Ever since he had arrived all he had received from the blue-eyed girl was a death threat and numerous scowls.
He had always felt hostility emanating from her, but only now did it seem to bother him. Maybe because he felt that whenever he was in close proximity with her, he was also near death. And all her angry glares that wrinkled her eyebrows and darkened her eyes made him wonder what she looked like when she smiled…or was happy. But he realized that as long as he was around she may not ever smile. What a deprivation that would be on my part, he thought.
Even Azula had smiled at least once in his presence. And his father must have as well.
So one night after dinner he approached her. Much, he could see, to her displeasure.
"You should smile more often," he said as he handed her his dish. "Frowning does nothing to enhance your features."
He could tell he flustered her, because instead of her usual retort, she turned and continued cleaning the plates.
But after that night he saw her smile more often.
And he was right. She was kind of pretty when she smiled. Maybe even beautiful.
A/N: Turn that frown upside down because you never know who could be falling in love with your smile. Words of wisdom from my cat.
