Summary: Taking Zuko and Iroh in when they’re made fugitives

Part 2

——————————————————————————————————

It wasn’t everyday that you came across two strangers in the woods while on your daily walk, but today wasn’t just a normal day. Apparently, you were just in the right place at the right time.

“What are you two doing out here?” you called, ducking out from behind a tree with a big grin on your face.

Your father had always said you were too friendly, but in times like this, being friendly was the only thing that you had. After all, it wasn’t like your father was around anyway.

Strangers were just friends you’d yet to meet, and you had to believe that, now more than ever.

“What? Nothing. We’re no one, we’re not doing anything” the younger of the two rambled, looking as if he’d seen some kind of monster at your arrival.

You had startled him, but you didn’t care.

“I didn’t accuse you of anything. I just asked you a question” you assured, holding your hands up in defense. You didn’t do anything wrong, at least as far as you were concerned.

Luckily, before he could panic that much more, the older gentleman smiled. “We’re travelers, just passing through” he informed, doing his best to let you know you hadn’t offended them.

After all, they didn’t have much room to be rude to anyone while running from certain death or imprisonment. Zuko had yet to learn that, apparently.

“I see. Well, you seem like nice people. How about I make you some hot dinner and get you out of this heat for a while?” you offered, not wanting to leave them in the woods like this.

As best you could tell, they were probably refugees running from the fire nation and you didn’t want to leave them here alone.

“No, we’re fine” the first spoke again, refusing you in a way that you couldn't say surprised you. You had only been talking to him for a few moments but you already could tell he wasn’t super friendly.

Not that you could blame him.

People were always rather guarded, especially in this war torn world. At his age, he had probably been raised with that distrust, just like you had.

“Are you sure? I have all sorts of tea and as much roast duck as you could ever want” you hummed, dangling the offer of a warm dinner in front of them like bait.

You had to do something to get them out of here and something told you that they hadn’t had a hot meal in quite some time.

“That sounds excellent, thank you” Again, the older of them smiled.

“Wonderful. Now, what are your names?”

“That is quite the scar? What happened?” you wondered, turning your attention to Lee. Maybe it wasn’t the sort of thing you should have asked right away, but you couldn’t help yourself.

It was just something you had to ask, before the not knowing drove you crazy.

“None of your business”

Feeding them had done nothing to ease the strain that Lee felt within himself, obviously. He had something going on, something that you just couldn’t ignore.

“That’s fair I guess, but could you please tell me something? What are you running from?” you wondered, knowing it could be a number of things.

Personally, you were running from the very obvious murder and imprisonment that had faced your people at the hands of the fire nation...but something told you it wasn’t so simple with these two.

There were a thousand stories behind their eyes.

You just wished they would share something about themselves with you.

“It isn’t what we’re running from, so much as what we’re going toward, young one” Mushi started, joining you now with a big bowl of duck and that same grin you’d grown to enjoy.

That was one way to look at it.

“I’m sure it’ll be much better where you’re headed, away from the fire nation I’d hope” you shrugged, wishing you were at a luxury to do the same.

Unfortunately though, you were likely never going to get out of this town. Not that there was anywhere to go that you would actually be safe.

“There is nowhere away from the fire nation” Lee bellowed now, shocking you with his sudden outburst. He hadn’t said more than a few words here and there for the past few hours, but he was being rather vocal now.

It was kind of refreshing.

...And depressing.

“I don’t think that’s true. There was a time before the war, and there will be a time after” you decided, reaching out to take Mushi’s hand casually.

“You believe that, don’t you?” you asked him, knowing that if anyone was going to have your back on this, it was him. Lee wasn’t all that enthusiastic about anything, so he probably thought the world was doomed.

All he did was nod.

It had been quite some time since Iroh had seen a young person with so much optimism within them and it warmed his heart to see it. You had such a refreshing way of thinking.

If only Zuko could learn something from you.

“Now, where are you two headed when the sun comes up?” you wondered, knowing that everyone was headed somewhere. If there was one thing you’d learned from living in such a travel port, it was that everyone was always coming or going.

You were the only thing that ever seemed to stay the same.

“No idea. What about you? Any travel plans?” Mushi asked, making small talk to fill in the space. Small talk that would continue until much later in that evening when the older man turned in for the night.

You enjoyed the time that you’d spent with him, but now that it was just you and Lee, you found yourself glad for the privacy.

Maybe now you could understand why he was the way he was.

“It never used to be this quiet” you started, sitting down beside him on the porch. He had excused himself during dinner to be alone, but now that there was no one else to occupy your attention, it was his turn.

Lee said nothing in regards to you, but you didn’t let it bother you. If he didn’t want to talk to you, you weren’t going to make him.

...But, nothing stopped you from talking.

“Until recently, this was a fire nation base. I grew up surrounded by soldiers, and you know something?” you hummed, your voice casual, though Zuko should have known there was more beneath it.

You wore your emotions on your sleeve, and even Zuko could pick up on the way you were feeling. There was something serious coming, but he wasn’t sure what it was.

Luckily, he didn’t have to wait long.

“What?”

Zuko decided to speak finally, shocking you that he would address you directly. Not that you let it distract you too much from what you’d noticed in the time since you’d picked them up.

“You carry yourself like a firebender”

