Two weeks later, Azula found herself stomping angrily down Ba Sing Se Highs hallways to get to her next class, ex-boyfriend Chen following her like a lost puppy.

"Azula just forgive me this once pretty please!" Chen begged her to forgive him for saying all those mean things a few weeks prior just before breaking up with her.

Azula rudely shoved past a group of unsuspecting freshmen.

"Chen this isn't our first rodeo. You've hurt me many times before and like a girly teenaged idiot I have forgiven you many times. What you said two weeks ago was the very last time you will ever be able to treat me like that. Besides, aren't you with that girl Nya now? How is that going?"
"Aw come on Azula you know that I love you and only you. All these other girls don't really matter. It took me like a day to realize that I only want you," he said as Azula slowed her pace before stopping in front of the door to her history class. She swiveled around to face him, confused.

"Love me?" Azula hated it when he said that to her. It was her weakness she supposed came from relationship with her parents. Those words aren't uttered to her very often.

"Yes, Azula I love you and I want us to get back together again."

Azula was tempted to say yes even though she was still upset with what he had called her that day.

Just as she was about to say yes someone caught her eye. It made her snap out of it.

"Is calling you girlfriend a crazy bitch loving? Is making fun of the fact that I have a mental illness a joke to you? Love me... Ha! I'm really glad that we broke up for good this time. You really are so pathetic. And just to let you know I fucked someone else right after we broke up.

Azula felt such satisfaction at the look on Chens face as he began to sputter.

"What?! Who?! Does he go here? I will fuck him up for touching what's mine!"

Aang, who was walking up behind Chen when she said it, stared at her with wide eyes, hoping that she wouldn't tell the world what they had done that night at the party. She thought about revealing the secrets of that night but thought better about it. She liked holding it over Aang's head anyway.

"First of all, Chen, you don't own me. I am not yours. Second, it's none of your business who it is just know that his dick is bigger than yours and he made me cum twice in a row," Azula glanced at Aang and smirked at the blush covering his face," Something you have never accomplished not even once. Do you still love me now Chen? Or am I still a crazy bitch."

Chen, angered by Azula's disrespect, grabbed her roughly by her arms. Aang stepped in between them shoving Chen off her surprising Chen and momentarily shocking Azula.

"What the fuck man."

Towering over Chen, Aang glared down at the other teen. Though Aang felt that it was something very personal that he had walked into, and he may not have a good relationship with Azula. He did not take abuse lightly and wouldn't hesitate to fight if he put his hands on Azula again.

"You're blocking the way into the classroom." Aang stated firmly his jaw set angrily. His blush was no longer there but a murderous expression replaced it.

Anyone could see the usually jovial Air nomad was very serious and was not talking about the classroom in any way.

"So go around. Duh! Azu—"

Chen turned back to Azula and tried to reach out to grab her again but was pushed roughly, face first into the locker next to the doorway before he could get a chance. Aang held his arms behind his back to help keep him intact against the lockers.

"Do you know who she is? I heard and saw everything you just said and did to her. Do you know what will happen to you if her people find out that you were abusing her?" Aang questioned.

Pulling Chens arm back more causing him to shout in pain.

"Yes, yes! I know who she rolls with! I know, I know. I'm sorry! Please!"

"Then who do you think you are touching her like that? Huh? I should fuck you up right now for that shouldn't I?!" Aang grits his teeth in anger as he pulls Chens Shoulder back more, listening to his screams for help from classmates standing around watching.

Aang felt a hand on his shoulder, he knew it was a feminine touch and expected it to be Katara or someone he was close with. He then heard her voice and realized who was touching him. Azula moves into his line of vision. She is so close she can hear and feel Chen breathing harshly in her, but she ignores him completely focusing on Aang who has now diverted his attention to her.

"Aang it's okay, I'm okay. Just let him go. You're going to break his arm and get suspended. You and I both know he isn't worth that. I know you don't want that to happen. Please. It's alright, trust me." Azula pleads with him. She doesn't really care about Chen, but she really didn't expect Aang to get into this the way he did. She didn't mean for anyone else to get in trouble.

