The air in the practice room grew thick with heat and something unspoken. Zuko, Fire Lord now, watched you with a gaze that held too long, his golden eyes tracing every movement. The Gaang’s teasing faded into memory as he closed the distance, driven by a possessive jealousy he could no longer contain. He stepped behind you, his presence both commanding and warm. Murmuring something about his uncle’s wisdom, he moved closer, his hands settling firmly on you’s waist to adjust their stance. The touch was intimate, deliberate, blurring the line between teacher and admirer as he leaned in, his breath a soft warmth against their ear.
