They had a few hours until Mako would come and Asami and Korra new just how to use them. As they went towards the stalls for the Airbison Asami and Korra were holding hands ignoring the White-Lotus Sentries around them. Asami knew what was about to happen next, so she stepped away from Korra to give her and her lifelong friend some space.
And there she was. Racing towards them - Naga. The Polar bear dog almost knocked Korra off her feet. Its tail waggling and tongue ready to lick the face of the Avatar. Korra jumped around her animal companion petting its white fur, laughing while doing so.
"They haven't seen each other almost a year" Asami thought "they have to make up for some lost time."
"Come over here 'sami" her girlfriend said gesturing towards Naga. As Asami walked over to Naga, the Polar bear dog lifted its head and then rushed towards her. The Heiress was quickly thrown out of balance and fell, leaving Naga over her licking hear head.
"Hey, I am the only one who is allowed to do that" Korra said with a big grin on her face. The Avatar lead Naga a few steps away from her girlfriend so she could stand up and then turned to her with her hands still going through the fur of her animal companion.
"So we need to talk about how to tell Mako about us." Asami said now standing next to Korra, also petting the animal.
"Yeah, I guess" the Avatar sighed. "Any Ideas? Mine kinda run out at heads on." She added smiling.
"That sounds like you." Asami laughed and then giving her girlfriend a kiss.
"How about we let him realize it? It worked with Lin." Asami suggested.
"Even though it was never planned" she thought thinking about how smooth the morning with Lin went.
"Yeah I guess." Korra answered now looking in the distance. Asami knew that this was eating away at her girlfriend. They both had a relationship with Mako and both of them ended on more drastic terms.
"Okay look, let us not worry about the how until he gets here. Let's see how he reacts to us being back and then see where it goes from there." Asami said, looking at Korra who was still looking out to the sea.
"Sounds perfect" Korra said now smiling, but Asami could see in her girlfriends eyes that she still was not sure. That's when the Heiress got an Idea.
"Com' on Mako won't be here for hours, let's go to the small beach her on Air-temple Island and relax for a little bit.
Korra agreed and they went arm in arm to the beach. Asami had packed some treats for them and Naga in her backpack before leaving and as they arrived they fed some of them to Naga, who soon after that went swimming leaving the young couple alone on the beach.
The weather was great. Not necessarily weather to go swimming but for relaxing on the beach it was perfect. Asami lay next to Korra with her head on top of the Avatars breasts. She could hear her girlfriends' heartbeat and it was incredibly soothing for her. Korra went to Asamis hair, curling it and combing through it with her fingers when Asami looked up.
"Hey, sweetie?" she asked shyly.
"Yes?" Korra asked, perplexed being thrown out of her daze.
"I thought about something last night, when you were already asleep." Asami said with her eyes sparkling, reflecting the water. "You know that I love you and that's why I can't be without you. Only thinking of it makes me feel sad and..... ." After a short pause she continued "I can't imagine how it would be to sleep without feeling you breathe in my arms or wake up without you lying next to me. So what I guess, I am trying to ask you is, if you would like to move in with me into my mansion?"
