Work Text:
Trees are bending, roofs are breaking, and furniture is flying away.
Yet, none of it is more damaging than the way you glare at me.
The lightning is blinding, the alarm bells are deafening, and the chaos outside is sickening.
Yet, none of it is more painful than the feeling I got when I saw your tears.
The rain is pouring, the wind is howling, and the thunder is booming.
Yet, none of it is louder than your sobs from across the room.
Even with storm raging outside, I can tell that the anger the it has is nothing compared to what you can unleash.
I know you're strong, I know you care, I know you feel.
I know I shouldn't have pushed, I know I shouldn't have yelled, I know I shouldn't have doubted you.
I know, I know, I know.
As you stared me right in the eye, tear marks on your cheeks and a glower pulling at your lips, I will never forget what you said.
"You think you know me, but you know nothing, Zuko."
