Hotheaded ~Prince Zuko~

~2~ Zuko Gets His Ass Beat.

(First person POV)

I woke up and went to the top of the ship, seeing Zuko training with a crew member and his uncle instructing him on what to do and how to do it. Honestly it had become a repeated process, he trained every day to become stronger to face the avatar. Needless to say I don't think the avatar exists anymore, we've been searching for years and yet nothing had proven that the avatar exists. 

As I walked closer Zuko noticed me "Come train with me y/n." he asked, well it actually seemed to be a demand but either way I shook my head no. "I'm not feeling quite well today, maybe next time." it was a lie, just another excuse to stop me from seeing how cold and shallow my best friend had become.

Zuko didn't like that, he's starting to catch on, "you've said that for the past week y/n! why are you avoiding me?" he seemed hurt, but I just continued to walked so I can sit next to Iroh. As I sit next to the old man he holds out a cup "Would you like some tea?" he asked. I simply nodded and he poured some for me. "I think Zuko is starting to notice you ignoring him, he's been asking me about it, so why are you avoiding him?" I sighed and looked at Iroh then to Zuko "he's just so different, he's no longer the young boy I once knew, he seems so focused on the avatar that he's forgotten who he is.. I just hate to see him like that.. you know?" Iroh nodded "I see it too, but you must understand where he is coming from, just give him some more time and i'm sure it'll prove that he means well." I huffed knowing Iroh was right.

I stood up and faced Iroh "you're right, i'll guess i'll go kick his butt in training then! Thanks for the tea Iroh!" Iroh laughed as I walked away. I walked up to Zuko and tapped him, he turned to face me and I smiled "I think i'm feeling better, now I think its time to show you how to properly train!" I said tauntingly

Zuko smirked "You're on." was the only thing he said before kicking fire at me, which I barely dodged "That's not fair! I wasn't ready!" I yelled as I punched fire at him, it went like this for a while, both of us getting small hits on the other, as I studied his movements I thought up a plan to take him down. As he dodged a blast of fire I sent towards him, I created as much fire I could to create a layer of smoke, then I snuck up behind him and tackled him "Hah! I win!"

I pinned him down and smirked while he pouted silently, although I thought he was blushing I pushed it aside seeing as we were both quite literally fighting with fire, therefore making it hot. He looked up at me "you cheated, now get off of me" he basically whined, I just laughed and stood up "Oh think of the titles, 'The Prince Zuko Beaten By A Small Orphan Girl'  how amazing would that be!" I laughed and Zuko smiled 

Just as Zuko was going to respond, a bright beam of light got hold of our attention, and as the light went away Zuko said only one thing.

"The avatar is back."
