One-shot II: Aang's favorite child.
The babies were already one year old, everything had gone well, without any inconvenience or unforeseen, everyone in the kingdom was happy for the arrival of the two heirs who now had one year of life. Aang was in the babies bedroom, he played with the little ones while a lot of murmurs were heard outside those doors, throughout the palace they talked about how the future of the two children would be, some said that the avatar already knew which of his children would be airbender and so he already had a favorite child. Some said it was Izumi and others said it was Tenzin, but no one came to a single conclusion. It didn't take long for these rumors to reach the Firelord and he began to wonder whether Aang had a favorite child too, so one day while Aang was spending time with his children he came over to see them. Aang played with the children happily, they had some dolls and the children giggle from time to time.
"Who's the prettiest girl?" Aang said taking baby Izumi in his arms causing her to let out a small laugh, then he approached his other baby "and how can we forget the most charming boy?" Aang said and then kiss sonically the face of the boy who also let out a laugh, Aang left the two children playing on the floor for a moment, happily biting their stuffed animals and approached the door, without opening it, he began to speak next to this "Zuko, I know you are there, so you better come in at once"
As he said this, the door opened slowly and the children seemed excited to see their father, Tenzin crawled towards his father until he carried him, Aang approached Izumi and took her in his arms.
"I suppose you heard me."
"Something like that, you're not that discreet" he said almost as if it were a joke.
"I... wanted to ask you something" Zuko muttered somewhat nervous, Aang saw his expression and smiled slightly.
"About if I have a favorite child or something?"
"I think so, everyone talks about it... it's something strange for me to think about that I couldn't say that I love someone more" he spoke while stroking baby Tenzin's head who seemed to begin to entertain himself with his father ostentatious robes.
"I can tell who is my favorite" Aang said as he downplayed it and he cooed to his little girl, Zuko saw it strangely at that answer and Aang gave him a small mocking smile "of course, if Izumi is my favorite girl in the whole world and clearly Tenzin is my favorite boy in the whole world."
Zuko was a bit dismayed at that statement although after a couple of seconds, he gets the point.
"Then in what position do you leave me?"
"I'm glad you understand that you are not my favorite" he said sticking out his tongue in a very childish way that made Izumi laugh and although she wanted to avoid Zuko too.
"That's not fair" Zuko said with fake indignation approaching Aang "yes you're my favorite man" then he gave him a loud kiss on the cheek, making both of them laugh "all my life I have been surrounded by criticism, I think I no longer really matter" Aang finished looking directly at his husband.
"I guess you're right, it just made me curious... although you're my favorite too."
Aang blushed a bit without realizing it and gave Zuko a light kiss on the lips. That day the Firelord left all his responsibilities to be able to spend a great day with his favorite people.
