Zuko sipped on some tea and drew a deep breath. Being the Firelord was stressful. It had taken him the entire first year of being fire lord to get used to the pressures of the throne, but even today he struggled with it now and then.
Azula was seeking treatment at one of the best mental health institutions in the country. He would visit her every week and if he were being honest Azula still had a long way to go but every week she seemed a little better than the last.
Ty lee had joined the Kyoshi warriors and was off training at Kyoshi island.
That leaves us with Mai. Well there really wasn't a lot to say in that matter. Zuko and Mai both had realised they weren't the one for eachother soon enough. They were still really good friends but not a couple anymore. Their relationship had ended within two months too, so there really wasn't a lot of hurt or memories involved.
He missed his time with the gaang. He had joined pretty late and had barely gotten to spend a couple months with them, but still they were some of his fondest memories. He missed everyone, Aang, Sokka, Toph and Katara.
Katara and Zuko shared a bond, he didn't have with anyone else. Zuko had saved her life and Katara had saved his.
Even now when he thought about her a little smile crept on his lips. He really liked her but wasn't sure how or why and had assumed the chemistry must've had something to do with having saved eachother's lives.
Since Mai, he had a couple girlfriends but none that he was serious about.
He wasn't really into romantic relationships as of right now. He had a lot going on with the restorations and decolonisation efforts.
Oh, that being said, Zuko remembered there was this big meeting coming up in less than a week. Everyone was going to be there, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph probably even Suki and the rest of the Kyoshi warriors. In these five years it had only been a few times when the entire gaang had been together and he was looking forward to meeting them all again after so long.