// Simmering Feelings (Zuko x Chubby Reader) //

✨ Request from Tumblr ✨

Type: Fluff

~~~~~~~~~

It ate at him, that when he first saw her he didn't understand why he felt something aside from anger. Their first encounter was him angrily screaming and fighting them trying to capture the avatar but when the time came down to it that they had a one on one he held back, he used more hand to hand combat than fire bending. Deep beneath his anger he didn't want to seriously hurt her.

"Hey wait, I haven't seen you around before." He questioned her not knowing he'd be this star struck.

"Does it matter? Come on, come on and fight me!"

She wasn't a bender and he knew that, but she was still a fighter. Her soft body led people to believe she was helpless and so she used that to her advantage. When it came down to it she had them defeated in a matter of seconds. She intrigued him, apart of him hoping to see her everytime he encountered them when he was tracking the avatar. Uncle Iroh teasing him about it making him red in the face each time.

When Zuko finally found his way and started to find his true destiny he became close to the girl. He followed her around, In his eyes he was watching over and protecting her. In (Y/n) eyes he followed her around like a cute puppy. The questions he had about her like her likes and dislikes and other things he wanted to know were answered over time by spending time with her. All except one, how she really felt about him. He really wanted to know and now that was the thing eating at him.

He really wanted to know. He also wanted to hold her pillowy form in his arms and tell her his feelings but the fear of rejection and ruining the friendship was too great. Her feelings were not so surprisingly the same. She'd day dreamed where he would confess feelings for her and kiss her plump lips right on the spot but she would push away the thoughts thinking she was being silly. Eveyone in the Gang seeing and hearing their true feelings toward one another except themselves.

Toph over hears (Y/n) talking with Katara about how she feels about him then on the other side Zuko and Sokka talk about how he feels about the girl and could never let her find out because he doesn't want to risk losing her. "They're more blind than I am!" She huffs yelling. Confusing the both of them as they're pulled out from the conversation.

They finally found out when Sokka couldn't take it anymore and told them clear as day. Making every at the camp fire speechless.

"Oh my gosh." He groans "it's so good to finally let that out. If I had to see you guys sulk one more time I was gonna jump off of Appa.

"Sokka!" Katara scolds him, hitting his arm.

"But he his right." Toph adds

"Well I think it's great, they deserve to know eachothers feelings." Aang smiles but then looks at Sokka meekly "But I also think they should've told eachother themselves."

"In my defense, they weren't going too." Sokka says crossing his arms.

"Well then." Zuko blushes rubbing the back of his neck trying to get the words out. "Would you allow me to take you out on a date, (Y/n)?"

"Y-Yeah sure, Zuko I'd love that." the butterflies in her stomach go crazy as they make eye contact.

"Now we're getting somewhere!" Sokka cheers.

He takes her to the nearest town and they walk though the little festival that is going on there, enjoying the festive event and music. She buys them both some sweets from a delicious smelling stall and insist that she wants to pay for it. After snacking away he notices a crumb, wiping it away from her chubby cheek with his thumb and a blush spreads across her face making her freeze. His bashful expression is apparent when he realizes what he just did, (Y/n) places her hand over it when he looks away. As they continue they play the little games there and she even forces him to dance, he obliges when his hands land on her soft waist.

At the end of the night he sees a charm that he thinks is pretty reminding him of her, he uses all of whatever little money he had to buy it. The look on her face is worth it and she rewards him by cupping his face and giving him a gentle kiss on the lips. He malfunctions, the feeling of her plump lips make him lose his breath. He thinks back to first meeting her and now here he is in this moment feeling her soft lips pressed againts his. The both of them started out as enemies, now they're holding one another close enough to let anyone know that they belong to eachother.

Aphrodite Kallipygos (Zuko x Plus Size Reader) [Modern AU]

Summary: Zuko takes up an art class as part of his therapy and ends up falling in love with a woman who’s a work of art in her own right.

Word Count: 3,500

Disclaimer: There’s a scene in this fic where a couple of thin girls engage in some rude behavior and are criticized in a few none-too-kind words. I want to make it very clear that this scene does not reflect my views of thin people or body positivity - these characters are meant to be a metaphor for greater culture and its strict, unrealistic views of what women should look like.

Author’s Note: I hate rom coms but after writing this fic it dawned on me that I would be excellent at writing them. Also, this one goes out to all my art hoes out there. I geek out pretty hard about art history in this one.

Speaking of which, I reference real-world cultures within the structure of the Avatar universe in this one as well. Something I like to do when I zone out is think about which actual countries would belong to which bending nations; my heritage is primarily from the British Isles, and what with liths like Stonehenge and the hella castles hanging around out there, I think we’d be earth benders - same with cultures like the ancient Egyptians and the Pueblos. I also love the idea of Pacific Islanders who can bend both water and lava, and Incan air benders, and I really wish the idea of global cultures as benders were explored more in the Avatar universe.

Have I mentioned that I’m a massive fucking nerd?

~ Muerta

Zuko never considered himself much of a creative. When he thought about it, he realized that that part of his life had never really been explored; his father always pushed him to focus solely on his bending and combat skills, never allowing even the consideration of other practices or hobbies. As much as Zuko was passionate about the martial arts he'd mastered, he also came to learn that he never had a choice in being passionate about anything else.

“I think you should take an art class,” his therapist suggested. “It would be a good outlet for you, and one that isn't directly influenced by your family.”

“I don't think I've ever drawn anything, though,” Zuko admitted. “I wouldn't be any good.”

“It's not about being good,” his therapist explained, “it's about exploring things that weren't available to you in your youth, freedom of expression. Consider it - there's a shop in this neighborhood that offers classes.”

She handed him a business card adorned with an array of different art styles, from delicate watercolors to bright, bold cartoons; it read, “classes for everything” in a cheerful, clearface font.

Zuko shrugged and pocketed the card. A week later, he was enrolled in a basic studio art course.

He arrived for his first class embarrassingly early, passing under the bell of the shop’s front door twenty minutes before it was scheduled to begin.

The building that housed the shop looked to be older than the rest of the neighborhood around it; the storefront was tiny, with crowded shelves lining each wall and tables and racks wound throughout the center of the space, creating a maze that led to the checkout counter. The room’s ceilings were high, supported by beams in a dark stained wood that matched the floor below. Paper mache sculptures and handmade lanterns hung from the rafters, and the simple, antique plaster walls were decorated with paintings and sketches, likely given by the shop’s clientele. From somewhere in the back, a radio sang folk music, accompanied by the hum of an electric fan.

Zuko wandered through the labyrinthine merchandise displays until he reached the register, where he was met with the single most beautiful sight he may have ever laid eyes on.

