Time To Heal

Chapter 52

Korra laughed softly as she felt the blankets leave her yet again though she easily snatched them back, though she wrapped her arms around the taller girl.
"You jerk." Asami muttered lightheartedly, her own arms wrapping around her girlfriend who nestled closer in response.
"I'm a jerk? For not wanting to catch a cold?" the avatar teased, her lips lightly touching the Ceo's jawline as she spoke.
Asami jabbed the avatar lightly in response, resting her head against the shorter girl's hair.
The bender laughed softly at that, closing her eyes as she let her senses be overtook by the faint trace of Jasmine and Lavender that clung to her girlfriend's clothing and hair.
Asami awoke to find Korra still sleeping next to her, one hand holding her own even in sleep. The act making the young entrepreneur smile as she propped herself up on one arm, eyes tracing over the peaceful features of the sleeping Avatar's face.
Recalling how surprised she had been when the blue eyed girl had kissed her, how surprisingly soft her lips had been and how nervous she had acted when she found that the heiress had not been asleep after all.
I wonder if Raava had known of Korra's feelings. If that was the reason she gave me that connection.
Asami wondered, gingerly running her hand through the southerner's hair.
Suddenly blue eyes fluttered open, a small smile decorating her face as she turned to face the raven haired heiress.
"Hey, good morning." She stated, her voice still thick from sleep as she squeezed the other girl's hand gently.
"Morning." Asami replied, blushing slightly at being caught staring. However the water tribe native only grinned and kissed her cheek.
"What is up with you and my hair? Ever since I cut it you've been fiddling with it." She asked after a while, the light in her eyes showing that she was teasing.
Korra couldn't stop her heart from fluttering when she saw Asami blush once again.
"You know you're cute when you get flustered." The avatar added after a while, kissing the other girl briefly.

"It's surprisingly soft." Asami admitted, earning a bemused look that soon broke into a smile.
"What? You think it should feel like knotgrass or something?" the avatar laughed before continuing "though I think yours is still softer than mine....I wash and go....You have a whole routine!"
Asami laughed again before retorting "It wouldn't hurt for everyone to have a routine."
Korra just snorted and rolled her eyes
"No thanks. I tried to put powders on once and only managed to make a cloud and give myself a coughing fit." She admitted, earning a giggle.
"When did you try makeup?" Asami questioned, earning a sheepish grin.
"Well at your place when you and Bolin invited me over." Korra admitted, only to make her girlfriend laugh harder.
The avatar pouted slightly before playfully poking the taller girl in the side, earning a small squeak in response.
"Korra stop!" Asami stated, earning a mischievous smirk from the avatar.
"Why should I?" she questioned, continuing the playful onslaught until the engineer finally shoved her away and whacked her with one of the pillows.
"You're lucky you're cute." Asami scolded lightheartedly, mock anger coming over her face as she turned from the blue eyed girl.
Korra only laughed and put her arms around Asami, resting her chin against her shoulder as she retorted
"I'm lucky because I have you." The bronze skinned teen murmured just as a knock came at the door, alerting them that breakfast was ready.
Both girls dissolved into giggles then and pulled away, sharing a look.
"Actually I'm lucky to have such as sweet girlfriend as you." Asami corrected lightly.
