#alta zuko x reader fluff

[p0ssywhippedcream]

Zuko has been with the gang for a while now and you've been able to teach him how to do most any chore. He can set up tents, bathe Appa and even dry clothes off without lighting them on fire (it happened a couple times tho). But the one thing he just can't get is cooking.

He stands beside you as you lower a pot over the fire gently, his eyebrows knitted. He watches as you angle it so there's no chance of it falling as it small bubbles appear; signaling its commence of boiling. You sit down on a flat stone and take out a small knife, gesturing a c'mere motion with the blade.

"Can you hand me the tomatoes?" He grabs them and passes them over, ears flushing when your hand brushes his.

"You're going to boil them?" You giggle and shake your head.

"No, this is for the broth and the beef. Everybody has been craving it but Aang is a vegetarian, remember?"

He nods and pops a squat next to you on a large rock. Your ankles touch and his toes flex. "You're making him something separate." You agreed with a hum and begin to slice the fruit over a bowl in your lap.

"That's nice of you." You glance up briefly and give him a sheepish grin. He finds it endearing.

As you focus your attention back to the task at hand, Zuko wonders what he should say next. Before he can really consider it, you toss a piece of tomato at Momo and ask, "Your uncle makes tea right?"

"Uh, yeah. Uncle loves tea."

"How come you haven't learned how to?"

He doesn't want to admit that he didn't pay attention when he should've, when he had time to notice how Iroh did it. "I wasn't taught."

"Do you want me to teach you?" You look up and pause your slicing. The bowl has a small stack of tomato piled inside that tumbles when you shake it.

"I'm not very good at uh.. making things." You snicker, remembering when he burned lettuce a couple weeks ago.

"Yeah, I noticed," You smile to let him know you're teasing and he returns it a little shyer. "I could, though. Teach you. You don't have to be good at it."

"What's the point of teaching me if I'm not good at it?"

"I like spending time with you." You shrug and reach for an avocado across him. Your arm is just too short and he takes the opportunity to grab it for you, turning his head so you don't see his blush. "And you'd get the hang of it, tea is like.. your birthright."

Zuko chuckles. He always thought his birthright was violence. He wonders if it still is. He doesn't say that. "Because Uncle owned a tea shop?"

"Yeah," You laugh, "And you can use your fire bending, yunno? But I'm not sure if you have the patience for it."

"Why's that?" Suddenly Sokka is next to him, holding a pile of sticks and asking you where you want them. You point next to the fire and notice the water jumping in the pot. Standing up, you motion for the broth ingredients and Zuko hands you the pre-mixed bowl. Sokka is quickly distracted by Toph demanding to know where Aang went and Zuko turns back to you.

The crackle of the fire comforts the atmosphere as the sun sets, giving your face an orange hue that dances dramatically from your chin to your nose. You tuck a piece of hair away and Zuko can see the way your eyes glitter in the soft glow, your pupils swallowing the color of their rims.

It's silent for a bit, Zuko simply watching as you stir the pot and occasionally call out for Sokka and Toph to stop arguing. You set down the ladle and pick up a bowl of assorted vegetables and fruits, passing it to Zuko.

"Can you find that bread from the village? I think it's in Katara's bag?" He disappears to rummage and returns holding a half-eaten loaf.

"Okay, that should be enough," You remark as you turn away from cooking and towards his returning figure. You make eye contact with him and your nose wrinkles in the moonlight as you smile, "Can you cut that in half and make a sandwich?"

He sits down and follows your instructions, first wiping the knife you'd used earlier before slipping it in the loaf and beginning to separate it. His dominant hand slices down as he keeps it steady in the other and as he gets to the end, he takes his chance to look at you.

Your feet are bare on the ground, a little dirty and as you shift from side to side, your heels lift enough he can see your bridges. A daffodil is stuck to the bottom of your left foot, staring at him before being engulfed in a step again. You move around the pot, pushing the ingredients stuck to the side back in the middle and the flower is left upside down on a rock.

His finger burns in pain and he notices a small cut. He had finished slicing the bread and had dug into his hand. Cursing, he sets aside your assignment and stands up holding his hand as blood flows slowly. You notice immediately and rush over. You bend down and rip a bit of your skirt, wrapping it around his hand and shushing him back down onto the rock again.

"It's not too deep, you should be okay." He nods, hissing as the fabric rubs the sensitive flesh. "It hurts?"

"Yeah." You press his hand towards you, checking it again and clutching it from the palm.

"You can go back to cooking." You look up at him confused and he continues, "It might burn."

"It's fine, it needs to marinate. You need my attention more."

The firelight covers the furious burning of his face, "Are you sure? It's a small cut."

Your expression is hard to see in the dark but the coy fluttering of your features is obvious enough. You're nervous, and a shade darker on your cheeks and oh, you're blushing too.

"I care about you." You murmur and it's a blessing he hears it.

"I- I care about you too," He offers, the urge to look away would be worse if you weren't already doing that. He watches the twitch of your nose as your smile takes your lips again. You meet his gaze and he realizes how close you are. He feels your hot breath on his face and leans in just a bit more. "You look really... really pretty."

Your eyes crinkle in the corners as your mouth spreads wider and reveals your teeth, dimples making his heart flutter as he confesses, "You're glowing. The- the fire makes you glow."

You digest his words with a gentle laugh covered by your hand. "Yeah," You pause and quirk your head to the side, "You do."

He wants to faint and of course he doesn't know what to say. You help him out again and suddenly your nose is brushing his. "You like me?"

He nods because he's not sure he can speak without squeaking.

"I like you too.." Your words are felt on his lips as you get even closer. Your eyes dart across his face, seemingly checking for affirmation before your mouth is on his and all the blood rushes to his head. His hand comes up to hold your head as he kisses you back. For a second, it's so amazing as you lick across his bottom lip until pain is shooting up his hand and he has to pull away.

Your hair had brushed his still open cut and he cradled his hand a little closer to himself as you re-examine it. "Sorry.."

Zuko looks at you like you're crazy, "Don't be sorry."

You glance up and away, still flustered.

"I've liked you for so long," His admission fills the night wind and you prompt him to continue with wide eyes. He's a little quieter as he finishes with, "Since Ba Sing Se."

He misses your voice dearly as he waits for your answer. He gets it in the form of giggles ticklish as butterflies. He watches you with curiosity until you say, "I was wrong, you are patient."

He laughs too now and you both shake beside the fire with hands holding bellies. The spurt of broth leaping out of the pot brings you back and you scramble up to stir it. Zuko watches as you step over the daffodil again and it flips upright, showing him that it was two, smushed so closely it looked like one. He looks up at you in admiration as you taste the stew and feels a surge of affection for whatever luck landed him at your side tonight.

"You were wrong too," His face contorts in confusion and you elaborate, "You're good at making things... you made me like you."

He's the luckiest guy in the fire nation. He goes to tell you but you speak first. "And I want to teach you how to make tea, but I think I should let Iroh. When we find him."

Zuko's left with a mouth hanging open and a heart stuck between missing his Uncle and loving you for all your kindness and thoughtful nature. He settles on both. "I don't know if he'll forgive me."

You make a strange face as you gaze at him over the open flame, it looks intense in the orange heat. "You don't give his love for you enough credit."

Then you're coming over and pecking him on the cheek, making him dizzy again. You bring your lips to his ear and whisper "I think he'll do anything if you let him teach you to make tea."

His smile is warm and flustered when you teasingly add, "I would, and I like you a little bit less than he does."

Zuko & Hanahaki

Hanahaki: a disease in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from unrequited love.

There you sat. Adorned in apple red robes, carefully feeding and playing with the turtle ducks. Zuko stood concealed by the shadows of his opulent home and continued watching you. Continued watching the girl he'd first became infatuated with all those years ago before his scar. Before his banishment. And now that he was back and the new Fire Lord, you two were both able to rekindle your friendship.

Friendship. Zuko hated the word, especially when you used it. Because being back home and spending time with you once again, and not having his banishment or father or the Avatar consume his thoughts, he suddenly realised how deeply he felt for you.

Your laugh suddenly filled the air like sweet perfume, pulling Zuko's lips into a smile. Something got caught in his throat, and he figured it was another symptom of being in love. But his brows furrowed once he realised something was really stuck in his throat. He let out a small cough, and watched three pink petals from his mouth float down to the ground. He looked down in disbelief and horror.

"What do you mean you coughed up petals?"

"I don't know how else to put it Aang. I just, they came out of my mouth. I coughed them up!"

The hum of a simple tune caught Zuko's attention. Swinging his head in the direction it was coming from he watched as you walked past, accompanied by others. Aang and Katara followed his eyes to see you.

"Hi y/n!" They both called out, and you turned to wave back before you caught sight of Zuko. "Hi Zuko." You said warmly.

He awkwardly waved back and you continued down the path through the gardens with your peers. Another cough became lodged at the back of his throat and he couldn't help but let it out. Hands clamped over his mouth, Zuko coughed a little harder than before, and he kept his hands there, afraid to look. Aang and Katara simply stared back at him with a frown.

"Zuko, did you cough up flowers again?"

Zuko shook his head.

Unconvinced, Katara folded her arms. "Zuko."

He pulled his hands away, revealing the bundle of petals in the palm of his hands.

"Oh Zuko, you know what this is? You're sick with Hanahaki." Katara exclaimed.

"I think I heard Gyatso mention it once...I didn't think he was being serious though." Aang responded, scratching his head.

"Well, what is it and how do I get rid of it?" Zuko snapped, throwing the petals out of the window.

"It's a lovelorn disease. You're sick with flower petals because y/n isn't returning the love you feel for her!"

Zuko shook it off, stating it was the craziest thing he'd ever heard and declared he had Firelord duties to attend to. So with a giggle to themselves, Katara and Aang let Zuko be.

It only got worse. And soon, Zuko found that he had to distance himself from you so that you wouldn't find out. There were times when Zuko, the gaang and yourself would all spend time together and Zuko could feel the stir in his chest. The odd sensation in his throat and he'd quickly hurry away.

"Ha! He's coughing up those petals again-"

Katara swiftly elbowed Sokka to shut him up.

