A/N- Here's a Maiko story for my anonymous reviewer Hi and all the Maiko fans out there.

Under the Sun

They sat there, kissing under the shining sun. Many people often asked them, why did they do everything under the sun? Why not the moon, that was more romantic, right? Well, not for them. They were Fire Nation. Even more, he was a firebender. And not just any firebender, he was the best firebender that was currently living. He was a former banished prince, but now he was the ruler over the country that exiled him all those many years ago.

But none of that mattered to her. All that mattered to her was that he was happy. She was willing to sacrifice everything for him, and she believed he would do the same for her.

And indeed he was. In fact, he loved her. But sadly, he didn't have the courage to tell her. He had turned his back on his country to stand up for what he believed in and defeated his father, ending the hundred year war, but he still had not courage to tell her how he felt. But he could no longer keep it in, he had to tell her.

He could feel that it had just stoked noon by how the sun was radiating down on them. It was time to tell her…

He pulled away from their hot kiss to get a good look at her. She was so beautiful to him, that he had to snap himself out of his trance so he could gather up his courage to tell her.

When he pulled away, she looked into his eyes and she got lost in his golden orbs. Him clearing his throat is what brought her back to reality. He was looking down.

"I… uhh… just wanted… to… umm… tell you… I… I…" he snapped his face up to hers abruptly. "I love you Mai."

Mai smiled and could feel tears of happiness stinging her eyes. "I love you too Zuko," she said softly.

He was so relieved that he presses his lips to hers sweetly and then embraced her tightly.

As he embraced her, she snuggled into his chest and listened to his heart beat. Right then and there. Under the sun…

A/N- Okay, I know that was kind of OOC, but this is how I think they would be if to each other if they got together. I still apperciate your reviews and will try and incorporate your advice into my stories.
