Raindrops
When Zuko woke up to rain falling upon the Fire Nation, he instantly cancelled all his meetings for the day.
This caught all of his advisors off guard. Why would he possibly cancel important meetings when everyone would be in the safety of the palaces warm, and dry walls?
Well that was the thing, he didn’t want to be confined to the palace on a day like this.
“Darling, you didn’t have to do this, you know.”
He gave you a soft smile. “Love, you know I am a man of my word. Have I ever let you down?”
You let out a breathy laugh against his wet robes. “Of course not.”
Much to everyone in the palaces’ horror, their very own leader was risking illness that could set back important plans for weeks, to do something so uncivilised to their class.
He cancelled all of his duties to dance in the rain. With you.
Lifting your head to look at him, you couldn’t help but break out a smile. He looked just as handsome as the day you met him… well almost, but that was something you could easily fix.
“My love, I don’t understand how you can do something that is supposed to be freeing of your soul with your hair kept up like that.”
Throwing his head back in a moment of joy, he remembered how that was exactly what you said to him all those years ago as you dragged him out into the rain. Taking his laughter as his acceptance, you wordlessly reached up, easily undoing the crown securing half of his long hair in a bun. With his hair cascading down his face, you can’t help but entangle your fingers into it, stroking the right side of his face with your thumb.
“You look beautiful like this.”
Zuko shakes his head, “isn’t that what I’m supposed to be saying to you?”
“Hmmm, possibly, but what type of lover would I be if I wasn’t honest?”
Pulling you closer, he continues to sway you side to side completely filled with warmth as he reflects on how wonderful this moment is. After all, it was the rain that brought him to you.
He takes a small step back, playfully twirling you out into the garden. Lifting your face to the sky, you take in all of what it has to offer. His heart feeling more content than ever as he admires the way you giggle at the rain, bare toes digging into the usually dried up ground. Just the sight of you made him feel free.
After having your small solo moment of fun, you bring yourself back into his chest. Back to your home.
Placing his hands on either side of your face, he can’t think of a more perfect time than this as he gazes upon your face. The rain making you look ethereal. “Y/n, my love, would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?”
“Oh, Zuko darling, I am yours even into our next lifetimes. For the rain will eternally bring me home to you.”
