This takes place at the end of season 2. You know the place. Implied Zutara.

Her blue eyes filled with tears. They spilled down her cheeks in unending flows.

He desperately wanted to wipe them away. To hold her in his arms and tell her that everything would be alright.

He knew he didn't have the right.

Worse than that, he knew that he was the cause of her tears.

Why did he choose this path? What had led him to this?

The decision was made. This was his destiny.

But why did it hurt so much to see her cry?

He had to harden his heart. His path didn't lie with her.

Did it?

He shook his head. That's ridiculous.

He had to get home, his Father was waiting.

His eyes followed her as she moved further away.

That door was closed.

There was no hope there. Why was he even desiring it?

Hope? Desire?

Maybe... In another destiny.
