After the war, everyone stayed in Ba Sing Se before returning to their lives. It was a time where everyone recuperated, was reunited with loved ones, and celebrated your cousin, the Avatar's, victory. The celebration lasted for several weeks and you could hardly keep up. During the last few days, there was a grand ball hosted by King Kuei.
Everyone was dressed so elegantly in fancy gowns and robes and headdresses. You were dressed in a simple yet elegant gown. Everyone was allowed to bring a plus one to the party. You went alone but you were excited to see Aang again. You haven't gotten much of a chance to see him after the War. You were also anxious to see Zuko whom you befriended and gotten close with. The party was beautiful and everyone was dancing, eating, and having a great time. You sat with Aang and Katara and talked.
"So how have been things for you guys? No more conflict so not you just have time for yourselves," you asked Aang as you took a drink of sweet jasmine tea.
"Things have been wild. I haven't gotten any time for myself really. But I did go back to Kiyoshi Island to ride the giant koi. You should have seen me, Bliss! It was amazing," Aang said as he made hand gestures. You giggled as you heard your nickname.
"So Y/n, how have things been going for you? Zuko ask you out yet," Katara asked with a smirk. Your face turned red.
"What," you asked baffled. "No! Of course not. We're just really good friends. Besides, he doesn't like me like that," you finished. Katara continued to tease you and you only got redder. Then a song started to play and it was a slower song.
"Hey wanna go dance," Aang asked as he stood. You looked at him and smiled.
"You and Katara go ahead. I'll watch."
"You sure Bliss? You and Aang can dance if you want and I'll just watch," Katara offered. You shook your head and insisted they went dancing. After about a minute of arguing, they both caved in and went dancing. As the dance went on, you heard a voice off to your side.
"May I have this dance?" You looked up and it was the Prince crowned Fire Lord himself. You smiled at him and took his hand.
"Of course. Lead the way," you said. He pulled you up and led you to the dance floor. Once you both found a spot, he put an arm around your waist and pulled you close. You put your free hand on his shoulder and Zuko began to lead. You both glided gracefully on the dancefloor. You looked into Zuko's eyes and smiled.
"What is it," he asked.
"You are an excellent dancer Zuko." He chuckled and looked down at his feet before looking back at you.
"Well thank you, Bliss. You aren't so bad yourself. But you're always light on your feet," he commented. You laughed as you put your forehead to his shoulder. You eventually wrapped both arms around his neck and just looked at him while you both danced. He gazed into your beautiful eyes and couldn't help but smile. "Hey, there's something I've gotta tell you. I've been meaning to tell you for a while now." You tilted your head to the side.
"Of course what is it," you asked. His face immediately went pale. When he went to open his mouth, no sound came out.
"I-I like you Y/n. Like with a burning passion. I couldn't stop thinking about you since you saved me from getting killed by my sister. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is your beautiful smile." Your heart fluttered. Your face heated up as your cheeks turned a soft red.
"Zuko..." you started but he cut you off.
"Look I know that this is so sudden and childish but that's just how I feel. I want you Y/n. I want you in my life. I just don't know what I would do if..." Then you cut him off by pressing your lips to his. When you pulled away, his cheeks were red as well.
"Zuko, I like you too. Don't be afraid okay?" He smiled as he leaned over and kissed you again.
"I love you my Bliss," he said against your lips. You smiled at him.
"I love you too my Lord," you said before smiling into a new kiss.
