Chapter 7

Hello Guys so it's not perfect with my hand but thanks for all of your support I will continue to write but I'll be a little slower so sometimes I can be 1 or 2 days late so don't worry I don't forget you.

I promised you 3 chapters so it's one today (23/06) , one tomorrow (24/06) and one Tuesday (25/06) . I know I promised 3 chapters this week but when I'm writing this it's Friday 00:17 so it's too late for me to continue the story. So next week I will post the chapter on monday with the chapter on Saturday

I'm sorry I stopped the story not at a really great time because this chapter will be slow and not really interesting it's a transition chapter the next two will be really good you have no idea

Since I'm back from a week absence there will be no review challenge on the two chapters that will follow this one the challenge for every day chapter is now at 12 reviews before chapter 9 (I will probably talk more about time travel in chapter 9)

Don't forget I'm French and I never learned English apart from at school so if I make mistakes please tell me and with compassion not hate would be good :)

Since I was absent for 1 week you know what I did ? Well neither do I. What I know is that I still don't own avatar . I didn't buy it :(


Zuko arrived at the Southern Air Temple quite fast when Katara wrote to him that Aang had problems, he took the first airship he could.

Since the end of the war the young firelord became quite fond of the avatar's company and of the young boy himself. They even became friends but not only friends they became as his ancestor said 'Life long Friends' friendships could really last more than one lifetime.

"Hey, what are you thinking about ?" his girlfriend who just entered the room and saw him watching through the window asked.

"Baby ?" she asked him. She was quite fond of using endearment's words. He never really used them; he thought that it was more important to show his love for her than to tell it. But she knew him so well that she knew that when he was not thinking clearly or that he was thinking about something else he called her sweetheart it became quite fun for her to tease him about it because he never called her that apart when he wasn't concentrating. She then was shocked when he responded

"Oh hey My Love" He only said. She knew what it meant she knew that he couldn't have said that for the first time like it was nothing.

She was shocked so shocked that she didn't move or said anything to him she just stared at him with love and shock in her eyes

He didn't saw his girlfriend stare at him, he didn't saw her because he was watching at the window thinking about his friend and asking himself if it was severe. He used the term 'My Love' like it was obvious he knew that she was the love of his life but he never said it outloud. But this time he said it but he said it without thinking about it he said it like it was obvious and normal.

Ty Lee on her side knew that he loved her but she never knew that it was like this the fact that he called her 'My Love' meant a lot for her she took it like he said "You are my only true Love" or even "You are the Love of my life" she couldn't take it she had to know if it was what Zuko meant she had to know she couldn't wait any longer so she asked him directly

"Do you really believe it ?" She said a little worried about his response she knew that the last time he said to someone that he loved her was Mai and that it didn't finished well but she asked herself if she could compete with his first love with the love that saved him many times in the past so she continued her question worried but hopeful, hopeful that she could be enough, hopeful that she could make him happy, hopeful that it was true : he loved her. "Do you really love me ?" she asked but she knew it was not what she meant what she really meant was "Am I now your true love, the love of your life, despite Mai and all that happened"

Zuko on his side didn't heard Ty Lee's question and started asking himself two questions : how did he let Aang get hurt, because he supposed he was hurt, the young avatar was his best friend and after Katara he was probably the one who knew the airbender the best that's why he asked himself how he could have done it, how could he let it happen.

The second question was of course the marriage he thought to ask to Ty Lee on her birthday on the Fire Nation but now they were gone and with Aang probably hurt it was not a very good time to ask her, he thought that it could be maybe on the birthday of their couple but he started dating her a few days after her birthday like a gift he gave her. But they would probably still be at the Southern Air Temple to check on Aang's condition so it was not the best time.

Maybe he could ask her any day but he wanted to make it special. He wanted to make it a day she could remember all her life, a day special to them already.

While Zuko was in his world, Ty Lee grew more and more anxious; she didn't knew how to make him talk to her. She asked herself if maybe it was the right time to ask the question. She was scared most of all that she was going too fast like always and that maybe Zuko would break up with her because she was once again unbearable. She was shaking with fear : she loved him with all her heart, with all of her being, but she knew, she knew him, she knew that it was complicated for him to talk about his feelings after Mai. She knew that telling him that she loved him without him telling her back was quite common and she didn't minded but now she could not wait. She had to know after the fact that he called her 'My Love' she had to know if he said it just like that or if he meant it.

After 3 or 4 long minutes she took all of her courage and called to him but loudly this time "Zuko"

Zuko was pulled out of his torpor and he looked at his girlfriend shaking he didn't know what had happened but he thought she was attacked, he never saw Ty Lee shake at all she was scared of course but she was a talented warrior and nothing could make her fearful in a battlefield he knew her and he knew that it had to be something really frightening to scare her like that so he rushed at her side "Where is it ?" he asked, clearly concerned for her. "Are you hurt, did it hurt you ? Are you in pain…" he asked her all of those questions because now he was the one terrified : he loved her even though he never said it, even if it was hard for him he loved like she loved him with all his being and he hoped that she could soon become his wife. He was terrified at only the idea, only the possibility of losing her, she was all of him.

Zuko couldn't finish his questions because Ty Lee interrupted him "Did you meant what you said ?" she asked him still shaking

"What ? What did I said ?" he was afraid that he said something about the marriage to her, he was afraid that the whole surprise could have been broken. He wanted more than anything now to ask her to marry her to make his life all of his life with her. All of his being told him to ask her now she was so afraid and he was probably more afraid than he ever was. Maybe the all surprise would be broken but he would have his answer. But he prepared this surprise for months and it could not be broken. So he asked again "What did I say ? Was it something bad ? I was thinking about Aang so I don't remember sorry" he was lying. Of course he thought about Aang a lot but logically his mind went back to her, the love of his life, his thoughts wandering and about how he could ask her.

"Do you really love me ?" Ty Lee asked "Or was it by mistake that you said 'My Love'" she asked, she was afraid of the answer but at that point she had to know, she had to know if their love was real or not.

Zuko was shocked. He never thought that he could say it outloud but he said it this time and now he had to answer, he had to decide if he wanted to ask her now.


Here is chapter 7, a chapter about love. There will be a few in this fanfic so I hope you liked it. Sorry it was short but you won't be disappointed about the next chapters

2 little games for you : first, when do you want Zuko to ask Ty Lee ? Now or after knowing that I will probably not write something like that for a while so it's your choice but know that I will not wait to write a love chapter to make Zuko ask Ty Lee because I will use their engagement as a big part of this story same goes for Kataang

2nd : go back to all the chapters without a name and propose a name I will take the first one that is proposed (if it is serious of course :))

The questions now

Is Zuko gonna ask Ty Lee to marry him ?

Is Zuko gonna be able to confess his love for Ty Lee ?

How will Ty Lee react if he does both ?
