"The scent of burned wood mixed with that of lilies, the faint trace of flowery fragrance only distinguishable now that Aang’s face was buried in the front of Zuko’s shirt. The airbender lay on top of the other male and felt the other’s heartbeat speed up from adrenaline until it matched his own."

That...that was so beautiful. *tearbends*
I..I want to replay that scene in my head forever and ever. *_*

Very nice chapter! Haha Aang is nervous. And Zuko knows! Wow, never knew he could catch on so quick! I always thought he was the clueless type. xD

Thank you. I loved writing that part so I supposed that shows in overly-poetic prose. Not to mention I love the thought of flower-scent sticking to Zuko's clothes. XD Glad to hear it wasn't cheesy.

And Zuko is still very much clueless about Aang liking him back. He actually figured that Jun had compared Zuko and Aang to each other in terms of manliness and that that was the reason for Aang being so awkward around him suddenly. I think Zuko would have acted a bit differently if he had figured out that Aang was nervous because he liked him back.

Oh I see, quick when it comes to figuring out what happened to Aang, but still clueless when it comes to love....

that's our Zuzu! <3

[darth_animus]

That definitely sounds like our Zuzu. XD

The first thing that I think is "I love this story." There's such a nice balance of angst and romance and teasing...it makes me want to squeal. And good Avatar fics are so hard to find too!

[darth_animus]

Thank you. I'm glad that the story comes across as balanced, since it mostly consists of snippets and those are sometimes hard to keep tied together.

‘Back off, before I kiss you!’

YOU! I got so excited. At first I thought Aang had said this out loud, and totally went "WAT. Well if that's how we're gonna do this, I'll deal with it B)" but then I figured it out. You're still gonna make me wait :( lol

[darth_animus]

Sorry. XD Maybe I'll write a oneshot where Aang really DOES say that. And then I'll dedicate it to one of my biggest fans. *insert meaningful look here*

ASDKFLSALKDSFH that would be the best thing ever haha. I love the idea of it already, I'd jump all over that if you ever wrote it.
I'd also feel way too special XD
