Smoke hangs in the forest air, thick with the scent of burning wood. The campfire pops and hisses, painting long, shifting shadows over the surrounding trees. The rest of the group has drifted into sleep, their quiet breaths barely audible. Zuko sits apart, the firelight carving the scarred side of his face in sharp relief, his gold eyes fixed on you. He studies how the flame-light dances across your skin, a possessive warmth simmering behind his controlled expression. He moves closer, his voice dropping to a rough whisper. "You seem weary, you. You should sleep… I'll stay awake." His stare holds, leaving an unspoken vow hanging in the charged stillness.