Azula breathes a sigh of relief when Aang lets out a slow breath and loosens his hold on Chen who holds his shoulder and runs away shouting curses at both Aang and Azula while he did.

Aang turns to glare at Azula. He was still bristling with anger at Chen and Azula little show.

He couldn't believe Chen would be such a manipulator. He also couldn't understand why she would allow herself to be treated like that by people who were beneath her. He also didn't understand why she would tell the entire world about her sex life.

Azula gave him an awkward smile. He'd never been this level of upset before and she knew that she was the reason for it, but she didn't know what to do about it.

"Uh-

"Aang! What's going on?" Azula rolled her eyes in annoyance at Katara's voice. She turned around to see the Ice Princess with her idiotic older brother. Of course, they would be together.

Azula glared heatedly when Katara moved to give Aang a hug she didn't miss the frown on her brother's face when she did.

Aang relaxed slightly when Katara hugged him and explained to her what had happened.

Zuko cursed when he heard about Chen and was about to search for the battered teenager before Azula stopped him.

"Aang already did you the favor and sprained his shoulder. He won't come around me for a while."

Aang watched Azula as she spoke, and she looked back at him.

The bell for 1st period rang loud and Aang tore his gaze away from her. He told Zuko and Katara that he would see them at lunch and ducked into the classroom first.

Azula ignored her brother and Katara and followed Aang into the classroom.

"What was all that about this morning?"

Aang jumped in surprise when he closed his locker door shut only to see Katara standing right there waiting for him.

"Spirits, Katara! Way to announce your presence." Aang took a deep breath to settle himself.

Katara smiled brightly," Where would the fun be if I did announce myself. Anyway, I didn't know you and Azula were close to each other like that," Katara stated with a curious lilt.

"Right. We don't, I just couldn't tolerate anyone laying their hands on another person and he was treating her like crap. I just couldn't see it happening in front of me and not do anything to help. Besides she is Zuko's sister."

Aang explained though he knew his reasoning was different. See, though Aang tried to avoid anything that had to do Azula he realized that he couldn't get her out of his head. He didn't necessarily like her per se, but he knew he didn't want anyone else to have her. It was so toxic and so unlike him, it really scared him that having sex with Azula might have really changed the composition of his brain.

When Chen touched her, Aang just reacted. The touch upset he was sure no one would be able to talk him down from hurting Chen. Yet, Azula had managed just that and all Aang had to do was look at her to calm himself down in even the slightest.

It was something he found very odd.

"Aang! Are you sure you're okay, you just zoned out there. Do you need to rest or maybe are you hungry? You did skip out on lunch today." Katara smothered Aang with her concerns. Was she always so… motherly?

"Uh Yea—" Aang's words trailed off as her spotted a certain dark-haired girl walking down the hall with her two best friends.

"You sure cause, you can come over after school—"

Katara started but fell when she realized Aang's diverted attention.

"Um, Hello! Earth to Aang! Spirits, what is with you today?

Azula smirked slightly when she realized that Aang was ignoring Katara and staring at her instead. She walked right past them while muttering something to her girlfriends causing them to laugh at Katara and Aang.

Their giggles brought Aang back to present and his cheeks dusted in a light pink blush.

"Sorry Katara. I just haven't been feeling like myself lately. I have a bunch of homework catch up on and scholarships to apply for tonight. I'll call you later, okay?" Aang kissed Katara on her left cheek before throwing his bookbag over his should and walking away.

It was repetitive small taps on his window that roused him. Aang realized he fell asleep while finishing up his schoolwork.

TAP. TAP. TAP.

Aang jumped slightly and understood that someone was trying to get his attention.

He stood from his desk and walked over the window next to his bed. When he looked out, he saw Azula standing there, a brown paper bag in one hand, a small rock in the other gearing up to throw that one at his window.

"What in the spirits are you doing here so late?

"Are you going to let me in or not?

Somehow, he knew what she what she was there for. He contemplated whether it would be the best decision to allow her in his home.

Aang was trying to work on his relationship with Katara and yet it all felt surreal as he closed his window before heading down to open the front door to let her in.
