Who: Iroh and Zuko
What: Iroh and Zuko have their sappy reunion. ♥
When: Right now.
Where: Town hall in Animal Crossing plot.
Rating: I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE. A FOR ANGST AND... ;_;



By the time Zuko finally made it to the Town Hall, his heart was already racing, whether it was from overexerting himself physically or the excitement of finally seeing his Uncle after so many months, he didn’t know, nor did he care. As he made it to the steps, his hands slid down his thighs to his knees as he bent over them, panting. His back hunched over, his shoulders heaving up and down as he took in a few deep breaths to steady the beats of his heart. When it failed to slow down, he knew for sure that the excitement of seeing his Uncle was what accelerated his pulse. Once he caught his breath, he stood straighter, wiping the sweat from his brow as he glanced around the area frantically. He didn’t even care about the ridiculous clothes he was wearing, knowing that he would allow his Uncle to have a good chuckle over that as much as he wanted. He hoped that it wouldn’t get in the way of their reunion, though.

He felt the palms of his hand start to perspire as his stomach twisted from anxiety. He was nervous, excited, happy, relieved-he felt all kinds of emotions that all hit him at once. He was overjoyed at the fact that his Uncle had finally showed up, not that he wished any of the problems Paradisa produces upon him, and he was happy that he was safe. He had felt an ache in his chest whenever he would think of him too often, from missing him and worrying over him. The ache had become all too familiar to him over time, which wasn’t exactly pleasant. He knew Iroh was a capable fighter and knew how to take care of himself, but that didn’t stop him from constantly thinking about his well being. He also held the overwhelming weight of guilt on his shoulders, regretting everything he had done to his Uncle in the past. He had betrayed his trust, his love, and Iroh had still been willing to give him the advice he so desperately needed.

His Uncle was truly too good to him.

Now he was given the opportunity to finally apologize and let his Uncle know that he loved him. He had made amends before and came up with successful results, but this was probably the most important to him. He had been genuinely apologetic towards Aang and his friends, but this was a lot more personal. He knew Iroh would forgive him and welcome him back with open arms, but he was still nervous about what he would say, even more so when he had apologized to Aang and his friends.

He pulled at the hem of his shirt, glancing down at the bunny on the front. He considered rolling it up to hide the embarrassing image so it wouldn’t be distracting in their reunion, but then he would just be showing off his navel… and that was even more …embarrassing. He quickly shook off the thought, mentally slapping himself for even coming up with the idea.

zuko, iroh
