Zuko x Reader Pt. II (final)
This was highly requested on both Deviantart and Fanfiction.Net (Thanks you for all the favourites and comments on first chapter) so after me promising this for weeks, here it is! ^^

Zuko has been back in the Fire Nation for a month now. With the permissioned of the others he allowed me to stay with him, and soon we were back to normal again. As he talked but his adventures his eyes gave off this gorgeous sparkled that I have not witnessed since we were children. He has even had the chance to teach me fire bending.

~Flashback~

“(name)?” I raise my head to stare into his beautiful golden eyes, they reminding me of a sunrise in the early morning. “Hmm?” I softly reply, placing my diary and pen to the side.

“Do you know how to fire bend?”

I question shocked me. Why would he ask me this? Do I even know the answer to it? I never really wanted to try fire bending during my short life, it scared me as all I have known it to do is cause destruction. Villages torn apart by flames until it is non-existent, fire cascading through forests destroying everything in it’s path….. and the crippling pain it causes loved ones. I swallow hard as the memory of as the Fire Lord hurting Zuko resurfaces in my mind, the pain it cause Zuko afterwards still feels like a stab in the heart.

I lower my head back down to face the ground, digging my feet slightly into the dirt. I shook my head hoping that he would leave the topic there. However it did not. He sat next to me and slowly took my hand into his, running his thumb over my knuckles.

“(name) focus your energy into making a small sparkle” His tone smoothing as he tried to encourage me. I looked back at my diary that lay lonesome next to my pen, only wanting to continue writing while Zuko trained.

“Please try, just for me” I slowly looked back at him seeing the sparkle in his eyes again. “Ok…” I whisper, as I open out my hand flat in front of me and closed my eyes in concentration.

I placed all my concentration into my hand, trying to create a small flame. After a few minutes I soon began to give up, until I felt a small amount of heat coming from my hand. My eyes snapped open to find a small flame balancing above my hand. I did it? I-I did it! A small squeal escaped from my mouth as I stared at the flame.

I managed to extinguish the flame quickly. I turned to Zuko and pulled him into a tight hug. He chuckled lightly as he wrapped his arms around my waist. He later release me slight to caress my cheek. “I love you” he spoke as he stroke him lips over mine.

“I love you too”

~End of Flashback~

But all this is short lived….. Zuko’s leaving again….

“(name)!” I wipe my head around to see Zuko running up to me. I wipe my tear stained face quickly so that he does not see. He stops in front of me as we stand there in silence, the wind wiping through our hair as we appreciate our last few moments together for a long time.

“I don’t want to go” His voice traveling away with the wind.

“But you must go…. Save the world…. Claim your throne!” I spoke hastily “Don’t you want your throne back?”

“I’ve already said before, I would not save this world just to claim my ‘throne’…. I would do it to help people like you” His voice slightly raising then dropping again “I am staying here with you” His last words were spoken in a smooth, loving voice…. No! he can’t just finish this because of me.

“Zuko!”

“I said I’m not going! From this point onwards I will protect you! To me, you are my life! My life is you!.... That is why I am staying here. If I can’t protect you, then what is the point. I don’t want to lose you…. But I don’t want you to worry about me either”

Tears slowly began to roll down my face, as I know that he must go. “You…. You said that you didn’t want me to worry about you… but no matter where you are I will worry….” I stopped suddenly knowing that I will regret convincing him to leave. “If this is the end… then I will always worry about you… I know this is difficult but you must leave, please……reconsider staying here….” I look up to meet his now dull, golden eyes as tears started to form in them.

“…Y-Your lying to me…. You don’t want me to leave…. You don’t want to let me go!” His voice was gradually starting to crack as his words flowed out. “Am I right?”

“N-No” …. “Wrong” The tears continue to cascade down my face as I began to break under the pressure that has seemed to swarm us. “If it was a different situation I would be currently begging you to stay here with me…. But right now, I’m sending you off.” I am unable to even imagine the pain he currently is in, to me this feels like my hearts is ripping apart telling him this, but I know that this is right for the world.

“Don’t lie….. Don’t say nonsense you bad girl!” Both of us began to break down as we stared at each other, fighting against what we know is right and what we desire.
“Zuko….. Just go” His expression seemed hurt though his eyes showed understanding. He reached forward and gently captured my lips into a kiss. He backed away, not before placing something in my hand.

“I l-love you” I spoke rapidly as the end seemed to be nearing. “I love you too” and with that he walked away and didn’t look back.

….. I looked down at my hand to find a diamond ring resting in the palm of my hand. My heart stopped as I stared at this beautiful piece of jewellery. A large bison flew overhead it’s shadow blocking out the small amount of light coming from the sky. My knees collapse underneath me.

“Good Bye Z-Zuko…..”

~6 Months Later~ (BTW this bit in Italics is you writing in your diary)

Six months has passed since that incident. The Fire Lord was defeated, his bending striped from him by the Avatar. The world is saved, I knew Zuko could help….. he is due to be returning tomorrow, I hope that he is well.

~The Next Day~

I was currently running up the many steps towards the castle were Zuko should be arriving at soon, I reached the top only to find a massive crowd blocking my view of the small, central garden. I began to push my way through the crowd, earning name calling and rude remakes to come my way but all I cared about was reaching the garden so I could see Zuko. I soon managed to break free from the group and was greeted by a tall bison standing in the small area, taking up most of the space, all his passengers slowly descending from his back. I flash of black hair and reddish clothing caught my eye. I looked at the figure closely. Their injured.

“Zuko!” I immediately stepped forwards only to be found with some type of guards holding me in place. “Take her away” Another guard spoke, obviously being their commander. Wait… I can’t leave.

I was slowly dragging back away from the area as the crowd split to let us through.
“NO! ZUKO! LET GO OF ME! ZUKO!” My screams managed to silence everyone present at this moment, everyone looking at me either confused or awestruck. They continued to drag me away from the area until a voice bellowed from the distance.

“Let her go! Let her go now!” I look up to find my knight in shining armour standing halfway between me and the bison. The guard restraining let me go, slightly pushing me afterwards causing me to trip right into someone’s arms.

“Are you ok?” A voice I soon recognise soon hits my ear drums. My grip on them becomes tighter as tears slowly begin to fall. The lay my head just under his neck, his wound becoming visible out of the corner of my eye.

“I-I’m so sorry…. This is all my fault…. If I never convinced you to leave, you won’t be hurt.” I slowly began to lose my voice as my tears increase. “I’m sorry, Zuko”
“No” He lightly pushed me back and looked into my tear filled (e/c) orbs. “It’s not your fault…. And it never will be.” He placed a hand gently on my cheek and lightly wiped my tear away with his thumb.

“What is your answer?” I looked at him confused slightly but then remember the ring that I was currently wearing on my finger.

“Yes” I say quietly, his eyes soon became watery too from my answer.
He bought me into kiss, completely forgetting about the hundreds of people currently surrounding us.

“Just promise me one thing (name), never make me leave you again” He gently picked me up and carried me back to the field, our field. He placed me gently on the grass. He grabbed a few tulips and daises that were growing nearby and placed them in my hair.
“Zuko? Can we get married here? I-I mean, we have so many memories here so I t-thought that it would be nice.” He pulled me into a quick kiss and ran his fingers through my hair.

“You just took the words right out of my month”

It’s done! Sorry that this has taken me so long, but I hope that you enjoyed it. Thanks you very much for reading ^^
