One Night Stand

Part 1

Korra sat back in her chair and ran a hand through her loose hair. She was kicking herself for taking this advanced engineering class. She let her head fall on the textbook on her desk.

"You okay?" Bolin asked, leaning on the doorframe.

"Why did I take this stupid fucking class?" Korra groaned into her book.

Bolin chuckled and walked to his best friend's desk. "Because hot girls?"

Korra groaned and slammed her forehead on the book. Bolin was spot on with that one. During registration, Korra saw a tall, elegant, bombshell sign up for advanced engineering. So Korra signed up for it as well.

However, that plan had horrifically backfired. Not only did she almost never get to speak to her, but she had also ruined whatever average she had.

"Asami Sato is my undoing." Korra said glumly.

"Why don't you just talk to her?" Bolin grinned as he ruffled her hair.

Korra knocked his hand away. "I try when I can, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who took that class to get close to her. Not only is she unbelievably gorgeous, but she's some kind of engineering prodigy."

"Ask her if she wants to be study buddies?"

"She already has five in that class alone."

"I see…well, we can just invite her to our party!"

Korra's head snapped up. "Wait, what?"

"Yeah, we have Early Fire Nation culture together,' he grinned, "We sit next to each other."

"What?" Korra shot up, grabbing him by the shirt. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"You never asked."

Korra groaned and shoved him. "You asshole."

"Hey, don't be mean to me because you're too much of a wimp to ask her out." Bolin shrugged, "You could just date my brother. Again."

"Can we not?" Korra said with a look of disgust. "That relationship was a disaster. A complete and utter disaster."

"Yeah, I know."

"Besides, he's with Aya now." Korra shuddered. "He seems to think I care."

"You're just pissy he dumped you before you dumped him."

Korra shoved Bolin again. "Fuck off."

Bolin chuckled and pointed to her textbook. "You better get that paper done before the party tomorrow night or you'll be in here when the sexy Asami Sato is getting trashed."

She pouted and plopped down onto her desk chair.

Korra snuck into the classroom ten minutes late. The instructor had his back turned and was writing something on the board. Korra's eyes widened and she scanned the room for a vacant seat.

What she saw was none other than Asami Sato waving her over as she moved her bag off the seat next to her.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she eased into the seat, careful not to alert the instructor to her late arrival. She looked over to Asami who smiled at her brightly, emerald eyes capturing her own blue ones. Korra felt the blush rise up on her cheeks.

Asami leaned closer, and Korra's eyes fluttered shut when she smelled the slight hint of jasmine on Asami. She jumped when the older woman whispered to her, lips almost brushing her ear.

"Bolin texted me and said you overslept, he asked me to save you a seat."

"Th-thanks." Korra stuttered, blushing harder at the limited proximity between them. "Overslept my alarm."
