Authors Note
Are you ready for some feels? I hope you are.
This chapter is again longer than the usual, but I didn't know
where to stop writing to make it feel complete, so I decided to make it
a little bit longer. A little heads up: I am not the most comfortable with writing
News articles, so please bear with me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asami didn't remember how she got home as she laid in bed next to Korra. She tried to be strong for her girlfriend while they were at the Gala but now that she that she was home everything came back to her.
Even though Bolin had advised them to not pay any attention to the crowd Asami hadn't been able to ignore them completely. As she laid in bed she could see their faces and how the disgust and shock was more common than the smiles and happiness throughout the crowd. She also heard the questions all over again and it felt like she was there again. Why have you chosen to be interested in girls? Is it only because Korra is the Avatar?
Asami was lying in her bed next to her girlfriend who fell crying asleep as soon as they got home. She cried quietly into her pillow to not wake her girlfriend, after what felt an eternity she finally fell asleep.
She was standing in front of the crowd at the gala again, but this time the gala wasn't filled with party guests, it was filled with only four different people. Her father, Tenzin, Bolin ,and Mako. They all stood next to one hundred of themselves. Asami felt her heart beating and as she looked around her she saw that she was alone on the stage. Korra was nowhere to be seen and her heart began to race even more.
Then Hiroshi, her father, and all his clones started speaking "Why? My own daughter?". Shortly after that the Makos started "You two are disgusting; all I was doing was my job". Then the Tenzins began "Did you really think I was okay with you two? You are a disgrace!" and shortly after that the Bolins were talking "This kind of relationship cannot be!".
They all repeated their lines every time they finished and all Asami could do was to stand there. She could neither talk nor move. Asami felt like a hundred Buffalo Foxes ran over her. Then their voices got quieter and Korra appeared behind the crowed. She was flying in the Avatarsate and looked down to Asami "Do you think you deserve me? Do you think I really had feelings for you?"
Then it all faded to black. When Asami opened her eyes she could see that everyone was gone except for Korra. Her girlfriend wasn't in the Avatarstate anymore and was sitting in the same wheelchair she sat in when she left for the south pole to heal. Asami's emotions were now all over the place, her fear now turned into sadness and then into fear again. She couldn't stand losing her love again for four years. Korra raised her head and looked to Asami. "No, I don't want you to come with me I don't need you. I never needed you." Asami now fell to ground...
" 'sami. Asami. Please wake up" Korra's voice said waking her up.
She opened her eyes and saw Korra sitting next to her with her face over her own. She could feel the sweat all over her body and she must have kicked the blanket on the floor.
"Are you okay?" Korra asked worried, her eyes fixed on Asami's.
"Yes, just a bad dream." she answered slowly sitting up.
"Asami that was more than just a bad dream." The Avatar said looking over to her girlfriend "You were kicking around, screamed and turned at least a thousand times."
"It really was just a bad dream" Asami said trying to calm her girlfriend down. What she didn't tell her was that it was the worst dream she had in a very long time. The last time she woke up completely covered in sweat was when Korra had gone to the south pole to heal but that was a different dream. In that dream she was able to move, but still unable to help Korra in the fight with Zaheer.
