( and all she takes away from this blather is... )

Hurting people isn't all you know how to do. You haven't hurt me once.

[atoned]

[ "blather", man. ❤ ]

[ lets just card his hand through his hair ] Didn't I? You seemed annoyed at the speed dating.

[powerful]

( it's ok, she knows hers was blather too. don't worry. she cares about all of it. )

Annoyed and hurt are different. I was just... Confused. You're kind of confusing. Okay? But you haven't hurt me.

[atoned]

[ you're confusing ]

I'm not confusing! [ says the most confused person ever ] I keep telling you things and you don't listen!

[powerful]

You know, you don't have to snap at me. ( she purses her lips. ) You are confusing. Just because you explain things doesn't make them any clearer.

1/2

[atoned]

I'm not — [ he is and he recognises it ]

[atoned]

[ fine; no more snapping, even if it's his go-to in pushing people away ]

How am I even confusing?

Azula would say there's nothing confusing about me! [ along with other great things that would do such wonders for his character

he's zuko; he's simple ]

[powerful]

Azula clearly didn't know what she was talking about. That, or, you know, she had the advantage of knowing you your entire life. I haven't had that advantage. ( she'd like to. ) You're just... ( suddenly she looks... flustered, almost, and her cheeks turn bright red, and she won't make eye contact with him. ) - You're confusing, okay? You just are.

[atoned]

[ azula is a people person

she knows ]

How? [ he is legit concerned over this ]

Toph would say I'm as simple as a lilly liver. [ he still doesn't know what that is btw ]

[powerful]

( could swear that actual storm clouds are starting to gather around her head because of her feelings right now might be happening mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmight be a thing )

Because! ( yeah, she's two years old, what of it??? she huffs in true teenager fashion. ) First of all, you're like - the most closed off and emotionally distant person I have ever met, and trust me, that's pretty impressive. You're super -- guarded, I guess, and I get that! I know what that's like! But haven't I already shown you that I don't bite? Plus, you -- ( she just groans frustratedly and drags her hands down her face. ) Forget it.

[atoned]

[ spirits ]

[ none of that actually sounds very positive, though; zuko doesn't intend to be anything like that, and he opens his mouth to repeat i'm not, but if he's as frustrating as she says he is, then he has to ask one thing: ]

Then why do you even want to be my friend?

[powerful]

Because I like you. And sometimes? Sometimes, you don't do confusing things. You're really -- you're just -- I like you. It's as easy as that. You confuse me. But I still like you. I wish you'd open up to me more. But that doesn't make me like you less. Why does being confusing have to be bad?

[atoned]

It's usually seen as a bad thing. I'm always confused. I was confused and it lead to ... [ bad things, like him betraying uncle :c but he sighs, because it's an excuse she'll call out for being confusing and closing himself up ]

[ she wants him to open up? well, he'll do that by unlocking his door and nudging it open the tiniest bit with his foot ]

It's hard being here ... There are people who know me as a me I'm not. I'm not that Zuko. I don't even know who that Zuko is! [ he kind of thinks he's like twenty-something, not eighty ... ] I don't even know who I am. And it's hard because Toph's not here to distract me by being her. [ he misses being faceplanted with boulders ]

I've been alone for three years. [ and more, the moment mom had left had begun his tumble from ozai's perception of grace ] It's a habit that's difficult to break.

[powerful]

What? It lead to what? See, you always do that. You start to tell me something, and then it's like you think I'm going to bite your hand off or something if you do. The sheer amount of times you drop a thought like it's a hot potato -- ( she rakes a hand through her hair and is u p s e t.

well. okay. this is something, at least. she calms, considerably, and there it is again - all over her face, seeping into every annoying little crack. worry. worry, worry, fret, fret, zuko, what has your life been? :c )

Maybe you're going to be that Zuko. And maybe you don't need a distraction. What's so hard about believing that there are people who know you from the future, who know what you might become? I know it's probably weird. But I've looked at things in the past, things I wasn't alive to see, and it was hard to believe at first - but it existed. I'm sure the future could work the same. Maybe they see something you just haven't had the chance to see yet. Have a little faith in yourself.

( then she reaches, tentatively, for his hand, and she takes it. ) Well, get used to not being alone. I'm not going anywhere.

1/2

[atoned]

Because I'm ashamed of what I did! It's bad enough The Boy In The Iceberg includes all my failures!

[ this is what he had said to toph. she's represented as this brave and tough figure, with all her achievements remembered and acknowledged in a rather horrible play. but zuko? he's reminded of all of his failures. he's reminded of everything he's ashamed of. it's a hard pill to swallow, especially when he wishes to wipe his own slate clean but his own hands refuse to do such an action. ]

[ he doesn't deserve it. ]

And that's the worst play I've ever seen in my life. It makes that one time they tried to turn Love amongst the Dragons into a musical look like a good move. And they butcher it all the time!

