Wanting to be loved (Zuko)

21.

He let out a little laugh, this is probably the first time I see him laugh and I got a little smile on my face 'You should laugh more often, it suits you' I say still smiling at him. And he pushed his lips on mine and lifted me up so I stand in front of him and continued to kiss me and bit my bottom lip again and I opened my mouth. He laid his hands on my butt and I put my hands under his shirt again and let my hands go over his abs. But then I pulled away and pushed him back 'You really should go back now before someone comes in' I say and sat down in my bed. 

'Can we talk about what you said before this evening?' he asks me 'Yeah sure. I would like to know more about you. Now get out' I said with a smile on my face and gestured to the door. He nodded once and walked away and closed the door. I sighed and laid on the bed. Was it stupid what we did or not? Well I guess we'll see what happens.

I got up and did some stretches and decided I would take this opportunity to work only on my upper body since I can't walk. It was a good thing being here because I could do some work out but I rather be with my friends that's for sure. When I was done I laid back on the bed and was thinking about what to do next but then Iroh came in 'So prince Zuko was in here a long time did everything went well?' he asked and sat down on my bed. I know that if I tell Iroh he would be happy for us I guess even there was nothing going on but I decided not to tell him 'Yeah everything went well we just talked a little that's all' I answered him and he nodded.

'Do you want to come and look at my Pai Sho game? I challenged some crewmen' he laughed 'I would love to come and watch' I said smiling I liked the way Iroh played 'Well wait here and I'll get Zuko to help you get there' he said and started to walk away. I remembered what happened not even an hour ago 'No you don't have to I will manage to get there I mean I have to use it a little, right?' I said as an excuse but he believed me and I carefully walked with him.

When we got there I got some weird looks from the crewmen but I ignored them 'Get the young lady a chair please' Iroh asked one of the men and after he gave me another weird look he went away and returned with a chair and put it down next to the Pai Sho table 'Thank you' I said to him and he gave me an even weirder look. I didn't like the Fire Nation but I'm not rude when someone did something for me even when asked.

As I sat down so did the other men and focused on Iroh. The game began and then Zuko came in and now he gave me a weird look. 'Why are you here?' he asked bored 'I am here because your uncle invited me to watch his Pai Sho game.' I said without looking up and he walked past me and talked to the lieutenant. Suddenly it got dark and a big ship was next to us. Some guards came in and said that all information about the Avatar had to be given to admiral Zhao, so he got promoted when I got back with my friends I have to tell them that Zhao is now after Aang. 

The entire time I held my head down and pretended to play Pai Sho so the guards wouldn't recognize me. Zuko saw this and got angry at them and said they had to leave his ship the men said he couldn't leave these waters and then left. After I was sure they were gone I looked up and sighed then looked at Zuko and nodded to him as a thanks. And that's when I felt it, Aang wasn't far from here. I sat up straight and looked outside as if I could see him. Zuko looked at me but I just shook my head he didn't have to know.

Zuko was outside training so I went out as well but didn't show myself. I heard Iroh talk to Zuko 'You've been training for almost an hour and you haven't give the men any orders.' He said 'Why, what does it matter. It's only a matter of time before Zhao catches the Avatar with his resources. My honor, my throne, my country I'm about to lose them all' he said and looked down. And I felt sorry for him. After diner that I eat with the crew Zuko disappeared and I had a feeling something was wrong with Aang but I couldn't place it.

So I went back to my room and tried how much I could do with my knee and after so much rest it was much better I can stand on it now. Carefully I tried to walk but that did hurt I sighed and laid back on the bed. I hope this will go over fast I'm just not the right person to sit around all day and do nothing.
