Hello, this is my first Korrasami fanfic, and my second fic ever. English is not my first language, but I am petty good at it, anyway I would love some constructive criticism.

About the fanfiction, I have some things I would like to address:

Since the avatar world is not based on our occidental culture and there is not anything that indicates homophobia, or even the concept of homosexuality (that is an occidental concept), I decided to not use those ideas. I chose to make it a normal thing for two people of the same gender to be together.

On the same note, There is one moment that I used the word "hell" because I was not able to think of a better word. However, I would like to point out that I am not sure if it is a concept present in their world since it is an idea derived from Christianity.
At last, I would like to share a song that inspired me, it is a Brazilian song called "Dia branco" (white day) written by Geraldo Azevedo. I tried to translate, it is not the same thing but here it is:

White Day

If you come

For whatever comes

With me ...

I promise you the sun

If the sun is ou

Or the rain ...

If rain falls

If you come along

As far as we can go

At a park

In front of the sea

Anywhere ...

In this white day

If it is a white day

If you want and you come

With me

If you come

For whatever comes

With me ...

I promise you the sun

If today the sun is out

Or the rain ...

If the rain falls

If you come along

As far as we can go

At a park

In front of the sea

Anywhere ...

In this white day

If it is a white day

If you want and you come

This song

This great love

Great love ...

If you want to come along

For whatever comes

With me

With me, with me

Korra and Asami were lying next to each other inside the tent, both looking up in silence. They had arrived that night in the spirit world and decided to sleep early to wake up early the next day. Problem is, they couldn't fall asleep, both immerse in thoughts and feelings, processing what they had been through and what they had to face when they went back.

Asami was still grieving her father's death, and was really scared of what the invasion to republic city meant to her company. She was determined to honor her father by making the company thrive, but how was she to do that when most of her workers ran away and some of her factories were destroyed? Also, the poverty that resulted from the invasion of republic city and the end of the earth empire meant her market was compromised. She was really fucked.

Korra was scared of what was coming next. How was she to help end what was left of the earth empire and stop the slavery that Kurvira had started but didn't end with her? How could she help bring freedom to the earth people? And then there was the new portal in republic city, people are certainly not going to be happy about that! Can she close the portal? Should she close the portal? If not, how could she help the spirit world integrate with republic city? How could she stop people from doing like Varrick and using the spirits to make experiments? She was really fucked.

On top of all that they were also thinking about each other and how they felt. They both thought that the feeling was mutual, but that little 20% of insecurities made a lot more noise.

"Asami, are you sleeping?" Asked Korra. Maybe talking to her would make the scary thoughts stop for a bit.

"No" answered Asami turning to her side to face Korra. She turned on the flashlight, to better see Korra (she would never admit it, but looking at Korra was/is one of her favorite pastimes).

"Let's talk." said Korra still looking up, examining the shades that were forming in the tent's ceiling.

"About what?"

"I don't know, we never finished catching up that day that prince Woo was kidnapped, remember?"

"That sounds like years ago!"

"Yeah. So?"

"So?"

Korra paused for a moment, there was something she had wanted to ask Asami for a while, but she never had the courage. She probably was the most cowardly avatar ever. She thought back to the story Katara had told her, Aang had kissed Katara before the invasion of the fire nation on the eclipse day. She did that, well, her past live did that. Maybe that courage was still there in her spirit somewhere. Korra thought about how much easier it would all be if she had a connection to her past lives. Before she could find something in her soul searching courage quest, Asami said something.

"Soooo, did you date someone after that hole Mako thing?"

Korra's heart stopped for a second. She didn't say anything at first, calculating the answer.

"Well, I wouldn't call it dating..."

"Go on," said Asami with a raised eyebrow. Korra flustered.

"I went out with a guy for a few months last year, when I was a little better. He was the son of a friend of my parents. But then I realized that he liked me more than I liked him and broke it off." She paused, not sure she should tell Asami the rest. She decided to say it before she had no courage left in her. "Then I had a thing with this girl in the earth kingdom, while I was there, you know, recuperating it was mostly physical, we both didn't want anything with each other, we were both running away from something." Korra shut her eyes, she didn't want to see Asami's expression not even by her peripheral vision.

