Korrasami Week

Korrasami week part one: Flowers

Asami smiled as she walked around her kitchen. Stirring in the pots and pans on the stove. Korra will be here any second… can’t screw up her favorite meal! She bend down to check the arctic hen that was slowly roasted to perfection. She licked her own lips absentmindedly and checked her watch for, what felt like, the hundredth time.

‘ding ding…!’

“Spirits…! She’s here! She’s really here!” she was in such a hurry to go to the small device that was attached to the wall, that she totally forgot she was still wearing her apron. She clicked on one of the buttons. “Hello?”

“Hey Sami! It’s me!”

Asami smiled and felt the butterflies in her stomach go rampage. “Hey Korra! When you hear the buzz, you can open the door. Top floor, first door on your right. Number 89, you can’t miss it!” she pushed another button for a good few seconds, giving Korra enough time to open the door and get in. The CEO quickly ran back into her kitchen, lowered the fire on which she was cooking and checked out the table that was already set. Everything was already there, except for the food, obviously.

She heard her own doorbell and rushed towards it to open the door. She saw Korra standing in the door opening. A bright smile on her lips and her eyes seemed to sparkle from pure happiness. She held a small bouquet of red roses and before Asami could say anything, a gentle hand touched her cheek and tan lips locked with her own in a tender and loving kiss.

The raven inhaled sharply through her nose but relaxed instantly against her girlfriends lips and the tender touch of her hand against her cheek. Korra is the one to pull back first and noticed the dark blush on the pale girls face. “I… uh… s-sorry…” she rubbed the back of her neck nervously and held the bouquet of roses with the other. “Y-you just look really cute with that apron… and I couldn’t resist… t-these are for you!” she suddenly said and Asami chuckled softly.

“Thank you, they look amazing…” Asami said and took the bouquet with both hands. Sniffing the flowers once and enjoying their scent.

“Just like you.” Korra mumbled and she felt her heartbeat increase when their eyes met again. Oh shit… she probably heard that… heh… so cheesy…

The two walked back inside and Asami closed the door behind Korra. They walked into the living room and Korra admired everything she saw. Soft ‘ooooh’s’ and ‘ahhhh’s’ escaping her as Asami gave her a small tour around the apartment.

“My place is so dull compared to this… I’m kinda ashamed of it really…” Korra said as they walked back into the living room and settled at the table. Asami put all the food on the table.

“You shouldn’t! I love your place. It’s so warm and welcoming…”

“That why you fell asleep in front of the fire place?” Korra asked and chuckled softly.

“Hey… I can’t help it that my girlfriend is such an amazing cuddler…” she said with a wink and put the plate with the arctic hen on the table.

“Oooooooh… Sami… that looks delicious!” Korra’s eyes seemed like they were about to pop out of her skull.

The CEO blushed deeply and after she removed her apron, she settled at the table too. The two enjoyed their meal together sharing little stories about work and their silly friends. Its how they met after all. Bolin had invited them to a party that he held at his place. The two women talked and actually never stopped doing so. They exchanged phone numbers and they started texting daily.

Before they knew it, Korra kissed Asami during sunset at the beach after a long walk wit Naga, Korra’s dog. The younger woman asked Asami if she wanted to come to her place to enjoy some noodles and the CEO had happily agreed.

Asami watched as Korra pretty much devoured the entire arctic hen on her own and the pale beauty enjoyed the vegetables, rice and noodles that she had prepared too. Korra of course wouldn’t be Korra if she didn’t ‘help’ her host to get rid of all the leftovers and made sure that everything was gone by the time they both finished.

Korra helped Asami clean the table and kitchen and after they had settled comfortably on the couch, the CEO turned towards the tanned beauty with a bright smile on her lips. “There’s one more thing I have for you…” she said, her voice soft as if she was afraid to spill the surprise.

Korra looked confused at first but smiled and sat back comfortably against the couch. “Okay… should I close my eyes?”

“Oh yes, good thing you mention that. And no peeking…!” they both chuckled as Asami walked out of sight.

Korra had her eyes closed when she heard Asami walk back in. She felt her kneel between her slightly parted legs and she felt an embarrassing warmth spread over her cheeks. No naughty thoughts, no naughty thoughts, no naughty thoughts!! Stop it brain! Korra’s hands rested on her lap and something hard was put in her open hands. She felt Asami’s hands on her own and together, they hand onto something hard, made of clay? It’s cold too… Korra didn’t know.

“O-okay… you can open them…”

And Korra did. She looked straight into Asami’s eyes first and smiled but slowly let her gaze go down South to where their hands were. Her eyes went wide and her breath hitched in her throat. Her heart started pounding in her chest when her eyes locked with Asami’s surprise. And what a surprise it was. She held onto a small clay jar that held a flower that she hadn’t seen since she was ten years old. The Blue Arctic Orchid.  She looked up at Asami, back to the flower, repeating that motion several times. Her lips quivering as if she was about to speak but unable to find the words. “H-how…? I-I… what… h-how d-did you…?”

Asami smiled. “I remember when you talked about it… and how your eyes had shone so brightly… I thought you wanted to see it again…”

“B-but how…? They only grow at the…”

“South pole? Heh… yeah… well, I can say that it surely wasn’t easy to come by…” she said, her smile never fading. Her fingers tenderly caressing Korra’s. “But I wanted to do this, for you… to show you how much I... how much I…” she gulped, unable to look her girlfriend in the eye. “H-how… much I l-love you…” she said with trembling voice. They hadn’t used the words, I love you, just yet but Asami had never been more sure about anything in her life.

Korra tenderly put a finger under Asami’s chin, forcing her to look up. She leaned down and their lips met once again in a deep but loving kiss. The kiss lasted a few good minutes before they both had to pull back for air. “I love you too Sami…” Korra whispered, their foreheads resting against one another. Korra pulled her girlfriend off of the floor and onto the couch. Asami happily cuddled against the younger woman, her head resting on Korra’s chest while an arm held tightly around her shoulder. The flower still on Korra’s lap.
