Iroh POV:
Umm the first time my niece went against her father. I got to know that later on. Well the first time she went against was when Zuko challenged his father to Agni kai. My brother didn't just target the face but it was Azula who tricked her father and he only got to burn his face. Then quickly she called all the healers that my brother wasn't given another chance. It was this way Zuko was saved. Azula was truly lucky and she was lucky for Zuko. She was punished after that and basically brainwashed so she could never take her brother's side ever again . Let me go order some more tea.
Azula POV:
What are you staring at? "Well when it came to love I always cursed my destiny but now I can help but be so in love with (he extended his hand and outlined my lips) my destiny", he said. Before you get turned on again I have something to tell you. "I am already am excited but yeah I am your slave (he grabs my feet). Go on.", he says. Last night before we did it (made love he corrected me and I rolled my eyes) made love I went to meet my father in jail (What, he says.) so he knows about us and weirdly he invited me to join him to rule the world. "Oh boy before i say anything want a hug?", he says. (I nod. He takes me in arm and kisses my cheek. "What do you want to do now?",he says while holding me gently.
I sometimes wish to run away like far away but I will face my mistakes and the burden is mine. "No my love it's our burden. If you want to run away I will be your partner and if you want to face your issues I will be your strength. If you want to someone to just listen to your problems I will be your diary",he says while patting my head. Is this like a proposal and no ring aren't you the avatar? (I jokingly says)
"Well I do have a ring (he with his one hand tried to grab a box from his drawer) umm I wanted to ask or get permission from your brother and the council but you asked and I don't lie so...", he says very clearly. Wait you have to get permission and you have follow protocols before I reply as per customs. (He smiles) Why are you smiling? "Well knew you would say that so open the box? (As I opened I realised the ring had a thread like a gold chain) it's a ring necklace. I got to know that there was this old tradition that men in fire nation gave their lovers a necklace with a ring. I got a ruby as a gem that's why.", he very cutely and calmly explains. Well how did you know about this tradition. Who told you? "I asked Avatar Ruko",he says. (I understood that he was worried and he had to tell Avatar Ruko just to get this.)
Put it on me? (He smiles) "My pleasure princess. Well there is another thing I wanted to ask you. So remember when I left the room earlier I heard the bird calling me and it was basically a letter from the temple saying that they found a kid who can master air bending", he says. Wow really congratulations. (I hug him and he hugs me even tighter. While in his embrace I realised that it meant he was about to leave and suddenly I break from that hug and look at him. He realises that I realised what it means and he just presses his lip together and forces a smile.)
(We both keep on staring in each other's eyes without saying a thing because it might hurt us. I don't want him to leave but I knew loving him would make me to make sacrifices and I love so I will make them.) When are you leaving? (He looks at me and embrace me and lay down on the bed with me in his arms.) "Not Now. (And before I could say anything) Let's sleep and let's talk tomorrow but before that I wanted to say I love you", he says while controlling his tears. I love you too. (He looks at me with his mouth open) "That's..(voice breaking) the first time... you have said that. That you... love me", he starts crying.
To be continued.
