Zuko's P.O.V.

No matter how much I try to forget her tears of pain and anger at me.

I felt so guilty for not protecting her.

The two people I cared for most in the world, I had let them down! How would I ever regain myself from this. She said that I would never be there! That I could never be there, I failed her in the time she needed me the most! How could I protect my child if I couldn't even protect her!

I was a complete disgrace and a weak person! I hated myself so much!

She said she'd never trust anyone with her life or the baby's thanks to me.

I could still hear her sobs crying out to me in pain of my failure.

The one time she needed me, the one time I was needed was the only time I couldn't come to her rescue.

My only princess was stolen away from me and I wasn't able to be her prince.

She had every right to hate and be dissapointed in me but once she said that it was my fault she started to blame herself feeling sorry for me.

"Hey what are you doing?" Zuko asked me as he came inside my room.

After the adventure with Katara we moved in to the old beach house in Ember Island. Me and Zuko shared a room as usual.

"Im writing some things and checking I have all my notes" I answered as I watched his usual sad and serious face.

"I need to talk to you" Zuko said scareing me a bit by his words.

"What is it? Did I do something? Or did someone else do something to you?" I asked.

"No it's about what you said" Zuko begain as he sat down on the floor and I got up from the desk and sat infront of him. He was starting to scare me a bit.

"What did I say? If it offended you I didn't mean it! I was just playing around so im really sorry!" I apologized not rembering anything I did bad to him.

"No you didn't offend me!" Zuko screamed at me makeing me jump a bit.

"Then what is it?" I asked him and then I regreted it.

I watched as this hard core, fearless, angry, and serious boy started to tear up and sob in my lap.

"Im so sorry! I don't know if you'll ever forgive me!" Zuko cryed out to me as I held him in my lap then helped him up. I watched his face drowning with salty tears.

"Zuko what are you talking about?" I asked completely confused.

"Im talking about when the demons took you away from me! The one time you needed me, the one time I had to be there, the one time I was supposed to be you're hero and I wasn't because I failed in saveing you!" Zuko cryed out.

He made me flinch a bit at him being like this. I had never seen Zuko like this! He rarely smiled and seeing him cry was like a once in a life time thing. He finally had shown me his pain.

"Zuko it wasn't you're fault, no one is perfect, besides that was a lesson teaching me that I can't trust others in those situations" I said.

"No!" He screamed.

"That's not true you can trust and I made you lose that trust!" Zuko cried out loud to me.

"It's my fault that you're like this! It's my fault you changed! It my fault- " Zuko stoped screaming as I kissed him.

It was the only way I could think of shuting his mouth and stop those painful tears that started to burn me. I tasted his lips. Zuko's lips drenched in tears makeing his mouth taste salty and in a strange way it tasted good.
