pt18

“What if he doesn’t want to see me?” Zuko asked. His amber eyes were transfixed on the tent before him.

“I think you know that isn’t true.” (Y/N) took his hand in hers and squeezed it. “I’ll be with the others if you need me.”

When the group awoke the next morning, Aang was gone. Each member searched high and low for the young Avatar, but to no avail. “I don’t really think this is the time for him to go on one of his special Avatar journeys,” Toph grumbled, to which (Y/N) hummed in agreement. As the group reunited after their searches, Zuko proposed the idea of utilizing the bounty hunter June and her shirshu Nyla in finding Aang.

“Isn’t she the one who paralyzed me?” (Y/N) asked bitterly.

“And me?” Sokka chimed in.

“And me?” Katara added. Zuko shrugged.

“Her shirshu can track someone down from across a continent. If anyone can find Aang, it’s her.” (Y/N) was not interested in the idea of procuring a bounty hunter to find Aang, but it was their only hope.

And that hope was quickly squandered. When they found June and convinced her to help them, her shirshu couldn’t locate Aang.

“Is he dead?” (Y/N) asked. June shook her head.

“Nyla would be able to smell his body. Your friend isn’t in this world anymore.” What that meant exactly, the group had no idea. Even when Aang traveled to the Spirit World, his physical body remained in the physical one. How could he have just disappeared?

“Try this, then,” Zuko said, holding up a piece of clothing to Nyla’s nose. The shirshu sniffed and immediately turned in the opposite direction, ready to dart off into the woods.

“Whose is that?” Katara asked.

“It’s my uncle’s. If anyone will be able to tell us what to do, it’s him.”

Nyla led the friends to the outer wall of Ba Sing Se, where they were met by King Bumi, Master Pakku, and the other great masters they had met over their travels.

“How do you all know each other?” Sokka asked.

“We are all part of the Order of the White Lotus,” Piandao explained. “An organization that transcends loyalty to our nations and instead comes together to fight for the common good.”

“Does that mean my uncle is here?” Zuko asked. Piandao nodded. The six friends were led into the main camps, where many tents had been set up to house other members of the Order. As (Y/N) passed, she recognized a few of the members as people she had known during her time traveling the three nations. Citizens of the Fire Nation that were also part of the Order seemed to be few and far between, but (Y/N) supposed their numbers deteriorated after nearly a hundred years of pro Fire Nation propaganda.

The biggest tent of them all belonged to the Grand Lotus: Iroh. The rest of the group dispersed to discuss battle plans, leaving (Y/N) and Zuko paused just paces away from the entrance of the tent.

“What if he doesn’t want to see me?” Zuko asked. His amber eyes were transfixed on the tent before him.

“I think you know that isn’t true.” (Y/N) took his hand in hers and squeezed it. “I’ll be with the others if you need me.” Her fingers slid from his and Zuko turned to watch her walk away before taking a deep breath and entering his uncle’s tent.

(Y/N) sat between Sokka and Katara as they listened to Master Pakku describe the Order’s plans to liberate Ba Sing Se. He paused as she joined their group.

“Ah, (Y/N). Glad to see you’re back in the clothes of your home nation.” It was a joke of course, a nod to the last time they had seen each other.

When the Fire Nation was attacking the Northern Water Tribe, (Y/N) had felt defenseless while fighting off the Fire Nation soldiers, so she had unleashed her firebending on them. Soldiers from the Water Tribe had captured her as a spy and it had taken a lot of convincing from Katara that she really was trying to fight against the Fire Nation. It was an embarrassing misunderstanding that led to (Y/N) to choose hand-to-hand combat over her own firebending if she could help it.

“Evening, Master Pakku,” (Y/N) said with a smile.

“Do you really think Iroh and the other firebenders will be powerful enough to take back the city?” Sokka questioned. Both Pakku and (Y/N) nodded.

“His power as a firebender is unparalleled,” Pakku explained.

“He might look like a sweet old man, but he is one of the best firebenders in the entire nation,” (Y/N) added. “I learned some of my best techniques from studying how he fought. Plus the comet will only make firebenders even more powerful.”

“Yeah, but you’re fighting against Fire Nation soldiers,” was Sokka’s rebuttal. “Won’t they be more powerful too?”

(Y/N) nodded. “I don’t mean to sound like a snob, but people like Iroh and I spent a lot more time training than those lousy soldiers. It’ll be a long fight, but not a hard one for Iroh.”

Almost as if he had been summoned, Iroh exited his tent with Zuko as his side. (Y/N) recognized the glistening trails of tears on Zuko’s face, but also saw the happiness in his eyes.

“(Y/N)!” Iroh cheered. She smiled widely and stood to run over and give him a hug. “It is very good to see you again.”

“And you the same,” she said, giving him a bow. “It feels like just yesterday that we broke out of the Fire Nation prison.”

“This is who broke you out?” Katara asked. Iroh chuckled.

“You think I would let the only other sane person in the Fire Nation stay in jail?” They returned to the campfire to further discuss their plans for the comet. Iroh poured them all cups of tea as Zuko and (Y/N) sat next to each other. Katara was the only one who caught the look of surprise on his face and she returned it with a smile as she accepted her cup of tea.

“Katara,” Zuko said. “How would you like to come to the Fire Nation to help (Y/N) and I take down Azula?”

“It would be my pleasure,” Katara said with a grin. The situation still gave (Y/N) a heavy feeling in her stomach, but sometimes the right thing was the hardest thing to do.

Eventually, (Y/N’s) friends and the other members of the Order dispersed from the campfire to retire for the night. Only (Y/N) and Iroh remained, finishing off the pot of tea.

“I see you and Zuko reconciled,” Iroh hummed as he sipped his tea.”

“For the most part, yes.” Iroh was the easiest person to talk to, (Y/N) found. When she was younger and had not even her own parents to turn to, if Iroh was visiting, he would lend her an ear. “I think I’ve forgiven him. Part of me still gets mad thinking about the things he’s done to me and my friends.”

“That is only natural. The heart cannot forget the wounds that it has endured, but it can heal from them.” (Y/N) nodded.

“I’m trying to.”

“I always thought you and Zuko were the most interesting pair.”

“How so?” Iroh sat in silence for a moment as he pieced his thoughts together.

“You are strong in your beliefs. You are not afraid to be defiant if it means doing what is right. I remember when you were younger, I heard you arguing with your mother about why you should continue your firebending training. You told her that you did not care what she wanted you to do, because you knew becoming a better bender would make you stronger.” Iroh chuckled.

“Zuko had told me to say that, so I could stay in training with him. She gave me the punishment of a lifetime after I said it.”

“I am sure. But Zuko was not granted the same strength as you. He is loyal to the people he cares about, which is why it was so hard for him to choose what was right and wrong. He loved you and I but loved his father and Azula as well.”

(Y/N) furrowed her brows. She wasn’t quite sure where Iroh was going with this, but then again, was anything he said ever straightforward?”

“You pushed Zuko to make the right choices and he pushed you to stand up for yourself. As I watched you grow up, I noticed how you rotated around each other. Like the moon and tides, you and Zuko were always the driving force behind the other.”

“Until he was banished.”

“Zuko fought so hard to capture the Avatar because he wanted to restore his honor and return home to you. He will never admit it, but that is all he wanted.”

“And I guess here I was, fighting against my home for doing horrible things and taking someone I cared about away from me.”

“We are all connected, but no matter how hard you or Zuko tried to cut the thread that tied the two of you together, it is indestructible.” Iroh finished the last of his tea and stood. “You must rest. We all have a big day ahead of us.”

(Y/N) watched as Iroh returned to his tent. She squashed out the dying fire. and made her way back to the tens she and her friends had been given. Katara and Toph slept in the first one, Suki and Sokka in the next, and Zuko lay fast asleep in the last one.

