So Close

It had been a long day at the office of Future Industries, and Asami was relieved that she could finally go home and get some sleep. She and Varrick had been asked to continue experiments with the Hummingbirds, so there was plenty of work for them both.

Asami opened the door to her darkened bedroom and could just make out the curve of Korra's outline in her bed. Carefully, she tiptoed to her dresser and changed into her sleepwear as quietly as possible so that she wouldn't wake Korra.

She slowly climbed into bed with her girlfriend and snuggled up close to her back, pressing her forehead between Korra's shoulder blades. Korra mumbled incoherently and began shifting under the sheets.

Whoops, Asami thought.

Korra rolled over to face Asami and blinked at her in the darkness, her eyes still hazy from sleep.

"'Sami?" she murmured. Korra's eyes closed as she reached out to hold her. Asami welcomed Korra's embrace, nestling her head into the base of her neck.

"Shh, go back to sleep."

Korra tightened her arms around her and let out a content sigh. Asami closed her eyes finally and was ready for this greatly needed rest. She could already feel herself relaxing into a peaceful sleep—

"'Sami, did you hear about the firebender who got his left arm ripped off by a moose-lion?"

Asami's eyes flew open. "What?! When did this happen?"

"Don't worry," Korra said, "He's all right."

Asami pulled back and looked at Korra, her eyebrows scrunching together in confusion.

"What do you—?" she began. Asami studied Korra's face. Though her eyes were closed, a small smirk pulled at the corners of her lips. Immediately she understood and scowled into the darkness. "How amusing." She did not sound amused.

"Oh, c'mon it was clever," Korra complained as she grinned and pulled Asami back to her.

"Yes, very clever," she muttered. Asami snuggled up against her 'hilarious' Avatar once more. "How long have you been saving that one?"

"Hm… I dunno, how long were you gone today?"

Asami slightly shook her head and smiled, despite her disapproval of the joke.

"Goodnight, Korra."

Korra sighed deeply and held Asami closer to her.

"Goodnight."
