Zuko was sent home but didn't tell anyone, Iroh got a call but was unable to pick up his boy. So they let him walk but not drive home.

"Zuko are you okay? They told me you passed out," iroh limped over to Zuko with his booted cast when the teen closed the door behind him.

"I don't know," Zuko whispered still feeling dizzy.

"Go take a cold shower and get some rest, I'll make you something to eat, we'll talk when you're feeling better," iroh smiled gently but he was worried seeing Zuko like this.

"Okay," he mumbled taking off his shoes and went to the bathroom.

—

Zuko laid in bed with his sweats and a hoodie on but he couldn't sleep, he wasn't tired.

Durk jumped on the bed and meowed at him curiously, pawing at his nose as Zuko looked at the black car, he opened the blanket up to let the cat crawl under the comforter and purr curling up against him.

He felt like he had a concussion but he hasn't hit his head on anything, hasn't gotten in fights, he didn't know why he was feeling like this. That was the worst panic attack hes ever had.

Last time he passed out like that was when he got the call from the hospital about his uncle, after the fight. Did he just faint now every time he has a panic attack? Is that why?

There was a knock at the door and his uncle came in with a bowl, Zuko sat up with the hood over his head and took the bowl, tears weld up in his eyes seeing miso soup in the bowl.

"Thank you uncle," he gulped.

Irohs heart ached seeing his boy like this. He knew something from home would be more appetizing to the teen that would be easy on his stomach not knowing if he was nauseous, he set some crackers on the desk in case he was still hungry.

"What happened Zuko?" Iroh whispered as Zuko sipped from the spoon as durk tried peaking into the bowl curious.

"I got detention for talking," he kept his eyes down. Iroh frowned knowing that would never set his nephew into this kind of state. Not even the fights he's been in did this.

"There was a girl that won't leave me alone for a week now," he sighed.

"A girl?" Iroh didn't understand.

"She just keeps saying stuff that's bothered me, I've told her to leave me alone and she wouldn't, and today we had detention, she's given me this bad feeling and just for some reason I just couldn't breathe anymore and she-she was on me and kissed me and I couldn't moved, and everything just was hot and I freaked out, and I passed out again," Zuko set the bowl down on the night stand as he covered his face shaking his head.

"Maybe cause she kept asking me about dad and my personal life and my scar but I don't know why- what's wrong with me? I've gotten so much weaker," he whispered sniffling a little.

"Don't call yourself weak, you've been healing, yes you're more vulnerable but that's because your around people your comfortable being vulnerable with, that's not weak Zuko," iroh told him sternly.

"Why did i get a panic attack for that shit? I'm fine," Zuko gulped disappointed with himself.

"Overwhelmed? Stress? Easily just panicking and not knowing how to handle the situation, Zuko you shouldn't beat yourself over this, if this girl assaulted you too it can put your body into panic, you don't have to go to school tomorrow either, I don't want you pushing yourself to far," Iroh set the crackers next to the soup.

"I'll be fine by tomorrow," Zuko frowned.

"Zuko," iroh stood up. "You've been stressing out over me, your father, school, the shop, you need to take a break, your the child, I'm the adult,"

Zuko nodded softly not wanting to argue with his uncle. Iroh set his hand on top of zukos head for a small pat and rubbed the top gently of his hood.

"I think we should get take out tonight, pizza I'm feeling, and a movie," he smiled gently at him, Zuko nodded but stayed quietly.

"Come out whenever your feeling up for it," iroh told him calmly and closed the door behind him.

Zuko put his face in his hands again as he inhaled a shaky breath. Was that considered assault? Why couldn't he just get people to leave him alone? He doesn't like being touched, Katara earned that trust to touch him and Sokka earned the trust too, he understood why Toph held onto him and it didn't bother him, if he just stopped being so weak he could be better.

Why did he act like that because of Olivia?

His phone rang and Zuko looked to see Katara was calling him.

"Hello?" He answered with the phone on speaker so he could eat his soup.

"Hey I didn't see you at lunch or leave school? Did you skip again?" Katara asked curiously, school must've just ended.

"I passed out during lunch, they sent me home," Zuko told her softly as he sipped the soup from the bowl and abandoned the spoon.

"You passed out? Like fell asleep or did you blacked out fainted?" Katara sounded surprised.

"I... fainted," he mumbled.

"Why? Are you okay?" She asked worried.

"I'm fine, uncle thinks it's because I'm stressed out and I didn't sleep much last night or ate anything before so I think my body just shut down on me," Zuko pursed his lips. He didn't want to tell her about Olivia.

"Hes making me stay home tomorrow too so I won't see you till Thursday," he explained a little more.

"Oh, you blacked out because of that much stress? Yea take tomorrow off, do you need me to bring you anything? Do you want me to come over?" She offered gently and Zuko pursed his lips.

"I'm okay, I'm just going to sleep it off tomorrow and help in the shop, sorry I didn't tell you before," Zuko set the empty bowl down and grabbed the crackers to snack on.

"Don't worry about it, is it like when you blacked out when your uncle got in the accident?" Katara asked curiously and he shrugged.

"Something like that," he smiled softly at the sound of her voice.

"Well I think Olivia is scared of Suki now, maybe she'll leave you alone, who knew you'd get a stalker," Katara tried to change the subject but Zuko closed his eyes. How was he going to see her again? How was he going to tell Katara that she somehow put him into a panic attack and kissed him while he was in a panic attack? How do you tell someone you love that?

"Yea, I like crazy bitches but who knew that Bitch was insane," he laid down with his hand over his face.

"Hey You Calling me a crazy bitch?" Katara gasped.

"Sometimes, like a bitch you crazy, wild," he teased and she laughed.

"You're weird," she giggled.
