Unconditional
Lin groaned as she shut off her alarm. She had to get up and head over to the Island and set up security for the wedding. Being in charge sucked sometimes she thought as she rolled over to look at Kya. The woman sleeping peacefully with her arms under her pillow. Her mouth was open and she had a bit of drool leading to her pillow.
"Why does she have to be so cute?" Lin mumbled as she sat up on one arm.
She leaned over and kissed her on the head. She knew Kya was going to wake up when she got out of bed but she did it as quietly as possible. She stretched as she walked into the bathroom to do her business. She hoped the wedding went off without a problem because she was also a guest. And she did want to spend time with her girls. She smiled at that as she brushed her teeth. They were both finally her girls. She wasn't going to come home to an empty house anymore. She was going to have to silence the silence with a bottle anymore. She wasn't going to have to follow some man or woman home and leave right after her last orgasm. She wasn't going to have keep telling people she was fine when she really wasn't. She hadn't been at all.
It had hurt so much to see everyone around her with their lives working out. But nothing had been worse than when she had her bending taken any form her. She had an empty body to match her empty heart. If Korra hadn't come to check on her that day then she doesn't think she would be here right now. Everything had just become too much for her. Losing her bending, losing Kuvira, ruining her chance with Kya, Kya being there but not being able to tell her she loved her, and not being close with her family. Lin had drunk bottle after bottle. When she came to Korra was healing her and yelling at her. Telling her if she died she was going to bring her back and kill her herself. She passed out again after that but when she woke up again Korra was still there sitting quietly at her side. Lin hugged her and apologized before breaking down in her arms. Korra cried to and they sat like that for what seemed like hours afterwards. Korra told her she didn't have to tell her a thing but she made her promise to never do this again. She had so many things to live for. And if she didn't then she should live for the people around her. Everyone would miss her if she would have drunk herself to death. Korra would definitely miss her. Lin had become a part of her life and she didn't want to lose her. Lin of course promised and spent the next say getting rid of all the alcohol in her house. That had been such a turnaround for Korra and her friendship. It only grew more after Korra returned her bending. She stopped pushing people away all together. And she has never been happier. She opened back up her heart after all these years and let her family and friends back in. Izumi had really missed her and she would be a liar if she said didn't miss her to.
"Good morning." Kya said when she stepped out the bathroom. Lin looked over to see Kya hugging her pillow and giving her a soft smile.
"Good morning baby." She said opening her dresser where she kept her uniform.
"I wish you didn't have to go." Kya said watching as Lin but on a t-shirt and pants before bending her uniform on her.
"Me to." Lin said straitening her uniform out. "It's really tempting to just crawl back into bed with you."
"But not tempting enough to put one of your officers in charge and do so." Kya pouted.
Lin chuckled walking over to her. "No but I really wish it was." She took a seat on the edge and leaned over her.
"What's the point of being in charge of you can't make your own rules." Kya said smiling up at her.
"Making a good example for whoever replaces you." Lin said cupping her cheek.
"How many more years until you're no longer the example?" Kya asked as her fingers traced the features on her face. "You've given this job so much of your life and time. You don't have to do that anymore. And I'm not trying to tell you to drop everything. I asking you to think about it. Think about picking someone else to be the next chief. Think about taking more days off. Think about lessening the work load on yourself. Think about coming home earlier. Think about focusing on yourself so you can focus on us." She said softly. She didn't want to outright tell Lin that she should resign and live her life with her. That she wanted to show Lin the world.
Lin took her hand and laced their fingers together. She kissed each one of Kya knuckles and rested her forehead on their hands. Closing her eyes and she breathed deeply through her nose. "I know what you want you're trying to say Kya." She looked and saw Kya's eyes widen. "And it's ok. I have thought about it. Through the years I've had nothing but time to think about things. I know how much you love to travel."
"I don't love it as much as I love you! I just wanted to show you where I've been or new places! I thought you might like it." Kya finished quietly as she looked away.
