AN: this is kinda half drabble, half poem, a style that has worked well for me in other fanfics. angsty zutara. reviews are appreciated. enjoy. :)


when she looks at him with those eyes

those blue eyes

he wants to take her then and there

because she is

his

but he doesn't,

he doesn't because she might be his

but she thinks she isn't

and on that night

the first night

he holds her down

(tooclosetoomuchtoomuch)

and asks for more than she can give

and she says

yes

and he takes it

all

everything she has

everything he has

and in the morning when they wake up

it's aang that finds them

and instead of fighting

(zuko is prepared for fighting,

for angry words and hot blows)

he cries,

like a child

(he is a child)

and maybe she cries too

and that hurts more than he thought it would

but he can't take it back

because he loves her,

loves

her and he can't help but think

that now she's his she must love him

too.
