Kuvira Week 2015 by Angel. A collection of the seven topics/prompts for Kuvira Week 2015.

Day 7: Fierce/AU: Best 25 out of 27

Korra groaned, clutching a pillow to her chest with her arms while holding a white board and black marker in her hands. She double counted the tally marks, on side for Kuvira and the other for Asami, before turning it to face the two fuming girls. They gave the darker girl their full attention, but side eyeing each other with so much venom that Korra wouldn't be surprised if one of them would keel over at any given moment.

"Okay, the score is now tied at 22 to 22," she muttered.

Kuvira glanced over at Asami with a raised eyebrow. Her jaw was set, and her arms were crossed over her chest. "Best 25 out of 27?" she offered.

"You're on. What game shall we play this time?" Asami asked, tilting her chin up a bit with confidence. Her green eyes sparkled with determination and a fire that Korra had usually seen when she was on the race track.

"Crazy eights or Uno?" Kuvira held up to packs of cards. She tore the boxes open and dumped the cards onto the table, mixing them up. She tossed the boxes over her shoulder, adding them to the pile of games they had discarded. "Better yet, let's combine the two, just to make things more interesting."

"You guys, this is ridiculous," Korra exclaimed. She tossed the whiteboard and marker next to her on the couch before standing up. Placing her hands on her hips she began to pace around the two of them, occasionally shaking her head and staring at them confusion. "You've played Scrabble, Stratego, Monopoly, Life, Cataan, Blockus, Castle Panic, and Bezzerwizzer," she listed off.

"Yes, but Korra-" Asami said gently.

"Then there was Minesweeper, Hearts, timed Solitaire, timed Spider Solitaire, Backgammon, and Chess." Her voice got louder as she continued to name more games and competitions between the two of them. "Do I need to remind you about the pieces stuck in the wall?"

Kuvira and Asami shared a look before leaning to the side, looking past the dark girl's body. They winced when the spotted the checkered board lying on the ground at the opposite end of the room, with various colored bishops, knights, rooks, and a spare king, sticking out of the wall.

"Korra-" Kuvira tried.

Korra held up a hand, instantly silencing her. Asami looked at Kuvira, snickering into her palm, before Korra directed a glare in her direction. The inventor's eyes widened in shock at the harsh look she received. "You also decided that it would be a good idea to see who could find a way to make the most fizz pop out of a soda bottle without using mentos. Do you see that kitchen? I'm the one who'll have to clean that up since it's my chore for the week."

"But, Korra-"

"And let us not forget when you wanted to see who could eat the most jelly beans without throwing up. I got sick just watching the two of you." Korra placed a hand on her stomach and winced at the memory. "I mean, I like competition just as much as the next person, but it is scary when two smart people have to prove how smart they are." She collapsed back onto the couch with a huff, draping an arm over her eyes. "It was a mistake introducing my two best friends to each other."

"Normally, we get along fine," Asami said quietly. She then turned to Kuvira with a raised eyebrow. "If she didn't insist that she was smarter than me, we wouldn't be having this issue."

"I am smarter than you," Kuvira boasted. "I am the captain of the Metal Clan."

"I run my own company," she shot back.

"Not by choice."

Asami gasped, her eyes narrowing in anger. Kuvira watched in amusement, waiting for a response and was surprised to see the engineers hand being shoved into her face. "…Thumb wrestle?"

Kuvira grabbed her hand. "On your mark, get set, go!"

"Are you serious?" Korra sat up on the couch. "Two of the greatest minds in one apartment, and you're thumb wrestling?" She threw her hands up in the air. "What's next, strip poker? At least that'll use your brains for that one."

Kuvira and Asami regarded each other, their hands still locked, and their thumbs pressed against each other. "That's a great idea!" Asami confirmed. She and Kuvira shared a smile. "You get the cards; I'll go get more people." She climbed to her feet, and ran towards the front door of their apartment. The stockings she was wearing caused her to slid as she neared the door. Asami fling it open and ran out of their apartment.

"I was joking," Korra whimpered.

Kuvira looked at her with a smirk as she collected the pile of discarded cards. While shuffling them, she regarded her with a pointed look. "Would you really pass up looking at Asami in her underwear?" she asked.

Korra's cheeks turned a bright red. "Shut up and shuffle the cards, Kuvira," she muttered.

AN: I had been waiting for this prompt all week! I have a headcanon that Korra, Asami, and Kuvira would be best friends in an alternate universe and while Korra and Kuvira have physical competitions, Kuvira and Asami would have mental ones, which helped me come up with this one shot. This is a Modern AU and is essentially a snippet of an upcoming Kuvirasami friendship fic I am working on. It'll essentially be slice of life, and Korrasami would eventually happen, but I didn't want to start the fic because I'm so busy with all of my other writing projects, and then I learned about Kuvira week.

I can't believe Kuvira week is over. After starting and working on my In Hiding fic, I began to love Kuvira, and found many other people who loved her as well. More Kuvira works will be coming from me soon, so i hope you'll all stick around for it. I hope you enjoyed each one-shot as much as I enjoyed writing them. Thanks for reading!
