Korra was at her wits end as she paced across her room, glad that this had waited until after breakfast.
“Asami, I’m not going to argue with you." she sighed, running her hands through her hair in frustration as she turned from the window only to see the glare sent her way.
“Good because I am going to the earth kingdom with you. I need to know that you’re okay.” The heiress replied, earning a huff.
“Fine but as soon as the poison’s out, you get back to Republic City. I don’t want you to regret anything because of me.” Korra relented, the concern coming into her voice as she recalled how upset that her girlfriend had been the previous night.
Sitting beside the other girl Korra interlaced their fingers together, rubbing her thumb over Asami’s knuckles.
“Promise me you’ll be careful.” Asami whispered, earning a grin.
“I’ll be fine. I’ll help calm things down then I’ll come back.” The Avatar assured warmly before sighing and adding
“Plus my cousins will be hanging around…I’ll be alright. I’m sure Eska would use any excuse to turn someone into a human ice sickle.”
Asami chuckled at that and leaned her head against Korra’s shoulder, closing her eyes as she tried to squash her fears.
“I just don’t want to lose anyone else. Now with Dad sick and my Mom gone I can’t stand the thought of losing anyone else.” She whispered, only to feel arms wrap around her.
“You’re not going to lose me ‘Sami. You just need to be close to your dad right now, you have a life outside of me…I’ll be fine. Just take care of yourself okay?” Korra responded kindly.
“You sound like you want me to leave.” The heiress joked weakly, earning a small chuckle.
“You’re crazy.” Korra growled gently kissing her girlfriend’s neck, earning a yelp as the ceo jerked away.
Blinking the Avatar wondered if maybe she had done something wrong until she saw the shudder
“Don’t ever do that again! You might get hurt!” Asami stated, grinning slightly with a blush.
Korra chuckled, suddenly realizing why her girlfriend had jumped.
“You’re ticklish?” she guessed, smirking as she reached over and pulled the taller woman close before kissing her gently before adding
“Sorry. But at least your smile is back.”
Asami lightly whacked the avatar’s shoulder, glowering lightly through a pout though she grinned after a few minutes before kissing her on the lips before pressing their heads together.
“Come on…Let’s go tell Mom our plans. The sooner I get this shit out of my system the sooner I can set things right and return to republic city.” Korra stated after a while of just sitting in silent comfort.
Asami smiled gently at that and nodded before asking
“How do you think she’ll take it?” the heiress asked earning a laugh
“If she didn’t kill me when I almost burnt down the house when I was twelve she won’t now...at least not over this.” Korra replied, grinning as she took her girlfriend’s hand leading her toward the door.
