Just a kind of setup chapter. Azula wants to get finals week started off right, so she's making a good, hearty breakfast. Just Zuko and Azula being cute and fun, with a brief interlude of Ty Lee and Mai kicking off the B-plot. Hope y'all enjoy this, and I am planning to try to get another chapter up here soon. Thoughts welcome as always. See ya next time.
As the air in the kitchen filled with steam, smoke and the distinctive sizzling of cooking meat, Azula hummed idly, flitting back and forth to the different food items being prepared. The long black ponytail swayed as she idly bobbed her head, lips moving in time with the melody that buzzed in her mind.
It being such an important time for the both of them, being well rested and having the energy to focus on the tasks at hand was extremely important. And the best way to ensure that was with a good, hearty breakfast. The various smells of the crispy bacon, blueberry pancakes, eggs sunny side up, and some sausage links permeated the air in the kitchen, an intense focus required to be sure that nothing got burned while cooking.
Smiling confidently to herself as the food preparation neared completion, she reached towards the oven, turning down the various flames before grabbing the spatula to stir and flip the tasty looking breakfast items. With a heavy intake of breath, Azula found herself smiling warmly, anticipation of the praise from her brother boiling in the pit of her stomach.
Cooking was something the two of them tended to share, him taking the majority of the task as he had more experience living on his own, and thus was a bit more capable of handling food preparation than she was. But being the one most often awake and aware during the mornings, breakfast had become something of her specialty, a fact that Zuko always made sure to praise her for when he enjoyed her food.
Images of messy black locks framing his angular face, the burn scar peeking out from the ebony curtain, and the shimmering golden eyes sent a small tremor of arousal through her body, the warmth soothing but agonizing at the same time. Normally she would storm into his room and wake him up in the best way, but it being the start of finals week, he had been very firm that morning sex was off the menu.
Azula had to make do with the knowledge that good night sex was still very much on the table, however. Biting down on the inside of her lip to calm down, she began to turn to head towards his room, wondering how difficult it would be to get him to wake up.
Shining eyes widened in surprise as she felt his strong, muscular arms snake around her waist, his mouth seeking out the open expanse of her bare neck. Shudders of pleasure quaked through her as his palms smoothed out against her stomach, hands sliding up under the hem of the soft cotton of her makeshift sleepwear, his fingers tracing small imperceptible patterns on the flat of her toned stomach.
"I was just about to come get you," she squeaked out as he suckled playfully on her neck, his chin resting lazily on her shoulder.
"Well, I managed to wake up myself, probably because of the smell coming from the kitchen," he replied, his voice rumbling softly against her sensitive skin, her entire body feeling like it was being engulfed in a roaring flame.
"No alarm this morning?" her eyes naturally fluttered closed, savoring the heat of his body against hers through the large black t-shirt covering her slender body.
"I didn't need one. I guess I slept pretty good," he responded, grinding his pelvis against her ass, earning him a groan of annoyed arousal. "You really know how to make sleep really easy," he teased, nuzzling at her neck playfully, the wisps of his jet black hair wistfully brushing against the sensitive skin.
"And what do you think you're doing?" she questioned, instinct taking over as she pushed her red lace covered backside against him, feeling the distinct bulge of his manhood pulsing between their heated bodies.
"Just saying good morning," he said, his voice husky with lust as he held her hips, a gravelly groan sounding delicious in her ears as he spoke.
"Some good morning," she spoke, nibbling at her lower lip to keep herself from moaning. "But weren't you the one who said no sex in the morning during finals week?"
The mention of the important days ahead seemed to have no effect on his body, his hips rolling slowly as he ground himself securely against her ass.
"Well, I don't think any guy would see you dressed that way and not be all over you. Maybe if you weren't wearing practically nothing, it would be a lot easier," he excused, lust clear on his voice.
"And here I thought you had a bit more self control than that," she replied, cheeks flushed with color as she reached down her body. A wave of disappointment seared her mind as she gripped his warm hands, pulling the fingers from their perch on her bare skin.
