willow - dick grayson x reader

pairing: dick grayson x fem! reader

summary: “i’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man”

notes/warnings: basically a month later i’m posting part two and i’m not sure when part three will come out, i’m going on a sort of writing hiatus. also happy valentine’s day!!

-> part of my evermore chronicles series

part one | part two | part three

the sun filtrated through the small opening of your curtains, a small stream of light just barely illuminating dick’s face as he was in deep slumber. you watched him endearingly, not daring to move out of bed as his arm was barely above your waist, not wanting to wake him in anyway as you could only assume how late he came in from his nightly patrol, opting to just admire how at peace he looked. it was a rather large contrast to his recent stressed expression that he bore most nights due to the nightly crime in bludheaven spiking in the last couple of weeks, meaning he never got a break.

you didn’t understand how he did it, how he was able to throw himself into the dangerous situations every night and still pursue not only his job in the day, but helping out with the team in the afternoon. in the just shy of two years that you two had been together, one of them being spent living in your shared apartment, you simply went to your job during the day and helped out with the team once you were done, coming home with dick who would meet up with you while with the team.

it was clear to you that he was certainly overworking himself but he seemed to managed alright, even if you felt that sooner or later, his busy schedule would cause tension in your relationship but for the moment, his frequent days off were always something you looked forward to, being able to spend time with your boyfriend that didn’t involve being in your suits or start at a mission briefing, just being able to have a lazy morning together, like you two were currently having, managed to fix any insecurity you had about the situation.

you had been so lost in thought, absent mindeldly staring at dick’s peaceful face, that you didn’t notice him beginning the stir.

“good morning.” his raspy morning voice pulled you out of your head, fully focusing on his eyes that slowly opened, not going past a squint due to the sun that streamed across them.

“morning sleepy head.” you teased as he groaned slightly, finally being conscious enough to tighten his arm that was loose around your waist, bringing you closer to him. you let yourself be pulled, happy to be close to dick.

he fully acclimated to the light, being able to see your face fully which brought a lazy smile to his lips. you stated into his blue eyes, scooching slightly to bring yourself even closer to him, being able to wrap one of your arms around his lower back. you two stayed like that for awhile, both admiring each other’s early morning features, the disheveled hair, the sleep still evident in your shared gaze.

“how long were you awake for?” dick was the first to break the comfortable silence that had settled between the two of you, gaze softening.

“maybe ten minutes.” you mumbled, bringing your arm that wasn’t wrapped around him to attempt to straighten his hair though with your current position it wasn’t the most comfortable.

“you know you can wake me up right?” he closed his eyes, leaning his head as much as he could into your hand that was in his hair.

“yeah but you need the sleep, i don’t even want to know how late you came in last night.” you brought your hand down, opting to put it under his cheek that was on his pillow.

he leaned into it as you brushed your thumb over his soft skin, both of you staying in that motion for a minute or so before you finally retracted it, turning onto your back to stretch out your limbs.

dick let out a small whine when he realised you were finally taking the lead to get out of bed to start the day, wanting to spend just a few more minutes under the covers.

you rolled onto your side opposite to your boyfriend to finally get out of bed, removing the warm covers from your body definitely meant you felt a little chill go down your spine but you nonetheless resisted the temptation to go back under, instead stretching once again while waiting for your boyfriend to copy you. you let out a breath of relief from feeling your loosen up.

“why is this room so cold?” you heard dick complain, meaning he had most likely gotten the courage to leave the warm blanket.

you turned to face him, an eye roll in his direction as you made your way around to bed to join him once again, though this time you two weren’t restricted by your positions.

you slithered your arms around his waist, seeing dick look at you with a smile as he did the same to yours, happy to have you close to him once more.

“it’s because you always turn the heater off when you come home from patrol, for some reason.” you mumbled the last part, earning a little squeeze from him.

“i have my reasons.” he replied, now his turn to roll his eyes as you finally broke the two of you apart, wanting to get dressed to get your day started.

“wear something nice but comfortable, i have something planned for us.” dick explained, a yawn escaping his lips as he gave you the instructions for whatever he had decided that the two of you would do together.

