A/N: Hello, I'm alive! I've been struggling to adapt to life in Puerto Rico. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but it's different to live it. Also, I received the news that the ex I left in California, has died. I was clearly not over him yet and love him still very much. And, I came up with another story idea for a different fandom. So, updates might be slower than anticipated.

"Now that I have space in my schedule since I don't have to go to the Southern Water Tribes anymore, I wanted to do work on the United Republic of Nations." Azula addressed the Fire Lord.
"I can't think of any tasks or missions for you in there at the moment, but I don't see why you couldn't do it alongside the Air Temples project." Zuko rubbed his chin in thought. "I will consult the Avatar when he gets back. Is there anything else you would like to address for now?"
"That would be all."
"Then you're dismissed."
Azula started to leave the throne room but paused. "Um, Zuko?" The princess addressed him as his sister now.
"Yes, 'Zula?" He used the nickname his spouse coined for her, not missing that they were talking on a familial level now.
"Have you received any news from Aang?"
Zuko was taken aback a little that Azula was also on a name basis with Aang, and wondering how he is doing too. He supposed that having been working together, they also became friends. "Not yet, but I'll make sure to relay anything to you as well."
"Thanks." She continued her way out.

The new villain, Bao, had set the meeting at a firelight fountain in the lower ring. Unfrequented enough for the fight he knew he was going to start, but public enough for reasons. The sun is beginning to set, and the lights are already lit. Bao's eyes glint with malicious intent, he is tall and a menacing figure even with his beta status. Aang returned his gaze with the same energy, despite his natural inclination towards pacifism. He is high on alpha instincts, unable to think of nothing else other than the omega waiting for him. Behind him are Toph and the other Kyoshi Warriors, alert in case Bao's men do anything.
With the swiftness of airbending, Aang got close to Bao in a blur. Using his staff, he delivered a blow aimed to incapacitate in one strike, but not enough to significantly harm. Bao's eyed widened as he fell to the floor, surprised the Avatar initiated the fight. He quickly stood up and regained his earthbending stance, glint back in his eyes as he could also use this further against him. Away from them, Toph's nose twitched with irritation by a familiar alpha's threatening scent. Aang has been releasing his pheromones carelessly, further showing his uncharacteristic aggression today. A small crowd started to gather to watch the fight.
Bao disrupted the earth underneath Aang where he promptly jumped off and got away from the attack. A trail of earth was on his way to knock him off where he was about to land, but Aang was able to double jump and evade this too. Being far from his enemy again, the Avatar attacked with short and quick long-range firebending jabs. Having made the beta block and evade, Aang shortened the distance once more. The alpha emphasized his landing by making the earth shoot out in Bao's face, drawing the first trickle of blood from his nose.
Seeing it as a sign of his imminent victory, Aang took a deep breath, remembering his role as balance keeper. "This doesn't have to escalate further, step away and this ends here." The alpha tried to persuade.
Bao wiped the blood off with the sleeve of his robes. "Tch, you clearly meant to use violence from the beginning! You came at me first, but that's to be expected from an alpha Avatar." He made sure to speak loud enough for the people in the back watching. His words were intentional to dim the Avatar in a bad light.
Aang didn't respond to that, having heard enough about alpha Avatars this, omega Avatars that. Resorting back to airbending, he used his staff to lift and forcefully throw the enemy to the ground. The alpha then made the first physical contact with the beta by pinning him to the ground with a foot to his chest. Bao laughed knowingly, as if he's being waiting to have the Avatar this close. From one of his oversized robes, he pulled out a dagger and scratched the leg.
Aang pulled back from the sensation of skin breaking. "All that for a small wound?" He had thought it would be a worse injury.
Bao laughed ominously before getting back to his feet. He no longer adopted a battle stance, satisfied with the number of bystanders. "I don't need to inflict serious damage, that you'll do yourself to the world when the aphrodisiac laced in the blade kicks in." He spoke low enough for only the Avatar to hear.
