Soulmates (Azula x Female Reader)

Tears

~Y/n's pov~

My eyes slowly began opening. I couldn't tell where I was- some sort of dark room?

Then I heard a noise, someone was walking towards me. Then I felt a finger against my lips...

"It's ok, it's only me. We need to whisper incase someone hears us, ok" I heard Azula's comforting voice.

"Azula! How did we get out of the nuthouse? I thought- I thought they'd got me?"

"You doubting me?" She teased.

"Of course not Princess" I said mockingly. Despite her actually being a Princess, it sort of became her nickname.

"I managed to get us as far as the nearest village and hide us down here in this basement".

"Did you- carry me like the whole way here?" I asked, for some reason I started blushing at the thought of Azula carrying me-

"Yes, so, your welcome. Now, have a drink and eat something".

"Anything for you, Princess" I smiled.

~Azula's pov~

To be honest, I was nervous. Whoever owned this house would find us down here eventually. Not that we couldn't handle them easily, but word would get out of our location, everyone would be on the lookout for us. My brother might even come after me.

We'd have to find somewhere to go. I sat in the corner of the dimly-lit room watching Y/n cutely sipping her hot tea, whilst humming to herself under her breath. She looked so innocent and cute- I had to protect her. I'd figure something out.

"Azula" I whipped my head up, but Y/n was still occupied with her tea.

"I love you, Azula. I do". I slowly turned my head around to the other corner of the room, and standing there in her ever smug form was my mother. My skin began growing red with anger.

"CAN YOU NEVER LEAVE ME? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I screamed, storming over to her.

"Don't be angry, my daughter. There is no need to be angry. I do love you, I really do". Her words bounced arround the edges of my brain, rattling my skull sending shivers throughout my body.

"YOU DARE- YOU DARE! I SWEAR, I'LL KI-"

"Azula!" I was interrupted by a cold, soothing hand clasping mine. I turned arround to see Y/n, looking up at me with her wide e/c eyes.

"Who are you shouting at?" She asked, looking genuinely scared. I turned back round but she was gone, vanished once again.

"Oh, Y/n," I sank to my knees, "I'm so sorry". She sat down next to me, her hand still in mine.

"Remember I told you about my Mom and how she used to treat me".

"Yes".

"Well, I've been seeing her for a long time. At first I didn't realise that it was just in my head, and even now I know I still forget. I haven't seen her for quite a few months, but she was in the corner, just then..." my words began trailing of as small tears trickled down my cheeks.

"What does she say to you" Y/n asked.

"She says- she keeps saying that she loves me". I couldn't hold it in any longer, I started properly crying, letting my tangled feelings flow out of me with each tear.

All of a sudden I felt a warm sensation wash over me. Y/n had wrapped her arms arround me and pulled me close to her. I had never received such physical contact growing up, letting yourself be so vunlnerable arround others was one of the greatest forms of weakness- Well that was what Father used to tell me.

But yet now there I was, melting into Y/n's touch, receiving more comfort from someone I'd know for a few months than people I'd known my whole life.

"It's ok" she softly whispered in my ear.

"It's gonna be ok".

~Y/n's pov~

I held her tightly, doing all I could to help her. Behind the perfect princess was just a 15 year old girl who was desperate for her mother's love. I couldn't help but tear up too, I wanted, I needed to help her but all I knew to do was hold her as she sobbed.

Then I heard a noise-

thump...

thump...

thump...

The owners of the house must have heard us, they were coming downstairs!

"I'm so sorry but we've gotta go, now" I said as I reluctantly let her go. We both grabbed our things and ran as fast as we could, wearing hooded cloaks to hide our identities. Thankfully, we made it out of the house before we were caught. We didn't know where we were going. All we knew was we had to keep running.

Keep running...
