Red Eyes // Avatar The Last Airbender//

The dance of fools

"Do you have to make this harder?" Aang groaned once he saw Annabelle leave the room.

"what exactly are you talking about?" Enya chuckled an amused grin on her face earning her glares from the young avatar who sat in front of her desperately trying to keep his eyes off of her as Annabelle returned to the tense table. 

"How was the powder room Annabelle?" Enya flashed an innocent smile "I think you may have missed a spot over......everywhere"  Bret chuckled next to her as Annabelle flashed them both a deadly glare. 

The small band had started playing that beautiful music that Enya had come to think of as the only thing she had liked about 'royalty.' She stood up and looped arms again with Bret as they moved to the center of the room her golden dress flowing behind her with each step. 

Annabelle too had stood up expecting to be guided by her drooling date. But Aang just sat there watching Enya walk away with Bret. He was filled with a sort of jealousy that enraged him inside. She shouldn't be with that obnoxious boy she should be with him he thought to himself as Annabelle cleared her throat snapping him out of his 'trance.'Aang stood up quickly and looped arms with Annabelle his eyes never leaving Enyas perfection.

Enya put one of arms around Brets neck, the other one holding onto Brets hand. Bret had his other arm gently wrapped around her waist. They swayed with the soft music that continued to play.

"I think your plan is working, En, he can't take his eyes off you" Bret grinned as they danced.

"Good. And Annabelle looks furious....watch closely soon steam will be coming out of her ears" Enya and Bret laughed as they continued to watch Aang and Annabelle become enraged.

Aang swayed along to the music with his furious date who was desperately trying to get his attention. 

"Aangy?....What are you staring at!" Annabelle shouted softly trying to avoid a scene. She looked in the direction that Aangs eyes had been fixed on the entire night. Annabelle rolled her eyes as she saw Enya and Bret dancing and laughing together. "She's not even pretty!" Aang turned to Annabelle as she said those awful words. His usual soft playful features were stern and cold. 

"Enya is the most beautiful girl in the world, you're just jealous because you'll never be as pretty as her." He said his voice almost a growl. 

Annabelle looked at Aang with a sudden realization. She smirked as she looked back and forth from Aang and Enya. Suddenly she wasn't worried about being with the avatar. Now all she wanted was to make sure that this was one party no one would ever forget. Annabelle looped arms with Aang again and walked over to where Bret and Enya were. Annabelle cleared her throat and smiled at Enya.

"Enya I want to dance with my dear friend Bret. Do you think you could keep Aangy company while we do?" 

Enya rolled her eyes and let go of Bret before responding to Annabelle. 

"Of course. I wouldn't want to Aangy to be bored" 

Annabelle grabbed Brets hand and pulled him away from the two of them while Aang took Brets place. Enya danced along with Aang like she had wanted to do the whole night. She wanted to pull him closer to her and kiss him but that was against the whole 'secret relationship'. 

"Everyones staring at us." Aang muttered. 

Enya looked around to see that the party guests had cleared the dance floor leaving Aang and Enya front and center. Part of Enya enjoyed the attention and didn't want the dance to stop but another part of her was worried that people would catch on. 

"Well you are the avatar. You seem to attract a lot of attention" Enya laughed softly looking into Aangs soft eyes. 

 Aang laughed with her as they continued to dance to the soft music. He loved looking at her, even when she was angry at him. There was something about her that made him want to take her in his arms and hold her there forever. Its like she had cast a spell on him and she didn't even know it. 

"Enya." Aang said softly. His voice was shaky with nerves. He wanted to tell her everything she did to him. He wanted her to know how he felt and that Annabelle was nothing to him. But everytime he tried to say something it came out weak and shaky. 

"You okay avatar? You seem a little nervous."

"I'm fine. Its just-...You-...I-..." He looked at her and it was as if no one else was there. It was just the two of them. No fire nation nobles or angry brothers, just them.  In that moment Aang pulled Enya close to him and kissed her. 

Scattered gasps echoed in the dance hall as everyone looked at the display with open jaws. Aang snapped back into reality and pushed away from her scanning the crowd. 

Zuko stepped out from the crowd an angry look in his golden eyes. He looked at Enya and then at Aang his fists clenched. He walked over to Aang trying to look calm and grabbed his arm pulling him into the other room. And with that the dance was over.
