Korra is sitting on the bed, still a little shocked from what had happened a couple of minutes ago, Katara is also sitting on the bed looking down, hair covering her face slightly, with a big rosy blush over her face, she is also twiddling her thumbs a little, Korra finally starts moving,
"Errr… should we talk about this? Korra asks.
"I think it might have just been the shock from today" Katara says, "I think I might have some more rest, good night".
"Oh… ok, good night" Korra replies, with a little disappointment in her voice.
Katara notices the change in Korra's voice but decides to stay laying down, Korra lays down looking at the back of Katara's head, she goes to tap Katara on the shoulder but changes her mind at the last second, Korra then rolls over and goes to sleep. A couple of hours have passed and Katara is still awake, she gets up and walks into the kitchen and sits down at the table, she puts her head in her hands,
"I can't believe I did that" She thinks to herself, "Why did I do it? What came over me?".
The sun has started to rise, Katara has fallen asleep at the table, her head is resting on her arms, back in the bedroom, Korra is stirring, the sun has risen, Korra finally wakes up properly and is laying there thinking about the dream she had, Katara and her were on a date and things got a bit sensual towards the end of the dream, Korra is thinking that she has only ever had those sort of dreams about Asami,
"Could I really be attracted to Katara?" Korra says to herself.
She looks over to the other side of the bed to see Katara is not there, she quickly sits up, wondering where Katara could be, Korra got up and looked in the bathroom,
"Not in there" She says.
Korra then walks into the living room, thinking she might be asleep on the sofa, Katara isn't there either, Korra walks into the Kitchen and she sees Katara asleep at the table with her head on her arms, Korra pulls out a chair and sits next to Katara,
"Katara, are you awake?" Korra says, waiting for a reply and not receiving one.
Katara hearing her own name, woke her up, but she didn't move and pretended to still be asleep,
"Ok, look Katara, I'm not sure if you can hear me or not because you're asleep, but I just wanted to say that, last night, the kiss was a little bit of a shock, don't get me wrong it was a nice kiss, ugh! I'm not very good with words! I guess what I'm trying to say is over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed that I have started to get feelings, towards you and I'm not exactly sure what to do as it feels like I am cheating on Asami, I really don't know what to do. Well anyway thanks for listening to me ramble on, even if you are asleep" Korra says, feeling exposed afterwards.
Korra gets up and walks outside to sit down on the bench, Katara is staring at the floor, surprise all over her face,
"I know exactly how you feel Korra" Katara says to herself quietly.
Katara sits up, looks out the window to see Korra sitting outside, Katara stands up and starts to walk outside but then diverts into the bedroom and walks into the bathroom, she looks in the mirror then starts to freshen up, a couple of minutes later she walks out of the bathroom and sits down on the bed, she looks over towards her diary and grabs it, she opens it to a fresh page and starts writing,
Day 154 105AG
Dear diary, so I found something out this morning, just before, Korra told me that she has started to have feelings for me, I'm not sure what to do as it feels like if we did do something, it would feel like cheating and I love Aang so much, maybe I can go ask some people that have feelings for girls on what to do, yeah I think I'll do that.
Anyway, thanks for listening
Sincerely,
Katara
Katara closes her diary and puts it inside her bedside table drawer, she then gets up and goes back into the kitchen and starts making breakfast, she accidentally drops a pan, making Korra jump and also making her aware that Katara is up, Katara picks up the pan, washes it up and starts cooking breakfast,
"Cooking food is so much easier when you have two water tribe people living together" She says to herself.
Meanwhile out the front, Korra is thinking whether she should go inside and talk to Katara about last night, she sits there pondering on the thought for ten minutes, another 5 minutes has passed and Korra has been building up the courage to talk to her, all of a sudden, Katara has popped her head out the door,
"Breakfast is ready" Katara says, before she pops back inside.
Korra gets up, stretches and walks back into the house, sits down at the table and starts eating, she doesn't look up from her food,
"I'm going out today to visit some people I know, is it ok if I leave you here?" Katara says.
"Yeah, I should be ok" Korra says while looking down, she starts slurping her cup of tea.
"Can you not slurp?!" Katara exclaims.
Korra stops mid slurp, looks at Katara, then puts her cup down, "Sorry" Korra says.
"Would it be alright to get Suki round here? I would like to hang out with her" Korra says.
"I don't see why not, I'll stop there on my way and tell her" Katara replies.
Fifteen minutes have passed and both Katara and Korra have finished their breakfast, Katara washes everything up and dries it off, she then goes and gets ready to go out. Twenty minutes later Katara is ready,
"I'll be back later, I'll let Suki know you are waiting for her" Katara says, as she is walking out the door.
About half an hour later and Katara has arrived at Sokka and Suki's place, she knocks on the door and Suki answers,
"Oh hey Katara, is everything alright?" Suki asks.
"Hey Suki, everything is fine I guess, I'm actually just walking passed to see some people, I left Korra back at home but she said that she wants to hang out with you, could you go round there and keep her company?" Katara says.
