Chapter 10: Alternatives

The next morning, Aida woke up as sunlight entered the room. She immediately noticed how her head used Zuko's bare chest as a pillow, making her smile. It's been a while since she's felt comfortable with someone like this. Looking up, she noticed that he was still asleep, only stirring as soon as the sunlight hit his face.

With a cringe, Zuko opened his eyes, immediately shutting them again as a migraine hit him.

"You okay, princey?" Aida asked with a chuckle.

"Remind me to never down anything alcoholic like that again," Zuko mumbled, keeping his eyes closed.

Aida laughed, trying to keep it controlled as the noise might do his hangover worse. She knew the young man wasn't used to living the way she did. She sat up, thinking of a way to make him feel better.

"How about some seaweed soup? That always helped me when I get a hangover," Aida suggested before she started massaging Zuko's forehead in an attempt to alleviate him of some of the pain.

"Just keep doing that. It feels nice," Zuko simply replied as he relaxed to the girl's touch, making Aida laugh again.

"The others will be looking for us," Aida chastised before moving to straddle the prince. "We should probably go."

"Are you sure you want to do that? Judging by how you're looking right now, I'd say you're pretty comfortable on top of me," Zuko teased as his hands rested on her waist.

"Yes," Aida chirped out before leaning down and giving the prince a peck.

But just as Aida was about to get off him, he pulled her back for a lustful kiss, his tongue licking her lips, turning the whole kiss into a make out session.

"Hey Zuko! Have you-" a boy's voice suddenly said but was cut off as soon as he saw the scene in front of him.

Cursing, Aida immediately got off Zuko and pulled the covers on her, seeing Aang who turned red at witnessing his sister half naked on top of his fire bending teacher.

"S-Sorry," Aang simply said before closing the door.

Aida and Zuko exchanged looks, blushing from embarrassment, before both teens got up and dressed up.

"I can't believe you were making out with Zuko this morning. I guess that solves the case of your abandoned guitar thingy and bottle of rice wine. Just how far have you gone, huh?" Naruto rambled as the team watched Aang and Zuko train. "You do know that he would need both Aang and my approval, right? As your brothers, he has to go through us."

Sokka and Suki, whose seat a little behind them on the stairs, tried not to laugh at the scene before them, especially after everyone found out about Aida and Zuko's rendezvous from the night before.

"Relax, Naru-chan. We didn't have sex yet," Aida drawled as she took a sip of the seaweed soup she made earlier.

"What do you mean by yet? You're planning to-"

Before Naruto could continue his sentence, Sasuke hit the blond boy at the back of his head.

"No need to scream about Ai's sex life to the whole world," Sasuke said with a cringe, not really wanting to imagine his best friend's sex life.

"But teme!" Naruto whined, stretching out the vowels of his words.

"Sasuke-kun is right, Naruto-kun. Just let Aida-chan be. She can take care of herself," Sakura supported.
