A/n: "I'M BACK IN THE FVCKING BUILDING"
synopsis: you and Zuko don't really show much of your relationship in public until today.
Masterlist
Firelord Zuko Masterlist
The council room had gone silent far quicker than you had imagined.
The only audible sounds were brushes sliding across parchment and the occasional groan from the Fire Lord sitting beside you.
You watched how his brows pinched together, lips pressed into a thin line with his chin resting on his palm. Strands of hair falling over his amber eyes that were still fixed on the scroll in front of him.
"You know you're going to get permanent frowning wrinkles if you stay like that forever." You teased, fingers gently grazing over his scar.
Zuko let out a low chuckle, tilting his head slightly to lean into your touch. "I don't doubt I already have them."
"Oh really?" you asked, leaning in closer.
Slowly, Zuko turned his head, his gaze lifting to meet yours. But before he could say anything, your lips brushed against his - quick and simple. Just enough for his warmth to faintly linger.
When you pulled back just enough to see him, you couldn't help but laugh harder than before.
Zuko - who had been focused on the paperwork before him a moment ago - was now staring at you; eyes wide, face flushed and a hand covering his mouth as a finger traced his lips.
"I thought you didn't like doing that in public," he muttered, confusion written on his face.
"Well," you started, still grinning from ear to ear. "I can't have you looking mad all the time now can I."
He paused for a moment, smiling before closing the distance between you two. Cupping your face as his lips melted onto yours, soft and careful not to over do it. Whispering against your lips:
Meanwhile the guards who are watching from the door:
Guard A:"Do you think they're going to kiss in the council room more often now?"
Guard B who is disgusted by the Firelord but can't admit it:"I pray to the avatar that it's just a one time thing."