(Y/N) crawled into the spot beside him, feeling the exhaustion of the day weighing heavily on her body. She lay on her back and instantly fell asleep.

Katara woke the next morning and decided to rouse (Y/N) and Zuko first, since they would be traveling to the Fire Nation together. She pulled open the door to the tent to see (Y/N) snoring on Zuko’s chest, with Zuko’s arm wrapped tightly around her waist.

Katara dropped the tent door and walked away. She could give them a few more minutes.

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎 ! i’m coming to you with a very late intro, i know, but i swear i’m not usually this unprepared !! anyways, my name is jada, and this is my chaotic baby maxwell “ MAX ” choi ! i love him to death already and can’t wait to start writing with him ! i was here long ago with the short-lived yet beloved zhao chenglei, but life got in the way ! the two are very different, yet i’m even more stoked to be here the second time around & get things going ! i did create him kind of spontaneously, so his plots & bio page is still wip, but you can find his profile here, and some trivia & plot bunnies below ! oh, and LIKE THIS if you’d like to plot, maybe ? i’ll stop talking now, but i hope to hear from you soon !

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 !

first generation canadian who hails from toronto, canada ! a snow baby forever and always, he loved living there and has nothing but good memories there !

he was born maxwell choi, and he’s still called that by family and some old friends, but once he got to middle school he felt the name was too fancy and wasn’t fitting so dropped the “well” and just became MAX !

though he’s canadian, he’s never really felt he was lacking in terms of his korean identity ! both his parents were born and raised there, korean is actually his first language, and he was taught english through school. since he was two he’s been going to korea for the summer to visit his family, too, so he’s always felt really connected to his culture !

his dad’s a car salesman at his own dealerhsip, and his mom’s an attorney, so he’s lived a really comfortable life. it’s easy to see where his charisma comes from, too ! growing up his dad was more involved in his upbringing, while his mom was on the colder side, so he’s closer to him as he’s the one who was the most loving toward him then and now !

he was expected to take over his dad’s position at the dealership when he was older, but as he grew up he noticed his absolute lack of passion for the career. he thought it fit his dad well, yet couldn’t see him doing something like that !

but during his teenage years he discovered his love for rap ! he always loved listening to it, but when he started rapping along he discovered his true passion.

he didn’t really know what to do with that, however, as it wasn’t a very stable career ! it wasn’t until 2016 when he met someone online through a video game & they became friends that things changed ! they would talk a lot & eventually they introduced him to the world of kpop and ... boom ! everything changed for him. when he realized it wasn’t all girls in frilly skirts ( which hey, wasn’t too bad either ) he found himself being engulfed in this entirely new music genre !

fast forward all the way to 2019, when he auditioned for the company ! it was in january, and there was no way he thought he was gonna make it. they were giving out cds to those who auditioned, and he really just wanted to hear some haru, but it was quite literally the biggest surprise of his life when he got accepted !

his mom was enitrely, and i mean e n t i r e l y, against the idea. she thought a career in the idol industry was fleeting and not profitable and thought it was an embarrassment for him to be apart of. while his father wasn’t thrilled and still has hopes for him to inherit the dealership, he was content seeing his son happy and hoped for his success.

so off max went, to the big city of seoul !! unlike some foreign trainees it wasn’t some great transition for him, in fact he adjusted pretty well ! he had the benefit of being well-travelled and having visited the country often, as well as being comfortable in his korean.

it wasn’t all peaches and roses, however, and he did have some difficulty ! it was the first time he was coming to stay, so he had a tendency to get homestick, and despite everything, he still stuck out. he had a lot of mannerisms, style choices, and just obvious indicators he was a foreigner. he also had to finish off the last semester of his senior year in korea, and he was bummed he missed out on those senior year experiences like graduation, senior parties, and just being with the people he’d grown up with !

whenever he was having trouble, he couldn’t really call home either, since he knew they doubted him and didn’t want to give them any more reason to ! he’s not really the type to share when he’s feeling down, so he really internalized a lot of his emotions at the time, and the bit that he didn’t he confided in with his few friends he’d made by then. definitely a bit of a rough patch for him !

he also may have had some trouble getting along with trainees ! he has a very blunt & extroverted personality, which didn’t really fit with typical korean social norms !

aside from that, max was a LOT more chill than some of these people. he was passionate about rapping, but some trainees were “debut-or-die” level and he just wasn’t that far ! he’d just kind of look at them like .... why are you making this such a big deal ? i’m just here to have fun ?? so he had a tendency to slack off a lot during the first few months of training and try to bend the rules as much as he could behind the trainer’s backs without getting caught ! which i can imagine would get on some trainee’s nerves.

he does go to university, a condition by his parents for letting him go to korea. he’s a music production major and marketing minor at the moment, but he’s changed his mind quite a few times ! honestly, he’s not all that interested in attending school, but doesn’t have much of a choice and knows it’s an important backup should this whole idol thing not work ! he does enjoy the social life he gets from it, though, because he would’ve had a much harder time adjusting and meeting friends had he not been in school.

now, he’s still pretty sluggish, but after a few company punishments, he’s shaping up and learning how to work harder. he just passed his year anniversary training with the company, and though he has a lot to learn he’s showed promise in his time there !

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 !

very extroverted !!! and he always has been. he feels really comfortable and large environments and is the main reason he thrives as an idol ! can and will pick up a conversation with just about anyone, particularly those who aren’t like him but rather on the more introverted spectrum !

like stated before, he doesn’t really like talking about his emotions if they’re personal / negative. it makes him uncomfortable & awkward and thinks it makes everyone else feel that way too, so avoids it like the plague. if he’s emotional with you ... you’re a keeper !

tends to make light out of every scenario, due to his optimistic nature. he has the mentality that life’s too short to be stressed, so does his best to avoid it whenever he gets the chance ! it can be appropriate at times, and sometimes people perceive it as him not taking things seriously, but really he’s trying to make things better !

a little cocky, considering his lack of experience. he kind of thinks he’s the s***, and he honestly could use a little more humility ! but he’s used to being held on this sort of pedestal, and because of it has a looot of confidence a lot of the time !

very loyal, once you befriend him he’s yours for life ! he values trust and longevity in a friendship, so does his all to give it to you. on the other hand, if you lose his trust, things .... get a little disastrous. he isn’t one to forgive something like that and will quite literally block someone out his life if they do break his trust.

on that note ... he’s also very stubborn !! he likes things the way he wants them, and can hold a grudge for years if he wants to. this is one of the exceptions to his “ hakuna matata ” mentality lmao, but he’s working on it ! he used to have trouble accepting criticism from trainers if he didn’t agree with them, but is slowly getting better at listening to feedback in order to improve.

tends to be a little manipulative ! he doesn’t mean to use it maliciously, but it does sometimes go like that. like i said, he’s got that desire to win other’s over to get what he wants like his parents, so ... that can translate into a little deception !

loves loves loves video games !!! will talk about them all day, if you ask. he’s been hooked ever since the first time he got a controller in his hand and is always looking for some new gaming buddies !

has a secret tiktok account that he can’t really publicize but people have to know ?? he just renegades too good not to have some practice folks

he compulsively says “ let’s get it ” and “ boom ” like the joke he is and it’s a problem, really !! someone please call him out or just .... stop him

also !! he is entirely too CLUMSY for his good. he trips over people, trips over his own limbs, trips over a i r !! there’s just no telling with this guy. he’s so stupid when it comes to coordination, i swear, i almost worry he needs to see a doctor lmao !! but thank god for his clumsiness coming in handy at the exact moment he needs to have a little humility.

𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 !

the friend he played video games with who introduced him to kpop ( see above ) !! they’ve been friends for roughly 3 years now and they’re the reason he even considered pursuing a career as an idol, so i imagine they’ve grown pretty close ! since they played online, this person doesn’t have to be from canada, and really any muse that knew korean or english well enough to communicate back then !

are there any canadian muses ?? i’m not sure ! if there is, i’d love to have some childhood friends who he grew up with ! give me all the angst, softness, or romance that you can muster up !! i love a good backstory.

some friends who he spent the summers in korea with ! he visited june through august of every year, and sometimes spent other holiday breaks there. so there’s definitely a chance for them to grow close ! maybe even a short-lived romance where they hadn’t expected to meet again ??

a senior / older trainee who showed max the ropes ! while he knew a good deal about korea he didn’t have a clue about being a trainee, so definitely could’ve used a bit of help there !! unintentionally this person became a sort of parental figure to max, even if they didn’t mean to or if they’re not significantly older ! either way, they were his first real source of support since the move, and nowadays he’s still very close to them and looks to them for any sort of help or advice he needs !

pleeeeease give him a little crush !! he goes out his way to impress those that he likes, and turns into a true softie !! on the other hand, a bitter exes plot or even exes on good terms could be fun too ! can you tell i’m a romantic yet ? 😥

someone who’s entirely put off by the thought of max ! someone who, unlike him, is planned, logical, or very cutthroat and passionate about becoming an idol ! give me someone to nitpick him for his lifestyle, and someone for him to bicker with and just create a little drama !!

video game buddies !! he doesn’t have the whole setup like he used to back home, but he does nearly always have his switch on him if your muse is in the mood for a little friendly competition !! fair warning .... he does get competitive !

male dorm h and male rookie evening trainee group gang, let’s go !! that’s a lot to say, but in simple terms, if your muse trains or dorms with him let’s get something going ! max is still a new trainee and needs some friends to spend the long days with, he promises to make it worth their while !! max has the power of making nearly every scenario entertaining, after all !

#lgc:intro #this is so late i'm sorry :c #but i filled this to the brim with content !!#also tysm for the cute welcomes !! i've heard my notifs going off & am getting to everything asap !!#also i'll rb this tomm !!

CHAPTER 25

ROCKY

I was laying down watching TV when I heard a nose I looked at the door and saw Mia waving at me I smiled and looked at Donnie he was sleep so I started to get out of bed. When his arm came around me and pulled me back I winced.

“Ow”

“Sorry but where you going?”

“To talk to Mia”

“Tell her to call you back”

“She’s here outside the room”

“Oh okay” he didn’t let me go I smiled and giggled but it hurt.

“Ow hurts to laugh are you going to let me go?”

“Yea” he moved his arm and I got out of the bed leaving the room.

I went downstairs to the livingroom where Jada, Mia and Sammie were all sitting I sat on the couch and we all started talking.

“Girl you won’t believe this” Mia said

“What?”

“Tiff and Erica are friends that’s the reason why she took pictures of Donnie’ house so she could show her his place” Mia said

“Who told you that?”

“A little birdie told me about it I didn’t believe that they was friends until I asked Tiff if she knew Erica and she said yea they hung out a few times” Mia said

“WOW I would have never guessed she knew her the way she talks about her”

“Well she does and that bitch can't be trusted now she could be going back telling her all we talk about” Sammie says

“Yea now I gotta watch what I say around her if I let her come around me”

“Yea” Jada says “I bet you can't wait till you heal to have sex with Donnie again” I made a face. “You had sex already you whore”

“I couldn’t wait for feel him again sorry” I laughed then winced.

“You’re going to hurt yourself girl heal up first and no more sex until you do” Mia said I nod.

“So how are things between yall any awkward feelings?” Jada asked

“No”

“Really I mean it will never go back to the way it was with yall like it was before I’m sure he feels it and you don’t” Jada said

“I mean I’m worried that he wouldn’t see me the same after what happens I mean what am I supposed to do about it, he said he gets a pass one pass”

“He does” Sammie said I looked at her like she was crazy. “What he does”

“No he don’t, don’t listen to her she don’t know what she’s talking about” Jada said

“Why would I let him get a pass?”

“Cause you cheated on him broke his heart you don’t get over a broken heart that fast no one does he doesn’t trust you yet I can tell you that and I know cause I know men” Sammie says

“He trusts me”

“No he don’t ask him he’ll tell you he doesn’t trust you at all, you broke his heart and it doesn’t heal that quick so your in the dog house ma’am” Sammie says Mia shakes her head agreeing with her.

“But we had sex and he told me he loves me”

“So! I mean he can still love you and not trust you, you don’t get over hurt like that, that fast Rocky I don’t care who you are just because you’re ready for it to go back the way it was don’t mean it will” Sammie says

“She’s right you may not wanna hear it but what you did to him the hurt he felt is not going to go away in 2 days” Mia says

“What am I supposed to do then wait and see if he still mad at me or should I just ask him how he feels?”

“I say ask him just sit down and have a real talk with how he feels ask him questions that you wanna know and how can you make it better you can't think it’s going to be okay like that when he’s the one that’s hurt it will take a while to earn his trust and love back” Mia says

“But he says he loves me”

“Yes that’s what he says but you gotta earn that love yall used to have back as well as his trust I’m telling you the truth you don’t have any of it back” Mia says

“Here I am thinking its all good and gravy just to find out it’s not”

“Well that’s what we are here for to let you know what is really going on and not to lie to you when your wrong your wrong when your right your right but right now your wrong and you got a lot of making up to do with him” Sammie says

“Yup” Mia said

“I need to talk to him about how he really feels”

“Yes you do cause a relationship broken because of lies and reconnected based on a lie will not last” Sammie says they hung out for another hour or so until I was in more pain and needed to take some painkillers and lay down they went ahead and left I went upstairs taking my meds and I got in the bed Donnie was awake watching TV when I climb into bed.

“Hey”

“Yes”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure you can ask me anything”

“And you will be honest with me?”

“Yes I’m always honest with you”

“Okay since you said you’ll be honest with me I wanna know how do you really feel about me?”

“What do you mean I love you”

“No you don’t be honest with me how do you really feel about me? I mean I know you can't just love me after what I did so I wanna know how do you really feel please I need to know this”

“Okay I have love for you but I can't at the moment love you like I used to I’m still hurting from what you did”

“Okay do you trust me?”

“Honestly?”

“Yes”

“No I don’t it took everything in me not to go downstairs to make sure you wasn’t lying to me” I felt hurt that he didn’t trust me or love me but I brought all this on myself not him I can't be mad at him he’s still hurting.

“Oh, I didn’t lie you could have come down to check”

“I know but I didn’t”

“Well what am I going to do now that you don’t trust or love me what kind of relationship will we have?”

“I don’t know really I guess we gotta work on us again I spent months getting used to you not being there and now I have to reprogram myself to having you back in my life again as my friend”

“Not your best friend?” he shook his head no I felt crushed right there I lost so much with him.

I felt tears start to fall I moved my hand to wipe them but he beat me to it using his thumb wiping my tears. Then he kissed my forehead, my nose, and both cheeks before settling his mouth over mine.

“I will make it up to you and earn back your love and trust I promise” I move my mouth to kiss his and he kissed me.

“I know you will but first you gotta end all contact with him for me to believe you”

“I have” he looked at me and nodded I knew he didn’t believe me and I hated it. “You hungry I can go make us something to eat?”

“Nawl not hungry about to call my mom and check on her see how she’s doing”

“Oh okay I’m a little sleepy so I will lay down maybe I will fall asleep”

“Okay” he kissed my forehead as I lay down and got under the covers while he got on his phone calling his mother.