"Ow.." Sokka said, rubbing his side.

But you were too focused on Zuko's figure becoming smaller and smaller as he headed down the hall. Curiosity and concern itched at the back of your brain. Why was Zuko acting as though he couldn't stand to be around you anymore. What had changed? What did you do?

Aang came up beside you, watching on with you as Zuko disappeared around the corner. "Maybe you should talk to him."

Of course you could imagine Zuko's dread when one of his officials and trusted advisors interrupted his quick escape. He quickly slipped his hands under the sleeves of his robe, holding onto the petals in his fist. And as they spoke to him, you can imagine his frustration when they told Zuko that he ought to organise an event at the palace in honour of him slowly bringing peace between the nations.

So the throne room was filled with generals and lady's dressed in their most expensive clothes, along with music and servants serving the most exquisite meals. Everyone was having a splendid time.

Zuko, however, was a mess. He had anticipated your arrival the entire night, but he was also worried about seeing you, given his odd disease. And so when you finally walked through those doors you instantly stole the breath from his lungs. Crimson silk robe draped over your body. A beautiful golden headpiece with red petals in your hair.

Petals. Zuko scoffed at the irony. You were already scanning the crowd for Zuko, until your eyes locked onto each other. His dark hair was up, complimented by the Firelord headpiece. He looked so handsome, so sweet as he stared back at you. That was until he quickly averted his gaze and hurried away, and that heavy feeling was back in your chest.

Zuko could barely contain it now. As he walked out to the pond where the turtle ducks lied asleep and close to their mother, handfuls of petals kept escaping him, leaving a trail behind as he coughed.

And coughed, and coughed, and coughed.

He cursed his stupid situation. This stupid disease. These stupid petals. Arms crossed, he glared out at the pond before footsteps amongst the grass caught his attention.

"Zuko?"

It was you. He half turned to see you glancing down at the cherry blossom trail on the ground. Then, with a glint of confusion passing through your eyes, you looked back at him. Zuko wanted to crawl into a hole. He wanted to crawl into the smallest hole he could find and hide in there forever.

"Zuko, what is this?"

He instinctively turned from you. "Nothing." He said, grimacing at his harsh tone.

"It's not nothing..." You said, coming closer until you were by his side. Zuko's body tensed with you being so close to him. So close, yet so far away.

"Zuko, look at me." You held onto the sleeve of his robe and turned him to face you. Shame and embarrassment quickly flooded his expression as he struggled to look you in the eye.

"I said it's nothing. I swear."

"No..." You shook your head, your heart heavy in your chest as the realisation hit you. "The gaang were telling me about this. Just the other day. Hanahaki disease. I didn't realise you had it."

Zuko scowled. Of course they couldn't keep this to themselves and felt the need to give you hints. He shook his head and turned his body away from you again.

"There's someone? A girl that isn't returning your affections?"

Zuko was silent. You let out a sad sigh, wondering who he had such fervent feelings for.

"And she hasn't noticed that you like her? What a stupid girl." You said, arms crossed over your dress.

Zuko turned to you and the words fell from his lips before he could realise what it was he was saying. "Don't call yourself stupid."

Stunned. Both of you were stunned as you stared at each other.

"Me?" You breathed.

Zuko hesitantly grabbed your hand. "Well, who else? It's only ever been you."

But you were too surprised to respond. Both surprised and ecstatic.

"You got Hanahaki because of me?" You asked, a slight smile creeping onto your face.

Zuko bashfully rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I guess."

Then, you did something you thought you'd never do. Still holding onto his hand, you leant in and gave him a quick, tender kiss on his lips. And in that moment, Zuko had never felt more at peace and embarrassingly enough, completely obsessed with you. Only meaning it to be quick because your shyness was getting the better of you, you were about to pull back until Zuko went back in for more. His kiss deep and passionate. Both of your hearts soared, and now nothing else mattered except for you and the relationship that was beginning to blossom.

Your kisses finally came to a stop, and your arms gently wrapped around his neck, your head resting on top of his shoulder. The thrumming in Zuko's chest was so intense he was afraid you would be able to feel it. Still, Zuko did what he'd been wanting to do for so long. He wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his face in your hair, eager to never let you go.

You smiled to yourself as a soft giggle fell from your lips. "You taste like cherry blossoms."

Zuko gave a breathy laugh in return.

MODERN! READER WITH GAANG

𖤓PROMPT: you fell inside your comfort show.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩it was during book 2, you were happy to see toph show her father that she can take care of herself. You had wished to see it in person. And booom! You were suddenly in the show where you can see Aang get busted free from the metal cage.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩after the whole fight scene, toph noticed you and pointed you out. You knew there was no chance in running, so you outed yourself out. By calmly saying you are from another world. As much as you sounded crazy, they laughed while Toph knew you weren’t lying by your heart rate. You showed them your phone and that’s when the main Trio stops laughing and got curious

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩Sokka most definitely will ask if the ladies back in your time era are attractive, you said yes and this boy was asking to see what they look like on your phone 😭

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩and that’s how you got into the gaang. You were the therapist of the group, always listening to their troubles and helping them with all the knowledge you knew about their characters.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩katara always likes to rant about her day to you, and you don’t mind which makes her feels comfortable around her. Book 1 katara was very open on making friends. Book 2, I’ll say the same. If you had meet book 3 katara, YOU BETTER HAD PRAY FOR MERCY LMAO.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩aang likes to play with you with his airbending, and you enjoy the hell out of it. Literally you would smile with the brightest smile, and Aang smiles with you along. Just two sunshines having fun.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩toph likes how you taught her swear words. You and toph curse like sailors😈 lmao. Aang accidentally got influenced and that make katara step in and shut shit down 😭😭.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩you love appa and momo! These furry cuties love you too as appa always licks your face when you show up. Momo sometimes leaps on your shoulders, maybe even trying to share a fruit with you.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩Aang steals your big shirts, and you would try to match with him which makes him even like you more as a friend. You turn into his best friend right there and now.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩with you being a non-bender..protectiveness is to the roof! Literally even if you can fight. There’s still bending that can take you down without a single thought. The people who at your body guards are Aang, toph, Katara, and Zuko. The four powerful benders. But the ones who stick the most are Zuko and toph. Toph because she likes how fierce your personality is. Zuko, Zuko is just himself. Plus he needs more friends.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩Zuko awkwardly ask you a lot of questions from your generation. Like a lot to the point you grabbed his lips shut. That’s when Zuko knew, you weren’t playing games.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩headcannon on zuko and you just being awkward teens not knowing how to start the conversation so all he starts off is, “so, is war a thing in your world?” The way you gave him a wild side glance.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩I can see you making the gaang learn slangs LMAO. You made katara understand the wordings of “What you being messy for?” And she started to use on toph and Sokka 😭😭 you’d probably give Aang a short ass but wholesome slang.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩if you had curly hair, and not some katara curly hair iykwim. I mean like 4c ass hair that I possibly have 😭. I can see katara just amazed and ask in g to comb it which you quickly say no to. Toph, just stands there but probably does touch it when bored. People who ask to touch it is suki, Zuko, and Aang. Those three are people who I can see ask before doing it. Sokka will ask, but will touch it as it ask after 🧍🏾

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩big headcannon Sokka training you on sword fighting, but then Zuko comes in because Sokka is apparently “showing” you the wrong way lol.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩suki most definitely would love to teach you her ways of fighting. Plus chi blocking. Once you mastered it, she would take it up a notch and have you spar with her. In honor of her teaching, you agree. You had the upper hand until she practically cheated by distracting you. Making you lose your focus, she nailed you down. But in all warfare, it was full of laughter and friendship.

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩imainge you showing them that “car” comercial..(of course toph can’t see it lmao) 😭 ZUKO PROBABLY BURNT YOUR PHONE 😨 ALL BECAUSE HE GOT SCARED

- smells x 

the laugh of children could be heard echoing through the hallways of the palace, the patter of feet coming closer and closer to banquet hall were y/n was helping organize decorations for the banquet this evening 

uh oh here we go

“your highness the children are here to speak with you” the guard explained, trying to suppress his grin

“thank you enzo, let them in please” y/n smiled kindly to the guard, knowing what was coming next

the children all came in dressed in there best clothes for the feast they all huddled into a group,all whisper shouting until lin and kya pushed tenzin forward to speak

“um hello auntie y/n, we were wondering if we could ask you something?” little tenzin asked very shyly, looking down towards the ground trying not to make eye contact with y/n

“of course what can i help you all with?” y/n smiled to the children

“well um-m see we where...” tenzin stuttered his face becoming redder by the second, the children beginning to giggle behind him except for lin who scowled at all of them for teasing tenzin 

instead izumi took over instead pushing tenzin back to the group

“well mum, you know how we are all supposed to sleep in our separate rooms after the feast tonight. we were wondering if instead we could bring all our sleeping mats into one room and stay together?” the young girl spoke very quickly to her mother drawing out the last part, looking at y/n with pleading eyes

“like a sleepover” bumi added stepping forward to stand with izumi

“we promise to be extra, extra good aunt y/n don’t we guys?” kya said turning around to the kids, all of them nodding their heads and giving cheesy smiles

spirits how am i supposed to say no

“well if all of your parents say it’s alright, then i don’t see why you can’t” y/n exclaimed making eye contact with each of them giving them a warm smile

a wave of cheers erupted from the group, all of them running to y/n to wrapping there little arms around her legs yelling thank you over and over again

“now all of you run along the feast will start soon” y/n smiled to the children as they ran off happily discussing who was going to sleep next to who

izumi ran back one last time throwing her arms around y/n’s waist and squeezing it tightly

“you’re the coolest mum ever!” izumi exclaimed smiling widely, before running back to her friends

y/n smiled to herself, before walking over to help one of the guards hang up a picture frame

after hours of hanging up artwork, lighting candles and setting the table the feast was ready to begin. the children all sat at there table while all the gaang sat together, the people of the fire nation began to enter as zuko gave the opening speech to allow the feast to commence.

