Disrespect Won't Be Tolerated | Firelord Zuko x waterbender!Reader
"I want to marry you" Zuko's voice was soft but strong as he held her. He didn't care. He hated dating her in secret. He loved her and couldn't think of anyone else he would want to be with. He knew that there were many in his counsel who despised the other nations still. And many of his citizens as well. But it was time. He was going to marry her, if his people liked it or not.
In his hand he held a small blue necklace. He had asked Katara and Sokka to help him carve his own engagement necklace for her.
"Oh... Zuko..." (Y/n) said softly. "How can we--" he stopped her with a soft kiss. "I want to tell... Everyone. I'm finally taking Uncle's advice. I shouldn't be afraid of loving you... In front of the whole kingdom."
Her arms wrapped around the young leader's neck. His arms were strong around her. "Of course, Zuko. I will marry you" his eyes were bright with joy. Zuko never expected to feel this happy. Instantly the necklace was around her neck and it was the beginning of a long social war.
A week passed since their engagement. Zuko had announced it quickly after and it was their engagement feast. Nobles from the firenation as well as few leaders from the water nation were in attendance. It was a peaceful dinner thus far. Uncle Iroh was gleefully speaking to (Y/n)'s father and Zuko was speaking with a nobleman from his own kingdom. Even the Aang and the rest of their friends were in attendance. Everyone was so happy. (Y/n), however, had found herself wandering out onto the balcony. The heat and noise from the conversations were over stimulating. Sweat crawled off of her forehead, as she opened her fan that was recently gifted to her.
"Are you okay?" Zuko's rough voice came from behind her. He slid the door shut and leaned against the barrier on the balcony. Her arms wrapped around his and laid her head against his shoulder.
"I'm okay." Zuko's face flushed a pink color as he looked at his new fiance. Man, did he love her. However, his happiness was short lived when the balcony one over opened to an older general and a noble. Zuko watched them closely. The were both still very against Ozai's traitor son ruling and dismantling the firenation.
"Can you believe this?" The nobleman spoke. He paced and launched a fireball. "Disgusting. Zuko is destroying the great firenation. A hundred years thrown out and then he has the nerve to marry a water tribe woman?"
"Not just a water tribe woman... A bender, sir" the other man spoke. Zuko's fingers curled around the metal bar before them. The iron burned bright red for a moment. He was getting very angry as the two men spoke.
"Zuko" she whispered, soft and calm as always. She leaned up, careful not to touch his hands or the metal. She kissed his cheek, just below his scar. He hissed out. He stopped burning the bar and moved to grip her hand in his. His hand was still warm, holding her tightly. "Come. Let's go find Uncle and father" he referred to your father as his own now. Those two men were more his father than anyone else had been before.
"And the water tribe members... Did you eat their food?" The general laughed. "Disgusting... Just as their tribe. And her father... What a strange man. Wolf pelts in the middle of spring... Traditions. " that set him off, if he wasn't already. No one insulted his family. He tugged her along, leaving her at the side of Uncle Iroh.
"Uncle" she touched his arm. "Zuko is being stupid... Please" Iroh nodded, patting her hand softly.
"I'll go speak with him. Don't you worry, just enjoy your party" Zuko was off stomping towards the door. No one stood in his way so he was making good time. However, Uncle wasn't far behind.
"Zuko!" He half shouted. "What is wrong?" Zuko was seething now. He had barely out grown his rage but he was much better at directing it at those who really deserved it.
His hand was on the handle when Uncle spoke to him.
"What's wrong?" Aang's voice was calm as he approached his friend, (Y/n).
"Some stupid noble... Close minded" she half sighed, her fingers mindlessly touched her necklace. Zuko was arguing with Uncle. It was clear Uncle was upset as well. The were now both moving out onto the balcony. The two men were thrown back into the party.
"You two are no longer welcome here" Zuko shouted. The once loud party was instantly silenced. "But Firelord!" The nobleman looks shocked. "We don't understand!" Zuko glared down at them.
"You come into my home and insult my family? And the work I have done?" Zuko threw a fireball, causing the man to cower. Iroh stood by his side.
"Disrespect is never tolerated here" Iroh said backing up his nephew.
"Whatever do you mean, sir?" The general spoke, faking his ignorance.
"I heard you insult them. My family. My fiancee is twice the person you will ever be." he threw another flame between the generals legs. "You both are no longer welcome here. And anyone else who thinks I'll of my new family can leave as well" A few older men stood up and left.
"None of you are keeping your titles!" He shouted after them.
"Zuko!" After the ordeal he seemed to not notice the small fire on the carpet. Luckily a guard noticed and quickly made the fire go out with his bending.
Zuko finally started to come from his enraged fog. He looked at his mess. Then over to his fiancee. A small smile peaked at the corners of her lips. She quickly wandered to his side and hugged him tight. She knew that he would always be on her side and that was amazing.
"Thank you, Zuko" she kissed him and a few awws were heard. His cheeks turned as red as the firenation flag that hung from a near by wall.
"I will do anything to protect you and our family" Zuko said softly.
Iroh now called everyone's attention.
"Let's have a toast to the happy couple. May they always keep peace between our nations and may they always be successful in everything they do" he raised his tea with everyone, as Zuko tool his sweet (Y/n) into his arms and placed a soft kiss to her head.