DONNIE

After I got off the phone with my mom she was good happy to hear from me and that Rocky was home safely right now I was sitting on the bed watching TV as Rocky slept Lisa came home and checked in on us then went to her room I was chilling when my phone went off.

“Hello”

Ph) “Hey Don I need your help” Stacey cried

“What’s wrong?”

Ph) “I just got into with my boyfriend and he told me to get out and I have no other place to go can you help me?” Stacey asked

“Yea of course pack up some stuff and meet me at my house”

Ph) “Okay thanks” Stacey said and hung up the phone I looked at Rocky and kissed her before I got out the bed and left.

I drove all the way home it took me 45 minutes to get home once I pulled up I saw Stacey’s car there she got out when I did and came to me hugging me.

“What happen?” I went to the door unlocking it and cutting the alarm off my dogs came running to me as Stacey came in.

“He got mad at me because I didn’t wanna go to some ghetto ass club with him I told him I didn’t feel like going out tonight then he went off on me about other stuff told me if I didn’t like it to get the fuck out of his house he started throwing my stuff out the room so I packed up and left I called you from the gas station where he followed me too, getting out his car still yelling at me about stupid shit I told him if he keeps following me I’m calling the cops on him and he drove off the other way.” Stacey said

“Oh okay well you can stay here as long as you like no rush on leaving I'll show you, a room and you can do as you please I have a spare keys I'll give them to you and give you the code.” We went walking through the house to a room and I opened the door. “Here you go”

“Thanks again” Stacey said

“No problem”

“Oh boy” Stacey said and looks around.

“Want some help getting your stuff?”

“No I got it thanks” Stacey said

“You sure?”

“No”Stacey said I helped her bring her stuff into her room once we was done she was sitting on the bed looking at her fingers.

“You’ll be okay sometime a part will be good for yall”

“Is that how you really feel about the situation or are you just saying that to make me feel better?” Stacey asks

“Bit of both really”

“Oh okay so how’s things with you on Rocky going so far?” Stacey asked

“We are back together but not together all the way she asked me how did I feel about her she wanted to know if I still loved and trust her and I don’t and I told her I think she was thinking it was going to go back to the way it was when we first because friends and started our relationship and it can't go backwards and I don’t think she realize it right now. Well I hope she does now see that we need to move forward and not back she needs to earn it all back.”

“That’s the hard part earning it all back and knowing where to start it the hardest part” Stacey says

“Yea I guess” I sat on the floor by the door “I was with her tonight when you called”

“You left her to help me I know she couldn’t have like that” Stacey says shaking her head.

“She was passed out from her meds she was taking so I didn’t have to tell her but I’m going back there after I leave here”

“Oh okay then she won’t know” Stacey says

“She messed me up bad, never had my heart broken like that before”

“Did you tell her that?” Stacey asks

“I told her that countless times”

“But you need to tell her that again now she will hear you now since she got you back, and is willing to do whatever to make it up to you” Stacey says

“Yea I guess your right welp let me get out of here put the alarm on you got my dogs here to protect you so I'll see you later” I got up and left the room then set the alarm and left the house going to my car getting in I left my home and drove to Rocky’s thinking about what me and Stacey talked about I needed to talk to Rocky if I was ever going to get my best friend back we needed the air to be clear a little more before I will allow myself to heal from what she did.

Forty-eight

Randi

“What do you think?” I asked, pursing my lips in nervous anticipation.

“Shit is dope,” he said, looking around. “Yall even got an upper level area.”

“Nails is gonna be up there a i think. I’ll probably let China and Jada iron that put though.”

“Its nice to see a salon that ain’t ghetto,” he chuckled.

“You’re horrible,” I shook my head.

“It’s classy is all,” he said.

“Good, thats we were going for. So really you like it?” I asked, looking around at the work that was going on right now. Thee were painters painting as well as some plumbers installing shampoo sinks.

“I do,” he paused, “I like it even more because it makes your face like that.”

I turned my attention back to him.

“Like what?” I laughed lightly, putting my hand on my cheek to try and calm my extreme smile. I knew I probably looked stupid.

“Happy,” he said, grabbing my hand. He brought it up close to his face and looked at it. “Where’s your ring?”

“Oh, ya,” I realized. I took my hand from him to get it from my purse and put it on. “I was washing those dishes before we left.” He nodded, remembering me taking it off. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

“Sorry we couldn’t come the other day. Work is just gon be busy for a while,” he said.

“You made it up to me, so it’s ok.” I shrugged.

“You been pretty busy too though with this place. Sometimes you not home when I get back.”

“That’s true,” I nodded. “I work like a full 8 hour shift.”

“I’m not sure how I feel about that,” he mumbled. I laughed and narrowed my eyes at him.

“Why?”

“Because I like when I get home and you there,” he whined, well to me it sounded like whining. I rolled my eyes.

“You better get used to it,” I shrugged, turning to the door so we could leave because i was starving.

“What you want to eat?” He asked when got in the car.

“Something spicy. We can do that Indian place. Or do you want mexican?” I deliberated.

“Let’s do Indian.”

When we got home we sat down with our takeout and watched some TV. I was sitting with my legs on his lap. It was really hot so we had the fan going but I still had to have my shirt off and so did Cayden.

“Let’s go upstairs,” Cay said.

“You wanna sleep?” I asked.

“No, not sleep,” he smirked. I laughed and shook my head. I should have known.

“Fine, let’s go,” I sighed. He scooped me up in his arms and I screamed in surprise. He ran down the hall, and all the way up the stairs to our bedroom.

“Oh my god” I giggled. He put me on the bed and I was kneeling so that we were eye level unlike when I was usually standing beside him. It was nice to be face to face to him so I could see all the details that I loved about him. I was honestly thankful for the break up because it made me realize how much I actually needed Cayden, and reassured me about how much he needed me.

I threw my arms over his shoulders and put my lips to his. I kissed him until I got the butterflies in my stomach that I always did when I kissed him. I felt up his bare muscular back. He unhooked my bra and slid down my underwear. I moved back on the bed while he took off his shorts.

“Let me hit it from the back,” he licked his lips. I turned around and got on my hands and knees, preparing myself for what was about to come. His hands were firm on my hips and as he pressed up against me.

“Ahh, fuck,” I said, biting down on my bottom lip. He brought his hand to my back, arching it more. I went on to my elbows and gripped the sheets.

“You like that?” He asked, thrusting into me rythmically.

“God yes,” I moaned. I closed my eyes and lost myself in the lust and love.

After we both had our happy ending, I collapsed back into the pillows. I moved the hair from my face. Cayden got up and started to put his boxers on. It was unusual for him to not lay with me for a while after we had sex but I didn’t wanna make a scene.

“You going out?” I asked, still unable to really move my legs.

“No,” he shook his head. “I just want water.” He left the room and came back after a minute with 2 bottles of water. He sat on the bed and handed me one. I took it and drank some water to cool down. He pulled me into his side and I smiled but also went red.

“"I thought you were just gonna hit it and dip,” I confessed. He chuckled.

“Thats why you was asking?” I nodded. “Nah. I gotta stay with you a while, make sure I ain’t break nothing down there,” he grinned. I laughed and gave him an eye roll.

“I am sore, but not broken.”

“Sore is good. I ain’t hit it right if you can walk.”

“You always hit it right,” I mumbled to myself but of course he heard. “You weren’t supposed to hear that,” I laughed.

“You said it,” he cheesed, “you like it from the back don’t you? You be screaming my name and shit.” I simply flushed. “You like the way I be grabbing your hips and arching ya back…going deeper inside,” my stomach fluttered and I shivered because his mouth was right by my ear.

“Jesus Cay,” I said, moving away from him. He chuckled.

“I’ll stop if you admit it.” He challenged.

“Fine. I like it. There.” I said. He shook his head.

