A.N.: Nope, I don't own Avatar. Sorry for it being so short. I will update.
The sky is beautiful, he thought. As he was lying down, he felt the harmless spikes of the grass beneath him, and the cool breeze caressing his face... blowing his hair... It felt relaxing. He was not wearing any royal clothes. He did not bother. Neither did he tie his hair like he should have. Wearing it down, it felt much better. His arms spread wide, like an eagle. His feet, were in a similar position. He lied there, trying not to think of anything, or... feel anything. Focusing on nothing but feeling... absolutely nothing. He wanted to forget the pain... the pain?
"Firelord Zuko,"
He did not bother to get up nor even glance, "What is it?"
How did he find me here? he thought, irritated.
The man sensed the irritation in his tone and tried his best not to fuel it more, "Firelord, sir. The avatar and his fiancee are waiting for you."
Fiancee? Zuko was even more agitated and depressed. Still lying, he clasped the grass and dirt, his nails dug in the ground. He closed in eyes and tried to relieve the frustration. Why was he so angry?
"Sir?"
"What?!"
"Well, sir, they are uhm- waiting for you."
Zuko sat up, almost instantly. His hands still clasping the ground. He let it go. Then he stood and clapped his hands to removed the dirt. His forehead crinkled, "Well? Where are they?"

Lee was in regret. He sighed, mentally. If he really did sigh, the Firelord would kill him. No doubt. Well, maybe he'd just shout at him. Why did he suck so much at earth-water-fire-air hand game? He cursed his critical thinking ability.
You'll be fine, they said. He's in a good mood, they said. Yeah right! Everyone knows ever since last week the Firelord has been in a bad mood. And I'm the one they sent to find him! I got yelled at! For no reason!
Recently, the servants have been wondering what was happening with Firelord Zuko. They were all victims of his sudden anger outbursts. He wasn't abusive, but he just seemed... sad. The Firelord saw some servant girls getting giddy over the Avatar's proposal to Katara. And he got so angry, he breathed fire out of his mouth and hands. It was a good thing no one got hurt. He apologized after. After that, Lee had an idea why Zuko was so upset. But, he didn't think of it too much because he'd just rather not. A mere servant guard shouldn't dwell on the personal affairs of the Firelord. But he did hope Zuko would be happy soon, it would be best for the whole Fire nation.
