"we need to talk." he said in my ear. It took me a second to process what he had just said.
"and what do we need to talk about?" I asked as I tried to scoot away. I couldn't go far because of his restrictive arm around my waist.
"why are you here?" he asked closer to my ear. It was all a game to him I realized.
"because this arranged marriage will bring peace." I said quietly as I tried to wiggle free.
" stop." he said as he moved me onto his lap facing him. My legs were over the edge of the chair while my back was against the arm rest. I froze as we made eye contact. His eyes held anger in them. "why are you actually here?" he asked and it dawned on me that he wasn't whispering. He was angry and trying on to yell.
"to save my village." I said as I broke eye contact and stared at the balcony doors.
"how would us getting married save your village?" I could feel his eyes burning a hole into the side of my face.
"Ozai sent my father back to us with a message." I turned my head and stared at him in the eyes. "the massage was that he wanted a arranged marriage between the Princess of The Southern Water Tribe and his son. In return it he would end the war."
"he won't stick to that. at least not the way you are thinking." Zuko said as he searched for something in my eyes. "but you already know that. So why are you here?"
"if I didn't come he would destroy my village." I said while trying to hold back the tears. "he sent my father on a war ship. He was ready if I refused. I couldn't do that to the children." I said while breaking eye contact.
"so that is why you are here." he took a deep breath and I felt him exhale against my hair. "to save your village. That is why he chose you." he said under his breath.
"what is that suppose to mean?" I said as I met his eyes.
"that he chose someone with a bleeding heart." Zuko said as if he was bored now with the conversation.
"i was being human. I chose people over my own happiness." I pushed his shoulder. "so what my village isn't like the fire nation. At least I am doing something for my people." I said as I tried to shove his shoulder again but this time he grabbed my wrist and pulled my closer.
Our faces were inches apart. I could almost taste his lips they were so close. "don't do that again." he said as he brought me closer and enveloped me into a kiss. All she could do was hold onto his shirt as she melted into the hot kiss.