“Nahh” he cackled, “that’s boring. Like you mean it.” I sighed, turning to look him directly in the eyes. I decided to play with him a little bit. I put my hand on his chest and slowly moved it down his stomach towards his boxers. I put my lips against his ear.

“I love it when you hit it from the back Cay, when you arch my back and go deeper, and deeper…and deeper,” I said softly. I saw him get excited and he was starting to stand to attention again. He tried to grab me but I removed myself from him and stood up then. “Well, I have work to do.” I started to put my clothes on and he graoned in frustration, covering his face with a pillow. I left him to suffer and went to go clean up in the bathroom.

After i cleaned up i decided to make up the bed and started to do some banking and checking email on my laptop. Cayden had decided to go shower and had just come out all steaming and naked. He went to the drawer and pulled out fresh boxers.

“So, my mom wants all of us to drive down to Dallas to go wedding dress shopping,” I said as I closed my laptop.

“Okay, when yall going?” He asked.

“Tomorrow. She got a hotel so we’ll just stay the night. Im driving and you know I don’t like driving at night,” I said. He nodded.

“I don’t want you driving at night either, you can barely dive during the day. Drive down in the morning,” he agreed. I gave him a dirty look and she chuckled. He went to the bedside table and picked up his wallet. He pulled out a card and held it out to me.

“I already paid for the hotel,” I said. He shook his head.

“Its for the dress.”

“Oh.” I said, pausing for a moment. I hadn’t expected that. I took the card hesitantly. “Thank you.” He shrugged.

“I’m bout to go play ball with Ty and Cole,” he said, as he went to the closet.

“Okay. I probably won’t be here when you get back. I gotta go pick out mirrors from ikea,” I said. “Jenny offered to help me.”

“Ok.”

“also, I’ve been thinking while doing all this. I want to redecorate after the wedding. We need something new. Make the house more us. Since we’ll be married and all,” I said, with just a bit of a shudder.

“I can buy you a new house if you want,” he said, coming back out in a wife beater and shorts.

“No Cayden, I don’t want you to buy me a house! ”

“Well really you’ll be buying yourself a house, after the wedding my money will be your money,” he said. “And you don’t gotta feel bad cause your salon will be booming soon.”

“This house is perfectly fine Cay,” I stressed. I moved my laptop aside and got up to start getting ready. He shrugged, always unbothered.

“I’m out baby,” he came to peck my lips. “I love you.”

“Love you too.”

Cayden

When I got to the YMCA the guys were already there and had secured a court. I hadn’t just hung out with my niggas in a while.

“Cay,” Cole dapped me up. It was weird seeing him holding a basketball instead of a football. “Congrats nigga, I heard the word on the street that you in charge now.”

“Man, I don’t know about all that,” I said.

“So what you do to him?” He asked. I looked at Ty to see if he had told him a our Red. “He ain’t say nothing. I may not be in it but i know how the game works,” he shrugged.

“He had a convinient accident, if you catch my drift,” I said. He tossed me the ball. I dribbled it for a bit.

“You look stressed,” he noticed.

“He is stressed. Nigga didn’t know what he was getting himself into,” Ty chimed in even though nobody asked his ass.

“I just gotta figure out what I’m gonna do about the other warehouse. I didn’t want Red’s warehouse. Just control of my own. I’m thinking of putting someone in charge of the other one,” I took a shot at the basket and it went in. Cole went after the ball.

“Who?” Ty asked.

“I was thinking you nigga,” I said. He chuckled hard, hunching over and all.

“You funny. I’m good. That Shit ain’t for me. It’s good money but…”

“I knew you’d say that.” I admitted. “But I gotta find someone because it’s too busy running both. Randi’s crazy ass will leave me if I’m always at work. Yall know she get jealous when I spend time anywhere else.”

“Plus you gon be cuffed for real in like 8 weeks. You gotta be home for dinner now,” Cole teased.

“Fuck you man.” I said. “You have a point though. I’m tryna get a mini me soon, I can’t be gone all the time.”

“Damn yall gone have a babies already?” Ty asked. “This nigga wants a baby.” He said to Cole. Cole coughed and stayed silent, I assumed trying to stay in his business.

“That’s not the issue right now. Who we gon find?” I pressed.

“What about Pat?” Ty said. “He does know about dealing on top of security. And you can trust him right?” Ty said.

“Yeah, he helped us the night of the accident, and he really came through in tracking Dre and protecting Randi.” I thought about it and realized it could work. “I’ll talk to him.”

“Aight.” Ty nodded.

“So we gon play ball or what?” Cole said.

“Aight one on one. I’ll take winner between you two suckers,” I passed the ball to him.

“Bet,” they said at the same time.

After we finished our game I pulled Cole aside.

“Let me holla at you man,” I said. He nodded and came to the side line with me while Ty was shooting hoops.

“What’s up man?” Cole asked.

“I want you to be one of my niggas at the wedding. Groomsmen or whatever gay shit,” I said, scratching my little beard that I needed to shave.

“Awe that’s so sweet. For real man?” He cooed like a girl.

“Man chill with all that. But for real, you like family to me and Randi. I know yall besties and what not, but we niggas too.”

“Thanks man,” he said sincerely. “I’d be honored to be part of the wedding.”

We had a quick man hug.

“So Ty gon be my best man, you gon be a Groomsmen, maybe something will happen.” I cleared my throat meaningfully.

“We’ll see,” he chuckled. I hit him in the arm jokingly.

“Imma hit the shower and drop by work real quick. I gotta see whats going down at the other warehouse, make sure sgit aint falling apart. You coming through?” I called to Ty.

“I’ll pull through.” He nodded. I grabbed my duffel bag and headed for the showers.

After making sure business was running like usual at Red’s old warehouse, I made my way home. It was early in the evening and I was getting hungry now because I hadn’t had dinner. I sat at the kitchen island and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I pressed her name and selected call. It rang a few times.

“Hi Cay” she said.

“Im hungry,” I said. She laughed in response.

“Find something in the fridge to eat,” she said.

“I checked, there’s no leftovers,” I said.

“So order takeout from somewhere,” she said.

“When you coming home?” She laughed again.

“It’s that serious?” She asked. “I told you I wasn’t gonna be home Cay.”

“I know but I miss you,” I said, trying to guilt her.

“Awe i miss you too,” she said. “Fine I’ll be home in like an hour. What do you want to eat?”

“Can you fry some chicken?”

“Ok, you can take chicken out the freezer,” she said.

“Ok. I love you,” I smiled at my victory.

“Love you too.”

I played some games on my Xbox while I waited for her to get home.

I heard the door open followed by her calling me.

“Cay!”

“Yes?” I asked.

“Can you come unload my car,” she asked. I paused my game and got up, going to the door. I went out to the car and opened the back. I picked up the large mirror. “Is it gonna fit through the door?” She asked.

“We gotta turn it sideways I think,” I said. I turned it on to its side so it was horizontal, and stepped through the door. “Where do you want it?” I asked.

“Upstairs, that ones for the closet. The rest are going to the salon. They can go in the basement. One of the contractors will come get them.”

“Okay.” I went upstairs and to our bedroom. She wanted it for her half of the closet because there was only one mirror now and it was on my side. I sat it up against the wall. It would need some nails so it wouldn’t fall.

While I took brought the rest of the mirrors downstairs Randi started on cooking the food. When I was finished I locked the car and came back inside.

“Where do you want your keys?” I asked.

“Can you put them in my purse please. I’ll need them in the morning, we leaving real early” she said. I put them in her bag like she asked then sat at the island.

“Are you excited for your girls shopping trip?” I asked.

“Sort of,” she said.

“Isn’t finding the wedding dress the best part for girls?” I asked.

“No, it’s stressful because you wanna look perfect,” she said, turning the chicken in the pan.

