Electricity pulsed through her, immobilizing her as she looked into the familiar but enraged gaze.
Korra awoke, glancing around though to her surprise a pair of arms wrapped around her shoulders.
“Are you okay?” Asami’s voice asked soothingly causing a shudder to come from the avatar.
“Yeah…Bad dream.” Korra answered, rubbing a hand over her face as she was reminded of the hateful glare.
“Want to talk about it?” the engineer’s careful question caused Korra to sigh loudly.
“No because I know that dream will never happen.” She answered, shaking out of the light embrace before laying down, pulling Asami down with her.
“how about we go back to sleep…I’m going to see if Katara won’t let me try to stand tomorrow and I think I’ll need your help.” She added, feeling Asami relax as the distance between them closed.
“Do you think you’re ready?” the raven haired girl questioned worriedly, earning a sigh.
“’Sami, I need to at least try. The worse thing that can happen is that I’ll fall flat on my ass.” The avatar’s voice held a light tone as she rolled over to face Asami before adding “I know you’ll not let me get too badly hurt or push myself too far, which is why I need you there.”
Asami’s heart fluttered as she heard that the other girl actually needed her, the fact almost surprising her since she had always felt incapable in comparison to Mako and Bolin.
“If you’re sure.” The engineer managed to stammer out lamely though this only earned a chuckle.
“what? Did I embarrass the elegant rich girl?” korra retorted, her voice playfully taunting—a sound that Asami had missed—as a grin spread over her face.
“I’ll elegant, rich girl you in a minute Avatar.” Asami retorted, lightly hitting the shorter girl in the face with a pillow.
Korra only laughed at this and threw it back at Asami, who caught it with no effort.
“lets just focus on sleep right now miss Ceo. ” the bronze skinned teen stated, putting an arm around Asami.
“I hope this isn’t too weird….I just….” She began only to be cut off.
“you cuddle in your sleep…I’ve noticed.” Asami retorted, watching her friends face turn red in the dim moonlight so she backtracked slightly
“don’t worry I do the same thing.”