“it is not true” y/n exclaimed crossing her arms and pouting at her friends all teasing her

“love it’s true, they asked you because you can’t say no to them” zuko chuckled amused, placing a arm on his wife’s chair smilingly at his wife 

“no it is not!” y/n exclaimed flabbergasted at her husbands comment, throwing her hands in the air

“sure it isn’t buttercup, i’m sure that if they you asked you something you could say no” toph teased the woman, taking a sip of her drink looking staring at y/n knowing she would crack under her hard stare 

“there just so many of them and they always make tenzin talk for them and he has these little pleading eyes so i can’t say no” y/n rambled out before, snuggling her head into the crook of zuko’s neck out of embarrassment

the group laughed loudly at y/n, katara and aang nodding agreeing with knowing of there son’s bargaining capabilities 

the rest of the feast was a roaring success, everyone leaving with full stomach’s and droopy eye’s. the children all ran to the large room filled with sleeping mats, cushions and blankets the adult’s followed behind laughing at the children’s antics. the children all changed into there sleeping wear and began to settle for bed, y/n volunteered to stay with the children until they fell asleep. 

“be good for aunt y/n okay guys” aang said nodding at kya,bumi and tenzin all lying on there sleeping mats 

“we love you” katara whispered placing a kiss on each of there heads before walking out of the door arm wrapped around aang’s waist smiling 

“be good you two, okay?” toph exclaimed to lin and su, the girls smiled giving toph a quick hug before running back to there sleeping mat, sokka also winked at the beifong sisters from the door making both the girls giggle before walking out with toph

“izumi, i’ll see you in the morning okay?” zuko whispered into the girls ear giving her a tickle before walking over to y/n

“i’ll see you later love” zuko exclaimed kissing y/n on the head before walking out waving to all the kids before shutting the door 

the children erupted with loud voices and shuffling of mats now moving them around after there parents had gone lin and tenzin sheepishly moving there mats next to one another, kya and izumi moved so they would be next to su and bumi.

y/n shook her head and smiled at the children, lin and tenzin reminding her of herself and zuko when they were travelling with the rest of the gaang 

“okay, now that you have moved and gotten all of your talking out it’s time for sleep” y/n exclaimed to the children, resulting in a wave of groans and sighs 

“but mum we aren’t tired yet!” izumi whined flopping dramatically back onto her sleeping mat, y/n rolling her eyes at her daughters antics 

she really is so much like zuko  

“could you tell us a story please?” lin asked hesitantly a chorus of yes and pleases following lin’s question

“well i suppose so, what story would you like?” y/n questioned to the children

they all turned to each other and huddled little snippets of conversation could be heard like “no that’s boring” or “weird”, finally su and kya turned around with a squeal

“could you tell us the story of how you and uncle zuko met please?” the girls giggled and the boys groaned

“it’s going to be all gross and romantic” tenzin sighed in annoyance placing his chin in his hand

“what’s wrong with romance tenzin?” lin raised her brow at young air bender with a smirk plastering her face

tenzin let out a muffled nothing blush dusting his cheeks as he looked away from the young beifong girl

“well zuko and i didn’t get a long at first actually, we met at the northern water tribe when we fought against each other.” y/n began to explain to the children

“stop, leave him alone” y/n yelled as she jumped in front of aang and sent water crystals flying at zuko’s head, the fire prince shielding himself with a wall of fire

“i don’t think we have met yet, prince zuko soon to be capture of the avatar” zuko mocked the girl, sending back a ball of fire which y/n gracefully dodged

“i wish i could say it was a pleasure to meet you but it isn’t” y/n yelled sending a wave of water over freezing zuko in a block of ice

“by the way the names y/n” y/n smiled running over to help katara with aang

“woah you trapped dad in ice” izumi gasped looking at her mother with wide eyes

“yes well he was trying to capture aang” y/n explained to her daughter, making the other kids giggled at the thought of the two men trying to capture each other

“i met zuko again when he joined our group at the northern air temple, i didn’t trust him at first i was still convinced he was trying to capture aang. so he tried to convince me that he wasn’t.” y/n smiled at the memory

“spirits y/n what is it going to take to get you to trust me” zuko yelled at the girl throwing his hands in the air out of frustration

“i don’t know zuko, all this time we have been running from you and i’m not sure if i can trust you” y/n yelled back tears beginning to form in her eyes

“please y/n just give me a second chance” zuko pleaded, showing y/n a side of himself that she had never seen before

“okay i will give you a second chance,if you hug me” y/n said smirking at the boy

“what why would you want that” zuko exclaimed stepping away from the girl exasperated at the idea

“come on zuko one hug and i’ll give you a second chance” y/n teased opening her arms and wrapping them around zuko

the fire bender turned a bright shade of red as the girl squeezed him tightly, zuko reluctently wrapped his arms around the girl

y/n smiled contently, quickly placed a kiss on his cheek and skipped away yelling a “thanks zuko” over her shoulder

zuko stood there in shock placing a hand on his cheek were y/n has kissed him

“auntie y/n why did you hug him” kya asked tilting her head

“yes why did you hug me?” zuko questioned leaning against the door smirking at his wife before walking over to her, scary all the kids and y/n

“zuko spirits, how many times have i told you not to sneak up on me” y/n scolded the man whacking him on the chest causing him and the children to chuckle

“sorry love but i wanted to see what was talking you so long but now i want to know why did you hug me” zuko questioned his wife

“well i know how much you hated being hugged or anything involving another person touching you ,it made you feel like you were trusting them which weren’t really open too. so i knew that if you let me hug you and you accepted it that then you truly trusted me and i could trust you.” y/n explained to her husband smiling at him as the kids awed at the couple

“also i had a bit of a crush on you then” y/n laughed before zuko hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear “i love you”

“now i think that is enough stories for tonight so goodnight everyone” y/n exclaimed waving to all the kids blowing out all of the candles, before walking out the door

“thanks for that zuko i don’t think i-mph” y/n was silenced by zuko’s lips pressing against her, still after all these years it sent fire works through her body

“thank you for trusting me love” zuko whispered tucking a stray piece of y/n’s hair behind her ear earning a loving smile from his wife.

“i would do again it a thousand times” y/n gleamed embracing zuko tightly just like she did all those years ago.

The bell jingled behind her as Y/N opened the door to the Jasmine Dragon. Surprisingly, it was empty. Every time she passed by, the tea shop always seemed to be bustling with customers, but maybe it was a slow day? 

She looked around for any workers, but there weren’t any, so she decided to take a seat.

She sat down at a table near the window, exhaling as she looked out, watching the city. She glanced at the only other customer in the shop, who seemed to not have noticed she came in.

“Hello!” She waved, and he waved back with a small smile. “So... do you come here often?” she asked, trying to spark conversation. She didn’t know how to approach him, so she just said the first thing that came to mind. The male stared at her.

“I- I literally work here.” She looked at his apron, which clearly had the Jasmine Dragon logo on it. He blinked, and she blinked back. Wait-

“Oh... oh right, sorry.” She gave an apologetic smile and internally punched herself. You idiot. He laughed and got up to wash his hands.

“No worries. But yes, I do come here often.” He dried his hands and filled up the kettle, boiling water for the next order. “What can I get you?”

“Hmm... I’ve never actually been here before.” Staring at all of the different choices, she had no idea what do get. “What do you recommend?”

“Umm.” He looked over the menu and pointed at an option. “How about this? It’s my favorite.” She nodded and he got to work. She watched him, entranced by the way he poured water into the kettle, boiling the water with impossible grace, as if he had been making tea his entire life.

Y/N, what are you doing? He’s literally just making tea, she told herself, but she couldn’t help but stare at him as he poured the steaming hot water, a tea bag already in the cup. Her eyes wandered over the cute worker, gleaming at his messy hair and red scar. Was it possible for a scar to make someone look... even better? 

He looked up at her, meeting her eyes. Shoot. She quickly looked away, but not before she saw the blush on his face. Clearing his throat, he went back to work.

After a while, he grabbed the cup and handed it to her.

“Here you go, have a great day.” He smiled and went away to wash his hands. She sipped the tea, which blessed her taste buds. The tea tasted sweet, but not strong, the aroma also pulling her in. She understood why it was the boy’s favorite as she went in for another sip. 

“Do you like it?” He was suddenly behind her, so she turned around to face him.

“Yeah, it’s great! Thank you.” She smiled and drank her tea in an uncomfortable silence. The two stood awkwardly, unsure what to say.

“Uhm... if it isn’t a bother, can-” He cleared his throat. “Can I possibly get your number? I think you’re cute.” he asked shyly, face blushing. Oh?

“Oh- of course!” She handed him her phone, and he typed in his number. She quickly entered in her information, under the contact name “Y/N,” hoping he would be able to recognize her by the name. “Thanks for the tea!” she said, waving goodbye and pulling up her phone.

Zuko. His name was Zuko. She already had a text from him.

Zuko: sorry for being so awkward. 

She laughed, and immediately shot a text back.

Y/N: no worries~ make it up the next time we meet 😌

————

jet opened his eyes slowly, mai appearing in front of him. he closed his eyes again, snuggling into the pillows before opening his eyes immediately in realisation. he sat up, looking around in panic. he was naked, a thin blanket over his middle. mai was next to him, on her back, the blanket pulled up to her chest. 

“shit, shit, shit,” jet muttered, getting up out of the bed. he located his clothes, slipping them on quickly while going out of the room. he went to the bathroom, groaning as he saw a bunch of hicks on his collar bone. he lifted up his shirt, seeing more hickies on his chest. 

“dammit, jet. great going,” jet scolded himself. “you got a great girl and now you just fucked it up. what’s wrong with you?!”

jet washed his face quickly, running his fingers through his hair to flatten it. his then phone vibrated in his pocket. he pulled out his phone and groaned as he saw a few texts from you over the last hour and a half.

y/n <3: hey! where are you? i’m home

y/n <3: hey, are you okay? where are you?

y/n <3: okay, jet, i’m really worried now. please answer your phone. 

y/n <3: i’m sorry if i’m bothering you or if you’re busy, but can you please at least just send me a text so i know you’re okay.

