Korra woke up smiling, feeling Asami's arms around her. She opened her eyes and turned to face her lover, taking a strand of Asami's hair and playing with it. They stood there for a moment, smiling sheepishly at each other, getting used to that newfound intimacy. Putting her hand in Korra's cheek, Asami closed the distance between their mouths and kissed her, Korra responded immediately, both of them reminding themselves this wasn't just a dream.
Slowly Korra pushed away, her eyes were shining, her face contaminated by her broad smile. Asami's heart skipped a beat as she was reminded of how beautiful that girl was. And Korra is mine! Asami thought, smiling back at the avatar.
"We have to go explore!" Said Korra sitting up and making Asami's hand fall off Korra's face. The engineer groaned rolling to the other side to lay on her back and began to stretch.
As they were eating breakfast Korra started to sense that something was up with Asami. She wasn't sure how, but she knew that something was bothering the girl in front of her. That was enough to bring back all of Korra's insecurities… what if she is regretting ever being with me, and realized she didn't really love me back?! What if I'm a really bad kisser and horrible at sex and she now hates me?!
Before she could stop herself, Korra said: "Look Asami if you don't like me anymore or you regret what happened yesterday we can go back to before and be only friends…"
Asami, Who was immersed in her own thoughts about their relationship, looked at Korra surprised. Her own insecurities started to bottle up, does she not want me anymore? Is she looking for an easy way out? The engineer decided that the more direct approach was the best way to handle it,
"Of course not Korra! I want this! Why are you asking me that? Do you want to just be friends?" She looked at Korra with her brows furrowed not sure she would like the answer.
"No! I want this! I just… O noticed something was bothering you and thought…"
"Oh, huuumm, it's not that... it's not you… or us."
"So what is it?"
Asami took a deep breath, she really wanted more time to process her own feelings about it before sharing them with Korra. A little part of her just thought that if her lover realized the problems they would face as a couple, that would make her give up on them. But she knew by the way Korra was looking at her, she couldn't run away from this conversation, so she looked down at her food - afraid to look the avatar in the eye - and talked:
"I was thinking of everything we'd have to deal when we got back, as a couple. Everyone would look at us, you know, the avatar and the Future industries' owner… I think people would look at us differently, I'm sure some of my competitors would accuse me of using you to get an advantage... And the elections are coming, some candidates can try to use me to get to you, or use you to get to me… There's also our friends I not sure I am ready to deal with their reaction… I imagine everyone would be happy for us at some point, but I not sure how Mako would get it at first… I think is too much pressure…" Asami raised her head to look at Korra, both of their eyes were tearing up "I love you so very much, I can't even express that in words, and the thing that I want more than anything in the world is to make this work."
Korra looked back at her with loving eyes. Part of her was really scared as the reality of what Asami said started to sink in. But the part of her she was showing to her girlfriend(?) was the confident part, the one Asami needed right now. She got up and walked a few steps to stand right in front of the engineer and bent to kiss Asami's forehead. She sat to look her in the eye.
"Leave it up to the engineer to think too much in the VA-CA-TION." She said giggling, Asami smiled a little embarrassed. "I love you, and you love me." She kissed Asami lightly on the lips. "Yes, we are going to face a lot of pressure and crisis when we get back home, not only because we who we are but because we are together now. Bu..."
"You should work on your pep talks Korra" Asami interrupted with a raised eyebrow.
"However," Korra continued ignoring the interruption. "we are going to do it together. We a both very intelligent human beings. I'm sure we are going to figure something out."
