#Ayushi's thoughts

[intellectual6666]

I don't deserve love. I don't deserve empathy or sympathy from people. I don't deserve the care and kindness everyone shows me. I deserve the worst, the bad, the ugly kind of thing. Because I am totally made by the monsters and concrete and love didn't exist there.

New collaboration with Loft & Amnibus was announced for Digimon Adventure!

Details about exact merch will follow soon, but the tweet states that the concept was decided by keeping the idea of 25th Anniversary in focus but the art itself is flower + wedding outfit themed. The collab will start in June which is considered a good month for brides in Japan and so we see many wedding themed anime illustrations get released during this time every year.

Now it is time for another certified Ayushi breakdown 🫡

Taichi and Agumon are seen holding Edelweiss, with a pattern of the flower drawn beautifully on Taichi's shirt as well. Edelweiss in Japanese Language of Flowers (Hanakotoba) is meant to symbolise 'cherished memories/大切な思い出' and 'courage/勇気', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'noble courage' and 'daring' - both of which are apt for our best leader 🧡

Yamato and Gabumon are seen holding Alstroemeria (Lily of the Incas, Peruvian Lily), and while the flower motif is not drawn onto his clothes, Yamato's coat's breast pocket is decorated with the flower as well. In Hanakotoba, Alstroemeria is meant to symbolise 'persistence/持続' or 'longing for the future/未来���の憧れ', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'friendship' and 'devotion'. All meanings are apt for him imo, but especially persistence and longing for the future are very representative of his arc from the first series till Kizuna.

Sora and Piyomon are seen with Pink Carnations, with the neckline of Sora's jumpsuit lined with a bunch of the flowers. I personally love the visual of Sora in this pink jumpsuit, it plays into her slightly tomboyish yet extremely gentle personality so well! In Hanakotoba carnations symbolise 'innocent and deep love/無垢で深い愛' and pink carnations specifically symbolise 'love of a woman/女性の' 'passionate love/熱愛' and "beautiful gesture/美しいしぐさ'. In Western Language of Flowers carnations symbolise 'fascination' and love'. All meanings are pretty accurate for Sora, but red carnations are used to symbolise Mother's love in Japan so it would've been nice if they threw in a mix of red and pink to hint at her relationship with her mother!

Koushiro and Tentomon are seen holding Violet Sage, which at first glance I thought was Lavender. The flower pattern is also visible on his waistcoat and bowtie, which ties together his outfit very nicely! In Hanakotoba, Sage seems to have many symbolisations, 'respect/尊敬', 'wisdom/知恵', 'good home/良い家庭', and 'family love/家族愛'. But Blue (Violet) Sage specifically signify respect and wisdom. In Western Language of Flowers, Sage symbolises 'esteem', 'wisdom' and 'domestic virtue'. Again, a perfect choice for Koushiro, I personally would prefer to believe that they picked this not because of his crest but because of 'good home' and 'family love' since that part of Koushiro's arc in the first series was probably the most impressionable aspect of his character.

Mimi and Palmon are seen holding baby's breath, with Mimi's dress covered in a pattern of it. Even keeping my bias towards Mimi aside, this is possibly one of the prettiest outfit of hers till date, it genuinely looks like she's about to walk down the aisle as a flower girl for a very happy couple! In Hanakotoba, Baby's Breath or Kasumisou, symbolises 'pure heart/清らかな心', 'innocence/無邪気', 'kindness/親切', and 'happiness/幸福'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'everlasting love', 'purity of heart', and 'innocence'. All meanings apply to Mimi to the T, but they're also very apt for the whole wedding theme of the merch which makes this particular outfit + flower choice my favourite from the lot.

Jou and Gomamon are seen holding Violets or Sumire. I honestly struggled to figure out the flower for a while, at first glance I thought it was Periwinkle but since that was not mentioned in the Hanakotoba reference anywhere, I searched other people's interpretations and settled with Violets. His tie also has a cute pattern of the flower, and it makes me wonder if Koushiro and Jou went shopping for their outfits together! In Hanakotoba, Sumire symbolise 'modesty/謙虚', 'sincerity/誠実', and 'small happiness/小さな幸せ'. Depending on the colour, the symbolism can change in Hanakotoba, and purple Violets specifically represent 'fidelity' along with 'love'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'modesty' and 'faithfulness'. This is as Jou as a flower can get lol.

Takeru and Patamon are seen with White Gerberas. Like Yamato, Takeru's outfit doesn't have a pattern of the flower, but the Gerberas themselves are pinned to his suspenders. In Hanakotoba, Gerbera symbolises 'hope/希望' and 'always moving forward/常に前進'. White Gerbera specifically are used to symbolise 'hope' and 'honesty/律儀'. In Western Language of Flowers it is meant to symbolise 'cheerfulness' and 'beauty'. All meanings are accurate for Takeru, no comment needed!

