Your shoulder had gotten a lot better the doctor came to look at it,he said it was good but you still needed to stay off it and still had to have that stuff applied to your wound,after what happened with you and Zuko things where good,he didn't want you tell Iroh anything about it,but you did anyway which made Zuko feel embarrassed you told Iroh the whole thing he just laughed at it but he was happy for you both,your hair got longer to your shoulder which you didn't mind,you would tease Zuko about getting some hair pieces since his hair was so long,they both still went to work at the tea shop while you stayed home Iroh bought you some plants to take care of while you where at home which you didn't mind but it did not help you laying around the house,you wanted to get out and earthbend or firebend but you couldn't do either of that,so you just decided to practice on your martial arts moves that you learned from the Kyoshi warriors,you where not able to do your full power due to your wound but you went at it anyway,one time you didn't hear Zuko and Iroh come that he caught you working out which got you band from your fans Iroh took them from you that night you also found out that Iroh was offered to open his own tea shop you where happy for him but Zuko wasn't at all which made you upset but you let it go
Right now you where sweeping up the floors of the place it was somewhere around late morning as you where cleaning,you had on some lunch for you and redwood you could hear him outside growling
"Alright, alright"you tell him placing the broom down as you go over to the stove and take off the food that you had made,it was nothing more then some noodles meat lovers kind,you put it in a big bowl and fan it you then go to the window and call to him,he opens his mouth you pour it"There much better"you tell him laughing
it was cut short when you heard Iroh and Zuko came home which surprised you,it wasn't their normal time,you where about to greet them when you saw how Zuko looked like he was sick,Iroh led him to his room you quickly followed him as Iroh placed him down
"Uncle I don't feel so good"he tells Iroh
"Whats wrong with him"you asked Iroh coming to his side looking at Zuko"Is he sick?"you asked
"..."Iroh"Avani can you get some water and towels"he tells you,you look at him then at Zuko,you didn't waste anytime at all as you got them,you filled two buckets of water you carried them back one by one then went to get the towels and a little dipper for Zuko to drink out of,you came back Iroh had placed a wet towel on Zuko's forehead.
"Whats wrong with him"you asked him looking over Zuko with worried eyes not sure what was wrong with him
"...Here"Iroh gives him some water to drink,Zuko takes the dipper but then takes the whole bucket and starts to drink it he made a mess and throws the bucket away from him and lays back down
"I'll get some more wa-"you
"No stay here with him"Iroh tells you as he gets up to get more water
You watch him leave the room,you turn back to Zuko,you grab his hand in yours and squeeze"I know your going to be alright"you tell him,he didn't say anything to you at all,you felt him squeeze your hand tighter,you didn't mind at all as long as he was alright that was that matter,you watched him you would replace the towel with a new one you didn't really move from your spot iroh came back and further with some water Zuko drank so much of it,as you watched you him,you thought of when Toph had gotten sicked and Taiyo,you imagine them by Zuko toph her younger self calling out to you and then Taiyo a little boy around the age of 1 or so,you never like seeing people sick at alll it made you feel so helpless,you brought Zuko's hand up under your chin you rested your chin on his hand,you closed your eyes and looked right at him you never worried so much over anyone like this besides your sister and Taiyo,just then Zuko started to move in his sleep he was mumbling something,you look at him"Zuko Zuko"you call to him"its alright its ok"you tell him as he fights off his dream,you then hug his body as tight as you could"Its alright Zuko"you tell him"It's alright"you try to hold on to him as much as you could but your wound was starting to get sore but you didn't care he seem to have stopped after a while,when he did you looked up at him,his temp went down which was good,you sigh as you stayed by him the rest of the night
The next morning Zuko woke up,he felt a lot better from what happened he was still laying down*W-what*he asked himself
he was about to get up when he felt someone on top of him,he looks and sees you laying on half way on him your hand on was his chest he looked at you,he looked and saw your hand in his just then he heard you mumbling"It's alright Zuko"
he looked at you,he started to sit up as slowly as he could without waking you,when he did move you did just alittle by grabbing onto him tighter he stopped looking at you,you look like you where about to cry he was about to touch when iroh came in
"You're up"he looks at him
Zuko looked at him"yeah what happened"he asked
"You went on a spiritual metamorphosis after you freed the bison"iroh tells him,zuko listen to him but was looking at you iroh followed his eyes he smiled at you"she was up almost all night with you...she just feel asleep about3 hours ago"iroh tells him
zuko looked at him surprised,then back at you"do you need help taking her off"Iroh asked him about to help
"No"Zuko tells him,he stops and looks at him"let her rest"he tells him as he lays back down with you this time putting you in a straight position he still let you rest your head but on his shoulder closer to him,hand that had yours with his he used to pull you closer to him,he then pulled the covers over you and him with your head still showing,he then placed his chin on the top of your head and closed his eyes holding you closer,iroh watched you both he smiled at you both and left the room closing the door behind him.
