Roommates

Can we be friends

PROV KORRA

It's been about six days and I haven't returned to Republic city. I told Opal about the whole situation and how Asmai and I were having sex while she was still with Mako. Opal wasn't surprised at all. She actually told me that she kind of expected it. I really don't know why I just don't go back. I guess I'm still not ready or I'm just scared to be rejected. I decided to change my phone because I didn't want no messages nor any calls from Asami or Rin. I myself was actually really shocked when I found out Rin liked me.... I seriously thought she was just being nice but I guess I was wrong. I just hope she understands that I don't have feelings for her but I am more than willing to be just friends. I was trying to convince Opal to stay with me for a while in Republic city because to be honest I do miss my bed and all my stuff is back home. Ehhh why can't I just get over my fear and just go back home. I can just act cool and try not to show emotions right? Who am I kidding, I will be an emotional wreck. I sometimes just wonder what Asamis doing and if she's okay but I just need some space for right now. I just really didn't wanna do all this drama. It's not like we're in high school anymore. Why can't this just be easy you know? Why do I have to go and fall in love with a girl that already has a boyfriend and wants nothing to do with me... how pathetic am I? I suddenly hear a knock on the door.

Korra: come in

The door slowly opens

Kuvira: hey long time no see ....is it ok if we talk?

At this moment I felt like my heart was going to fall out of my ass. I went completely pale and I started getting really nervous. Shit why is she here? Why did she need to come into my room? who the fuck told her I was here?

Kuvira: sorry su told me you were here so I was hoping we could talk If that's okay with you

I guess we do need to talk and I need to get over the past to move on with my life right? I sigh and looked at her

Korra: sure what's up

Kuvira: I know it was completely wrong of me for what I did but I really did have feelings for you. I just want you to know that and I seriously didn't think I was going to fall for you. I mean from the beginning we were just messing around but it became more as the days went on. I really don't know where I'm going with this but I still want you in my life.... not in a romantic way of course but I do miss you I guess I was kind of hoping that we can at least be friends? If it's okay with you

I really didn't know what to say but I can't just stay quiet...

Korra: you know ever since you left I haven't been able to find anyone else.... I don't mean I haven't moved on from you I actually did, But I feel like I'm in the same situation.

Kuvira: what do you mean ?

Korra: i'm pretty sure you know I moved out

Kuvira: yeah the landlord told me

Korra: well I ended up moving in with this girl at my new apartment but ... I think I fell for... and a problem with that is we started doing stuff behind her boyfriends back you turns out was cheating on her anyway... this is also confusing and sometimes I feel like it's us all over again

Kuvira: wow I'm so sorry this Had to happen to you but have you tried talking to the girl about it ?

Korra: to be honest I kind of ran away that's why I'm here...

Kuvira: You run away from the girl you fell for ?

Korra: well yeah I was scared of rejection so I decided to come over here

Kuvira: and for how long have you been here?

Korra: um i'm guessing almost a week

Kuvira: What ?! Korra you need to go back and stop hiding away from her

Korra: I just can't ... I tried convincing Opal to stay with me but she doesn't want to

Kuvira: So you want someone to stay with you for a little?

Korra: yeah I was kind of hoping to find someone. I'm just not ready to face her alone

Kuvira: hmmm ok how about if I go with you? Just for a couple of nights ... but at some point you need to face her

Korra: you would really do that for me?

Kuvira: of course anything for an old friend. I'll even sleep on the couch.

Korra: you don't have to it's okay if you sleep on the bed as long as we put a Pillow in between

Kuvira: ok it sounds like a plan when do you want to leave

Korra: umm tonight if that's okay

Kuvira: of course let me just tell my husband I'm going to be gone for a while So he won't worry

Korra: yeah that's fine.

I can't believe talking with her felt so natural and so calm. I seriously thought it would've turned out different but I was wrong. She packed her bags and we both headed to the airport. I really didn't have much on me since I came without any luggage so it was pretty easy for me. Kuvira was nice enough to pay for my ticket and I was extremely grateful because I didn't have any money on me so this helped out ALOT. The flight was actually pretty short and did it take as long as I thought it would. I was starting to get nervous as we got closer to the apartment. My hands were shaking and I was getting all sweaty.

Kuvira: hey don't worry I'm here... do you need me to hold your hand ?

Korra: actually yeah if you don't mind

Kuvira: Of course I don't

Kuvira grabbed my hand and I suddenly felt a little bit more calm. I was just really grateful that she was here and we didn't need to have a fight at all. It was just a friend helping out the other. My breathing stops when I realize that we were right in front of the apartment door.

Kuvira: hey it's okay you got this. I'm here okay...

I took a deep breath and slowly open the door