“sounds good.” you gave him a thumbs up before heading to your side of the dresser to find some clothes that matched his description, excited for what was to come, even if it remained a mystery to you.

you two had fallen into a habit of planning surprise dates, wether it be when one of you felt that you two hadn’t been spending much time together, or when you felt like a nice day was ahead and wanted to take advantage of it, or even the day before a special one, making whatever occasion a two day event.

that was just one of the aspects of your relationship with dick grayson that you loved, it was a nice way to turn any mundane day into one of quality time spent side by side. often the dates were nothing special but the surprise aspect elevated whatever activity was planned.

you remember dreaming of what a relationship with the raven haired boy would be like, and now that your dream was finally coming true, you felt like every day was better than the last and often wondered how long this feeling would last. would the effect die down at some point? would it stagnate? would it amplify over time? your questions could only be answered by time.

though you loved the relationship you had with him, the idea of staying forever with him somehow frightened you, afraid that giving yourself the idea that it could happen could only lead to disappointment and heartbreak. putting any expectation into the duration of the love you two had for each other was a cause for disaster, expectations only lead to disappointment, a lesson you were terrified of learning. dick was never known for staying with someone too long, and you were afraid that you were no exception to it, you were afraid that projecting yourself into a future with him would just be yourself projecting into a fantasy.

no matter how much your fears and doubts plagued your thoughts and mind when you were alone, when you found yourself next to your boyfriend they all seemed to vanish, almost as if he was the cure to all of your problems while simultaneously being the cause of it.

dick’s surprise date ended up being a lovely picnic date in a nearby park, something so completely out of character and unexpected from him but you nonetheless loved it. he made a couple of sandwiches and had bought fresh fruit the other day, along with a lovely picnic basket that was most likely never to see the light of day again but for the moment, it would serve its purpose.

he had packed all the food neatly inside, making sure to grab some water for the both of you. you hadn’t seen what he was doing until he was doing until you made your way into the kitchen, taking your time in the bathroom to get dressed and make yourself look presentable while he was still in his pyjamas.

dick had insisted on carrying the basket containing your brunch as well as the blanket you were planning to sit on, telling you that it was his duty was the date organiser to take care of everything while you just enjoyed yourself. you nodded, simply taking his spare hand into yours as he lead you down a short fifteen minute walk to a decent size park, with beautiful green grass and a plethora of trees that offered shade on this surprisingly sunny day.

the park was mostly empty omit a family or two that were enjoying a nice day out, a couple of children running around, maybe the odd dog walker, but other than that, the chirping of the birds and the soft wind that passed through the leaves were the sounds that filled your ears.

you took your spot under a decently sized english oak, the foliage being large enough to be fully in the shade to avoid being blinded by the sun. when you two finally arrived under the tree that dick pointed out as a perfect spot for the picnic, he told you to stand back as he attempted to take the blanket and set it out himself, realising that making it perfectly flat was a rather difficult task to take on alone.

giggling slightly at his attempts, he sheepishly asked you to lend a hand, finally giving in to his whole “i do everything, you enjoy” policy to not continue to make a fool out of himself. as desperately as you wanted to continue to see him struggle more, you could feel your stomach rumbling as you got hungrier by the minute so you grab the two opposite ends of the blanket and stretched them out.

when you two finally sat down, he eagerly took out the food and set it up around the both of you, giving you the choice to start with whatever you wanted.

the date went by, the sandwiches were quickly scarfed down by the two of you, dick eating most of them, conversations were shared on various topics, wether it be about your week or a memory that came to mind. the whole thing was a perfect way to finallt spend time together and relish in each other’s presence.

“this was wonderful, thank you.” you whispered as your head laid on his shoulder, stomach finally appeased and full. you two were both observing a nearby family play together on one of the only swing sets the park had to offer. you were just admiring how adorable the young children looked but you didn’t doubt that your boyfriend was fantasising about you two, one day, being in a similar place, with children that drove you crazy but always managed to tug at your heartstrings, a perfect and loving family. some part of you hoped that the thought wasn’t crossing his mind, not being able to project yourself past the next couple of months, but dick grayson wasn’t known to not think about his future. it scared you in a way, scared of not meeting his expectations and scared of disappointing him when he realises that your minds worked differently.

