Once again, it's midnight, so here's the last midnight update. Since school is starting for me in five days from now on Thursday nights around this time, I'll be sleeping, so chapter updates will still be on Fridays, just probably when I come home from the bus stop at 3:30 or later.
On another note, this is just another shipping chapter before things start getting a little more serious, with the rebellion coming up some seriousness and strategy will slowly start to merge with this otherwise romantic storyline. But there still will be romance, so don't worry, and there are still a couple more romantically involved chapters coming up.

Chapter Seventeen: Of Many Goodbyes
Mai woke up that morning and smiled when she saw Zuko right beside her.
"Morning," he whispered, already awake. She yawned in response, remembering that she didn't get much sleep the previous night, though it calmed her to know why. She brushed some of his growing hair from his forehead and kissed it tenderly before scooting closer to him.
"Morning," she finally voiced. "How long have you been up?"
"Just about fifteen minutes I suppose?"
"I would say it's creepy to watch me sleep, but I say that line is probably way over done for mornings like these." A laugh rumbled in his chest, and Mai nuzzled against it.
"Always like you to be sarcastic even on mornings like these." He looked out the window to see where the sun was in the sky, it seemed to be about almost noon. "I guess we've been in here a while?" Zuko mentioned nervously. He could only imagine the teasing they'd get when they finally did surface. His chin was grabbed then by Mai's familiar fingers, and she stopped when his lips where just centimeters away.
"Stop worrying about the time, it doesn't matter." She told him and began to place feathery kissed on his lips, just to taunt him. He shivered when her hands slid down his back, slowly. Just at the right pace to drive him insane.
"I know what you're getting at, you know." Zuko told her, half serious and half teasing.
"Then stop beating around the bush." She said with a twinkle in her eye that made Zuko stop thinking all together. And he kissed her.

Later that afternoon everyone seemed to be either packing or saying good-bye when Zuko and Mai finally decided to wash up and come out of the dark.