"Yeah sure, I can do that, I'll go round as soon as possible" Suki says.
"Thank you" Katara says, "Well I must be on my way, see you later".
"Ok, bye" Suki says.
Suki watches Katara walk away, she can sense something is up with her, she shrugs it off and goes back inside to get ready, about twenty minutes later, Suki is leaving to go hang out with Korra, meanwhile Katara has just turned up to a house, she walks up to the door and knocks on the door, a girl walks to the door,
"Ohhh! Katara! This is a nice surprise! What brings you by?" the girl says, as she hugs Katara.
"Hey Ty Lee, I have some stuff I needed to ask you guys about" Katara says.
"Oh yeah sure, the only thing is, Azula isn't here right now, she's visiting Zuko" Ty Lee says.
"That's ok" Katara says, "It's still alright to ask you though yeah? She asks.
"Oh definitely, come on in" Ty Lee says.
Katara walks in the house, Ty Lee closes the door behind them, she then directs Katara into the living room where Katara takes a seat, Ty Lee also sits down,
"So, what can I help with? By the way, I love your hair, it really suits you" Ty Lee says.
"Thank you! Well, over the past couple of weeks, I have started to get feelings for a girl and I'm not sure what to do about them, I was wondering if you had any advice?" Katara replies.
"A girl! Aren't you with the avatar?" Ty Lee asks.
"Yeah I am, but it has gotten a little bit complicated recently" Katara says.
"Ok, so tell me about this girl" Ty Lee says.
"Well she is very pretty, beautiful even, she's strong, amazing eyes, caring, sweet, bold…" Katara says, as she drifts off thinking about Korra.
"Katara?" Ty Lee says.
"Yeah… Oh sorry" Katara replies.
"Ok, well it definitely looks like there is something there, maybe take her out on a date or something and see how you feel at the end" Ty Lee says.
Meanwhile back at Aang and Katara's house, Suki is just arriving, she knocks on the door, Korra walks over to open the door, she greets Suki in,
"Hey Korra, how are you?" Suki says.
"I'm fine I guess, how are you?" Korra replies.
"I'm alright" Suki says, "So I hear you wanted to hang out?" she says.
"Yeah, is that ok?" Korra asks, "I actually have something to ask you" she says.
"Yeah, that's fine, Sokka's at work anyways, so what did you want to ask me?" Suki says.
"Ok, how do I put this… over the past couple of weeks I have started to get feelings for Katara and I'm not sure what to do about them as it feels like I would be cheating on my girlfriend, do you have any advice?" Korra says.
"What's brought this on all of a sudden? Suki asks.
"Katara kissed me last night after she woke up" Korra says.
"Oh I see, well, when you think of Katara, what comes to mind?" Suki asks.
"Beautiful, caring, sweet, kind, funny in her own way" Korra starts smiling, while she is thinking about Katara.
"OK, well, maybe ask her out on a date or something" Suki says, "What's the worst that can happen".
"I suppose" Korra says.
About an hour and a half later, Katara is on her way home, she runs into Iroh,
"Katara, how are you doing? I like what you have done with your hair" he says.
"I'm ok, Iroh, how are you? Katara replies.
"I'm good, just on my way back home with some jasmine tea I bought" Iroh says.
"Yeah, I'm just on my way back home now as well" Katara says.
"How is it with Korra?" Iroh asks.
"It's ok" Katara says, as she starts blushing.
"Did something happen between you two?" Iroh asks.
"Err… you could say that, to be honest, I don't really want to talk about it" Katara says.
"That's ok, I can understand, well anyway I must be getting home, it was nice to see you again, Katara" Iroh says, as he starts walking off.
"It was nice to see you again too" Katara says, as she walks the other way.
About ten minutes later, Katara walks in the front door, she sees Korra in the kitchen making some tea,
"Oh, you're home! Do you want a cup of tea?" Korra says.
"Yes please, I really need one" Katara says.
"Oh, by the way, I need to ask you something if that is alright?" Korra asks.
"Sure, I also need to ask you something as well" Katara replies.
Korra sort of slows down making the tea because she starts to get nervous a little, she has no idea what Katara wants to ask her. Katara is starting to get nervous as well as she doesn't know what Korra wants to ask her, Korra walks over to Katara, places a cup of tea in front of her and sits down on the opposite side of the table,
"So, who's going first? Korra asks.
"You can if you want" Katara says.
"No, you can go first" Korra replies.
They both sit there in silence for a couple of minutes, then all of a sudden,
"Do you want to go out on a date with me?" they both say simultaneously.
They both chuckle at what they both said,
"Yes, that would be nice" Katara says.
"Excellent" Korra replies, "I'll let you pick where and when".
"How about Friday, 7:30, Kwang's?" Katara asks.
"Sounds perfect" Korra says.
Katara and Korra are both staring into each other's eyes a little, Katara then notices the time, gets up walks over to Korra, gives her a peck on the cheek, to which Korra blushes and Katara then starts making dinner.
