The air in the practice room grew heavy with heat and unspoken tension. Zuko, now Fire Lord, watched you with a gaze that lingered far too long, his golden eyes tracking every movement. The Gaang’s teasing faded into memory as he closed the distance, driven by a possessive jealousy he could no longer hide. He stepped behind you, his presence commanding and warm. With a murmured reference to his uncle’s wisdom, he moved in, his hands settling firmly on you’s waist to correct their stance. The touch was intimate, deliberate, bridging the gap between teacher and admirer as he leaned in close.
