The New Kid (A Korrasami Fanfic Modern AU)

Chapter 9

Let me know what cha think :)

"You want anything??", Asami asked, walking into the room, Korra right behind her.

The two put their bags down.

"I'm good", Korra said.

She walked over to the large black leather sofa. She slowly sat down. Asami looked at her. Korra seemed a bit uneasy.

"There's no need to be nervous", she said.

Korra looked up at her. Asami walked over to the couch and sat down. She looked at the shorter teen.

"It's just me".

Korra smiled. "I know. Sorry. Just a little edgey lately. I wonder why".

Korra fiddled with her sleeve, looking around the room. Asami, being as observant as always, noticed.

"Hey Korra??", she said

Korra looked up at her.

"Why do you fiddle with your sleeve all the time??".

Korra looked down at her hands then back up.

"Oh uh, it's a habit".

Korra laughed. "I actually started it because of my dad. He always did it when I was younger. I started doing it. I guess he broke the habit because he doesn't do it anymore. He has other ways of uh....".

Korra looked like she was thinking of a way to say what she wanted to say.

"He has other habits".

Korra shrugged and grinned.

"I do it when I'm nervous. Sometimes I do it without noticing. My dad has other methods of letting his nerves show, I guess you can say".

Korra scrubbed the end of the sleeve in her hand.

"That probably didn't make sense, right??".

Asami giggled. "I think it made perfect sense. Plus, that's normal. Everyone has their quirks and habits and flaws-".

She stopped herself. Her eyes widened.

"Not that it's a flaw that you fiddle with your sleeve. That's not a flaw at all".

Korra smiled. Asami rubbed her arm.

"I mean, you're not a flaw either. You're perfect. Wait what??".

Asami was confusing herself. Where was she going with this??.

She sighed. "I meant that it's okay that you do what you do. It's kinda cute".

She smiled. Korra smiled cutely.

"You do??".

Asami nodded. "Yeah. It is".

Korra smirked. "Am I cute??".

Asami's stomach dropped. "Um".

Korra smiled and laughed. "I'm just messing with you. I know I'm cute".

Korra leaned back on the sofa, seeming to loosen up a bit. She was a bit more comfortable. Asami relaxed.

"So, what do you wanna do??", Asami asked.

Suddenly a growl was heard. Korra blushed and giggled.

"Ignore that".

Asami smiled. "You hungry??. I can make us something to eat".

Korra shook her head. "No. I'll be okay", she said. "I'll eat when I get home".

Asami raised an eyebrow.
