Broken Zuko x Reader

Chapter 10

One month later

Your P.O.V

You awoke to a very pale, sleep deprived, and almost starved prince holding your hand. It looked like he had slept or ate in a month and come to think of it you didn't feel like you had either. "Jesus, Zuko!" You exclaimed when you saw him your voice hoarse from lack of use and not enough water. However it still had the effect you had hoped it had thud your dearly beloved had fallen out of his chair in the least graceful way possible. When he saw you were awake and that he wasn't imagining it he popped right back up and took you in his arms. He told you just how much he had missed you and how much he loved you. "Zuko?" You asked. This wasn't like him. He blushed as he dropped you back in bed. He backed away and tripped over the chair he had fallen out of earlier; This time he didn't get up though he just looked down and apologized. "How long have I been out? You're acting strange." You questioned not bothered at all about how he plunked you on your bed, because even though you were dropped, all feelings were concern for this fiery prince and what your injured state must have done to him."a month" he mumbled still looking away from you almost angrily. "eh?" Was the only thing you had to offer "A WHOLE FREAKING MONTH I SAT AND WATCHED YOU IN A SLUMBER LIKE DEATH!" He scream suddenly furious "ALL BECAUSE I WASN'T QUICK ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU!!" He was about to continue but you cut him off angry that he was blaming himself. By then everyone had gathered in your room their eyes wide as if they were watching a very dangerous circus act. "NO!" You scream right back "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE BLAME YOURSELF FOR THE ACTIONS OF AZULA AND I!!" Your voice flying higher like a bird on the run.... Fly?.... Whatever. Now he was pissed "YOU?! BULL. SHIT. THIS WAS YOUR FAULT!" And like that you guys were arguing over each other voices rising until Katara (bless her soul) cut in demanding that you both lie down. She had Aang and Sokka fetch food and water for the two angry love birds. When the males left in terror of Kat she asked you to raise your shirt so she could look at your side. You obeyed eyeing the sore scar "Just another one to add to my collection." You thought with a sigh. "What's up?" Katara asked worried for your health "I'm just thinking about how strange it I that I was out for a whole flipping month for a bit of a burn when I have had so much worse and still managed to get up the next day." Her eyes softened"Because this time you felt like more than your life was at stake. You felt like it was your whole universe A.K.A Zuko that was on the line, and those weren't stakes you were willing to bet. Your mind shutdown after the battle so that it could repair itself so next time you'll be ready." She finished with a smirk. You groaned "I never want this situation to present itself to me ever again" she laughed "HAHAHAHA! YOU JOINED THE MOST DANGEROUS GROUP IN THE WORLD! WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?!" You gave her a glare as you crossed your arms "hmph." The boys returned with their items and you were forced to assume Zuko went to bed with all the snoring going on as you inhaled your food. Shortly after you went back to bed tossing and turning with all the thoughts running through your head.
