Dedicated To My Suite Mates
Hope This makes up for the back ship drawing
Love, Your sweet suite mate
To others, she was a cruel, manipulative Princess of Fire with a heart of stone. But that is not what Ty Lee saw. The flexible warrior saw much more than what Azula allowed anyone else to see the warmer woman within. She was a woman with so many scars that her companion wanted to heal with devotion and kindness. At the moment, the two women were out in the gardens of the fire nation palace. Mai had bailed on them for a date with Zuko, so it just left the two alone while life went on around the palace. Ty Lee looked up, her fingers gripping the cool grass as her toes pointed straight in the air. She was always in the preference of contorting her body and walking around before staying still. Azula was near the turtle duck pond, staring out over the water with a dull and faraway look in her eyes. Ty Lee had noticed that Azula seemed very distant lately, more so than normal. IT seemed that there was something weighing on her shoulders. Tilting forward, she came to a normal human position and walked over to sit beside Azula. Ty Lee leaned against the smooth bark, looking as her friend didn't seem to notice she got there. She watched the princess, her heart breathing clearly for being so close. For a seemingly heartless princess, she really was pretty. This wasn't the first time she noticed her porcelain skin, so smooth and glowing in contrast with her dark raven hair. The performer pondered if her skin, her cheek and down her long neck to the swell of her breast was as soft as it looked. Ty Lee always dreamed she felt like velvet. Azula shifted a bit, closing her eyes as her painful memories seemed to tug and wash over her. Ty Lee wanted to pull her closer, nestle her sweet form tight against her and let the princess know everything was alright. That she would always love her.
"Ty Lee," Azula spoke. Her heart and spirits rose, hearing her name roll of the Princess' tongue. Her tone, as stoic as she made it sound, hinted her sadness.
"Yes Azula, what is it?" She asked. Azula never turned her amber eyes towards her pink friend. It was like she didn't want the pain to show through her orbs.
"I wonder sometimes if I will ever fine the love of someone." She admitted. Ty Lee's heart skipped as she did all she could do to hold back her smile and excitement. Could this be her chance to confess her ultimate love and attraction for the dangerous woman? Ty Lee silenced her thoughts as Azula continued, "I mean… Mai has Zuko and even my father has noblewoman Zi Yen at his fingertips for pleasure." She said, "It makes me wonder if I will ever have anyone to love me." Ty Lee chewed her lower lip to resist herself from bursting with excitement.
"Maybe there is someone already who cares for you," Ty Lee said. Azula scoffed, like she didn't believe her. The lips on the woman tightened, a slight anger filling her. How dare she? How dare she not believe in the face someone could love her. Ty Lee reached out, grasping Azula's chin and turning her head. She was risking a lot doing this, mostly Azula's wrath. But it was something she was willing to risk. Azula's eyes were wide in shock at Ty Lee's boldness.
"Ty Lee! What are you doing?" Azula demanded. The other didn't hear her. Her eyes were locked on her supple lips that seemed to pout out. Ty Lee's thumb traced over them, feeling the velvet beneath her touch. She couldn't resist anymore. The circus girl took what she wanted from the princess, a subtle but searing kiss. At first there was resistance from Azula. It didn't surprise her, seeing she caught the princess off guard. But the resistance soon left and it seemed that the princess was enjoying Ty Lee's touch.
Ty Lee pulled back, opening her eyes to stare down with her grey orbs at her love. The entire cold exterior was gone from Azula now. Her eyes were shinning with shock and confusion while her lips still parted from the kiss and were slightly swollen from it also. Now that she had her attention, Ty Lee's gaze softened. There was a warmth, devotion and love in her eyes as she cupped Azula's face. She used her hand a moment, moving a fallen bang behind her cheek to reveal her beautiful face.
"Azula, love is closer than it seems." She said. The fire nation princess stared in confusion, not lifting her hands from her lap. Her eyes were widening with shock as she stumbled.
"I…I don't understand." She said, almost not believing what just happened. Ty Lee smiled and explained.
"You are my first and only love Azula." She whispered. It seemed like she didn't understand, or like she didn't want to. The idea must have been hard to grasp for Azula, someone loving her. But Ty Lee was a patient woman, her love having been strong since their childhood.
"But…you can't….I…" Azula was not herself. She was starting to shudder and shiver. This was so new to her, having someone actually love her and not fear her.
"But I do." She whispered, brushing her thumb over her lips again. "I love everything about you Azula. Your beauty, your strength, how you move and command a room with your presence. You are such a wonderful person…even if others don't see it. But I do…I do." Azula nodded, understanding as she was at a loss for words. Ty Lee leaned in, kissing her again, "And through it all, I will always be your servant…devoted to you my beautiful princess." She whispered. Azula glanced down, exhaling sweetly as she then looked at her childhood friend.
"Care to go for a walk?" She asked. Ty Lee smiled, seeing the reciprocated devotion in her eyes. Life was good.
