anatural: Korra and Bolin snuggle (Shippy: Hold me tight)

[Worth it. That better be smug pride and not some weird kind of guilt. Pretty much everything she really likes to do involves getting sore and bruised. This is just something new to add to the list.

She doesn't have the energy to roll off. She puddles against him, her arms wrapped loosely around his neck, her face buried in his shoulder.]


Mmmm.

[She sighs happily, little contented purrs as he strokes her back. Nothing like that first time. She's not afraid of him going cold and pushing her away. Whatever fluke had caused it doesn't seem to be coming back. (If only she knew. But there's no way for her to know unless he tells her, and that's not happening any time soon, is it?)

The sweat quickly cools on her skin, making it pebble and tremble. Her damp hair sticks to her in clumps; some of it gets stuck in her mouth, and she's faced with a dilemma: move her arm to take it out, or keep eating sweaty hair? She goes for a third option, wiggling her jaw and trying to spit it out. Yeah, real sexy, Korra. But the thought just makes her smile against his skin.]


I'm disgusting. [said matter of factly, and with no attempt to do anything about it. She's a pretty do-it-herself person, but right now the only way she's moving is if somebody carries her.]
anatural: Korra is deeply uncomfortable (Awkward: SHIT)

[Oh, Hei. You were doing so well. She had been all languid and content and enjoying the kiss.

And then he just had to swat her backside. She yelps in surprise and abruptly straightens.]


Hey! [She scowls and swats his shoulder.] Don't. Do that.

[It gets the desired effect, though -- she rolls off of him and to her feet. (Wouldn't recommend trying it again, though, unless the goal is to turn her off.) She stretches, sighs, and picks her panties off the floor.

................................................ew.]


You're not hiding one of those laundry box things anywhere, are you? [Because she is not walking home in come-and-spit crusted panties. No. Not happening. Argh, and her shirt probably needs washing too. She doesn't mind getting dirty, but she doesn't want to go home in clothes that shout "Hey I just had sex!" That's not something other people need to know. Particularly Chief Bei Fong.]
anatural: Korra smiles shyly (Happy: Shy smile)

Thanks. [She quirks a smile at him before heading to the shower.

You don't have to be a whipped pathetico or a glorified babysitter, Hei. You could just be a (sometimes) nice guy. Or sensible. Considering Korra's relationship with technology.

She doesn't dawdle in the shower, but she doesn't rush either. The hot water feels blissful on her sore muscles, after the chilly air, and the soap smells like him. Simple little pleasures, the kind she likes best. The events of the past week feel like a distant nightmare. Things will be okay. Things are already okay.

Fifteen minutes later, she walks out of the bathroom, hair dripping, wrapped in a towel. She pokes her head into the kitchen.]


Shower's free, if you want.

[She shivers a little -- the air feels so cold after the warmth of the shower -- and wraps the towel more tightly around her. The smile she shoots him is a little bashful. It's a strangely exotic feeling: standing in his kitchen in only a towel, waiting for her clothes.]
anatural: Korra is sad (sad 19)

[Korra can be a little decadent. Hei also has less hair to wash, though.

While he's in the shower, she takes a seat at the kitchen table. She fingers her hair pieces, but doesn't try to put them back in yet. Her hair's too wet, and she likes having her hair down.

She looks up when he comes back into the kitchen, and her eyes widen in surprise.]


My coat.

[She hesitates before taking it, not knowing what to feel. How did he get it? How long has he had it? Why is he giving it back to her now? Touching it brings up a dizzying rush of memories, most of them painful. She can still taste the fear, the hurt, the shame. She still doesn't understand what happened, and she's already tried asking.

At the same time, that jacket is more to her than just that night. It's a piece of home; it's a piece of who she is. She cradles it to her chest.]


Thank you.
anatural: Korra looks up sadly (sad 17)

[You really need to work on your apologies, Hei. Korra has no idea what he's trying to convey by returning her jacket. He's only managed to give her more confusion. (What does that even mean, I couldn't exactly pawn the thing?) She tries to find some kind of answer in his face, but it's unreadable.]