Lin shook her head as she kissed her hand again. "Love you didn't let me finish. I know that I come first in your heart like you do in mine. Like I said I thought about a lot of things. A part of me knew that you would be asking sooner or later. And I have no problem with it. I would love to travel the world with the woman I love. I just ask that you give me a little more time. I just got Kuvira back and I want a little more time with her before we just separate for a long period of time. I also already picked Mako as a successor but I want to make sure a few things are in order. I don't want to just drop a whole bunch of bullshit on the kid and walk away."
Kya sat up and rested her forehead on Lin's. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make it seem like I was rushing you. I didn't know that you had thought so much on it. And I was prepared to give you as much time with Kuvira. As much as you wanted. She can even come with us if you guys want. I don't mind. She's kind of grown on me." She said loving the way Lin's eye's sparkled.
"You're amazing." Lin said smiling at her.
"And you're wonderful." Kya said kissing her.
"I better go." Lin said giving her another kiss.
"Yes you're the boss remember." Kya said kissing her again.
"Yeah." Lin said quickly kissing her again.
Kya started to giggle when Lin didn't pull away but pressed harder. "Baby!" Kya said pulling back with a laugh. Lin groaned as she rested her head on her chest. "You can kiss me all you want later at the wedding. Now go!" Kya said gently pushing Lin to her feet.
Lin hung her head as she dragged her feet to the closet to get her suit. Kya just laughed at how ridiculous Lin was being. She settled back against the headboard and hugged Lin's pillow close again. "Hey." She called out before Lin stepped out the bedroom. Lin turned and raised an eyebrow. "See you later chief" She said with a smile.
Lin laughed. "See you later water tribe girl." She said closing the door behind her as she left out of the room.
Lin knocked on Kuvira's door before she went in. Kuvira was still asleep. She kissed her forehead and turned to walk back out.
"Lin?" Came Kuvira's sleepy voice.
"Hey koibito." Lin said coming back to sit on her bed.
"The sun hasn't started raising yet." Kuvira said rolling on her side to get a better look at her.
"I know but I have to head over to the Island and start setting up security stuff. Post and routes and more stuff with my officers." Lin explained to the sleepy woman.
"Sounds pretty boring."
"It is but I'll get to be you guys later." Lin said brushing hair out of her face. She was so adorable. "And me and Kya expect a dance from you. One for the both of us."
Kuvira groaned as a blush spread across her face. She rolled over and hid her face in her pillow. Lin laughed. "What? You don't want to dance with us."
"That's not it." Kuvira said facing her again. "You two aren't the first people to ask me to dance."
"Oh who else?" Lin asked surprised.
"Ms. Sato and the Avatar." Kuvira mumbled.
"Oh that's nice of them." Lin said petting Kuvira's hair.
"I told them they don't have to. I feel like some kind of charity case. I don't want to ruin their night." Kuvira said picking with her covers.
"Trust me they don't do anything unless they want to. And I'm talking about when it doesn't concern their jobs." Lin said kissing her forehead. "I'm going to head out. I'm having a car sent here to pick the both of you up later."
"Ok." Kuvira said with a yawn.
Lin stopped at the door and turned to look back at the woman snuggling down in her covers. "I can't wait to see you in your dress tonight. I know you're going to look beautiful."
"Thanks Lin." Kuvira giving her a sleepy smile.
Lin sighed as she left her house. She hoped these next couple of hours would fly by.
Kya huffed a quiet breath as she stared up at the ceiling. It was hard to fall asleep on her own now that she knows what being in Lin's arm's feel like. She smiled and turned over to look at Lin's empty spot. She wonders what it would be like if she had gotten over Lin. Because she did try. She couldn't just keep being in a one-sided love. It wasn't what anyone should be doing. She thinks of all the people who she tried with. She tried the sex thing. The no sex trail. She even tried falling for someone else and a couple times she fooled herself into thinking that was true but Lin hunted her dreams and paced her thoughts all day long. There was a woman that she had hoped she could have come close to loving.
