"You won't." Asami whispers again.

Korra moans softly as warm multicolored flames turn their clothing to ash.

Asami leans down placing an achingly sweet kiss on her lover's lips. "How long have you been immortal?" She asks.

The Avatar feels a familiar gentle pulse within her mind. Asami was telepathically connecting with her. "A couple weeks I guess."

Asami smirks appreciating the innocence on the Avatar's face. She and Korra's alternate had done things together that only the immortal could do. It was all she knew now. Asami decided in that moment that she was going to do things differently with this Korra. This would be her new first time and this time she'd remember it. The heiress' eyes shift from a light jade green to turquoise.

Azure orbs widen in fear. Asami furrows her brow sensing the change in Korra's emotions. She shifts her eyes back to normal then sits up. "You're…you're afraid. Did I do something wrong?" The Avatar gulps then lowers her eyes averting her gaze. An all too familiar pang of unworthiness fills Asami's heart. Her lover was shutting her out again. "It's okay. I understand."

Korra takes a deep breath then cups her wife's cheek prompting her to bring their heads together. The Avatar shakes her head knowing what Asami was thinking. "No…it's, it's not like that. I want to, I just…." Asami lowers her eyes. Korra swallows again. "Can I…show you something? Don't think less of me okay."

Green eyes meet blue. The heiress nods. Korra shows her what happened the night Koh pretended to be their daughter. The young engineer trembles feeling her eyes well up with tears. Asami wraps her arms around her wife's neck. She cries softly while peppering Korra's neck and shoulders with kisses. Korra rubs her back furrowing her brow wondering why Asami was so emotional all of a sudden. Sure that was a nasty trick Koh had played on her, but she'd gotten over it. "Thank you….thank…you…thank you." Asami whispers over and over again until she finds sweet caramel lips to kiss.

"For what?" Korra asks.

Asami wipes her eyes. "For letting me in."

Korra furrows her brow. Just what kind of person had she become in the future? It was one thing to not listen to her wife, but not sharing with her was unimaginable. "Asami…what happened to us…"

The CEO interrupts her with a kiss urging Korra to lie back again. "Mmm…" Korra moans as their tongues dance within her mouth. Her eyes flutter feeling Asami's fingertips trail unhurriedly down her throat and chest. "Asami…"

Asami suckles Korra's bottom lip into her mouth before sitting up. "You're so beautiful." The engineer says quietly allowing her tear welled eyes to take in every inch of the smooth sun-kissed skin beneath her. Right at that moment she was seeing her wife through fresh eyes. It was like she was seeing her for the first time, through the eyes of love, not through the eyes of fear that colored her world after her memory loss.

Korra cups her partner's cheek for some eye contact. She needed to understand how they'd become so separated from one another. Even if her wife had lost her memory she would never turn her back on her. "Asami…please…I need you to tell me…."
