she pulled down the stars

To be honest, Yue probably wouldn’t be able to confidently say that she was asexual without Mai’s guidance.Mai came off as distant and quiet at first, and Sokka had warned her ahead of time, but Yue came from a pretty strict family herself so she knew the act and she knew how to break the act (and as it turns out, Mai’s parents are even stricter than hers). Sure enough, after a couple of conversations, Mai began to open up and really share her experience with her.It was incredibly validating to find someone like her, someone who had similar experiences and made her feel like she wasn’t broken. She finally felt seen.Turns out, sharing a sexuality crisis helped them understand each other on a level Yue had never expected from the closed-off girl, and they managed to become close friends, much to everyone’s surprise. It was an unlikely friendship, but one that Yue held close to her heart.[or, a quick oneshot about yue and mai bonding over being asexual written for ace week <3]