The woman, whose name was Denta, she was perfect. She gave Kya everything she ever wanted. And yet Kya didn't love her. Denta knew that though and still held her close every night. Kissed her every morning and told her she was the only one that mattered in the world. Kya always felt so horrible staying and doing that to her. Every night she would think of getting up in the morning and leaving her so she wouldn't have to keep putting this wonderful woman through this. She deserved better than someone who was in love with someone who wouldn't love her back. But every morning she woke up to Denta's smile and her gentle kisses. Kya knew that she would have to let Denta be the one to let her go. She had cursed herself for even following Denta home. She was too good for her.
Kya had felt a different kind of heartbreak when that day had come. Denta told her she just couldn't do it anymore. She was in more pain than anything. That it wasn't turning into anything that either of them wanted. She told her that she hoped and prayed to Raava that Kya would love fall for her but it didn't look like it was going to happen. Kya was gone before night fall. She left without a word. There was nothing that she could have said. It wouldn't make her feel better or stop Denta from crying. She hadn't regretted one moment with her. Almost all their time together was wonderful. It also let her mind know what her heart already did. She would never be able to get over Lin. Kya closed her eyes as she sighed through her nose.
"I better go to sleep while I can."
Asami was getting ready in one of her spare rooms. She had given her room to Korra to get ready in. She was ready herself. She just couldn't decide between a bowtie or a regular tie. She had always worn bowties in the past so if she chose the tie then she would have to look up how to tie it properly. She grabbed both and headed downstairs to wait for Korra. Asami had decided to be different and wear a suit. It's been a while since she wore one. She sat down on a bar stool as she pulled up a video on how to tie a tie.
Korra had just finished putting on her water tribe jewelry. She was nervous. She hoped Asami thought she was beautiful. Korra usually thinks that her body is to masculine with all the muscles she has. Though the other woman had told her she would look beautiful covered in trash before she went to get ready for herself. Korra smoothed her dress down over her curves as she stood up. She went to the door and took a deep breath before walking out.
Asami looked up from where she was trying to get her tie to do right. Her mouth dropped open when Korra came into view. Korra looked beyond stunning in her dress. It was blue, floor length, sleeveless, strapless but tied behind her neck, her whole back was out, and it looked as if it had been painted on to her body. Her hair was up in a bun.
Korra was surprised when she saw Asami in her suit. Don't get her wrong. Asami looked gorgeous in her it. Her flawless silky black hair fell over her shoulders. She had on a deep red shirt and it looked like she was trying to put on a tie. She froze when she saw Korra. One of her hands was just hanging there because her fingers were trapped in one of the loops.
She laughed walking over. "You need some help there?"
Asami just continued to star at her dumbfounded as Korra helped her out. Korra jumped when Asami brushed the back of her hand against her cheek. "Korra you look so beautiful. But you do realize that all the attention is supposed to be on the bride and groom right?" Asami asked her softly as she stared into her eyes.
Korra blushed as she looked away. "I don't look that amazing." She mumbled.
"You're wrong." Asami said frowning at her. Korra gasped as she was pulled against Asami. The heels she had on put her right at the other woman's height. "I'm debating with myself if I should just lock you away in the house for the rest of the night so I can just keep looking at you." She said kissing Korra's cheek.
Korra blushed even more not sure what else to do. "Let's get you to the wedding so I can show off my date." Asami said winking at her as she offered her arm.
Kya put on her earrings as she walked out of Lin's room. She had just finished getting ready. Her dress was light blue, floor length mermaid style, lose long sleeves, and it dipped from shoulder to shoulder. Her hair was curled all except for the two braids that made sure her hair stayed in place. It made her look like she was wearing a crown. Kya was surprised that she was the one who was waiting on Kuvira instead of the other way around. She didn't have to wait long when she heard Kuvira's door opened.
"I was wo-" Kya's words fell away as Kuvira walked towards her. Kuvira's had two pieces of hair framing her face and the rest curled up into a bun. "Mío." Kya gasped. "You look beautiful. If there was a better word then I would use it." She walked over and hugged her.
