Drabble #: 3
Summary: He murmurs sweet nothings in your ear, and the once-upon-a-time you would have fallen for them.
He murmurs sweet nothings in your ear, and the once-upon-a-time you would have fallen for them.
(you wish today you still could)
The once-upon-a-time you was a fool and an idiot.
(the you you'd give anything to be again; the you with the big dreams of equality and peace)
"I'll set you free," he whispers, and in that split second of life, you almost believe him.
Almost. You're smarter now, and you've lost too much to ever truly be free. He knows it, you know it. He should be the same, though you have to wonder if he even cares.
(anymore)
(I'll save you from the pirates, he said to the once upon a time you)
(you wish that once-upon-a-time you had taken the offer)
He murmurs sweet nothings in your ear, and if you still had a heart, it would break.
(once upon a time it was already broken)
A/N: That certainly turned out differently from what it was going to be… If you don't like Zuko/Katara, just ignore the 'I'll save you from the pirates' part and pretend it's whoever/whoever. It's vague enough…