“fuck,” jet grumbled, turning off his phone. 

he knew he should answer you, but he didn’t know what to say. ‘hey, y/n, i just slept with mai. sorry i’m a horrible boyfriend’ didn’t seem the best. jet decided to go to his friend’s house, shower, change clothes, and then go and pick up some donuts for you. he needed to figure out the best way to tell you, even though he knew it would end up with you two breaking up no matter what.

jet left mai’s house in a hurry, sneaking out to his car. he called his friends, telling them that he needed a place to shower. 

“why can’t you shower at your place?” longshot asked. 

“i’ll tell you later,” jet said over the phone. 

“hm, alright. well, we’re not home right now. do you have the key?” smellerbee asked. 

“yeah, i do. thanks, guys,” jet sighed, ending the call. 

he hurried to longshot’s house, hopping in the shower and getting a change of clothes from the drawer that was filled with his own clothes, for emergencies just like these. he found some of smellerbees girlfriend’s concealer and put some on his collarbone to hide the hickies. he then went to the little donut shop near your house, picking up a dozen of your favourite donuts and returning to his place. 

he went into the house from the garage door, nervously looking around for you. he found you sitting at the kitchen table, a coffee cup in hand. you had your hands on your face, your leg bouncing up and down, something you did whenever you got stressed. 

you heard the door shut and took your hands off your face, your eyes wide in relief once you saw jet. 

“where were you?!” you exclaimed. 

“i-i spent the night at longshot’s. are you okay?” jet asked in a shaky voice, setting the box of donuts down. his heart was racing so fast, he was sure he could go into cardiac arrest. 

“yeah, i’m fine, i was just worried about you,” you sighed, engulfing him into a hug. 

jet’s body tensed at your touch, but relaxed soon after. he wrapped his arms around your middle, burying his face into your hair. he breathed in deeply, enjoying the scent of your shampoo. he had missed you so much last night.

“i’m sorry. my phone died a while ago and i haven’t been able to charge it,” jet apologised. he cursed at himself for lying to you, but he didn’t want to tell you now. not while you were already upset. 

“it’s alright. i just… i was just worried you were off with another girl. shang used to go out a lot of night and i always thought he was just going out with his friends and well, all know how wrong i was,” you chuckled sadly. 

“well, i was at my friends, okay? i love you and i would never ever do something like that,” jet said, his throat tightening up as he told the lie. 

you pulled away from the hug and looked up at him with a smile. “yeah, i know. i love you, too.” you leaned up and pressed your lips onto his into a slow, passionate kiss.

jet’s arms tightened around you, pulling you impossibly closer. he furrowed his brows while kissing, savouring the taste and feel of you lips. he wasn’t sure how many more times he’d be able to kiss you before he told you the truth. 

you pulled away, opening your eyes and staring into his. jet’s face got red and hot from your gaze. he averted his eyes and looked at the donuts, wanting to change the subject.

“i got you some donuts,” he said.

“ooh!” you giggled, pulling yourself away from his embrace. 

he kept his arm around your waist, smiling as he saw the excitment in your eyes.

“ugh, bless the spirits for you,” you said, picking up a donut with pink icing and taking a bite. you moaned at the taste, looking at jet. “i love you so much.”

jet chuckled with a wide smile. “i love you, too, so much.”

“here, you want one?” you asked, picking up a chocolate-covered donut.  “nah, i’m good,” he shook he head.  “more for me!” you giggled, taking the box and putting it onto the kitchen table. you sat down, jet following you tentatively. 

you noticed his nervous behaviour and wasted no time in asking. 

“what’s wrong? sit down and talk to me,” you demanded more than suggested, pulling out a chair. 

he sighed and sat down. “i just… i’ve just been thinking about a lot of things.”

“what kind of things?” you asked, your heart rate starting to escalate. your mind raced through a million different thoughts. you hoped that whatever he had to say had nothing to do with breaking up.

“um… so, i think you noticed i was a little stand-offish last night,” jet prompted. 

“a-a little,” you nodded slowly. 

“well, i’ve just been a little jealous of you and zuko. i know we’ve talked about this before, but it’s just been clouding my thoughts,” jet explained. “are um… are you cheating on me with zuko? i-i know that’s a stupid accusation, but you two have just been talking so much. i understand that you haven’t seen him in a while and you hanging out with him last night didn’t bother me, but… all you do is text and call him. early in the morning, while we’re hanging out, late at night. i just want to know if you have a thing with him or anything.”

you looked at him, processing every word. you put your donut down, wiping your hands off with a napkin and taking his hands into yours. 

“no, i’m not cheating on you with zuko, or with anyone, for that matter. i’m sorry that i’ve been talking to him a lot recently. we’ve just been discussing a lot. see, zuko wants to break up with mai and i’ve been helping him on how to do that, but that’s no excuse. i should be paying more attention to you, especially when we’re hanging out together. i’m sorry, i didn’t realise what i was doing,” you apologised. 

jet nodded, letting out a breath of relief and guilt. “it’s alright.”

“do you believe me?” you asked. you wanted to make sure he knew you were telling the truth. 

jet smiled and nodded, “yes, i do. i’m sorry for getting all weird and jealous.”

“no, no, don’t apologise. we all get those doubts from time to time. the most important thing is to not let them control us,” you smiled. 

jet chuckled sourly, looking down at their hands. “right.”

you pursed your lips and narrowed your eyes at him. you had a feeling there was something else bothering him. 

“you know, if there’s anything else you need to tell me or ask me, go ahead. i’ll always be understanding and honest with you,” you said. 

jet sighed quietly. he knew you wouldn’t be understanding with him cheating on you with mai. he wanted to tell you so bad. the words were just on the tip of his tongue. when he lifted his head to tell you, his eyes met yours and he saw the fear in your eyes. he couldn’t bring himself to tell you and ruin your day. 

“no, no, there’s nothing else. i just feel stupid for doubting you,” he shrugged. he wasn’t lying about that, at least. 

you nodded and leaned froward, pressing a kiss to his forehead. 

“like i said, it’s okay. as long as you believe and trust me, we can make this work, and vice versa,” you said. 

jet nodded and smiled, “you’re right.”

“i always am,” you giggled. 

you pulled away, looking up at the clock in the kitchen. “crap, i gotta go.”

“where are ya going?” jet asked.  “katara and sokka’s to plan katara’s birthday. her birthday happens to be. the day before graduation, so we’re just mashing the two parties together,” you explained. 

“oh, fun. am i invited?” jet asked. “of course you are. you’re graduating, too,” you smiled. 

“are zuko and mai coming?” jet asked. 

“yeah, even if mai and zuko are broken up by that time,” you sighed. 

“should be fun,” jet chuckled. 

“i hope so,” you chuckled with him. you got up out of your seat, slipping on your shoes and purse. “alright, i gotta go. i’ll be back soon.” “have fun!” jet smiled. “will do,” you grinned, going to him and pressing a quick kiss to his lips. 

jet watched you as you leave, slumping back in his chair as soon as you were gone. he was in some deep shit.

Cold Hands - [Zuko x Reader]

Word Count: 1557

Tumultuous laughter echoed throughout the dark, dense forest. Normally, the Gaang would be more careful in order not to attract any unwanted visitors but no one cared at the moment. After a long time of traveling and training; you finally were about to relax. Well, as much as wanted war criminals could relax.

Everyone was circled around a small fire, where everyone retold stories and memories from their time together. Many inside jokes were shared, especially the whole Sokka’s cactus juice incident. 

Toph sat across from you, sitting against a rock with her arms rested behind her head. Next to her sat Aang and Katara, who were notably sitting rather close to each other; every once in a while stealing glances. Sokka was seated in between yourself and Katara, sulking due to the teasing and ridicule of cactus juice. A mere few inches from you sat Zuko, the infamous banished prince. Neither of you could deny the chemistry you had together; the stealing glances, brushing hands, unnecessary supply runs, sitting too close to each other, all of the works. Of course neither of you would admit it. The rest of the Gaang would never let you hear the end of it. They rooted for you two. You’d be lying if you didn’t think about being in a relationship with him, but you would never admit it. 

A cool breeze blew through the camp, causing the fire to sizzle and crack a bit. It was close to summer and it was still outrageously cold. Maybe it was the mix of the cool breeze and the shadows of the trees, not that it mattered. The only thing that did matter was how freezing cold your hands were. In comparison, they were basically ice cubes even though it wasn’t that cold out. Your hands were just naturally cold you guess, and the cold breeze just made them even more so. As everyone talked, you desperately rubbed your hands together trying to warm them up but they eventually just settled under your thighs for warmth. Your eyes watched an animated Sokka as he explained some things he used to do in the Southern Water Tribe with Katara. 

Suddenly, a mischievous smile spread across your face. Zuko turned to you questioningly as you slowly stood up as no one else paid attention to your rising form. You see, Sokka is like the annoying brother you wish you never had; so when you had the chance to pester him you would take it. Silently you ventured behind Sokka, who was way too invested into his story to notice you. The others did, however, notice your obvious form lurking behind the unsuspecting water tribe boy. You quietly and quickly shushed them before they said anything by bringing your pointer finger up to your lips. 

You placed your hands on the back of the unsuspecting boy’s exposed neck, “Are my hands cold?”

Sokka immediately screeched and jumped up, trying to remove your ice cubes for hands off of him. However you stood your ground.

“What the hell?! Why are your hands so freaking cold?! Get off of me!” Sokka screamed, the pitch of his voice heightening until it cracked. Everyone erupted in laughter as Sokka unsuccessfully removed your hands off of him, causing him to thrash around sightly.

Zuko watched the scene in front of him. Toph, Aang, and Katara laughed at Sokka’s discomfort while you stood behind Sokka. Your hands still firmly place of his neck with Sokka’s hands placed on yours, trying to remove them. Zuko’s eyes flashed with jealousy as he slightly glared at the poor brown boy. He should be the one holding your hands, not Sokka. Once his golden eyes shifted to your form, the jealousy in his eyes softened to admiration.

