![]() "But anyway-" Zuko looked flustered, "What I mean to say is.I like talking to you- not that I don't like talking to Sokka or Aang or anyone else- but- I don't know." He rubbed his face in his hands in embarrassment. I laughed, "He was pretty graphic with that wasn't he?" I looked up into his eyes, and his pale face turned into a becoming flush, "I mean- that's what I was thinking of.when you came." He rubbed the back of his head nervously, "If you were wondering." You know, how he kissed on his 18th birthday." He huffed with a laugh, "I was only missing Mai because of what Uncle said. "I don't know." Zuko sighed, folding his hands in his lap where I could see them, "Actually-" I quickly glanced down, "Is there anything I can do to make it better?" He turned to face me, "It was." In the starlight, he looked more handsome than I would even think possible, with his black hair and his beautiful scar. I'm really sorry." I carefully placed my hand on his shoulder, "That sounds awful." "Zuko-" I fumbled for words, "I had no idea. Uncle did what he would, but he understood enough to leave me alone." His voice cracked again, "I was devastated Katara. He lowered his gaze to the grass, "After I became fire-lord, she said yes to marrying me. But when I didn't return for a year, then two, she eventually gave in." Apparently, after I had been banished, her father had arranged a suitor for her." he fisted his hands, "Mai resisted at first. "And then-" he swallowed, looking at the stars, "I walked past her bedroom. Was that bad? That he could look at me and I would feel this way? "I thought.- we were going to be together." he lowered his head, then looked at me past his shoulder with a glance that made my stomach twist. I brought my hands down to my knees, listening. "I.-" Zuko's voice cracked, "I loved her Katara." ![]() I absently hoped that I could leave to go get ready for bed. His gold eyes were flaming, but just as quickly he turned back and wiped his nose on his sleeve.Īfter letting him cool for a second, I started, "Zuko.I'm sorry." "We're done!" he yelled, turning to me so fiercely, I instinctively brought my arms up to my chest to protect myself.