“you’re welcome.” he turned his head slightly to stare at you endearingly for a moment or so, smiling slightly to himself after he tore his gaze away from you.

you sighed slightly, moving around a bit as you started to find your position uncomfortable, opting to lie down on the ground with your head in his lap. dick had looked at you weirdly as you kept switching around but let out a hearty laugh at the hum of content that you let out as you finally found the perfect spot.

you rolled your eyes, pouting slightly at his mocking actions which in turn just caused him to laugh more, the opposite reaction of what you wanted. your pout didn’t leave your lips until dick’s laugh finally died down, bending over to gently place his lips onto yours. you didn’t hesitate to kiss back, your fake resentment vanishing in mere seconds.

in that very moment, any fears or doubts vanished and god did you wish this carefree, in love feeling could fill your every waking hour.

Every one of us relies on water from the wells, because mankind has polluted all the lakes and rivers. but do you know why the well water is pure? It’s because the trees of the wastelands purify it! And you plan to burn the trees down? You must not burn down the toxic jungle! You should have left the giant warrior beneath the earth!

Could u do #33 for suki, thx your amazing!

the story - suki x fem!reader

pairing: suki x fem!reader

warning: none i think ???

notes: holy shit there is so much conan gray on my top 100 and by this point, i’ve done almost all of th kid krow songs this is hilarious.

and when i was younger, i knew a girl and a girl, best friends with each other,

you heard her laugh and suddenly your heart was doing summersaults like it always did when you heard it, no matter how long you had known her, no matter how much you had a heard it, you never got sick of it. there was just something about it, maybe it was just the sound of it or maybe it was knowing that the girl who had your heart was happy.

“you should’ve seen the other guy’s face, i-” sokka retelling of something that had happened to him while he was visiting the south pole got cut off by suki spotting you enter the jasmin dragon, eyes wide with excitement.

“y/n!” she waved to you, helping you locate your friends in the beautiful tea shop even if it wouldn’t have been difficult to do yourself considering your friends weren’t the quietest group of teenagers but it didn’t matter, it was a part of why you loved them dearly.

“hey guys.” you shyly greeted everyone as you finally reached them in the back of the building, not bothering to individually reply to everyone saying their hellos to you as suki shooed zuko that was sitting next to her, making a spot right next to the kyoshi warrior available. you mumbled a sorry to the new firelord but he dismissed it with a knowing smile.

“did you get lost?” suki whispered to you as sokka took the silence that had settled once you found your spot as an inventation to continue his tale, the girl now disinterested in the boy’s story now that you were here, eager to talk with you as you hadn’t been together all day, opting to try and find some of your relatives that you knew lived in ba sing se.

“no, just didn’t see time go by.” you whispered back, turning your head ever so slightly to answer the girl before pretending to listen to sokka’s story, staying silent as everyone interjected, asking questions in order to know more.

“was it fun?” after a couple of minutes of trying to pay attention in his story, suki gave up, wanting to talk to you again as she had missed you dearly throughout the day, not being used to spending that much time without you. being attached at the hip ever since you joined the kyoshi warriors meant you two stuck together through thick and thin, not being complete without the other being near them.

“it was! turns out i have like five cousins here but a couple of them moved to omashu.” you both turned your heads at the same time, fully investing yourselves into your side conversation rather than the one sokka was telling.

“do you think you’ll want to go visit them?” she tucked her loose hair behind her ear. you admired how beautiful her bare face looked, not always getting the possibility to see it for more than a couple of minutes before she’d go to bed or right before she got ready for the day. although you thought her kyoshi warrior makeup looked absolutely badass on her, you couldn’t help but appreciate the natural beauty that laid behind it.

“not sure, kind of have a job. it’s called being a kyoshi warrior, not sure if you’ve heard of it.” you teased, earning a playful eye roll and a shove from the girl, the smile never leaving her face.

“come on y/n, it could be fun!” she insisted, her voice going a bit higher than the rather discreet whispers you had been exchanging.

