I know that I usually write these as a gift for her. But she went through the trouble of doing a commotion for me (and I’m absolutely great full and I absolutely love it.) so I wanted to do the same for her. I really hope you like it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They were tired, both equally exhausted from the tremendous day they had. Trying to redo history in a different way was exhausting, trying to fix what the fire nation damaged years ago was tiring and Zuko being the new fire lord and having to deal with assassinations was horrible.
Aang feared for him. Scared to leave his side once he found out, Zuko of course regrets telling the Avatar about his little ‘friends’. Because once Aang found out, he demanded to stay at the palace so he could be close to Zuko if anything were to happen, it’s not like Aang didn’t trust Zuko's guards… okay maybe he didn’t a little they just seem to slack, is all.
Zuko sighed at the memory of his Best Friend face the amount of seriousness on it. So he did, he gave Aang a room. Since then Aang has been Zuko's Chaperon to all his meetings, even the ones that didn’t deal with them having to come up with an idea how to bring peace to all the nations. This meeting lasted from early morning to late evening and Zuko was beyond tired.
The Fire lord stood in front of his window watching as the evening sun set his gold eyes glimmering at the light. The sunset reminded him of a certain someone. It was relaxing. The air was calm and soothing. The smell of dinner filled the fire nation. The flowers in the garden looked as if they were glowing. Zuko's heart filled with sudden pride watching as the sun slowly disappeared, a light knock coming from the door, “Business?.” He called out.
“It’s Aang…. are you decent?.” He almost sounded childlike.
Zuko slightly smiled at the sound of Aangs voice “Yes Aang, I’m decent.”
The double door creaked open announcing the monk entering.
Zuko didn’t need to look over to know Aang was standing beside him; he could just feel the energy radiating off the boy. Silence remained between the two, it was a comforting silence it wasn’t one of those awkward silences that would happen between himself and Sokka.
“You know you don’t have to watch over me right?.”
“And you know you don’t have to go through this alone right?.”
Zuko rolled his eyes half heartedly
They both glance at each other, both gentlemen laughing stopping a moment or two. Zuko could feel his cheeks flushed, his heart beating in his ears.
“Aang… I’m serious though, you really don’t have to watch over me. You can’t let my problems hold you back from your duties as the avatar. I can’t have you to myself buddy.”
Zuko didn’t miss the way Aang's cheeks turned pink shrugging his shoulders “nothing…”
Zuko slightly Glared at the airbender “Alright fine.” He huffed.
“I know Aang but you can’t protect everyone.”
“I can try to protect you though…” Aang said quietly Zuko felt their fingers brush together. Aang not hesitating to fully grab his hand “I know you probably think you’re not worth protecting, but you are Zuko. I don’t want to leave and then you’re—.”
“Dead?.” Zuko questioned slightly smiling
“That you’re no longer here with us.” Aang sighed.
“I’ll never forgive myself if something happened to you while I was gone. It’s bad enough the room you gave me is far from you.”
Zuko chuckled “Aang that’s the closest one to it.”
“Aang if something were to happen to me—.”
“I said if, If anything was to happen to me just know it wasn’t because of you I have guards for a reason.”
Before Zuko could say anything else Aang pulled him sideways kissing Zuko on the cheek catching the fire lord off guard letting him go after a second. Zuko's eyes were wide as he looked at Aang.
“I—I’m sorry it’s just I, I know I should’ve probably told you 2 weeks ago but I— well… I kinda sorta— like y—.”
Zuko gently turns Aang towards him, placing a hand on the Avatar's cheek, smiling down at him, brushing his lips against his. “It’s okay.” He whispered, pressing his lips against his feeling his cheeks heat up beneath his palm. Slowly pulling away.
The two just stared at each other for a while till Aang spoke up shyly.
“More than you’ll ever know.”
I know it might suck as hell sweetheart but I tried. I love you gorgeous really hope I did it some justice. 🥰🥰🥰
