Plastered

Korra was surprised to say the least. She never pegged Asami Sato as a lightweight. Four shots in and the engineer was making friends with everyone in the bar. Six shots in, her jacket was off and on Korra instead because it made her arms look "even more buff." The Avatar watched as Asami took her eighth shot. Black hair fell back in a wave and glass slammed against mahogany not a second later.

Asami laughed as she wiped up her check with her palm. "That's making six!" She shouted at Bolin, who was on the same level, as they high fived. Though instead of pulling their hands away, they rested their palms together. Both of them instantly fell into a laughing fit and Korra couldn't help but chuckle.

She waited for them to settle down before putting a hand on Asami's shoulder. "You guys doing alright?" Playfulness was audible in her tone.

Asami turned on her heels. "Korra!" She giggled and tugged on the unbuttoned sides of Korra's new coat to bring her closer. "My jacket looks great on you." The green eyed heiress placed both hands on the shorter girl's traps. "So good. Wow."

Korra gave a breathy laugh, "Well you gave it to me."

Asami reached her arms around her friend's neck and closed the space between them.

Korra felt her face heat up. Her breath hitched as their abdomens touched.

"Red suits you, Avatar."

"Thanks." Korra wasn't sure if she was talking about the jacket or her flushed cheeks. What she did know was Asami had never been this touchy with her before. But there they stood. Both unwavered and pressed together in a random Earth Kingdom tavern that Tenzin—of all people—had suggested they go to. The blue eyed girl made a mental note to visit bars each time they found other airbenders. They deserved to celebrate more right?

"I think you need to catch up, Korra." Asami grinned as she slid her hands inside the jacket and down to Korra's collarbones. "You seem tense."

Asami's fingertips were hot against the thin fabric of her shirt. Korra cleared her throat with a flustered laugh. "Maybe I should get you back to the airship, 'Sami."

Asami grinned, her eyes landed on Korra's lips as she held her own between her teeth. "You gonna walk me back to my room?"

Wow, Korra thought. Asami was blatantly flirting with her in front of everybody. Considering everyone was drunk they most likely wouldn't remember. But Korra was only buzzed and she didn't think of herself as oblivious either. Asami had been dropping hints for a few weeks now. Not that Korra minded though, she had flirted back on multiple occasions and even initiated a few. "If you can't walk straight I don't really have a choice do I?" She responded.

"Mmn, guess you don't." Asami giggled and pulled away from the other girl.

Korra shrugged the coat off her shoulders and draped it around Asami's. "C'mon." She wrapped an arm around her waist for support as they walked.

As soon as they passed the threshold Asami began to laugh.

"What?" Korra asked with an amused expression.

"You know what, " The green eyed girl said as she pretended to be mad, "Stop trying to get frisky with me." She poked Korra's cheek with her index finger.

The Avatar laughed, "Fine." She let go of Asami who stood for about a second before falling onto a patch of grass.

"Are you okay?" Korra asked with a smile, though she already knew the answer.

"Mhmn."

"Well then get up," she said and put a hand out to help.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because the grass is nice and cool."

"Well you can't just lay here all night," Korra said laughing. "Come on."

"No, no. I like this grass." Asami said from the ground.

The roll of Korra's eyes were playful as she bent down. "Upsy-daises." She lifted the girl up into her arms bridle-style, which elicited a squeal from Asami.

Once settled, the heiress wrapped her arms around Korra's neck as she walked. "How did you get so strong?" Asami asked staring up at her close friend.

"Well I—" Korra stopped talking when Asami pinched her cheeks together with one hand.

The Avatar spoke but her teeth rode against her inner cheeks. "Wha-er you dow-wing?"

"They are so soft."

Korra chuckled as she turned her head away from Asami's grip. She looked back down at the girl who was studying her intently.

"Are your lips soft too?" Asami asked placing a gentle fingertip against Korra's mouth.

"I wouldn't know, Asami." Korra couldn't help but blush as the dark haired girl's index finger ghosted over her bottom lip.

Asami dropped her hand to rest it on Korra's shoulder and pressed her face into her neck. "Well we should test that later huh?" She giggled against her skin.

Korra ignored the tingles that ran up her spine. "Wow." She breathed out a chuckle as she walked up the ramp into the ship.

Once they were in front of Asami's door she stopped and bent slightly to let her down. "Are you gonna be able to walk from here?" Korra asked with a grin she couldn't shake.

The taller girl had a smirk plastered her lips. "Mhmn."

They stood motionless. Korra could hear her heartbeat grow louder in her ears. Asami's eyes were challenging her, jumping back and forth until they landed on her mouth.

Asami pulled her forward by the jawline. Their lips connected as Korra used the momentum to press her against the closed door. The Avatar's hand fumbled for the doorknob as the roughness of their kiss increased. Asami pulled their bodies closer together as Korra found and twisted the handle. Both of them stumbled into the room as the door swung open.

"Korra," Asami panted between kisses, "door."

Without breaking away Korra flicked her wrist behind her back. A gust of wind slammed the door closed with a loud thud that echoed throughout the airship.

Asami curled her fingers into the Avatar's collar and dragged her backwards. They landed with a bounce on her bed. Korra positioned her legs in a straddle around the other girl's waist and pulled away for air. Asami had a strong blush running all the way down to her neck as she looked up at her.

"Red suits you, Miss Sato."
