"Why such things happen with us?"Aang said walking nearly kilometres in his room."I should ask kuzon for help!"with that he dialed his earthbending best friend number.
"Hey Aang here!"
"Aang I've your number saved"Bumi said.
"Listen I'm in big trouble"
"Oh so another fight with Azula I see!"
"No not that!"
"So it is not related to her"
"It's not like that"
"Then how it is?"
"Will you please fuckin listen!"
"Jeez Aang,no Avatar state,go ahead I'm listening"
"You know me and Azula meet each other everyday"
"Yeah you two are doing that for straight nine months now,it's pretty impressive!"
"Yeah but it is the problem now I mean tomorrow.."
"Wait... tomorrow means it's fucking valentine's Day Aang! You two gonna meet tomorrow...you two fucking couples!Aang you naughty boy,you were waiting for the right time I see, I.."
"Kuzon stop and hope you realize that's the problem"
"What does that mean?"
"It just that we don't want that couple thing, neither of us think of each other that way"
"Wait now you're thinking too much of what people will say"
"I'm not the only one"
"Well did she tell you or you two really talk about such things"
"No she was thinking about that and she knows I was doing the same too"
"Do you want me to believe in telepathy shit!"
"Your friend can bend four elements at at the same time so you can"
"You two spend a lot time together"
"I know it...now will you please help me!"
"Just don't meet tomorrow"
..
"Hey Aang...Aang?he cut the phone"Bumi chuckled,he has never seen him so worked Avatar too suffers in girls matter.
Zuko was getting things ready for his tomorrow date. After a great amount of stalking and little help by Aang he found a girl to his name was Mai and she is classmate with Azula,they are not friends but soon they will be because of was coincidentally one of the audience enjoying Aang and Zuko battle in the funfair from where all this started.
There was an unexpected knock on his door and he was surprised to see his sister standing there,he didn't expected Azula to ever come to his room only if she needed something.
"Azula? What are you doing here?"he said
"It will be nice of you to let me in"she said entering in his room sitting at the edge of bed.
"So tell me fast what you want so you can leave"
"I'm trying to be nice to you Zuzu but you don't deserve it"she sighed
"What do you want to know Azula"he said getting a chair sitting infront of her.
The room was quite for min before she spoke again.
"So you're going on a date tomorrow, who's that unlucky girl"she said with her usual smirk.
"It's none of your business and you better get out,if your here to insult me"he said pointing towards the door.
Again there was a long silence,zuko was looking at her while she was fidgeting with the bedsheet.
"So Azula what your doing tomorrow?"Zuko broke their long silence.
"What does that mean?"
"Don't have any date? Valentine I mean"
"Don't you think we're quite young for this nonsense"
"Age doesn't matter in love!"
"Love?you just started dating a few days ago and don't tell me your fat old man says these shit quotes"
"Don't dare you call uncle like that! and you better don't talk about love"
The last word hit her hard,she just required few min to set everything on fire including his brother but she refused,she was the one who needed something,she wants to know and for now her brother can only help her.
"Azula you don't got any offers"he said being surprised by her sudden co operative behaviour so he decided to push further the topic.
"Yes but I turned them all down,how dare they could even think of that"she scoffed thinking about how Aang was laughing at her reading the poetic proposals she got.
"Well I don't know about Aang but I can say he too must be in the same state like yours"he said and notice she stopped fidgeting 'time to take the game ahead'he thought,"But me,Bumi and Kuzon will make sure he will get a date hell he deserved that"he completed.
"Ohkk...I don't know why I'm saying this but All the best for your date, don't act stupid with her I've reputation in my class" she said and trailed off until zuko stopped her at the doorway.
"So tomorrow will be the first day you both are not meeting so best of luck for that"he it was his time to pull the smirk of doom while Azula just exited the room without saying made sure she has entered her room and then on the other second he dialed Bumi's number.
"Mission accomplished!"
The night was not a pleasant one for both Aang and Azula,how strange they both decided to not text each other just be wake coz sleep was not coming easily.
Azula thought the last words from zuko were taunts,he got her in the correct place for that but she was not angry with him,not with the stupid proposals she got but she was angry with herself don't know why but she was going to find out right called him but it couldn't connect,he is busy talking with someone. She dialed again and to her liking he picked up
"Who the hell is talking with you at 3:25am?"she snarled at him.
"You're one to talk! why your phone is showing busy,don't you have to sleep? you hate dark circles don't you?
"Everybody hates that Idiot! Wait I thin.."
"We called each other at the same time"
"Idiot!"she said followed by a minute silence,being night time the silence was more killing,everyone at their rest,the sound of the clock,the breeze that entered the room, the moment was not only the lonely one,they were too.
"Zula?"
"What now?"
"Why do we care what the others say,what they think?"
"Aang I want to meet you tomorrow and I know you want the same"
"We're not going to break our stupid
streak"
Again there was silence between them
"Aang!"
"Jeez Physcho don't propose me now I can't see your face from you.."
"You fucking idio.."
"Sryyyy Zula"
"You're dead tomorr.."
"Sryy my baby calm down!"
"Don't call m.."
"Okay Azula cal.."
"Will you let me complete my sentence nonsense"
"Aang?"
"You completed your sentence?I mea.."
With that she started laughing,her voice being lullaby for Aang,'how I'm lucky to experience this'he thought.
"Aang?"
