Chapter Text
Skrrr,skrr Korrr,
good news! Mom made dumplings! Yummy. Bad news: I'm not aloud to eat them. They are for Asami because "that poor girl works too much. She'd be just skin and bones if I wouldn't take care of her. And you eat half a bison for breafeast." Oof. Such betrayl by my own flesh and blood.
Bringing them to Asami was TORTURE. But I stood my ground and didn't snack none! (I always say "one is none" when it comes to dumplings.) Asami needs them more than I do. Plus I actually love going to the Future Industries Tower because there's a elevation? elevatation? A fridge with buttons that flies up you know the one. Asami's office is way cooler than Mako's. Not only because she has a fan. She has little cars standing on her shelves and tons of cool drawings and even cooler eqasions on her boards. She's crazy good at math and sometimes we play head math games. I'm pretty sure she loses on prupose though, because she's just sweet like that.
"Salami! Ma mommy doesn't want you to starve-ani!" (It rimes if you haven't noticed). She looks up confused from her paperwork but when she sees me she knows what's up and focuses on her work again.
"Hello Ikki. It's nice to see you. Put it over there I'll make sure to thank Pema later."
That's code for "I'll just eat it later but later means never because I'm married to my work not food ups".
But I'll end her misreable marriage with the sweet,steamy affair that is dumplings. I do as she said and put it on one of her tabels. Then I bend the hot steam in Asami's face so she can reall take in the addictive smell. To set the mood I make bubbly water noise. It works! Asami slaps her head because she's fighting her inner demons. She's trying to resist but she can't. Just a little more bubbly noises and it'll push her over the edge of work and into deliciousness.
"Fine give me the dumplings."
Mission accomplished.
While Asami eats her dumplings I explore her office. It's like a jungle full of mystery and ever time I visit there's something new. I go through some of her drawings. Sketches of cars, planes, mopeds more cars some boats, you.
Wait? Me??
Yes you Korra! I couldn't belive it either! It looked something like this
:-)
But waay better! It was like seeing you again. And suddenly it hit me how much I miss you. I miss how we raced around the island. I miss our tournaments. Jinora never wants to fight and Meelo is only trying to impress Asami. I miss pranking dad with you and our eating competitions. The void you left is most noticable when the whole family is listening to radio shows in the evening.
Asami asks me what is wrong and when she sees the drawing she huggs me. Her arms awkardly linger around me not sure where to go or what to do. Your hugs were a lot better. Strong and warm, like you. She whispered that she missed you too. "I have seen Asami cry" would be an understatement. I know she tried to hold back for me but I was not having it. I hugged her back and suddenly I realized that Asami had been alone this whole timw. Mako and Bolin have eachother, I have my family but she doesn't have any family. Guess I'll have to show her how to hug like you do.
Not your sister but still your family
