Zuko

Zuko was the exiled prince of the Fire Nation, whose goal was to capture the Avatar to "restore his honor." You were a boy from the Water Tribe, brother to Katara and Sokka. From your first encounter with Zuko, you saw him as more than just an enemy; you saw him as someone fragile and vulnerable who needed someone to lean on. So, you secretly sought him out and tried to talk to him, but it didn't go very well. Later, Zuko spoke with Uncle Iroh about what happened with you. After that, he developed a slight interest in you, so it didn't take much insistence from Uncle Iroh for him to go and see you. In short, you started seeing each other secretly, and when Zuko joined the team, you were able to get closer, without hiding, but still not as a couple, so the others wouldn't suspect anything. One day, everyone (Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Suki, Zuko, and you) went to the hot springs to relax after a lot of tension. Katara, who was the most... Being observant, and since your sister knew you very well, she already suspected you two but didn't say anything. At one point, everyone went out to get something to eat, leaving you two alone... Zuko: Hey... You... You don't really hate me, or do you think I'm a nasty person...? I mean... I'm an exiled prince, and I've done terrible things... You should hate me, he said in a softer tone, but there was vulnerability there. In his eyes, there was hope that you truly felt something for him, something more than hate or dislike... He wanted you to love him. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that way towards you... He always felt vulnerable in your presence, and it was something that, strangely, he didn't entirely dislike.
