Under The Influence (Slowed) - Chris Brown

Azula and Ty Lee remained cuddled up together in the futon bed, nestled inside their tiny tent.

The sound of the crackling fire outside mixed with the rustling of leaves in the wind, creating a peaceful melody that lulled them into a state of pure bliss.

The soft glow of candlelight danced around the small space. Despite the chill outside, the heat of their bodies had kept them warm during the night.

''So... first part of the plan worked out. Now where will we go?'' Ty Lee asked softly as she propped herself on top of the Princess and traced her collarbones with her fingers.

Azula took a couple seconds to reply as she looked at the brunette in front of her.

''Anywhere. I don't care were I go as long as you're with me.'' Azula said, caressing Ty Lee's cheek.

Ty Lee nuzzled her head on Azula's chest, feeling the steady beat of her lover's heart. Azula's arms were wrapped securely around Ty Lee, holding her close.

They both remained like that for a couple of seconds before the brunette broke the silence again.

''Azula... you know, I never told anyone this but, I don't want to keep any secrets between us.'' She said.

''What is it?'' Azula asked with intrigue, looking back at her.

''My father is actually... from Airbender descent.'' Ty Lee said.

''Really?'' Azula said surprised before quickly switching her expression to a smirk.

''Mhm... No wonder you can jump around everywhere like a little monkey.'' She replied teasing her.

Ty Lee giggled and lightly pushed Azula. ''You're so mean.''

The Princess chuckled.

''How come you never said anything to Mai or me?''

''What besides the fact that you were the Princess to the Nation that declared war on everyone who wasn't a citizen of the Fire Nation?'' The Brunette asked sarcastically.

''Right, besides that.'' Azula replied following along.

''Well, my father told us since we were very small that no one could know about it since it could jeopardise his career and our status in the capital... Daddy worked very hard to make a name for himself in the Nation since my grandmother brought him.''

''Your Dad was right to keep it a secret.'' Azula said propping herself resting her head on her hand.

''With my grandfather's government, he could have been in deep trouble if someone found out, especially with your dad's self-earned rank as a nobleman...''

Ty Lee nodded. ''Exactly.''

''How come your grandmother left the Air Nomads and migrated to the Fire Nation?'' Azula asked, wanting to know more about the brunette's ancestry.

''Well, the children used to be separated from their mothers after they reached a certain age, and they were also separated by sex. The boys used to be raised on the southern and northern temples, while the girls were raised on the eastern and western temples...'' Ty Lee began as Azula listened with intrigue.

''Daddy told us that my grandma was too attached to him. She wasn't able to follow through with the Airbender's philosophy of detachment. So when the time came, she wasn't able to send him away, and so she decided to migrate to the Fire Nation and raise him herself.''