Your laugh rang through Zuko’s ears, and a sense of warmth spread through his chest. He loved your laugh. To him, it was the most beautiful thing ever. He knew if he’d tell you that you’d disagree with him because of the occasional snort or wheeze that left you as you laughed. If anything, that’s why he loved your laugh. It was unique and practically radiated happiness. Your laugh never failed to make him smile. The soft smile on his lips was proof of that.

He loved the way your hair flowed, slightly covering your face as Sokka thrashed around in your hold. Oh how he wished he could just run his fingers through your silky locks. Twisting strands of your hair between his thumb and pointer finger while you cuddled up next to him. When you finally let go, you doubled over and laughed. One of your hands resting on your knees as your other hand pushed your (h/c) hair out of your face.  

But your eyes, oh spirits, they were probably one of his favorite things about you. The way they practically sparkled as you laughed, the way they glistened in the sun, how the looked in the orange fire, how they softened when you looked at him. 

Man, you drove him crazy. But he loved it. 

As everyone settled down, you treaded back to your spot. What Zuko didn’t expect was for you to sit closer to him. Almost completely closing the space that was once between you two. Your hand rested in between you and Zuko, as everyone began to converse yet again. After a while, a wave of confidence overwhelmed Zuko. He cautiously placed his hand over yours, expecting you to retract your hand in disgust. You simply looked over at him and smiled, an obvious blush dusted your (tanned/pale/dark/etc.) face. Zuko had a matching blush on his face and the both of you turned, engaging in the conversation with the rest of your friends.

---

After another hour of talking, the Gaang decided to catch some sleep since they would be leave tomorrow morning. With the help of Zuko, you pulled your sleeping bag from Appa’s saddle. 

You laid out your sleeping bag next to Katara’s giving her a good amount of space between you two. Zuko placed his next to yours, not looking you in the eye as he shifted his a bit closer; still giving your respectable room but not as much room as you gave Katara. As everyone climbed into their own sleeping bags, Aang put out the fire. Plunging the camp into darkness, the only light came from the stars and moon. 

In record time, Aang’s loud snores and Sokka’s sleep talking rang through the camp. You shivered as you snuggled deeper into your sleeping bag. You didn’t understand why you were so cold, no one else seemed bothered by the breeze. Maybe your clothes were a little too thin? Or perhaps it was your sleeping bag? Regardless, you were cold and it was hard for you to sleep. Everyone else seemed to be in deep sleep so you shifted a bit, your sleeping bag rustled a bit as you lay on your side, facing  Apparently, your body decided not to agree with you as you continued to shiver; causing your sleeping bag to rustle a bit. 

“Are you cold?” Your eyes snapped opened, meeting a pair of gold ones. The golden orbs captured the shining stars beautifully, almost recreating the heavens above. You almost forgot the question that left his lips as you quickly snapped out of your dazed.

You didn’t trust yourself to speak. So you closed your eyes and just simply nodded your head. 

Zuko seemed to contemplate with himself as he lay still after you answered. A long ten seconds dragged out until you heard Zuko shift. You reopened your eyes to see Zuko slip out of his sleeping bag. He bent down and picked up his sleeping bag, placing it back down right next to you. The banished prince climbed back into his sleeping bag. The only difference being that he slowly wrapped his arms around you, giving you time to pull away in case he was overstepping boundaries. Seeing that you didn’t pull away, he fully wrapped his arms around you; one underneath you with his hand resting on the small of your back and the other wrapped around your waist. You can tell he slighly warmed up his hands, not to the point where it burned, but to where the warmth caused you to turn putty in his hands. 

Immediately, you’re engulfed in warmth. You weren’t sure if it was the natural body heat the fire bender radiated or if it was the blood that ran to your cheeks. 

“I-Is this okay?” Zuko whispered. For someone who was bold enough to cuddle you, he was extremely nervous. You looked up at him and grinned. 

“More than okay.” You answered.

You nuzzled your face on the crook of his neck, warming up the tip of your nose. Zuko’s hand that was resting on your back moved upward, losing itself in your hair. Slowly he began to twist and twirl stands of your hair around his fingers, occasionally moving up to your scalp softly dragging his nails over it; causing you to hum in approval.

“What if they see us?” You asked, referring to the rest of the Gaang, “They’ll never leave us alone after this.” 

Zuko placed a soft kiss on the top of your head, “Let them see.”

✨💔Flaws💔✨

Masterlist ✨ Requesting Rules

Request; 26 from the songlist for Sokka or Zuko

A/N; This is going to be very angsty, the song flaws by bastille is something i relate too a lot (past self doubt, insecurities, s*lf h**m) so this is going to be very angsty because i am a DEPRESSED human

Pairing; Sokka x Gender Neutral Reader, Zuko x Gender Neutral Reader

Warnings; mentions of self harm, self doubt, angst, fluffy end though

Sokka

Sokka knew of your insecurities, you always seemed to be more...silent these days. He understood of course, you were on the run from the Fire Nation after the failed attempt during the eclipse. You were worried for everyone that was captured, your father was captured and you beat yourself up over that. You’ve always been the type of person to voice their opinions, but not their feelings, you bottled them up. 

You were a waterbender, you were sent away from the Southern Watertribe after Katara’s mother was killed, your parents feared your safety so they sent you away. You hated being away, your depression took toll from a young age. You were best friend’s with Sokka, and he missed you too. Neither of you forgot each other. So when he arrived at the Northern Watertribe and you reconnected you two started dating.

Now, hiding out in the Western Air Temple, you seemed more...quiet and stand offish. You stayed in a dark and dusty hallway in the temple with your water from your sack. Creating spikes and piercing your palms with it. It didn’t hurt, you honestly felt so numb. Your father was being tortured and if you fought just a little harder maybe he wouldn’t? You let out a sigh as you let the water fall, setting your now bloody palms down on the slick ice you created. Hot tears rolled down your cheeks a moment before you heard footsteps coming your way.

“Y/n? Is that you?” Sokka’s soft and caring voice rang out. You sniffled in response in which alerted him that it was, in fact you. “What are you doing?” He asked softly, moving to side in front of you. The sun from the window, well not really a window but a cut out of the stone wall, hit your face almost perfectly to him. “Nuh-Nothing. I’m just...” You sniffled again and wiped your nose with your sleeve. “I’m just sitting in the hallway...”

Sokka scanned your figure, breath hitching when he saw your hands. “Y/n, what are you doing to yourself?!” He shouted in a hush tone. He knew of this problem, but thought you had stopped. He saw the scars on your body when the makeout sessions got more handsy or when you all were swimming. You had a lot of markings, whether it was scars or stretch marks, it was there. You sniffle yet again.

Sokka was more scared of your silence, until you finally spoke. “You always wear your heart and flaws on your sleeve. I always bury mine deep beneath the ground. How are you that confident?” You whisper, not looking into his eyes on fear that you would see disgust in them. You beloved boyfriend moved to your side. “Y/n...I’m only like this because your helped me, you and the rest of them. When all of your flaws and all of my flaws are counted, they are all the same. They make us who we are.” He whispered soothingly and kissed your head. 

“We are our own worst enemy, we know things about ourselves that no one else does, so we pick ourselves undone. All the flaws we have go hand in hand, ones we’ve inherited and one’s that we made. No one is perfect. Without them we wouldn’t be us.” He stated while he wrapped your hand in a bandage cloth he had in his small knapsack. “Then, why does it feel like there’s a hole in my soul...I can feel it and...I hate it.” “I guess you’ll have to find someone to fill that hole, or fill it yourself.” Sokka answered, kissing your forehead softly. “Can you fill it?” Your voice was soft, almost like a scared child. 

“I’d love too, Y/n.”

Zuko

“I can’t do this.” Your voice brought Zuko’s golden eyes to your e/c one. “Y/n, what do you mean?” He asked softly and calmly, seeing the sorrow and hurt in your expression. You both were in Ba Sing Se, at Iroh’s new tea shop, with the rest of the Gaang. 

“I mean, Zuko, I am a nonbender. I can’t be with the Firelord. People will judge. You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve Zuko, the trauma, the scar, everything. I’m one flaw that shouldn’t be worn.” You said softly, throat already feeling raw from the needy to cry. “Y/n, no. You aren’t a flaw-” “Yes I am Zuko! Your an all powerful firebender now. If we laid our flaws one by one, I would be among yours.” “That’s not true!” 

You flinched at his yelling and sniffled, tears already falling down your cheeks. “There’s a hole on my soul, only for you okay? You can fill it. I may not know all of your flaws, but we can dig them up and come to terms with it. All of your flaws and all of my flaws can be exhumed, we can learn to love each on that. I know you already love be despite my flaws. I love you for you. I would love you if you were a bender too. But I love my nonbender Y/n. I wouldn’t change that for the world. If we did lay out all of our flaws it would be a wonderful mess. Beautiful even. We pick ourselves undone but we can also put ourselves together.” Zuko stated, grabbing your hands and rubbing your knuckles with his thumbs.

“Stop burying them deep beneath the ground, my love. You’re the most amazing partner I could ever ask for.” Your eyes started to water at all his soft spoken words. “Even...even with all my scars..?” You ask softly as tears still continued to roll down your cheeks. “Y/n, I love everything about you. Inside and out.” He whispered as he pressed his forehead against your. “Let’s finish what we started okay?” You nod in response happily.

Raindrops

When Zuko woke up to rain falling upon the Fire Nation, he instantly cancelled all his meetings for the day.

This caught all of his advisors off guard. Why would he possibly cancel important meetings when everyone would be in the safety of the palaces warm, and dry walls?

Well that was the thing, he didn’t want to be confined to the palace on a day like this.

“Darling, you didn’t have to do this, you know.”

He gave you a soft smile. “Love, you know I am a man of my word. Have I ever let you down?”

You let out a breathy laugh against his wet robes. “Of course not.”

Much to everyone in the palaces’ horror, their very own leader was risking illness that could set back important plans for weeks, to do something so uncivilised to their class.

He cancelled all of his duties to dance in the rain. With you.

Lifting your head to look at him, you couldn’t help but break out a smile. He looked just as handsome as the day you met him… well almost, but that was something you could easily fix.