Only when he comprehended the meaning of those words is that Aang felt the sting coming up from the small scratch. The aphrodisiac's effects began right away, and he could tell they were going to build up over time. The air felt denser and sweat started forming in the alpha's forehead. His thoughts started to become clouded with an unknown rage that had him shake his head and take a deep breath. Aang felt the need to ground himself with earthbending. "Ty Lee, chi block me!"
Bao took the opportunity to flee. Toph went after them but could only apprehend a few henchmen without hurting any civilians. Meanwhile, the Kyoshi Warriors landed many chi blocking jabs, but the Avatar was nowhere near being subdued. Smelling the start of the worst rut the world has ever seen, Toph knocked Aang out with a rock to the head.
X-O-X
When Aang woke up next, the first thing to hit him was the pain in his head. He tried to alleviate it by rubbing the area with his hand, but found himself unable to move it where he wanted it. In fact, he can't move at all, he realized he's been metalbent to a wall. The next thing to raise within him is anger: "WHO THE HELL DARED TO RESTRAINT—" the memories of what happened earlier interrupted his own alpha rage flooded thoughts. He looked around and recognized he was in a semi-restored lounge room of the Eastern Air Temple.
Aang sighed and closed his eyes, relaxing into the restraints, when an unwilling buck of his hips jolted him wide awake again. He doesn't know why he looked down when he knew what he was going to see, but yes, he had a throbbing erection. With confirming that it was there, a sudden urge to do something about it came to him. He began to trash uselessly against the restraints.
"It's a good thing that I never taught you metalbending." Toph said as she entered the room when she heard the commotion.
"YOU! You did this! Let me out of here!" He flashed his teeth at the female alpha, but it went unregistered to her blind eyes.
"Oh yeah, sure! Let the Avatar go on a rampage. You're staying right there until your rut is over."
"You can't do this! I'm the Avatar—I-I have to stop Bao!" He quickly added to try to uselessly convince Toph.
"The best thing you can do right now to defeat him is to stay out of people's harm."
Bao's words ring in Aang's ears, the Avatar going feral is exactly what he wants. Aang agrees with Toph's plan at the expense of his own comfort. But with the unnaturalness of this rut, he can feel his patience running out and scheming ways in which he can escape. He shakes his head off those thoughts, "spirits! What now?"
"As much as I'd like to, we can't keep knocking you out unconscious. Chi blocking doesn't last as long as we can handle. Ty Lee sent Sokka a messenger hawk to see if he has any ideas to make this go away faster." Toph explained.
X-O-X-O-X
"Azula! AZULA!" Screamed Sokka while bursting into her new office at Republic City.
"WHAT?!" The aforementioned hurled back as the other's outburst made her drop some paperwork.
"I have news about Aang!" He knew from Zuko that Azula had asked about his whereabouts. Sokka had an idea as to why was that.
"He'd better be in a life-or-death situation; he stood me up." Said the newly appointed diplomat in her usual unbothered tone, as she went to organize a different area. The now scattered papers forgotten.
"Kind of? Here!" Sokka handed her the message.
Azula reads it over, every line making her expression a little bit more worried. "So, what's your big idea, idea guy?"
"Well... you."
Of course she is. She doesn't hesitate for even one second and starts packing a few things. "What are you doing just standing there? Let's go!"
Sokka rubbed his temple. "A-and your first heat-I meant to ask how you passed your first heat."
"I got sedated, why?"
"That's actually plan A, we need to pack sedatives as well. I cannot look at Zuko in the eye and say I first offered off his sister to an alpha in rut."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Azula dragged the other omega out.
X-O-X-O-X
Sokka and Azula arrived a day and a half later via air ship. They found Toph and the Kyoshi Warriors in a disheveled state, keeping a rutting alpha Avatar in one place proved to be quite challenging. The master earthbender quickly sensed that Sokka didn't come alone.
"Um, Sokka, why is purple platypus bear here?" It was a rhetorical question, as Toph can put two and two together.
Ty Lee came rushing from wherever she was, "Azula?!" She looked at Toph and drew the same conclusion. "Wait, you don't have to do this!" The contortionist grabbed Azula by the arm and began taking her away while yelling behind her. "And Sokka, shame on you for putting a fellow omega up for something like this!"
