———Zuko———

It had been years since what happened when the war ended. Now I was Firelord, now I had to be responsible, now was just as hard as ever.

I couldn't sleep, everywhere I turned someone was trying to kill me, assassins just waiting, I didn't feel safe.

It was late, I didn't know the time, but everything happening in the world kept stirring around in my head. I couldn't sleep, I sighed, lying on my elbows, it was hot, I wasn't comfortable. It was all wrong.

I poured out my sluggish feeling through another sigh, before going out of my doors to see Suki and Ty Lee guarding in their Kyoshi warrior armor.

Mia had hired them to guard me, "Like a baby in a crib." As she put it. She wouldn't admit it, but frankly she thought I was overly suspicious.

"Is everything alright, Zuko?" Suki asked.

I sighed, laying a hand on my face. "It's probably nothing."

"Well good! I'm tired I'd checking ever five minutes." Ty Lee winded.

"I'm going for a walk." I blew her off.

"You want one of us to go with you?" Suki questioned.

"No, I'll be fine."

As I walked I found my feet heading to a room I didn't really want to go to. I know she was my girlfriend, but she also needed her sleep.

Through the two years of being Fire Lord I had so much stress, pressure. I could always rely on Mia to calm me. I could count on her for anything.

But I found myself lonely, I hadn't seen Mia in so long even if she lived in the palace. I didn't know why I felt that way, but it wouldn't leave.

My feet stood at Mia's door, wondering if I should knock, or maybe just walk in.

The door quietly opened, I slowly walked in to see Mia laying in her big, red silk bed. I stopped at the feet of her bed, the moonlight came in through the small windows, it was a peaceful sound around her— the sheets and nightlight showed all her beautiful curves more prominently, her almond hair laid around carelessly.

Suddenly she moved to look at me, I chuckled to myself, of course she wasn't asleep. "Zuko?" Mia yawned. "What's wrong?" Her voice was soft. I hadn't seen that side of her in a long time, from the war, to becoming my best general, she had to be tough. But I did miss the gentle side of her, the side she showed me when we first met.

"Nothing..." I slightly smiled. "Go back to sleep."

"I wasn't." She sighed, "but I am tired." Rubbing her head, sitting up and showing that she was holding her sword the whole time.

"I can't sleep either." I looked up at the ceiling with a sigh, covering my mouth.

"Again?" Mia didn't seem pleased, moving her head sluggish. "Tell you what; you sleep tonight and see how well you actually sleep." She offered, patting the bed.

Being my girlfriend and all my mind immediately went to the other kind of sleep with, making me blush. "Oh come on, Zuko. Just lay down." She let out a tight chuckle while shaking her head.

I hesitated, but nonetheless, I laid down, letting my back rest.

"And I'll keep guard." Even if it was dark I could see the bags growing under her elegant green eyes, she couldn't help but show me all the signs of needing sleep.

She took a seat next to the bed, sitting there with the sword on her lap. Not closing her eyes that needed rest, as I stared at her profile, she the door.

It was so different from how we met. I almost forgot, I found her floating in the ocean. It's odd when you know someone so long, you almost forget how you met. I was so mean to her from the start, and yet she still loved me.

Now, we barely talked, and yet she still had a sacrificing love for me. Mia had to be the most caring person I knew. It seemed as if she did everything for me.

And yet I gave nothing back. I should help her back, it's what couples do, help each other.

"Mia..." I sat up. "You should sleep to."

She only smiled and shook her head. "Go to sleep, Fire Lord."

Her words almost sounded like permission, as I found myself climbing back in bed.

I still looked at her, that olive skin seemed so soft, her lips so precious, her eyes her most beautiful complexion.

—————

Somehow I found it was morning, I had fallen asleep. Finally feeling refreshed, I yawned. Turning to see, Mia still sitting there. Still awake.

She gave me a tired smile, nodding her head.

"You didn't stay up all night?"

"Anything to get you to sleep." Mia stood up. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep." She walked to me and kissed my forehead, staying right there for a few seconds.

As she began to walk away, I grabbed her wrists and pulled her to my level, and laid my lips to hers, letting the moment last. With Mia I felt things I hadn't felt before.

I felt, warm, loved, and safe.

"Mia..." I let our lips pull apart, still inches away. "Will you marry me?"

————Kyo — after Sozin's Comet———

It was late in the Fire Nation capital, I was making my way to the prison. It had been four days since Sozin's Comet, I had been going to Azula's prison cell everyday. She was always bitter towards me, yet I couldn't blame her.

I cracked the prison door open just enough for me to step in, then sat in front of Azula's cell.

There she sat in the far corner, in a ball almost hiding in the shadows.

It was odd really— before she was on the visiting side of the bars, now it was the opposite.