Hikari and Tailmon are seen with Sunflowers. I personally feel that Hikari's outfit is a little too much compared to the rest, just the sunflower belt would've been enough but they added that extra line at the hem and it's kind of an overdose. In Hanakotoba, Sunflowers symbolise 'I gaze only at you/私はあなただけを見つめる', 'adoration/愛慕', and 'worship/崇拝'. In Western Language of Flowers, it symbolises 'adoration' and 'false riches'. I understand that they wanted to go with a bright or perky flower for Hikari but something like a Pink Aster which symbolises patience or Cosmos which symbolises harmony, peace etc. might suit Hikari better given the overall theme of the illustration. The only miss in the otherwise perfectly depicted theme and art!

The Dragon's Keep (part 6)

*Finished*

Fire Lord Zuko x (Fem!) Reader

Part 1. Masterlist

You are a firebender named Ayushi, who has been accepted to guard over the royal family. You end up guarding Zuko through his travels to visit the sun warriors. The mission, protecting the newest dragons, begins.

Warning: this is 18+ AF. Be aware. It gets descriptive. It starts at the cut so there you go. Just want to mention the dragon is Canon if you haven't seen Korra. It felt OP but it's Canon so whatever.

Your bare skin etched in Zuko's thoughts. He did look away but dared to glance. You were turned towards him unlike every other time before. "Zuko, which one should I wear?" You asked, holding up the outfits. One was the commoner outfit, and the other was a firenation elite design. He looked up, seeing your top still gone. Your body was only shielded by the clothes you were holding out.

"That one." He pointed to the firenation design he pulled his bottom lip in thinking of anything but you wearing the clothes you held. He stood up and walked to his bag. Grabbing his armor that was packed away. "Can you fasten this?" He had his armor pulled over his shoulders. You held your shirt in your arm. It hadn't made its way covering you yet.

You stepped closer to Zuko. He turned his strong bicep to you so you could fasten the shoulder guard. You press your hand on his bare chest, guiding him to the other side to fasten the other arm. Your fingers trailed his chiseled chest. Your eyes lifted to his. His fingertips slipped down to your waist. His hands were warm against your skin. The wall pressed against your back that you hadn't realized he had guided you to. His innocent nature that was wholesome and pure was tossed away. The man with power and strength stood in front of you. You were weak, defenseless against all the power he held.

He leaned closer, glancing from your lips to your eyes, fire burned within them. The torches lighting the room burned brighter, hotter than they did just a few moments before. His hips were pressed against yours.  Your legs ached, begging for this new man in front of you. Your hand fell to his shoulder.

The room became an inferno. The flames between you had become uncontrollable. Your lips met his suddenly. His hands lifted your legs, pulling you from the ground. His lips melted against yours. You knew there was no redemption from this indulgence in pleasure. You held yourself against him. Your chest enmeshed with his. No fabric to stop the senses. His scar was rough against your skin. It was a reminder of who you were with, the man with the most power in the nation.

He pulled his lips from yours and kissed down your jaw. You both played with fire as his name glided softly from your lips. His lips returned to yours, then pulled away. His tongue slowly pulled at your neck to your ear. "Say it again." He whispered, then bit down softly on your neck. You gasped is complete shocking bliss. "Zuko." You said a little louder than before. His hand traveled up your leg, holding your hip. Your body was pressed so close to his you could feel him craving you. You kissed his neck, wanting nothing more than to finish by the man that was built like a God.

A knock sounded at the door again. "Lord Zuko, we have docked." He pushed his lips to yours one last time. "Are you ready to see the dragons?" He spoke hesitantly. The entire reason and passion for the trip suddenly took a back seat in your mind. "Yeah." You said softly. Your mind weighted on questions, for starters, what that was and what it meant for you?

You both broke apart, and your body felt cold without him. You got dressed, hoping it would bring warmth back.

You both were dressed. He held out his hand. "You can leave your stuff here. The ship is staying here for our return." You grabbed his hand and walked down the hall, and up the stairs, the deck was bright. You looked around once your eyes adjusted and saw the air temple.

You walked down the ramp, meeting the sand. Zuko turned back to the general. "Stay here until we get back. We will be back tonight."

"Yes, Lord Zuko." The general bowed.

You both began your walk through the jungle. You walked through as zuko sliced at vines, creating a path. You followed close behind. The sun was in the middle of the sky. "When we get there, you have to watch for traps, so don't go off without me."

