Since I've got a lot on my plate with writing I decided to mash my femslash feb prompt (red) with the first winter-atla-femslash prompt (first kiss)
There are many things that make her blush, whether she likes it or not-she certainly doesn't. But all the same there is an assortment of things; making small talk and thinking back on conversations past, recalling past failures, and getting caught crying.
But these days, mostly it is Yue that leaves her face red.
The girl's laugh, her light and lithe speech, her soft smiles, and long lashed eyes.
Azula peers into the canal, watching small waves ripple the reflection of a splendid full moon. She nestles herself deeper into her furs and shivers. She ought to go inside before she freezes herself to the bone.
She backs away from the water and stretches her arms. When she looks back at the water, a new reflection appears on the surface of it next to her own. She hasn't yet turned around and her cheeks are already burning.
The Water Tribe princess leans against the bridge rails and remarks, "it's a beautiful night, isn't it?" Azula chances a look and finds herself face to face with the prettiest smile.
"Y-yes, it's nice. Cold but it's nice."
Yue laughs and Azula's face grows hotter still. She isn't sure what is worth laughing at.
"If you're cold then why don't you go inside?"
"I was about to."
"Then what happened."
"Iā¦" She begins. Yue tilts her head and the moonlight catches her face just right. It puts an enthralling and silvery glow into her blue eyes. It halos her complexion and shimmers off of her silky white hair. "I found something pretty to look at. The moon! I'm talking about the moon!" Agni is she grateful that she can blame her colored cheeks on the cold.
.oOo.
Yue laughs again. The fire princess is quite something. Poise and grace and elegant speeches, a lovely face, and a way of carrying herself with confidence. And yet she is stumbling her way through this.
She shouldn't tease the girl but she can't quite resist. "That's not the only pretty thing out here tonight."
Yue didn't think that Azula's face could grow any more scarlet than it already was. She clears her throat. "Yes. The snow looks lovely too. It's...glittery."
Yue pats the princess' head. "I was talking about a certain firebender."
Azula coughs nervously, "right yes, you're correct. I look nice tonight." She folds her arms.
For a moment she simply observes the fire princess, watches her shift from one foot to the other, watches her fiddle with her hair. "Is there another pretty thing that you've seen tonight?"
Azula opens her mouth and close it again. Several times. Yue takes her hands, they are so pleasantly warm.
All it takes is one kiss and her face goes wholly red. She imagines that the princess tries to keep the blush from spreading across her face but it is beyond her control. As far as Yue knows, the girl has never been kissed before, not a real kiss anyhow.
She makes an effort to return the kiss but she doesn't quite know how. It is good enough for Yue. It is endearing, she is sure that the firebender will get used to the affection eventually.
"You're adorable." She pokes the princess' nose.
She folds her arms over her chest again with a half pout. "I am a fierce princess and you should fear me."
Yue ruffles her hair. "Maybe when you're attending council meetings, you're a little intimidatingā¦"
"Correct, I am intimidating." She agrees.
"You're also a softie."
She shakes her head, "incorrect."
Yue quirks a brow. "Is that right?"
Azula swallows, "yes."
She wraps her arms around the princess' torso and rubs her cheek against hers. "If you say so." She gives the princess another kiss. She pulls her hood over her head in one unsuccessful attempt to conceal another blush. Yue decides to show her at least a little mercy and pretends like she doesn't notice. "Come on, let's get you inside before you freeze solid." She gives the princess a little squeeze. She always knew that the princess was a softie deep down.
