Summary
“Ah, you’re awake.”
Zuko sucks in a deep breath, trying to calm himself and gain his bearings before he opens his eyes. “…Katara.”
He can hear her shuffling. There’s the gentle splash of water, and Zuko’s senses finally right themselves enough for him to feel the cloth on his head.
He struggles to sit up. A hand, firm but gentle, pushes him back down.
“Rest.” The waterbender tells him, her voice soothing in the way that only she can be, the hidden strength and heart of the group’s determination. “You should’ve told us that you weren’t feeling well. What did we say about weakness?”
Absurdly, irresponsibly, stupidly, Zuko feels the ages-old anger rise up within him. He’s not a child. He doesn’t need to be cared for like this, not when the nation is suffering because of his family’s deeds, when there’s so much work to be done and the world is still smoldering from the fire they fought so hard to put out.
But what falls out of his mouth is, “I can’t afford to be weak right now.”
OR: Zuko is not having a grand time after getting struck by Azula's lightning. Luckily, his friends are there to help.
