Mai hadn't been able to stand it. She had to bury her emotions quickly, but it had felt like they would well up to soon. It was to much for her to be able to handle on her own. Even after she awoke, she felt like she hadn't breathed till she was sure Zuko and Azula were alive as well.

And now she was to see Zuko. She hadn't bothered about looking dignified. She ran. She ran as fast as she could to get to the office building roof top. And after opening the door, she paused, staring at Zuko.

No blood. No wound. He had life.

"Zuko..." Mai said and rushed forward, wrapping her arms tightly around him. It wasn't in her nature to be so emotional, but then again, she never had something so horrible happen to her before.

The flame engulfing his hand was bent away as he saw her, opening his arms and wrapping them around her in a fierce embrace when she reached him. He held her tightly to him, as if she would fade away if he let go. Zuko remembered the look on her face as he died, the hurt and the pain, the emotions she wouldn't have dared showed under any other circumstances; he hated that he'd been unable to say anything to her and had tried to so hard to do so, but with no avail. But, none of that mattered anymore, for he was alive and she was in his arms. That nightmare was, for now, over.

He drew back after a moment and seized her face with his hands, pressing a quick, firm kiss to her lips. One hand remained on her cheek while the other slipped into her hair. He leaned forward to press his forehead to hers and closed his eyes, swallowing roughly. "I thought I was gone for good..."

Mai didn't loosen her hold. She didn't want to let him go again. Losing him twice before had hurt, but for him to die? It was thousands, millions of times worse.

"Zuko..." Mai whispered, trying to keep from breaking down in relief. It was just such a relief to see him alive! To be able to touch him and hold him and kiss him again. "I love you." She said and kissed him again.

Zuko returned the kiss eagerly, but drew back after a moment. "I love you, too," he said, "and I hate that I waited so long to tell you. I should've said it sooner--it shouldn't have taken a truth serum to make me say it. All that I did...leaving the Fire Nation, what will or won't or did happen at the Boiling Rock...I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you."