“My love, I don’t understand how you can do something that is supposed to be freeing of your soul with your hair kept up like that.”

Throwing his head back in a moment of joy, he remembered how that was exactly what you said to him all those years ago as you dragged him out into the rain. Taking his laughter as his acceptance, you wordlessly reached up, easily undoing the crown securing half of his long hair in a bun. With his hair cascading down his face, you can’t help but entangle your fingers into it, stroking the right side of his face with your thumb.

“You look beautiful like this.”

Zuko shakes his head, “isn’t that what I’m supposed to be saying to you?”

“Hmmm, possibly, but what type of lover would I be if I wasn’t honest?”

Pulling you closer, he continues to sway you side to side completely filled with warmth as he reflects on how wonderful this moment is. After all, it was the rain that brought him to you.

He takes a small step back, playfully twirling you out into the garden. Lifting your face to the sky, you take in all of what it has to offer. His heart feeling more content than ever as he admires the way you giggle at the rain, bare toes digging into the usually dried up ground. Just the sight of you made him feel free.

After having your small solo moment of fun, you bring yourself back into his chest. Back to your home.

Placing his hands on either side of your face, he can’t think of a more perfect time than this as he gazes upon your face. The rain making you look ethereal. “Y/n, my love, would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?”

“Oh, Zuko darling, I am yours even into our next lifetimes. For the rain will eternally bring me home to you.”

zuko cuddles 🫶🏻

It had been a long day for everyone. Azula finding you all at the air temple and forcing you to evacuate. Once you had set up camp, you wandered off to go find something to eat while the others did some variant of a chore.

You cooked, laughed together and everything was good for a while. Then you realized as you were setting up your tent that there wasn't enough room for everybody. Katara decided to share with Toph and Suki decided she didn't want to be stuck with Aang and her boyfriend all night so she joined them too. That left you and Zuko with the last tent because everybody else was weary of him and Sokka had already closed off his tent.

Aang pulled you aside and asked, "Are you sure you're okay with this?"

"Yeah," You said, "There's no reason to not use our third tent and I don't want you or the girls to feel crowded."

Then, everybody had settled in, saying their goodnights and sweet dreams and it was just you and Zuko, alone.

Nervously, you smiled at him and asked if he'd like to help you set up the tent. He of course said yes and rushed forward trying to help. It only took a few minutes to realize that the former prince had no idea how to make a tent and you let him sit down as you built it.

"Sorry.." He murmured and you threw a soft smile at him over you shoulder.

"it's okay. I work best by myself anyway." You lifted up the tent door and motioned for him to go in.

You made your bed and then helped him make his gingerly and then curled up, trying to fall asleep. Like always, your luck was against your will. The fire had already been put out and a cold breeze was setting in. Your body heat quickly succumbed to the cold and small shivers racked you.

Looking behind you, you noticed two things. One was that Zuko was already looking at you with those intense gold eyes and two was that he was shivering as well. Well, you'd already been caught so you just rolled over to your side completely and gave him a shaky smile.

"Hey." You offered.

"Hey." He replied.

"You cold?" You asked.

"A little. You?" He supplied.

"Yeah." You said and then there was silence. You tried to think of something to say but most of it was nonsense. Luckily, he spoke.

"We could maybe light the fire again?"

You shook your head, "Aang gets nervous with it lit when we're asleep, Katara too."

"Oh..." He got that cute, thinking face on and pondered the options for a second. With a shaky voice, he said, "Well, I could try to warm you up a little.. you know, with my fire bending?"

Your teeth chattered as you giggled, "Yeah, I assumed... Sure, if you're okay with it?"

He nodded and you scooted your sleeping bag closer until you were a breath away. He gave you an awkward smile and let his hands become warm. Tentatively, he slipped them under your sleeping bag and rubbed them up your bare arms. Immediately, warmth filled your body and you subconsciously scooted closer with a sigh.

it was hard to tell in the dark but you thought you saw a blush on his cheeks. Slowly he moved his hands to your shoulder blades and then on your neck and sides. It was hard to tell when it happened but at some point between him warming up your biceps and your back, you gotten so close, your breath could be felt on his neck.

It made him nervous. Not only because of the times in the past he'd tried to kill you and how forgiving you were being but because with you this close, he could see all your beauty magnified. Your eyelashes trembled on closed eyes, lips stuttered and nose twitched. You were ethereal in the dim blue light of the moon shinning through holes in the tent. It was almost too much for him.

Then he noticed your breath had evened out. it was slower and smoother. You had fallen asleep practically in his arms. Just as he was about to retreat his hands, yours wrapped around his neck and settled on the nape. You were so close, so soft and gentle even In your sleep. Your fingers brushed the short hair as you let out small snores and held him so his chest was to yours.

The thing that really took his breath away was when your legs wove in-between his and your toes kissed his calves. Zuko might have died and gone to heaven. The prettiest person he'd ever met was curled up in his arms and sighing hot wisps of air over him.

Then you mumbled his name gently and squirmed a little, your nose tucked up in his collar bones and he felt himself swoon. How ever would he be able to face you tomorrow?

Nightmares

SUMMARY: You were close with Zuko when he was Lee in Ba Sing Se and joined the group there too. When Zuko joins the group you are cold to him. You have a nightmare one night and wake up screaming. Zuko comforts you (Based on ask)

PAIRING: Zuko x Waterbender! Reader

Warning: Nightmares, Dreams about death

“I just can't believe this” you huffed, frustrated. Your Lee from Ba SIng Se was the fire prince that hunted the avatar and yet here he is standing in front of the avatar saying he has changed and wants to teach him how to fire bend. The person is standing in front of you looks exactly as Lee did in Ba Sing Se but the things that Katara, Sokka, and Aang are saying it makes you question everything. You watched as Zuko turned and walked away from the gang. You haven't heard much of what was said but you felt like you should go after him. He was Lee the boy from the tea shop, the one who knew exactly what time of day you were going to come in and always had a cup of tea ready for you. 

You couldn't continue to watch this. You turned on your heels and headed back to the room you had been staying in. you sat on the floor in front of the fireplace and watched the flames flicker. Cinders from the air landed around your feet. You laid on the ground by the fire and closed your eyes. Letting the warmth of the air lull you to sleep.

The next morning while you all were eating breakfast toph came crawling in with the soles of her feet. You and Katara began healing her feet. You could feel the anger bubbling up in your chest but you just couldn't tell who exactly it was at. It could have been at Lee, no ZUko, you thought, or was it directed to the group because you knew that the person you knew could never in a million years hurt someone on purpose. Your anger grew even more when they suggested going after him because according to Sokka, “He was too dangerous to leave on his own.” With that statement you turned and left to go back to the room you were staying. In

You had barely even gotten a few feet away before you hear an explosion. Your head whipped around and you immediately opened the bottle that held your water, Running in the direction of where the rest of the group was. You look in the direction of where the explosion came from and you felt only what you could describe as shock when you saw Zuko on the ledge fighting the “Combustion Man” as Sokka called him. You weren't as close to the rest of the group but when you saw Zuko fall off the edge, a scream escaped your lips. Combustion man Jumped down from the ledge and began attacking. Aang sent a tornado toward him as you and Katara form a wave and send it his way after turning it into icicles. You were so angry you couldn't focus on anything the group was saying. You watched as SOkka threw his boomerang and hit the combustion man. Then you watched in shock as Combustion Man stood up and finally you saw COmbustion man blow himself up. You glanced up and saw Zuko pulling himself up by a vine, you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding back and let the feeling of relief wash over you. 

“I can’t believe i am saying this but thanks, Zuko” Aang said as Zuko approached the group. You kept your eyes trained on the ground refusing to meet his eye.

“Hey, and what about me?” Sokka said, “I did the boomerang thing”

“Listen, I know I didn’t explain myself very well yesterday.” Zuko said, his voice made your heart swell, “I’ve been through a lot in the past few years, and it’s been hard.” You looked up as he scratched the back of his neck, a habit you really liked. 

“But I’m realizing that I had to go through all those things to learn the truth,” he said, “I thought I had lost my honor and that somehow my father could return it to me” He explained.

“But I know now that no one can give you your honor,” he looked at the group, “It’s something you earn for yourself by choosing to do what’s right. All I want now is to play my part in ending this war”

Zuko cast his eyes at the floor, “And I know my destiny is to help you restore balance to the world. I am sorry for what I did to you, Toph, It was an accident. Fire can be dangerous and wild. So as a firebender, I need to be more careful and control my bending so I don't hurt people unintentionally.”

“(Y/N)” Zuko said, “I am so sorry I lied to you. I wish I could go back and do it differently. I am sorry I hurt you.” You couldn't bring yourself to look up from your feet but you could feel his eyes burning into you. 

“I think you are supposed to be my firebending teacher.” Aang said, “When I first tried to learn firebending, I burned Katara.” Aang explained for a while long but you had zoned out, you were pulled out of your thoughts.

“(Y/N),” Aang said.

“Sorry, I wasn't listening,”

“Zuko lied to you, are you okay with him joining the group?” You heard the question and took a deep breath. You could Zuko starting to sweat. You could hear your heartbeat in your ears.

“Yeah, sure, whatever” you stuttered out before turning on your heels and walking wherever your feet lead you. 

You ended up in your room before you heard Sokka outside your room, “Here you go, Home sweet home. I guess, You know, for now.” Sokka said, adding, “Unpack.. Lunch soon.”

You skipped lunch. Katara had brought some to your room when she realized that you weren't going to show up. You practiced waterbending all afternoon and when dinner rolled around you thought it might be best to stay in your room again. This time Sokka brought you your dinner.

“It's a bit awkward, isn't it?” Sokka asked you.

“I guess,” you said, “I don't know if Zuko is the person i met in Ba Sing Se, or the person who was hunting you guys for months, or just a different person entirely”

“I don't know either,” He said before leaving the room.

You sat the food on a table before climbing in your bed and trying to fall asleep. You looked at the ceiling for what felt like hours before you finally managed to fall asleep.

You woke up sitting straight up in your bed, a scream escaping your lips. You brought your knees to your chest letting the sobs rip through your body. You heard your door open and figured it was aang or katara, since they were normally the people who slept the lightest.