How long have you had this?
anatural: Korra hugs Naga (Happy: My bff Naga)

[Two days. Well, that's better than two months. She wonders what prompted him to go back for it. Did he see her post about Naga? Was he trying to comfort her? (Coincidence doesn't occur to her. You could say it's because she's still self-centered, but his phrasing certainly didn't help.)

She holds it more tightly against her chest.]


I didn't think I'd ever see it again.

[Not the problem of words. Silence and touch are just as easily misinterpreted. All types of communication are riddled with flaws. It's the problem of being human -- even when you're not fully so.]

Really? [She frowns, confused.] It's pretty early for nest building, isn't it? [Seasons here are a lot different than in the South Pole, which means the animals behave a lot differently too, but still, it doesn't make sense for an animal to start building a nest in the midst of winter.

Figure of speech, what?]

[What? It was a legitimate question. Just be glad it isn't closer to spring, otherwise she would've asked if you made sure to move the nest to somewhere safe. Nests are a lot of work to build.]

Oh. Thanks.

[She raises her hand self-consciously when he mentions her hair. It's pretty gnarly, and still heavy with water. Without her waterbending, she's taken to just letting it air dry.]

I didn't want to use your comb.
anatural: Korra fails at putting on makeup (Awkward: Can't do makeup)

Re: ⊕ action

[personal profile] anatural 2013-01-21 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods and heads back to the bathroom, leaving her jacket on the table.

There's a comb and a... hairdrier? That's what they're called, right? Asami had used one, but Korra never had the patience for them. Why sit still for fifteen minutes doing something that would happen naturally?

She spends some time working through the knots in her hair, then reconsiders the hairdrier. It is pretty cold out... She picks the device up and examines it critically. Flips the switch to turn it on and nearly drops it as her arm is hit with loud hot air.]


Wah!

[She quickly turns it off. Yeah, no, she'll just let it dry itself. She tucks her front two hairpieces in her pocket and pulls her hair back into a simple ponytail before returning to the kitchen.]

How long will my clothes take?

[It's more curiosity than impatience, although it would be nice to wear more than a towel. She doesn't walk around this naked at home, much less at another person's place.]

[Korra's too surprised to even make a sound of surprise. She lets him settle her on his lap, and takes the proffered tangerine slice.]

Thank you.

[What.

Is.

This.

She's not complaining. He's solid and warm and he smells nice. But it's confusing, too. His displays of what could be considered affection are rare. She's not entirely sure what to do with this.

Enjoy it?

She bites into the slice, blushing a little.]

[Children aren't the only people who need care and attention. Everybody does (otherwise they become hard, bitter people like you, Hei). That's what people have family and pets and friends and lovers. In different ways, to varying degrees, everybody needs to feel valued.

She's still a little tense with confusion, but little by little, she settles back against him, letting him feed her. It seems to be a thing with him.

His comment is met with a blank look.]


Huh?

[That....made absolutely no sense to her.]
anatural: Korra gives a dreamy smile (Happy: Day dreamy)

[Korra would play them for him, if she knew how. Or just...care. She knows how to care.

She harrumphs in irritation at his amused look, but the kiss proves an effective distraction, short as it is. When the dryer signals its end, she slides off his lap reluctantly.

But hey, at least her clothes are warm. She drops the towel and quickly shimmies into them, enjoying their heat with a little hum of contentment.]


Thanks again.
anatural: Korra chats with Bolin (happy with my friend bolin)

[The last thing she does is shrug on her jacket. The weight of it is both familiar and not. Hopefully no one will comment on its sudden appearamce, though that doesn't occur to Korra at this moment.

She follows him to the door and lingers, rolling her eyes a little at his words.]


Yes, Dad.

[The ghouls don't scare her. What she's capable of does.

She stands on tiptoe to kiss him quickly.]


See ya.