“That’s not very hard for you,” I said, thinking about how beautiful she had looked on her graduation day.

“Thank you baby,” she turned to smile at me. “I’ve never seem you in a full suit. I’m gonna have to try not to jump you in front of my family,” she giggled.

“I wouldn’t mind.”

“You nasty. Your mama will be watching,” she said. “Speaking of that, I tell you she coming tomorrow?”

“She is?” I asked, surprised. I hadn’t said much to my parents about the wedding oher than when and where it was so I didn’t know sue was involved in the planning.

“Yes. You really should talk to your parents more Cayden,” she said. I paused because I realized she was right. She talked to my mom more than I did. “Sorry, I don’t know why I said that.”

“No you right,” I said.

“Why don’t you let your dad help you find your suit this weekend while we’re gone?” She suggested.

“I’ll ask him,” I decided. She started taking the chicken out with tongs and putting it on a platter. She brought it over to the island and it was looking golden and crispy.

“Here you go baby,” she said, kissing my cheek. “I’m gonna go pack.”

“Okay,” I said, grabbing a piece of chicken. Once I was eating I wasn’t thinking about nothing else. Her fried chicken could change your life.

rotations. (zuko x f!reader) pt15

hehehe hiiii thank you so much for reading!! i hope you guys enjoyed the last part and this one! :) this one is more of a filler chapter!! we’ll get back to the good stuff in the next one :D

pt1

pt14

pt16

“I wanted to say sorry, again. When I left the Fire Nation, I didn’t want to see you because I didn’t want to see your disappointment. I was worried that maybe your father had said something that had made you change your mind about me.”

(Y/N) had taken time bathing herself that night. The houses of the royal families were incredibly elaborate, so each room had its own bathroom. The water that ran from the taps was cold, since usually there was at least one firebending servant that would run around to heat the water. That night, (Y/N) was the firebending servant for her friends. Once she had heated everyone’s water, she trudged up the stairs to her own bathroom and began preparing her bath.

It had been a long time since she had had a bubblebath. Luckily, she remembered where the servants used to put the soap and added an outrageous amount of hot water in the tub. Once the bubbles were to her liking, she slid inside and released a content sigh.

The events of the day had eased the turmoil in her heart. While she was still recovering from the hurt that Zuko had caused her, the anger had subsided tremendously. (Y/N) could feel the tension that had been in her muscles ever since Zuko joined their group ease away as the hot water seeped into her skin.

She didn’t know how long she had been in there, but the moon was high by the time she stepped out to dry herself off. She took one of the fluffy robes from the closet and wrapped herself in it. It felt a bit stiff, like it hadn’t been worn in a while, but it gave her some comfort. It reminded her of home.

A knock resounded against the wood door to her bedroom. Quickly, she opened it, revealing Zuko standing awkwardly in the hallway.

“Oh,” she said. “Hi.” She still felt guilty from their fight earlier. She had gotten so angry and lost control, something she had never done before. She felt no better than the Fire Lord himself.

“Hi,” Zuko said. He looked past her and into her room. “I noticed you picked your old room.”

“Yeah, it’s the only one that felt comfortable.” She gave Zuko a weak smile. “Don’t tell Aang that he’s in Azula’s.”

Zuko laughed his raspy, beautiful laugh. (Y/N’s) heart felt uncomfortable in her chest. Like it had grown too big.

“It’s weird,” she continued. “Being back here. Everything was so different the last time I was here.”

“Yeah,” Zuko agreed. “I know the feeling.” She knew that the last time he had been here was when he was still with Mai. He had visited the island with her, Azula, and Ty Lee. A reunion had happened, of sorts. Minus (Y/N). “Can I...come in?”

She nodded, stepping to the side. He walked directly to the chair in front of the vanity, which was all the way across the room from where she would go to sit on her bed. The distance between them felt like miles.

“My father could never do that, Zuko.”

“I know. And I think back then, I knew that too. But then I saw you with the Avatar, and we didn’t have the reunion that I wanted. It just made me so mad that you were fighting with the person that was preventing me from going home. I was so angry after we would fight. I felt like you were picking him over me. Then in Ba Sing Se, when you came to visit, I know I didn’t look like it, but I was so happy that day. But then underneath the palace, you were fighting against Azula and I. I had worked it into my head that you and Uncle were traitors. The entire time that I was back home and you were in prison, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had done something wrong. I walked around the halls of the palace and it all felt fake, like something was missing. Now I realize that I had been wrong about everything. While I know it doesn’t excuse it, I wanted to tell you again how sorry I am.”

(Y/N) blinked at him. She wasn’t quite sure what to say. Never in a million years would the Zuko she knew have expressed his thoughts so clearly. A lot had happened to them, to the both of them, since they had last been together like this. He had grown and changed into someone who learned from his mistakes and sought to rectify his wrongs. She hadn’t let herself see that when he first joined them.

“I forgive you.” Her voice was soft, but her gaze was piercing. Zuko felt like she was staring straight into his soul. “I’m sorry for being so mean to you when you first got here.”

“You had every right to be.”

“I didn’t, though. Even when I was at my angriest with you, I couldn’t truly believe that you were evil. Believe me, I tried. Everything that you did to hurt my friends and I should’ve made me hate you, but it didn’t. I think that it made me mad that I couldn’t fully be mad at you.” She bent her head down and looked at her hands. “I should have never, ever challenged you to an Agni Kai, Zuko. I was just so upset and once I started saying it, I just couldn’t stop. I would never actually want to hurt you.”

“I know, (Y/N).” They stood at the same time. “It’s nice to be here. With you. When I was here before it felt...” He trailed off, leaving his sentence incomplete.

She smiled. “As surprising as this sounds, it’s good to be back.” Zuko smiled.

“I’ll uh, be in my room if you need me.” She nodded, shutting the door behind him as he walked out. She dressed in her pajamas and crawled into bed, turning on the side to face the empty wall. If she pretended hard enough, she was a kid again. Life was easy and all she had to worry about was mastering her newest firebending move.

When she came downstairs the next day, Sokka was practically begging the entire group to go see a play about their lives. “C’mon!” He said. “It’ll be fun. We deserve to live a little!”

And while the last thing (Y/N) wanted was to watch a play about herself, she came along anyway. It would be a lot better than sitting in the beach house by herself. The old memories that came flooding back whenever she turned a corner were too much sometimes.

Despite coming to the island nearly every summer when she was younger, (Y/N) had never been to the theater. Her father and Zuko’s were always far too busy to deal with such frivolous things (meaning their children).

They had chosen balcony seating, but who to sit next to was a serious question that was bothering (Y/N). The only open seats were by either Zuko and Sokka and while her relationships were improving with both, she wasn’t sure if she could spend two hours sat next to them. So she grabbed Aang by the shoulders and shoved him down into the seat next to Zuko. She took her own seat on the other side of Aang.

“Thank you,” She whispered to him as the lights dimmed. Aang furrowed his brows in confusion and then shrugged.

At the start of the play, (Y/N) was enjoying herself. Aang’s actor portrayed him as an idealistic child, which made her laugh. Katara’s character was always wailing about hope and Sokka’s was a bit cringy, but so was Sokka. But then, her character appeared on-stage.

The actress portraying her tripped over her baggy Earth Kingdom clothes as she stumbled into Sokka’s character. “Wow,” Fake (Y/N) swooned, her eyes wide. “You’re so handsome!”

(Y/N) shrank into her seat, hiding her face from her friends as they turned to look at her.

“I live an amazing life up in my father’s mansion in this city. I have everything I could have ever asked for, but I am very selfish!” Her character smiled and put her hands on her hips. “That’s why I’ve decided to betray the Fire Nation and help the Avatar!”

