A Fiction

“Are you awake?” Asami spoke softly. Her words the gentlest they’d ever been. Truthfully she’d barely used her voice in days and it didn't sound familiar to her. As soon as they found Korra, Asami hadn't left her side. Korra had been in the hospital for almost a week and still hadn’t even opened her eyes. Cradling Korra’s calloused hands, she stared down at her; the normally loud, boisterous girl who was always full of life and energy, was beaten. Signs of her struggles raged all over her body. “Can you hear me Korra?” Her voice cracked slightly as she fought to fight back tears looking at the state the girl she loved was in. “Look, there’s some things I need to get off my chest and some of these things I’m afraid I won’t have the guts to say to you when you’re awake. So I’m going to try say them now…”***An AU fiction where Asami and Korra realise they're in love with each other, (unfortunately) right about the time a lot of dangerous people want Korra dead because they discover she's the Avatar. Asami must now fight to keep the love of her life alive.
