Shenanigans in the park

Korrasami Month 2015 | Nov. 1st - 3rd | Prompt: Autumn.

A/N: Part 4 of the Tumblr Girlfriends AU that I wrote for Korrasami Week. It is not necessary for you to read previous installments to understand the following story.

Korra and Asami were enjoying some time together in the park. Life at college tended to be a little chaotic, so the couple sometimes just wanted to have a quiet day for themselves. They were walking, holding hands, under the yellowing trees, listening to the sound of the wind on the leaves, content with the simple fact that they were spending time together.

The couple was walking on one of the many dirt roads the park had. That was until Korra tugged lightly on Asami's hand, leading her to a thicker part of the park where trees were more numerous. Asami didn't ask why Korra decided to walk through here, but still she wondered. Korra also slowed their pace, which made her girlfriend even more curious as to her behavior.

After looking at her girlfriend out of the corner of the eye several times, Asami finally understood why Korra chose to walk through this part of the park. The sounds their footsteps made and Korra's expression were all the clues she needed.

"Korra, are we walking through here just because you want to step on the fallen leaves?"

"Nope." Korra said with a serious face, looking at the ground, but the sound of crunching leaves that came with each slow step she took was giving her away.

"Really?" Asami asked. Korra only smiled, still looking to the ground. "You are such a big dork, did you know that?"

Korra finally turned her attention to Asami. "I don't know, my girlfriend is a big dork too. Are you sure you are not a bigger dork than me?"

"Oh, no. I cannot take that title away from you, even if I tried."

"I don't know if you are being serious or proving that you are a bigger dork with what you just said."

Asami only smiled in response. "I didn't know that you could enjoy that much stepping on the leaves."

Korra stared dumbfounded at her girlfriend for a moment. "You gotta be kidding! Walking on fallen leaves is one of the best life experiences!"

Asami raised an eyebrow, amused. "Life experiences?"

"Yes. Look…" Korra went behind Asami, making her stop, and placed her hands on her face, covering her eyes. "Now, just walk and hear how the leaves crunch under your feet."

"I cannot… We cannot do it like this, Korra. I won't see where I'm going and you are a bit smaller than me, so you won't either." Asami was suppressing a laugh. "My face is going to meet the ground in no time this way."

"Oh. I think you are right. Then do you promise to keep your eyes closed?"

"I promise."

"Great!" Korra removed her hands from Asami's face and put one arm around her waist, making sure that her girlfriend had her eyes closed. "Now just walk with me and listen to the leaves as you step on them. Feel how you crush them."

Asami giggled and did as Korra said. "I need to admit, this is far more entertaining with my eyes closed."

"Entertaining? This is supposed to be more than that." Even though Asami couldn't see her, she knew Korra was pouting. "I'll show you what's entertaining."

Korra made Asami turn slightly to her left and then she wrapped her free arm around her girlfriend. Using her whole weight, Korra made Asami fall backwards, which in turn made the taller woman gasp and open her eyes.

Asami was expecting to hit the ground hard, but instead she found herself listening to a rustling sound. She needed a few seconds to understand what just happened: They fell on a huge pile of leaves. She turned to chastise her girlfriend but she couldn't do it because Korra started laughing uncontrollably as soon as Asami turned toward her.

"Oh my… It was so funny… You should have seen your face…" Korra continued laughing. Asami wanted to be mad at her, but she simply couldn't. This was her girlfriend being a cute nerd and no harm was done. But that didn't mean that she wasn't going to take revenge on her.

Korra managed to calm herself down after a few moments. "I'm sorry, Asami. I couldn't resist doing this."

"No problem, Korra. Actually I wouldn't have thought of lying on a pile of leaves. It's oddly comfortable." Asami smiled. "And we never have time to just relax. We wouldn't be seeing the fading sunlight if not for your little prank."

Korra looked to the sky and watched how it had a beautiful orange tone. "You are right. It's really amazing."

The couple stayed there, looking to the sky for a while until it turned dark and stars appeared on the firmament. That was when Asami tugged on Korra's sleeve, claiming her attention. Korra turned towards Asami and the couple started kissing. They shared innocent kisses, not hungry ones, each one of them being sweet and enjoying the softness of each other's lips.

Asami had her hand on Korra's shoulder and she slowly took it down her side until it reached the bottom of her shirt. Asami slid up Korra's shirt to have access to her —well toned— abdomen, but this time Asami wasn't looking to indulge herself. This time it was payback.

Asami broke the kiss and grabbed Korra's side. "What are you- Eep!" Korra would have jumped if she'd be standing, but she was lying down and she was in the clutches of her girlfriend, so to speak. "You are cold!" Korra tried to get free of Asami, who were now using both hands to touch her girlfriend's uncovered abdomen. "Let go, Asami."

"No. I am enjoying myself." Asami winked and Korra knew that she wasn't going to relent until her hands were as warm as her. Korra knew she had to escape, so she turned around to do so.

And that was a mistake.

Korra was lying down on a huge pile of leaves. She couldn't get off of it because every time she tried to propel herself away from Asami, she only pushed some leaves away with her feet and her hands. And now Asami had access to her back, which only made things worse for Korra, who stifled a shout when her girlfriend touched her there with her cold hands.

Seeing no way to get away from her girlfriend, Korra did the second best thing she could do: She gave up, restraining herself from shivering. As soon as Korra calmed down, Asami managed to hug her from behind, placing her hands on Korra's abs. "Why were you trying to get away? You gave me permission to touch your abs whenever I want." Asami teased.

Korra only laughed. "I should know better by now that it's bad to antagonize you."

"Yes. But it's fun when you forget about it." Asami prompted Korra to turn around so she could kiss her again, this time with no hidden surprises from both of them. Everything was going great for the couple until someone pointed at them with their flashlight. The owner of the light was a few feet away from the couple. "Is everyone ok? I heard shouts coming from here."

Korra and Asami turned in direction of the light and they flushed when they recognized the woman holding it. It was a police officer.

"Everything's ok." Asami managed to say.

"That's good, but you shouldn't be making so much noise if… You two again?!" The police officer had a stern expression. "I'll come back in five minutes and I don't want to find you here again, understood?"

"Yes, Chief." Korra replied.

The police officer went away mumbling something about how annoying were kids these days. Korra and Asami recovered when the officer was out of earshot. They looked at each other and started laughing uncontrollably.
