Azula stared at the engagement announcements in front of her and was absolutely baffled as to how there were so many. She squinted and gazed and tried to work out when she developed more than two friends, at which point she realized that Ty Lee was going to invite hundreds of people Azula hated to their wedding.
Which was terrifying. Abjectly terrifying.
"Are you sure we need to invite an entire island of people... and all of these aristocrats and circus performers and..." Azula just trailed off at Ty Lee's severe expression. The princess cleared her throat and continued making the announcement she was working on. She was unsure what she had gotten herself into by proposing to Ty Lee solely because Zuko pointed out how lucky she was to have someone who saved her from a life in prison wrongly accused of a crime.
Ty Lee finished the engagement announcement she had been working intently on with her tongue out and her eyes more focused than usual. "These are all my friends, and I love them dearly. If you had friends you could invite them too."
Azula rolled her eyes and returned to the dull work. She did not know why she was doing this, but she supposed it was some absurd attachment of love. Ick, love. Azula, Princess Azula of the Fire Nation, was in love. With a circus freak.
How glorious and glamorous. And her wedding was fast, fast approaching, and her feet were getting colder than the South Pole. But she loved that woman and the way she looked so ridiculous when she was concentrating. And so she made the stupid engagement announcements and the invitations for people she hated to attend her wedding.
It was not the Azula she imagined she would be when she was a little girl with big dreams of being Fire Lord. She thought of herself as some vicious war lord, but perhaps... hm, perhaps all people had their weaknesses, and Ty Lee was hers.
Azula had to admit it was nice to feel human upon occasion. And she felt quite human as Ty Lee stacked the last engagement announcement and bounced over to Azula with great grace. She kissed the princess gently and Azula leaned into it, breathing in and Ty Lee's eyes drifted towards the heave of her flawless chest.
"Thank you for doing this," Ty Lee whispers as Azula moves to kiss her again. "I know it's probably not how you want to get married."
Azula replied smoothly, "The only thing I care about in my wedding is that I'm marrying you. The rest doesn't matter."
And they were certainly the right words, because Ty Lee just kissed her far more passionately before tearing at her clothes.
This part of the engagement announcements was the only part that Azula liked.
Fucking relentlessly on top of them.
