wore yellow
"I'm trying it out," Ty Lee chimed, grinning as she spoke. "I think yellow is a friendly and positive color. It's the color of sunshine!"
Azula remembered when Ty Lee used to be quiet. Still cheery and social, but quiet. No one could understand what she was saying because her voice was too soft and she was always smiling as she spoke, so reading her lips was nearly impossible.
Now she was loud.
Azula liked her better quiet.
"I see. And you want me to try it out with you?" Azula asked, a skeptical gleam in her eyes. Ty Lee met them and felt that fluttery feeling inside of her. It was weird, and she didn't really get it, but she liked it.
"Yes. I mean, Mai obviously won't wear yellow."
Azula cocked an eyebrow.
"So, I am the second choice?" she asked mockingly.
Ty Lee blushed and panicked. This fluttery feeling inside of her was very different.
"No, of course not! I just would've done it as a trio to make it less hard." Ty Lee grinned. Azula believed her.
"I will not wear yellow."
"Oh, give me something please, princess," Ty Lee whined. Azula laughed. "Please, please, please. I have the cutest yellow clothes. Or, just wear the flowers. You'd look so good in one of these cors-corsairs? Corsairs is the word?"
Corsage, Azula wanted to correct, but she found it to be a waste of her time.
"I will grant you any other wish. I will never wear yellow, no matter how cutely you try to beg," Azula replied.
Ty Lee tapped her chin. "I need to think on this."
"Just be spontaneous. What do you want most in this world? I am crown princess now that dear ZuZu is gone. I can get you whatever you want. Other than wearing that." Azula pointed at the robes with a look of distaste.
Ty Lee blushed even harder than when she said stupid words about Mai.
Maybe this was her chance.
"It's kinda stupid," Ty Lee said.
She was quiet again, Azula noticed.
"I would expect as much," Azula replied.
"Would you…" Ty Lee began to whisper even more quietly, "…kiss me?"
Azula could not hide her surprise, as she wished she could.
"Well, a future Fire Lord must be true to her word," Azula said. Her voice shook, which a future Fire Lord's should not. "That doesn't sound hard. You are attractive enough for me to do that."
Ty Lee's eyes lit up.
Azula made sure that hers did not as she leaned forward and…missed. It was her first kiss and she missed, nearly falling off of her chair and into the pile of yellow clothes.
Ty Lee caught her and kissed her much more smoothly.
It was astronomically better than wearing yellow.
