Cosmic Ice

Astronomically Awkward

"Ugh..." Korra inhaled a sharp breath fighting the urge to sleep since she was in the tub. It was around five Pm and she'd been home for five hours just re watching the star wars prequels over and over on her laptop to avoid falling asleep. She didn't want to sleep because she still had stuff to do such as take Naga for a walk before sun down, do a few hours worth of workouts for that stupid hockey game coach Beifong has been working everyone to the bone for, and other essentials including Naga and waiting for a package.

She had been telling herself every re watch she'd get to work after the movie but had been in too much pain to move. Her exhales coming out in whistle like whines and inhales coming in as short lived hitches, going to the hospital was too much of a hassle. Plus in her mind it'd wear off soon, her nose was definitely not broken the tissue inside just hit the bone upon impact causing an internal leading external cut that she'd stopped with a shit tone of tissue paper. 

The real kicker was her shoulder but she'd just taken some Ibuprofen to ease the pain how ever possible along with minimal movement and distractions. Warm water helped somewhat with numbing the feeling of her shoulder throbbing.

*Obi-Wan's search leads to Kamino, an ocean planet. There he discovers a clone army is being produced for the Republic under the name of Sifo-Dyas, a deceased Jedi Master. The bounty hunter Jango Fett  serves as their template-*

"Ouch.." she groaned when she accidentally moved her shoulder causing an aching sensation to immediately start again after it took her forty three minutes to calm down. This was really annoying for her mostly because she could've easily bodied Iroh but she didn't want to hurt him due to Asami.
Because Asami some how liked the idiot Korra was being nice and using her words, but now look where it got her. In unnecessary pain.

"I do not...have the time for this" Korra mumbled deciding to stop procrastinating and just get shit done since it was gonna hurt either way. Suddenly her phone started ringing from the same side table the laptop was on, she sighed and used her left hand to reach for it so it wouldn't strain the shoulder muscle on her hurt one.

She picked up, "Mhmm?" "<Finally, I've been trying to call you for lik->" 
"What do you-- fuck...want?" "<Can we facetime? It feels weird not seeing someone's face when talking to them>" Asami asked from the other side of the line. "No" "<Please?>" "No"
Asami scoffed, "<Well I want to, so accept switch>" "No, I don-" Korra hitched "don't want to"
 "<Are you okay?>"

"No" "<Did you get checked up?>" "No"

"<Stop fucking saying no damnit. Why didn't you go to the hospital?>" Asami questioned in frustration of the dry responses from Korra. "I don't...just shh" Korra sighed slightly wheezing.
"<Don't tell me to shush, you sound like you're in pain. Can you please go to the hospital>"
"I'm fine" "<Accept switch so I can see for myself>" "Can't" "<Why?>"

"Don't want to" "<Where are your parents?>"
"Sato I can't- I can't... breathe. Stop" she hitched "One word" "<That's..you're scaring me, are your parents home?>"
"No"

"<Okay, I'm gonna come over>"

"Don't"

"<That wasn't a question>"

"Seriously, don't"

"<I'll be over in twenty minutes>"

"Asa-" The line cut before Korra could make any further protests for an unnecessary arrival. I mean she had already decided to stop procrastinating but now she had to do that even faster, quite annoying. "Ugh" Korra groaned loudly in frustration by the situation.

The door bell rang and Naga zoomed down the stairs to start barking and scratching the door.
*Ruff!* *Ruff!* she barked to inform someone was at the door as if her owner hadn't heard. "Naga...shh" A sleep deprived Korra whined walking down the stairs careful to not accidentally bump or move her right shoulder.

She opened the door fighting heavy eyes to be greeted by the expected guest. "Doctor" Korra greeted in sass earning a huff from Asami, "Patient" she retorted. The Sato walked inside and Naga jumped on her smothering her in ticklish licks, "Aw...Hi baby" Asami greeted the big fluffy exotic dog in a puppy voice attempting to cover her mouth from the licks.
"Sorry, heel" Korra ordered and the dog backed off still wagging her large tail energetically. "Good girl" she rewarded in words since she couldn't pet her right now.

Asami puffed a breath brushing off her clothes, "Okay so, I got stuff to help and stuff to heal" she informed lifting up a mid sized pharmaceutical bag. Korra nodded ever so slightly, "I thought you were just bringing-" she winced slightly moving her shoulder, "Cool shit to distract me" she added. Asami raised a brow "And how would that have helped you?" she questioned receiving a half shrug. "I'm trying to think of some quote about distractions for a point, but they're all showing it them in a negative light" Korra sighed walking over to the couch.

"For a reason smartass"

"Actually I'm a hurt-ass right now, mean-ass"

Asami scoffed, "No, I'm an apologetic-ass who's actively trying to help you" she retorted. Korra hummed, "could've said sorry-ass" she smirked. "The way the term is used would've been self deprecating, you know that" the Sato scowled placing the bag on the coffee table. "Yeah I do, Anyways- ugh" she groaned "What's the stuff that'll put me to sleep?" Korra asked.

"Elaborate" Asami said taking out the stuff from said bag. "What will put me to sleep?" Korra said in a more enunciating tone like the words weren't clear enough causing Asami to narrow her eyes mildly, "Put you to sleep, in what senses?". "Euthanize me" the hockey player clarified.

Asami laughed finding it funny, "No I'm not gonna kill you-- yet at least" she retorted and Korra rolled her eyes, "I'm taking that as a threat Sato. And you're not doing the killing, you're just giving me the shit that does". Asami gestured her palm in confusion, "I'm not assisting in a self-homicide either" she looked up from the bag and at Korra with narrowed eyes, "Should I be concerned?"