You stood behind the counter, leaned over a textbook with a pencil in hand, tapping it back and forth over the pages; you bit your lip in concentration, a few strands of your hair falling loose from the messy knot atop your head and over your cheeks, though you were too focused on your reading to care. An apron bearing the shop’s logo was tied around your waist, emphasizing your body's dramatic curves.

To Zuko, you were gorgeous. He couldn't place what exactly about you allured him; all he knew was that his pulse had quickened to a near dangerous pace.

You looked up at him when you noticed you were no longer alone, flashing him a kind, somewhat distracted smile. He nodded curtly, too nervous to do anything but stare.

“Can I help you?” you greeted him politely.

He cleared his throat, his voice coming out a pitch higher than normal as he spoke.

“I'm here for the art class,” he told you.

You smirked a little, peering down to check the time on your phone.

“It's a little early,” you said. “I was just about to start setting up. You could help me if you want? So you're not so bored while you wait?”

“Yeah,” Zuko mumbled, “yeah, sure.”

You grinned, waving him behind the counter and through a door to the back room. To his surprise, what he expected to be a minuscule stockroom turned out to be a space larger than the actual shop, lined on one wall with massive warehouse windows that poured late afternoon sunlight into the room. Metal shelves and boxes lay haphazardly about, mixed in with a scattering of easels, pottery spinners, canvases, and other art supplies. You directed your guest to a stack of chairs in the corner, instructing him to line them in a half circle in an empty portion of the room while you placed the easels.

“So, do you have a name?” you asked, attempting to make conversation that could drown out the repetitive radio drone.

“Zuko,” he introduced himself.

You stopped what you were doing, fixing him with an awed, slightly amused gape.

“Firelord Zuko?” you wondered.

He blushed, nodding.

“Oh spirits, I'm sorry I didn't bow!” you exclaimed, dropping into a low curtsy. The gesture was mixed with equal parts mirth and genuine respect; Zuko was unsure how to respond, his heart flickering as he watched you.

“I heard you were living somewhere in the city,” you continued after making your own introduction, setting an easel in front of each chair he positioned. “Not into the whole royalty thing?”

Zuko shrugged. He focused on his work, too nervous to look you in the eye.

“Just weird going back there,” he told you. “I don't really want taxpayer money going to making sure I live above my means.”

You leaned against the last chair he set down, smiling warmly at him.

“That's very respectable,” you responded. “Thank you. Y’know, as someone who pays taxes.”

Zuko chuckled softly as you handed him a bin of art supplies, instructing him to set one of each item at every station. He did as he was told, stealing glances at you whenever he was sure you weren’t looking.

“So, uh… do you own this place?” he asked, fumbling over his words.

“Oh, no, this is my professor’s shop,” you replied. “I just work here part time.”

“You’re a student?”

You shook your head.

“Nope. Graduated last year. I work days at the history museum downtown. I also give art history classes here, and help out with the ones Professor Cong teaches.”

“Oh.”

Zuko paused, unsure of what else to say.

“... They teach a different type of history just for art?” he asked after a moment.

You laughed, covering your mouth to muffle the sound and apologizing, giving him a little nod as you collected yourself.

“Yes. Some people even get whole degrees in it,” you giggled. “Not that it’s a useful field to learn anything about.”

Zuko shrugged, trying to shake off the embarrassment of sounding stupid in front of such a cute girl; little did he know, you found the question beyond endearing.

“It sounds important,” he contested. “I’ve been meeting historians from all over the world to correct all the propaganda from the past hundred years. It never occurred to me that I would need different historians for art.”

You smiled at him, meeting him where he stood and handing him one of the sketch pads from your bin. His cheeks pinkened, his eyes darting away from yours as he took it and mumbled a “thank you”.

“I like you, Firelord Zuko,” you decided aloud. “My classes are on Wednesdays. You can come if you want - free of charge.”

Zuko nodded, swallowing heavily as he met your gaze once again.

“Thank you,” he replied. “I appreciate it.”

You laughed a little bit, taking his now empty bin and returning both to their place on a nearby shelf. The shop’s bell rang from beyond the threshold and you went back to the front counter, telling Zuko to take a spot wherever he liked. He sat in the front row; wherever he thought he could be closest to you.

For the next five weeks, Zuko attended not only his studio art class, but your art history class, showing up early to each lesson so he could spend time alone with you. Despite the fact that you invited him to sit in, he paid the fee for the second course, not wanting you to go without the extra pay for your work - he found a doodle of a turtle duck on his seat the next time he showed up, the fuzzy little penciled duckling telling him he was a terrible listener, but thanking him anyway (with a heart scribbled in beside the words).

With your guidance, Zuko learned that there was much more to art than just vibrant colors and pretty decoration. Everything in art, it turned out, had significance, each piece and work holding insight into the people and cultures who created it; you spoke passionately about the art of the Egyptians, who used specific shapes and colors in their imagery to tell stories beyond the written word, about the mysteries of prehistoric structures that revealed how early humanity was much more sophisticated and interconnected than considered at a glance, about the symbols that translated and influenced across centuries to shape how each nation, each culture, portrayed themselves into the modern world. He found himself hanging on every word, falling even more deeply enamored with you with each moment he spent with you.

It didn’t take you long - what with the easy, pleasant conversations you shared before classes - to discover that Zuko lived relatively close to you, only two stops away on the local metro. Knowing this, you often saw each other on the days you weren't at the shop, meeting at the station between each of your respective neighborhoods and having coffee or dinner in one of its many cafes, talking about anything and everything and managing to pass several hours together in what seemed like the blink of an eye. You loved being with Zuko, finding the more you did it, the less you wanted your rendezvous to end; you thought about him all the time, getting all kinds of giddy whenever he crossed your mind.

On one of your extracurricular excursions, you and Zuko wandered around the local high street, marveling at the different streetside vendors and dreamily window shopping behind the glass of the upscale boutiques, doing little more than enjoying each other’s company. It was a hot day, and along your way, Zuko stopped at a coffee stand to get you each something cold to drink.

A pretty young woman in line in front of you eyed you up and down, her gaze flicking from between you and Zuko with disgust. She jabbed her slim, graceful elbow into her equally as flawless friend’s side, whispering something in the other woman’s ear as they both glared at you, sniggering cruelly behind flat stomachs and angular, willowy frames.

You sneered at them, making a point of hooking your arm within Zuko’s and pressing your much wider hip against his, the poison of the encounter sinking into your skin and infecting your thoughts. Zuko noticed your change in demeanor immediately, steering you away from the scene as soon as your drinks were served.

“You okay?” he asked, still holding tight to your arm.

“Fine,” you quipped, biting back tears. “Just a couple of pretty bitches proving how fucking hideous they are on the inside.”

“Wait, seriously?”

Zuko halted, pulling you to the side of the street and out of the way of traffic. He lay a hand on your shoulder, the firm, able grasp of his palm somehow making you feel even worse.