“what could be fun? what are you two talking about?” both of your heads snapped to whoever had intercepted their conversation, eyes landing on sokka with a huge smirk on his lips as everyone was staring at the two of you causing a blush to dust your cheeks while suki remained unphased.

“y/n has some more family in omashu.” suki explained, making you want to sink further into your chair once you realised this meant that instead of sokka carrying the conversation between the majority of the gaang, you were now the one who everyone’s eyes were on.

“you visited some family here right?” katara was the first to ask you questions, making you dread what you knew was coming. luckily for you, suki noticed your uneasiness and interlocked your pinkies under the table, a habit you had both picked up back when you were training and someone was nervous, it sticking between the two of you. simply having her pinkie against yours brought on a surge of confidence that seemed to appear out of thin air and all of sudden, you didn’t mind being the center of attention for a little while.

but always wished they were more, cause they loved one another,

“boo.” you heard a voice whisper in your ear, pulling you out of whatever dream currently was taking place in your slumber. your eyes shot open, being immediately met with blue eyes glinting with mischief.

“got y’a.” she smirked as she stood up fully, no longer leaning over your face in order to wake you up rather suddenly. you rubbed the sleep out of your eyes as leaned up on both your elbows, narrowing your eyes at your friend that took you out of your peaceful state.

“what the hell was that for?” you whined, voice still groggy for only being awake for mere seconds. before she could answer, you got yours as you simply registered what her face was decorated with. the white makeup that caked her face along with the red and black that surrounded her eyes was all you needed to realise you most likely overslept on what you thought was your day off.

“shit.” you mumbled, throwing the cover off as you stood up, suki moving out of the way to watch you scrambled around the room for your uniform as you were still in your pajama’s. arms crossed, same smirk on her face but it slowly morphed into one of adoration as she watched you mumbled curses under your breath as you wiggled into the kyoshi warrior uniform.

“why did you not wake me up earlier?” you asked in disbelief, not bothering to turn around so she could the annoyance on your face as you rushed to the bathroom to apply your makeup.

“don’t know, it was funny that you didn’t wake up to the bell. and i mean you did look too peaceful to bother.” the last part was mumbled as for you to not catch onto her feelings, she followed you to where you going, making sure to grab your headpiece and your fans as you left them behind.

“very funny suki.” you rolled your eyes as you went through your makeup routine as fast as possible. knowing you were too focused on getting it done as fast as possible with as much as accuracy, she let herself admire the way your tongue stuck out in concentration, the way your eyes narrowed in concentration.

“i must admit, it was a bit hilarious.” you sighed in relief as you put the last touch of the black eyeliner, putting the lid back on the pot before patting yourself down in order to make sure you hadn’t forgotten anything important to your uniform. once you realised you didn’t feel your fans or your headpiece you felt your heartrate pick up.

“shit, my fans.” you mumbled as you turned around. taking a few steps to take your missing pieces before finding your friend in your path, headpiece and fans in her hands, the second sigh of relief escaping your lips in the last couple of minutes.

“you’re a life saver.” you grabbed the headpiece and turned your head slightly to make sure it was placed perfectly on your head before taking the fans and placing them right where they belonged.

“i know, now come on we’re late.” she grabbed your wrist, erasing her love stricken face for a more friendly one before leading the two of you to your posts for the day, not too far from the firelord’s chamber.

but never discovered, cause they were too afraid of what they'd say

“hey y/n.” zuko greeted you as he stepped into his office, delighted to see you were the one currently on watch while he was working, happy to have a friend keep him company even if it was silently.

you simply nodded to the firelord, making sure to keep it professional as you were on duty as his bodyguard. you two may have escaped the boiling rock together, somehow talking so much during your arrest by azula that she ended up throwing you in there with suki, and you two may have ended the hundred year war but now he was the man you were supposed to be protecting and not your friend.

a couple of hours passed in silence as you kept your hands behind your back, the only noise being the turning of pages and the scribbling of notes by the firelord along with the casual chirp of the birds that flew around the garden bringing a small smile on your lips at the nice surprise.

“listen y/n, i know you’re supposed to be professional and all but, i’ve got to ask, what’s going on between suki and you?” this time the surprise wasn’t the lovely song of a native bird but of your friend asking a question that you hoped you never had to answer.

