baby, you're the baddest. baby, you're the baddest girl, and

nobody else matters. nobody else matters girl, and

we’re kissin in the bathroom, kissin in the bathroom girl, and

i hope nobody catch us; but i kinda hope they catch us, anyways.

ZUKO and you were together, it was something that the gaang wasn’t aware of, keeping your relationship on the low was your idea, he didn’t really mind but he wanted to be able to show you off to everyone, but he respected your wishes.

the two of you were in a tent together, lips locked as you two desperate sought out for more. his hands were on your waist, keeping you in place as he kissed you roughly. something about the tent being unzipped and the wind blowing the fabric back and fourth, opening and closing it gave him a thrill.

the kiss broke and the two of you caught your breaths, his forehead pressed against yours. he leaned in, and right before he closed the gap between the both of you again he muttered a small “no one’s gonna catch us if you keep quiet”

when he pressed his lips against yours again, he bit your bottom lip, and when you gasped at the sudden action he slipped his tongue back into your mouth (sneaky little bitch 🤬🤬). your two hands finding a place on his face, cupping it and pulling it even closer than it already was. one of his hands was resting on your hip, the other on your waist. his tongue tangles with yours in an endless dance.

his only concern right now was you, the front of the tent still moving back and fourth with the wind, god he hoped somebody could walk in on the two of you like this. the thought alone made him feral.

it was times like these— times like these that melted all his insecurities away. but not even this could make them go away for good.

im a mess; that don't rhyme with shit, it's just true

don't bring your girlfriend here, it's just you

when I'm depressed you're someone I run to

it was night time, and you heard some rustling outside, so you stepped out of the room, you and your friends were hiding in the fire lords palace, somewhere zuko claimed ‘nobody would think to look’.

when you stepped out, you saw zuko on the balcony, staring up in the sky with an empty look on his face. he was lost in thought. you walked over to him, and looked up at him

“you okay?” your voice was soft, and comforting. your tone was always one of pure adoration when you spoke to him. he looked back at you, not a word left his mouth, instead he opted for an embrace. leaning down to embrace your body, he buried his face into the crook of your neck, he was bothered.

you returned the hug without any hesitation, your concern for him only growing. you started rubbing his back softly and comfortingly, your other hand on his head, running your fingers through his hair.

you were his escape from reality. his comfort and weak spot. he couldn’t imagine a life without you besides him. and he knew you’d always be there for him. but what he didn’t understand was why.

(i skipped hella of the song like i said i would cus i had zero ideas for the lyrics.)

you ain't see me at the show, i was super great

hotel penthouse, go on let it ruminate

city never sleeps, so I guess I'm never slept on

did everything I could, then I kept going.

zuko had been down lately. like REALLY down. he’d space out more than usual, he was worried about something. he was worrying about something. and it was taking up all his energy. any time he wasn’t fighting or training aang he’d kinda just stare off, deep in thought. something was wrong. very wrong.

you scooted closer to your boyfriend, on the saddle(-thingy idk wtf it is) on appa as he flew. you put a hand to zukos cheek, moving his face to look at you, a concerned look on your face, when he saw it he just turned his face away from you. he felt bad that he was making you worry. but he couldn’t help it. these thoughts flooded his mind. ‘she’ll find someone better.’ ‘what if i’m not good enough?’ ‘i don’t deserve someone like her.’ ‘what if—‘

“zuko.” your voice was stern, loud enough only for him to hear, it was a way of telling him to tell you what was going on. but instead of telling you like he usually did, he just shook his head. he wasn’t gonna tell you, not now atleast. you understood that much. so you just put one of your hands on his comfortingly, trying to do all that you can to help him.

ooh, girl, i wanna know; are you ready to cry? cause im no good, no good

ooh, girl, I wanna try; im an awful guy and I'm always away

and I'm tryin to say, im a piece of shit; believe in this, I'm tellin' you

cause we barely knew, what we had: im not that bad, the fun we had

oh, oh.

the avatar had finally defeated firelord ozai, andit was almost time for zuko to be crowned the new firelord. but one thought stuck in his head

‘what if she’s still thinking about my past actions?’

he was afraid. but he masked his fear with happiness the second you popped up behind him. that same concerned look on your face. “are u gonna tell me what’s up or keep up this ‘nothings wrong’ act of yours, zuko?”

you asked him in a tone that let him know you were serious. and so he just sighed. it was impossible for him to keep anything from you for this long. so he just began to speak.

“listen, i’m not a good person, y/n. i’ve done so much and caused so much pain to you and your tribe. i’m not gonna have a lot of time for you when i’m the firelord. i want to try for you. i do, but im just always thinking about the possibility of you finding someone better. i promise i’m trying, y/n.”

when he opened up to you, you took his face in your hands, and started to speak softly, “zuko. you aren’t the same person you were a year ago. i know you’ve changed. and i love you for that, there’s no possibility of me ‘finding someone better’ because i’m not looking for something better than what we have. i love you and our relationship, nothing could get in the way of that. ever.”

your words gave his mind peace, and he embraced you tightly after, leaning down to press his lips against yours softly. his hold on you was tight, to him it felt like if he let go, you’d fade away. but you weren’t going anywhere. not without him atleast. he leaned down and whispered a small “thank you.” before pressing his lips onto yours once more.

this is so ass i cant.
