"Korra?" The word faintly sunk into her consciousness.

"Korra!"

The Avatar sat up abruptly and glanced around, yanked forcefully out of her daydreams. The person who sliced through her thoughts, Tenzin, furrowed his eyebrows together and gave her a questioning look. She looked around, a half-glazed look being shaken from her frozen blue eyes, and saw that Tenzin wasn't the only one looking at her. Bolin, Opal, Asami, and Mako were also giving her similar stares. She felt a blush rise up on her cheeks, especially when her eyes came in contact with the person who had been a guest in her daydreams. Korra cleared her throat.

"Yes, um, of course. I agree with what you said. Which… Can you remind me what it was, again?"

Korra scratched the back of her head sheepishly. She didn't hear a word he was saying, having been so caught up in her thoughts of her female friend. However, she knew he was asking for her opinion on something. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Asami smiled and giggled lightly, knowing that the water tribe girl hadn't heard a word Tenzin said. Upon hearing that magnificent sound, Korra's heart started racing in her chest. Tenzin, however wasn't as amused and he narrowed his eyes before speaking again.

"I was talking about the spirit portal being opened and I wanted to see if you agreed that the spirits would have a positive effect on the people of the United Republic," Tenzin paused and sighed, before continuing. "You know what, it has been a long day for all of us and calling everyone in for a meeting probably wasn't the best decision on my part. Let's consider this meeting adjourned for now."

When he finished his last sentence, everyone but Korra popped out of their seats, excitedly. They all sighed in relief that the meeting was finally over. They had been at it for about 2 hours now. Asami was the only one to notice Korra hadn't shot out of her seat. It was unlike her not to be ecstatic that she was done with another one of his meetings. Asami walked over to her as the two brothers and Opal started talking about something excitedly and walking out of the room. She placed her hand on Korra's broad shoulder.

Korra was startled by the touch, though she tried not to show it externally. She raised her eyes up to meet Asami's and felt the blood rush to her cheeks yet again. She got lost in her thoughts almost immediately after Tenzin started talking again. His voice could be so monotone sometimes when he was having these meetings with them. It was the perfect platform to let her mind drift off. She was pondering why her female friend was invading her thoughts as of lately. When Tenzin had so rudely interrupted her thoughts originally, she was picturing Asami in a red formal dress, the silk material clinging to her curvaceous shape. The second time she was trying to analyze why that lovely but uninvited image popped up into her mind.

"Hey, is everything alright?"

Asami looked at her with a worried expression on her face, her eyebrows furrowed together, then she raised one of them and tugged the side of her lip into her mouth. Korra stood up from her chair, causing Asami to drop her hand from her shoulder. The Avatar nodded and gave a bit of a forced smile. The truth was, her mind was in turmoil. She didn't know why Asami was invading her thoughts. When she thought about it, she hit some sort of wall and couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Yeah, just had a lot of things on my mind, honestly."

With that, Korra turned around and started walking away. Asami followed behind her closely. As Korra walked away, Asami couldn't help but admire her muscular figure. Her back muscles were beautiful arranged and even though her water tribe pants were pretty baggy, she glanced down at the rear of the Avatar. She blushed when she realized where she was looking and quickly brought her eyes back up. She had to be careful. Someone could see her checking out the muscular Avatar and her desires might become apparent.

The truth is, ever since she started writing unrequited letters to Korra, her feelings for the dark skinned water tribe girl came to the surface. When she saw the Avatar in person after all that time apart, her feelings became solidified. She still can remember the day in detail, seeing Korra with her new short haircut that made her chestnut hair hug her face. Her blue eyes that shone like moon reflecting brightly off a clear body of water. Her body that she had never paid that much attention to before, but seemed to have newfound muscles in all the right places. But something was wrong. Everything had been fine after they had reunited until a few days ago.

Korra had started putting space between her and Asami. The taller girl was pretty positive that the rest of Team Avatar hadn't noticed. Maybe it was even her imagination, but she was sure there was something in the way she would avoid meeting her green eyes. There was definitely something in the way she almost refused to talk to her directly, except in short impersonal sentences. Asami wondered if she should confront her about it. She glanced up from the floor she had fixed her eyes on while walking to the back of Korra's head, where her hair bounced about. As they turned a corner in the Air Temple, Asami gathered all the courage she had in her body and reached forward to grab Korra's hand. She grabbed it a little bit more eagerly than she meant to and the force caused Korra to stop walking.

Upon feeling the warm fingers wrap around her hand, Korra's heart starting speeding up at an unprecedented speed as her feet just refused to keep moving. She turned around and slowly met the gaze of brilliant emerald eyes which looked down at her. She about yelped in surprise when she felt Asami quickly pull her into a nearby empty room. A bright red blush crept over her entire body as her mind immediately became filled with inappropriate thoughts at being alone in a room with her female friend.

Asami had pulled her in a room to confront her with what was going on with her and the other girl. After seeing the blush spread across the caramel skin in front of her, Asami realized she was still holding onto Korra's hand and quickly released it, averting her eyes. She felt bad for holding her hand for so long and making the Avatar feel uncomfortable, the other girl had even turned red. She quickly lost what she had planned in her head to say to Korra. She raised her eyes to look back into those beautiful blue pools which happened to be locked on her face. She stood like that for a while, her face tinting a light shade of red, before she could remember what she even wanted to say.

"Korra…" Asami started softly. Korra felt her heart speed up again at the intimacy of the situation. Their locked gazes, Asami being less than a foot from her, and the fair skinned female's angelic voice saying her name. "What's going on? Did I do something to upset you? I feel like you've done everything possible to avoid me these past few days… If I did something, I need you to tell me." Asami tried to keep the sadness out of her voice, but after she spoke she let out a sigh. Korra's blue eyes widened and her eyebrows rose, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"You think I'm upset with you?" Korra questioned with an incredulous chuckle in her voice. Asami scanned the other girl's face. She hadn't been expecting that reaction in the least bit. She put her hands on hips out of instinct and narrowed her eyebrows at the shorter girl.

"Well, yes. What else am I supposed to think with the way you've been acting around me? You don't treat Mako or Bolin like that," Asami said with an accusing tone in her voice.

Korra's face sunk into a more serious expression realizing that the laugh in her voice might've come off wrong. It had never occurred to her what she had seemed like from an outside perspective the past few days. She had been so wrapped up in her own thoughts lately. Every time she got around Asami, she felt so much shame and guilt for thinking about her friend in a way that females shouldn't think about each other that she had been avoiding her. Korra held up her hands in front of her palms facing Asami and an apologetic expression appeared on her face.

"I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I'm sorry..." Korra trailed off, wondering how she was going to explain to her what was going on with her. Her eyes flickered to the floor for a moment as she gathered her thoughts. She wondered if she should just be honest with her beautiful friend.

Asami's accusing expression eased off. Her eyebrows sank back into their normal place and her face softened as she patiently waited to hear the Avatar's excuse for why she was pushing her away. Korra closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out. When she opened them again she spoke, meeting Asami's bright green eyes.

"Okay well the truth is…" Korra began.