"Thanks Kya and you look amazing to." Kuvira smirked. "Are you trying to give her a heart attack?"
"The only one that's capable of that today is you." Kya said playfully. "Let's go the car should be here by now."
Lin walked out of the women dorms putting her jacket on. She was so happy that the wedding had finally got started. Which meant she didn't have to oversee anything for much longer. As the guest started to flow in she looked for her girls. She began to worry when she didn't see them she had even saw Korra and Asami go in. They both looked amazing and she didn't hesitate to tell them so. She checked her phone just to see that thirty minutes had passed.
"Are you looking for someone?"
She turned around so fast she almost fell. "I think you broke her." Kuvira whispered loudly to Kya as Lin stood there staring at them.
Kya blushed from Lin's reaction. "You sure it wasn't you." She said nudging her.
"You guys look amazing! Better than beautiful!" Lin said still staring at them.
Kuvira giggled and Kya rolled her eyes. "You clean up nicely as well. Are you going to walk us in or just stare all day?"
"Starring doesn't sound so bad from where I'm at." Lin mumbled and Kya blushed again.
Kuvira giggled more. "How did I end up with the two of you dorks?"
Lin smiled. "Come on let's go to our seats." She said offering her arm to Kuvira and taking Kya's hand.
Kya noticed Lin stilling glances at her as she led them to their seat but she didn't say anything. Lin gave Kya her full attention when Kuvira wondered off. "Lin stop staring at me." Kya mumbled as she blushed looking away from Lin's soft smile.
"No." Lin said gently turning her face back. She leaned in and stole a kiss. "Never. You're too beautiful for me to not be looking you tonight. Plus you're all mines. I like to think I'm entitled to this little thing. Don't you think?" She swept her thumb over Kya's bottom lip.
Kya didn't answer her choosing to kiss her again. "Such a sweet talker."
Kuvira walked off to give the two of them some space after she found out where her seat was. She spotted the Avatar and Ms. Sato by the champagne table talking. "You to look amazing." She said when she got close enough. The other two woman turned to her and gasped. She nervously looked down at her dress. "What?"
"You look-"
"Beautiful!" Korra finished for Asami.
"Oh." Kuvira said blushing. "I think you two look way better than I do."
"How about we all look good?" Korra said taking her hands.
Kuvira smiled. "Yeah."
"We're all going to half to take pictures later." Asami said smiling at the two of them.
"But doesn't that cost money? And I don't have anything on me I left it all in my bag." Korra said looking over at the picture area.
Asami shrugged. "Don't worry about it. I'll pay for all three of us and I don't want to hear a word about it." She said glaring at the two of them when it looked like they were both about to object. They both gave a defeated sigh knowing it would be no use in arguing. "Hey none of that. We're supposed to be having fun." Asami said placing a hand on the small of their backs and leading them to the seating area. "Why can't the two of you accept my kindness? You know sometimes it's good to let yourself be treated how you should be." She squeezed both of their hips. They both blushed.
"Thank you Ms. Sato."
"Yeah thanks Sami."
Asami chuckled. "Are you ever going to call me Asami? There's no need for you to be so formal with me." She asked Kuvira.
"S-Sorry." Kuvira stuttered.
"Does that mean you're going to stop calling me Avatar?" Korra teased her raising an eyebrow.
"I'll work on it okay?" Kuvira mumbled.
"We'll see you after the ceremony." Asami said pulling her close for a quick hug.
"Ok." Kuvira said as Korra pulled her in for a hug. Kuvira gave them a smile as she made her way to her seat next to Lin.
"Hey you." Lin said as she took her seat. "Where did you go?"
"I went to say hi." Kuvira said as she sat down.
"How beautiful were Asami and Korra?" Kya asked smirking at her.
Kuvira blushed looking at her lap. "That was the first thing I said to them when I saw them."
"I see." Kya said giving Lin a look.