Asami didn't know what to think, how to process what she heard. Korra liked girls, that was a good thing, but the thought of her doing anything with another human being was very bothering. Then she was bothered by the fact that she was bothered by that, Korra wasn't her's, the girl had the right to have a life and do whatever she wanted with her body. But it still hurt a bit, even after all that rationalization.

The silence between them was like hell* to Korra. What was Asami thinking? Was she surprised? Did she know Korra liked girls? Did she like girls too? Korra took a deep breath and decided to break the silence by returning the question to the girl next to her.

"And you?" Korra wanted to look Asami in the eye, but at the same time, she was scared of what she was going to see. She thought of Aang and made herself lay on her side and level her head to Asami's. The tension between them increased realized how little was the distance between their mouths.

"I had a few partners. I went out with someone now and then. I was only serious with a person once, it was two years ago, her name was Bai, she was a anthropologist at the republic city university. But she broke off with me." Because she knew I was in love with you, Asami completed in her head. Korra was now looking her in the eye. She felt like they were communicating a hole lot more through their eyes then through their mouths.

(The following dialogue happen only by looks)

'I didn't know you liked women.' said Korra with a raised eyebrow

'I didn't know you liked women either.' replied Asami with both eyebrows raised.

'Well, I guess we both like women then.'

'Yeah we do.'

The tension was palpable, both women were wondering what should be the next step. Asking themselves if this was the right moment to declare their love. Korra decided to call it a night, she thought this was not how she wanted to tell Asami how she felt, it was definitely not how she had imagined it. But then she remembered how close she was to Asami, there was only a few inches between her mouth and the love of her life's mouth, that made it a lot more difficult to walk away, to say good night.

Asami was almost going to say the 'I love you' that she had kept for years inside, the only thing stopping her was her fear of being rejected. She didn't know how she would live if Korra didn't feel the same way, she was going through enough already, rejection would probably take all of the little strength she had left. Asami closed her eyes, she couldn't bare looking at Korra anymore, she was too close, yet too distant. Suddenly she felt a movement, Korra was siting up.
"Asami, are you still awake? I need to tell you something."

This was it. Asami took a deep breath, and o sat up as well, opening her eyes. Korra was so beautiful, her hair was all messy, and somehow that made her much more adorable. Looking at that beautiful woman in front of her didn't help her heart beat less rapidly. The same thing was going through Korra's head as she noticed how Asami look impeccable even then. Her beautiful hair framing her perfect face, and highlighting the softness and hope in her green eyes. that vision almost made Korra lose her hability to speak, but she took a deep breath and began the speach she had rehearsed in her head for so long.

"Asami, I have felt something more for you for a long time. I don't know exactly when it started, but that doesn't really matter now... I just didn't have the courage to say anything because we were friends and I was afraid that it would ruin what we had, then I realized that I would never be happy if I spent my life not knowing ho..."

"I love you" Asami interrupted Korra's rambling. She was now smiling, enchanted by the avatar's confusing speech and her embarrassed face that soon became a happy face, a really cheeky happy face.

"I love you t…"

Korra was interrupted by Asami's lips in hers. Between kisses Korra managed to complain about Asami interrupting her love declaration twice, only to bee interrupted me her own moaning caused by asami's mouth on her neck.

The next morning Asami was the first one to wake up. She tensed up, realizing she was not in her bed and that she was naked, but then she remembered, a trip, with Korra. She remembered what happened the night before and a smile instantly appeared on her face. She opened her eyes, realizing her love was not in her arms. Korra was lying on her side to Asami's right, facing the tent's wall, also naked, very nicely naked. Too far away, Asami thought moving closer to Korra and spooning her.

She almost couldn't bare the happiness that fulfilled her heart. How could she live before? Just imagining not being with Korra made her shiver. Let's not think about that! Now I have her! Korra. The avatar. The avatar? I'm with the avatar? Shit. I'm with Korra.

Asami was now panicking. Thinking about the consequences of being with THE FUCKING AVATAR. She could see her competitors accusing her of using her girlfriend to get advantages. Asami smiled, my girlfriend. Korra. She loves me. Although we didn't discuss labels. What if she does not want to be my girlfriend? Stop Asami, she does, she loves you! She loves me! The avatar loves me! The avatar… She was now imagining Raiko trying to use her to get to Korra... And with the election coming... all politicians would want to do that.

Shit.

They had only started this yesterday. Could their relationship bare all those pressures?