"Tease," he joked, giving her earlobe a soft nip before kissing her warm cheek.
"Now, now," she began, a cold wave passing over her at the separation of their bodies, "there will be plenty of time for that later." They both knew he would be in desperate need to relieve stress, given the difficulty of his upcoming exams.
"You're still a tease," Zuko chuckled as he made his way towards the cozy table setup nearby, taking the seat facing the kitchen. Straightening his tie and shirt, he shifted his eyes towards his sister, watching her float effortlessly around the kitchen, placing the prepared food on plates.
"Why, thank you, brother," she said sweetly, turning to bring the steaming plates of food over to the dining table. "I do try my best," she added, a playfully teasing tone to her voice.
"I'll have to think of a way to get you back," he returned, eyes shimmering with his own sense of jest to accompany the deceptive smile tugging at his lips.
"Something to look forward to," she tried to hide her arousal at the suggestion underpinning his words, images of what could be in store causing her nipples to harden beneath the suddenly altogether too heavy shirt.
"Shouldn't you be ready for class? I'm not the only one who has finals, remember," he questioned as he set himself to enjoying the breakfast Azula had so thoughtfully prepared.
"Perhaps you need more sleep. You know I don't have my first exam until later today, I don't have quite as heavy a course load as you picked up."
Swallowing the mouthful of food, he rolled his eyes, silently cursing himself for forgetting something as simple as that. "Suddenly I'm a little nervous I'll forget everything I studied this past week," a pessimistic streak flared up in his gut, anxiety spiking at the thought.
"That won't do," Azula chided from across the table, carefully placing her knife and fork down on the plate before locking Zuko squarely in her gaze. Settling her elbows upon the tabletop, cradling her chin with folded fingers, she steeled her features before continuing. "If you don't ace these exams, then there will be no more sex for three months."
Zuko's jaw hung slightly open at the threat, mind buzzing between which aspect of that prospective scenario would be more difficult to handle. "You're bluffing," he said weakly, knowing in his soul that she was most definitely not bluffing.
"I most certainly am not," she said, her own chest a hollow throb at the thought of such a long time without his loving, passionate embrace. But while it was something he most likely knew instinctively after the noteworthy struggles of his life, high stakes were what brought out the best in her dear brother.
"I guess I better ace these tests then," Zuko responded after a moment of pause, nerves causing his heart to beat a few paces faster. "I wish I was as confident as you seem to be."
"High scores are just to be expected," she said, leaning back in her seat as her chest naturally puffed out with her unique brand of occasionally abrasive overconfidence.
"Maybe for you," his voice shifted to a slightly bitter tone, leaning heavily against the back of his chair as he felt the orange juice flow coolly down his throat. A low growl sounded in his throat, wishing that he was capable of being the dependable one of the pair, able to adapt to things as easily as his sister.
"Oh, ZuZu," Azula said warmly, a reassuring smile passing over her face as she stood from the table, bare feet padding softly on the wood floor as she crossed towards her brother. Not letting him react, she sat lazily in his lap, arms wrapping around his neck to provide balance as her legs swung gently over his.
"Azula?" he questioned, arms instinctively sneaking around her waist.
"You always get the proper results, you just need the right motivation," she explained, a sweet, soothing tint to the words as they slipped from her uncolored lips. "And what kind of sister would I be if I didn't try my best to push you to be your best?"
"Never let it be said that I don't appreciate it," he said, affection blooming in his chest as he leaned his head slightly, eager to savor a kiss from the girl in his lap.
"Uh-uh," she replied, pressing her index finger to his lips to prevent them from kissing, her mind screaming out in disapproval. With a subtle wiggle, she pressed her ass firmly against his lap before extricating herself from her perch across his legs. "That will have to wait until later."