Lin smiled as she rolled her eyes. "When are you dancing with them?" Lin asked putting an arm around Kya's shoulders.
"I'm not sure." Kuvira said messing with her dress. "Why?"
Lin smirked at the confused look she received. "I was just wondering could you give me the honor of first dance." Kuvira blushed as she sputtered.
"Could I have the second dance?" Kya asked leaning forward to smile at her.
Kuvira looked away from them embarrassed and they both laughed quietly as the ceremony started.
After Varrick was brought back up from Zhu Li kissing him he quickly grabbed the microphone. "Up next is our first dance as a married couple. Zhu Li and I put a lot of thought into this. And we both agreed that we would like Kuvira to sing for us." Kuvira sat up straighter in shock. "Because if it wasn't for her then I wouldn't have gotten the crazy idea to propose. It also doesn't hurt that Kuvira has an amazing singing voice and it would be crazy to not let all of you hear it while she's hear. So will you bless our wedding with your voice?"
Lin nudged her when she didn't answer. "Y-Yes!" She stuttered.
"Prefect! Zhu Li do the thing!" Varrick said as his wife carried him off stage.
"Hey don't be nervous you're going to be great." Lin said squeezing her hands.
Kuvira nodded as she stood up with everyone. She made her way to the stage and told the band what song she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it. They brought her a stool as she as she adjusted to microphone stand. All eyes were on her but she felt perfectly fine. "I've never done this before so bear with me." She joked into the microphone as she took the guitar. They laughed and she smiled. "So this song just isn't for the married couple. If you're in love with someone bring them out and give them a dance. There's plenty of room." She saw people make room and couples join the new married couple out on the floor. She smiled at Lin and Kya who were standing next to Ms. Sato and the Avatar out on the dance floor.
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
Kuvira heard several people gasp as she started singing.
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
"She looks really beautiful up there." Asami said as they looked at Kuvira.
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
"Yeah you wouldn't think she was the woman we found yesterday." Korra said sadly.
I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
"Are you excited about our vacation staring tonight?" Asami asked as she spun Korra around.
I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night
"Are you kidding?" Korra asked smiling softly at her. "I get you to myself for a whole week with no one else around, no interruptions, or no emergencies. It's like a dream come true."
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow
Asami returned the smile. "I would like to think that it's been that way for the last couple of days."
I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Korra wrapped her arms around Asami's neck as they rocked from side to side. "Yeah and it's been amazing every single day waking up next to you. This however will be different. We'll hopefully be the only humans there. So it's like I'll be the last girl in the world you."
I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
Asami laughed loudly as she caught on to what Korra was saying. She kissed her forehead before resting hers on it.
I'm gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
'Cause now it's just you and me till we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
"You are really something special." Asami said looking her in the eyes.
Korra blushed and kissed her nose.
Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go
Kuvira bowed when she stood up as everyone gave her an around of applause. Everyone meet her when she existed the stage. She smiled as Lin and Kya hugged her.
"You were amazing up there." Kya said as they both kissed her temples.
"Thank you." Kuvira said as she pulled back.
"I think my heart stopped." Asami said winking at her.
"And I'm pretty sure I forgot how to breathe." Korra said placing a hand on her chest.
Kuvira blushed as they pulled her into a huge. "Thanks you guys."
"It's no problem. You should have people telling you how amazing you are as soon as you walk into the room after that." Asami said smirking at her.
"I swear you stay red." Korra said with a laugh.
"Shut up avatar." Kuvira huffed.
Korra pouted. "We talked about this! Call me Korra!"
"I told you I'm working on it." Kuvira mumbled crossing her arms as she looked away.
"Eh! What is there to work on? Just say my name." Korra said placing her hands on her shoulders. She huffed when Kuvira ignored her. "Come on we won't see you for a week! So you have to say it now. We'll be gone after this." Kuvira glanced at Asami who nodded with a smile.
Kuvira sighed as she uncrossed her arms. She glanced at the Avatar before looking at the floor. "K-Ko-Korra." She stuttered as her cheeks started to burn.
