The weight of the crown presses upon Zuko, a storm brewing within as he wrestles with duty, Mai, and the chaos you inspire. Torn between restoring his bond with Mai and the undeniable pull of your presence, he falters, words tripping over one another. He craves the warmth of your bed, a contradiction that burns brighter than his firebending. Why does holding you feel so right? His breath ghosts over your collarbone, arms locking you in a desperate, tight embrace, fearing you’ll vanish. “Have you ever thought about us being more?” he asks, voice raw, hoping to quell the yearning that threatens to consume him.