“Someone would really make fun of you?” he wondered, outraged and incredulous. “Why?”

You shook your head, smiling defeatedly as your lower lip quivered.

“People have made fun of me since I was a kid, Zu,” you told him, speaking as if he should’ve just assumed it. “I’m fat. You can’t tell me you haven’t noticed.”

“So?” Zuko replied. You were so shocked, you physically leaned away from him, raising your eyebrows. “Yeah, you’re fat. That doesn’t mean you’re not pretty. I… I think you’re really pretty. Gorgeous, even. You’re beautiful.”

You blinked at him, taken aback. He gave your shoulder a reassuring squeeze, his eyes never once leaving yours.

“... Did I break you?” he tried after a moment, sounding concerned that it was a genuine possibility.

You laughed, shaking your head in feverish disbelief, attempting to clear the confusion that fogged your battered brain.

“No, I just… Nobody’s ever called me pretty and fat before.”

Zuko shrugged.

“Both are true,” he told you. “I like your body. You look like one of those Greek sculptures. Of the goddesses.”

You stared at him, searching his eyes for any sign of dishonesty or patronization; all you found looking back at you was the clumsily genuine man you were quickly falling in love with.

“... Have I ever told you about Aphrodite Kallipygos?” you asked.

Zuko shook his head, as confused as you had been a few seconds ago.

“She’s a statue of Venus,” you explained. “She’s got her dress raised up over her backside, and when they found her originally, she didn’t have her head; the guy who restored her sculpted it so that she was looking back at herself, admiring her body. There’s even a whole folktale about a pair of brothers who fell in love with two women because they had, like, beautifully fat asses and the town built a temple dedicated to Venus and her butt. The name literally translates to ‘Aphrodite of the Beautiful Buttocks’.”

Zuko chuckled, raising the hand at your shoulder to cup your cheek.

“See?” he said. “Men have worshiped thick, juicy butts since the dawn of time!”

You laughed, your cheeks turning bright red as you buried your face in your hands, leaning forward to rest your forehead on his chest and further hide yourself.

“Zuko, oh my god,” you breathed. “Promise me you’ll never say that out loud in a public setting ever again, please. You’re the fucking Firelord for Tui’s sake.”

Zuko chuckled, wrapping an arm around your waist and hugging you tightly.

“Sorry,” he mumbled, still grinning. “Made you feel better, though.”

You pulled away from him, affectionately punching him in the shoulder. He laughed, gasping at you in mock reproach before pressing a finger into your side, shocking you with a burst of static electricity; you cackled as you jumped away, sticking your tongue out at him.

Zuko felt a rush of lightheadedness as he watched you, savoring the sound of your laugh and the radiance of your smile. It was then he realized he was in love with you.

The next studio art class focused on model drawing - more specifically, a nude model. Zuko, having been raised in what was arguably the most reserved family in the world, was nervous about the idea of having to sit in front of a stranger for an hour, not only staring at their naked body, but immortalizing it in graphite on a page.

He was mortified when he arrived at the class and found you sitting in the corner, wrapped in nothing but a silk dressing gown.

As you climbed the platform you were meant to model on, your limbs rattled. You began to question your sanity, wondering what you thought you were doing offering to pose for the class, what kind of statement you thought it would make. You faced enough judgement from others about your weight with your clothes on - what the hell did you think they would do when you stood before them completely naked, every bump and crevice on full display for them to gawk at and criticize?

You glanced to the side at Professor Cong, seeking some sort of assurance or comfort from him; he, being the seasoned professional in his mid-sixties that he was, sat reclined in a chair in his Hawaiian shirt and flip flops, scrolling totally undisturbed through Pinterest on his phone. Honestly, you expected no less - his obtuse reactions in the face of the awkward and uncomfortable were basically a superpower.

Taking a deep breath, you untied the knot holding your dressing gown together and let it fall, slipping gracefully from your shoulders and to the floor. You assumed a comfortable, classic pose, purposely facing yourself away from the man whose eyes you could feel searing into your back.

Zuko’s breath hitched as he watched you undress. Though he only saw the full of your body for a moment, he was captivated. The swell of your breasts and curve of your stomach sent him into a dizzy spell, his mouth going dry and his skin heating with a noticeable flush. The rolls of your back, the ripples and divots along your thighs and rump, the stripes etched into your skin like the veins through a granite block, he drank in every part of you, moulding every detail with a focused hand as he sketched. He made note every scar and beauty mark. Once or twice, his mind drifted towards the salacious, imagining how your body would feel beneath his, soft and supple, releasing exalted breaths and enraptured moans, your nails dragging down his back as he drove you closer and closer to infinity…

He inhaled sharply, snapping himself back to his work. You were Venus, Minerva, Diana - a goddess among men. He would gladly spend the rest of his life worshiping you.

The moment the class ended, you gathered your dressing gown and made a beeline for the employee bathroom, getting back into your clothes as quickly as you could physically manage. The experience of nude modeling wasn’t nearly as harrowing as you expected it to be; you actually found it kind of freeing, being able to show yourself to a room full of other people and come out of it unscathed, in fact feeling quite beautiful - what had you nervous was the fact that you’d have to face Zuko immediately after the fact, seeing as you took the train home together after classes. His was the only opinion you cared about, and you wanted nothing more than to convince yourself that he hadn’t judged you as harshly as the self-hatred brainwashed into you made you believe.

When you emerged from the bathroom, Professor Cong stood in front of one of the empty easels in the back, smirking at the drawing the student had left there.

“Your boyfriend left you his piece,” he teased.

You blushed, glaring at him as you approached and snatched the sketch from his hands.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” you tried in vain to defend yourself.

Professor Cong just chuckled.

“I’ll believe that when I see evidence to the contrary,” he replied.

You looked down at the paper in your hand and felt the breath drain from your lungs, your heart and stomach soaring into your throat.

Zuko had drawn you in the image of Venus, your body draped in gossamer fabric and your head turned over your shoulder, eyes cast downward and lips slightly parted in a blissful, ethereal expression. In the corner of the page, he’d written “Aphrodite Kallipygos” in his sweeping handsome script, beneath which was his signature and the date. You’d never once seen yourself look so beautiful, let alone in the eyes of someone you loved so fiercely.

You swallowed hard, rolling the drawing and securing it with a hair tie from your bag before exiting the shop through the back, knowing Zuko would be in the alley waiting for you.

“Hey,” he greeted you when you appeared through the storeroom door. “Are you okay? You looked really ner-”

You interrupted him by throwing your arms around his neck, slamming your lips into his in a desirous kiss. It took him less than a second to recover himself from the shock of the action and curl his arms around your waist, pressing his body against yours and lifting you every so slightly off the ground, kissing you just as hard as you kissed him. When you parted, you were breathless, your cheeks fiery red and your lips swollen the color of vermilion. Zuko smiled at you, one side of his mouth curling up slightly higher than the other.

“So you liked it?” he asked.

You laughed, nodding.