"Come on you can do better than that." Korra said smirking.
"K-Korra." Kuvira said again but still refused to look at the younger woman. She saw Korea shake her head out of the corner of her eye. "Korra." Kuvira said risking a glance. Korra was smiling at her and it looked like she was blushing as well.
"And my name?" Asami wrapped an arm around Korra's waist as she stepped closer to the two of them. Kuvira bit her lip and looked away.
"Yeah say Asami's name." Korra said gently grabbing her chin and lifting her head back up.
"It would be kind of rude to call the floor my name." Asami said smirking at how red she was.
Kuvira really wanted to run away but her body wasn't listening to her. "A-Asami." She said as she looked at the both of them.
"You can do better than that. Do it again without stuttering." Korra said stroking her jaw with her thumb.
Kuvira bit her lip relaxing into the touch. "Asami." She sighed.
Asami squeezed Korra's hip. Kuvira was being so cute it was unreal. "Thank you Kuvira."
"Yeah." Korra said pulling her hand away even though she didn't want to. "I don't think I've ever heard our names sound like that before."
Kuvira shivered as she looked away from blue and green.
Kya and Lin had been standing there the whole time but the three woman didn't seem to notice. "What the fuck?" Kya whispered to Lin. "Do they not even see this? Kuvira is being so freaking adorable right now! How have they not eaten her where she's standing yet!?"
"Kya!" Lin said blushing. She did not want to think of Kuvira that way.
"I'm only speaking the truth." Kya said shrugging.
Lin sighed pinching the bridge of her nose. "I'm going to break this up before it gets out of hand."
"Oh Lin! You can't stand in the way of young love!" Kya said dramatically as she walked away.
Lin shook her head at her. "Excuse me ladies but I think I was promised a dance." Lin said breaking up their conversation. All the women blushed as they looked at her.
"Sorry Lin." Asami said.
"We'll see you later Kuvira." Korra said smiling at her.
Kuvira watched them go. She looked away when she saw Lin looking at her. "What?" She asked wishing she could just open up the floor and sink into it.
"Nothing." Lin said smiling at her as she offered her arm. Kuvira took it and they wordlessly made their way to the dance floor. Lin decided to not tease her. It was clear that she was really embarrassed. "So I have some news." She started out as they began to dance.
"Good or bad?" Kuvira asked curious.
"Well that's up to you." Lin said with a shrug. "Tomorrow we're heading out to Ba Sing Se."
Kuvira nodded as she thought it over. It was a good and bad thing she guessed. It was good to see her people again, to say good bye to them, and to get her things. It was bad because she wouldn't be able to return again. She hoped all the work she put into her nation wasn't going to go to waste. "I see."
"The real good news is that we get rid of Su for a while." Lin said and Kuvira giggled.
"You shouldn't say mean things about your sister." She said flicking Lin in the forehead.
"I'll say anything to keep you happy." Lin said seriously.
"But I am happy. Happier than I have been in a while and I have you and Kya to thank for that. You two are the best parents I could ask for." Kuvira said smiling at Lin's speechless face.
"Thank you so much." Lin said hugging her. "You don't know how much I've wanted to hear that."
"I love you Lin. And I thought it was pretty obvious that I thought of you as my mom." Kuvira said wiping her tears.
"She's just an emotional lug nut." They turned to see Kya standing beside them. "Mind if I cut in while you go calm down?"
"She's all yours." Lin said passing Kuvira off to Kya.
"Kya." Kuvira said as they started dancing. "I know we haven't known each other very long but I want you to know that I uh um-"
"Hey it's ok just relax mío. It's only me." Kya said sweetly.
"I just wanted you to know that I think of the way I think of Lin. As my mom." Kuvira mumbled. She didn't want to freak Kya out.
"Really?" Kya asked as her eyes brightened. Kuvira nodded. "Thank you sweetheart. You grew on me to in such a short time." She hugged her and kissed her temple.
"I'm happy for you Lin." Tenzin said as he walked up to her.