"It's not like that! She even agreed before knowing what plan A was!" Sokka got the sedatives out to defend himself.
"But she is plan B." Toph rebuffed.
"I mean, yes-but only if the sedatives don't work!" The male omega offered a sheepish smile.
Azula managed to get free from her friend's grip. "Guys! Why does it matter which is plan A, B, or C? I agreed to this, I want to do this, I kind of owe him anyway, he helped me before-" Azula cut herself off before she continued oversharing.
Ty Lee turned her friend away from the group, "Azula, you know that just because he helped you before doesn't mean you have to return the favor, right?" She whispered.
"Thanks for worrying, Ty Lee, but it's not like that." Azula got her hand to her mouth to block what she was going to say next. "We were supposed to go on a date if it wasn't for this." She whispered even lower than her friend.
"REALLY?!"
Azula shushed her with a small blush on her face. "Yes, really. But emphasis on 'supposed to,' nothing's official yet, so..." The omega made the shush gesture again, this time asking her friend to be discreet.
Ty Lee pinched her lips, indicating that she intended on keeping the secret. "Well, if you're not doing this out of obligation, then I'm fine with it." She winked at Azula.
Toph was 'observing' the little exchange between the two from the small distance. She hoped to pry some information that'll bring some sense into this situation. Azula seemed to be nervous, but Ty Lee seemed excited with whatever the princess confided. Having had no luck on making sense of that, when Ty Lee walked back to the group with Azula in tow, the female alpha openly sniffed the air. A sweet soothing smell was coming from Azula, sure on her resolve, serene. She asked with a raised eyebrow: "So, what's the verdict?"
"Well, if the sedatives don't work, we send Azula in." Ty Lee responded as if she was commenting on the weather.
"Which has been MY plan all along!" Sokka retorted, offended that they didn't take his original idea seriously in the first place.
Toph ignored the incoming rant and turned in the direction where Azula is standing. "I don't know what you were yapping about, but I now figured out you were being truthful to circus freak. And if she's fine with it, then it's fine with me as well."
"Wait, how can you now tell if I'm telling the truth?" Azula asked, remembering how Toph coined her nickname for her.
"I figured it's the opposite with you." Azula raised an eyebrow that, of course, the other one couldn't see. "It's harder for you to fully express your true self, so you vibrate like a bad liar." With that, Toph started walking away to the other room, not interested in sensing what was about to happen next. "But do me a favor, keep Aang tied up, it was actually a lot of work to finally somewhat contain him."
Ty Lee, with the help of the other Kyoshi Warriors, administered the first dose of sedatives, hoping to calm Aang's raging hormones. The group waited patiently for nearly two hours, but to their dismay, the sedatives had barely noticeable effects on the Avatar. Aang's struggles and growls continued with slightly less frequency as the minutes went on and on, but never stopped. Everyone's gazes slowly turned towards the female omega; their faces told her what they were expecting from her. Azula's cheeks flushed as she realized all eyes were on her, a sudden rush of adrenaline running through her body. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come; she understood it was her turn now.
X-O-X
Azula entered the room where Aang is being held. She was met by an invisible wall of alpha's stench. The omega couldn't believe how powerful the scent was, she felt like she couldn't pass through. The pheromones were affecting her all right, her stomach fluttered, but not in a good way. She had hoped for a sympathetic heat to be triggered, instead, she's feeling a bit intimidated. Somehow knowing that the sedatives at least managed to make him a tad less aggressive and that he's tied up, didn't reassure her. She had to take a step back away from the smell's reach to regain her resolve.
"We have to stop meeting like this." Azula said as she slowly entered Aang's field of view.
The Avatar's gaze darkened, "omega."
"Do you even know who you're talking to?" She now understood Aang's insistence on her calling him by his name when the situation was flipped. She still liked a little too much being called by her secondary sex.
The alpha did look like he knew the answer but could only manage a growl.
"Let me give you a hint: I. Am. The. Princess. of. The Fire Nation." Each word was a step forward and an unexpected confidence boost. She knelt in front of him and grabbed his face to make him look at her. "Who am I?"