“Zuko, I loved it,” you gasped. “I love you. I think I loved you as soon as I met you but that sort of thing is really cliche and stupid to admit.”

Zuko chuckled, raising his hand to your cheek and kissing you again, his lips soft and tender this time around. You sighed happily into his mouth, closing your eyes and losing yourself in the feeling of his body sharing the same space as yours.

“I think I loved you the moment I met you, too,” Zuko confessed, his nose grazing against yours as he pulled away. “But you’re right. That sort of thing is really stupid and cliche.”

You giggled, tugging gently on the collar of his jacket.

“Come on,” you prompted him. “Let’s go back to my apartment. You’ve already seen me naked; we need to make it even.”

Zuko laughed, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and leading you out of the alley, his side pressed firmly against yours.

“Fair,” he agreed. “But if you want me to pose for any art, you’ll have to sign some paperwork. I’m still Firelord, you know.”

Stranger

Zuko x Plus size!reader

Word Count: 1284 words

Warnings: none

Summary: Finding Zuko in the Northern water tribe and hiding him away from the others.

——————————————————————————————————

“What are you doing here?” you barked out, holding your knife high as you looked at the firebender. He had just crawled out of a hole in the ice, and as far as you were concerned, he was the enemy.

After all, the soot in the sand made him look as guilty as anything else.

However, the man didn’t even look phased at your appearance as he tried to breathe. It must have been strange for him, being out of his element…

Good.

“I asked you a question” you repeated, glaring daggers at the man though you had no idea what you would do if he decided to enter into a fight.

You could hold him off for a while, but eventually, he would likely best you. The waterbending you did know was very minimal, all things considered.

“I heard you” he grumbled out, sitting up slowly.

It was a casual movement, compared to what you had been expecting, but you didn’t let up your guard. After all, you had no idea what he was capable of but you weren’t going to let him leave this cave.

If he got out into the city, there was no telling who he could hurt. Not that he really looked to be in the position to hurt anyone right now.

When he pulled his wet hood away from his face, you saw that he was covered in bruises and marks, making it obvious he had been hurt before now.

If he was weakened, you may have had a fighting chance at taking him down.

“Who are you?” he asked finally, taking note of the fact you hadn’t relaxed since he’d arrived here. What kind of person just hung out in the cold like this? All alone.

It baffled Zuko, and that was saying a lot. After all, he loved to be alone and understood the benefits of solitude, but this was a tad excessive.

You sighed.

Firebenders always talked so much. “They call me Y/N. Who are you? What are you doing here?” you repeated, trying to get all the information you could out of him.

He didn’t seem like a threat, but you couldn’t let yourself think that way. He was fire nation, and he was dangerous. He was the enemy and he would kill you if he got the chance.

You couldn’t forget that.

“Are you a fire nation soldier?” you asked then, not even letting him answer the first set of questions you had fired off before it hit you. If he was, you should have just shoved him back into that hole now.

Your people were on the verge of full annihilation and you couldn’t allow him to get out of here.

“No.”

It was an answer, but not a very good one. Especially not considering all the things you had asked him just now. Though, if you knew anything about Zuko, it wouldn’t have surprised you.

“I’m here for the avatar. Once I get him, I’ll be on my way” he assured, shocking you. He didn’t want to kill all of you? You didn’t believe it.

You had never met a firebender before, but from what you had been told, that wasn’t true. The fire nation brought nothing more than death and destruction and this stranger would be no different.

“You’re freezing” you pointed out, noticing the way he shivered as he sat. Firebenders didn’t belong in the north, and he should have known that.

Not that you could really blame him.

“It’s cold”

A lot of attitude from someone who would be drown if you so much as called for help.

“Get up” you decided finally, offering a hand to the man, ignoring the obvious danger you were facing by doing so. You should have just kicked him into the water, but you couldn’t do it.

It wasn’t in your nature to condemn someone to their death, knowing you could stop it.

“You really don’t want to hurt my people? As long as you get the avatar” you clarified, helping him to his feet. It didn’t make any sense but Zuko nodded. He didn’t care about these people, as long as he got the avatar.

That was what he’d come for, after all.

“Do you know where I can find him?” He asked, looking at you with a newfound interest. Perhaps you had a use to him after all, even if you were a bit annoying at first.

You did.

It was wrong to give Aang up, you knew that, but it was too dangerous to let anyone else into this place. You had to protect your people first, and you had to assume that the avatar could handle himself.

After all, the fire nation could tear this place apart, and you couldn’t allow that.

“I’ll take you. But first, you have to warm up. You’ll be no good frozen solid” you teased, not getting much of a reaction from this stranger. He clearly was not easily amused, but you didn’t care.

For some reason, you felt like there was something about this stranger, something that you couldn’t just ignore. He was a person, he felt things and had weaknesses.

It was something you’d never imagined would be possible in the devils of the fire nation. Perhaps that was what prompted you to believe in him so much, but in any case, you couldn’t go back now.

You needed to help him.

“Will you tell me your name now? Or do I have to keep calling you stranger?” you wondered, walking with the man to your home as carefully as you could.

No one was around these back ways right now, seeing as they were preparing for a war, so you didn’t have to worry about getting caught with him.

If you could get a fire started, or at least get him out of the cold, you could get him out of here before anyone else had to find out about a fire bender in the northern water tribe.

It was the most you could hope for.

“Zuko” he grumbled out, keeping close to you though you were only serving to annoy him more and more as you kept talking. You didn’t seem to understand what was at stake if he let the avatar go.

Though he shouldn’t have been surprised.

You didn’t seem to understand much about what was going on at all outside this small island. If only he could make you understand...it would be so much easier.

“You’re the prince, aren’t you?” you realized, putting together everything you should have realized right away. From the scar to his determined way of speaking, you should have known.

They talked of his banishment on every corner of the four nations, and you should have recognized him. No wonder he wasn’t just some heartless killer.

He really wasn’t a soldier.

“Not anymore”

It was so flippant, and you could hardly believe it. He was the prince, he would always be the prince, and he should have known it. “Don’t say that, it isn’t true” you reasoned, sitting down beside him on the ice.

It didn’t make any sense that you were so emotionally involved with him already, or that you cared so much but that was just the effect that Zuko had on you.

He was so powerful, and for being the first firebender you’d ever met, he wasn’t some monster. He was just someone who had been dealt a really rough hand by someone who should have cared for him.

It wasn’t fair but that was just the truth.

It was what he’d been through.

“Whatever you say, stranger” you teased, knowing this conversation was far from over.

Betrayal

Zuko x Plus size!reader

Word Count: 1200 words

Warnings: none

Summary: Having been in love with Zuko as a kid but when he leaves the fire nation, you are made to believe that he’s the enemy. When you two meet again later, you are very cold to him

Part 2

