Drabble time! Just to prove you I'm not dead. :3
Ever.
Jet stared at the flame raising from the palm of Zuko's hand, not able to speak for a full ten seconds as he was shocked seeing his lover bending the element earth had feared for milions of years... Fire.
'You...' Jet said quietly, a voice as shrill as his heart now. 'You're a firebender.' Zuko nodded quietly and closed his eyes in shame. 'I wanted to tell you before, Jet, but you never gave me the chance to do so.' he whispered, leaning closer to him and trying to make sure the flame wouldn't harm him. He had such a beautiful face, it would be a shame if any scars would ruin that for him too.
'I knew it.' With that Jet got up from the tree they leaned to and walked off, tears burning behind his dark eyes and his eyelids tremlbing just a bit. How? How could he? How could he betray him like that! He had sworn himself not to cry if anything like this would happen and now it was so hard. So fucking hard not to.
Zuko got up as well and followed him for a few steps. 'Jet, I-'
'Shut up!' Jet snapped back, trying to sound mad instead of sad though the sadness dripped off his voice. 'I never want to see you ever again! You heard me?'
'But Jet, I lo-'
'No!' he yelled, making his voice echoe through the woods. Zuko winced just a bit, feeling his right eye becoming watery as well. Jet glared at him, tears stuck behind his eyes right now he wanted to let go of them. 'I hate you, Zuko, I hate you!'
Ouch. That hurt. A lot. Zuko felt his words boring through his heart like a spear, causing the tears to come for real now. 'But Jet!' he yelped, feeling tears streaming down his right cheek all of a sudden. 'You never hated me when I kept it a secret, why? Why does it make such a difference?'
'You're a murderer! God created all head sins and all of them are running through your vains, because you're a Goddamn firebender!' he yelled back, tears dripping off his chin too now. Zuko tried to walk closer to him, but with every step he took Jet took two of them away from him. So he stopped walking and remained where he was. Jet gasped upon hearing the first sob, followed by uncountable more and Zuko saying his name mixed with it. He saw his old lover sinking to the ground and locking his arms around his knees, hiding his face to them as he continued his sobbing.
'I love you...' he whispered, so quiet Jet couldn't understand him. He looked over his should back to the firebender and froze. 'What did you just say?'
'I love you.' Zuko said again, louder this time. ' I love you and you hate me, just because I was born this way.' He tried not to sob again, he felt ashamed crying just once so crying twice would be unthinkable. 'Please, please don't leave me for this, please...'
Jet was doubting, staring at his lover's hands. Murderers.
'You're the only one I've ever loved.' Zuko said, getting up again and slowly walking over to him. Jet Bit his lip and walked closer to him too, until they both were facing. Zuko wiped his love's tears away with his thumb and releasing a final sob. 'I'll never bend again.' he whispered, fearing he'd break the lovely silence with his words. 'I swear. Cut my hands and feet off, keep my mouth closed and lock me away, do anything you think that's necessary for stopping me from bending, but don't leave me. I'll die if you do so.'
He blinked a last tear away and looked him in the eye for a moment. Gold, the way he had always loved them. Eventually the couple just crashed into each other's arms, holding each other tight and sobbing just a few more times.
They loved each other. And no matter how hard they'd want to, they'd never get rid of each other. Ever.
G2g to sleep now, cya! 3