"I didn't plan on it..." You paused. "Zuko, what Hua told me was true... wasn't it?"

He slashed a few more vines. Despite the scene that they just participated in, he still wasn't prepared for the rejection that he always seemed to face. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you just... we just..." You struggled to speak of the heavy actions that had just unfolded within the last hour.

"I never told her anything, so I don't know how she would have known." He cut the last vine. He stepped aside and held a tree limb for you to go ahead. You stepped through the path. You saw a clearing full of old ruins. The site was incredible. You stared at the walls and old buildings. It looked so familiar and yet so foreign. In the distance, there was a set of tall towers. Zuko stood beside you and wrapped an arm around your waist. Your gaze lifted to his eyes. He looked over the site and then down to you. He leaned down, lifting your chin. His lips met yours in a much softer kiss then before. He lifted his head, looking back over the land.

"She was right. I don't know how she knew, but she did." He spoke, walking down a path.

You kept walking and felt a wire. you pulled Zuko back. "Wire." You said pointing to the extended wire. You both stepped over and continued on the path. You both got to an opening in the path. A group was ahead. You both passed by a wall that was painted. "Dragons?" You spoke breathlessly. the paintings had taken your breath away.

"That's what you'll be doing." Zuko pointed to the firebender in the middle of the blaze.

"I'm finally going to meet them."

Zuko nodded. "Let's go. You have to meet an old friend first."

You walked towards the group. "Lord Zuko, it is nice to see you again. I see you are breaking your promise with a guest."

Zuko nodded. "This is Ayushi. She is a Kyoshi warrior, She is a firebender who keeps the closest watch over my family. I think it would be best if she learns from the masters to better defend me and my family. She has proven herself worthy in my palace."

The chief nodded. "Then I hope that the masters see her worthy as well. Follow me." He instructed.

He stood in front of a fire. "This is the eternal Flame. It was a gift from the masters long ago. You will take these flames up to the top, and you will present them to the masters. That's when they will judge you."

You held out your hands. Zuko held out his. He placed the flame in both sets of palms. "Burn it too small it will die out, burn it too big, you will lose control. Follow the path." He pointed to the path, and you began balancing the flame within your hand.

The chief went around the opposite path. The sun warriors gathered around. When you both arrived, you saw all the warriors gather around. You held your flame and stood in front of the stairs. The drums bellowed in the surrounding air. You both walked up the stairs, meeting each other's backs at the top. "Remember we do the firebending form when they come out."

Your eyes were glazed over. The emotions swirled around fear of being deemed not worthy, the honor of being in the presence of such amazing creatures that you dreamed about.

The loud horn sounded, calling the masters you gasped as the dragons began circling around the pillar. Your eyes followed them as best you could.

"Ready?" Zuko asked you both, held your flames, and took the first stance. The flames stay controlled. You both did each stance the sacred flames grew but under control. The dragons followed each movement with ease. You both took the final stance, and the flame vanished and then appeared back in your hand. The dragons connected to the pillar eyeing you both from the side. You fell to your knees and held the flame to the dragon. Zuko followed your led and fell to his knee behind you, bowing to the creatures.

The dragons blew a blaze around. The spiral was adorned with a rainbow of color.

You lifted your eyes, and each color spoke wisdom to you flashes of meaning in each color. The flames spiraled up, disappearing. A flash of red flew overhead. A small dragon landed at the base of the pillar, landing in front of the stairs. You stood up, and Zuko grabbed your hand, walking you down the steps. You looked up at Zuko quizzically. He had the same look. You both reached the bottom, staring into the eyes of a creature that was smaller than the two that completed the ceremony. The creature was still large. You both bowed to the dragon. The dragon bowed back.

He leaned his head down. Zuko reached out and placed his hand gently. the dragon accepted him. You reached your hand out, and the dragon accepted your touch. Your lips curled into a smile. The chief spoke up. "Zuko, this is Druk. It is your responsibility now to care for him. Ran and Shaw have chosen you to look after him. Druk is now bonded with you." Zuko nodded, accepting the responsibility. "Druk seems to like Ayushi. She's not just your guard, is she." The chief asked. Zuko looked back and saw Druk wrapping his neck over your shoulder in a dragon's form of hug.

"She's more than that." Zuko smiled fondly as the dragon bonded with you.

"You are free to leave with him. Keep him safe." The chief warned.

The dragon laid down. You looked at Zuko, unsure of what to do. Zuko climbed onto the dragon. He held his hand out, and you mounted the dragon holding tight to Zuko. The dragon stood tall and flapped its wings, taking off into the sky. You had never been so high up. Your eyes widened, seeing the trees become so small. You both saw the ship, and Zuko guided him to the ships deck. You both landed, and the soldiers were stunned by such a magnificent creature.

