Korrasami Jamboree

Endless Dream

Korra heard numerous voices talk about her but that was all. It was like her entire body had been quite unable to move, she couldn't even bring herself to open her eyes. This was until she continued to dream again. There were times when she would hear silent sobbing beside her and silent whispers of "I love you" to her ears. Korra knew who exactly whispered. She was desperate to answer but once again, her body refused to awaken from its slumber.

How long will this endless dream continue? Korra wanted it to end. She wanted to respond to the person crying beside her.

It was as if life decided to play a joke on Korra. Korra wanted to move so badly, to hold and comfort the person beside her. Yet, she couldn't move an inch. Her body suddenly became her prison.

Asami would visit Korra whenever she could possibly make time for it. Ever since Korra had been injured in the line of duty in the Earth Federation, she had been distressed. As much as being the CEO of Future Industries called her attention, she just couldn't quite focus ever since Korra was transferred to Air Temple Island in Republic City. Though she had been told by the healers that she was out of the critical state, it hurt just to look at her wife. It looked like Korra had been sleeping peacefully. Some days she would just hold her hand and weep beside her. Asami hated being this helpless.

"Everyone's waiting for you, sweetie. They miss you. I miss you." Asami whispered.

Somehow, she hoped her words would awaken the Avatar. She hoped her words reached her somehow. Asami hoped, more than anything, to see those bright blue eyes that would only be for her.

It has been over two months since Korra returned in a coma like this. Katara had told Asami over the radio that she will wake up, she may be asleep for some time but she will wake up.

Asami continued to believe. Believing that her Korra would return to her.

Korra didn't know how long she had been in this dream. She regained hope when she could finally feel her eyes react to a soft light beside her. Trying to regain her motor functions first, she tried to squeeze her right hand which she knew someone had to be holding.

Asami immediately woke up. She could feel Korra's hand squeeze hers, she tried to make sure she wasn't just imagining things. The CEO looked down at Korra's hand.

Continuing to increase the strength of her grip, Korra move on to opening her eyes slowly. A smile slowly formed on her lips when she saw her beloved, lying beside her staring at Korra's hand. Slowly, she brought herself to speak, "My eyes… right here…"

Asami was in complete happiness and surprise. "Korra… Korra… Korra…" She kept on repeating this as if the person beside her would disappear, and proceeded to embrace the bender tightly.

"I'm sorry. There were a lot of bandits like last time. I think Raava helped me when some guy knocked me out." Korra explained, her words coming out slowly.

"I don't care about them. How are you feeling? Can you move?" Asami asked.

"I'm all right now." Korra's voice came out hoarse now.

Asami immediately got up and gave Korra some water. "Here, drink some."

After Korra proceeded to drink some of it she immediately turned to her beloved, "How long was I asleep? I could hear voices… but I couldn't bring my body to move."

"Two months, sweetie." Asami said, kissing Korra's temple.

"That was a long time to just hear your voice whispering to me. I wanted to move, to hold you… but it was like my body refused to move." Korra said, gently caressing Asami's face.

Korra could slowly move her entire body again. It was like the restraints have been removed from her. She then proceeded to embrace Asami, who had begun to cry once again.

"I'm here now, sweetie. I'm sorry for worrying you. It broke my heart to hear you weep and whisper to me. I…" Korra trailed of, unsure of what else to say. So she let her instinct handle her and kissed Asami passionately. "I'll try to be more careful next time."

"You had better. I didn't know what to do when they brought you in like that. It was like you were dead and I only had your breaths convincing me you weren't." Asami said, clearly still distressed.

"It's a good thing I'll take a while to get my strength back. Will you go out on a date with me until I recover?" Korra replied, now smiling at Asami.

"Whatever you want, sweetie. Oh and… the villagers you saved in the Earth Federation had sent you flowers in appreciation for your efforts to save them. I kept them on a vase so you would could see them when you woke." Asami said, pulling Korra closer to her.

"They shouldn't have… but I appreciate the gesture." Korra said. "I have other things to appreciate while I recuperate a little more. It'll take a while to bounce back… but I had other things in mind besides bouncing back." Korra replied, kissing Asami once again.

Asami wholeheartedly reciprocated the kiss. "Sometimes I wish you weren't the Avatar." She said breathlessly.

"I would never have met you then." Korra replied. "I would be the Avatar a thousand times just to see you again."

"If you put it that way…" Asami said, finally being able to smile fully. "You're my Korra anyway."

"And you're my Asami." Korra beamed.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