"Hmm"
"I miss you "she said and ended the call smiling without hearing his reply or goodbye,she rolled the sheets over closed her eyes until the phone rang again,it was Aang
"I miss you too"he said and ended the call leaving Azula smiling like an Idiot,she swear if he sees her like that he will definitely call her hypocripte,'I need to do something for this Idiot'she thought
****NEXT DAY***
Aang was surprised and angry at the same time after knowing about the secret plan of his friends to set up his friendship with Azula into more,like a couple,he was now more nervous after hearing Zuko explanation of the last night. Everyone of the boys have got their dates,kuzon with his third girl in a week,zuko with mai and Bumi with two girls at the same time hell everyone don't knows how he pulled that,he must've got the drip they said.
They made Aang to wear a typical gentlemen attire and then dropped him at her house. He made himself ready and rang the bell .To his surprise Ursa was the one to answer,he thought of any servant or someone'Ithink they know I was visiting'he thought.
"Hey child you must be Aang! "she said
"Yeah ma'am nice to meet you,you must be Zuko and Azula's mother"
"Yeah your bald head kinda suits you and I think you will look more handsome with hairs"she said being surprised at the fact that someone as addressed her with her both kids name because it was only zuko from all the students of their school.
"Huh?"he said being taken by the sudden compliment
Ursa just laughed in response of his confused look and he relaxed at that.
"Mother ?"Azula voice came from behind .
"Is this your friend?"
"Hey Zula"he said being little disappointed about her not being dressed yet.
While Azula just examined him from top to bottom "Well I'm not going to marry you!" she said and started laughing.
Ursa was first surprise about Aang when he called her Zula and now little confused about her daughter laughing.
"Aang what they done to you?"she chuckled
"I agree"he sighed
"My daughter is your valentine?"Ursa chimmed in between them.
"What no ma'am!nothing like that"he said blushing.
"Well her choice is nice! Do you like her or love?"Ursa continued to tease them.
"Mother will you please leave,Aang ignore her"Azula said to which Ursa sighed and started walking back to her room after giving one smile at Aang until she was stopped in midway by Aang
"Ma'am if love mean to you infinetly caring about someone, supporting them whenever they need, teasing, laughing and having fun with them,finding happiness just after everyday meeting them,feeling blessed just getting one glance of them then ma'am I love her"he finished to which Ursa smiled at him wholeheartedly and then at her daughter while Azula on the other hand never saw this expression of her mother which Aang pulled out on their first meeting,she allowed every word to sink in hell she was looking at him like he was the one 'Idiot denied he loves me by saying he loves me'she thought.
"Which movie dialogue was that?" she said dragging him in her room.
"At least show some respect to my emotions" he said with puppy face just to make both of them laugh.
"Take this!"Azula said handing him a new red hoodie"you're going to wear this"she said to the confused Aang.
"Red hoodie?"he asked still thinking about his today's attire 'Im looking that bad'he thought.
"I want you to wear this"
"I never expected anything when I gave you that earings"
"It's nothing like that!"
"Gift or repay of the burn hoodie?"
"Wear this or I will burn both of them leaving you shirtless for the night"
Azula went inside her changing room leaving the defeated airbender behind. It was his first time at her home and both of them never believed it will happen,thanks to her father for his business trip staying away from her home.
Aang was posing infront of mirror until her image appear on it on her arrival,he looked back at her best friend who was looking more than beautiful in red colour 'We do such things and believe people to not call us couple'he smiled at the thought.
"Oh spirits the Avatar is in love!"she giggled at his reaction
"What no...same colour...I me"
"Calm down Idiot that was a joke"she said and again dragged her shocked best friend out of her following night was filled with joy and with some 'we are not couple' moments.
It was not a surprise as they ended up going to her favourite place.
" We are coming here everyday now" he said as they both settled on the bench facing the beautiful was wonderful how this place looks at night. The whole city with the lights and little red lights on today's occasion were amazing,Azula countered him by saying it must be the traffic signal light,he was used to this now,they continue gazing until she slipped her arm within his and rested her head on his shoulder,at first the words of his friends came in his thoughts but he rubb off that and inter wine their fingers still both of them looking ahead.
"We are stupid to make such a big issue of this"Aang said looking at her
"Yeah we gave chance to tease but I don't care"she said with one glance at him before closing her eyes.
"Well your mother,she is a nice person"
"Sorry Aang she has a husband,there are no chances for you!"
"I can't believe you said that and how weird it is that I'm meeting your mother now,this late"
"Hmm"
"Wait ..wait oh fuck !"he stated jerking from the seat to her surprise,looking side by side as if he making sure no one there and after to his relief he bent down infront of her,she was not sure but is Aang going to propose her
"Azula I.."
"What?"
"I don't know you birthdate"he said looking completed disappointed while it was Azula turn to burst into laughter at his condition,she motioned him to sit up again.
"This week,on Friday"she stated still between her laughs
"Friday what! And you're telling me now this late!"he pouted to get a light slap from her .
"Aang keep quite!"she said and again rested her head on his shoulder.
"Don't sleep"he said looking at the sunset.
"Don't tell me, you're the one who sleeps in my lap"she said snuggling closer while he just chuckled.
"You look beautiful physcho"
"..."
"Aang you said all that things earlier,I know you mean that but that was stupid"she giggled
"Not more stupid than the poetic rhymes you got"he backfired which result to an intense staring battle until Aang looked away 'Its her birthday and I need to do something special and don't know what to do,even if I do something who guarantees she will like that' he thought,this was making him more nervous and Azula seem to notice that,she sat straight hand crossed over her chest.
"I don't expect anything as gift from you by.."she was cut off by Aang hand on the other side of her face guiding to rest her again on his shoulder"Sleep"he whispered.
"Idiot"
"I know"