"We were just telling Kya how perfect you to were for each other yesterday." Pema said smiling at her warmly.
Lin rolled her eyes. "Which means that you teased her. Tenzin your woman is evil." Lin said to her friend.
Tenzin chuckled. "I love her anyway. Just like you love Kya."
Lin looked over to the dance floor. "I really do."
Asami and Korra were off to the side lost in each other again when Mako walked over.
"Hey Korea, Asami." He said smiling at the two of them.
"Nice cast Mako." Asami said.
"Yeah it's annoying." Mako said glaring at the thing on his arm. "Anyway Korra do you think I can talk to you?"
The two woman glanced at each other. "Sure Mako." Korra said offering a small smile as she walked away from Asami.
Mako lead them to the edge of the party. "What is it?" Korra asked him.
"You look beautiful." He said with a laugh. "I feel like that's all I've been telling you that whenever I see you."
Korra laughed. "You look handsome tonight to."
"Listen Korra I just wanted you to know that I'll always be here for you. I'll have your back no matter what. Your one of my best friends." Mako said hugging her.
"You're one of my best friends to." Korra said returning the embrace.
"Well I've taken up a lot of your time. I'll let you get back to the party." He said as he walked away from her.
Korra leaned against the pillar and looked out towards the spirit portal. "What was all that about?" She heard Asami say before she was wrapped up in her arms.
"Nothing important. He just wanted to let me know that he'll always be there for me." Korra said as she relaxed back against Asami.
"Not what I was expecting." Asami said leaning her head on Korra's.
"I know right."
"We're just waiting on Kuvira, take a couple pictures, and then we can head out." Asami said looking at the spirit portal.
"I can't wait." Korra said excitedly making Asami laugh.
Kya went looking for Lin when her dance with Kuvira ended. She spotted her next to the food table. Before she could make her way over someone called her name.
"Kya!" She turned around to see woman making her way over. "I knew that was you."
"Rinta?" Kya asked surprised to see her here. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm a cousin of the bride." Rinta said with shrug. "I'm surprised to see you here. I thought would be far from your thing."
Kya frowned at the jab. "I'm not like that anymore."
"Finally came to your senses and let that one-sided love go?" Rinta asked raising an eyebrow.
Kya grabbed her arm as her frowned deepened. "I already apologized for how I treated you. It was wrong of me."
Rinta waved her off as another woman came over. "I know that already. I just came over to introduce you to my wife."
The new woman looked Kya up and down. "So this is the woman that used you for sex even though you loved her?"
"Yup the one and only heartbreak Kya." Rinta said gesturing towards Kya.
"So you and Kya huh?" Lin turned to see her sister standing there.
"Yeah." Lin said eyeing her.
"It's about time." Su said focusing on the table.
Lin sighed shaking her head. "Su what do you want?" Lin said having spotted Kya over her shoulder.
"Listen Lin I just wanted to apolog-"
"Save it Su. I know you and it hasn't been long enough for you to have learned anything. We're heading out to Ba Sing Se like you wanted tomorrow. After that don't speak to me until you have everything figured out in your head." Lin said excusing herself quickly.
She could tell Kya looked uncomfortable from here. Even more so when another woman walked over. Her suspicious were proven when she saw how Kya was holding her arm. She curled an arm around Kya and pulled her flush to her body.
"Lin!" Kya blushed looking at the other woman.
"Are you ok?" Lin whispered in her ear. She frowned when she saw Kya glance at the other couple.
"Chief it's probably best that you find someone else. That one is a lost cause." Rinta joked as her wife laughed.
Lin didn't even look away from Kya as she addressed the other woman. "The only one here that's a lost cause is me. Since she had to wait so long for me to tell her I love her." She lovingly kisses kissed Kya's cheek. "Now I don't know who you are but if I see you in my city after today I'll kick your ass." Rinta gulped and quickly walked away.
Kya sighed and kissed Lin. "Thank you."
"I'm guessing you want to get out of here?" Lin asked the woman in her arms.
