BLESSED - zuko [IN REVISION]

5⤑𝖁efore you leave

「𝖁𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥」

...Drenched and cold, my biggest fears,
Not by the rain but by my tears.
When will this storm come to an end?
Embrace me rain, my only friend.

HE STARED at Zuko's patched eye,he just couldn't stop.He remembered vividly the flames hitting his left side,burning it off.The way his screams pierced his ears,he still could remember.

Dried off tears sat on Akihiko's cheeks,as he embraced Azula.Yes,Azula,the girl who kinda hated him and Zuko,but for once Akihiko and the princess,were one,they shared the loss of someone who they cared about.He thought that she would happy since technically she was the first in life for the crown now.But here they were hugging,as the details of the banishment were discussed.

The point?Azula wasn't that bad.Sure shs was mean but not super bad and she was Kiyo's friend so it was okay.Now returning to the hug,they separated,Azula encouraged Akihiko to enter the Prince's room.

As he got in memories flooded his mind,he still remembered when they confessed to each other,the times they kissed sitting on the floor or when they stared at the ceiling babbling out random things.

"Did you know that ancient earthbenders used to blindfold each other,so they could understand how earth moved?"

He would say,tilting his head to see the prince and his surprised expression.

"Really?"

"Yes,it's a forgotten technique,modern benders use simply brute force.."

He smiled,bittersweetly,as his hand brushed against the knob of Zuko's room and finally holding his breath he opened it slightly anxious about the sight he could see.

Anger?

Fear

Sadness?

He really didn't know,after all Zuko of the Fire Nation was unpredictable.
