She watched the fireworks go off in the distance. Explosions of all kinds of beautiful colors and shapes. Asami had always enjoyed the fireworks at this time of the year. Although never bothered to actually do it herself. She enjoyed watching it more than participating in it. So she stood there. Watching. A glass of red wine in hand.

Memories of the year that had passed came bubbling to the surface. A gentle smile on her lips. So many things had happened. Good and bad. She decided to hold onto the good ones and not dwell on the bad ones. She sipped her wine when an image of Korra came to mind. Along with Tenzin's family. It had happened this December. They were all at Air Temple Island. No special reason. Just a visit. There had not been any snow so far that month. She and Korra were on the ferry with Naga. When the white flakes slowly started to descent from the sky.

Asami loved snow, but mostly from the inside of her warm home. She blamed it on her fire nation side of the family. But that day, Korra convinced her into participating in a snowball fight. Asami agreed, but only if she could be in her team. Korra had agreed and snowballs were flying back and forth in no time. She and Korra tried their best but against four airbending kids, they were quickly buried in snow. Asami became a shivering, teeth chattering mess in the end. She was brought inside quickly put in front of the fireplace, with a warm blanket around her. Korra had settled next to her under said blanket. Even though the blanket did help, it was her girlfriend that warmed her up most of all.

The CEO of Future Industries let out a soft giggle. That hadn't actually been that long ago. Just a few weeks. She put her glass aside and hugged herself. She only wore her sleeping dress for the moment. Her hand that touched the bare skin of her arm brought another memory up. One that made her blush. Korra and she had been together for two years now but this memory had taken place at new year's eve last year. It was the first time that they had been intimate. They were each others first and, boy, they were nervous.

That night wasn't much different from this one. She had been standing near the window, like she did now. When Korra had approached her from behind. Warm hands had touched Asami's bare arms sending a shiver down her spine. Korra's strong arms around her frame. Soft lips kissing her shoulder. They had been together a little over a year back then. Both had their share of alcohol. Not that they were extremely drunk, just tipsy. They had managed to get to the bed while they kissed and removed each others clothes.

Once they stumbled onto the mattress, their nerves got the better of both of them. After some minutes of silly fondling and bumping accidently into one another, they decided it was better to wait until they were both sober. They made up more than once the next morning. Both agreed that it had been worth the wait.

Asami's eyes widened and the faint blush on her cheeks became a darker shade of red. She bit her lip at the memory of their first time together. Korra may be the all powerful Avatar… but in bed she became a whimpering, squirming, moaning mess while Asami's hand (and mouth) worked wonders on her delightful body. On the other hand, the engineer was sure that it was the other way around just as much. The image of Korra's head buried between her pale thighs send a shiver right down her spine and settled between her legs.

Pure thoughts Asami… come on… She took a deep, calming breath. Successfully calming her racing heart. She giggled at her own silliness and looked around the room. Korra's things being scattered all over the place. Boots near the door. Parka thrown over a seat. The Avatar, no matter how powerful, was sloppy. Leaving a mess wherever she went. Asami didn't mind. She was happy to have her girlfriend around no matter the mess she made. It reminded her of the day Korra moved in with her. It had happened in July. The hottest month of the year. The Southerner was all sweaty and her clothes pretty much soaked after she was done. Needless to say, when Korra went to take a shower, Asami joined in. To make sure that every inch of Korra was cleaned properly, of course…

Asami had wanted to pin the Avatar against the shower cabin's wall but Korra wanted nothing of it. She turned the table instead and had Asami pinned against said wall. Her breasts pressed firmly against the stone tiles while a warm hand worked between her legs. Two fingers pumped in and out of her while Korra's teeth had grazed over her bare shoulder.

"Hey sweetie, yuan for your thoughts?"

Asami's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she heard Korra's voice from behind and turned around. "Spirits Korra…!" She said half laughing and tried to ignore her pulsating core as best she could.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you babe." She said with a soft chuckle holding two champagne glasses. A grin showed on those tan lips. "So… what were you thinking of…?" She asked when she noticed the blush on her girlfriend's cheeks.

"N-nothing… is that for me? Thanks..!" She quickly tried to change the topic and took one of the glasses. The edge brought to her lip. Ready to drink.

"No! Wait!" Korra yelped and Asami looked at her girlfriend, confusion all over her face.

"Why? What's the matter? No I'm not telling you what I was thinking…" She said with a smirk. "But I might show you later…" She added on a soft tone.

"What was that last part?" She asked curiously but shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Nevermind…! I didn't want you to drink it cause… well, have you ever seen these glasses? They look amazing!" She said and rose hers up to eye level height.

"Korra, I bought these. So I know what they look like." Asami said amused, sighing deeply but with a smile on her lips. Such a lovely dork… I'll be doing some lady bending tonight. She giggled.

