Time To Heal

chapter 33

Korra awoke earlier than usual the following day, though she didn’t try to get up in fear of waking Asami who was still sleeping, curled up beside of her.

Great…I have nothing to distract me and she just has to look perfect without even trying.

The avatar thought with a sigh, closing her eyes as if trying to go back to sleep even though she knew that sleep wouldn’t come.

Why did I have to fall in love with my best friend….This is gonna make things so weird and awkward!

Her thoughts practically screamed as she glanced over at the peaceful figure beside of her, her mind swirling with doubt as her eyes traced over her friend’s face, taking in everything about the makeup less face.

How do I even know that I feel that way about her?

Korra wondered, though her face grew flushed when the taller girl repositioned herself in her sleep so that her head was almost resting on Korra’s shoulder.

Damn...She’s beautiful.

The avatar mentally cursed herself for the notion as she looked away, her heart racing as the other girl’s lavender scented perfume engulfed her senses.

Come on Korra…You didn’t get this nervous with Mako!

The teen tried to tell herself, though the thought just caused her to want to snort in sarcasm.

No you just kissed him and stole him from the girl that you ended up with a crush on!

Glancing down at the Engineer once again she thought about what it would be like to kiss the raven haired industrialist.

She’ll never know if I’d kiss her now would she?

The southerner thought, blushing at the mere thought though curiosity soon got the best of her and in a careful, quick motion she leaned down and placed a chaste kiss against the sleeping figure’s lips before quickly pulling away and turning her back toward the industrialist.

What the fuck did I just do?

She wondered, her face turning red as she tried to calm her heartrate.

However then her breathing almost stopped when she felt movement from beside of her.

“Well that was some wakeup call.”

She wished that she could bend herself into the ground as she heard Asami’s voice, though the Heiress only chuckled and added

“Well that takes care of one problem I was having.”

The last part caught the avatar’s attention, causing her to turn over slightly.

“What?” She managed to croak out, only to earn a laugh.

“I actually have been trying to figure out how to ask you out since we got back from hunting air benders.” Asami admitted, causing Korra to sit up.

“What, why didn’t you say something? I wouldn’t have been wrecking my brain trying to come up with a way to tell you!” The universal bender asked, earning a laugh.

“Well to be honest I wasn’t sure that you would like another girl.” Asami responded, blushing lightly.

“Well I’ve always kinda saw men and women as the same.” Korra announced, rubbing the back of her neck as she adverted her gaze.

“We’re really not that different. Though I don’t kiss people while they are asleep!” Asami retorted, watching as her crush stammered to apologize though Korra could get an explanation out she cut the bronze skinned girl off with a quick kiss.

“I just wait until they are awake.” She teased as she pulled away, earning a flustered smile.
