A Dream Deferred

Korra giggles quietly in her sleep.

Two beautiful women lie naked in a field of midnight blue flowers under a pastel green sky as a gentle breeze enfolds them. Korra slowly opens her eyes feeling her mate's warm, full, soft lips over hers. This kiss is passionate yet rough and forceful. She smiles into her lover's lips then cups her cheek halting the woman's heated oral onslaught. "What's gotten into you today?" The Avatar asks with a small giggle.

Her partner pulls back from her revealing baby blue eyes. "Korra….you heard me."

The Avatar gulps. "A…sami?" The water essence leans down into Korra's lips again. Her tongue swims through the water tribe woman's mouth like it belonged there. A moan escapes her lips startling the young Avatar. Korra pulls back from her. They stare into one another's eyes for a moment. "Mizu…" She gulps again. "Are, are you alright?"

A dark solemn chuckle escapes the watery woman's throat as she stares into Korra's eyes. She cups the young Avatar's cheek staring silently into azure orbs.

Korra is taken aback as warm tears rain down upon her face. Her heart begins to ache watching Mizu cry above her. All she could see was her lover in pain. She wants to speak but she can't, what could she possibly say to soothe her.

"To love Asami is to love Mizu." Chelse's words echo through the water tribe woman's mind.

The Inuit woman's protective impulses kick into high gear. She swallows softly then takes Mizu's face between her hands and brings their lips together. This was all she could think to do.

The water essence cries even harder as their lips overlap. She takes a trembling breath trying to speak. "Kor…ra."

The Avatar gently kisses her lips then lies back in the grass. She averts her eyes then pulls Mizu down into her arms. "It's…it's okay. I'm here." Her heart was beating a mile a minute. Korra was scared out of her mind as she caressed the watery titan's back. Was this really okay? They were clearly in a dream and this clearly wasn't Asami. But whose dream was it, Mizu's or Asami's? Maybe something had really happened to Mizu and this was her way of communicating with them. "Mizu…."

The water essence takes a deep breath snuggling into Korra's chest. "When Tsuchi first took me from your world, I cried out for you, for my love, for my Avatar to save me, to hold me in your arms like this. You're one of the reasons I became human." She whispers.

Korra swallows softly, unsure of what to say.

"But I'll never have this. I'll never have you, not now." Mizu says sitting up. She stares down at Korra with sorrow in her eyes.

The young Avatar sits up and takes the tearful woman into her arms. Something wasn't right. "Mizu, it's okay…." Korra closes her eyes. "I'm, I'm here now. I need to know if you're alright."

The water essence pulls back. Their eyes lock. Mizu brings their lips together again. This time Korra reciprocates. Mizu has tears in her eyes as their lips part.