——————————————————————————————————

The fire nation’s idea of Zuko had suffered greatly after his Agni Kai against Ozai, but it wasn’t always that way.

In fact, for a very long time, Zuko was the highly respected prince of the fire nation, and no one cared more for him than you did. From the very moment of your introduction, you knew that the young boy was special and while it took some time for him to warm up to you, eventually you were inseparable.

You never went anywhere without the other.

Talk of your eventual courtship and wedding were all over the fire nation, even at the time you were ten or eleven, not that either of you minded. In truth, you used to dream about your wedding, like every little girl did.

You wouldn’t have minded marrying him, at least, not at that time.

As you got a little older, you realized that real life wasn’t quite as simple as that. Though, the distant thought remained in your mind for quite some time after that realization even hit you.

Zuko was the closest thing to you, and you couldn’t imagine that ever changing.

...Not that you remained that naive forever.

As you started exploring your full potential as a warrior and a fire bender, you thought less of relationships and marriage, and much more about power and honor, just as Zuko did.

You trained together frequently, and got to be quite the powerful duo. In fact, you always thought that you did your best bending with the man you cared for by your side.

He balanced you out in a way that only he could, and kept you focused.

...Until that day.

The day of the Agni Kai came as a surprise to everyone, especially you. You experienced so much at once; from shock to anger, to worry. You had no idea why Zuko had done it, or if he was okay.

Everything was one unanswered question, but you never got any answers.

You went to visit him, after the event, and found that you weren’t allowed in. At that time, you had been told that Zuko didn’t want to see you and that, for that matter, never wanted to see you again.

It hurt.

His rejection hurt you in every way imaginable, but you kept trying to visit everyday anyway only to be turned away each time…

So, at a certain point, you stopped going all together.

You were tired of being turned away, weeks after he should have been almost totally healed. It didn’t make any sense that he wouldn’t want to see you, but that uncertainty and anger channeled perfectly into bending.

You excelled at that time in your life with your fire-bending, learning to balance yourself out perfectly fine without Zuko’s help.

As far as you knew, he had been banished from the fire nation and he was never to return, and that was it. That was all anyone would say, when you asked.

If anything, it was the nicest they could come up with.

Everything else they said was much more aggressive, about how he was a traitor and ungrateful. They spoke of his honor as a warrior, and how he would never have it again.

Without a word from him, and no proof that they were lying, it was only a matter of time before you started to believe it yourself and at this point in your life, Prince Zuko was nothing more than a memory.

He was someone you only ever thought about when you were alone, in the dead of the night. That was the only time you would dare let your thoughts wander to him at all.

You fantasized about where he must have been for a while, before only getting angry at his abandonment. He had left you here without a shred of explanation or reason, and you would never forgive him for that.

Eventually, the very idea of him only brought you rage.

You were sure that it would always be that way, that nothing would ever bring you peace but that was before you were assigned to General Zhao’s side of the coast of the earth kingdom.

It was the best place for you, on the outskirts of the war torn nation, or so you thought.

You had only been there a few days when an undocumented ship docked in the harbor. There were no supply drops scheduled but of all the things that it could have been, you never would have guessed that it was him.

In all honesty, you never thought you would see him again.

You desperately wanted to say something to him when Zuko came through the door but held your tongue. Instead, you tried to avert your gaze as Zhao addressed him. It would be simpler for you both if you just ignored him.

Though you should have known that wouldn’t work out well for you.

A few minutes into the conversation, Zuko caught sight of your against the far wall and nearly swallowed his tongue. You had grown quite a bit since he’d last seen you, but he would have known you anywhere.

It had to be you.

There was only one thing that had changed really, and it was the look in your eyes. There was a depth there, that verged on emptiness, and it broke his heart.

There was no telling what you had dealt with in the two, or so, years since he’d been at sea.

“I’ve missed you”

Zuko waited until everyone else in the room had left to address you, but you said nothing.

How could he say that he missed you after everything? It didn’t make any sense to you. There was no way that he even understood the meaning of the word after everything.

“You address me as Lieutenant, I’ll make sure the repairs are made for your ship” you informed, averting your eyes from his own, ignoring the coldness in your voice. You two were strangers now, no matter what he thought.

Whatever you had been, had ended with his banishment.

Then, without another word, you turned around and left him there, standing in the middle of an empty room. The very action broke your heart, or at least, it would have if it hadn’t already been shattered.

You didn’t stop your movements until you were safely locked away in the safety of your bed chambers, your back against the door. Once you were there, you broke down, letting the hot tears stream down your face as you thought about it.

The look in his eyes when he saw you again, the pain in his voice as he spoke, but worst of it all was that scar, that brand that he should have never gotten in the first place.

Out there, outside this room, you were the Lieutenant general, and you had to keep up that appearance...but in this room, you felt like a little girl again.

Kindness

Zuko x Plus size!reader

Word Count: 1415 words

Warnings: none

Summary: Zuko making a fire to keep you warm at night

——————————————————————————————————

You weren’t made for the cold.

It seemed like it should have been obvious but you hadn’t considered it all before now. Before, of course, you were sitting in the middle of the woods, shivering in the cold night air.

Earthbenders didn’t have much experience in the cold as a general rule, but that applied even more for you. You had grown up in Ba Sing Se, where winter hardly existed.

In fact, anything more than the dry heat of summer was too much for you.

“Are you alright?”

You didn’t address the voice at first, knowing exactly who it was. You had been traveling with the prince of the fire nation for multiple days, but that didn’t mean you owed him anything.

Just because Aang needed him didn’t mean you had to be friends.

“I’ll be just fine, thanks” you decided finally, looking up at Zuko over your shoulder. You could feel his weight shifting, from one foot to the other, in the dirt but again, you ignored it.

Whatever he was upset about, it wasn’t your problem.

Now normally, Zuko would have taken your reaction as a clear refusal of company but one thing kept him from doing so…

You were shaking.

“You’re shivering” Zuko pointed out, his voice somehow accusatory, even though he was trying his hardest to be gentle. He was just so rough around the edges, even when he didn’t want to be.

It seemed like a stupid thing to point out to you, considering the fact that you were the one doing the shivering but you nodded anyway.

How could you not be shivering with how cold it was out here? Not that you could expect Zuko to understand that.

He practically had fire running through his veins. It wouldn’t have surprised you if he wouldn’t be able to understand cold even if you tried to explain it.

It wasn’t in his nature.

“It’s cold, of course I’m shivering” you grumbled, holding your arms close to your soft body, trying to lock in as much of the heat you had left in as you could.

