I'm not even going to explain this, because I have no idea how it happened. It just... I don't know. It's not at all what I had planned, either, and I think this is the result of tha fter-midnight-ish-ness of the writing. Any pairing you like. For my part, I imagined this as Toko, but it can be any of the girls talking. I own nothing.
Please don't let him die. Please, he can't die. Not him. Not Zuko. Please... Zuko, are you listening to me? You'd better not die. I'm going to... I'm going to kill you if you die.
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Come on, Zuko. It's just a little bleeding, they got the bullet out. Your hands are cold. Why aren't you waking up? Don't die. Please, you can't leave me. How do you think I'll put up with life if you go and leave me alone? It'd be really rude... I don't think I could forgive you. Zuko? Please...
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Some doctor said once it helped to talk to people when they're hurt, but I don't think this is really doing anything. It was so stupid, you walking into the store just then. I don't think that guy actually would have shot anyone. Meng had already called the cops on her cell phone, then you had to go and show up and get shot... You're so stupid. Please don't die on me.
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Remember what you said at the beach? "I'll never leave you." Because I was upset at you leaving for that job in California, remember? You said you'd stay with me. You'd better keep that promise or... or...
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
There's too much time between the heartbeats. What's wrong? Your heart's so lazy, Zuko, tell it to pick up the pace. You know what happens if your heart stops beating. You can't do that to me. You promised.Zuko? Please...
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Can you wake up now? Please. Zuko! You've been out for way too long. You weren't supposed to die like this. You were supposed to become a teacher, remember? History, you said. Elementary kids, you wanted to teach them all about the past. You were always such a geek about that past. And we were going to get married some day and you'd die when you ninety years old, remember? You said that.
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Come on, you jerk. Please don't die. This is the stupidest thing you've ever done. If you were going to die from a bullet - which you're not- then you were supposed to die some heroic death. You know, actually saving someone. It wasn't supposed to be you walking into the gas station to buy a soda and getting shot. That's just... pointless. I know that guy's going to go to prison, but it doesn't seem fair that he's not the one in this stupid hospital bed right now.
Beep... beep... beep... beep...
Zuko, please. Zuko? Zuko. ZUKO! Oh, God, breathe, breathe, Zuko, please don't do this. Doctor! DOCTOR! Someone help, he's dying!
Beep... beeep... beeeep...
No, I don't want to get out of the way, let me get closer to him. ZUKO! Stop talking at me, I want to see Zuko, I have to hold his hand, ZUKO! No, I can't just be in the room, I have to be next to him! Let go of me... ZUKO!
Beeeeeeep...
Zuko...
