Who Knew? (Zutara)

Still Breathing

~I'm like a child looking off on the horizon~

Zuko

'Hello Zuko'

'Ozai'

'Don't be so formal Zuko I am your father'

'Ozai'

I hissed at him

'You're too weak to rule Zuko'

'Your sister would be a much better ruler than you'

'She knows that we are not to be equal with the nations, but to rule over the nations crush them with our power seeing as they're all weak wanting nothing but peace'

'And you Zuko, are just like them'

'I'm not weak, if anything you're an idiot for not seeing that the right way to rule, is to be at peace with the nations'

~I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens~

'You're too evil, too full of hatred to see through your pathetic ego that the other nations are not weak, but strong, although they chose not to fight but not because they are weak because they knew it would only cause damage'

'I see you finally have a mind of your own Zuko'

~Oh, I'm still alive~

'Although I'm sad to say it's not what I wanted'

'You're just like your mother, you don't understand how this game is supposed to play out'

'This is not a game, the sake of the people, the nations, the elements is not a game!'

I was starting to get angry how could he possibly say that this is a game!?

'Oh Zuko you'll never understand'

~I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time~

'You're incoherent Zuko'

He chuckles as if this is some joke to him

'What about me is incomprehensible!?'

'The way you work Zuko, you don't seem to grip the idea that, we're not meant to be good'

'I am not you'

'I know you aren't, and you will never be'

'You're too blinded by being good, you let the bad run dry'

~I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine~

'The Avatar finally got to you, what happened to the, I want to regain my honor you'

'That me was when I actually cared what you thought about me'

'What type of father are you, what type of father causes this!?'

I gesture towards my scar

'To their son'

'You needed to be taught a lesson, and I simply did that'

It took all I had in my body not to end him, right there and then

'A father you are'

I say sarcastically, crossing my arms

~Oh, I'm still alive~

'Is there a reason for your visit Zuko'
