Ding dong.
Korra stepped back from the entrance of the Sato Estate after ringing the doorbell.
Mako, Bolin, Asami, and her had all agreed to meet at Asami’s house (more like mansion) for a hangout that Saturday. They had just become fast friends that prior week after Mako introduced Asami to Bolin and Korra.
The door suddenly opened and a butler ushered Korra in.
“Good afternoon Avatar Korra, how do you do?” He asked politely, shaking her hand.
“Uh, I do good? Thank you.” Korra awkwardly replied, the training compound didn’t focus too much on social situations. She would just have to wing it.
“Come right this way, Masters Bolin and Mako, and Lady Asami are all in the game room awaiting your arrival.” The butler began walking, Korra followed.
It had felt like ages, when in reality it had only been five minutes, until they finally reached the game room. Just as promised, Korra’s three new friends were all sitting on a couch in the middle of the -very large- room, talking with each other. Their heads perked up at the door opening and they immediately got up to rush over and greet Korra.
“Korra! You made it! Thank you George, we will take it from here.” Asami smiled at the butler, he nodded and left; closing the door behind him.
“Heh, hi guys. It’s nice to see you all too.” Korra looked around the room, noting the multitude of board games, card games, and the ping pong and pool tables. “So, what will we do first? Youve got, um, quite the selection.” She asked.
“Do you guys have any favorites? I’m sure I have it here somewhere.” Asami answered, looking at the three of them.
“I like poker.” Mako stated, putting his hands in his pockets.
“Poker? Isn’t that for people 21 and up?” Asami raised an eyebrow.
“Shady Shin taught us! It’s so much fun; until they beat you up and steal your money but that’s all part of the game, right?” Bolin smiled.
“Uh, no actually.” Asami corrected, Bolin looked confused for a moment before moving on.
“Well I like good ol’ truth or dare.”
“What’s that?” Korra asked.
The three of her friends exchanged glances before Mako spoke up.
“You don’t know what truth or dare is? How? It’s like, the most basic game ever”
“The compound didn’t focus much on games.” Korra said sheepishly.
“Well it’s easy! We can teach you!” Bolin replied enthusiastically.
“Alright, what are the rules?”
“Wait.” Asami piped in. “Are we playing ‘truth or dare’ or ‘truth, or dare’?” All she got were blank stares so she continued. “Ok so, ‘truth or dare’ is when you pick between truth and dare, and ‘truth, or dare’, with a comma mind you, is when you have to do truth and if you don’t, then you do a dare.”
Mako and Bolin “ohh”-ed, Korra still looked lost as ever.
“Let’s do the second one!” Bolin said happily.
“Alright, well-“ Asami turned to Korra. “-Truth, or dare, is when you ask someone a question and they have to answer. If they don’t want to then they have to do a dare, which is a task. Like ‘I dare you to jump up and down three times’, that sort of thing.”
“I get it now, let’s play!”
The Mako, Bolin, and Korra sat on the couch while Asami grabbed a spinner from a random game and set it on the table. It had four colors; red, blue, yellow, and green.
“I call dibs on red.” Asami called out as she sat down.
“I want blue!” “I want green!” Korra and Bolin said simultaneously, they looked at eachother and laughed.
“Guess that means I’m yellow.” Mako sat up, ready to play.
“I’ll spin first. Whoever it lands on, I’ll ask you the question. We’ll go me, Korra, Mako, then Bolin.” Asami span the spinner and it landed on Bolin.
“Let’s see here.. why is green your favorite color?” Asami asked.
“Who says it is?”
“Your entire outfit is green, Bolin.”
“Oh, yeah, right. Heh, um, cause I’m an earthbender?” Bolin guessed.
“Let’s just go with that.” Asami sighed. “Ok Korra your turn to spin.”
Korra span the spinner and it landed on Asami.
“Hm, um, girl questions girl questions… aha! When did you start your monthly cycle?” Korra asked.
The others were in shock. Asami quickly recovered and replied with; “Korra that’s not something you ask people.”
“Really? My teachers asked me that all the time, kept a whole record and everything.”
“This compound sounds like a real piece of work.” Asami raised an eyebrow once again.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I’m not into a lot of girly things so I didn’t know what else we had in common.” Korra apologized sincerely.
“It’s alright you didn’t know, instead of thst question I’ll do a dare.”
“Okay. Hm, I dare you to… do a handstand!”
Asami smiled and nodded before getting up, doing a handstand, and even walking on her hands a few feet before stopping and sitting back down. The others were impressed at that.
“Wow I can’t even do that, nor can Mako!” Bolin said in astonishment.
“Who says I can’t do a handstand?”
“Well then that’s your dare if it lands on you during my turn.”
Mako playfully rolled his eyes. They continued the game for hours, learning more and more about each other and growing in their friendship. Bolin landed on Korra and he thought for a moment before playfully asking his question.
“Where’s your most ticklish tickle spot?” He was definitely scheming for later, to his dismay, Korra replied with; “I’m not ticklish.”
“Huh, really?” Bolin said.
“Yeah, or at least I doubt I am. I haven’t been tickled since before I left for the compound, which was at around five years old. I’m seventeen now.”
“Can we find out if you are? Pleaseeee?” Bolin whipped out his puppiest puppy dog eyes and batted his eyelashes.
“Um, well, I guess.” Korra replied, a bit unsure about this. “Though don’t be disappointed when I’m not. I’m the Avatar, the Avatar is supposed to be a powerful beacon of hope; not some ticklish.. thing.” She gestured with her hand.
Bolin nodded and wiggled his fingers at her, eliciting no reaction whatsoever. He was a big discouraged by this but continued on. Mako and Asami watched on as he poked her side, still nothing.