The way this was going, you’d probably freeze to death before the sun came up.

Nevertheless, those words got Zuko’s attention.

He had already assumed that you were cold but hearing you say it made all the difference to him. It made what he had only thought a reality, and something had to be done about it.

Luckily for him, Zuko was a firebender and if there was anything he could do for you, it was stop you from being too cold. Maybe that would even make you like him a little better.

So without a single word to you, Zuko sat down beside you on the rock you were perched on, not even bothering to explain himself before doing so.

Before you could question him though about what he thought he was doing, Zuko had lit the few waiting planks ablaze, with nothing more than a flick of his wrist.

It was incredible, though, not for the reason you may have originally assumed.

As soon as the logs caught fire, you felt the warmth they gave off all around you. It was like a warm, toasty blanket and you immediately melted a little into it.

It was the warmth that you had so desperately craved, but you couldn’t fully enjoy it. At least, not yet…You couldn’t enjoy it because Zuko was still sitting at your side, silent and impending.

It made you feel uncomfortable, seeing as there were no words between either of you. There was nothing you could say, not that Zuko was doing any better.

It was no secret that you and the firebender didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot, but he had just helped you greatly when he didn’t have to and you owed him some sort of thanks.

It was kind of him, even if you weren’t quite sure how to respond.

“Thank you Zuko” you settled, your demeanor just as outwardly abrasive as he had been a few moments prior. It would seem that neither of you was all that good at this, no matter how hard you were trying.

It was just so hard to ignore everything that had happened between you. You were just too different.

Weren’t you?

After all, you came from two very different worlds and you had absolutely nothing in common. It was neither of your faults, it was just the way it was.

You couldn’t change it and neither could he.

Zuko only nodded again, not trusting his mouth to form words. His voice was just as unsure as yours had been, though you had to wonder if there was something more. Perhaps you had more in common than you realized.

“Can I ask you something?” This time, his voice was much more sure, and much more casual.

You could practically hear his heart beating against his chest, but you didn’t mention it. Instead, you nodded, letting yourself glance over at him slowly after a few seconds.

It was rare, as you didn’t frequently allow yourself to look him in the face but when you did, you had to admit that you found yourself drawn to his golden eyes and everything he held beneath them.

Something about Zuko had always just pulled you in and you didn’t have much say in the matter.

“Why do you hate me so much?” he wondered, the question catching you off guard. Of all the things that he could have asked, you never would have guessed that would be it.

Why did you hate him? It was quite the question but the answer was far too complicated.

In all honesty, you didn’t hate Zuko. You could never hate someone that you barely knew, not really. More than anything though, you guessed that you were confused by the firebender.

For so long, you believed that he was the bad guy and for so long, you had thought of him only as the enemy.

...But now, you weren’t so sure.

“I don’t hate you Zuko. I guess I just don’t understand you” you shrugged, finally settling on some sort of answer. It wasn’t what he really wanted to hear, but it was better than the alternative. At least you didn’t hate him.

The realization made him smile, only slightly, but a smile nonetheless.

For some reason, the idea of you not hating him made the firebender feel all warm inside and he didn’t know why. He had made the same development with the rest of the gang, but with you, it was different.

Why was that?

“That’s okay, I guess we don’t know much about each other, huh?” he shrugged, doing his best to keep his cool, though it was proving difficult.

All of a sudden Zuko was struggling with even being able to look at you without feeling his skin heat up. It was strange, but not all together unwelcome.

It was just new.

“I guess not” you allowed, turning now to face the firebender head on. The rest of the gang had turned in for the night, so it was just the two of you, but that didn’t bother you right now.

Instead, you found yourself almost wanting to get closer to him than you ever had in the past.

“Maybe we can fix that, then?” he suggested, his lips upturned in a smirk as he studied your face, those golden eyes flicking back and forth between your lips and your own eyes.

It made you nervous, which was odd considering who you were talking to, but you didn’t fight it as much as maybe you should have.

After all, Zuko had shown you great kindness just now, and you could extend the courtesy. What could it hurt? All things considered, Zuko didn’t seem to be that bad of a guy.

Maybe you had more in common than you had originally assumed.

“Maybe we can” you smiled, letting your eyes drift back to the flickering flames of the fire in front of you.

Usually, you looked at fire as a destroying force and nothing more. It was wild, and unpredictable, and it only brought death and ruin. However, when you looked at it now, you saw something else.

You saw the potential it had as a healing force, or a positive influence. It was beautifully wild, instead of bad and it was strange how quickly that had changed.

Had you really been wrong all this time?

Strangers

Zuko x Plus size!reader

Word Count: 2008 words

Warnings: none

Summary: Reader runs into Iroh off the beaten path and decides to help him find his nephew, the ever mysterious Zuko.

——————————————————————————————————

You had no idea what an old man like Iroh was doing out in the woods all alone, or why he was just sitting in the middle of the deserted rock land, but that didn’t mean anything. In order for you to question why he was there, you’d also have to question why you were there as well.

...And you didn’t really want to do that.

So instead, you decided to just enjoy the zen space that Iroh had created for himself. You two drank tea together, and talked about life and the things you were running from. After all, anyone traveling alone was surely running from something.

Although, Iroh made it clear that he wasn’t alone, not really. The way he told it, he was traveling with his nephew, who had lost his path somewhere along the way.

It was clear to you in the way that he spoke about him that this nephew of his was very important to Iroh, and that inspired you. See, you weren’t really looking for anyone or anything out here, but he was and perhaps you could help reunite them.

All things considered, no one knew these woods better than you did and if his nephew was out here, Iroh had the best chance of finding him with you by his side. Besides, you weren’t exactly busy right now anyway.

In any case, Iroh was happy for the company. For a young woman traveling alone, you had more spirit and care in your body than he was used to seeing in anyone nowadays. With the war surging on after so long, most people were cold toward others.

For good reason.

Though, you didn’t hesitate in striking up a conversation with him and for someone like Iroh, that meant something. Perhaps some of that positivity and freedom would liberate Zuko from the pain and fear that plagued him.

It would be worth seeing, if nothing else. You were a good person, and with as few of those as there were, Iroh also found himself wanting to take you up on your offer to ensure your own safety.

The two of you on the road together were bound to run into trouble at some point, but between the old general and you, any threat didn’t have a chance. If nothing else, it could present a good opportunity to prove that you shouldn’t be underestimated.

All things considered though, the decision had been made and you and Iroh were on the road without much more conversation. The more ground you could cover before sundown, the better. Iroh had no idea what kind of trouble Zuko could have gotten himself into in the time since they’d separated.

