[rediscovering]

[ why is that infuriating, he has no idea BUT ]

NEVERMIND

[irritated]

what did i do??? i replied to you? what do you want me to do when you're just saying my name?? come at you with some poetry or some crap?

[rediscovering]

aurora wants to date gokudera

[ or something ]

[ ok, so so much for "nevermind," ahem ]

1/2

[irritated]

what?

[irritated]

what?!

WHY HIM? WHERE DID HE COME INTO THIS EQUATION?

[rediscovering]

idont KNOW

[irritated]

so does he just always have to mess around with your feelings? is this his thing?

that's messed up and that's saying something coming from me.

[rediscovering]

she asked HIM out
and he asked me if it was ok with me

[ drastically misrepresenting the text conversation that's still simultaneously in progress while he's texting this to Hikaru because lol teenagers ]

[irritated]

SHE asked HIM? why? why???

but also why is he asking you if you're okay with it? shouldn't he know? you two talk all the time? what kind of guy would do that?

it'd be like back in prisma if you had wanted to go out with taichi and asking me if it was okay. it obviously isn't???

but if you don't say yes then you're a shitty friend. i know the game.

what an asshole.

[rediscovering]

he just texted me out of the blue

DO YOU LIKE AURORA

fuck this

[ C-Continuing a theme here, though, this also reveals that Zuko has not actually explicitly stated that outright to Gokudera the way he has to Hikaru and Aang because, well, they were busy talking about everything else and hugging each other in their own continuing romantic tension that Zuko's also not told anyone else about, so... ...a dozen eggs on your face, your highness. ]

[irritated]

[If you ask Hikaru, Zuko's made it pretty obvious??]

WHAT DOES HE THINK? WHY IS HE ASKING YOU?

seriously fuck this guy. i swear he gets off on doing this crap to you. this isn't even prismatica? he doesn't remember that, right? so see? it's just in him to be like this. he's just an asshole that wants to feel all high and mighty keeping you in the place he wants you

[rediscovering]

but she asked HIM i think

i thought she liked me

[irritated]

listen she's a whole other thing right now. we'll deal with her later. like i thought she did? but now

hell if i understand anything going on anymore but this is so wrong

[rediscovering]

how is SHE a "whole other thing?!?!!?"
SHE IS "THE THING"

i don't understand ANYTHING right now

i JUST woke up two days ago with a GIANT FUCKING SCAR ON MY CHEST from my sister almost KILLING ME
ID RATHER BE WITH AZULA RIGHT NOW
AT LEAST I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT WITH HER

[ How does Azula make her way into their conversations about romance so much... but also, Zuko, this is maybe not the time to reveal this new fun fact you gained during your special nap!!!! ]

[irritated]

AZULA TRIED TO KILL YOU? IN YOUR WORLD?

AND WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS NOW???

[Every day he thinks about Kaoru and right now he is desperately wishing he had Kaoru to help calm this all down.]

[rediscovering]

no she tried to kill katara
but i jumped in front of her lightning
she cheated during our agni kai, it was a fight for the throne, katara was on the sidelines
so really katara won... she chained her to a grate. azula went wild.
it was so sad. watching her...
and i guess after that, azula told me here, i put her in a mental asylum.....

that's the only memory i gained after zunyan put me to sleep.
azula going crazy in our agni kai. and trying to kill katara. and shooting me with lightning. and katara healing me.

AND NOW THIS.

[ Zuko, you're being way, way, way too casual... Why are you more upset talking about Gokudera and Aurora than, um, this wild ass story you neglected to mention before...? ]

[irritated]

azula talked to me about how she wanted to murder gokudera and i had to tell her it was a bad idea and you'd hate her for it and she didn't care so uh

too much murder. how many people has she gone after?

why do you care more about gokudera and aurora?? why are we even talking about all of this like it's related?????

[As he is also now talking to Gokudera.]

[rediscovering]

[ ghirjsknfd think quick, prince ]

because i'm already stressed about that after i woke up
and my connection grew weak with zunyan because i was depressed about azula and uncle disappearing
that's what zun told me in a dream... i think.......

anyway i just
didn't expect this...

[ And he's realized since Azula leaving that he still fancies Gokudera and he's confused but doesn't want to tell Hikaru because he knows he won't approve... ]

and in any case!!!
WHY did you never tell me Azula reached out to you wanting to murder Gokudera?!?!! what the fuck?!!? WHEN??

[ He's not answering the question about how many people Azula has gone after... cuz it's, like... everyone? ]

[irritated]

if i told you then you'd go to her and then she could have gone after me?? i know how this crap works. especially since she seems so kill-happy.

[He's here to survive, damn it. And if Azula did really go after Gokudera then he had guessed Gokudera would be fine up against her. Unlike Hikaru, who wouldn't have been able to make it.]

but listen she asked gokudera out, right? did you ask her yet?

[rediscovering]

azula's..... bluffing. half the time.

[ That's still not great, Zuko... ]

anyway... i did ask aurora out. the day i woke up. we're going out to tea tomorrow.

i'm also going to message this woman i know who owns a flower shop. and i'm going to paint her something. i don't know what yet.

[ He's kicking it into high gear, Hikaru, be proud of him. ]

[irritated]

i'm not basing my survival on a 50/50 chance.

[He wants to live, Zuko.]

so did you say this was a date to aurora? or courting her or whatever? did you make that clear?

[rediscovering]

i plan to.

i said "i'd like to take you out to tea tomorrow if you're free."

but she said she's working...

...do you think she lied because she knew she was going out with gokudera today?

[ Zuko, you lil paranoid fuck, just trust her. Why, suddenly, would you assume Aurora is a liar? Get out of your head. ]

[irritated]

[Learning not to assume the worst about people is still something that Hikaru is learning so when even he's like damn chill? You know you need to chill.]

or she had work and then plans with gokudera. probably wasn't trying to hide this from you?

but you two have been doing this for ages and she's some girl from the woods who just had a lot thrown on her plate. also from her time you can't exactly be forward when you're in her position.

[But then she asked Gokudera out??? There's a lot he doesn't understand about this situation.

But talking to Gokudera has him concerned about something:]

are you upset at gokudera for aurora asking him out? or aurora for asking him out?

[The last question can be taken a lot of ways.]

[rediscovering]

both......? whats the difference? same result, it's not me

[ He's thick, Hikaru, you know that. He needs it spelled out. ]
