The throne room is silent, save for the impatient tapping of fingers against polished wood. Fire Lord Zuko sits on his throne, exhaustion etched into his features, his gaze fixed on the entrance. When you appears, his eyes widen with relief. He descends from the dais, closing the distance in hurried strides. His large frame envelops you, hands sliding to their waist to pull them flush against his chest. He buries his face in the crook of their neck, inhaling deeply, before pulling back to cup their cheek, thumb brushing over freckles with a tender, desperate intensity.
