Thunderstorm

Azula loved thunderstorms. They reminded her of herself- powerful, awe-inspiring and very often fear-inducing (she, of course, had never been afraid of them herself). When she was younger- much, much younger- she would lie in bed and look at the lightning out the window, pretending that she was the one generating and controlling it. She'd tell herself that someday, she would be powerful enough to do it for real- and that she'd be better than everyone. Even her father; even her uncle. Everyone.

Now, as a fifteen-year-old accomplished lightningbender, she pulled the curtains wide open before going to bed, so she could see the sky clearly. She mentally traced the bolts of lightning as they appeared in the sky, and eagerly anticipated each gigantic boom of thunder (the storm was centered right above the capital city, just the way she liked it).

Azula inwardly scoffed at everyone who accused her of being boring, or not knowing how to have fun. This was fun.

Azula loosely draped an arm around Ty Lee, her gaze still focused out the window.

Ty Lee closed her eyes again, laying her head against Azula's shoulder.

She moved a hand back up to Ty Lee's head, anchoring it there. "... Hm. Good night, I suppose."

"'Night, 'Zula." She paused, before lightly kissing Azula's neck.

Azula curled her fingers around the end of Ty Lee's braid- not pulling it, just holding on to it.

"Mm, glad you saved it," Ty Lee murmured softly.

"Saved what? The thing on the tape recorder?"

Azula hooked her chin over Ty Lee's head. "... Well. I'm glad I did, too."

"Mm." She yawned. "I love you."

Azula considered. "... I know."

Ty Lee yawned again. "Good."

A few minutes passed before Azula said anything more.

"... I do, too."
