Chapter six

Is it love?

As we reached the shore of Ember Island Uncle Iroh did nothing, but talk about shopping. "you two should come with. It would do you good." "Uncle have you forgotten? Everyone will know who we are, if May-May and I go with you." Zuko said pointing at himself then me. I blushed and looked away, "Zuko they'd only notice you, and that might not even happen." I said looking out to sea. "May-May so you're saying that you wanna go shopping with him?" Zuko shouted being dramatic. "No." I said with a soft smile. "What?" Uncle Iroh whispered between us. I giggled and smiled at Zuko.

The boat reached the shore, and Uncle went off shopping. While me and Zuko took the bags, and belongings to the firelord's old summer house. I paused before entering the home, "May-May where do you want your things?" Zuko asked from inside. "Next to your room." I shouted entering the house. We got everything put away and stored. Now we only waited for Uncle to come home. "Ah, it seems there's going to be a storm tonight. Make sure all the windows are closed." "But there's not a cloud in the sky." Zuko protested. "I see that Zuko, but stay near May-May tonight. She doesn't need those memories brought back." Uncle Iroh whispered to Zuko.

It was a little after midnight when I heard rain falling. I was laying there with my eyes slightly open, and with every flash of lighting I saw something move in my room. Along with every flash a tear fell, and more fear built up inside. Everything was some what fine till I heard a noise behind me. Then I felt an arm around my waist, and a gentle motion to roll over. I did and let my tears out when I saw Zuko there, "Zuko!" I whispered wrapping my arms around him. He felt me shaking and held me tightly. "May-May it's gonna be okay. I'm not gonna leave your side." he said into my ear. I sobbed and tightened my grip.

Two hours went by, and neither of us let go or fell asleep. "May-May are you still up?" "Yes." I whispered into his chest. "Do you remember when I told you I loved you?' he asked backing up an inch. I felt scared to answer him, but I did. "Yes Zuko I do remember." I muttered. "Well my feelings have gotten stronger. I love you so much May-May. That I can't stop thinking of you. I can never sleep when your in pain, and in fact some how I know when you're in pain. May-May I love you." Zuko said before he kissed my lips softly. I felt it…the butter flies. He pulled away, "Zuko…I love you too." I said kissing him back. As we kissed he held me tight. Like we was scared to let me go, and I felt how he acted.
