The Kiss (Korrasami)

Heart thumping in her chest, the fluttering feeling in the gut, palms moist with sweat; the Avatar thought she was freaking out. Shooting up from her spot on the ground, all she thought about was running away.
“Korra!”
Jyst as the voice called out her name a hand gripped her wrist. She didn’t struggle but she was aware of those watching.
“Korra…” The voice of her dear friend was much softer this time but she still didn’t face her.
Blue eyes skimmed to the right to see the Aye-Aye spirit looking at her.  Sighing, the Avatar turned to face her friend once more- blushing at the sight of green eyes and red stained lips.
“I… I’m sorry, Asami.” The sorrow note in her voice could barely be heard past the two of them and the spirit. “This was supposed to be a ritual of friendship and I messed it up. I don’t know what came over me. I don’t know what I was thinking- it just happened. First thing I know is that we’re sitting in front of each other and then I’m looking at you and-“
“Whoa, easy there Korra. You’re starting to sound like Ikki.” A small smile radiated the Sato’s features. “Let’s just sit back down and continue, okay?”
Hesitant, she nodded. “Alright.”
As they sat back down a sigh escaped the tall spirit. “Are you done now Avatar?”
“Yes, I’m good.” She quickly pouted before assuming the meditating state.
The Aye-Aye spirit continued his chant. Some of his words were a language neither female could understand and others were clear. The other spirits within the area were silent and watched on. Seeing humans in the Spirit world staying for such a long time seemed to intrigue them; they enjoyed the company of Korra and Asami over the past couple weeks.
The ritual continued, this time Korra stayed in her seat, eyes shut. Within just a few moments, she felt an odd sensation. It was a good odd that she was okay with and wanted to embrace it. This was something she and Asami wanted to try out when they heard of it in hopes of being more connected as friends.
The sensation that Korra felt went from mental to more physical. A little amount of pressure pushed softly on her lips. She’s felt this feeling before but it had been so long ago. Once the pressure was gone, she opened her eyes to see Asami’s face so close to her’s. The tint of red was visible on the engineer’s face and she knew it was on her’s as well.
“Asami…”
“Are you two going to keep interrupting?” Aye-aye said with a tinge of annoyance.
The two looked to the spirit before looking back at one another- other still blushing.
“Maybe…” Asami began. “Maybe this was thanks to the ritual.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Yeah, she may be right.” The Avatar smiled her pearly whites.
“The ritual is to help heighten of friendship at newer level. I felt the spiritual connection and it moved me to…” She smiled, blushing again, and looked to Korra. “Kissing you.”
Happiness seemed to well up in her heart. Hands gripped the woman’s in front of her.
Aye-Aye looked between the two before muttering something about humans. He cleared his throat and stood tall. “This concludes the Friendship ritual.”
The spirit’s around the cheered for the two, but they didn’t seem to notice as much. They felt like it was just the two of them.