Aang swallowed hard, "A-Azula." He suddenly became self-conscious of his positioning. Toph at least allowed him to be restrained in a sitting position, arms down that he wasn't losing blood flow but far apart from his body. His legs too, kept far apart and fully extended that he couldn't bring his knees up even a little bit. Right now, he wanted to do just that to somewhat conceal his erection.
"Good alpha!"
The Avatar gulped, the praise going straight to his dick, if it was possible to get even harder. "You-you know you don't—have to do this..."
"So I've been told, but it'd be my pleasure." Azula smirked. "Do you want me to help you?" She still needed to be sure that this is what he wants. He nodded in response.
Azula leaned in for a kiss. Aang reciprocated before she even reached his mouth. Mouth too open, too much teeth, tongue licking even outside. Azula leaned right back, placing a finger to his mouth and moving it side to side in a wordless 'no.' Aang stood still, letting her approach him again, painfully slower this time for his liking. She pressed their lips together once more. It took every ounce of self-control for Aang to let Azula lead the kiss, but he did. She went step by step, nibling his lips, licking here and there, until finally exploring his mouth with her tongue.
The omega kept escalating from there on, removing his one shoulder robe, then the sash around his waist. Straddling him and caressing every new skin of his body that got exposed while never disconnecting their mouths. The lack of fondling back to her body did not go unnoticed by Azula, but Aang couldn't, of course. The idea of having to do everything all by herself was exhilarating, the possibilities... And there it was, some slickness came down to her under wraps. Azula's gaze turned darker. She started removing her pants first, then everything else.
The omega rubbed the slick through her folds. "Is this what you want?" This was no empathetic heat, just her being genuinely turned on.
"Don't tease me—" Aang threw his head back hitting the wall.
"All right then." In different circumstances she would have made him beg. Azula of all people understands that this is no ordinary rut, and it must be hell for him.
Without further ado, she removed his pants; leaving them by his ankles. She grabbed his member and gave it a few strokes before guiding it to her entrance. She started descending on him, another painstakingly slow movement for Aang's liking. When Azula eventually introduced it all the way to the hilt, the alpha couldn't suppress a satisfied groan.
There was a brief pause before the omega started going up and down. Slow, as if experimenting with the movements, reason being she could feel every detail of the penis that was inside her. Slick it's such an obvious symptom of heat, that the plumpness that forms around the womb area, is often overlooked. Azula was at her taut best right now, making her being able to tell the tip from the rim of the head and where exactly it was traveling up and down her vagina. It wasn't a bad sensation, if anything, it added to the experience.
The alpha growled with a hint of annoyance underneath her. Azula took the hint and started to move faster. The sounds of their bodies colliding started to echo in the room they were at. She worried about the others being able to hear them on the other side, but quickly dismissed that thought, concentrated on what she was doing. Soon her knees complained against the hard floor. Aang's moans changed to those of pleasure, and she knew he was close.
'That was fast...' It shouldn't come as a surprise, though, given Aang's current predicament.
The knot was forming, and it didn't take too long for it to lock itself in place and release the seed it was carrying. Azula felt every single jet stream of semen as it rushed up to her insides. Her eyes went wide in amazement at the new sensation. Even without heat, being knotted was its own league. When the liquid was slowing down, she looked down and noticed some bloating in her belly. If she were in heat, she'd get pregnant from this for sure.
For a while, the only sounds in the room were both their heavy panting. In time, they found each other's gazes and stayed like that for a moment.
"Now you owe me two dates." Azula broke the silence.
Aang laughed a little. "Actually, I don't mind that."
"Welcome back, you seem to be your usual self again."
"Absolutely, you can release me now."
The omega narrowed her eyes in suspicion. The knot has also started to deflate already. 'That was fast too,' she thought as she dislodged herself off of him. "Are you trying to escape?"
"But I am good now, come on!" The alpha whined.
"First of all, I can't earth—metalbend you out?" She changed her statement into a question upon looking at the restraints more closely. "Second, you're not well yet at all." And she pointed at his still hard member.
Aang could only manage a sheepish smile. Azula raised an annoyed eyebrow at him. "It seems like you won't have much of a refractory period in between waves..." She straddled him again.