“suki is my fellow warrior, firelord.” your face didn’t waver from the stoic expression you had, the firelord’s inquisitive one being met with a wall of years of training.

“y/n, as firelord, is anything happening between suki and you? you’re in my castle so everything i say goes.” he insisted, watching your face drop, your eyes stating on your feet as you thought of the answer, not knowing if this was the place to finally open up to someone.

“and as your friend too.” he added, his gaze softening as to make sure you didn’t feel too intimated by it.

“i don’t know, i’ve just. all my life suki and i have been best friends but i just, i wished she was more than one.” your voiced dimmed throughout your answer, surprised at how easy it was to coax that out of you.

“you know she likes you too right? i mean it’s so obvious by the way she just becomes all soft inside at the sight of you.” zuko teased, his arm placed above the head of the chair so he could place his chin on it to watch your face more closely, not talking to you in a friendly way for awhile.

“she doesn’t, i know she doesn’t.” your eyes didn’t move but you noticed that your grip on your fans tightened.

“won’t hurt to try?” hope laced in his words as he still waited for your expression to change, knowing that a simple sentence of three words would resolve years of buried feelings between suki and yourself

“actually it would sir, it would ruin our friendship and she’d say the opposite of what you say.” you finally looked up, hoping that he’d catch onto you wanting to drop the subject.

“y/n-" he tried to reason but was cut off by a rather demanding tone that he’d never heard come from you before, a slight surprise in his eyes at the side of you he hadn’t seen yet.

“now if you wouldn’t mind firelord, i’d like to do my job.” it didn’t waver, no emotions could be perceived through the tone that you used, indicating that you didn’t want to go any further and thankfully for you, zuko dropped the subject with a sigh and turned back to his work, letting the silence take over again.

moved to different states

“y/n, you can’t leave!” suki argued, stopping in her tracks as you dropped the news of your planned departure as you two walked towards the throne room where the firelord had asked you to be stationed during a meeting with international leaders.

“can we talk about this later? zuko’s waiting for us.” you stopped and turned your head around, slight annoyance in your gaze as your friend was a few steps behind you. you continued to make your way down the hallway as you heard her hurried steps, you first felt happiness as this meant she was ready to focus on your task at hand but you felt her hand grip your wrist, now causing the both of you to stop.

“no! y/n, the kyoshi warriors need you! i need you.” she pleaded, feeling herself stress at the idea of being separated from you, not being able to see your face that always made her day better, not being able to make you laugh just to hear what she thought was the most wonderful sound in the world. despite constantly having to push down her romantic feelings for you, she’d rather hurt her heart than see you leave.

“suki, you and i both knew that just behind a bodyguard isn’t what i want to do, i know it’s kyoshi’s honour to guard the firelord now but i just feel unfulfilled.” you sighed before deciding to have the much needed conversation with her now instead of later, figuring that getting it out of the way would be beneficial for the both of you.

“we’re not going to be here forever!” she kept her grip on your wrist, afraid that letting you go physically would mean letting you go forever.

“but then we’re just guards for the rest of our lives! that may be something for you but when zuko started talking to me about the possibility of going down to the new developing cities in the old colonies and helping in their development just sounded like something i’d finally want to do.” you explained, just thinking about starting a new life in a town that was just getting on its feet was enough to make the ghost of a smile appear on your face, needing to be on your own, not being able to deal with what you thought were unrequited feelings for your childhood best friend.

“if thatll make you happy.” she mumbled, finally taking her eyes off of yours, not wanting you to see the hurt in her eyes at the prospect of you feeling that your job was pointless, and having to wake up without seeing your adorable sleepy face. her grip loosened.

“it will.” your eyes softening, trying to find hers again as you put one of your hands in one of hers, squeezing it slightly in hopes that it’ll comfort her.

“then that’s great.” she finally looked up, trying her hardest to blink back tears as you kept your fingers interlocked with hers, deciding to make your way to the firelord’s throne room hand in hand for what was most likely the last time.

