Notes:
This chapter is told by Korra's POV
Chapter Text
"Listen up Kids,I know your probably scared." Lin said looking across all of us sternly, "But you'll be fine. This is our first game for the champion ships." All of us watched her and nodded."Anything else we should know coach?"Zhu-li asked her after a long pause. Coach looked at her,"Just remember your basics. Oh And we have a new player." Somebody behind Me groaned and whisper yelled," Why are we adding a new player right before the game?!" Lin's eyes scanning for where the remark came from,Shooting daggers though everyone she made eye contact with. "My niece will be joining us. Kuvira come here." She growled. Suddenly the door from the dugout to the outside bleachers opened and in walked a girl with play skin, jade green eyes, and Long black hair tied up in a long braid that ran down her back.She was already wearing the uniform,Black ball pants, a maroon jersey with the number 08 on the back and Beifong above it. She was easily the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I mentally slapped myself.
get your shit together Korra.You don't know her.She probably doesn't like girls anyway.
She must have noticed me staring because she walked straight up to me. "I'm Kuvira. It's nice to meet you." She said sticking her hand out for me to shake. I took it and firmly shaked her hand."Korra.Welcome to the team." She beamed at me, " glad to be here." A hand clamped down on my shoulder, I turned to see Lin. "Hey coach. Everything ok?" "Everything's fine.Seems like you two already met,Thanks for saving me an introduction"Me and Kuvira both looked at her dumbfounded," All my pitchers this season have been assigned a catcher.I partnered Kuvira with you."
oh no.fuck fuck fuck.
"I assume I'm catching?" Kuvira asked looking Lin directly in the eye.(something most players wouldn't do mind you)Lin looked at both of us with a small smile," Yes but if needed you and Korra may switch out if she gets tired.After this game, we have a few days til the next game you will both spend everyday together. get to know each other inside and out.The relationship between a pitcher and her catcher."
a pitcher and her catcher. I'm so screwed.oh well.
"How long til the game aunt Lin?" Kuvira asked.Lin stood there looking down at her watch," about 30 minutes.Korra you and Kuvira go and get warmed up. Don't lallygag." I nodded and grabbed my glove.Kuvira grabbed my wrist and took off running to the batting cage next to the field.
She's touching me holy shit she's touching me.
She stopped in front of the cage and turned to look at me. I froze. She stared at me and smirked.She waved her hand in my face,"Yo Kor, you good?"She said concern lacing her voice.I felt the color rise to my face realizing how close she was to me,"Yea im f-fine."She smirked again and stepped closer,"Are you sure?"
panic panic panic
"Uh t-totally...let's get warmed up." I said taking a step back.Which only prompt her to step forward yet again."Since Lin's going to be a pain in my ass about this whole pitcher and catcher thing wanna come over later so we can get to know one another." I thought about it,Was it smart to go over to this gorgeous woman's house?Do I even want to? Yes yes I do very much so. Without giving it a second thought I smiled,"sure" She smiled at me I'm so fucked. and not the way you would like mind you.oh shut up subconscious. We got inside the batting cages and I started warming up.I've learned that's its better to be accurate before adding speed.Lucky for me I could sneak glances at the other teams pitcher while she warmed up.She was good but she seemed to lean more towards speed instead of accuracy which can be a good or bad thing.It could be good that some of us would get walked but bad because somebody could get hit if they weren't careful.
~30 minutes later~
"Since we are the home team we are fielding first, Korra pitcher, Kuvira Catcher,Zhu-li First base, Asami-Short stop." Lin faded out as she was telling everybody else their positions for this inning.I grabbed my glove, face guard, and walked to Kuvira who seemed to be struggling a bit to get on her catcher gear."Need some help?"I offered.She looked up and nodded.I knelt down in front of her fixing her shin guards.Then stood up and fixed the rest of her gear.As reality sat back in I smirked as I heard her breathe hitch," ready to go kick some ass?"I asked with a crooked grin."Hell yea I am!"We all jogged out onto the field, and warmed up. The girl at third base, Kylie I think was her name was was throwing the ball around with the other infielders.We practiced for 5 minutes before the Ump yelled "batter up" and brought me the game ball.