He could only manage a sigh and closed his eyes, bracing himself for another round.
"One knot down, let's see how many more it takes..." And with that, she lowered herself into him once more.
"Ohmph!" Aang couldn't contain himself at the sudden submersion of his dick.
This time, Azula added some back-and-forth motion to her hips on top of her going up and down. The alpha underneath her gave up entirely on concealing the sounds that wanted to escape his mouth. It only served to encourage the omega to experiment with different movements. Soon she was switching between gyrating to undulating her hips. She found that if she angled herself right, the head of his penis would graze that spot she likes.
Aang couldn't even match her hip movements with his' own. He just leaned back and received all she was giving to him. He could sense the omega was getting off of it too. Which he didn't mind as it was the best pleasure he'd had so far. Only when he started salivating to the point of drooling is that he worried about containing his eagerness. And thank the spirits that he felt her clenching his cock, nearing her orgasm. He needed to come soon or else he was about to do something he couldn't take back.
Another much needed knot, brought thanks to Azula's orgasm. Still, it didn't sway Aang away from wanting to bite her neck. His gums hurt more than ever. He snapped his teeth hard into the air just to get the compulsion out. Could it be possible that the more they did it, the worse he got? 'I would have claimed her already if that was the case.' He reasoned with himself. With the rapid change of mind between the two opposing thoughts, he knew he was nowhere near out of this rut.
His attention went back to his omega, she was shifting a lot in their locked position. The moment the knot gave her a chance, Azula went to stand up and stretch her legs. The princess had noticed Aang biting into nothing and needed a distraction to process it. 'He almost claimed me, didn't he?' The thought made her giddy, but logic told her that such commitment should wait. She put on a random robe, not caring of whom it belonged.
She felt thirsty and deduced Aang was too. She explained she was going to go get some water. When she was about to leave the room, she paused. She had looked down and noticed that this monkey flounder of an alpha was still up. She sighed and covered him a bit. She didn't think he'd appreciate being left there at full mast, even if for a moment.
X-O-X
Once outside, as she walked to where she had noticed a fountain earlier, the others followed her with their eyes. No one in the group said a word but their faces had a question mark all over them. They wanted to know if plan b was working. Azula almost wanted to ask Sokka what plan C was going to be, just to be safe. Instead, she went right back inside without acknowledging any of them.
X-O-X
Azula hadn't realized how thankful she is Aang is tied up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to give him some water without him bending it to get out. He didn't protest much, though, maybe he was coming to his senses.
"Mhm-thank you." Said the Avatar in between gulps. He drank like he had never had water before.
She drank next from the same mug she'd found. He had barely left her any water. That's good because then she can finish it off and he won't be tempted to bend it. "I'm going to try something else."
"Azula, it's ok, let me wait it out. I think I'll be able to manage from here on."
"We don't know when that's going to be, you've already been in rut for longer than usual. Besides, I said the same when the roles were reversed and we ended up fucking anyway."
Ah yes, a night and day Aang will never forget.
"How about we do this now, and then we don't have sex at all, until like, a month or something?"
Aang chuckled, "deal."
She removed the robe she had on and knelt back down on the hard floor in front of him. Without hesitation, Azula uncovered his member once again. She found she needed both hands to be able to wrap his full length. She started stroking it, somewhat amazed at the feeling heat radiating from Aang's cock. The omega had only done this once before, but not to Aang. She does know to pay attention to the grunts for guidance. Azula movements became firmer and faster to further see what he likes and what he doesn't. Her thumb brushed his sensitive tip every other stroke.
"Oh, fuck!" Aang arched his spine off the wall.
Azula smirked, feeling smug having made the Avatar curse. She kept doing that with her thumb, having discovered it drove Aang towards the edge. The knot could be felt every time her hands made a down stroke. Aang's cock twitched under her grip before it unleashed a wild load. His cum coated her hands a bit and some fell in his stomach. Azula grabbed a robe, yet again not caring of whom it belonged, and cleaned up her hands and his stomach. She licked off some stubborn excess from in between her fingers and it gave her an idea.
