How does it feel

How does it feel 5

Korra felt lighter than air as she lay in bed that night. She couldn't help but sigh. Korra held her stomach as butterflies began to flutter within her, then quickly covered her face even though it was just her and Naga in the room. She was embarrassed at how giddy she felt unable to keep the blush from her cheeks as she thought of her 'girlfriend'.

"Me and Asami....ahhhhh! I can't believe that guy said that!" She shouts still giggling. Korra puts both her arms above her head and sighs rubbing her cheek where Asami had kissed her.

She takes a deep breath and stares at the abstract picture of the woman on the motorcycle. "Maybe Gran Gran is right..." Korra says to herself now actively picturing her and Asami on that bike together.

Korra rolls her eyes and shakes her head as she remembers gazing into Asami's emerald green eyes on her doorstep. "...I should've kissed her." She raspberry's herself. "Sure Mako's all doe-eyed and confused about his feelings and I jump right in, but Asami says hi and I choke...perfect. Way to go Korra."

She smiles still enjoying the scent of jasmine from Asami's hair on her pillow. "(sighing)....Man, she's so beautiful." Korra rolls over in bed and stares out the window. "Asami." She chuckles as she raises her eyebrows contemplatively. "You... wanna go out with me?" Korra raises the pitch of her voice slightly trying to mimmick her friend. "Like on a date, Korra?" The avatar puts on a cool expression. "Yeah, a date."

Korra rolls onto her back and sighs putting her arm on her forehead as she closes her eyes. "Me and Asami."

Asami can't seem to get the smile from her face as she lies down to sleep staring at the ceiling.

"Korra." She says with a breathy sigh. "I.... like you. Korra, I like you. No. I like you Korra. No that's not it. Avatar... Korra, I would be... honored...." She laughs to herself rolling her eyes. "Geez I'm such a spaz." Asami says feeling her heart beating a little faster. "Ugh...What's she gonna think? I mean, she didn't exactly deny it when that guy said we were together...(sighing)" A soft smile comes to her face. "Me and Korra...(sighing heavily, closing her eyes and shaking her head)...Asami Sato, CEO, Professional Driver, and Girlfriend...of the Avatar. Ha...right, maybe in my dreams."

Two hours later the phone rings.

"Hello...yes, this is Asami. Oh no. Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can. Call the district attorney's office and have three messengers meet me at the office." She hangs up the phone and heads out the door.

The next day at Republic General....

12:30 pm

Korra anxiously watches the clock as she holds the balance bars. Asami was late.

"Are you ready?" Dr. Guo asks to her.

"Huh...Oh... yeah." The young avatar says with a sigh.

Korra closes her eyes as the doctor metal bends 8 needles that pierce her legs.

"Alright Korra, hands to your side." The doctor says as Korra slowly takes her hands from the bars. "Okay now, nice and slow. Just one step at a time."

Mako and Bolin have their eyes trained on her. Korra takes a deep breath and focuses on the Earth Kingdom symbol on the wall.

She lifts her left leg first, as she pictures Asami standing in front of her. There isn't just pain shooting through her legs. Her heart ached wondering where her friend was. She winces as she puts her leg down.

"Come on Korra, you got this." Mako says trying to encourage her. He'd been watching her intently since they first picked her up that morning. There was something different about her.