I looked at the batter she was around 5'5 with short black hair and yellowish-green colored eyes.(its opal if that wasn't clear)I made eye contact with her, then Kuvira.She nodded and took a deep breathe in. I looked directly at Kuvira's glove and let the ball fly adding a little bit of speed and smiled when the ump yelled "STRIKE" The batter ended up getting too second base before she got out trying to steal a base.Two outs later we were up to bat.The line up went Kiley,Me,Kuvira,Asami,Then Zhu-li.The same girl from earlier was on the mound.With a good luck awkward sideways hug,Kylie walked up to the plate. She ended up Hitting a double.I shook off my nerves and walked up to the plate.You got this.I made eye contact, nodded to the pitcher and she let one fly.It whirred past my face and the ump yelled "BALL" in my ear.The coach called a timeout and I stepped out of the box and walked over to the circle.Where Kuvira happened to be standing.I talked to her until the ump signaled for us to continue the game.
I got up to the plate, I could hear Kylie cheering me on from 2nd base.As I walked up I got a strongly bad feeling but I couldn't place what it was.She got up to bat and the pitcher let one fly.Her eyes widen, she knew what the bad feeling was but before she had the chance to react the ball hit the inside of her right knee.It was as if the pitcher threw it as hard as she could but instead of going into the glove it hit Korra's knee.I heard a loud CRACK.
I cried out and fell expecting to hit dirt.Instead I fell into a pair of muscular arms,I looked up to see Kuvira looking down at me with her gorgeous jade eyes filled with worry."Oh my god! Korra are you ok?!" I smiled and tried to stand up only to fall, only to fall into Kuvira's arms once again." Hey I've got you.Let me help."And so it went she helped me up too the bench of the dugout. Lin ran to me and started to pull my ball pants leg up.I hissed, and she paused. I nodded for her to continue while I felt warm slender fingers intertwine with mine.I turned and looked to see Kuvira sitting next to me.I looked back down as Lin pulled my sock down and gasped.There was blood and a big dark bruise covering the whole right side of my knee.All 3 of us gasped, along with the rest of the team that was in the dugout.
Even Kylie waited until the Ump called time out, to run to the dugout while the players of the opposing team took a knee.Lin sighed in front of me," I hate to do this but ill pulling you from the game." I started to protest but she cut me off,"Kuvira take Korra to hospital to get her knee checked out." Kuvira stood up and nodded," Can someone help me? I need someone to carry the ball bags." Kylie walked over and picked both of them up,"Kylie you can't your a runner." She smiled at me,"Asami is a faster runner than me.Plus I don't think anybody will miss me."I nodded and then Kuvira walked to me.She bent down holding my good knee closest to her, one hand under both and one on my upper back. Carrying me bridal style all the way to the car.When we got there Kylie put the bag in the back seat of and then headed off to the hospital.
As she carried me out,I offered to use the crutches to which her exact response was,"I don't mind. Anything for you" The drive from the hospital to Kuviras apartment was only 10 minutes.When they got their Kuvira helped her out by picking her up.Their faces so close to each other until She started walking.My arms went around her neck and I hurried my face into her shoulder to keep from falling.When we got in the apartment, into the living room. I pulled my face from her shoulder and looked into her eyes.I froze.
For a moment we just sat their gazing into each others eyes, until she walked forward. Causing me to jerk forward, lips smashing together finally releasing all the tension that had been building up since the moment they layed eyes on each other.When she walked forward my back hit a wall as she kissed me back.We pulled back only to a knock at the door.......

Chapter Text
*she stepped forward causing Korra to go forward and kiss her. AND SHE KISSED BACK!!*
-------------------------------
She walked back pushing Korra up against the wall, still holding her up. Korra let out a light sigh as her tongue traced along my bottom lip…
Then there was a knock at the door
At that time Kuvira flew back looking at Korra with the same expression she had.Consciously we both started leaning forward again until that damn knock came again.
