AN: Probably
We walked out of the meeting room and I led her to a tiny cafe. For the first part of the afternoon we pretended nothing was wrong, laughing, joking around, just spending time together. It was sort of a test. Not for her, for me. I wanted to see if I still loved her. Of course I did, you couldn't stop falling in love with Asami. It defied the laws of nature.
Finally we walked on a little bridge in avatar Korra park. The moon was just rising over the water. She slung her arms over the bridge, and I put a hand on her back.
"Alright Asami. Talk to me."
"Here it comes." she mumbled. Moving away from my hand.
"We couldn't just ignore it forever could we? You know I like to face my problems head on." I said with a forced little smile.
"Listen, Korra-"
"No, let me talk. I love you, I still do. I think our marriage can still work. I'd be willing to try to make sure it does. But if you honestly love Mako, enough to make you leave, I would..." I sighed. "I would let you go."
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"My turn." I smiled a little bit through my tears.
"When I married you, no when I first stepped into the portal, I thought it was going to be an adventure. Ever since I met you thats all we had been having. So when we went through the spirit portal and it was a vacation, I was disappointed. I loved you Korra but we slipped into a routine. the world was slightly in balance, and there seemed to be nothing to spike my life. My father kept me alone, isolated like you for so long. Finally I was free, to be who I was. To be with you!" She paused. "Then suddenly I wasn't. I craved adventure since the beginning, because I never had any. Its like drugs, addictive and unhealthy, but fulfilling." She smiled a bit. "Then you brought Hiroshi home. He had the adventure I craved. But even that eventually stopped giving me the 'high' I needed. one night, I slipped out. I got myself rip roaring drunk, and flirted with some random police man. It wasn't mako. if my word still means anything to you, let me give you my word that it wasn't him. A lot of law men have that haircut, it's military grade. It happened once, I've regretted it ever since." she finally stopped looking at me.
" 'Sami you should have told me, do you know how may missions I passed up because they were to 'dangerous'?" She sighed. "So what are we going to do?"
"I could sleep at the beach house for a bit, of you wanted to stay with Hiroshi."
I shook my head. "That's stupid, we can't have him live with one of us and not the other."
"What are we going to do then?"
"I'll sleep at the beach house, then bring him to school on my way to the police station. I'll pick him up to, and we can have dinner I guess?" I suggested. Neither of us wanted to say it but we both were uncomfortable with the idea of sleeping together again.
"And I guess couples therapy?"
"Bleck. Okay. Yeah." I said rubbing eyes. "Couples therapy. Man even the words suck."
She giggled a bit.
"Yeah."
-----------
We walked home in silence. We quietly explained the situation to Hiroshi, who took it on stride. He's so brave. He of course forgave both of us.
Me and 'Sami eventually got our marriage back together, Hiroshi went to go study in the fire nation, and became the personal body guard of the fire lord! Things sorta worked out in the end. I had metamorphosed into a more loyal version of myself. Leaving Asami, then regretting it was what changed me. Bad decisions may shape you, but you can't let them own you.
AN: It's been fun guys.
