Opposite Yet So Similar {Prince Zuko X Reader}

Chapter Twenty Two: Back

Your pov
     As Shi and I were talking, Zuko reentered the room. I laughed loudly as I turned to see his body scrubbed raw. "Did-did you really scrub everything raw?" I laughed more, tears falling from my eyes.

"Well... you said to... so I did." He sheepishly said.

     I laughed more. "Even after all this time, you're still whipped like a baby!" I tried to stop laughing. "Take it off." I pointed at him.

"H-huh?" His face was getting more red.

"Your robe." I turned to him. "I wanna see if it's all scrubbed off." I snorted.

"A-alright." He nodded and slowly took his robe off.

     I took in his frame and how much he actually scrubbed himself. "You lost a bit of muscle since being with miss boring." I got up and walked around him.

"Do you have to keep bringing that up?" He huffed and turned to the side.

"Obviously, pillow princess." I laughed before slapping his raw ass. "You even scrubbed here." I lifted up his dick, making him shiver.

"H-hey! Ngh~." He groaned lowly as he started to get harder.

"Even after doing that, you can still get it up. I don't know if I should be impressed or disgusted." I laughed.

"I-it's because yo-you're touching me..." He panted.

"Welp, I'll see you tomorrow." I let him go and went to lay back on the bed.

"Huh? You're just gonna leave it at that?" He asked, coming closer to me.

"What? You wanna fuck when you're body is red as hell?" I laughed.

"Well, um, no." He rubbed his neck, turning away slightly. "But... can we sleep together? I mean-! Not sleep sleep together! I meant sleep together! I mean-!" He stumbled over his words.

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up and get in here, dipshit." I huffed and lifted the blanket for him to get under with me.

     His face lit up as he laid next to me. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I crossed my arms and let him hold me. He rested his head on mine as I rested my forehead against his chest.
     He sighed happily and stroked my back. Eventually I passed out as he held me.

.

     I woke up, finding Zuko staring at me. "What are you staring at, half ass?" I mumbled out as I rubbed my eyes.

"Just how pretty you are." He whispered.

"Quit it with your half baked compliments." I grumbled.

"But it isn't." He mumbled and pulled me closer.

     I grumbled again before holding him as well. As I was about to fall asleep again, someone knocked at the door. "Enter." Zuko said as he continued to stroke my hair.

"Prince Zuko. Everyone is waiting for you." A servant said.

"Me? Why?" He asked and sat up on the bed.

"The meeting, sir." He said.

"What meeting? I wasn't told of a meeting."

"Dude. Just get up and go. You're both too loud." I grumbled and pushed him away.

"Can I come back afterwards?" He asked as he held my hand.

"Yeah. Whatever." I huffed and turned away, not wanting him to see my reddened face.

     He nodded before kissing my head and following the servant. "What the hell am I doing?" I questioned to myself as I pulled my face slightly.

     I decided to stop thinking and went back to sleep.

.

     I woke up thanks to Zuko. "Why are you always so loud?" I huffed. "Anyways. What went up with the meeting?" I yawned and got up.

"They all welcomed me. My father saved me a seat next to him. I was the perfect son... but it wasn't me." He mumbled as he sat on the bed.

"So then don't be like that." I shrugged.

"But-"

"Nope. No buts. That's all you ever say. If you feel like you should do something else, then do it." I punched him in the shoulders.

"I'm really glad you're talking to me." He hugged me tightly. "You always tell me what I need to hear. Not what I want to hear."

"Yeah. Whatever." I huffed and turned to the side, hiding my red face.

"Do you think... maybe... we could try again?" He asked, holding up my necklace.

"You gonna backstab me again?" I grumbled.

"I won't ever do that again. As long as you give me a second chance." He rubbed my cheek lovingly as he pressed his forehead against mine.

"Fine. But if boring ass gets in the way-"

"Don't worry. I was always yours even if you didn't want me." He pulled back to put the necklace back on me. "Now, are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Eh? Go where?" I tilted my head.

"To do what feels right." He pulled me up by my hands.

"Do I get to beat some people up?" I hoped.

"If we run in to trouble, you can." He nodded.

"Hell yes!" I fist bumped the air and put my corset and shoes on before Shi and I followed Zuko.

.

     We went to an underground chamber. "Stay out here. I need to face my father alone." Zuko whispered.

"But we can help you!" I whispered yelled at him

"Please, (Y/n)." He pleaded.

     I grumbled but reluctantly nodded. From outside, I could hear them arguing. There was explosion inside before Zuko rushed out and grabbed me by the arm, pulling me behind him. "I told you I could've helped!" I shouted as I caught up to him, running next to while Shi was behind us.

"Don't worry about it! Just keep running!" He shouted, turning a corner.

"Stupid idiot! I should've beat some sense into you when I had the chance!"

"Let's go get my uncle!" We entered what looked like a prison, finding him not there.

"Shit just isn't going right!" I shouted as we rushed out of the prison.

"We'll find him eventually! Hop on!" He held a hand out to me and he got on a war balloon.

     I grabbed his hand and jumped on, following after the avatar.
