A/N: The obligatory scene where they actually do a 69.
Azula had thought that their arrangement was simply the natural order of things. She served Daddy, and in turn, Ty Lee served her. And this was a reward in and of itself. Just as Azula didn't demand reciprocation of pleasure from her father, neither should Ty Lee expect any reward other than the influence and prestige gained from being the princess's bedmate.
Truth be told, Azula had never really even contemplated what needs Ty Lee might have. The acrobat had always seemed so happy just to be at her side, right up till the very end. Now, she was starting to learn better. Their difficult and weepy talk last spring had made Azula realize that while Ty Lee's feelings for her had been genuine, they were also complex. No longer could Azula keep taking and taking without fear of repercussion…she had to learn how to give.
Technically speaking, they were just friends now, but every so often the urge would still strike. The first time this happened, they had spent a sultry late-summer evening strolling the Harbor District pier to celebrate Ty Lee's starting school the next week, eating spicy dumplings and watching seabirds and laughing at puppet shows. By the time they got back to Ty Lee's house, they were both slightly tipsy, although this time Azula had been a little more careful about moderating her intake than she had been on their first trip to the harbor.
They burst into Ty Lee's house still laughing at one of the shows they'd seen. As Azula was taking off her shoes, she wobbled and bumped into her friend. Ty Lee's balance wasn't great either, so they landed on the floor of the front hall in a pile, Azula lying on top. She felt her face (and other body parts) warm. Ty Lee's face was quite flushed too, and Azula didn't think it was entirely from the alcohol.
"Shall we?" Azula murmured. For an instant, she feared a harsh response: Ew no way we're friends now we can't do that anymore! To her relief, the acrobat smiled and said "Sure!"
And that was how they ended up on Ty Lee's bed. After the obligatory kissing and touching, her friend had sat back a little.
"Yes?" Azula asked. "What is it?" She wasn't even that annoyed about their makeout session being interrupted, not when it meant she got a better view of Ty Lee's full breasts. Azula had always loved them and envied them in equal measures.
Ty Lee inquired, "Would it be all right if we tried something new tonight?" One hand started nervously picking at a loose thread on the bedspread.
"I don't see why not," Azula conceded. "What did you have in mind?" She couldn't help but be curious about just what crazy and exciting maneuvers her extremely flexible friend may have dreamed up.
She was not disappointed. A few minutes and some awkwardness with elbows and feet later, Ty Lee was eating Azula out, which was nothing out of the ordinary…but this time, they were positioned in such a way that Azula could go down on Ty Lee simultaneously. Or, rather, Azula mused, going up, since Ty Lee was the one on top. For most people, this position would likely be murder on the joints. With her skills in acrobatics, though, Ty Lee made it look easy.
It was an interesting experience, to say the least. Azula's tongue grew a little fatigued, and her nose got tickled by her friend's pubic hair, but eliciting those sounds from Ty Lee, knowing that she was really, genuinely happy, was arousing in and of itself. In addition, the vibrations from said noises felt so good against her clit, and she appreciated the view of the other girl's ample and shapely posterior…very nearly as visually appearing as her upper assets.
Of course, since Ty Lee was quite a bit more practiced with this art, Azula finished first by quite a wide margin. But she was determined to persevere, and Ty Lee was exceedingly patient with her. When her brown-haired friend finally gasped and shuddered above her, she felt a surge of triumph. In that moment, conquering Ba Sing Se felt like nothing compared to making another woman come for the first time.
"That was nice!" Ty Lee said. She was even polite enough not to add "for your first time."
Once she'd moved off Azula's face, the latter inquired, "Would you not be averse to doing this again sometime and staying friends otherwise? That…would be assuming that we can both see other people in between." She didn't feel that she was ready for a committed romantic relationship, and she suspected that Ty Lee wasn't either. The old her would have wanted Ty Lee to remain faithful to her while she herself indulged in other affairs…but, as much as she was still somewhat hesitant to admit, that wouldn't be fair.
In any case, Ty Lee smiled–a real smile this time–and responded, "Sounds like a plan."
