wait did you
did you just leave her at the table?

[ZUKO?????]

[rediscovering]

i told her i went to find zunyan

[ He can't even bear to just say "yes." He's the worst. ]

[irritated]

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT???

GO BACK TO HER RIGHT NOW SHE DEFINITELY KNOWS THAT YOU WEREN'T LOOKING FOR ZUNYAN

[rediscovering]

DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT
I PANICKED

[irritated]

STOP TALKING TO ME

GO TALK TO HER!!!

[rediscovering]

OK BYE

2/2

[rediscovering]

[ Give him like, uh... five minutes... or less, even... to make an unpleasant discovery. ]

im a fucking idiot

[irritated]

she's gone isn't she?

[rediscovering]

yes...

[irritated]

you could have just said you needed time to think

[rediscovering]

i know
i screw up all the time
with mai with azula
i'm just not great at this stuff...
mai was right— you remember when you heard our breakup in the bubble?
im hotheaded and reactive and jealous and blow up over every little thing
even when i managed not to do that... i messed things up in a different way.

[irritated]

stop being so dramatic

message her right now and just let her know everything.if you don't want things so complicated then that's what you do

[rediscovering]

i just did...

[irritated]

it better not just be 'hey'

[rediscovering]

of course not!!!

i know im stupid for this but im not THAT stupid

[irritated]

you walked out on her

and you're telling me this?

[rediscovering]

it wasnt WALKING OUT, i told her id be back!!!
technically she walked out on ME

[ Not a good take, Zuko. ]

[irritated]

great argument. i'm sure it makes all the difference for her.

[rediscovering]

shut up i know i fucked up ok??!! we'll figure it out...

[irritated]

got a plan?

[rediscovering]

YES…
we just need to meet up again. we cant leave it on that note.

she just responded. I feel like such a jerk.

[irritated]

i mean you kind of are.

[You can't say Hikaru isn't anything but honest.]

[rediscovering]

thanks, best friend
that helps a lot

[irritated]

it's my job to be honest and tell it like it is. you acted like a jerk.

but if you're trying to do something about it then you aren't one.

[rediscovering]

[ That's... actually a really wise distinction. It gives Zuko pause to consider it. He takes his time to text Aurora instead, chewing on Hikaru's words, stewing in his own feelings still, just... sitting outside the teahouse awkwardly himself, now. ]

i AM doing something about it.
she says she still wants to date me. and she will meet me again to talk about this.