Zuko's eyes narrowed slightly as as low growl rumbled in his throat, frustration and arousal overshadowing the uncertainty he had been feeling moments earlier. "God, I'm going to get you for that," he promised, mirth glimmering in his golden eyes. He watched as Azula gathered the plates and silverware, swaying her hips seductively as she strode casually into the kitchen.
"Well, don't let yourself get too worked up about it that you forget everything we went over while studying," she teased, dropping the dishes into the sink. "Just like you shouldn't forget that you still actually have to make it to your classroom to actually take the test in the first place."
"Oh shit," Zuko nearly shouted in panic, clicking his phone to check the time, cursing as he exploded in a flash of movement from his seat at the table. Making his way into the kitchen with a quick few steps, he planted a soft kiss to Azula's cheek. "Good luck on your tests today, I'll see you for dinner," he said in a huff, breathlessly bolting out of the apartment.
"Poor ZuZu, always forgetting the simplest things," she muttered teasingly as she ran the water in the sink, setting about the task of cleaning up the natural result of cooking. Slender fingers grabbed the abrasive cleaning utensil, slipping it beneath the increasingly heated water before pouring a streak of detergent on the rough surface.
A warm atmosphere engulfed her as she lost herself in the normally irritating task, soapy suds foaming to life with each firm swipe across the dirty dishes. As she set the last dish in the rack, signifying that the task was complete, she quickly dried off her hands, before heading towards her bedroom.
Glancing at the digitized time readout on the smooth surface, Azula pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, realizing that she still had a decent amount of time before her first final. With a heavy sigh, she flopped onto her bed, staring lazily up at the ceiling, golden eyes not focusing on anything as time seemed to come to a dead stop.
"I thought all that would take much longer," she murmured to herself, a soft ache echoing in her groin as she thought back to the tense bulge of Zuko's manhood when he had embraced her so quickly after waking up.
Normally, she would have relished making him late for class, allowing her body to fully savor the feel of his body above her own, or beneath it depending on the positions they managed to find themselves in. A tingle resounded within the pit of her stomach as she pictured just how she was going to delight herself in enjoying his body later that night.
Figuring she still had some time to kill, Azula let her fingers drift slowly down her body, slipping her slender fingers into the soft red fabric of her panties to allow herself access to her dampening folds. A loud moan escaped her lips as a pair of the slim digits parted the puffy lips, sliding easily into the wet tunnel of her pussy.
A dull ache teased her mind, want clouding her thoughts as she pictured Zuko's hard length piercing her womanhood instead of her fingers, imagination burning with images of the impossibly sensual sound of skin smacking against skin as he pounded into her with a fury. The flow of juices increased as she picked up her tempo, thrusting the fingers deeply into her, feeling each stroke of her fingers slipping in more easily.
"Nnnh, mmmm, ZuZu," she moaned, eyes closed to increase the potency of the mental image she was projecting to herself. Hooking her fingers gently within her, Azula's back arched teasingly up off of the bed, small tremors of electricity teasing her as they passed up along her spine.
While Azula was occupied with indulging herself in the carnal pleasures of her body, across campus her friends Mai and Ty Lee were coming down from an intense bout of their own love making.
"Ty Lee, calm down, I need to take a break," Mai said between unsteady breaths, waist length black hair plastered to her sweaty frame as her girlfriend shifted to embrace the young woman.
"Aww, come on, I know you can handle more," Ty Lee whined, fingers tracing small circles across her lover's collarbone as she draped a leg casually over Mai's pale frame.
"That's not the point," Mai sighed, gently nudging the brunette to create some space. "For the last week you've been on overdrive. What's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not something you just wake up one day and you want to have sex all day, something caused it," Mai explained, turning to stare at her lover directly. "I figured it would calm down after a few days, but it seems not, so what gives?"
Ty Lee shifted her mind back to what she had witnessed that day in the campus library, the thought sending fresh surges of arousal through her. "Well, you remember last week when I went to study for the test?" she asked.
"Yeah, I thought the world was going to end," Mai joked, her usual dry, even tone feeling more mean spirited than intended.