The audience booed at her. Throughout the rest of the play, all her character did was cry over how unfairly she had been treated by her nation. “And then!” Her character exclaimed. “They gave me bananas instead of the apples I had ordered from the servants!” Fake (Y/N) burst into tears. She did that a lot.

When her character and Zuko’s encountered each other, her character burst into tears again. “Zuko! My one true love, who was taken away from me by the wretched Fire Nation! I am so happy to see you!” Her character leaned in for a kiss, but he pushed her face away.

“I don’t talk to traitors!” Zuko’s character declared. This made Fake (Y/N) cry even harder.

“Why--doesn’t--h-he---want--m-me?” Her character said between sobs.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes and was so thankful when intermission arrived. She was the first out of her seat and waited outside the theater for her friends.

“Wow!” Sokka said as he exited the theater. “That play’s amazing. So accurate! Except, my guy could use a few pointers.”

“Accurate?” Katara scoffed, crossing her arms. “I beg to differ. My character is nothing like me.”

“Sure,” Toph snorted.

“I agree with Katara,” (Y/N) said, her face contorted into a frown. “I’m not anything like that character.”

“Are you sure about that?” Toph asked with a smirk. (Y/N) punched her in the arm, her face turning red as she glanced at Zuko. He gave her a small smile.

The play was all lies and she knew that. It took the most exciting parts of their adventures and amplified them for the stage. She knew she didn’t cry that much and she certainly had never called Zuko her one true love. Not out loud, at least.

rotations. (zuko x f!reader) pt10

hello and welcome back!! thank you so much for reading :) i apologize for not being as active today as i have been most days! i work from home and they had me doin a lot of stuff ! nevertheless, here’s another chapter !! pls share if you can!!

pt 1

pt 9

pt 11

“Look who it is,” the princess hummed, smirking down at her. The rocks were removed from (Y/N)’s mouth. She coughed and spit out the dirt that had accumulated on her tongue. “You’re quite bold to think that I wouldn’t know you were here. I have eyes everywhere.”

When it came time for her friends to go their separate ways, (Y/N) had a difficult decision to make. She certainly couldn’t go home, and she couldn’t accompany Toph to visit her mom or go with Aang to learn from Guru Pathik. She had to pick which Water Tribe sibling she would stay with. Would she go with Sokka and join him and his father’s forces? Or would she stay with Katara and help advise the Earth King on the war effort?

She knew that if she went with Sokka, it would be for selfish reasons. While she would undoubtedly provide useful information about the Fire Nation to the men of his tribe, that wouldn’t be the reason why she went with him. During their stay in Ba Sing Se, their relationship had...changed. She couldn’t quite define it, but when Sokka walked into a room, the atmosphere changed. She felt her body relax. She felt safe again.

But she couldn’t leave Katara by herself. The girl was fully capable of running war meetings by herself, but it just didn’t sit right with (Y/N) to leave her alone. And she always trusted her intuition.

So she stayed, which turned out to be the right decision in the end. Who they thought were Kyoshi warriors were actually Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in disguise. She watched their confrontation from behind a pillar in the throne room of the Earth King’s palace. While every fiber of her being wanted to rush and rescue Katara, she knew she had to be smart about this. There was no way she would be able to defeat Azula on her own, and someone had to remain free in order to rescue Katara in case Aang, Sokka, and Toph didn’t make it back in time.

(Y/N) stepped away from the pillar slowly, turning to make a run for it. Her face immediately smacked into a Dai Li’s chest. Before she could even react, his special rock gloves were clamped around her wrists and mouth. He dragged her to the middle of the throne room and tossed her to the ground in front of Azula.

(Y/N) remained silent, casting her eyes toward Katara. A plan was slowly forming in her mind and she tried her best to communicate it through her eyes. Katara stared at her with brows furrowed in confusion. All (Y/N) could think to do was shoot her a wink and hope that she’d remember it.

“I was very upset when I found out that you had betrayed your nation, (Y/N),” Azula said. She walked circles around (Y/N), like a sabertooth moose lion stalking its prey. “If my father were here, he would have ended your life already.”

“So why don’t you?” (Y/N) asked. “I’m right here. I can’t fight you. Just do it.”

Azula’s eyes met hers, and for a moment, (Y/N) thought she had seen a glimmer of sadness in them. In an instant, it was gone. She turned to the guards and her two friends. “Imprison the Water Tribe girl. I’d like to speak with (Y/N) privately.”

She watched silently as the Dai Li dragged Katara away. The two girls stared at each other, and all (Y/N) could say to her friend was, “Don’t worry!”

The rocks that had bound her wrists came undone and she jumped to her feet, ready for the battle she sensed was coming. Instead, Azula turned away and walked up to the throne, taking her seat. She had to admit, Azula looked like she belonged there. Ever since they were young, she knew that Azula was powerful. But she also knew that she was power-hungry and would do anything for her own gain.

“I wanted to present a proposition to you.” Azula studied her nails nonchalantly. “You come back with me to the Fire Nation. I convince Father that you were gaining the Avatar’s trust to gain his secrets. I tell him that you have been my point of contact throughout my conquering of Ba Sing Se. You come back home as a hero.”

She opened her mouth to immediately say no, but she stopped herself. “What’s in it for you?” She asked instead.

Azula looked down at her. “I have you back. We’re a happy family.” She laughed as if she herself didn’t even believe it. “You provide me with the intelligence I need to take down the Avatar.”

“And if I don’t?”

“You spend the rest of your life in prison. It’s not a hard choice, is it?”

(Y/N) looked down at the ground. She knew this was one of those moments that would change her course in life. She was at a crossroads and could feel herself being torn in each direction.

“This isn’t one of your tricks, is it, Azula?”

The young princess’ face softened as she stared at her old friend. So much had changed since the last time they had spent a moment alone together. Azula thought of that moment often. Of how she had hugged (Y/N) tightly before she boarded her ship to the Earth Kingdom and had to hold back her tears until she got back to her room, or else Father would punish her. She spent a lot of time thinking about (Y/N), more than she would like.

“It’s not,” Azula said quietly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The expressions on Katara and Aang’s faces as she entered the underground palace with Azula made her heart hurt. Even Iroh looked gravely disappointed in her. She wished she had had time to explain herself to them, but she didn’t. Azula was moving in on Aang as the Dai Li started attacking Katara. Zuko stood a few paces away from herself and Azula. His sister had offered him a similar choice, but she wasn’t sure which path he would choose. She could see the turmoil written on his face but couldn’t see past it.

When Zuko began attacking Aang, (Y/N) knew it was her time to act. She jumped in the air and propelled herself over to Katara, who was swiftly being overcome by Dai Li agents. She shot fire at the agents as they blocked her flames with earthbending.

“I thought--” Katara shouted at her, but (Y/N) smiled.

“I had to get to you guys somehow!” A blast of blue fire narrowly missed (Y/N)’s hair. She turned to find Azula standing just a few feet away, her face absolutely furious.

“You’ll regret betraying me!” The princess shouted. Instead of retaliating on (Y/N), she aimed her flames toward Aang. (Y/N) ran back over to the young boy and held Zuko off as Aang battled Azula. Despite their best efforts, the siblings and the Dai Li were impossible to take on all at once. She felt her flames grow weaker from her movements as she became more exhausted. Zuko, however, was only getting stronger. He shot fire bolt after fire bolt at (Y/N). They came so fast that she barely had time to respond. His fireblast shot her in the shoulder, sending her backwards into the cave walls.

She groaned as she struggled to get up. Wind had spiraled around them as Aang rose into the air, his eyes and tattoos glowing a brilliant white. She cracked a smile. With the Avatar State, they might actually have a chance.