Since Aang was, not surprisingly, still erect, she leaned her head down. Azula brushed her lips against the tip of his dick. The alpha was taken aback by her initiative. The taste of his lingering cum was salty and bitter on Azula's tongue. She tried to take as much of him into her mouth, but couldn't manage much more than the top half. She settled with swirling her tongue around the head. She brought one hand towards to the base where her mouth couldn't reach.
Her eyes flicked down, taking in the thick bush of hair at the base of his penis. She'd seen his cock spring out free of his pants before, but now, up close, she could notice every detail. From his pubes, to every vein and every ridge.
"Fuck yes, omega!" Aang rolled his eyes to the back of his head.
So what if he's lost for a moment? She chuckled with his dick in her mouth. The vibrations against the tip, had the knot forming again. Double points for her so, she doubled her efforts. She sucked him harder, her lips tighter around him, her tongue working the sensitive spot just below the head. She loved the power she held over him right now. She sucked him until he came again, his cum flooding her mouth and some spilling. Cock pulsing against her lips as he emptied himself. The princess licked clean whatever she could not swallow.
Finally, Aang's member looked about half erect. Azula felt some relief to know that all her efforts were finally paying off. Still, she wanted to be sure that the Avatar was over this rut once and for all. Maybe her perfectionist side of her still lived within her afterall. Not that she minded in this case. She played with his softening member to see if she could bring it back to full attention. It was taking a while, so maybe he really was getting out of it.
"Do you still need my help?"
"I wouldn't mind if you want to play with it a little bit more." Aang gave her a smug smile.
"Oh, such tragedy you find yourself in!" Azula was being playfully sarcastic.
She used her tongue too, to help his member stand. At last, with every lick, she felt Aang's penis coming back to life. Azula made eye contact while plunging his cock in her mouth. The alpha's eyes glinted with desire, mouth in a snarl that would devour her if he was free to do so. It only confirmed to her that yes, maybe he needed this one more round to finish him off on a high note.
The omega wanted to enjoy herself too. Azula separated her mouth from his dick with an unintentional pop and began to position herself on top of him. But she immediately felt the soreness on her knees against the floor. She still inserted his cock in her, but remained still, thinking of what to do.
"Azula, you feel so good." Aang whispered in the nook of her neck where her glands are. At least he called her by her name this time, so progress.
Azula hadn't noticed he had lowered his head as close as he could. She got herself as far away as she could while still connected. She didn't mean to, but she remembered the sound of his snapping teeth into the air earlier. The awkward angle made catch herself with her hands behind her and plant her feet in front. She realized she could use the extra grip to pound on her greedy alpha. As soon as she started moving, she felt her favorite spot being stimulated.
She was positioned perfectly. Aang could see all of her, all of what they were doing. Her breasts bouncing gently, and her pussy making his dick disappear. Azula noticed Aang observing her intensely, she realized the show he must be getting. The same moment a smirked formed in her mouth, it went away. She could see the shape of his cock through her flat stomach as it went in and out.
"You're so big... I think I'm-I'm going to come before you." The graphicness of it all sent Azula over the edge.
"Do it, Azula, come on my dick." Aang sounded more coherent than her.
He knew he wouldn't be able to hold back if Azula came. It took a moment, but soon Azula was clenching his member, and he just let it all out. The sounds that came out of them were obscene. Azula dropped to her elbows behind her.
"Ow! Too far back."
Azula jolted back to seated. "Sorry."
They remained like that, just catching their breaths for a while. Azula carefully shifted to be able to lean on his chest. And they remained like that for another while, with Aang resting his chin on top of her head.
"Seems like the knot is deflating at its usual rate." The omega commented carefully testing their junction point.
"I think we made it out."
"We'll see."
They remained almost still even after the knot finally deflated. There was no small talk as they were both tired. Aang could smell a hint of roses in the air. No smoke, just as if a gentle breeze carried the scent of roses through a field. It soothed his alpha instincts. He tried talking but received no response. Azula had fallen asleep. He found that he was too, close to fall asleep. So he did even if being stuck against the wall didn't do him any favors.