"Azula?" I moved the food I brought closer to the bars.

"Go away, Kyo..." Azula's voice was soft, broken almost.

"I brought you, your favorite." I tried to force a smile, failing badly.

"I doubt it." She kept her arms folded in the corner.

"Azula...?" I didn't know what to say, how to make things right again. If they ever were. "Princess?" She kept her eyes fixed to the wall. "I know you're mad at me. I get it." I sighed, looking at the steaming food. "But I was just trying to help you—"

"Help?! You call betraying me help?!" She snapped, now looking at me, making me jump inside. "Then you are a bad friend!" Azula went back to looking at the stone wall. "And I was a fool to think you otherwise..." That cunning voice broke, closing those ember eyes, holding herself tighter.

"I know I hurt you. And I'm so sorry! I can't offer anything to convince you, but I am!" I cling to the bars. "Azula, please!" I bite my lip hoping Azula could listen.

"You hurt me too, you know!? I was dead!" I stood up. "You hear me Azula!? You Killed me!" I yelled on the top of my lungs. I didn't care if anyone heard. "All I've done was for you, all I've wanted was for you! And what do I get? Lightning in my chest for protecting my sister!" I still held the bars, becoming angry, I could feel so much heat rising in my fingers.

"Kyo..." Azula whimpered, still not looking at me. Instead hiding her face. Was she crying?

I paused, immediately regretting getting mad at her.

"...I'm sorry." She chocked with a sob. I wanted to hold her, comfort her. But there was always something keeping us apart.

"I never meant to hurt you!" She suddenly stood up and faced me.

It looked as if she had been crying for hours, her eyes bloodshot, nose red, and her cheeks were wet with fresh tears.

"I'm... sorry. For once in my life I'm sorry!!" She clenched my hands on the bars, as strong as ever, yet I could feel them trembling. "I can't think of anything else but you!"

I couldn't hide the relief, I smiled, looking at those sparkling ember eyes. Someone I never wanted to see cry.

There we where, two enemies, not knowing how to feel. I didn't want to be mad at the Princess. And she didn't want to fall in love. Yet there we were. I always wanted her, and she never wanted anyone.

"I..." She breathed through the sobs. "I've never felt anything like what I feel for you." She tried desperately not to cry, biting her lush red lips. "I... L-love you." She let out one more cry, holding my hands tight.

"I knew you'd come around, Princess." I smirked through my tears, she finally admitted it.

Through the tears she let out a small laugh. I think she was happy.

I leaned my head on the bars, so did she.

I let my vision get blurry from tears, and saw it fall to the floor near Azula.

We were finally complete. A feeling I hadn't felt before. She was my everything, and finally having her meant eternity.

  ———Mia———

No one undersood why Kyo can't remember anyone but me and Azula. Maybe it was because he was almost killed, I don't know, but what I do know after the war we both found what we longed for.

I became the first earth kingdom colonial to be a fire nation general. And first Fire Lady of course.

After the war and all the peace treaty's, things began to heat up a few years later at Yu Doa, Aang wanted to keep things the old way, but sometimes there is no going back, and we had to fight over it.

After that Zuko began the search for his mom, taking Azula out of prison and naturally Kyo came along. I must admit I had a hard time not bitting her head off. But I got over it in a few years.

You know Smoke & Shadow, you know the one, the one that really made you feel bad for the Fire Nation in general. Well that never happened. After that it was peaceful in my new home Nation, except the South Pole, Zuko and I went for some negotiations and got attacked. You know... the usual. Life.

Kyo *sigh* Kyo is a whole other story. He disappeared for over three years with the Fire Princess. Leaving me without a brother, but he and Azula came back.

He told me he and Azula got married, bought a house in the upper levels of Ba Sing Se. Three years he was away he had a daughter, reminded me of Kyo a little, and a son just born.

I myself had three children, they became everything to me.

We won't say how we got back, we both don't like to talk about it. I guess we wish we were still there. Even if it meant in Avatar Korra's time. It's funny how this began with two curious children, it ended with two warriors.

^Mia going back to Be Sing Sa when she's older.

^^Mia and Kyo sucked in Legend of Korra, but I decided not to do it after all. It was going to be a Mia x Iroh - Kyo x Korra. The comic stuff is, Mia is a war criminal for pirating a water tribe ship when she was in UF. And Kyo is in the triads. If I made it now I would skip over the story and just do oc stuff.

So that's it. Just wow it took a year but it's done! That's the longest book I've made so far. So for those who like what I write which is probably one or two, I'm going to write an adventure fantasy next. It's called Ri and the Dragon, he goes on an epic quest to slay a dragon. Lol. I'm going to write a few chapters before publishing it. So you'll get the story smoothly. Happy Wattpading!