Kya nodded. "I'm sorry." She said sadly.
"Don't worry about it. We can go down to the beach." Lin said kissing her again.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Kuvira asked as she found Korra and Asami. The two untangled from each other to face her. "Not at all. We were just waiting for you." Asami said smiling at her.
"Oh." Kuvira said blushing. "So who's first?"
"Korra can go first." Asami said kissing her on the cheek and pushing her forward. "She's not a very good dancer but she can follow."
"She's lying I'm a great dancer." Korra said she took Kuvira's hand.
Kuvira laughed. "I doubt that but I got you."
"You know Asami isn't so right about things." Korra grumbled. "But you'll find that out when we get back."
"I'm guessing she's right about most things though and most things involving you." Kuvira teased as she swayed with Korra. Korra pouted and Kuvira knew she was right. "I'm guessing she has her hands full with you."
"Well now she's going to have double the trouble." Korra said sticking her tongue out.
"Oh no. I'm not letting you suck me into causing trouble." Kuvira said with a smile.
"Who says that I even have to try? You might have a wild side that you haven't unlocked yet." Korra said wiggling her eyebrows.
"You're going to be a handful for me to I see." Kuvira groaned. "But I think I'll like it." She said with wink as Asami stepped in.
"I'm not surprised you can dance." Kuvira said as Asami led her around.
"I have a lot of talents." Asami said holding her eyes. Kuvira blushed and looked away. "It's your talents that I'm interested in getting to know."
"I'm not that special." Kuvira said giving her a soft smile.
"Well we both think you are. We're looking forward to getting to know you." Asami told her. "And letting you find out more about us."
"So am I." Kuvira said.
"Can we give it to her now?" Korra asked impatiently.
"Somethings never change." Asami said shaking her head. She kept her arm around Kuvira as she pulled out keys. "These are the keys to my house and my car keys are in the garage. You can go ahead and start using it of you want. You can even drive the cars."
Kuvira didn't know what to say as she took the keys. "Thank you." She said looking at the both of them.
Asami gave her a hug. "Your welcome." Korra hugged her from behind.
"Le's go take those pictures." Korra said pulling them back to the party.
They took a lot of pictures. They took some together, on their own, and with their friends and family. Asami went to pay for everything when they were done.
"You can pick out all the ones you want. Asami said something about them sending a email or something to the house so we can pick out the photos. Whichever one's you choose can you get enough for all three of us to split?" Korra asked her.
"Sure and thank you guys for tonight and letting me stay at your place." Kuvira said smiling.
"It's nothing." Asami said as she came back over. "We're going to take off now." She pulled them in for a goodbye hug.
"I hope you guys have a good time." Kuvira said as they broke apart.
"We will see you in a week." Korra said waving at her before they walked away.
Lin bent a chair from the earth and sat down in it. She pulled Kya down in her lap and wrapped her arms around her. They weren't alone out on the beach. Ikki and her brothers were out playing in the water.
"What happened back there?" Lin asked resting her head on Kya's shoulder.
"That was someone from my past that I slept with." Kya sighed holding Lin's hand. "I hurt a lot of people when I was trying to forget you."
"I did to so I understand." Lin said kissing her shoulder. "But we'll talk about that another time. Let's just enjoy the rest of our night." She pulled Kya's face down and kissed her.
Kuvira dropped her bag off by the couch as she walked through Asami's house. She opened the glass sliding doors and Naga ran over.
"You're Naga right?" Kuvira asked as the polar bear dog sniffed her.
Naga sensed she wasn't trouble and she smelled her owners on her. Kuvira giggled as Naga licked her. "I like you to girl. It'll just be me and you here for a little bit." Kuvira said petting her.
"I promise I'm going to take good care of you while we're together. You'll have to go to the Island tomorrow though. I'm sure the air kids would love to have you." Naga's tail thumbed on the ground and she knew she had said the right things.
"Let me go change and we'll play before I go to bed." Kuvira said heading back inside with Naga following her.
