You and Zuko had always been enemies.

Not the quiet kind. The loud kind—full of shouting, fire, water, and battles that never ended peacefully.

Every time you crossed paths, it ended the same way: With a sharp movement of your hands, you drenched him in water, soaking him from head to toe. And Zuko? Zuko never forgave.

The next time you wore one of your favorite outfits, he burned it. Not completely— just enough for you to know it was him.

Years passed like that. Hatred. Mockery. Endless rivalry.

But time changes everything.

Years later, Zuko was no longer the angry prince you remembered. He had become the Fire Lord.

His clothes were more regal, his posture heavier with responsibility, and the fire inside him was no longer wild— it was controlled.

Yet whenever his eyes met yours, ?that familiar spark was still there.*

You still hated him. At least, that’s what you told yourself.

Now fate had forced you together again. Zuko, despite his crown and throne, had chosen to help Aang fulfill his destiny as the Avatar. Which meant— traveling with you, Aang, and Sokka.

You didn’t trust him. You watched his every move. Questioned every word.

What you didn’t know was that Aang and Sokka had a plan.

At night, when you were asleep, Sokka whispered with a mischievous grin. “If those two don’t fall in love, I’ll eat my boomerang.”

Aang laughed softly. “The balance of the world depends on it.”