“(Y/N), are you alright?” you felt the bed sink as you recognized the voice, Zuko. He put his hand on yours. You almost pulled your hand away but you reveled in his touch. Zuko put his arms around you. The sobs kept falling out for a few more minutes before you finally calmed yourself.

“(Y/N), are you alright?” he asked again, looking at you wiping a tear from your cheek. You shook your head. You wanted to lie but when he looks at you like that you couldn't find it in yourself to lie to him.

“Do you want to talk about it?” you shook your head again.

“I thought you died today” You said trying to change the subject, “I thought you left me again.” 

“Is that what you dream was about?” He asked. You wanted to lie and say it wasn’t.

“Yes, In the dream you were lying to us. You were here to kill Aang. You were going to but katara she used waterbending and pushed you off the cliff. I tried to stop her but I couldn't move. It was like I was frozen.  Just like earlier when you feel off but...but,” You cleared your throat, “But you didn't come back. I had lost you. I can't lose you. I care for you too much.

“Oh,” he said quietly, “I’m sorry.” his arms wrap around you tighter pulling you into a hug. You let the smell of smoke and jasmine tea fill your lungs, calming you to your very soul. You could feel his warmth. You put your legs on either side of him sitting on his lap. Your head resting on his shoulder. 

“Promise you wont leave me” you said quietly, pulling out of his embrace, “Please, don't leave me” saying those words made you feel weaker than you have ever felt. You couldn't bring yourself to look at him.

He grabbed your chin, lifting you face until your eyes met his amber ones, “I won’t leave you, I will do everything in my power to make sure I never have to leave your side ever again okay?” you nodded, a shiver running down your spine. He grabbed your waist lifting you and setting you on the bed as he got up and you thought he was about to leave but instead he walked over to the fireplace and lit a fire before returning to your side.

“I should head back and let you get some sleep,” He said, putting a hand on your shoulder.

“Stay, please,” you said, grabbing Zuko’s hand that was on your shoulder. You moved to the side before patting the bed next to you.

“Fine, but just until you fall asleep okay?” he said getting on the bed.

“Okay,” you said, laying your head on the pillow facing toward Zuko as he lays looking at you as well. You were soon fast asleep. The next morning you woke up on a very warm pillow but it was also hard. You realized that the “Pillow” had a heartbeat. Soon you connected the dots, you were using Zuko as a pillow. A blush crept on your face. You tried to lift yourself off of him and out of the bed without him noticing.

“(Y/N), Good morning” He said in a gruff voice, “I hope you slept well” he sat up in the bed and scratched the back of his neck. You were about to say some sarcastic comment but were interrupted by the door opening.

“Hey, (Y/N) have you seen Zuko,” Sokka asked before glancing at the man sitting on your bed, “Oh, I guess you guys figured it out” Sokka said before sending a wink in your direction and walking out of the room. Leaving you and Zuko with a blush on your cheeks.

This is my brand new Avatar smau. Its a ZukoXF.!Reader pairing. Title: From Then On. . .

Trigger warning: Slight swear warning! Mentions of sex! If you're sensitive to these kinds of things, read at your own risk!

As a bridesmaid, Y/n meets one of the groomsmen (Zuko) at her sister's pre-wedding dinner and hit it off so well, he asks her out. Y/n's sister warns her not to get too close. She decides to follow her advice, but keeping him at arm's length proves more difficult than she expects.

Special Edition Part 5

Part 6 Coming Soon. . .

I am so sorry I haven't updated in awhile guys. I have been extremely busy. And I've also been going through some stuff. Please don't hold anything against me. I will try to update the next part as soon as possible I promise😔

Y/n's P.O.V.

I smiled as I looked at my beautiful sister standing there in her pastel blue wedding dress with butterflies placed accordingly.

I couldn’t believe my big sister was getting married today. It seems like only yesterday we were playing in the small pond in the backyard of our home. Me, her and Daisy. The three sisters to last a life time. Even though she said nothing would tear us apart, its still gonna be hard to see her get married. Its always been her dream. Its always been a dream of mine to, but I’m not so sure I see it happening for me. I straightened out the bottom part of her dress as tears came to my eyes.

“Aviary, you’re so beautiful,” I spoke to her through the tears that wanted to escape.

She smiled, “Thank you –“

She turned to look at me.

“Oh, sweetie, please no tears, -“

She wiped the corner of my eyes.

“I’m about ready to burst and I haven’t even walked to the altar yet,” she said to me in a soft voice.

“I know – I know – I’m sorry, - I just can’t believe you’re getting married. My big sister is starting a life and family of her own,” I told her.

“Well, Sokka and I haven’t started our own family yet, but we’re getting there,” she spoke.

“Its still exciting, - And I can’t wait to officially call you my sister,” Katara said to her giving her a soft hug.

Aviary hugged her back with a smile.

“Awe, thanks Kat,”

“Uh, guys, wow, -“

We looked to the door to see our father standing there.

“You look beautiful darling,” Dad said to Aviary with a hint of tears hidden behind his eyes.

Another smile crossed her ad she looked at him.

“Thanks, Dad,” was all she could say.

Dad cleared his throat.

“Well, everyone’s waiting, - Its time darling,” he said to her.

All she did was nod. A soft smile stayed to my lips as I gave Destiny her bouquet of flowers. Daisy, Katara, Toph and I walked from the room together getting ready to walk down the isle with the grooms men. Which was a little nerve wrecking for me. Seeing as Zuko was the one I was walking down the aisle with. I told Aviary I would try to stay away from dating him, but that’s easier said than done. There’s something so mysterious about him. I just can’t seem to want to stay away.

. . .

During the entire wedding ceremony, Zuko couldn’t keep his eyes off of me. It made me a bit nervous. I was trying to focus my thoughts on Aviary and Sokka getting married, but Zuko was making it impossible. He just kept looking at me, smiling. I swear I caught him wink at me once. To be honest I felt a little awkward. I hope no one noticed. I was over by the desert table, admiring the work Daisy and Suki did on the wedding cake.

“Hey Y/n,”

I jumped hearing Zuko's voice beside me. I couldn’t stop the smile that formed as I looked at him.

“Hey, - Zuko, - I was just admiring the cake my sister and Suki made for Sokka and Aviary,” I said to him a tiny bit nervous.

I cleared my throat looking away from him.

“Y/n Y/l/n, you’re not nervous are you?” he asked as if he caught on.

“Pfft, - No of course not, just – Admiring this cake,”

Zuko chuckled, “Its okay to be nervous – I like you to,”

I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was smile.

“Okay, if we could have everyone’s attention, its time for the first dance of the evening, between my beautiful daughter –“

Dad was starting to tear up. I glanced over at Aviary, who was slightly embarrassed of Dad's reaction.

“And my new son Sokka,” Dad spoke starting a song for them to dance to.

Zuko and I stood there and watched as they started to dance. I waited nervously for the others to start dancing, because I knew Zuko was going to ask me. I tried occupying myself with something else while I waited, but I couldn’t seem to keep my focus on anything else. My stomach dropped as I watched Zuko stand in front of me. He held his hand out to me.

“Well, beautiful, ready to cash in that dance you owe me?” Zuko asked me cleverly.

I nodded to him as I took his hand. He smiled as he led me to the dance floor. He held me in such a gentle caring manner. I can’t see him being the man Aviary described. He seems to me to be such a caring gentlemen who would never hurt anybody. I think it was stupid of his ex-girlfriend to let him go so easily. Well, I won’t make the same mistake. She’s lost out.

Anonymous P.O.V.

I stood there watching as Zuko danced with my girl. He can’t take her from me. I won’t let him. Y/n is mine! And that’s the way its going to stay.

“What are we gonna do Mai? She took your guy and he took my girl!” I spoke to her in a quite upset tone.

“Patience – We’ll have them right where we want them soon enough,” Mai said back to me quietly.

All I did was grunt as I looked back at Y/n.

screaming match - zuko x reader

a/n

hi all

happy new years! i hope you all had a wonderful holidays and to start off the new year i thought a zuko fic would only be right! please send in requests i do still write them and would love to hear some suggestions of what work you guys would like to see from me this year. now enjoy the fic!

- smells x

yelling was something that zuko had grown up quite acustomed to especially, the dulcet tones of his father expressing his concerns for zuko and his honour as a child.

even acknowledging his own bad habit of perhaps letting off steam once or twice perhaps at the wrong time at the wrong person.

he didn’t however expect to hear it this morning as he discussed with aang and sokka some new plans for the outskirted villages

“i think looking into having some more funding for out lying villages is an excellent idea zuko” aang smiled proud at how far his friend had come since first becoming fire lord

“it’s really is buddy” sokka exclaimed clapping zuko on the shoulder causing the fire lord to wobble at bit at the sudden contact

“okay good i’m glad you two are behind it makes telling the council a whole less nerve wracking if you have the avatar on your side” the thought of presenting to the council making zuko feel more ill by the second

“honestly i would be scared presenting to that bunch no emotion what so ever i remember once-e” aang being cut off by suki and toph bursting through the door

“okay i said you could come in at anytime but i think their is still time to knock” zuko rolled his eyes at the girls and their quick pasted antics

“quickly you need to come now, y/n is having a shouting match with council man wu” toph smirked seeing all of the boys faces drop into shock

the group ran down the hallway to the court yard a group of maids and council members lingered but everyone’s jaw dropped once they saw the scene in front of them

y/n’s cheeks were flushed with anger, brows furrowed and hands usually gracefully placed by the girls side where balled in fists at her side

as zuko stood jaw slacked at the sight in front of him he quickly perked up once he heard toph speaking to one of the maids

“psst lilia, what did we miss?” toph whispered to the young maid by her side

“council man wu is being as difficult as usual making some rude comments about the fire lord and well lady y/n just-” the young girl was then interrupted by the cranky council mans voice beginning to rise even higher

