“Okay, I have the best pick for tonight’s movie!”
Korra shouted excitedly, standing in front of you and Asami. The three of you were in Asami’s home theatre. In her hands was a DVD with a custom cover—an old movie case with its original sleeve removed and refurbished, spelling out Korra’s Boxing Tournaments in cursive font.
It was the most high-spirited Korra had been in months, ever since her incident. She was back on her feet again, making impressive, neck-breaking progress under the guidance of her latest physical therapist: the legendary Toph Beifong. (Neither you nor Asami were privy to how those sessions went, but they were far from conventional.) Her mental health had also started to recover.
“It’s a DVD with all of my pro-bending matches! Complete with a highlight reel of my epic take-outs!” Korra announced proudly, waving the disc around like a trophy. Her blue eyes gleamed. “Bolin sent it! I have no idea how he made a DVD out of it, but now we can have some retro vibes for our movie night!”
Asami sat to your right, a bowl of buttery popcorn balanced comfortably on her lap. There was a fur blanket draped over you and Asami, and it was a cozy night. The fireplace crackled somewhere off to the side as she pressed against you in a familiar lean that echoed your weekly movie nights. The three of you were like self-described soulmates.
Asami leaned closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper, almost conspiratorially, in your ear. “I might have put Bolin and Mako up to this. Korra’s been so down since she had to quit pro-bending. I didn’t expect Bolin actually to burn it onto a disc. I’m glad my dad still keeps every media player in human existence.”
Korra was already sliding the disc into the DVD player and had quickly turned to cursing the very existence of the ‘archaic’ tech as she hit random buttons.
“Need some help?” Asami was quick to get up, leaving the popcorn bowl in your lap. “I know a thing or two about 'retro technology', sweetie."
