Kuvira brushed it off as morning allergies the first few times she heard Asami sneeze. It was the beginning of spring and, she knew her girlfriend's allergies tended to flare up around this time.

But as she poured two cups of coffee — usually three but, Korra was currently on avatar duties, she hears Asami sneeze again as she makes her way towards the kitchen. Her nose is red and, her eyes are puffy. She walks over to grab her coffee but, before she can pick it up, Kuvira slides it away from her.

"You're sick." It wasn't a question. They both knew it, though whenever Asami gets sick, she always tries to play it off. Much like now.

"No, I'm not. Now give me my coffee." Kuvira raises an eyebrow. "Hmm, cranky and impatient. You tend to get like that when you're sick." She says before reaching over to place a hand on Asami's forehead. And as she suspected: warm to the touch.

Asami rolls her eyes as she pushes her hand away. "Okay, I'm a little sick but, it's really not-" She's cut off by a sneeze.

"Go get back in bed. I'll call your assistant and let her know you'll be out for the next day or two," Kuvira says. Asami's eyes widen. "No, I have to finish up a project by this afternoon, go over and sign some new contracts, show off the new Sato Mobile and,-" Another sneeze. "And take a look at Bolin's car because he says it keeps making a weird clicking sound."

"I know all those things are important but, so are you. And right now, you're sick. I'm sure it can wait a few more days." Kuvira says.

"It can't! I promise I won't go in tomorrow but-" Sneeze. "But I have to go today." Kuvira stares at her for a few seconds before picking up her phone. "What are you doing?" Asami asks. Kuvira smirks. "Calling Korra."

Asami pouts. "Noooo, don't do that." But it's too late. The phone only rings twice before Korra appears on the screen. "Yes, love ?" And Kuvira's brain melts for a second because it always does when Korra calls her that. Focus Kuvira!

"Asami's sick and, she's trying to go to work."

"Snitch," Asami whispers before she moves closer so she's in the screen's view. The moment Korra's eyes land on her, she knows she's lost. "Aw, babe, you look terrible ." Asami huffs. "I have to go in today. I have so much-" Another sneeze. "Stuff to get done. And it won't get done if I'm here."

"See? She's being all snappy and, she keeps sneezing. Definitely sick." Kuvira says. Asami rolls her eyes. "Sami, remember that conversation we all had about how we would start to take better care of ourselves? Yeah, this includes that."

"But-"

"No buts!" They both say.

Asami huffs. "Fiiiine! But you have to make my favorite soup!" She says to Kuvira. Kuvira raises an eyebrow and tilts her head. "Please?" Asami whispers, poking her bottom lip out. And how can Kuvira say no when she looks like that.

Kuvira rolls her eyes and bends down to press her lips to Asami's forehead. She can hear Korra laughing because she knows exactly what it's like to fall victim to Asami's pout. "Okay, loves. I have to go. Asami behave. I love you both. "

"Love you too." They say in unison. Kuvira hangs up and, Asami tucks her head under her chin. "Do you want some tea with your soup?" She whispers. Asami nods. "Okay. Now, go and get back in bed. I'll be up in a few minutes."

Kuvira looks over at Asami as she's finishing the last of her soup. She covers the phone with her hand before asking, "Feel better?" Asami mouths the words "A little" and Kuvira nods. Kuvira stays on the phone for the next fifteen minutes and throws her girlfriend an apologetic look when she notices how restless she's getting.

"Okay, that sounds good. Please make sure everything is on my desk within the next two days. Thank you." She finally hangs up and, Asami huffs. "Finally." Kuvira chuckles as she makes her way to the bed.

"Sorry, princess. How can I make it up to you?" Asami smiles, stretching her arms out, and makes a grabby motion with her hands. "Cuddles?" Kuvira questions and Asami nods. Kuvira makes quick work of her shirt and pants before climbing into bed.

Asami wastes no time attaching herself. Wrapping her arms around Kuvira's waist, intertwining their legs, and burying her face in her neck. Kuvira laughs. "You're such a baby." Asami retaliates by biting at her neck. "No, I'm not." Kuvira slips her fingers into Asami's hair, smiling at the hum she hears when her nails scratch over a particular spot. "I beg to differ."

Asami doesn't respond. Just tries to bury herself further into the warmth of her girlfriend. Kuvira continues to run her fingers through Asami's raven locks and, she can feel her breaths start to slow.

"Vira?" Asami whispers.

"Hmm"

"I love you."

Kuvira smiles. A low "I love you too, 'Sami." leaves her lips before sleep takes them both.