“KUVIRA GET YOU ASS UP AND OPEN THE DOOR!”called an unfamiliar voice from the other side of the door.Korra looked at the door then back at Kuvira who looked like she had seen a ghost.
“Kuvira set me down and go answer it. I’ll be ok”She looked at Korra with uncertainty in her eyes.
She sat her down and walked to the door.She turned to look at Korra with something that wasn’t there before. She looked scared,before a stone-like facial expression. Kuvira took in a deep breath and opened the door.
“Took you fucking long enough.Would you like to explain why I had to wait so long?”The mysterious girl added.Kuvira rolled her eyes before a loud smack rang out in the silence. “Don’t you roll your eyes at me or you’ll regret it.” Kuvira turned to look at Korra and mouthed “hide”.Korra nodded briefly while the girl grabbed Kuvira’s chin and yanked it to face her, “Look at me when I speak to you.” Korra stood there unable to move.
Who the hell was this girl? Why was she here? Why is she acting this way towards Kuvira?
Korra was drawn out of her thoughts by the girl's voice again, “Did you really think that I wouldn’t find you? You are mine and You were told not to leave.”
Mine? What did she mean by that?
“S-Su please leave,”Kuvira said quietly. Su glared at her, “Who made you so bold? You should know better than to talk to me this way.”Kuvira started shaking slightly enough for Korra to notice.Much to her displeasure Su noticed as well and laughed darkly at her.
Just then Su shoved Kuvira out of the way and marched her way into the apartment.Korra froze.
What the hell was she supposed to do?! She was still hidden.Perhaps This Su didn’t see her?
Korra was once again dragged from her thoughts by Su talking. This time could only hear Su laughing,making snarky comments and an occasional grunt.
Luckily while at the hospital the doctor had given Korra brace so that she could walk well enough on her own. It hurt but she was willing to take it. The noise was coming from the living room.
How did they get in there so fast?
As Korra rounded the corner, she froze,There was Kuvira laying on the couch with Su leaning over her hitting her with Kuvira covering her face,trying to curl into a ball to shield herself.All Korra saw was red.Before she knew it, she had crossed the living room to the couch and was throwing Su off of Kuvira. “WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HIT HER LIKE THAT?!”Su stared up at her with confusion and bewilderment in her eyes. Korra looked her dead in the eye with a look that could kill,“You better pray to god that never happens again or you will regret it,Now GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS HOUSE!”She scrambled to her feet and out as fast as she could.Korra stayed turned away from Kuvira for a moment,trying to calm down and catch my breath.
Until she felt a hand on her shoulder that slowly turned Korra around.Korra looked up into her bright green eyes,tears threatening to fall out of both of our eyes.
And there we stayed for what felt like hours before Korra decided to break the silence.“Are you ok?She didn’t hurt you too bad did she? I’m so so sorry I didn’t intervene sooner maybe I could hav-mmph!”She was cut off by Kuvira suddenly grabbing the side of her face and pulling Korra in for a long-passionate kiss.Korra stood there stunned for a second before whole-heartedly returning the kiss.She felt strong hands grip the side of her face and hold her there.Kuvira’s tongue traced Korra’s bottom lip and she welcomed her in with a smile.And we stayed there like that for what felt like hours before she pulled back and looked at the floor.
A quiet mumbled “thank you” was heard before Korra tilted Kuvira’s chin up to look her in the eyes.“Who was that girl?”Korra asked her, looking into her eyes with worry. Kuvira broke their gaze and shook her head,letting one small tear escape her. Korra reached up with her thumb and wiped the tear with her thumb,softly caressing the side of Kuvira’s face. That was all it took for Kuvira’s knees to give out as she fell to the ground. Korra dropped to her side and held her. Kuvira sat there in Korra’s arms and cried. It felt so good too. Kuvira hadn’t felt safe in years from her parents leaving her on Lin’s doorstep to her Abusive ex-girlfriend, yet here she was crying into the arms of a girl she had barely known a day. 10 minutes later Kuvira had gathered her whits and looked up at Korra. Her usually pale face red and her lips puffy.Korra’s hand came up to wipe her tears away and smiled at her softly.