"General. Take us home. Protect Druk at all cost. Shoot on site, and if anyone brings harm to this dragon. I will mount your head in my palace along with the dragons my father murdered." Zuko spat at the soldiers. They bowed the Zuko. "Yes, Lord Zuko." The sun was disappearing under horizon. Zuko slid off the dragon. You slid down.  Zuko caught you in his arms. He put you down to the ground gently. You rubbed the dragon one last time. Druk laid down on the deck,  curling up. Zuko patted the dragon and grabbed your hand. He led you down the stairs. "We will be back at the palace by morning."

"I just met dragons. Zuko, there is a dragon on this ship." Your mind boggled about the idea.

"Yeah, there is." He smiled proudly.

He wrapped his hands on your waist. He gripped tightly, pulling you into him and kissing you. The fire seemed to burn bright again. You pulled away breathless. "You are amazing. Thank you for making my dreams come true."

Zuko smiled, kissing your cheek. "I would have done it a long time ago had I known it was your dream."

You kissed him gently. "We need to rest before we get home. We've got explaining to do. Would you like a bedtime story?" You giggled out at the thought that everything happened because of stories you both had heard as children.

"I can think of a few things I want that don't involve stories." His low voice taunted. He gripped at your waist, pulling you in again.

Your hands tangled in his hair. His lips glided along yours. His tongue teasing yours. You both were equally craving. Your hands slowly lifted his clothes away. Your hand pressed against his chest. He trailed to your neck.

"I'm yours." You whispered softly. His hands ripped fabric that stood in his way. Your skin warmed by his touch. It felt as warm as it did during the morning. His touch was passionate, and the warmth sank into you, traveling down your body. You wanted his everything. You tossed the scraps of silk that was once a top to the floor. His eyes connected with yours, his pupils dilating at the sight of how perfect you looked. You were in complete submission. He didn't always love the power he held, but this power was his favorite. He had complete control of your body of your pleasure how much and how little you were allowed.

Zuko lifted you from the ground, tossing you on the bed with ease. Your pants slid away from your body, exposing how wet you had become from his teasing. He took his time traveling his large hands down your curves. His lips melted into your collarbone. Your back arched as he left kisses down your breasts. Licking and sucking every sensitive area. "Zuko," you gasped.

All of his clothes were tossed to the floor. He laid down beside you, guiding your body on top of his. His arousal was tempting you. There was nothing between you. Your hips rocked back and forth, teasing him. You leaned down, kissing him gently.

Zuko ran his hand through your hair softly, pulling you toward him. He pulled away. "You know what I want. Give it to me."

"Yes, Lord Zuko." You hummed against his lips. You guided him into you. You tightened at the sudden sensation. Your teeth clinched at how big he was. He filled you in the best way. You rolled your hips. He pushed you to sit up. He held the back of his neck, propping himself up in the best position to watch you. His other hand held your thigh, and he squeezed when you hit all the right places.

You lifted up and down, riding him. He bit his lip as you sped up. His biceps were flexing, showing his strong build. Your hand gripped the headboard for stability. Your other hand pressed against his chiseled abs. Your hand slid over the rough scar.

He pulled you back down, crashing his lips to yours. Zuko kissed down your jaw. "You look so good. You're such a good girl pleasing me." He pushed you down to your back. He kissed down your body his tongue pressed against your clit. Your body felt pure bliss pulse through your veins. He teased you flicking his tongue slowly. "Please." You spoke so softly, begging for more. He sped up bringing you closer to the edge. Your gasps and moans echoed off the metal walls. Your back arched from the sensitivity.

He pulled away and lifted back up kissing you. His lips were sweet and so hypnotic. He slid himself back into you. He pressed into you. Your hand cupped his cheeks you felt the scar on his cheek it was smooth having been there much longer the the newer one on his chest. His jawline was sharp in your palm. His lips glided into yours as he thrusted into you. He lifted himself back up and thrusted harder and faster. He groaned feeling how tight you were. Your hand fell down rubbing your clit as he was furfilling his pleasure.

Your moans became louder. He knew you were close. He kept the pace it was bringing him closer as you squeezed tighter. You slowly came undone under him. "Zuko!" You screamed as the satisfaction coarsed through your body. Euphoria settled in your body swirling around. His peak followed, and his euphoria swirled into yours. You both rode out the sensation. He pulled out cum dripping out of you. He laid down next to you. You both tried catching your breath. He wrapped his arm around you pulling you in kissing you softly. You pulled the covers over you and you both entangled together comfortably falling asleep happily. Everything was perfect.

