AN: Tyzula Week 2015. I'm doing one of those strict word count pairing drabble deals for the wonderful prompts.

Fire Nation Short Short Story

001. Handwriting

Ty Lee likes the way Azula holds her ink brush. Azula likes the way Ty Lee does, but she completely and utterly refuses to voice that. Ty Lee begins to imitate the perfect curve of her fingers that allows the pretty black letters to be so perfectly formed, while Azula begins to hold her brush wrong.

Ty Lee winds up with sore fingers and sloppy papers. Azula winds up with a broken hand for defiance against her father.

Azula does not speak or make a sound.

Ty Lee does not need her to, as she gently eases the pain with nimble but sore fingers on pressure points.

They both blush, and neither of them hold their pen quite the same way again.
