fuse_boxWHO: Asami and Hei
WHAT: They’ve been on a journey for two months looking for Yin. Now Asami & Hei are killing time while they wait for Korra to return.
[It's just about dusk when Asami arrives at the rendezvous point — a little house at the edge of a tiny Fire Nation village that she's renting for this segment of their journey. They'd taken to renting houses instead of hotel rooms to give them more flexibility and security, so they could separate but always maintain a solid home base. It was inexplicably important to Hei that their journey remain strictly hush-hush.
It was more understandably important to Korra and Asami that nobody found out about their threesomes. The gossip rags would eat that information up and they would none of them get a moment's peace, not to mention the embarrassment of facing their friends. Asami knows how self-conscious Korra is about her sexual history, considering both her parents and her past life never dated anyone else, and even Tenzin had only dated Chief Bei Fong before marrying Pema. Asami tries to tell her that in her thousands of lifetimes, surely one of her past incarnations has been happily promiscuous, but without the ability to communicate with them, they'll never know.
Asami lets herself into the house; she's the first one to make it back. Hopefully Hei or Korra will come soon with better news, with some sign of Yin. None of the people she met knew anything. She sighs, sets her shoes aside, and makes a beeline for the sake.
(They'd been drinking sake that first night, when they were still renting hotel rooms. Korra normally refrained from alcohol, but that night she took two shots. As they were folding up the map, getting ready to separate for the night, Korra leaned over and kissed her. Asami was too tipsy to resist, even though Hei was right there. They kept kissing each other, and their clothes came off, and somehow Hei was naked too and pounding Korra while Korra brought Asami off with her fingers. At some point Hei slipped inside Asami too, and Asami remembers thinking dimly Oh no because it's one thing to be in love with Korra; wanting to share her boyfriend is something else entirely.
They woke up sober, embarrassed, and had sex a few more times before dragging themselves out of bed. Then she and Korra had more sex in the shower so that, by the time they got to breakfast, Asami could hardly walk and couldn't count the number of times she'd come. At breakfast, they all decided to not try and put a label on what happened — or a stop. "We all like sex," Korra said. "Let's just...let it happen." And it did, just about every night they were together. This past week, when they all separated to cover more ground, is the longest she's gone without sex since they started this journey three months ago. She doesn't understand how she used to go months without it.)]

Date: 2015-01-22 12:56 am (UTC)[ Restrictions feed frustrations. It's too easy to feel trapped, miserable in your monogamy. Hei understands that. It was why, when they'd discussed their early arrangement, he'd kept that clause open-ended. Because he understood a time would come when Korra's shyness would fade. When she'd want to spread her sexual wings, to explore. But more than that, because he understood they were ill-matched, and that there were aspects of her life, her psyche, that he'd never be able to soothe or understand. ]
[ It's happened. And if it disorients Hei -- then it's his own fault for his three-year absence. ]
[ He takes her kiss -- and her words -- as what she means them to be. A certainty, in a world of changeable promises and fickle temptations. No unsaid But, the eternal qualifier. There always is one; he's been shaped on this home truth. Everytime there isn't -- everytime she says those words -- something inside him lurches with a seasick incredulity. ]
I know.
[ Quiet voice, his gaze soft as a kiss, and the kiss itself is a fluttery benediction, a braid of Thank you and I love you too woven together without words. The bottomless sadness, he forces below his surface. It'll do no good to admit, But I can never keep what I love. ]