The prince and dragon you had dreamed of turned out to be real.

Hello

Let me tell you one thing before saying the main thing. I finally gathered some guts after 5 months and thought of writing this to you. Actually, I am scared of you 🥹 (yeh Simran didi ko Pata hai). I am one of Simran didi's devotees here.

I really like your blog and the way you write. And yk you were the first person I followed here. You were the first desi who came on my feed. What I love about you is your and Simran didi's relationship. I literally simp over you guys 🥹 (*putting kala tika* kisi ki nazar na lage). You guys look so cute together (never saw u guys irl but I am pretty sure u do). Whenever I feel sad, I scroll down your blog and see you two lovebirds and trust me, nothing makes me happier than that. So that's what all I had to say, stay happy and take care of yourself (and Simran didi ofc) and live your life the way you want <3

Ayushi, I know you simmu's favorite right? I remember you wrote about her in your diary though idk if she told you this or not but she posted it on her ig story and kept talking about it in my dm that day and she also told me lot of things about you how you guys started talking and everything. anyways she was really happy so thank you very much for making my girl smile honestly I'm grateful to you.

Am I scary? I think I'm quite friendly? No? That aside her mutuals are my mutuals so feel free to interact with me

At the end, thank you very much for your kind words, Glad to know that you like our pair. Being one of your mutuals makes me happy and take care of her here on my behalf as I'm not active here. You can dm me anytime if you need any kind of help. Take care.🌻

[reicchel]

Finally printed my thesis, and while i was so salty all the time during my medical residency and thought about not including thank-you words, in the end i caved in and wrote a cheesy paragraph.

Second to last line says "to those who were with me in moments of joy and hardship alike". Tumblr has always been to me that kind of place where i can forget about real life for a little while, but i also come whining and get metaphoric pats on my back that help me keep going.

Last two lines are from kny because I couldn't not include some kny reference, since it is very dear to me and has brought me so much happiness not only reading and watching but also drawing so much. Special thanks to Buriko-san who helped me out with the quote in Japanese, and who just keeps feeding my obsession with great art and analysis.

I consider you all here my friends, sometimes i open up to you more than i do with people i know in real life; you're the real deal. I don't want to tag spam you but here we go...

Salmon, Ricky, Liesel, Misi, Ava, Kitty, Pyro, Eesha, Ed, Buriko, Ayushi, Silverwolf, Micaron, Jayden, shoutout to you for being cool mutuals and friends!

Week 7 in Singapore: Step 7 Prepare for Midterms/Project Proposals

This week is the week before recess week (spring break). I only had 1 exam for my business course which was given in essay format. I also had to present my project proposals for 3 of my classes. Though this topic may not be the most interesting post, I will break down what I did in order to prepare for my exam. 

For the beginning of the week, Monday (I do not have class) so I spent my day visiting the buddha tooth relic temple. I got there with 1 hour public transportation to visit this cultural landmark. It is a sacred architectural sanctuary that is a testament to the legacy of Buddhism in Singapore. The temple embodies the admist hustle of modern day Singapore while remidnignindividueas to seek solace and tranquiility within their lives. 

****SIDE NOTE: Make sure your clothing is below knee length, chest and arms are covered. If not they will provide public use clothes before entering the temple. 

Here are some pictures:

My exam was on Thursday, so I spent Tuesday and Wednesday preparing. The exam style was an essay so I spent time understanding concepts and application. Usually, they always give practice exams which are quite similar to the exam format. The exam is taken in a huge auditorium with every section and is grouped up by your tutorial section. 

I thought I did well on my exam. One piece of advice is to carry around your laptop charger and converter ALWAYS because your laptop may lose more energy when in a lockdown browser. My project proposals also went well as they were approved. This was a different experience for me as I never needed to have a 1 on 1 group conversation with the professor to approve a project but it was incredibly helpful.

Next, I treated myself to some desert because I just took an exam. I highly recommend everyone to try Bingsu. It's very shiok!!

To end off the week and this post, I want to emphasize the importance of calling family either every day or at least every week so that they can see this wonderful part of your life. For me, I try to call every day so that I can see hi my dog. Regardless if you have a dog or not make sure to call home!

Next week is recess week so my friends and I planned to go to China and Korea. See you in next week's post. 

Have a great week!

Hello !!! My life !!!

Aries [ ayushi ]

I've lost some connection to gods cause of my desires and as a religious person I felt guilty .

May I ask which god / goddess are trying to reach to me and why ?

Thank you !!!!

