Love is a Flame (Zuko x Aang enemies to loves)

Stolen Love- Aang POV

My body is limp against my chains, and my breathing is ragged. I must've only been here for twenty four hours, but it feels like forever. Because I've lost.

I hope Katara and Sokka haven't tried to come after me, it isn't safe, they wouldn't make it.

"Stop looking so pitiful Avatar you're almost making me feel bad," Zuko mocks, smirking and leaning against the door frame.

I turn away, refusing to satisfy him with a response. He doesn't seem happy with my defiance as he stalks closer to the bars of my confinement.

"Where's that fighting spirit now? I figured you'd at least try to fight?"

I roll my eyes and turn away as best I can. Maybe if I keep ignoring him he'll leave me alone.

The loud whine of the rusted cell door echoes loudly in the room as he swings it open. Coughs escape my throat trying to evade the dust he kicks up when his boots hit the ground.

"If you're not happy, I'll simply never forgive myself," he drawls, each word dripping in sarcasm.

I scoff, finally looking up at the smirking banished prince. His eyes glimmer with amusement, and he doesn't break eye contact.

"How lucky am I the great Avatar will grace me with such a stare,"

A disbelieving laugh leaves me, and I finally respond,
"Rot in hell."

"I suppose I'll be seeing you there once my father has his hands on you. I'm sure he has plans beyond the imaginations of others," his bemused response resonates throughout the room.

The truth of what he's said strikes me at my core, and suddenly, a small, selfish part of me is hoping Katara and Sokka come for me. As much as I try to dismiss it, I'm terrified. And I miss them.

Zuko continues speaking, "I'm glad you're finally speaking though. I was starting to feel like I was talking to myself."

"Though," he resumes with a half-hearted laugh, "Isn't that what I've been doing for the past three years of banishment?"

And just like that I almost feel bad. I know he isn't worth the pain, but when I look at him, in this small amount of vulnerability he can't seem to stop himself from showing. I see who he could've been.
