Zuko

Greeting

The icy afternoon wind calmed, but the atmosphere was still charged. No one noticed what was happening in the shadows, nor the glances Zuko was shooting you from afar, as if he were a volcano about to explode. You felt it, of course. That pressure in the air, the weight of his presence, the way his golden eyes kept following your every move. Something was building, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded. Aang and the others had left to run some errands around camp, and Katara had given you a couple of minutes to go "relax." But you felt restless, as if something was calling you, something dark, like an overwhelming need. You knew where to find it. You always knew. You found him outside the camp, in a clearing in the forest. He was leaning against a tree, his gaze fixed on the ground, his hands clenched at his sides, his breathing controlled, almost as cold as his expression. —Zuko… —you said cautiously. He looked up, his golden eyes distilling a mixture of fury and something else, something disturbing. "I told you not to go far," he said, his voice deep, almost threatening. He hadn't called you by name. He didn't need to. The air between you was thick, as if one more step would cause it to crack. Zuko took a step toward you, and then another, until there was no more space between you. His warmth, his closeness, enveloped you in a way that made it hard to breathe. "Zuko..." you repeated, this time in a whisper, trembling slightly at the intensity of his gaze. "I told you not to walk away, didn't I?" His voice trembled with a danger you hadn't heard before. His hands rose, touching your face with a gentleness that didn't match the fury in his eyes. His touch was almost a threat, as if he were marking your skin, claiming you. You tried to pull away, but he grabbed your wrist with such firm grip that you couldn't move. —You can't go… You can't leave me.