Hello there dear! Why you should feel guilty? There's no reason to feel guilty at all! I've seen/talking with religious people too, and they can also worship and work with other gods/goddesses too! ^^ Don't restrict yourself from these thoughts! Don't forget to give a feedback when you want and can~~

Sometimes I look in the mirror and think "how can a person be this disgusting ? I mean how do I manage to be so ugly both from outside and inside ? Why do I never care for someone's feelings ? Why am I so emotionless, idiotic, irritating and egoistic person ? Like why and how?"

[ashxketchum]

Ayushi!!!! Super sorry for being late 😭😭😭 I know it’s been days and I am so sorry!!

I LOVE THE LOCKSCREENS! Omg the designs!!! The wonderful art!! My thoughts have come to life!! I am having a really hard time choosing, they’re both done so well!!

The Dragon's Keep (part 5)

*Finished*

Fire Lord Zuko x (Fem!) Reader

Adult Zuko (if it wasn't clear before he is in his early 20s and has been firelord for a few years now.)

Part 1 Part 6. Masterlist

You are a firebender named Ayushi, who has been accepted to guard over the royal family. You end up guarding Zuko through his travels to visit the sun warriors. The mission, protecting the newest dragons, begins.

⚠️ warning- I would say 18 plus. Partial nudity, nothing too graphic. Also, a death is mentioned heavily.

You put on your pajamas, and Zuko walked into the room. Kiyi ran into the room and sat on Zuko's bed. "Can you tell me a bedtime story, Yushi?" She asked happily.

You sat down on your bed. "Yes, of course."

Zuko sat on the bed that kiyi was laying in. You began the story, and not long after, she was already asleep. The excitement of the day had lulled her to sleep quickly. Zuko picked up his sister and brought her to her room, laying her down in her bed.

You stood up, making sure your bag was packed. Zuko followed the plan. He knocked on his Uncles door.

"Nephew. It is late, what can do for you?"

"Uncle, I need a favor, but it has to stay between us." Zuko stepped into the room as Iroh opened the door for him. "I am taking Ayushi to see the sun warriors. Can you please cover for me here."

"Our lives are not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. You both go, share that moment together, Lord Zuko. I can handle things here for a while. I'll tell your mother I know nothing about you sneaking out with the girl. I will take care of the nation for you, nephew. Your mother just went to her room. Watch for the warriors. They are posted all the way out to the coast line."

"Thank you, Uncle." He pulled him into a hug. They both knew how much they meant to one another without explanation. Iroh was like a father to him, someone he could always count on.

"I will be back in a few days' time. A week at most." Zuko said before disappearing.

You grabbed your things as zuko entered the room. "Is this really happening?" You asked quietly. He nodded. "How are we getting there?"

"I have a ship meeting us eight docks away. They will be there around the time we get there." He spoke softly.

Zuko pulled his top knot off and ruffled his hair. He grabbed a commoner outfit. You had already changed into your outfit while he talked with his uncle.

"I have to change, but going out there is dangerous with the warriors' lerking." His tinted cheeks were covered by his hair. He pulled off his silk top and threw on his tunic. You looked away, blushing heavily as he finished dressing.

He grabbed his bag and looked over at you. "Come on. Let's go." He whispered. You jumped up following him. You both slipped out the window. You both snuck around the guards hiding in the shadows. You walked carefully around, never being spotted.

You both made it to the docks, but you are still not quite home free. You snuck ahead, looking around to make sure no one was watching that area. You were waving over when you had your name called. Hua was standing at the road. She walked towards you.

"What are you doing out here? And why do you look so giddy?" Hua smirked, raising her eyebrow. A smile on your lips hiding your guilt.

"I'm just out getting some air. I just have some things on my mind." You trailed trying to fight the guilt from appearing on your face.

"Yeah... sure. A lot on your mind. You put some thought into Lord Zuko, or is he still untouchable 'being a royal.' "

"We kissed. That's why I'm out here thinking it over. I really just wanted some space it's a lot to think about. I just want to be by myself for a little bit."

"I told you. I'll see you around Princess. Do your thinking, and then we are sitting down and talking about this. I need all the details." Hua walked away, and you just slowly walked up the trail, keeping a watch and then waving for Zuko to follow you once it was clear.

"We never kissed?" He almost sounded offended.

"I'm sorry, I'm not great under pressure. We almost got caught." You both hid in the shadows.

"What did she tell you? She said, 'I told you."

"Can we talk about this later? We're kinda trying to escape incredibly talented warri-"

Your back pressed against his chest as a warrior passed. He had cut you off, covering your mouth and grabbing your waist, pulling you close to him.

