hatersbehatin Summary; After a certain few events over the past week, Zuko decides it's time to seek Mai out to talk. To really talk. And to give her back her communicator that he broke by smashing against the wall...
Log; Complete
Although Katara had managed to take away most of the pain Sunday night/early morning, Zuko still felt a twinge here and there. Her healing ability had come as a bit of a surprise to him, something he hadn't fully anticipated a waterbender could do. It had helped immensely with the aching and hurting muscles, however, the splotches of bruising along the expanse of his back remained but were hardly as dangerous a color as before.
Zuko turned the corner and approached the apartment just in time to spot the petite brunette stepping out to wave at him. She beckoned him to hurry up and so Zuko quickened his steps, pulling the door open wider. "She's not expecting you," she told him, "but she's on the third floor in our apartment. Be nice to her, Zuko! I worked hard to make her smile!"
And then Ty Lee was leaving his side to do whatever it was she had plans to do that afternoon.
He watched her go, frowning to himself. A paper brown bag in one hand, Mai's newly repaired network communicator in his back pocket, Zuko let himself in and began to make the climb up to the third floor.
What had happened that night on the roof, he was still trying to wrap his mind around it. Zuko had seriously thought he had bumped his head a little too hard and had imagined the kiss, but now... now he wasn't so sure. Thinking back on it, her lips pressing over his had felt way too real to not be.
