Korra awoke drenched in sweat and surrounded by blankets, groaning slightly she detangled herself from the covers and moved to lay on top of them; although she was careful not to wake Asami who was still sleeping soundly.
Turning to face the form of her sleeping girlfriend she couldn’t help but smile. The events of the past few days playing over in her mind as she put an arm over the taller figure.
Her mind fell back to how she had eventually brought up being a couple with the ceo.
She had stammered out the question in middle of a conversation, earning a laugh from her now girlfriend who had agreed.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Asami curling closer against her, whimpering lightly.
“Are you okay?” Korra asked, tightening her hold on the engineer who sighed.
“Yeah….Did I wake you?” Asami asked, looking up.
Korra just shook her head “Nope, I woke up in a ball of sweat because I’d gotten caught in your web of blankets.” She answered, hoping that her teasing would lighten the mood.
Asami laughed and rested her head against the avatar’s chest.
“Sorry...I didn’t mean to bake you.” She retorted jokingly, kissing the darker skinned girl’s cheek.
Korra laughed and rolled her eyes.
“I’ll forgive you….this time.” She retorted, feeling relief as she noticed how relaxed that Asami was.
Thank spirits that she’s not upset. I don’t want her to go through the same crap I did.
“This time?” Asami challenged lightly, earning a look.
“Next time I might get mad.” Korra retorted, trying to look serious though she failed completely.
Asami only chuckled at that and scoffed.
“sure.” She retorted, earning a look before Korra just grinned as she flipped onto her back and closed her eyes.
“You’re the one person that I can’t seem to get mad at.” The avatar admitted, putting an arm behind her head as she pulled her girlfriend closer.