The warrior passed by. He released you, and as much as you wanted to stay wrapped in his arms, you moved to the next few shadows. You both took off running once you were out of the woods warriors were far behind.

You both slowed down, walking alongside each other.

"I think we're safe." You both caught your breath, your laughs mixing with his.

You both walked at a slower pace, and the waves crashed along the shore in the distance.

"So about the 'I told you'..." zuko trailed

"Well... she..uh.." You tried your best to come up with a way to say it, but every way you'd say, it sounded just as bad as it was.

"She told me that you liked me." You spit it out. "Don't worry, I told her you didn't and that I couldn't like the fire lord. You're royalty, and I'm no realistic suitress... I kinda just screwed that up, though telling her I kissed you. I'll tell her you denied me when we get back. Let's just get to the dragons. We can deal with the mess when we get back."

"Yeah. We can deal with it then." Zuko walked along the path. He was quietly listening to the waves.

You felt nerves building. You wanted to tell him the truth, but you held back in fear that he would deny you and make this whole trip awkward. You walked beside him, not quite able to break the silence.

You both walked for a while before you finally spoke. "Where are we going?" You look around at the change of scenery. The moon provided enough light. You both were walking down a street lined with houses.

"We are going to the meeting point. It's three docks down from here."

"Then where?" You  asked, not really sure what else to talk about to break the silence.

"The eastern air temple. Aang has been rebuilding it. I told the general I was going to visit an old friend. From there, we go on foot to where the dragons are."

"Are you excited to see them again?" You continued

"Yes. I am more excited to watch you see them. We will have to do the dancing dragon when we get there. They will have to accept you." Zuko spoke honestly.

"And what if they dont?" You questioned.

"I wouldn't worry about it. They accepted me." He was failing at being reassuring.

"Zuko, you're the firelord. Of course, they accepted you..." You trailed in fear.

"Not at the time. I was a banished prince who was committing treason to the  firenation. I had lost my ability to firebend. I could barely send fire into the air." He replied.

"You're one of the greatest benders in the nation. I can't imagine that." You spoke.

"I wasn't always. I had to learn a lot, more than just bending. I had to make decisions about my life." He answered while continuing down the path.

"I think you made some good decisions." You tried to comfort.

"I think so, too." He smiled softly, meeting your gaze.

"What was it like being banished? Where did you go?" You questioned.

"It was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I traveled all over the world trying to capture the Avatar just to end up working with him to take my father's place on the throne."

"It must have been nice to see other places." You tried to bring the positive out.

"Everyone hated me and tried to kill me." Zuko spoke bluntly. You turned your gaze to him. "Ba sing se was nice though. I worked in a tea shop with my uncle. No one in the walls knew about the war."

"At least you had some peace." You continued walking and watched the path in front of you.

"What about you? What were you doing during the war?"

"My family was joining together with others to try to help each other. I was learning firebending and stealing food and medicine when I could. My mother got sick, and it caused her body to shut down because she couldn't eat. My father starved after that. He gave me every bit of food we had to me because I was losing weight quickly from getting sick. I healed right before he passed, but it was too late."

"I wish my Father was a better man."  Zuko whispered.

"You have undone so much of his doings already. You're the better man our nation needs. I'm sorry you're having to clean up his mess..." You trailed

"I hope I am, I'm trying my best to clean it up." He paused. "What do you think your parents would say if they saw you now?"

You giggled softly. "I think about it a lot. That's what I was laughing about before you taught me the dancing dragon. I think they would be proud of me. I think they would be shocked at how far I've come. Especially being a royal guest in the Ember Islands. If I were to tell them dragons were alive, then I think they wouldn't believe me and just thought I went crazy."

"I'm excited for you to see them." Zuko reached his hand out, entangling his fingers to yours.

"I'm excited too."

Zuko walked to the ship that waited at the dock. He walked up the deck with your hand in his. "General. Good to see you again."

The General bowed to Lord Zuko. "You as well. Where to, Lord Zuko?"

"The eastern Air Temple." Zuko answered.

"Yes, Lord Zuko." The general led his crew to set sail for the Eastern Air temple.

"General, This is Ayushi. She gets the royal treatment as a... guest." He seemed to hesitate not wanting to call you a guest.

"Yes, Lord Zuko, could I get anything for you and Lady Ayushi." The general asked politely.

Zuko looked at you with a questioning look.

You shook your head no.

"No, not right now, General. Thank you." Zuko led you to the door, your hands still entangled, filing under the deck down the stairs. The halls reminded Zuko of his time of avatar hunting. He walked to a door that was closed. He opened the door and led you inside, closing the door. He lit the torches around the room. It was a bedroom. "I thought you'd like to rest. It will take us to midday tomorrow to get there."