[atoned]

[ it's then he realises her hand is grasping his once again. ]

You don't get it. [ it's as though all the anger coursing through him dissipates, leaving his strong and stiff bones liquified. he sounds defeated. ] I've been told I'm a disappointment all my life. What if I disappoint them by being me instead of the Zuko they know? They know me as Fire Lord Zuko. I'm not even the Prince Zuko the Fire Nation remembers. I was banished by my own father. I'm still considered a traitor.

[ but he doesn't want to be seen as that anymore. doesn't that count for something? (to zuko, no. it's too little.) ]

I know I can fix it. My friends forgave me for what I did to them. But what if I do something bad to these guys that makes them lose faith in the Zuko of their time?

[ he's thinking too hard, doc; this time stuff is way too confusing. ]

1/2

[powerful]

( though his concerns are certainly valid, she has no idea what the boy in the iceberg or love amongst the dragons happen to be. even when he explains that they're plays, musicals, she's still... well. confused. it's probably because of how little she really knows about the world he's from, and how little she knows about his life story, because he won't just fucking tell her what happened to him to make him so damaged. )

Zuko...

( she wants to say something like 'everyone makes mistakes', wants to say something to comfort him... but she's worried that it'll come across as placating, and empty. she doesn't want it to be empty. she worries at the inside of her cheek for a moment. )

[powerful]

Just because someone decided to take out their problems on you when you were young doesn't mean it's true. There's nothing about you I've seen so far that's disappointing. Confusing - like I said - but not disappointing. ( she dares to go so far as to thread her fingers with his and squeeze. ) No offense, but your father sounds like an asshole who didn't deserve to have a son like you anyway.

( he just seems like a good person to her. lost. hurting. but a good person. he reminds her of herself, when she first came to chance harbor... and now, again. no family left but diana, who couldn't stand the thought of staying near her. her fingers close just a little tighter. )

If you're ashamed of what you've done in the past, and if you're trying to fix what you've damaged, why in the world would you do something bad? Accidents happen. People make mistakes. These people aren't going to lose faith in you. If anything, I bet you'll show them a reason to have more faith in you. You just need to -- ( she needs to distract him. so in a moment of boldness, she turns her face up toward his and just kisses him, good and hard, right on the mouth. )

only because it's a meme comment, i will show you mercy for once ...

[atoned]

[ there'd be a massive block of introspection of zuko internally metaing over the father comment, but cassie's — ]

[ — well. she's doing the thing. ]

[ for the first few seconds, he's shocked, taken off-guard when he can almost predict the movements of whoever it is he happens to be battling. but this isn't a battle, nor is it even an agni kai. his wide eyes close on instinct as he opens his mouth beneath hers, the hand she's not currently occupying threads through her hair. ]

[ it's as if the feel of her hair wakes him up from what it is they're doing. he pulls away, but not without the back of the hand threaded through her hair brushing lightly down her cheek before it flops uselessly against his side. ]

You talk about me being confusing.

[ it's unfortunate he doesn't have a coupon to shove between them in a bid to distract her. ]

tyvm i appreciate such generosity

[powerful]

( cassie's just starting to lean in more, to get a grip on confidence, to get into it, when his lips leave hers behind. there's a clench of insecurity in her stomach; what if he never talks to her again. worse - what if kissing him means he's put off by her now, enough to hold her at arm's length, never letting her any closer? the fear flashes across her face for less than a split second before her eyes catch his. at least he's not pushing her away completely. his hand in her hair feels nice... even better on her cheek.

then the moment's over, and her eyes fall away just like his hand. )

I like you. For you. And since you don't like you, enough that you don't listen when I tell you I do, I -- ( she pauses for a moment to breathe, and gather herself back up because this feels a little like rejection. ) - thought I would show you, instead.

your soul now, please

[atoned]

[ he is pretty dense. but where she has been stating it in very simple terms in english her own intentions, even the kiss makes things even more muddled up and difficult to process. ]

And ... [ he isn't even sure where he's going with this. he really should step away, but he doesn't. ] You still like me. [ since nothing seems to deter her, he can only guess as much. it's odd having someone be so stubborn in their belief in him, but it's a source of even more confusion and discomfort zuko's uncertain of how to even tackle. ] I like you, too ...

[ but, you know, inner peace, stilettos, him being dumb, her deserving better, etc etc. ]

but you made me cry would i give my soul to a crymaker would i WOULD I??

[powerful]

( she tilts her head to the side slightly, brows knitting together. ) Of course I still like you. I wasn't kissing you for my health. ( the last couple of words come out as a chuckle, and her lips form a smile. she finds one of his hands, a free hanging one, and laces her fingers with his. he looks so uncertain still, though, and it worries her. ) So, then... why does it feel like you're about to tell me you can't do this?