“you are a young woman and wouldn’t know the first thing about how a country should be run, fire lord ozai will always be the superior ruler therefore i do not intend to agree with any of lord zuko’s proclaimations” the old man sneered a sly smirk appearing on his face

the courtyard appeared shocked at the response councilman wu had been know for his rude responses but none ever like this

zuko studied y/n’s face wondering what she would say next his heart begging to flutter nervously

“now beg my pardon council man but you however are nothing but an old crone! if you think for one second that fire lord zuko is nothing short of compassionate

and his proclamations show the care he has for the people of the fire nation unlike you who seems to be completely self centered! now if you will excuse me i have far better things to do than to stand here with someone who is nothing but a nasty old man, good day!” y/n finished and walked off to the front of the palace

everyone stood there gobsmacked until toph began to laugh until everyone started to chuckle, zuko however chased after y/n running down the palace steps

“y/n,y/n wait” zuko yelled out the girl hastily turning her head around smiling sheepishly

he stood face towards hers smiling as y/n began to ramble out apologies

“zuko im so sorry i don’t know what came over me it’s just that he was completely infuriating speaking of you like that it was just i don’t but hmpft” zuko grabbed y/n’s waist dipping her down

his lips smashing against hers slowly letting of the love he could muster transfer through their lips, tingles were sent through y/n’s body her lips felt on fire as she wrapped her arms around the fire lords neck

the couple broke apart heads resting against each other breathe blowing hard on each other’s hot red cheeks

“no one has ever stood up for me like that before, thank you y/n” the fire lord smiled chuckling at the girls evident blush

“well i have never yelled at anyone like that before but for you i might just do it again” the girl smiled before swiftly kissing zuko again before being interrupted by sokka’s booming voice

“hey y/n are you sure you aren’t a fire bender cause you ROASTED HIS ASS”.

[p0ssywhippedcream]

Hey girl, how are you doing?? How’s your day?? I was wondering if you could do Zuko x waterbender reader? She’s also apart of the Gaang and one of the first ones to really accept him, and they end up dating. Could you do like right before her officially becoming fire lady and them being just nostalgic, happy, and cute about how far they’ve come and them like hyping(?) eachother up (idk if I worded that right 😭😭)

Thank you sooo muchhh<333 hope it’s not too much, remember to take it easy too!!

“Okay, okay!” You laugh, throwing a leg over your boyfriend as you admire him. “But what about that time you tried to warm up Appa and set him on fire!”

Zuko gasps loudly, head shooting up from his pillow as he smacks a hand over his mouth in mock shock, “That, for your information, was an accident!” He poked your thigh as you ran your toes up his leg and you giggled.

“Katara sure didn’t think so, I’m pretty sure she was ready to send you back to the fire nation.” He rolls his eyes, head thudding back and making the whole bed jump.

“It’s hardly the worst I’ve done.”

“Mmm..” You agree, “Like the time you stepped on Momo’s tail and woke up the whole camp because he wouldn’t stop screeching?”

“You’re just being mean now,” Zuko says but his smile betrays him, “Almost like when you pushed me off a cliff to see if my firebending could make me fly.”

“You’re making me sound like a murderer! There was a lake underneath and I caught you!”

“Yeah, after you pushed me off a cliff.” You tug the blankets up the conceal your laughter at his dramatics.

“It was funny!” You shrug as you chortle and Zuko narrows his eyes, “You scream like a little girl.”

Obviously he’s done arguing over the incident because his fingers are suddenly attacking your sides and sending you into bunches of giggles as he tickles you. When you finally master fish-flopping away far enough his skillful hands can’t reach you, you kick his tummy (mainly gently) with both feet and he folds in the middle.

“You’re so cruel..” He wheezes out with added coughs and groans for effect but you know his six pack wasn’t harmed a bit.

“Aw,” You pout with big eyes, “Want me to kiss it better?”

As you lower yourself and lift his shirt, peppering his tummy with smooches, Zuko huffs a laugh, “And to think, I used to think you were the kindest person because you forgave me first.”

You give him a mischievous look, “Yeah, cause I wanted to make out with you.”

His cheeks turn red and you take pride that you can still fluster him after so long. “You’re ridiculous.”

“Actually, I’m Y/n, and you love me soooooo much.” You leave one last kiss on his belly with a loud exaggerated noise before crawling back up.

“Yeah, I guess,” He teases, capturing your mouth in a kiss of his own, “When you aren’t pushing me off cliffs.”

“It was one time!!” He just laughs at you.

[p0ssywhippedcream]

Hey girlll, it’s me again (at this point file a restraining order LMFAO😭) I quite literally had this idea right now- Zuko, Katara, and Reader (if you need to choose then waterbender?), are fighting Azula together, and reader takes the hit of lightning form Azula instea of Zuko to protect him (they have like A HUGE mutual pining too rn lol).

Later when they won and are at the palace, he visits her and says he wants to talk, and he says he was super scared and wouldn’t know how to live without her and confesses, and she says yes and says similar stuff and like they start dating.

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR YOUR WRITINGGGG- TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED, JET LAG SUCKS DUDE, I SLEPT FOR LITERALLY 20 HOURS STRAIGHT ONE TIME LMAO. LOVE YOU GIRLLLL<333

"I'm okay, I swear!" You put your hand over his and it flexes on the bed, "I just need to rest, most of it was deflected by my water bending."

Zuko's thumb crawls out from underneath your palm and gently rubs the top of your hand, "But not all. You- you got hit by lightning, Y/n. You could have died."

You grunt as you shift on the bed, the bandages around your stomach preventing a fully comfortable position. "Yes, but I didn't. You don't have to worry, Zu, I'm not going anywhere."

And something about the way the light from the candle beside your bed catches your expression, casting such beautiful shadows on your reassuring smile, compels a heart-wrenching feeling inside Zuko. He needs you to know, in case he doesn't get a chance to say it again and because his overwhelming gratitude for your kindness towards him needs him to repay your pain with something almost as difficult to do.

"Y/n," He starts and despite the nerves, keeps his fiery gaze locked onto yours, "I- I can't lose you. I wouldn't know what to do."

You're a little taken aback, a rosy blush dancing with the firelight across your cheeks but you remain with that comforting smile of yours, "You'd keep being the good person you are, keep loving."

"I don't know if I could," He confesses with a small shiver down his spine knowing all he can tell you is the truth, "I don't think I can be a person at all without you. I can't live without you."

Your eyes widen, easy grin flattering and Zuko knows that rejection is coming, braces for it like he's in the presence of his father again until your soft hand is pulling his face closer and you're kissing him. You're kissing him slow and gentle, like leaves in a summer breeze but its your lips and it drives him crazy all the same. He presses a little more, molding his mouth against yours when a rushed exhale leaves your nose and he remembers your wound.

He pulls out of your reach, clutching the hand that drew him in as he checks your tummy and makes sure you're alright.

"Zuko," It comes out breathless and accompanied by a laugh, "I'd be more alright if you kiss me again."

So he does. A couple more times actually. And when you ask him to lay next to you in the bed as you sleep, no matter how red the idea makes him, he blows out the candle and tucks you in anyway. He watches your eyelashes flutter as little snores leave the lips that left him speechless and knows that he gets to watch you breathe in and breathe out, everyday for the rest of his life.

He wants to kiss your forehead but you're a light sleeper from your time with the Gaang so instead, he opts to kiss you tomorrow. And the tomorrow after that, and the one after that too. And he gets to kiss you and hold you and watch you breathe for the rest of his life, knowing how deep the love of yours goes as he traces a lighting bolt into the sheet beneath him.

[p0ssywhippedcream]

The comfort he provides is green.

It touches your soul like the smell of pine in early morning, it warms you like a campfire in a lonely forest, it fills you easily like a pond aided with a gentle waterfall.

He knows when you’re upset, when your eyebrows kiss and your lips purse and your fingers clench. He knows even when it’s not obvious. He’ll nudge your shoulder with a question in his eyes and you just know, he knows.

His care is green like home, green like returning to a time long gone, like knowing someone is worth loving by the smile lines that grace their face. He runs his hands through your hair like they’ve never been used for violence, his lips caress yours like they’ve never betrayed and berated.

Your knees are pulled up to your chest and his are dropped enough that you can lean yourself against his torso with your scrunched legs held up by his. You’re not in his lap necessarily, your butt is planted firmly on the ground you fidget with but the rest of you is engulfed in him.

His fingers massage your scalp, blunt nails scratching against the skin as you sit in silence, his eyes watching the distance in yours shrink.

And suddenly you’re back to yourself, back from those other colors and those other things that make you hate yourself and it’s all green again. And he smells like sweat and earth and man and home. His hand never leaves your head, his heart beats a little louder underneath your ear.

You’ve returned from your travels with heavy baggage and a hunger that eats away at your soul. You’ve collapsed at the fire and warmed your palms, pulled cold, soggy feet out of ruined boots and begun the process of being more than a human but a person again. Lately all you’ve had time to fight for is your life, but not your happiness. And you don’t want to fight anymore, you just want to come to where contentment is without a dragon to slay or a moral to learn.

He offers that with a kiss on your forehead. The wrinkles dance as you look up at him through your lashes and just his faint smile can be seen.

He’s warm, you used to wonder if he was cold-blooded before you really knew him. He didn’t laugh enough, he didn’t like to let loose and just be. But you know the blood that pumps through his veins is hot from the way it rushes to his cheeks when you tell him you love him, even now, when you know every ember and every stick that’s graced his fire.

The fire that thaws your numb toes, that brings awareness back to tired eyes and that whispers his presence with callouses in greasy hair.

And with only I love yous and you’re okays in the air, you unpack all the things you’ve dragged through your journey and toss them into the blaze. You turn your head enough to meet his gaze and the flame inside his eyes burns sunrise but loves you in flowers.

It reminds you of the ashes everything becomes someday, the ashes your worries and insecurities burn to as they gravitate toward the fire. Someday, you and him will be the same. Maybe someday he’ll burn too hot or you’ll lose yourself in the woods or the only firewood you can add to his passion is from his fathers forest; the forest he’d spent so long running from.

Until then, you’ll resolve to kissing him and tasting tea and trust and letting the comfort of the familiar hue surround you, casting you both in a hazy sage light as the world around burns.
