"Aren't you cold?" Mai asked.
It was a simple question, one that should have been answered with a 'yes' or a 'no'. Yet, when Zuko was asked it, he found himself rambling about his emotional confusion.
"I've got a lot on my mind. This is my first time back home in three years. I wonder what's changed…"
The image of an enraged waterbender flashed through his mind.
"I thought you had changed!"
"I wonder if I've changed." He said.
Mai yawned. "I just asked if you were cold, not for your whole life story." Seeing the prince was upset, she added, "Stop worrying."
Placing a hand on his cheek, she turned his head and leaned for a kiss. Zuko returned it, but didn't feel the same passion he usually did.
When the kiss broke and Mai walked away, he stared out at the sea, his mind stuck on the events of Ba Sing Se.
Author's Notes: That's right; I took a Maiko moment and turned it Zutara. xD
Not much to say about this. It was just sort of a random idea that popped into my head.
