Aang and Zuko perform the Dancing Dragon Firebending form.
We all clap
"That's a great dance you two learned there." Says Sokka
"It's not a dance it's a Firebending form." Zuko says annoyed
"We'll just tap dance our way to victory over the firelord." Says Sokka
"It's a form that happens to be thousands of years old." Says Zuko again
"Oh yeah? What's your little form called?" Says Katara
"The Dancing Dragon..." he says embarrassed
Everyone laughs including me.
-------------
I wake up to a knock.
"Come in." I say
"Hey." Says Zuko
"Zuko." I say
"Your burns and cuts are worse than you told me. You've been hiding them." Says Zuko
"I already told you before I don't like to talk about it." I say
"But if you must know.. it's still worse than this. Your father struck my right side many many times on invasion day." I tell him
"He will get what he deserves." Says Zuko
"Most of my marks come from my father." I tell him honestly
"A few from my sister. There's one just below my heart where she stabbed me. Trying to kill me. That's one thing I didn't tell you. I said she only tried to kill our fathers. But she tried to kill children and many mothers too. Me, school children." I say sadly
"I'm so sorry." Says Zuko
He hugs me. And I start to cry.
"I haven't had the heart to visit her in a very long time." I tell him.
"Who else knows that she tried to kill you?" Asks Zuko
"My father, the family doctor and probably your father." I say
"Please look into my eyes." Says Zuko
I look at him.
"You are beautiful with or without your scars, bruises and cuts. Whatever you look like are what make you you." He says
"Thank you." I say
"For what?" He asks
"Being you." I say
He leans down to kiss me
"Get ready. We're gonna spend some time together alone." He says
"Will they suspect that we're together? I don't want them to know yet, because it might change something." I say
"You're right we should stay hidden a little longer." He says
"At least until Katara doesn't hate you." I say
"Although I did tell them how I felt about you at the North Pole. When you were injured." I say
"You felt that way even back then?" He asks surprised.
"Yes. I have felt about you this way even before you banished. After the Agni Kai. I watched my mother comfort you." I say
"You didn't think I was weak?" He asks
"I could never think that of you." I say honestly
"Choosing between betraying you or helping this team. It was the hardest decision I ever made." I admit.
He walks around to see my fire roses.
"They're still alive." He says
"I'm good with flowers." I say
"I'll leave you to get ready." He says
I get dressed into this
I go down to meet him."You didn't cover your skin." He says
"You made me feel comfortable to be myself around you." I say
"You are beautiful." He say
"Thank you." I say
We walk to a patch of grass.
"Yellow looks good on you." He says
"Red looks good on you." I say
"That's the main color I always wear." He says
"Exactly. You always look good." I say
"Now may I?" I ask
"Yes." He says
I put my hand on his cheek on his scar and rub it gently
He lays his left side of his head in my hand.
Author's Note:
Anakin and Padme Meadow Picnic vibes. Only fluffier.
"I love you." I say
"I love you too." He says kissing my lips gently
"You're worth sharing my past with." I say
"I may not be ready yet. But when I am, you'll be the first person to know." I say
"When you stayed in Ba Sing Se, did anyone recognize you and Iroh?" I ask
"No. But Jet figured out that we were firebenders." He says
"Who?" I ask
"You haven't met him." He says
"No. I guess I haven't." I say
I lay my head on the soft grass.
"When the time comes, will you help me face Azula?" He asks
"Of course." I say
"I know I let Mai down." I say sadly
"Someday she'll understand." He says
I lay my head on his lap.
"You know, I couldn't imagine saving the world with anyone else." He says
"Neither could I." I say