X-O-X-O-X
"Hey, did it work?" Toph kicked a sleeping Sokka awake.
"Mhm, I don't want to go to school."
"Hey, wake up!" The female alpha earthbended him up.
"What is your problem?!" Yelled Sokka, making the Kyoshi Warriors stir awake.
"Did. Plan B. Worked?"
"Is it the next day already?"
"Duh!" Toph placed her hands on her hips annoyed. "Well?"
"Oh no, we have to check on them!" Ty Lee chimed in; voice still sleepy.
Everyone looked from Ty Lee to Sokka.
"Why y'all looking at me?"
"It was your idea..." Said Toph crossing her arms. Posture also expectant of Sokka going in.
"Fine..." Sokka threw his arms in defeat and walked to the next room.
"Yo! Did you two had a nice fuck?" Sokka did his best to ignore the entangled naked bodies in his field of view.
Aang started to stir awake first. "Mhm... huh?"
"Is your rut over?"
"Oh, hi!" Aang exclaimed, embarrassed by finding his friend so close to him. "I-uh, I think so!" He laughed nervously.
The commotion made Azula to wake next. "Five more minutes..."
"Azula, hey..." Aang cooed. "I think we really made it out."
"Huh?" She looked around and connected what Aang was talking about. She then spotted Sokka just standing there and didn't feel the need to be self-conscious. She figured he must've been standing there for a while.
"You guys look disgusting." Said Toph as she entered the room.
"Can we have some privacy here?" Aang was blushing profusely now.
Toph laughed as she waved a hand through her eyes.
"Oh, right! Why do you feel the need to do that?!" Aang complained.
Sokka and Azula laughed next.
The Avatar was feeling a bit humiliated. "Can you please get me off these things now?"
"I don't know, is it safe to do so?" Toph still had her reserves.
"Yes, you can release him now." Azula answered while giving a smile to Aang.
"Well, if purple platypus bear says so..." The female alpha metalbent the cuffs away.
Aang immediately rubbed his sore wrists. Azula got off from on top of him to let him stand up for the first time in whatever days.
"Yeeaaah... just find us outside." Said Sokka as he dragged Toph out of the room to give the others so much needed privacy.
Aang did some overly exaggerated stretches first, and hopped on an Air Scooter right after, all while still naked. Azula laughed watching his new found freedom. He then started gathering the clothes around the room and sorting them by nation's colors. Aang went to put on his robe and noticed some white stains. He looked at Azula with squinted eyes.
"Ah yes, I-uh... I may have used some clothes for clean up." She explained while holding back more laughter.
The Avatar just sighed and was careful to put on his clothes with the stained parts underneath.
After they both got dressed, they went out to the other lounge outside to meet the others. Aang greeted the Kyoshi Warriors with an embarrassed smile.
"So, here's the rest of the plan." Sokka got everyone's attention to him.
"What? There's more?" Azula almost trembled at this not being over yet.
"In Ty Lee's letter, it mentioned that people saw the fight between Aang and Bao." Sokka continued.
The others looked at little confused, not getting the point.
"If Bao is as calculative as I am, this was intentional as well. He wanted people to see the Avatar going feral." He paused, waiting to see if the others were following.
The group nodded in understanding.
"Or worse... he wanted for Aang to grab an omega to spend his rut with. He wanted people to speculate awful, terrible things about the Avatar."
"I-I think you're reading to much into it." Said Aang.
"Maybe, but we still have to be careful. Even if we say Azula helped you out of the goodness of her heart, people are still going to find something to say."
Azula was taken aback at the realization. Sokka was right, he is always right.
"We have to make it seem like Aang passed this rut by the sheer will power of his Avatarness, guru goody two-shoes."
Seemed easy enough to pull out to everyone.
"And that means, you two can't be seen together for a while." Sokka looked at the soon-to-be lovers as he finished his statement.
Ty Lee looked at her friend with sympathy when she heard this. She saw both Aang and Azula glancing at each other saddened at their predicament.
"We-we understand..." Both said almost in unison.
A/N: Next chapter's draft exists but it's in dire need of polishing before I properly write anything coherent of it.
