The game goes on

Chapter 2: Locker room

"There's our quarterback!" Korra was welcomed, she snickered and waved away the attention.

"She's here, indeed, desperately needing a shower; so if you don't mind"

"We don't mind, never did," Viya said with a grin and Korra rolled her eyes at her teammate, though with a smile tugging on the corners of her lips.

"Oh Viya, you'll never stop, will you?"

"Got that right, Korra," Viya answered with a playful wink, just friendship, nothing more behind it. "So, it's official?" Viya asked as she threw an arm around Korra's neck, she was still completely nude but her hair wet; she had a shower already.

"Good morning to you too, Viya. It's been for quite a while. And now I'm really gonna grab a shower" Korra answered and brushed off Viya's arm, quickly taking off her outfit and grabbing her towel, boxer and bra.

"Viya, just let Korra have her shower. Come on, get dressed," Yasha said, one of the other teammates. Korra nodded at her gratefully, Yasha nodded back accompanied with a wink. When Viya turned around to face the blonde, Yasha shot Korra a look that told her to get into the shower.

"Thanks Yasha," Korra thanked her quietly when the warm water fell onto her, enjoying the shower more now with the knowledge Viya wouldn't bug her with more questions.

"Korra, your chick is almost here! Make it fast, because we're going to the canteen!" Viya called. "Ow! Was that really necessary?"

"Yes." Korra heard Yasha answer and chuckled. Yasha was pretty new, but she already liked the girl. She knew when it was enough, but knew how to have fun as well, the blonde was a girl with an attitude; in the positive sense.

Korra put on her socks, jeans and hooded sweater and then put on her favorite pair of sneakers. She took her comb out of the sports bag and laid it down on the couch in the corner, locked her locker and sat down. Just when she fastened her belt, the door opened and Asami walked in.

"Hi there, gorgeous," Asami greeted with a playful wink. Korra looked at the cheerleader in amazement, mouth hanging open and body frozen. Asami looked, as always, breathtakingly stunning; dark red top, tight jeans that basically hugged the curves of her hips and bottom, black ankle boots and her hair flowing over one shoulder and leaving the other almost bare.

"Hey beautiful," Korra spoke in a soft voice, stood up and closed the distance between her and the cheerleader. Gently Korra reached out and rested her hands on Asami's lower back, pulling the cheerleading captain closer to her. "You look amazing, 'Sami" Korra whispered and softly placed her lips on Asami's, who responded by kissing back the quarterback willingly.

"So do you, Korra," Asami replied after their lips parted, smiling lovingly at the football player. "Want me to comb your hair again?" Korra nodded and handed Asami the hair comb, then sat down on the couch again. Asami gently took Korra's hair in one hand, the comb in the other. Korra's hair was still wet from showering, but if was soft anyway, Asami loved combing the brown locks.

"Want me to do it in a ponytail?" Asami asked and Korra woke from her daydream.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, that'd be nice" Korra mumbled with a sheepish smile and Asami shook her head, grinning. She held up the hair and wrapped the elastic around it, leaving the strands by the quarterback's ears loose; the way Korra mostly wore it.

"Al done, daydreamer."

"What do you—? I wasn't—!" Korra stopped sputtering and sighed. Asami giggled and turned Korra's face towards herself and surprised the footballer with a kiss.

"I don't mind, Korra. It's actually kind of cute" Asami whispered and took Korra's hand, pulling the other up. She saw how Korra's cheeks changed color and felt her heart flutter again, it was kind of fascinating how Korra managed to cause that by the smallest things.

"In that case" Korra mumbled with a smirk forming on her lips, making the cheerleader laugh pleasantly. Korra loved that laugh, it made her skin tingle.

"Not now, cutie. We're going to the canteen, the rest is probably waiting already."

"I'm sure they don't mind waiting for a little bit," Korra whispered as she pressed another kiss on Asami's lovely lips. Asami sighed happily as she answered the quarterback's kiss.

"You're too good at this, I wouldn't be surprised if you ever get me in trouble by it," Asami whispered against Korra's soft lips. The football player raised an eyebrow in confusion, not understanding what Asami meant. "Like causing us both to be late," Asami explained smiling, kissed Korra quickly and turned around. Korra beside her, leaving the dressing room and towards the canteen.