Just so you know, that wedgie anon is very weird and they have sent asks like that to multiple people about both Korra and Kuvira. I'm pretty sure they get off on asking at this point and if you do prompts/story requests they are likely to ask for that next. I'd not further interact with them. -Signed someone who's had to deal with them before.

that’s a good heads up! thank you, i was very much weirded out by that and i’ll make sure to delete any related messages if i see them in my inbox, once again, thank you so much

For the Spotify writing could you do 50 for Korra

ms. california - korra x reader

pairing: korra x reader (gender neutral)

wc: 1.8k

notes/warnings: nothing here folks :)

i love your voice but hate the way, you talk of her consistently

you heard the boats coming in before you saw them, you heard the cheers erupting from a small crowd that had formed around the south pole’s dock, all flocking to catch a glimpse of their avatar coming home. while everyone’s excitement stemmed from seeing what was essentially a hero, you were just excited to finally see your oldest friend whom you hadn’t seen since she had left to go back to republic city after spending time healing with master katara in the south pole.

excitement cursed through your veins at the prospect of seeing your best friend after years of being separated as you ran to mix in with the crowd of natives welcoming one of their own home.

your heart swelled once you finally spotted her, standing proudly at the front of the ship, her mother placed right next to her as they both waved at the crowd. you noticed her newly cut hair that you had only seen in recent varrick industries movers, it looked even better on her in person.

you pushed your way through the crowd, excusing yourself as you bumped into several people, most of them unphased as they kept their gaze on the master of all four elements. you didn’t stop moving until you found yourself next to tonraq, a man who had served as almost a second father to you ever since you were a toddler. your father being one of the water bending masters that kept an eye on korra growing up, meaning you grew up alongside her at the white lotus compound.

“hey y/n, excited?” the chief asked as soon as he noticed your presence next to him, keeping his eyes on his daughter that was fast approaching.

“yes sir.” cheers got louder as the boat finally stopped, chief tonraq invited you to join him as he walked towards the boat, the guards he had enlisted letting you pass in order to join him.

when your eyes met here as she started coming down, you felt a smile grow on your features as you watched her face mirror yours, two old friends finally reuniting.

unexpectedly, korra picked up the pace and wrapped you in a hug as soon as she got near you, taking you by surprise.

“i missed you.” she exclaimed as you were returning it, happy to once again be in her arms. her large coat was soft to the touch but she smelled rather foreign, most likely due to the fact that was living in a bustling city. the sound of her voice was something you didn’t expect to miss so much but now that you finally heard it for the first time in months, you didn’t want to ever go without it again.

“missed you too.” you squeeze her slightly before you two finally broke apart, grins still on your faces as you both eyes each other up and down in order to see if there were any noticeable changes in each other’s appearance.

a little later during the day, after following korra revisit her home town you ended up having dinner at her childhood home. swapping not only childhood stories but also catching up on the things you had missed and that’s when when you found out about her.

one question was asked and suddenly, that’s all korra could talk about, all of her recent experiences being completely thrown out the window to talk about things her girlfriend, asami, had been doing, how her company was doing, some new invention she had come up with in the later hours of the night, a funny thing she had said, everything that was coming out of the avatar’s mouth had something to do with her.

you tried your hardest to engage in the conversation, finding your heart melt at how she talked about asami with so much love and amazement. her eyes sparkled in a way you had never seen them and you felt your heart sting a bit knowing that she’d never talk about you that way, that her eyes would never lit up at the sheer mention of your name. after a couple of minutes of enduring it, you retracted to your own thoughts, letting tonraq and senna interact with their daughter.

but every time you say her name, it honestly kills me

to help digest your food, and because korra insisted she wanted to, you both went on a walk after you finished eating some delicious homemade noodles. the cold didn’t both you as much as you were bundled under your coat, happy to find that outside the sky was clear, no signs of a snow storm in sight.

“sorry, i talked a lot back there.” she immediately said once she stepped out of her home to join you, excusing herself for being the center of attention at her own celebratory dinner.

“you realise that you haven’t been home in ages, and you’re the avatar, you’re the only one with any real stories to tell.” you joked as you started leading her in a random direction, knowing the whole area like the back of your hand meant that no matter where you two went, you wouldn’t get lost.

