Solider by Fleurie best describes Azula as a whole. I think it's the perfect song for my oc Azula, so please give the song a chance.
Azula's POV
"You don't have to do this."
"Azula I want to do this." Steve grabbed my hand. "Everything's okay." He kissed me,and it never failed to amaze me that he could literally kiss away my fears. I reached for my necklace, pressed down on the opal, and a green wooden door appeared. I nervously walked to the door and opened it. I could see the palace, I turned to Steve and offered I him reassuring smile. We walked through the door, to say that I was nervous was an understatement. I pressed the opal again and the door disappeared. The door had dropped us off in the woods near the palace, we walked half a block before we reached the palace gates, and we walked up to the guards who were stationed at the palaces gates.
"Tell Firelord Zuko that his sister Azula wishes to see him." The guard spoke to another guard, and that guy ran towards the palace. I was shocked at how quickly the guard came back. He signalled towards the guard at the gate, and the gate opened up.
"The Firelord is waiting for you in your mother's garden. He said that you would know which one he meant," said the guard. Steve put his hand into mine, and he gently squeezed it. The guards were staring at Steve's hair their wasn't anyone in their world that had blonde hair, so they were amazed by Steve. As we were walking through the palace I noticed that Steve would stop to gaze in wonder at some of the art work.
"I'm not good enough," Steve said. He had stopped walking. "You're a princess. You were raised in a palace with people waiting on your every need. Azula I can give you a comfortable life, but I can't give you this." He hung his head in shame, so I kissed him trying to convey all the love that I had for him.
"When I had all this I was miserable, but with you I'm happy." I grabbed his face and made him look at me. "Steve I love you. I would rather live without all this, and have you. I need you to understand that Steve. I'm not leaving you." I gave him a reassuring smile before kissing him.
"Do you mean it?"
"Mean what?" I noticed that Steve was blushing.
"You said that you loved me. Do you mean it?" I couldn't help myself. I kissed him again, and he still left me breathless.
"I meant it Steve, I fucking love you."
"I love you to, Zula," said Steve. We continued to hold hands until we got to my mother's garden. Steve walked up to the fire lilies.
"The tiger lilies I got you don't compare to these lilies."
"Come on, I can see my brother." I felt bad for rushing him, but looking at my mother's flowers hurt too much. Mai was the first one to see me, and she looked like she was seeing a ghost. I stopped walking and stood ten feet away from them. I hadn't talked to Zuko since I decided that I would rather travel the world with Aang. When I left my relationship with Zuko had been on shaky ground. I understood why he had me put in the asylum, because after the war I had tried to kill myself three times. I know that Zuko loves me, that was never the issue. The issue was that he didn't know how to act around me, and that meant that he always treated me like a sad wounded flower, like a porcelain doll that was about to break at any second. Zuko stood up, and turned around. He stood there frozen in shock, his face became pale, and by the way he was staring at me you'd think he saw a ghost. He slowly walked up to me he stop just a couple of feet away. He had a look of amazement, and I noticed that tears were forming in his eyes.
"Is it really you?" I made a small blue flame appear on the palm of my hand.
"Yeah, Zuzu it's me." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, Zuko flung himself at me. He scooped me up and hugged me tightly. I couldn't help myself, it's been so long since we hugged each other, so I buried my face into his neck. I felt such a rush of emotion, so I started to cry. We let each other go, and I noticed that Zuko had been crying too.
"I thought that you were dead. The moon spirit told Aang that your spirit had left this world. Where were you, and who is he?" Zuko pointed towards Steve.

"So let me get this straight you went to a different world. A world where their soulmates name appears on their body when they reach full maturity, and this guy is one of your two soulmates. Did I get it right?"
"Yes Zuko, you got it right," I said.
"Okay," Zuko said.
"Okay?"
"Azula I'm just happy that you're alive, because until recently we thought you were dead. I'm happy that you have a soul mate or two," Zuko said. He got up from his chair, and walked towards me. Zuko stood in front of me, got on his knees, and grabbed my hand. He engulfed my hands with his, and bent over some more to place a gentle kiss on my hand. "I know that somethings happened between us, so I...I need you to know that I love you, and if you ever need anything or anyone that I'm here, Zula."
"I know, and I love you too Zuzu." For the first time in my life I had said his nickname without any malice. He smiled at me, then he grabbed my face and pulled it towards him. Zuko gently kissed my forehead, and for the first time I felt loved. I felt this calm acceptance, and the realization that we could be a family. If father could see us now. Our father left his mark on us both mentally and physically. For as long as I remember my father has always tried to keep us on opposing sides, and now we're allies. I caressed his cheek, and placed a kiss on his forehead. Hoping that it conveyed all love and devotion I have towards him. Zuko gave my hand another gentle squeeze, before standing up to go sit on his chair.
"What are your intentions with my sister?" I couldn't help but smile at Zuko's attempt on sounding intimidating.
"That's precisely why we're here, Zuzu. Steve wants to ask you a quest-"
"I came here to ask you would allow me to court your sister," said Steve. "Firelord sir would it be okay to court your sister."
"Oh...come with me their are many questions that I need to ask you before I give you my answer." Zuko looked to Mai, and she nodded her head. "Zula, I need you to stay here with Mai."
"Why should I st-"
"Azula, I need to do this... I need you to let me do this." He gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead before leaving with my brother.
