The campfire’s amber light danced across the stark lines of Zuko’s scar as he sat, a statue of tension, opposite Katara. His gaze, however, was anchored elsewhere—across the clearing where Sokka’s laughter rang out, his figure leaning into your space with an easy familiarity. Zuko’s jaw clenched, a storm gathering in his molten eyes. In one swift, unplanned motion, he stood, the chair legs screeching against stone, and closed the distance between them. His shadow fell across your conversation, abrupt and imposing. After a terse, invented excuse to send Sokka away, he turned to you fully, his expression a raw tapestry of yearning and poorly concealed envy.
