“It would be easier to appreciate if you stop putting things so high up... You do realize the rest of us can’t reach, right?” A single dark brow rose before she smirked.

"Suuuumi," Korra said, as she laid under the table, finally spotting Asami and grin. "Its a Mimi!" There was a giggle from the avatar, and her actions were definitely more sluggish. "You know," She slurred as she sat up, reaching up to poke Asami's nose. "Are addurble. A-duuuur-aaahh.... adible." She giggled as she leaned up against her. "You smell pretty,"

“How much have you had?” Asami asked, a little concerned but mostly amused by how silly Korra was being. It wasn’t that often Korra was this affectionate so it was a nice change. Though obviously, this was not the night to come late to their favorite bar. Mako and Bolin were already dancing, which Mako never did without being drunk and Korra was obviously well ahead of Asami’s two drinks. 

Asami wasn’t sure if she should drink more to catch up or hold off and become the mother hen for the night. Usually, that was Bolin. It didn’t seem to matter how much he drank, he was always so observant… But he was also chasing a skirt tonight so…

So a shot it was for her! Or maybe two! She signaled to the bartender before turning back to Korra who was booping her on the nose now. “You’ve always smelled great to me too,” Asami replied back. “Kind of like the cool, fresh air in the South Pole,” she described as her face fell into the palm of her hand as she peered at Korra with a secret smile.

Asami bit her bottom lip, wanting to do something as childish as throwing ‘are so!’ back at Korra like it was a legitimate argument tactic. Instead, she ran her hand through her hair and resisted the urge to narrow her eyes at the smaller female. “Really? Then why doesn’t it bother you that he wanted to buy me a drink, Korra? Hmm?” 

This is probably the stupidest thing they had ever argued but there would of course be discrepancies in their friendship to work out after being three, long years apart. They had to get used to being around each other again and learn all their little quirks again.

It seemed Korra had the quirk of being overprotective of her friends. “What is so horrible about this?” Asami never remember Korra being this restrictive before! Especially when they were supposed to be having a fun night out with the guys.

Asami didn’t see Korra getting all riled up about the girls circling Mako and Bolin!

"Asami??" Korra stared for a moment, just looking at the woman up in the tree. "Um... Asami, did you become part cat or something? Cause um... why are you in a tree? And why aren't you coming down?"

To say Asami was shaken up would be an understatement. She didn’t know what had happened. One moment, she was walking the perimeter of Air Island and the next, she sneezed and was airborne. By sheer luck alone, she had managed to grab onto the nearest tree and cling for dear life. After calming her breathing enough just so her heart wouldn’t beat out of her chest, she looked around thinking one of Tenzin’s children had decided to play a cruel trick on her. 

If so, they didn’t have the decency to stick around to see if she lived through the prank after because she couldn’t find a speck of them as she looked around. 

Relief swept through her when she heard Korra. “Korra! Oh, Korra!” Her voice quivered more than she would ever wish to admit but it was there. “I - I need help down.” Usually Asami would at least attempt to climb down but her nerves were shot after the sudden flight path and she didn’t think her hands would let her release the branch she was holding now if she tried.

Suddenly she was thankful it was only Korra around or she would die. She had a reputation to uphold but suddenly being fearless was the last thing on her mind.

It’s going to be taken the wrong way. Asami knows it the instant she grabbed at Korra and the words were out of her mouth. She can’t stop it once she was in motion though. The intensity in her gaze or the way her hand latched onto Korra. It’s rough and it’s clingy of her but she can’t help it. Her heart was swaying dangerously in her chest.

 “You can’t go with him, Korra.” 

She doesn’t care if Mako can hear her or that she sounded jealous (though the jealousy was probably going to be misconstrued towards the wrong person), which was stupid. She had no say over Korra. If anything, Mako had better rights to argue with his status as an ex while Asami had the status of… friend, maybe? She still wasn’t always sure of how tied Korra was to her. Or was she at all?

Were the boys really the only thing keeping them together? Because that’s not what Asami’s heart was hoping.

Korra peeked into the room, of the new girl in the compound. "Hello," Korra said, as she moved around, stepping in. "I've never met another kid in here." She tilted her head a little bit and smiled. "I'm Korra!"

she had promised her dad she wouldn’t cry and she didn’t. not a single tear was seen as he handed her off to some elder at the compound. she looked to be a thousand and her hands felt like worn leather but at least they were warm. asami’s hand was engulfed in hers and asami could only glance over her shoulder to give her father one final wave while a flood of uncertainty submerged her small body. 

the older woman helped her get ready for bed before they both worked on putting away her suitcase full of her personal possessions. asami had secretly hoped that she could keep them in the suitcase as it would suggest her father would be back before the end of the week but the woman had just shaken her head and before asami knew it, her whole life was tucked away in this room.

she was tucked into bed, all alone in this big room and then that was it. this was her life now and suddenly her promise to her father was broken as she cried into her palms, not even able to get comfortable in her bed. it wasn’t her bed!

her bed was back home in republic city! not here!

that was when the light from the hallway was streaming into her room only a small stature in the way from it completely flooding the room. asami froze in her crying, not expecting to see another small girl. this was was even shorter than her! 

“ we’re the only ones here? “ she asked in surprise and loneliness. suddenly the world seemed even smaller yet.

at least she wasn’t completely alone in the dark anymore with korra and her hallway lighting.

“ i’m... “ she hiccuped from her sobbing before and finally calmed down enough to get her lips to work again. “ i’m asami, korra. “ it was silly but she then extended her hand like she always saw her dad do at business deals. 

or maybe it was an excuse to make the girl have to near her. who knew... asami just didn’t want to be alone right now.