After all, trouble seemed to follow that boy like a hungry turtle duck with nothing else to do. It was drawn to him and nothing was going to change that.

...No one knew that better than his uncle did and he was sure that you’d find out soon enough.

“So, tell me about this nephew of yours? What is he running from? Surely he would want to stay with such delightful company if given the option” you hummed, walking alongside Iroh at the pace you two had established.

The stones crumbled beneath your feet with each step, with which you could feel the entire pulse of the land for miles in any direction. Any sort of attack was unlikely due to the vibrations it would cause, but you didn’t bother telling Iroh that.

Whatever it was that you two could run into, it would be fine. You were just much more interested in why he was out here in the blistering heat for someone who clearly didn’t care whether he was near or not.

Whoever his nephew was, he obviously didn’t understand what a gem of an uncle he had, or else he would have never left him in the first place.

Anything could have happened to him out here, from bandits to a stray sabertooth-moose-bear wandering too far from the forest. His life was in danger at all times, just like everyone else's was, but still, Iroh only sat completely content.

Someone as old as him had to know how dangerous the fire nation was, but you would have never known it from talking to him.

“He is lost, but I have faith that he will find his path in time. I have simply chosen to let him find his way on his own” he allowed, that same distance but loving look crossing his features at the mention of him.

His nephew was one lucky man, whoever he was, because Iroh clearly cared very much for him.

You only wished you had someone in your life that cared for you that much.

“I’m doing the same, in some ways” you tried, letting a second or two pass between you before continuing. You were really bearing your soul to a complete and total stranger but it felt okay.

Something about Iroh reminded you of your grandfather when he had been alive. It was comforting, and it made you realize how much you missed your family in the first place. It had been so long since you’d felt that way.

“My family was killed in a fire nation raid, and I guess I just never felt at home anywhere after that” you shrugged, not even phased as the words left your lips. It made you sad to think about but you weren’t the only one who had ever lost someone.

It was just a part of life, especially this close to Ba Sing Se, and it had been many years ago now. There was no point in mourning them everyday when you could live in their memory each day that passed.

It just felt like a much better use of your time.

Still, the words seemed to strike a chord with Iroh. He knew it was likely the war had affected you in some ways but he hadn’t thought about what that could mean when you found out the truth about who he was.

It likely wouldn't go over well when you found out that he and Zuko were actually fire nation. Though, that news could wait a little longer to come to the surface. It was much better for you to feel at home for your time together than to hate him completely.

After all, you seemed like a wonderful spirit and to break that so early would be a tragedy.

So, he only nodded casually as you spoke, knowing how hard it must have been for you to admit to a virtual stranger. “I’m very sorry for your loss. I believe everyone has lost much in this war. Personally, I lost my son to the front lines” he informed, trying to prove his point.

Talking about Lu Ten stung, but it was just the sort of thing Iroh knew needed to be out in the open. If you two were to be spending much time together over the course of this journey, it was better you knew something about one another.

...And to be fair, the journey you’d embarked on was nowhere near over.

The commotion of the battle between a large number of strangers could be heard over the hill where you and Iroh had been walking, and as soon as he heard it, the older man knew what it must have meant.

It was the kind of commotion that he’d only heard like that since taking in Zuko, and he knew that must have been what it was. However, the last thing he was expecting when he rounded the corner was Azula.

Somehow she must have been tracking them, and at some point ran into the avatar as well, which caused quite a bit of tension immediately.

...And you were caught in the middle of it.

Not that you really minded.

In the time that you had been traveling with Iroh since you met, you had grown pretty fond of the old man and if there was trouble, you weren’t going to let anything happen to him. Not to mention the fact that you found out pretty quickly that his nephew was in the middle of it all.

Apparently Iroh wasn’t kidding when he told you all about his nephew’s wild temper, which you were getting to see up close and personal.

You just had to hope he wasn’t so chaotic in casual conversation.

No one could be, right?

You were wrong.

You had been very clearly wrong about your assumptions regarding Iroh’s nephew. As soon as you found yourself sitting across from him, you could tell that he was just as he’d been described to you.

During the fight you had all been part of, Iroh had managed to take a strike of lightning which knocked him both off his feet and unconscious. Though, you weren’t too worried because he seemed to be alright.

It was just going to take him some time to recover.

However, his resting gave you a chance to get acquainted with his nephew, who you’d come to know as Zuko in the time you’d been sitting here. He was a complete and total stranger to you but you couldn’t help but feel like you knew him after all Iroh had told you.

“What are you doing here? How do you know my uncle?” he asked at first, giving you curious glances between looking at where Iroh was currently resting, sighing contently like a dreaming child.

His body wasn’t quite ready to get up but that was okay. The two of you were going to make sure that he was alright, no matter how long he chose to sit there.

“We met on the road, and he told me about his search for you and I decided to help him out” you shrugged, hoping that would be enough of a reason to justify why you hadn’t left yet.

If nothing else, you now had to make sure that Iroh was going to be okay.

You half expected Zuko to answer you with some sort of hesitance or dismissal but it never came. Instead, he nodded, thinking over what little information you had given him about yourself.

There wasn’t much to talk about between two people who had just met each other but you didn’t let that bother you. There were very few people you couldn’t bond with, at least a little bit, and Zuko was no exception.

“Iroh really loves you, you know that don’t you?” you hummed, brushing the older man’s hair from where it had fallen into his face, smiling at him as he rested.

You could tell that no one had ever loved Zuko as much as Iroh did, and in that same vein, you could tell that the male in front of you didn’t really realize that was the case.

But it wasn’t because he didn’t care.

Zuko cared about his uncle very much, but he didn’t understand anything much more than his own desires and the things that had happened to him that were less than happy.

He was miserable thinking about where he came from, his family, or the things in his past. However, you knew better than anyone that the past doesn't define you and you were determined to prove that to Zuko.

It was all you could do for him, even with the little comfort between the two of you.

“Of course I do. What kind of question is that?” he wondered, a little too quickly and aggressively for your taste. “It’s the kind of question you ask someone you just met, apparently” he grumbled, rolling his eyes at you.

…Moody much.

By this point, you were sure that Iroh’s description of Zuko had barely scratched the surface but you weren’t even bothered by it. In fact, it only increased your desire to get to know him better.

No one was that one sided, and you knew that if you dug a little deeper, you would get to know who he really was.
