Modern AU.


.27. Pretty Girl

Sitting in an empty Chinese restaurant near her all-girls college, Azula opens the fortune cookie. 'Your beauty could tear apart empires.'

It certainly is the strangest one she has ever seen. Most of them sound like they were written by her Uncle; this one stands out amongst the cheap excuses for wisdom concealed in cases of sugar.

The waitress keeps looking over at her, beaming and blushing. Azula does not know what to make of it. Then it hits her; they go to school together. But Ty Lee wastes her time with a gaggle of lowly girls, while Azula reserves her attention for only those most deserving.

Slowly, the waitress walks over.

"Do you like your fortune?"

"It isn't much of one," Azula replies, smirking. Ty Lee looks quite embarrassed, which is an oddly satisfying sensation. "It only told me the obvious. No predictions or petty wisdom."

"You're a very pretty girl," Ty Lee says, smiling. She does not sound nervous, but her fingers subtly tremble. "The prettiest I've ever met."

Azula looks her up and down.

"Did you want me to have this?" she asks, holding up the slip of paper.

Ty Lee blushes, smiles and nods. "We keep a few like those for, uh, for the right customers."

She giggles, a sweet sound like a windchime in the softest summer breeze.

Azula cannot ignore the gesture; she likes it.

"I am more than just a pretty girl. I can also do very pretty things." She runs her fingertips across Ty Lee's soft arm.

She presses her lips against Ty Lee's and feels the other woman's body shudder. It seems almost too easy. Ty Lee gently touches the side of Azula's face as she sinks deeper into the kiss. The waitress's hands stray, subtly brushing against the breasts of her customer. She feels her nipples harden beneath the silky fabric of her scarlet shirt.

Not a soul is around to see or hear, but Azula regally stands up and steps back.

"I suppose I will see you around," she says, smirking.

Ty Lee stands and watches the prettiest girl in the universe walk away.
