Chapter Text
The way Asami's eyes lit up sparked such an intense feeling in Korra's chest that she felt like she would just burst from giddiness. The wonder-filled sensation that was bubbling up inside of her made her smile brightly at how happy her girlfriend looked.
Asami grabbed hold of Korra's hand. She intertwined their fingers together and took a moment to soak in the way that the lights on the lake's shore glistened across the water's surface. The moon's reflection rippled captivatingly as Asami squeezed Korra's hand in her own and turned to look at her with that soft look in her eyes.
"Wanna get in?" Korra nearly laughed when Asami nodded with a smile full of teeth.
She helped her girlfriend in and then, stepped down into the boat shaped like a turtle-duck herself. As they settled in and allowed the boat to drift them along the lake peacefully, Asami cuddled up to Korra and closed her eyes. Her smile was graceful and serene. Korra gently ran her fingers along her silky hair and leaned against Asami's head as her girlfriend slid in to be held protectively by her.
Sighing contently and holding onto Korra, Asami slowly fluttered her eyes open to peer up at Korra. She opened her own eyes to meet Asami's and gave her a lopsided grin that made Asami smirk fondly back at her.
"This is really beautiful, Korra," she expressed gratefully. "The boat, the lake..." She smiled more kindly and added affectionately, "You. Everything's just... perfect."
A blush spread across Korra's cheeks as Asami began to trace her finger along Korra's bicep. She looked up at her and chuckled. "I'm really happy," she told her.
Korra pushed a few strands of Asami's hair back behind her ear. She placed a hand to her girlfriend's cheek and looked at her adoringly as she responded with, "Making you happy makes me happy, too."
Asami pinkened and snuggled up into Korra. Korra wrapped her arms around her and kissed the top of her head, causing Asami to hum with placidity as they continued to drift across the shimmering lake.
