"So, how was it?"

I walk in my room after the most perfect night of my entire life, to see Wang sitting on my bed waiting for my return.

"Missed me already?" I tease.

"I don't know how I survived," he says sarcastically and smiles teasingly.

"Well... It was absolutely perfect!"

"I want details, Missy!"

"I don't kiss and tell," I say with a smirk.

"No way, you two kissed?!"

"Ok, let me start from the beginning-"

...

'Ugh, this is too much. Why did I let Wang do my makeup? We're just going for a walk!' I think to myself. 'Is this even a date? I mean, I want it to be, but the question is, does Chain?... Well, he did say 'it's a date,' did he not? Ah! I can't remember-'

"Uh huh."

I turn around to see Chain in all of his glory. He looks marvelous, and he's not wearing his Fire Nation gear. It makes him look less intimidating.

"Hi," I say with a wave.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks! You look amazing, too," I compliment him as we start our walk. "I've never seen you without your uniform before. Are you sure Zuko won't mind?"

"Eh, a banished prince can't tell me what to do at night," he replies.

Oh?

"I look forward to the end of my shifts," he continues. "The uniforms are so stuffy. If it were up to me, they'd be much nicer."

"Yeah, but I think you look nice."

"You think so?" He asks.

"Yeah, but also pretty intimidating."

"I'm intimidating? That's insane coming from you."

"What?" I ask confused.

"You're the most intimidating person on the ship!" He says with a laugh.

"Psh, you're joking! I mean, come on, I'm what? Two ft tall? And I have no upper body strength. I'm as scary as a bunny-roo! How is that intimidating?" I ask, also laughing.

"Yeah, but it's different. You're the only girl on the ship, and everyone wants to impress you. It would be different if you were just there or whatever, but you actually talk to us and care. We haven't had that in awhile, and we all just want to impress you."

"I'm just being a decent humanbeing," I say with a shrug.

"You tend to forget what being a decent human being is when you've been at war for so long," he explains.

"Hm, I guess you're right about that."

We walk in silence for a moment. It's getting darker and darker by the moment, and he should probably rest before his next shift, so our journey should be coming to an end shortly.

'The silence is nice, but I can't help but feel a little anxious,' I think to myself. "Is he quiet because he's just taking in the moment, or is he quiet because he's bored and this is the worst date of his entire life?!- ok, calm down, Coco. You're overthinking."