“Are you ok Kuvira?”Korra hesitantly asked,her voice just barely above a whisper. Kuvira’s throat was thick and heavy caught with tears, all she could do was nod.
Korra shook her head, she felt so angry.How could some people be so cruel? She hadn’t known Kuvira that long but she knew her enough that something here wasn’t right. From what she had seen Kuvira was a strong,brave, and intelligent person so it confused Korra that somebody had made her cry like that.She didn’t know who it was but she did know one thing.She wanted to make them suffer for what they had done to her.
Kuvira’s voice drew Korra from her thoughts,”I’m so sorry you had to see that. I’ve been trying to get away from her for almost 4 years.” Korra’s eyes nearly came out of her head,”This has been happening for almost 4 years?!”She growled. A look of sadness flashed across Kuvira’s face as she nodded slowly,turning her gaze towards the ground.Korra narrowed her eyes and started towards the door. ”Korra..Korra where are you going?!”Kuvira asked in a quick panic.”I’m going to find that girl and tear her a new ass.”Korra growled out still walking towards the door. She had almost made it to the door when a light pale hand stopped her.”Don’t Korra.She isn’t worth it”Kuvira whispered softly. Korra stood there for a moment breathing in deeply before turning around with her head hung low.
Korra took another deep breath before she looked up with a small smile,”Want to watch a movie?” Kuvira smiled and nodded.”What kind of movie do you want to watch?” Korra asked as they both settled onto the couch. Kuvira thought for a moment before smiling,”There’s the new fast and furious movie that just came out,” she turned to Korra,“You have seen the Fast and furious movies right?” Korra laughed and nodded.Kuvira smiled,”I’ll go pop some popcorn and you start the movie?”She asked seemingly as she got up.Korra nodded and hit the play button on the movie,figuring the previews would still be laying by the time Kuvira got back with the popcorn.Korra turned to her left and sat the remote on the coffee table. Surely enough Kuvira came back before the movie started.
-----------------------
*2 movies later(5 hours)*
Somewhere between the middle of the second movie, Kuvira fell asleep leaning on Korra’s shoulder, snoring slightly. Right before the movie ended Kuvira stirred and woke up to catch the end of the movie. By this time it was already 9:30 pm. Without thinking Kuvira reached over Korra’s lap to grab the remote. Unfortunately for her she stumbled and fell into Korra’s lap.
Korra’s eyes widened slightly at the sight of Kuvira sitting in her lap. And so that’s how it went, staring into each other's eyes for what felt like hours before Korra’s hands came to rest lightly on Kuvira’s hips and she leaned forward to once again connect their lips.
A soft what sounded like a relief sigh left Kuvira when Korra leant up and kissed her. It was soft and almost innocent. Then it wasn’t Kuvira started finding her confidence,tracing her tongue against Korra’s bottom lip before catching it in between her teeth and tugging. Korra gasped into her mouth and Kuvira pulled back heaving in the air.
For what felt like forever they just stared at each other,“We have practice tomorrow morning we should probably get some sleep.” Realization hit Korra like a train,“Oh shit! We do! Yea your right we should get some sleep,”She said, getting up sliding her hands under Kuvira’s thighs. Kuvira yelped in surprise and wrapped her hands around Korra’s shoulders.Korra smirked at her,“You didn’t think i wouldn’t return the favor did you?” Kuvira chuckled and leaned forward, pecking Korra as they walked. When Korra went to kiss back however Kuvira dropped her head kissing Korra’s neck causing the woman in front of her to walk up and hold Kuvira against the wall sighing deeply,“If you keep this up we won’t sleep tonight.” Kuvira raised her head and smirked.
Shortly after Kuvira’s face changed to something of worry and she hesitantly asked Korra if she would sleep with her. Korra’s eyes widened as she stumbled to string together a sentence.“Not like that, I-I meant like cuddles and stuff.”Kuvira quickly stuttered out. So that's how it went. They walked to Kuvira’s room and laid down to sleep,wrapped up in each other and happy. Safe.
