OXYGEN

Azula wants to feel her heart beating until they run out of time.

They breathe each other in like the two of them are both oxygen. They need to make the best of what is left for them as they await the coup in the morning. Azula wanted someone in bed with her, and Ty Lee assumed it was about some kind of sexual preparation… which it was, but now they lie together and neither wants to be the first to let go.

Ty Lee just listens to Azula's beating heart, and Azula feels Ty Lee's breath quicken to be in time with Azula's.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

They would suffocate without each other.