"Yeah but, have you ever -looked- at them, like… really LOOKED at them?" She insisted and with a playful eye roll, Asami decided to humor the Avatar. Raising her own glass so she could look at it.

The champagne was slightly stirring in its crystal container. Bubbles rising up from the bottom. Wait… what's… that? She narrowed her eyes. There was something in her glass? She looked from Korra to the glass and back. No… she… She then decided to empty the glass by slowly drinking it out. The more she drank, the better she could see what was on the bottom. When there was only a little bit left, she stopped. Eyes open wide at what she saw. Still, she couldn't quite believe it. A ring…?!

She looked back at Korra again who was just smiling brightly at the engineer. Her own glass put aside and she took Asami's. Fishing out the piece of jewelry. "We've known each other for some years now…" She started and cleaned the ring with the hem of her top. Taking Asami's left hand in her own. Holding the ring in her right. "We've been together for two years now… the adventures we had… the things we've seen. We felt joy, happiness but also pain and heartache. You were at my side when I reached my lowest point… and I was by your side when you reached yours." She stopped for a moment. Words lost and replaced by pure emotion. Tears shimmered in her eyes and broke free. But these were born from happiness. She slid the ring on Asami's finger and let out a choked sob. "Asami Sato, will you let me love you. Take care of you. Be your shoulder to cry on or the one to make you laugh, until the end of my days?" She paused for a moment and took a shuddering breath before she continued. "Will you marry me…?"

To say she was shocked into silence was putting it mildly. Her mouth was half open. Tears slid down her pale cheeks ever since Korra started speaking. Her free hand clasped over her open mouth. Her heart thundered in her chest and once Korra stopped speaking, all she could do was throw her arms around her girlfriends (or fiancee now) neck. Grinning and sobbing uncontrollably while giving her answer over and over again. "Yes! Yes… Korra, oh Spirits… a thousand times yes!" She pulled back slightly only to close the gap between them again with a deep, passionate kiss.

Korra's strong arms around her frame. The two walked backwards to their bed and fell onto the piece of furniture. Korra laying on her back and Asami straddling her hips. Their lips never broke apart up until the moment Asami needed air. A sharp gasp filled the room and she sat up straight. Giving Korra a perfect view of her body. The engineer bit her lower lip and slowly but surely, she moved her hands to the hem of her sleeping dress. Pulling it up and revealing her lean body to eager sapphires.

Korra sat up straight. Her arms wrapped around Asami's slim hips. Pulling her as close as possible and kissing the pale skin of her torso. Asami's hands then moved to Korra's short hair and moved through it, slowly. Enjoying the silky sensation between her slender fingers. "I know we're not married yet…" She said and let out a soft moan when Korra's hot mouth locked around a pink nipple. "Mhn… b-but… let's pretend this… ahh… is our wedding night already…"

Korra looked up to her bride to be and grazed with her teeth over the erected bud in her mouth, before releasing it. "Sounds perfect…" She purred and with her hand on the back of Asami's head, she pulled her in for another deep kiss. While they kissed, she managed to flip them over and successfully pinned her future wife to the mattress. Clothes were removed and tossed somewhere on the floor, along with the rest of their clothing as their love making continued.

Greetings once again my fellow nerds!
Damn, its been a while, hasn't it? Yeah, it has... I missed you guys!
So yeah, those who joined my discord partly know what's been going on these last few months, those who don't will after today.

Few months back we restarted with our fertility treatment, it went well and my wife (Chanta) was preggos with my alien DNA.
Unfortunately, first month of the pregnancy she was sick, flu got her and due to the pregnancy she couldnt really take any meds.
Second month of the pregnancy.. shit hit the fan...
Chanta was hospitalized on a Sunday afternoon when I recognized the signs of a stroke on her face... (I told her to smile and only half of her face would do that)
She was in the hospital for 2 weeks when she was transferred to another one and stayed there for 1 week.
During the corona outbreak here in Belgium, Chanta was send home since she no longer was a medical emergency and stayed home for several weeks.
We went to the hospital together for the first ultrasound of our lil alien potatoe, but.. its tiny heart had stopped beating and it was the end of our dream once again...

During the night, (and because she also gets bloodthinners due to the stroke she had) her bleedings were so bad that she fainted in the bathroom.
I woke up and found her in a pool of her own blood and called the ambulance once again and they took her along. I couldn't come with them due to the corona crap going on.
They managed to stop the bleeding and she was allowed to come home the next day after treatment.
currently, she's back in the hospital because of her treatment for the stroke she had, she needed thearapy to get her limbs back in working order.
They don't know for how long she needs to stay but it's all going well and they are hopeful she can leave soon.
