𝕀𝕞𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕖 | Aang and Y/N are siblings who share powers, but Y/N was hidden from the Four Nation’s eyes to avoid the possibility of their separation. Then, Zuko meets the flamboyant and flirtatious Y/N for the first time at the Western Air Temple where he attempts to join the tight-knit Gaang.
Zuko flopped over to fully face Y/N and grasped their wrist with a strong grip. Y/N was caught off guard, yelping as he yanked it close to his chest. Their faces hovered over each other’s, noses just inches apart.
The fast pace of shuffling shoes from outside the bedroom reached Zuko’s ears, causing him to loosen the grip on Y/N’s wrist. To his surprise, they didn’t pull away. Their eyes still hovered over his, holding their gaze as unspoken truths were laid out before them. The golden irises of Zuko reflected the morning light coming in from the carved window. A look that undoubtedly made Y/N want to shrink away.
Y/N could feel Zuko’s pulsating heartbeat beneath the hand they placed firmly over his chest to steady themself from the dizzying feeling that he casted over them. Y/N’s breath picked up, tickling his eyelashes.
Zuko wanted to blink and look away from the rising embarrassment, but he couldn’t bring himself to. His gaze fluttered down to Y/N’s soft lips, slightly agape. With a gentle hand, he smoothened the pad of his thumb over their chin. Allowing himself to feel the bare skin that warmed up his fingers.
Y/N felt a tug on the nape of their neck, an invitation for something forbidden, but never will be forgotten. He pulled them down gently, giving Y/N time to pull away if they wanted to. There was not a single hint of refusal or denial, allowing them to feel a sensation of a new yet familiar warmth that washed over their lips.
The contact emitted a gentle flickering flame, slowly but surely trickling through every part of their shared sensation. A gentle push and pull that drew out between their lips. A swirling feeling that made the thoughts of tomorrow a haze, only concentrating on today.
Only feeling the excitement of their beating hearts right now.
A deep hue sprinkled over Y/N’s cheeks, relentlessly growing darker as they pressed on a little longer. Their warm hand hovered over Zuko’s cheek, unsure if he wanted their touch. He pressed it down quietly giggling to himself.
For someone so cocky and flirty, who knew this would be their first kiss? Zuko thought.
“Ooo! Y/N’s getting some-” Sokka squealed. “Ow! Hey, let go!”
With a face contorted in annoyance, Katara dragged in Sokka by the ear. A vice grip that threatened to pull off a part of him.
Y/N, with a flustered face, stumbled as Zuko shoved them forward a little too hard. He slammed his head down onto the pillow and drew the thinning blanket over his reddening face.
Y/N cleared their throat, refusing to meet their gaze.
“So-” They dwindled their thumbs, attempting to avert their attention from the scene they just walked into.
Katara pinched the bridge of her nose, “THE ONE THING I ASK OF YOU!”
Y/N took sudden interest to the cracking concrete. “You didn’t blatantly say to not kiss Zuko…”
Sokka snorted quietly, earning a twist to the ear from his sister. Y/N glared at him now only realizing who the fucking tattle-tale was. Their eyes met for a fraction of a second.
Sokka stuck his tongue out in return.
“Anyways! Where’s Toph and Aang?”
Two pairs of shuffling feet made their way to the rest of the Gaang. The pair’s chests heaved as if they’d been trying to catch up with a furious looking Katara and horror-stricken Sokka.
Toph rested her hand on the bedroom opening, Aang gripping her shoulder to balance his swirling head.
“Present!” Toph shouted. Aang hummed in approval.
“Y/N, don’t try to change the subject!” Katara let go of Sokka, who rubbed his reddening ear.
Zuko allowed everything to play out, a pang of guilt hit him as he realized that he was still under the sheet, allowing Y/N to take the embarrassment head on. He admired this about them, despite the consequences, their mind is only set on finding a way out of a situation that was getting out of hand. But, to Zuko’s dismay, he was partially responsible for this.
Aang caught the nervous look in them. He jutted his thumb behind him.
Zuko’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“Leave while you still can!” Aang whispered a little too loudly. Katara whipped his head back to glare at him, giving her an apologetic smile.
“Good job, Twinkle-Toes,” Toph hissed and elbowed his stomach.
Zuko couldn’t take the suffocating tension, more so awkwardness hanging about in the air.
He cleared his throat. “Well, now that everyone is here…”
Y/N took a few careful steps back, already knowing the reaction of the Gaang .
“I won’t be much help to the Avatar,” He finished.
Toph pointed up a finger. “Correction, Avatars”
The room stood still, everyone was stunned from the reveal.
Zuko propped himself up, slowly sitting. “H-Huh?”
Toph shrugged her shoulders. “He was gonna find out eventually and plus, I thought he already realized that after yesterday.”
He swung his legs down to the floor to stabilize himself. He looked around him, finally resting his gaze over to Y/N’s tilted head.
“C-Could someone fill me in?”
Y/N clasped their hands behind them and made their way to Zuko whose face was buried in his palms.
“Well, fellow hotman.” Y/N plucked a stray piece of Zuko’s black locks and tucked it behind his ear. He looked up and was met with the annoyingly confident smirk that they always held around him.
“While you were out cold, or should I say hot because fire was surrounding you… Aang and I went into the Avatar state.”
His eyebrows furrowed deeply. “But how-”
Y/N put their pointer finger against Zuko’s lips. “Ssh, ssh. Listen!”
“Because I am the second Avatar!” Y/N pressed their nose to Zuko’s. A small boop!, accompanied by a giggle escaped their lips.
He leaned back and clawed his nose. “A lifetime with two… How is that even possible?”
Y/N formed a circle with one hand and a pointer finger with the other. “Well, when you have a female and male-”
Aang interrupted, “OKAY! What did you have to tell us?” He pushed his way through the door and stood next to his sibling.
For once, Zuko felt small under his gaze. Aang did so with no intention to intimidate him, but after all that the Fire Prince has done to them, he least he could do was show them the art of the uncontrollable. But now, for the first time, he had no direction in his life.
Zuko started off with a more or less steady royal life. He was treated with respect by the utmost powerful leaders of the nations to the lowly peasants that traversed through the streets of Ba Sing Se. Then, off he went to capture the Avatar for his father. A jaw-clenching chore that made him into the fool he was today. Easily swayed by the emotions he propelled himself. Zuko was bent this way and that by the people around him.
The only time he fully trusted his emotions in the hands of another was with Uncle Iroh. A respectable man who he wished he could call his own Father. Iroh became a mediator between Zuko’s outburst of emotions and the things he desired most.
And at this moment, he wanted, no, needed the feeling of being loved and return it.
Zuko gulped, struggling to the find the right words to relay an unnerving message,
“The so-called firebender can’t bend his own shit! Puff the Magic Dragon could destroy more than Zuko can at this rate,” Sokka pipped up.
Katara gasped, “EVEN AFTER YESTERDAY?”
Zuko groaned and placed his face down into his palms once again, “Can everyone stop referring to YESTERDAY? All of you are saying it as if I remember!”
Everyone became silent, save for a few defeated sighs.
Zuko felt the mattress dip under him, he craned his neck to the side to see Y/N’s eyes suddenly perk up with delight.
“SOKKA’S RIGHT!” Y/N shouted.
“Wow, Y/N. Event that’s a little too mean for me,” Sokka’s eyebrows shot up.
Toph caught on. “No, no, listen. Zuko needs to go back to the original source of firebending.”
Zuko muttered under his breath, “Dragons.”
Y/N smirks and bumped his shoulders with him.
