Glancing over at Asami’s sleeping figure Korra sighed and slowly pushed herself toward the edge of the bed where Naga was laying.
“Hey girl…Do you want to help me?” she whispered, making sure her tone was too low to wake Asami.
The polar bear dog only huffed and sat up, tilting her head slightly to the side as if she was confused.
“I can’t wait for Katara to give the Okay girl…I may not be able to walk right now but I can help build the muscles back.” Korra muttered, reaching a hand out and resting it on the creature’s muzzle before slowly sliding off the bed.
Her legs shook badly beneath her as she stood there, leaning heavily on her animal guide before inhaling and pushing away, standing on her own.
Her legs still felt heavy, as if her bones where lead though she assumed that this was just from being unable to walk for such a long time and the fire of straining sinew and muscle consumed most of her mind.
Korra only gritted her teeth and leaned against Naga once more, closing her eyes tightly as she mentally cursed herself.
“Korra! What…”
Asami’s voice startled her out of her thoughts, causing her to look up to see her friend’s wide jade eyes locked onto her.
“I wanted to see how long I could stand…if I could do it without someone holding onto me.” Korra replied, earning a sigh from the Ceo who gave her a pointed look.
“You are so reckless.” Asami chided as Korra sat back down onto the bed, her eyes suddenly dim with pent back emotion.
“Yeah well I can’t always have you looking after me.” The avatar replied with a sigh before turning toward the raven haired girl before adding
”s words sent a pang through her heart. However before Asami could speak the smaller built girl pulled her into a hug.
The action surprised the engineer, although it didn’t take very long for her to relax.
“I’m sorry…Look….I’ll stop being so doom and gloom. I know hearing this bothers you.” Korra stated after a few minutes, suddenly looking sheepish.
“You can be whatever you want around me Korra.” Asami assured, only to earn a chuckle.
“I’ll remember that….Thanks Asami.” The avatar retorted before closing her eyes.
The avatar awoke to a spasm in her upper thigh, though she bit her lip to keep from waking up Asami who was sleeping peacefully beside of her.
Groaning inwardly the universal bender used a small amount of fire bending to heat the cramping area before quickly summoning water from a vase nearby and using it to completely relax the tight muscle.
Sighing the teen leaned back and banished the water back into the glass before nervously glancing over at Asami who was still sleeping soundly.
Why does she wear so much makeup? She’s beautiful anyway.She thought, mentally scolding herself soon after.
Shut up Korra….There’s no way that she would ever feel that way toward you….not in a million years!
Pinching the brim of her nose the young avatar sighed before looking back toward the Ceo, her eyes tracing the perfect form of the heiress’s full lips and smooth skin. Both which was usually covered in layers of makeup but was now bare.
Spirits…What am I doing?
Korra thought angrily, quickly turning her back toward the sleeping figure before even weirder thoughts took over.
The avatar however couldn’t seem to fall back asleep, despite it only being eight in the morning— a time when she was usually still asleep—so with a groan she slowly sat up, grabbing a notepad off of her bedside table before beginning to write replies to Mako and Bolin
