This is my first fanfic ever! I just wanted to share what i think of them. Please give it a read.
Mornings are evil. Korra once said.
Korra never really liked mornings. She much prefers sleeping in. Getting that extra few minutes in before her body starts getting restless and demands her to get up. Well, she's out most of the day, dealing with triads, politicians, so she deserves this few minutes of rest damn it! She thought. It's one of those rare mornings where she found herself awake. Already blinking the sleep away. It's still dark outside but she can see the first sun rays creeping in. The cool morning breeze wafted through their bedroom window. Asami stirred and began to shift closer to Korra. Cuddling her. Trying to get as much warmth as possible.
That's when Korra noticed that this was the first time (since they started dating) that she woke up earlier than Asami. Asami has always been an early riser. What with her role as CEO and whatnot. This was also the first time Korra got to witness such unadulterated innocence and contentment on Asami's face.
Korra turned to her side to get a better look. Her eyes traced from Asami's eyebrows down to her lips, trying to commit everything to memory. The tiny beauty mark that sits below her left eyebrow. The small cut on her upper lip. And is that an old piercing mark on her lower lip? All these things that Asami manages to hide carefully with her makeup during the day. All these unique adornments. And Korra was sure that all of these made Asami even more beautiful. Her eyes moved to the closed ones of Asami's. Korra knew the colour, the tone, the shade. It reminded her of the colour of freshly brewed green tea when Asami's sad. Like the coolness of the forest after the rain when she's content. Or like the untouched field in the morning when she's happy. Plus, Korra remembered them all. Besides, it was not only the colour of her eyes that got Korra hooked on. It was also the honesty in those eyes. The kindness. The quiet strength. The righteousness. The fierceness. The love. The love for her when Asami looks her way. The loving admiration for her when she caught Asami staring. She can just drown in that sea of green when Asami looks at her. How her heart clenched when Asami held her gaze even from across the room.
Her hand began to move on its own and started to trace Asami's eyebrows softly. Lovingly stroking it. She remembered how her mom would do that to her when she was younger and she would instantly fall asleep. Oh how Korra wished time would stop just for her at this very moment. Korra closed eyes and began to mindlessly hum.
"Good morning." Asami whispered. Eyes still closed. Her hand came up to stop the tender caresses on her eyebrows. Her other hand began to thread between Korra's brown tresses. Lightly massaging her scalp.
Korra let out a satisfied hum. She laced their fingers together and brought Asami's hand to her lips. Gently kissing them, eyes still closed too.
"Good morning to you too." Korra replied just as softly, fearing that any sudden movement or noise would shatter this peaceful bubble that they had surrounded themselves in.
"How long have you been awake? And what were you doing?"
"Ten minutes. Maybe fifteen? I'm not sure. And I was just admiring the view."
What felt like another five minutes, Korra opened her eyes. What greeted her was the same pair of eyes that she had been worshiping minutes ago. Still, every time, they managed to make Korra breathless. Without thinking, Korra closed the distance between them and gently pressed her lips to Asami's. Next, was her forehead, then her nose, and back to her lips again. It was just to reassure herself that Asami was really here.
"Why are you so exceptionally soft today?" Asami asked, bemusement in her voice.
"You deserve all the softness."
Korra stared right back. Hoping that it was enough of an answer for her actions this morning. It'll be pretty embarrassing to explain it all today.
"May I ask why?" Asami questioned. Eyebrows raised, really intrigued now.
"Just because I love you." Korra replies nonchalantly. Though the blushing redness creeping up her neck and onto her face says otherwise. She averted her eyes from the intense gaze of Asami's.
Asami just chuckled. Totally enamored by Korra. Well, one day I'll ask her again. She then snuggled closer to Korra. Wrapping her arms around her waist. Resting her head on her left shoulder. Nestling her face to Korra's chest, where she can hear the strong constant beat of her heart.
"I love you too Asami." Korra uttered softly when she was sure that Asami had fallen asleep again. Maybe mornings aren't evil after all.