"Hey, I study," Ty Lee huffed, creating some separation as she sat upright in defense at her character. Cheeks puffed outward as she rested her hands on her waist, pouting as she looked down at her girlfriend.
"I know, it's just so rare that I couldn't believe it," the raven haired girl explained, gripping the brunette's arm to pull her down for an embrace.
"Anyway," Ty Lee continued, letting the gesture calm her down, a smile forming as she cuddled into the gentle embrace, "when I was there I saw something so hot it just got me going."
"What could you possibly have seen to get you that turned on that we've basically been having sex for like a week straight?" Curiosity blazed behind the amber tinted eyes, thin brows quirking upward as she pondered just what could have had such an impact on the girl who had a very noteworthy libido of her own.
"At the back of the library, like waaaaay in the back, there were people having sex," Ty Lee beamed, the sight flaring squarely into her mind.
"That can't be all it is, because you know we've actually had sex in public, not just seeing it."
"No, not that. It was who it was."
"And who was it?"
"It was Azula and Zuko," Ty Lee nearly whispered the two names, Mai's mind short circuiting at the thought. Surely Ty Lee was leaving something out, it couldn't be what she was immediately thinking at the comment.
"And who were they with?" Mai hesitantly questioned, her mind racing a million miles an hour as she tried to reassure herself that it wasn't possibly what she was picturing.
"They were with each other," Ty Lee explained, shattering any ability for Mai to reason away what she was hearing. "And oh my gosh, it was sooooo hot." A flare of color painted the bubbly young woman's cheeks, accompanying a gush of nectar from her womanhood.
"Are you serious?" Mai asked incredulously, eyes blinking dimly as she tried to process what she was hearing.
"Yes, Mai, seriously, the way they were going at it was just so… gosh."
"Ty Lee just to make sure, you know they're brother and sister, right?"
"Well, we all grew up together, so of course I know that."
"Then how can you say that's hot?"
"Trust me, if you saw what I saw you would get it," Ty Lee explained, rubbing herself against her girlfriend to signify she was quite anxious to get back to their lovemaking.
"I highly doubt that," Mai said evenly, her mind flickering to life as she pictured the two siblings together in such an intimate situation. As the image flooded her brain, Mai felt a soft twinge of arousal welling up within her belly.
Despite the status of their relationship as siblings, the pair of them were undoubtedly appealing physically. They matched nearly perfectly. Both with the same burning, golden tinted eyes. Both possessing the same entrancing locks of lustrous ebony hair.
The two had always had a relationship that was unique, to put it mildly. If one had asked her as a child if they cared for each other, she would have probably intimated that they couldn't stand one another. They spent as much time, if not more, bickering and arguing any time they were together than they did actually getting along.
But thinking back to their time growing up together, Mai recalled how often Azula was focused on what Zuko was doing, how often he came up in their conversations and the look that would pass across her face any time Zuko did something impressive or worthy of praise. As though it were a personal reflection of her own ability in some way.
Similarly, Zuko was eternally focused on his sister, putting himself down at her successes while simultaneously taking great pains to keep track of everything she was doing. And no matter how much she tricked and teased him, he always willingly went along with whatever Azula had in mind for him.
"Well," she mumbled after a moment of introspection, "that certainly explains a lot."
"What do you mean?" Ty Lee asked, not quite catching onto the track Mai was on at the moment.
"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you about it later," Mai replied before pulling her lover close, pressing her lips firmly against Ty Lee's. A soft squeak of surprise slipped from the bubbly girl's lips, before realization clicked into place and she returned the deep kiss.
As Mai lost herself in the feel of Ty Lee's body, a plan formed in her mind, figuring she would be able to see Azula squirm for once. Not to be malicious, like Azula could be as a child, but just to tease her friend a little bit.
Besides, she had to know if it was just physical, perhaps some form of temporary insanity, or if there was more to it than that.
But not before she savored the flavors and sounds Ty Lee offered during their lovemaking.
