Iroh's Pov:
My brother Ozai treated Azula as a thing, and she truly loved her father, so maybe that's the reason she is unable to let anyone in. "Trust issues" what the current generation calls. She closes her heart even before giving the other person a chance. While the Avatar while he do possess the power of the world in his palm, he can't realize if he is in love or not. No family and then the betrayal from the person he gave the role of mother, sister, and a lover betrayed him. So both are broken, unsure how they feel, and that is tiring cause I can't drink that much tea.
Fractured hearts weep,
Love's warmth they can not perceive,
Lost in shadows deep.
Aang POV:
No, I can't fall in love. She is Azula( the most beautiful the most amazing). Shut up. When she kissed my cheek, I felt the luckiest guy in the world. I worried so much when she fainted that I couldn't sleep. I promised to save her, and I know that was not pity (to be honest, it was pity, but not anymore). ( I go and take off my shirt to see if the scar was still on my back.) How amusing? I fell in love with someone who gave me this scar, but I don't mind it anymore.
Anyone would want a scar from her. But I don't want to be hurt by anyone. Katara left me, and of course, I was lacking, and Zuko had what she wanted, so surely I don't mind, but what if azula broke my heart or worse reject me. But I have given her my heart, so I should be brave. Braver than the time, I was about to fight the firelord cause it is her daughter who I want woo.
(Morning)
(I got a message from an attendee that Azula was waiting for me for her practice. I was excited for a tutor and a bit scared cause I was about to see her after realizing how much I have fallen)
Morning Princess, I hope you had a nice sleep. "I did. Thank you for asking and for coming this early. I hope you are ready." (She comes to a posture i have seen when we used to fight against each other. Her eyes lit up, and she starts throwing her blue fire balls at me. I, too, was not letting feelings for her in my way while practicing with her, but she beat me as it was only fire to fire, but still, a win is a win.)
"Aang, where or from whom you learned your firebending. The way you bend is it from the dragons that are worshipped by the sun warriors. If I am correct?" Yes, you are princess. How did you know because from what I remember is no one knows about them."Well, when I was little, I read this book, which was gifted to my father by someone He gifted me that, i learned it but I found it weak"
Weak? Princess, but isn't the dragon from whom firebending was derived? "Yes, that is correct, but the way the sun warriors use it is weak. To bend fire to weild it, you must absorb it in your blood. Then, as your heart pumps oxygen through the blood to your body. You must supply fire to each part of your body and then you increase it's power" (She breathe in and then extended her arm towards a mannequin and there was a little ball which increased its size as she fueled it with the power and thus the mannequin turned into ashes) Amazing. "Do you get it, Aang?" (I nod) "Now let's duel again" ( She again resumed her stance and started to fight me. I lost again but the concept of got was life changing.) "Your fire bending was much better this time" (I smiled and thanked her for her guidance and in return she softly looked at me and started to leave while grabbing her stuff.) "Let's meet tomorrow again. Goodbye now."(Again, even before hearing my plea to stay, she left. )
Azula Pov:
(While I was teaching him, I saw the scar on his back. Yes, the scar I gave him in ba sing se. How does he even look at me while I give him that scar. That water from the northern water tribe has the healing effect, so why has he not gotten it healed. I must go to the library to research the water to heal his scar. I read every single thing about it, and it is the spirit water, and it can heal and even remove scars, so why has katara not used it on my brother or Aang. Due to this I had to go and meet my brother who was in his office.)
Zuzu, what is this northern water which is being added to my diet?( I knew for a while now but I never questioned it.) "It has healing powers and I think it can heal you" (HE comes closer and give me a pat). If it can, then why have you not healed that scar of yours? "That is because for me, this scar is now my honor, which I tried to find." Honor, how? I don't get it. How can such pain be an honor? "It's an honor because if I had not gone to find avatar. I would have never found the validation from myself, which I wanted from our father. Scar reminds you of what you have been through. Some scars are visible, and some are not." (So that means aang have not healed because it reminds of him how far has he come. From a kid who was hunted to the peace maker of the world.)
Zuzu, you have a very interesting view of the world. "You too, LuLu should do what you want and acknowledge your scars cause only after acknowledging them you can get better."( I nod and start to leave his office and start to go where aang is without thinking. Only come to my senses when I see his room's door. When I am about to leave, he opens his door.)
"I knew it was you in front of my door. Are you okay?"(As soon as I see him, all my worries vanish." Yeah, i am fine. I couldn't find the attendee to send you the message that the practice would be at the same time as it was today. "Okay, can't wait. Umm, Princess, will you go out with me?"
