CHALLENGE: #46: Et tu, brute?


Don't think I don't see the way you look at her, brother.

Don't think I don't see the obvious light of infatuation in your eyes. You delude yourself, thinking you hide it so well. But I can smell your scent, left on the marriage bed I share with her.

Don't think I don't see the way your eyes follow her swollen belly, the little gifts you press into her hands; a baby's chew toy, a tiny red blanket of silk, all fit for a soon-to-be-born prince.

You think it's yours. But let me tell you something. If the child is mine, then it's mine.

And if the child is yours?

It's still mine.


AN: Haven't done one of these in forever. I remember awhile ago there was some discussion about the possibility of Iroh being Zuko's father, which is what spawned this. Yes, it's Ozai talking.