Then she heard the sound that struck fear into her heart. The sharp crack of lightning reached her ears and suddenly Aang was no longer in the air. Aang fell to the ground and Katara dropped the Dai Li agents she had been fighting to rush herself to catch him. (Y/N) let out her own scream and ran to attack Azula, but the Dai Li agents sent her flying back into the cave wall with their rock gloves. She was trapped.

Katara watched as her best friend struggled against her restraints. (Y/N) looked up at her. “Go!” She shouted as tears streamed down her cheeks. “He’ll die if you stay here, you have to go!”

“I will hold them off!” Iroh said to Katara and Aang as he blasted his niece and nephew with fire. “Go, now!”

(Y/N) watched Katara escape with Aang and as Iroh was overtaken. They both exchanged a knowing look. They knew exactly what would happen to them.

rotations. (zuko x f!reader) pt9

hello!! welcome back :) thank you guys so much for reading this story, it really truly means the world to me! this is one of the chapters that i’ve been most excited to get to! this chapter is supposed to take place within the tales of ba sing se!

pt 1

pt 8

pt 10

Still, she couldn’t just waltz into the tea shop without a plan. The last time she had seen Zuko, he had pushed her away. She tried to remind herself that he was probably just distraught over his uncle, but there was still a part of her heart that hurt every time she replayed the scene in her mind.

A lot had happened over the course of a few weeks. They had visited an ancient library, lost Appa, crossed the Serpent’s Pass, battled a literal war machine, and had finally arrived in Ba Sing Se just a few days ago. The officials that had once been so welcoming of their arrival now made the group feel wary. Ba Sing Se was a city full of secrets, but the group wasn’t sure if they wanted to discover all of them.

While she enjoyed the company of her friends, (Y/N) was starting to feel trapped. The house they stayed in was absolutely lovely, but recently, when she lay down to fall asleep, her mind raced with thoughts of Zuko. The amount of time she wondered about what he was doing, how Iroh was, where they were now, and what she would say to him if they ever got the chance to be alone together seriously dug into her sleep schedule. She woke up each morning feeling sluggish and a little bit grumpy, but she tried her best not to make her friends aware of what was troubling her. She felt bad, constantly coming to them and talking about Zuko. She knew that it was different for them. They had always known Zuko as the enemy. And while he had started to become that for (Y/N) too, there was still a part of her that held on their past and hoped that he could change. She tried to be realistic about most things in life, but when it came to Zuko, she always hoped.

She decided one day that enough was enough. She would take a day to herself to be alone and relax. She had heard people talking about a wonderful new tea shop that had come to the city, so she decided to go there and have a nice cup to take her mind off of things.

When she arrived, she was shocked to find the very person she was trying to avoid working in the tea shop. She peered through the window of the tea shop and watched as Zuko and his uncle prepared orders for their customers. She had never imagined Zuko as a working boy and the very sight of it made her giggle. Still, she couldn’t just waltz into the tea shop without a plan. The last time she had seen Zuko, he had pushed her away. She tried to remind herself that he was probably just distraught over his uncle, but there was still a part of her heart that hurt every time she replayed the scene in her mind.

She decided to go home and lay awake again, but this time she would lie awake at night and devise a plan. She was going to have an actual conversation with Zuko, she just had to make sure it was perfect.

She returned to the shop the next day, but still couldn’t find the courage to walk inside. The same thing happened the day after that. And the day after that. What was wrong with her? She could fight skilled benders twice her size, but she couldn’t walk into a tea shop? Pathetic!

On the fifth day, she stood in front of the tea shop and wondered whether or not she should enter. But there was a reason she kept coming back, wasn’t there?

People trickled in and out of the shop happily, completely unaware that the men who were serving them were deemed traitors of the Fire Nation. She took a deep breath. She could do this. They were in public. They couldn’t turn her in to the Fire Nation without giving themselves away. She would be safe.

She entered the tea shop and quickly sat down at an empty table. She reviewed the menu. She couldn’t quite remember the last time she had had a cup of Iroh’s tea, but she remembered how good it tasted. No wonder their shop was always busy.

Her palms were sweaty as she waited to see who would come take her order: Iroh or Zuko? She wasn’t sure which one she would rather it be. She wiped her clammy hands on the new Earth Kingdom dress she had purchased the other day. Did she look nice? Why did she care about looking nice?

When Iroh finally noticed her, she also noticed the big smile on his face. Quickly, but without drawing too much attention to himself, he came over to her table.

“It’s very lovely to see you here,” he said. “What can I get you?”

“I’ll have a Jasmine tea, please,” she said, her voice small.

“Ah, Jasmine. A lovely tea. My nephew’s favorite.” She felt her face get hot.

“So I’ve heard.” Iroh smiled again.

“Lee!” He called to Zuko. “One Jasmine tea, please. And once you’ve finished, why don’t you take your break?”

(Y/N) felt herself almost burst into laughter at the fake name Zuko had claimed for himself. The Fire Nation had a billion Lees.

Zuko nodded at his uncle’s orders, not looking up from his kettle. Once her tea had been properly steeped, he move through the tables before finally reaching hers. Once their eyes met, his hands shook, knocking one of the teacups from his tray. (Y/N) quickly caught it in her hand and placed it on the table.

“Hi,” She said.

“Hi.” He set the kettle on her table and then untied his apron. He moved to leave, and she reached out to grab him before thinking better of it. She cleared her throat.

“Why don’t you sit with me?”

Zuko narrowed his eyes at her and then glanced at his uncle, who gave him a big thumbs-up. Unhappily, he pulled a chair out and sat. She poured two cups of tea in silence.

“I’m not going to tell my friends that you’re here, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

“Why should I believe you?” She shrugged.

“If you’re trying to make a new life, I don’t want to ruin it for you.”

“If you’re not here to rat me out, then why are you here?”

She took a sip of her tea. She had ran through her big speech to Zuko so many times before she arrived, but once she was actually facing him, the words slipped from her mind.

“I...I haven’t gotten to actually speak to you for a while. And I’ve wanted to. Then I found your shop one day and I kept coming back.”

“I haven’t seen you here.”

“Well, I never really came in. I had to figure out what I wanted to say to you.”

“And what would that be?”

She gave him a small smile. “I don’t really know where I’m going with this, to be honest. Whenever I see you, my chest hurts. I get sad and happy and I want to hug you but also fight you at the same time. So, I don’t really know what I’m doing here. I just felt that maybe if we talked--”

“What?” Zuko demanded. Her eyes met his. She looked at his scar and was brought back to the day of his Agni Kai against his father.

“I don’t know. I wanted to let you know that I cared about you still. Despite everything.”

This drew Zuko into a long silence. He stared at her, for a while. She was dressed in a green Earth Kingdom dress. It wasn’t the one she normally wore for her disguise. While he preferred her in red, he had to admit that she looked beautiful in any color she wore. Her (color) eyes shined with hope. Her (color) hair was loose against her back, while half of it was up in a top knot that hinted at her Fire Nation heritage.

Before he had started hunting the Avatar, the last time he had really looked at (Y/N) was when she entered his chambers before he fought his father. She had looked so scared then. She didn’t look scared now. She looked ready to face anything.

He hadn’t meant to leave the Fire Nation without saying goodbye to her. After his duel with his father and his banishment, he hadn’t wanted to see her. He didn’t want to look in her eyes and see the disappointment he so desperately feared. So he had boarded his ship and sailed away. He thought it would be easier that way. He wanted to tell her that, but he couldn’t find the words.

“I have thought about you every day for the past two years,” Zuko said quietly. She felt her eyes brimming with tears.

“I have to go,” she said. She placed a few gold coins on the table. It was far too much for a cup of tea, but she didn’t care. She leaned in close to him, like they used to when they were children. “I miss you, Zuko.”

Zuko closed his eyes. When he opened them, she was gone.