“I told you I wasn’t ticklISH!” Korra yelped and whirled around, looking at Asami who had just tickled her neck.
“What was that?!”
“That, was being ticklish, Korra.” Asami smirked evilly.
Korra looked between Bolin and Asami, knowing what came next, though, she still wasn’t ready for it.
Asami grabbed Korra’s arms and pulled them up so Bolin could access her armpits. Any walls Korra may have put up immediately broke down as she laughed.
“Spihihirits thihis is sohoho bad!” Korra laughed out, trying to bring her arms down but Asami was surprisingly strong.
“Get her ribs Bolin!” Asami called out, and Bolin followed.
“Tickle tickle!” Bolin teased as he scribbled up and down her ribs.
Korra couldn’t help but blush the tiniest bit, which was caught by her attackers.
“Aww is the great powerful Avatar blushing over some tickles?” Asami teased, her voice faux sweet like vegan honey.
“Shuhuhut up!” Korra giggled while still trying to get free.
Mako just watched on, amused by the scene. He wouldve joined in but didn’t want to overwhelm Korra with too much tickling her first time.
“Mahako! Hehehelp!”
“I’m good, thanks. I’ll just sit here and enjoy the show.” He leaned back on the couch, smirking.
“Fuhuhuck yohohu ahahall!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re in no position to say that.” Bolin switched from her ribs to her stomach, causing her to squeal.
“EEEEK! Stahahap stahahap!” She cried out, immediately Bolin stopped tickling and Asami let go.
Korra hugged herself as she caught her breath, still giggling a little.
“Spirits, I had no idea about.. any of that.” She couldn’t help but smile.
Once Korra regained her bearings, she happily spoke.
“That was fun! Can you go it again?”
The others were silent then laughed as a group. Korra was bamboozled.
“What? Is it cause I forgot to say please?”
“No no, um, we’re just not used to a young adult asking for tickles. Let alone the Avatar.” Asami started.
“But I think we can do that for ya.” Bolin finished, getting ready to attack.
Korra got up from the couch and backed up a few steps, the look on her face made it clear she wasn’t planning to make this easy.
“Get her!” Bolin cried out and Mako and Asami joined him as they tried to corner Korra.
Korra was a skilled acrobat and bender though, trained since she was five. Dodging them was like dodging children!
“Hah! With all your pro-bending and self defense classes I thought you’d be better than this!” Korra taunted, running around the room and easily jumping over any tackles made towards her.
It wasn’t too long before she was finally caught by Mako, who grabbed her ankle as she flipped by him, and wrestled her onto the ground.
“Gotcha! Hurry guys before she gets up!”
Asami and Bolin rushed over and soon enough, Mako was holding her hands above her head, Asami was straddling her thighs, and Bolin was at her feet. She squirmed and fought but it was no use, they got her; and they wasted no time diving into their attack.
Mako held her hands with one of his and used the other to claw at her armpit, Asami spidered her nails up and down her sides, and Bolin scribbled at her socked feet. Korra was a mess instantly, laughing and throwing her head about as that’s all she could do.
“WAHAHAIT WAHAHAIT!” She cried out.
Asami signaled for the boys to stop.
“Yes, Korra?” She asked, just teasing.
Korra was a bit disappointed that they had stopped, but she wasn’t going to let them know that.
“I- um.” She stammered, unsure of what to say as she looked up at Asami’s smirking face.
“Did you change your mind?”
“Well, no…”
“So you want us to continue?”
Korra just glared at Asami, blushing a little again.
“We aren’t going to continue until you ask us to.” Asami crossed her arms.
“What! No way!” That would wound Korra’s pride to no end.
“Okay then, your choice..” Asami began to get up.
“Wait! Okay! Um, please continue..” Korra mumbled.
“Continue what? And speak up please.”
“Continue to tickle me.”Korra said louder.
“Hm, alright then.” Asami and the boys started back up their attack, leaving Korra a wiggling hysterical mess.
“What was that you said about not being ticklish?” Mako teased, he wasn’t much of a teaser but he wanted in on the fun.
“SHUHUHUT UP!”
“Again, that’s no way to talk to someone in your position!” Asami playfully scolded. “Someone needs to learn her manners.”
Korra just shook her head and laughed, accepting her fate and laying there. Asami pulled Korra’s shirt up a bit and tickled her stomach a little before leaning down and blowing a raspberry right above her belly button.
Korra. Went. CRAZY.
She cackled while trying to break free one final time.
“WHAHAHAT THE FUHUHUCK?!” She practically screamed.
Her friends let up at that point, letting her go and getting off of her. She rolled into a fetal position, still giggling from the after-tingles.
“Ohoho sphihirits.” She giggled out.
Her friends just laughed as they sat around her, waiting for her to calm down. Bolin wanted to get one final tease in before really stopping.
“Someone liked that, huh?” The others chuckled.
Korra wasn’t embarrassed before, but for some reason, she was now. She felt small, but in a nice way? She knew she was safe with her crew (‘or KREW’ she thought) and didn’t fear being vulnerable with them; to an extent at least.
After a few minutes she sat up, her hair was a mess and her face was flushed, but she was happy.
“Yeah, um, I mean. I did have fun. Yes.” She shyly stammered. “Could we do it again sometime?” She asked.
“We’re happy to!” Bolin grabbed everyone into a group hug and they all laughed in joy.
~~~~~~~~
Hours later, everyone was gone. Asami was alone in her room, thinking back to how bravely Korra just asked for tickles. She couldn’t help but feel a little jealous at her lack of shame. Maybe she could become more comfortable with her new friends and work up the courage to ask them for tickles too.
