The Lover

I woke up and saw Zuko's worrid face, "Oh May-May!" he cried hugging me. I grabbed him and wanted to never let go. "Zuko, I never want to leave your side again." I sobbed into his shoulder. "Your burn wasn't that bad, but it will scar." Uncle sadly said leaveing the room. I pulled away as if gasping for air. "May-May are you alright? Do you need anything? Please I'll do anything just to see you smile again." "Never leave. No matter what. Just promise me that Zuko." I muttered while drying my face. "I promise May-May. I'll never leave you ever again. No matter what." Zuko said hugging me tightly. "And I'll always love you for ever." He added lightly kissing my head. "Can you promise me something May-May?" I nodded looking into his eyes. "Will you never leave me, and will you always love me?" he asked brushing my hair back. "I promise to always and forever love you, and to never leave you Zuko." I said kissing his cheek.
