Korrasami Oneshots

Library Desk Help Girl

Korra walked out of her dorm room with half a Clif bar hanging out her mouth and her unzipped backpack haphazardly slung over her shoulder. She was making her way across campus to the library where she planned to spend the rest of the night.

This semester, Korra had six classes lined up, and so far, that meant no free time. When it came to school, she wasn't exactly the fastest learner, which was why she needed to spend extra hours studying.

As Korra reached the outside doors of the library, she shoved her Clif bar wrapper into her hoodie pocket and took the stairs straight to the fourth floor. There were a total of five floors, but over the years, Korra has found the fourth floor to be the most empty, probably because it was just rows and rows of old computers that barely worked. The peace and quiet was worth waiting an extra 10 minutes for the computer to boot up.

She made her way to the computer near the technology help desk just in case her computer randomly broke down, and she needed to call for backup. Without paying any attention to the help desk girl who was sending her a confused look, Korra put in her earbuds and proceeded to study her life away.

Asami was mid bite into her microwave burrito when she noticed the random girl with bright blue eyes take a seat directly across from her at the crappiest computer on the floor. Asami had been working at the help desk for the past year, and the girl's presence surprised her for two reasons: 1) hardly anybody came to the fourth floor and 2) anybody who comes to the fourth floor knows that that computer is the absolute worst. However, instead of saying anything, Asami decided to let the girl figure it out for herself.

As Asami patiently waited for her to get up and ask for computer-CPR, she took out her notebook and began to study in the meantime.

Five minutes passed. Asami peaked up to find blue eyes focused on the computer. Ten minutes passed. Those blue eyes were still locked on the screen. Fifteen minutes passed. This time, Asami found blue eyes staring back at her.

Asami quickly shot her gaze back down to her notebook, trying to pretend they didn't just make eye contact. In her peripheral vision, Asami saw the girl get up and make her way towards her.

"Excuse me," Korra said. She was wearing a flowy tank top and blue sweats. Her brown hair was cut short. Meanwhile, Asami wore a red blouse and black pants. Her black hair was left long.

The help desk girl looked up and managed half a smile. "Hi, how can I help you?"

"The computer kinda stopped working. I pulled up a Google Doc and then the whole thing froze."

"Yeah, that one tends to do that." Asami shut her notebook and made her way towards the computer as Korra trailed behind.

"'That one?'"

Asami bent down to level herself with the screen and clicked the mouse a few times to confirm it most definitely was frozen. "You kinda chose the worst computer on the floor."

"Oh wow. Why didn't you stop me?"

"I didn't know how to break it to you," Asami said. She met Korra's gaze.

Wow, her eyes are really blue, Asami thought.

"Anyways, I'll try to get it working again, but in the meantime, you should probably transition to another computer."

Asami took a seat in front of the malfunctioning computer while Korra moved her stuff over to the very next desktop. She didn't want to go too far away in case the same thing happened again, but Asami was understandably confused as to why she didn't choose a further computer. The two girls were now sitting next to each other, not saying a word as Asami clicked away.