You sat your bags down and bent down to pull out your sleepwear. Zuko took the hint and turned around. You pulled off the commoner clothes and replaced them.

"What about you? You need to rest too."

"I'll be fine." He spoke simply.

"Are you going to leave? I don't want to be in here alone. This is a very different place. Being surrounded by water and sea bound soldiers isn't very comforting to sleep." Vulnerablity seething through your words.

"I will keep you safe." He placed his hand on the small of your back, guiding you to the bed. "Promise you'll stay..." You trailed. You were always surrounded by kyoshi warriors when you were sleeping either outside or inside the room. This all male ship wasn't exactly your choice of comforting places to be.

"I promise." You took his word and trusted them.

"I don't mind if we share the bed. I know you must be tired too."

"Would it make you more comfortable?" He questioned.

"Yes." You answered softly, knowing no man would walk in and mess with a girl who was laying beside the Firelord. Zuko grabbed the clothes from his bag and changed into the silk pants. He laid in the bed beside you. His chest was bare. You looked away from the scar in the middle of his chest. You had seen it before and assumed it was the same as the scar over his eye, not wanting attention drawn to it.

"My sister shot me with lightning. I redirected it." He knew you had seen the scar.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to... it's just right in the middle, and you have a really nice...body." Your cheeks burned. You finished the sentence hesitantly knowing it was too late to stop.

Zuko smirked, wanting so badly to press further he decided to press some. "You think so?" He faced you laying on his side. His hand resting on his cheek, propping himself up. The sheets covered his waist, leaving just enough to the imagination.

"Zuko... don't make me say it again." You replied breathlessly. Your head fought your eyes from roaming, but they were failing terribly. His body was built. The scars only intrigued your mind more.

"I think you do too." He complimented. before laying down on his back. The distance in the two was inches but seemed more like miles. You were craving to close the distance. He wouldn't dare to move, not after you said you were uncomfortable on the all male ship. He knew what you were scared of and certainly wasn't going to chance, making you scared of him. You wouldn't make the first move. Even with every word and sign pointing to Hua being right, you still didn't want to attempt to cross the lines. In fear, she was wrong, and he just liked teasing you with no feelings attached.

You laid on your side facing Zuko, battling your judgments before falling asleep peacefully.

Your eyes fluttered open. Your legs entangled with Zuko. His chest rose and fell. Your arm was draped over his side. His arms held you, protecting you and staying with you just as he'd promised. You closed your eyes, just consuming the moment.

Some time went by, and you felt his breathing speed up slightly.

Zuko lifted his eyes, seeing you holding on to him. Your eyes were closed, just hoping this would last just a little longer. Zuko's arms tighten around you, and then he relaxed, trailing his finger up and down your spine, sending chills. You hummed softly. He pulled his hand away.

A loud knock sounded at the door. "Yes?" He questioned through the door. "Lord Zuko, we will be at the eastern air temple soon." The general answered, not opening the door.

You stretched and then opened your eyes.  "Good morning, Zuko," you spoke sleepily.

"Good morning, Ayushi. The general said we would be there soon."

Your voice was airy and soft. "I don't want to get up yet." The silk hugged your curves. Your hair was tossed around. The torches were flickering around accentuating the skin peeking through the silk where you had tossed and turned, causing ties to loosen through the night.

"We can stay in bed until we get there." Zuko was fighting for control seeing you so vulnerable was tempting. The battle was being lost, and his thoughts were searching in a lustful direction.

"No, I need to get up to get ready." You sat up in the bed on your knees. The silk shifted, and your skin was revealed further. You fixed your hair tossing it back, and your top opened the tie, completely breaking free on your robe. There was a line of skin showing in the middle of your chest.

You slipped off the bed before he lost all inhibitions. You grabbed your clothes and started to change. You didn't mind if he was watching or not. The crush was solidifying, and his thoughts about you were becoming more clear by the hour. If he did feel a certain way about you, you decided you'd push him to admit it.

Your silk top fell to the floor.

Is it just me or does bemuse/amuse give people the same vibe as inflammable/flammable

[themoonlightmaiden]

As far as the firs and ferns spread, 

As far as my gaze went, 

I stared until silhouettes went blurred

Until the sun brisk away, blushed. 

Now the clouds in the tangerine sky unfolds like forlorn hope and the crisp breeze sways little hairs on my arms. 

This is a place where something either ends or starts. 

This is a place where Novembers' are close to heart. 

Its a cave where art keeps me warm. 

It's heaven with our pictures in frames and hell when we are miles apart.
