Hey Guys, This is the new chapter, I hope you like where it's going! :)
If you have any thoughts, please review!
Korra Breathed in the Tea, she held the cup firmly with both hands to feel the warmth. She was never a big fan of tea like Asami was, but Iroh's tea was the best tea she had ever had.
"Thank you, Iroh for teaching me the art of making tea." said Asami, as she poured herself another cup. She was seating beside Korra smiling at Iroh who was seated in front of her.
"It was my pleasure! I always believed my most important mission on the mortal world was to disseminate the true art and beauty of a good cup of tea. I now pass that mission to you young Asami." Said Iroh, smiling back at the mortal with a tone that was at the same time ceremonial and playful. Asami bowed her head to the spirit, accepting the mission.
The group stayed silent for a moment while enjoying the tea.
Asami and Korra s trip was ending, it had been nine days since they had entered the spirit world and they were planning to go back to republic city on the tenth day. The time they spent together on that world had been the happiest days they had ever had in awhile. They were both truly nervous to come back, mostly because they hadn't talked about what to do when they went back to the mortal world. Both had thought a lot about it, but they really weren't great communicators. (They really had to work on that)
After that afternoon tea, Korra and Asami said goodbye to Iroh and went back to their camp to start packing. After everything was packed they lay side by side and stared at the night sky. That should be a lovely happy moment. But it never is, is it? It is always those cute little moments that the books say will be endearing that are the most awkward.
Case in point:
Asami could barely breathe, she was so nervous about the conversation that they should be having. She was not sure what was worse the prospect of having the conversation or going back to the mortal world without having it. She was a planner, you don't get to be a successful businesswoman without lots and lots of planning. But she didn't have a plan, all she really had was a feeling.
Korra was focusing every atom in her body to not hyperventilate so that Asami wouldn't notice how nervous she was feeling. She knew they had to have that conversation, she was ready to start it. But every time she opened her mouth to speak, she would begin doubting the speech she had been practicing for days and close her mouth immediately. She was feeling a lot of different things, and all she wanted to do was talk to her best friend about it. But she was afraid that anything she said could just break her relationship to pieces.
The awkwardness of the moment was getting to an unbearable level when they decided to say something. At the same time.
"We need to talk..." said Asami.
"Soo, I was thinking..." said Korra.
After a small silence, Asami told Korra to go first. Korra accepted the invite without a struggle and sat up to look down at her.
"We need to talk about what we are going to do when we go back tomorrow... I was thinking we could maybe wait a little bit to tell everyone about us," she sighed, "I don t feel like sharing us with the others" Korra looked carefully at Asami s expression, she wasn't sure the girl would like her idea. She wasn't even sure she liked her idea.
Asami sat up, nodding in agreement "I was feeling the same thing, I am not sure I'm ready to know what people are going to think about us..."
"Yeah, and with everything that's happening, I don't think we need to add something more, to us and the others" Korra added.
"Especially Mako" Asami commented jokingly.
"Oh, yeah, especially Mako" Korra giggled.
The next morning Korra was unusually the first one to wake up. Even after all those days, she was surprised when she realized that she was naked, as was the woman spooning her who, by the way, was Asami fucking beautiful Sato. She smiled.
As she was laying there, being held by the woman she loved, the waterbender realized she'd never felt that comfortable with anyone, not even her parents, she felt like Asami knew all of her, every single part of her and loved her for it.
But, at the same time, she felt their relationship was still fragile. Like a diamond, it was beautiful and strong, but if you put the right amount of pressure in the right place, it shatters. They've been dating less than a month, and they were on a vacation. Could their relationship survive the pressures they were going to face in the mortal world? If there is one thing her thing with Mako taught her, was that love is not always enough.
Her thoughts were interrupted by as kiss Asami planted at the back of her neck, making her smile with pleasure. "I didn't realize you were awake." Korra said, moving her hand on top of Asami's that was on her belly.
"Good morning" Said Asami, Korra could feel the smile in her voice.
"Good morning, beautiful" Replied the Avatar turning to give Asami a proper kiss. "Can you believe today is the last day?" she asked with a sad tone.
"Not really. This was the best vacation of my life, thank you for it." Asami pushed Korra making her lie on her back and straddled her. Korra looked surprised for a second but soon after her eyes were filled with desire as her lover leaned down to kiss her passionately. Both of them enjoying one last time before they had to go back to the real world.