“come on, life here isn’t that boring.” she laughed lightly at your comment, following you closely so she wouldn’t get lost.

“you’d be surpised.” she rolled her eyes, not believing for one second that her best friend who always loved to live life to the fullest was admitting to living such a monotonous one.

“my dad told me you started teaching people waterbending which means you’re a real master now, that’s cool!” she nudged you lightly, causing a small smile to tug at your lips at the compliment on the full mastering of your skill, something that you were incredibly proud of.

“yeah, it’s not what i plan to do forever but it’s fun.” you shrugged your shoulders slightly before you two fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound between you being the trudging of your boots in the snow and the usual night sounds.

“but i could totally beat your ass, water or all elements, you don’t stand a chance.” you spoke up defiantly while simultaneously holding a joking tone in your words making her stop in her tracks.

“is that so? i’d love to see it.” she placed her hands on her hips as her eyes jokingly narrowed in your direction, thankfully you were still close enough to people’s houses to have some light letting you see her hilarious facial expression that looked identical to the one she used to wear when she was younger.

“how about tomorrow? we can even invite your parents so they see how weak the avatar actually is.” you teased as you suddenly felt the snow beneath your feet shift, causing you to fall backwards. quickly reacting, you brought snow up around the both of your arms to propel yourself forward, directing the snow directly at your friend as soon as your feet were flat on the ground.

korra brought her arms up to stop the snow from hitting her before letting it go limp and drop the ground.

“damnit, i would’ve loved to catch you off guard.” she whined, finally walking up to you after having let you walk by yourself a short distance.

“korra, you called me a master not two seconds ago, did you not think i’d be able to react to that?”

“listen, i didn’t think this through.” she rose her hands up in defence as you laughed, shaking your head at how much your friend could be idiotic when she wanted to.

“no kidding.” your comment earned a gust of air being bent in your face, causing your hood to fly backwards and your face going cold.

you narrowed your eyes at her as she simply stuck her tongue out childishly, causing you to laugh at how immature she was.

“i sure hope your city friends also get to deal with this side of you, would be a shame if they didn’t.” you managed to say once your laughter died down, being met with playfully offended avatar with her arms crossed as she observed you laughing with a quirked eyebrow.

“actually, asami says i’m pretty mature.” she stated matter of factly and you felt your happiness falter slightly at the mention of her girlfriend, wishing you could just go back to five minutes ago when you weren’t reminded of the fact that korra was living a completely different life to yours, one that didn’t involve spending it with you but with some supposed beautiful and genius inventor.

she's your girl, she's in all your pictures. california girl, i wish i was her

the following day, after tiring each other out sparring, you both headed back to her house as she mentionned wanting to show you some pictures she had of her life in republic city. you had barely seen certain staples of it like air temple island and the aang statue inside of books but never anything more.

“this is the spirit portal in the middle of the city.” you had seen numerous times the southern portal but there was something about the new one that made it stand out, while trying to figure it out, you spotted her, tall, long black hair, looking adoringly at korra who was talking to some officiel and you knew right then and there that was asami.

as korra showed you pictures of the pro bending arena, more in depth ones of air temple island, the spirit vines and in practically all of them you could see her, her whole presence seemed elegant, you could tell why korra had fallen for her.

when you're gone, she sleeps in your t-shirts

“shit i forgot my shirt.” korra mumbled as she frantically searched through the bag for her night shirt as you watched her from the other side of the room.

“don’t you have some here?” you suggested, looking around her room to maybe see one laying around but you knew that senna kept the room nice and tidy while her daughter was away.

“probably, hopefully asami is making use of it.” korra shrugged her shoulders before abandoning her bag on the ground, making her way to her crate where she kept all of her older clothes, grabbing the first one that came in between her fingers before facing you again, excited to have a sleepover like you always used to have.

“yeah, hopefully.” you mumbled, staring at the small fire that korra had lit for extra warmth, wishing that maybe in another life you weren’t just korra’s childhood friend, maybe you two actually got together, maybe if you had followed her to republic city instead of staying home afraid of being reprimanded by your parents for disobeying orders, maybe everything would’ve been different.

it hurts, i wish i was her, ms california.
