Prompt: Avatar the Last Airbender, Zuko/Mai, ‘this doesn’t work if we’re both trying to dominate’
Summary: Zuko is both stubborn and impatient. This isn't a good combination.
Mai stretched in his arms and let out a long, long sigh.
Zuko frowned. It wasn't the kind of sigh he was supposed to hear in that kind of situation, not at all. It was one of those sighs that managed to convey "I'm bored" and "This is annoying" and "You are doing it all wrong" all at the same time. He let go of her bluntly and crossed his arms, glaring at her as he sat back up.
"What?" he asked. Mai brushed her dress with the back of her hand, making herself comfortable on the opposite end of the couch, and glared right back at him.
"Not the most romantic of tones," she said.
"Not the most romantic of attitudes."
She crossed her arms, looked away and sighed – again. Zuko rubbed his temples.
"I mean it. What?"
"This isn't going to work," said Mai, still staring at the wall.
"Well, what's wrong this time?" he snapped. "Why not?"
"Because," she said slowly, "this doesn't work if we're both trying to dominate."
"Then why don't you just--"
"Just what?" Mai interrupted him. That had finally made her turn to look at him, and it wasn't nice. "Just what, Zuko? Sit back and relax?"
"I wasn't going to say that!"
"Then what were you going to say?"
He just turned around and sulked, without deigning to reply. Well, truth be told, it wasn't so much that he was refusing to answer and more that even he could tell that 'I have no idea' wasn't precisely what she wanted to hear.
So they just sat there on opposite sides of the couch, arms crossed, each of them staring stubbornly not at the other. This could go on for ages.
Zuko was far, far too impatient for that.
First he risked a quick glance in Mai's direction; she was still not looking at him. He moved a little bit closer. Then, still somewhat awkwardly, he placed an arm around her shoulders.
"You're a fool," she muttered. A second later, she was kissing him and pulling him onto her side of the couch.
Zuko decided this was a very good time to let her take charge.
