Also I just think is so ironic that the Earth kingdom is canonically the most homophobic (based on what Kya says in the Korra comics) yet it’s the earth bending women who pull all the queer women in the fandom?!?!?!

Bro you’re deadass just gatekeeping the most attractive earthbenders 😭

Holding a glass container down in a babbling fresh water stream, you waited until it was filled to the brim before pulling it out. Subtle droplets of sweat dripped down along the sides of your face. The sun was hot. You pulled the container back and found yourself satisfied with the amount of water you collected for you and the group.

Standing up, you walked back towards the camp to see Aang practicing firebending with Zuko. Toph was with Sokka by the fire and Katara was gathering some edible berries from some bushes nearby the camp.

"Any luck with finding water, Y/N/N?" Sokka asked, looking over Toph's head.

"Yeah," You nodded and placed it beside Appa and Momo, where all your supplies was; sleeping bags, tents, blankets, etc.

"How's the teaching going?" You walked to stand beside Zuko as he stood watching Aang practice for a little while.

"Slowly," Zuko muttered.

"He seems to be picking it up pretty quickly though," You commented as you watched him do some fairly basic moves.

"Yes, but if Aang wants to take down my father, he has to be more than ready and basic firebending moves won't let him win," Zuko explained. You nodded and pressed your lips together softly.

"Well finish this up, we're gonna be eating in a little while," You replied and crossed your arms over your chest before walking away towards the fire.

.

While you and the group ate some dinner — a mixture of berries, some nuts and fish — you talked and laughed about memories you all had from your childhood. It was late nights such as these that made you extraordinarily happy to be apart of such an amazing group of people.

The night was brisk, but the fire was keeping you all warm. You sat next to Katara against a log, across from Zuko and Sokka. Toph and Aang sat beside each other on another piece of wood.

Once you were all done eating, you stood up from your seat and brushed off your pants. "I'm gonna go clean up before bed, I'll be right back," You stated to them as you walked off towards a nearby river. There you would cleanse your hair and the rest of your body before you'd sleep for the night.

Fireflies were illuminating the night beautifully as you walked through the forest towards the river. As soon as you made it there, you were just about to begin removing your clothing, but a snap from a twig behind you caused you to turn your head.

Despite the darkness, you saw Zuko standing there slightly awkward.

"Oh.. Zuko, it's just you," You breathed out softly, worried that it might've been a stranger or worse, an enemy. "Are you okay?" You asked.

"Uhm.. yeah," He nodded and scratched the back of his neck. "I was just.. wondering.. uhm, what you were doing?"

"I told you guys I was going to clean up before bed," You stated.

"Right, right.." Zuko nodded, seemingly nervous. "Y/N, I think you should know something," He started. Your eyes opened wider as a way to tell him to continue. There was stillness for a while, but you said nothing and waited for Zuko to compose himself. "I think we make a great team, ever since I've joined the group I feel like we've been able to make each other stronger.. and I just wanted you to know that," He whispered the last part as you smiled softly.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Zuko," You replied. "You've brought a sense of relief to this group and I couldn't thank you enough for helping us so much."

"Yeah.." He nodded slowly and locked his gaze with the dirt. "What I mean is.. you and me," He added bashfully.

"What?" You whispered softly as he lifted his gaze up to stare at you.

"I like you," He admitted and it sounded as if he was holding his breath that whole time. "No, I don't like you.. I love you," He said it fast, almost casual and soft.

"No.." You shook your head, whispering.

"Yes," Zuko nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Zuko.." You started, but he interrupted.

"Y/N, I've loved you since the minute I met you. I've tried a million times to tell you, but it's been so hard and I just thought that the best moment was right now because it seemed so perfect and right. Now, I know.. I'm not this wonderful great person and I'm not particularly good enough for you, but you have made me really happy. The best I've felt in years," Zuko breathed as hot tears began to stream down his cheeks. You parted your lips as tears began to brim in your eyes.

"No, Zuko, you are a wonderful person," You stepped closer to him, gently gripping his biceps as he looked at you with crying eyes. "I'm so grateful to you, Zuko. You have no idea what you've done for me and everyone else, you have brought so much peace with you since you've came. And I care about you so much, but I don't know if I can love you the way you want me to, so I don't want to tell you that I do if I don't feel it."

"You don't?" Zuko looked at you, standing still.

"No," You shook your head softly, "It would be a disaster if you and I courted."

"No, it wouldn't be a disaster," Zuko shook his head.

"Yes, it would, Zuko," You shakily stated. "We'd be miserable."

"Why are you saying this?" He asked, leaning in closer as you backed your head away to look at him directly.

"Because I've tried this sort of thing before, Zuko. I've tried and it has failed and I have been so terribly hurt," You admitted as tears burned the softness of your cheeks.

"Are you afraid I will hurt you?" Zuko questioned, softly as more tears continued to stream down his face.

"Not you," You shook your head. "I just can't put myself into a situation like that, not with so much going on right now anyway."

Zuko released a soft breath and stared at you as you brought your hands back down to your sides, "You don't love me?"

"No," You shook your head.

There was silence for a while. The only noise came from the crackling fire from the camp and the babbling river beside you.

"Zuko, I don't believe that I'll ever fall in love or be with anyone," You admitted. "I value my liberty too much to give it all up."

Zuko's eyes were bloodshot as the fast few tears continued rolling down his cheeks. "Is that all?" He asked, his voice cracking.

You nodded softly, while a few more tears escaped your eyes, as well. Zuko turned on his heels and walked away, leaving you to stand there, with your head falling to eye the ground as more tears burned through your closed lids.

My friend is gearing up to run an Avatar themed role playing group. So I've made myself a little illustration for my character. I might tweak things a little bit down the line, but I'm pretty happy with him.
