Distracting

Azula sat under a tree in the courtyard, watching Ty Lee stretch and flip. Documents lay unread in her lap. She made another half hearted attempt to read the paper in front her, but she heard Ty Lee grunt as she hit the ground after another flip, and her eyes snapped up to see Ty Lee rotating her foot carefully.

After a moment, she looked up at Azula. She smiled, waved and preformed another flip, and Azula let out a breath she hadn’t known she’d been holding.

Her eyes dropped to the scrolls in front of her, and she held back a sigh. There was no way she could get this work done: the day was too nice… Her eyes drifted up to where Ty Lee was propped up on her elbows, bending her legs back over her head, her toes brushing the top of her head.

Azula swallowed hard. Ty Lee rested her cheek on her palm, gaze drifting around the courtyard to land on Azula. She grinned. Azula wasn’t sure how she managed it, but Ty Lee pushed herself up and walked over to Azula on her hands, stopping with her hands on either side of Azula’s legs.

“How’s the work going?”

Azula smirked, setting the papers aside. “It’s not going well. It’s too distracting out here.” She leaned back against the tree, letting her eyes roam Ty Lee’s body. Ty Lee grinned. Azula slipped her hand behind Ty Lee’s head and kissed her soundly. She ran her tongue along Ty Lee’s lower lip. Ty Lee moaned, slowly bringing her feet back down to the ground.

Azula drew back. “Perhaps we should go inside?”

“Yeah…or we could do it right here.”

The look Ty Lee gave her wiped Azula’s mind clean of thought, and for a moment she almost took Ty Lee up on her suggestion before her brain caught up with her.

“We can’t. Don’t you remember what happened last time we did that?”

Ty Lee’s face fell. “Oh…yeah. I guess we should go inside.”

Azula smiled, kissed her and stood, pulling Ty Lee up with her and allowed Ty Lee to lead her inside.

The documents lay forgotten in the grass.
