would have grown into the person I am today without a couple of life lessons. I see life as a puzzle, one that you never truly finish. Even though you might not have the full picture, at least you know some pieces will fit and come together.
For the adults out there who are skeptical about a 21 year old leading their nation. I understand, I would be weary as well. But this position is nothing without the support from you all.
So if you have an idea on how to make this city even better. Don't hesitate to form a meeting with me or with someone who you feel can make that happen.
I can go on about the past and how it shaped us, but I rather put my time into the future and find ways to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.
It was never a Bender vs Non-Benders thing, it was our society creating an image on what they found favorable. Well today, I say goodbye to that image and welcome a place where everything will be equal. A place where every citizen has the right to vote for laws and have a freedom of speech.
We're not just Benders and Non-Benders. We're a community, a nation, and place where you can be whatever you want to be. Once again, I'm honored to accept this position as President and hope that we call can be a better change . Thank you!"
The crowd erupts with claps and I read the numerous of signs, held up by Republic City citizens. One of the signs held up by a little girl catches my eye. It reads,
'Marry The Avatar'.
"That's very cute." I say into the mic.
"Is it cuter than me?" I turn around, reckoning the voice and my mic falls out of my hand.
"Korra, you're supposed to be in the Fire Nation right now." I say, in disbelief.
She laughs and walks over to me.
"I had to hold you to your promise."
"I didn't promise you to come to my speech." I reply.
She rolls up her sleeves.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"I'm about to bend!"
"No, there are people here Korra!"
Despite my protest, she gets in her bending stance.
"Mako can you do your job?" I yell out, but instead my bodyguard just smiles and shakes his head.
"I'm off duty at the moment."
This is so unprofessional and unorganized right now. It's like a free for all! Where is the order?
Korra start bending a collection elements. Which gets the crowd to watch in amazement. Her bending has improved so much. She only has to learn one more element, which is fire and she will done with training. I'm so proud of her! All her hard work has paid gets out of bending stance and bows.
I slowly clap.
"Great, you stole the show. Now can you let me run this city?" I tease.
She smirks.
"I'm about to steal your last name too!"
She turns back to the crowd and sends a fire ball into the air and I'm speechless.
"Fire?" I ask.
She turns to me and smiles "Yeah fire."
"You did it!" I say, jumping with joy. I don't care if I just made a speech about how mature I am. This is incredible!
I rush into her arm.
"I'm so proud of you! You did it." I say, between tears.
"You did it too Madam President." She replies.
"We both did it!"
she lets go of me and gets on one knee. There is no way she's doing this right now.
"Korra, no don't!" I say covering my mouth.
I try to help her up but she laughs.
"Madam President you will marry me."
Despite the noise from the crowd my attention is on this amazing woman.
"We're never breaking up remember? So we might as well."
Just her eyes alone, kills me every time. No matter what emotion she goes through her eyes will forever be one of the reasons I fell in love with her.
I push the hair off my face. I can't believing we're doing this in front of the whole nation. My PR team is going to have their work cut out for them tomorrow and for the first time I don't care! I don't see myself without Korra by my side. Being on newspapers, tv, and social media will be nothing new. I want her with me everywhere so yes I will marry her.
"Yes, I will marry yo.." before I could finish, I'm lifted up into the air.
"SHE SAID YES!"
I cover my face out of embarrassment, as there is a standing ovation.
I knew there was a reason why I hated her.
The End
Author's Note
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this story .Even though this was a Korraasami fic I wanted to incorporate the 'I'm supposed to' theme to several of the characters in this story. I had this concept for a while now and I'm happy that I took a risk and made this story.
I don't plan on making a sequel to this story at all. Somethings are better left untouched. I do however have a new story, that will be posted very soon and I put a preview of it in the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy.
