Happy end of finals! I'm going to have a lot more time to write for the next few weeks, so hopefully I can crank out a few more. Let me know if you have any prompts you'd like to read and feedback is always appreciated. Enjoy guys!

Warmth

Asami Sato stepped out of her car and wrapped her scarf tighter around her chin. A cold rush of air whipped at her cheeks and blew back her dark hair. Shivering, she shut the door and curled the fingers that throbbed from the contact of the cold metal.

Republic City barely saw autumn before it started snowing this year. The engineer swore that the leaves changed within only two weeks. Which, in her opinion, was not enough time to prepare for the cold.

She shoved her hands into her pockets and trudged toward her estate through the snow. It wasn't that Asami didn't like cool weather, it was the getting frostbite part that she wasn't fond of. Otherwise she loved winter. She loved the sparkle of fluffy snow, the way ice would coat bare tree limbs, and the freshness in the air. But mostly she loved being cozy indoors. So Asami was grateful to be home after a long business meeting with Varrick. That man could talk for hours.

Once Asami was inside she headed to her room. Along the way she noticed a chill in the air and the cool temperature of her door's metal handle. She gave it a twist and walked inside.

Korra was still in bed. She laid on her stomach, head turned away, with the covers draped over her bare, lower back.

The engineer smiled, reveling in their simple routine: wake up at dawn, fight her girlfriend's attempts to keep her under the covers-and the urge to stay there, commute to her company, work for a few hours, then return home to crawl back in bed where she could usually find Korra, unmoved.

Shoulder muscles rolled as she shifted to turn her head. "How was the meeting?" Korra asked in a gravel voice, her chin pressed into her pillow.

"It was okay," Asami spoke as she slipped off her coat. "Varrick just goes on and on sometimes, and then insists on talking to me in the ten degree wind for fifteen minutes afterwards."

Korra chuckled, "Sounds like my kinda weather."

"No kidding. How can you not be freezing right now?" Asami kicked off her shoes and walked to the bed. "It's like sixty degrees in here and you're laying around naked."

"I did grow up in the Southern Water Tribe."

The engineer lifted the covers and laid next to her girlfriend. "Well I'm an ice cube." She pressed the back of three fingers into Korra's cheek.

"Quit it," the Avatar giggled and wrapped her hand around the other girl's. "Man, you are an ice cube."

"Told ya."

Korra grinned for a moment, sapphire irises twinkling, "Hold on."

Asami felt a few fingers curl under the hem of her shirt. "How is taking my clothes off supposed to keep me warm?" She giggled and let the fabric go over her head.

"Shush." Korra continued to peel off her girlfriend's clothes until there was nothing left. Afterward she pulled Asami into her so that their stomachs were flush and tangled their legs together.

Asami buried her face into the base of Korra's neck. The warmth that radiated off her tan skin dulled the sting on her cold nose.

"Better?"

Asami exhaled deeply, "Much." The engineer kissed at Korra's neck. She thankful for their routine, no matter how simple, because it made up her favorite part of the day: warmth and comfort while the sky turned white outside. They were safe and happy and all skin and warm.
