Chapter Text
He was finally on his own. Practicing firebending forms always helped him think. And ever since he had rekindled his firebending with the help of the dragons Ran and Shaw, he had gained a new appreciation and sensitivity for how his emotions and choices were connected to his bending. He could feel it in the plumes of fire he was creating right now. His own indecisiveness. The flames were strong, but fickle and unsteady.
This time, however, he knew what the problem was: Aang was his best friend. The only true friend he ever had. No one had ever extended such compassion and trust to him. Aang was good and wise and courageous, and he had accepted Zuko despite his dark past, despite all his mistakes, his shame, and his betrayal.
And yet the attraction Zuko felt for Aang’s body was entirely different from friendship. Just the memory sent shivers of lust down his spine. Their skin rubbing against each other, Aang’s moans when Zuko had taken his cock in his mouth, and the expression on his face after they came together. His bursts of fire flared up and down erratically at the mere thought of it.
Feeling this lust for another guy was wrong. Everyone in the fire nation knew that. The fire sages had taught him from a young age that a man could never love another man. This attraction he felt was just a primal appetite of the lowest kind. Something to be buried along with all his other shameful deeds. He had to –
Zuko suddenly interrupted his form and froze, the flame at his hands extinguishing completely. Something just occurred to him. The fire sages had been wrong about many things. Maybe they were wrong about this too? What exactly was his attraction to the airbender, and how did it start?
Zuko sat down and closed his eyes. He thought back to the temple of the sun warriors. When Aang had first wrapped his skinny arms around his waist, trying to steal some of Zuko’s fire for the masters. Or maybe it started day before when Aang trusted Zuko enough to go on that expedition with him in the first place. When he had looked Zuko in the eyes and, despite Katara’s reservations, welcomed him as part of the team and given Zuko a second chance.
No, it had started much earlier than that. When Aang had discovered his secret identity as the blue bandit and still rescued him, even suggested that they could be friends. That gentle act of kindness hat taken him completely by surprise. At the royal court, Zuko was used to proud and patronizing ceremonies of pardon that made people grovel at their lord’s feet. But for Aang, forgiveness seemed to come as naturally as his giggle. And was just one of the many things Zuko loved about him…
Zuko’s eyes flew open. His mind stuck to that last thought. The things he loved about Aang. It was not just the airbender’s body. It was his wide eys, his goofy laugh, his tender hugs, his gentle mind, his wise and compassionate heart. These were not feelings of friendship tainted by lustful thoughts. They were only one single feeling. Love. He took a deep breath and remembered his uncle’s words.
“You are not the man you used to be. You are stronger and wiser and freer than you have ever been.”
Yes. He was free now. Free to make his own choices and find his own path. And he had found his path. He loved Aang.
Something bubbled up in him, and before he knew it, he was laughing.
Zuko quickly clasped his hands over his mouth. He never laughed. He decided to settle for a smile instead.
He would lay it all out in the open, no matter what the risk. Because if there was even the slightest chance Aang could return his love, it was worth it.
When he arrived back at their training ground, Aang was nowhere to be seen.
Then suddenly, the airbender popped out of the ground in front of him.
“There you are!” Aang called out. “I’ve been looking for you!”
Zuko nearly stumbled over with surprise.
“I thought I told you to practice your firebending form!” he snapped automatically.
“Oh, I was. Actually—“ Aang began, but Zuko cut him off.
“I’m sorry, Aang. I didn’t mean to snap at you. In fact, there is something I need to tell you,” Zuko said, scratching the back of his head nervously.
“That’s ok. But I need to show you something first,” the airbender replied, giggling happily. Zuko was too distracted by Aang’s smell and laughter to find a response.
“Yesterday you explained to me that firebenders have strong desires and will, that give them the energy to achieve what they want,” he began.
Zuko nodded. He had drawn on all the lessons his uncle had taught him during the training with Aang.
“I think I’ve found a desire strong enough,” the airbender said with a grin, assuming the base stance of the firebending form.
And with the first move of the form, flames sprouted from his fingertips. But not just any flames. Green, red, golden, blue, even purple colors danced in the flames. Before long, Aang was surrounded by vines of beautiful fire, wrapping around him and congealing to bursts of power when he threw punches into the air.
Zuko was stunned. This was even more beautiful than dragonfire.
“How did you…” he stammered, unable to finish his thought. His eyes were glued to the lean muscles of the airbender that were performing an immaculate form with determined precision. Aang had indeed found a new source of energy. Zuko could see it in his form, and even more clearly in his face. An intense passion fuelled by a fierce willpower. But unlike with so many firebeders, there was not even a hint of anger in his expression.
When Aang finished the form, the flames were still crackling around him, gently licking at his shoulders.
“I know what I want now,” he spoke firmly. He began walking towards Zuko slowly, looking him straight in the eye.
“I want you. I want to make you feel good, just like you did for me. I want to make you cum. And I really want to, you know…” Aang said, and stopped about an arms length away. He looked down, blushing, and the flames around him momentarily dwindled to a low glow. But then he looked up again and the fire regained its strength. “…put it in you.” He finished.
Zuko’s cock had immediately sprung to attention when Aang said ‘I want you.’ But the rest of his body was speechless. Was this really happening? The incredible firebending he had just witnessed was fuelled by the desire for him?
“I was confused about what I wanted – about who I wanted,” Aang continued. “But not anymore. I might be new to all this, but I do know what love feels like. And I know when I love someone.”
“Me too,” Zuko replied, his voice barely more than a whisper.
“Does that mean I can put it in you?” Aang asked with sudden excitement, and an eagerness in his eyes that Zuko now recognized as lust.
Zuko nodded.
“Yeah,” he breathed.
“Great, because I’ve been dying to show you this new airbending move I came up with. Check this out!” Aang said, taking a deep breath. He flipped back, jumped in the air and with a single breath of air, shed all his clothes. He lightly landed on a spinning ball of air and looked at Zuko expectantly.
A laugh escaped Zuko and he shook his head in disbelief. But then his eyes locked in on Aang’s naked body, and his laughter caught in his throat. So much beautiful skin. The smooth chest that was heaving up and down, the slender legs carefully balancing on the ball of air. And then there was Aang’s cock, clearly rock hard and already wet with precum.
“What’s the matter?” Aang asked, dissolving his ball of air and landing on the ground as light as a feather.
“Nothing. It’s just that I really like… I mean you look, um…” Zuko felt his voice drown in husky embarrassment. “You look beautiful to me. I mean you are, you’re really… really beautiful,” he stammered, looking to the floor.
A moment passed, and then suddenly he heard the familiar burst of earthbending. He felt a slight tug at his clothing as several boulders pinched his royal robes, and looked up again. Aang was sanding in a wide earthbending stance and smiled lustfully. Then he drew his fists close to his body, and suddenly the earth underneath Zuko’s feet began to move. But most of his clothing remained behind, tearing off his body in one big rip.
“Hey, those were nice—“ Zuko complained, but another rumble of earthbending cut him off. He was suddenly lying on his back on a stone table. His arms were spread from his body with his wrists shackled to the rock, and his legs were spread apart and up in the air, cuffed to pillars of rock in the same way. It was surprisingly comfortable, because the rock table was molded to fit his body. But he felt exposed, even vulnerable. His ass was exactly the level of Aang’s crotch. As the airbender slowly leaned over him, his cock grazed along Zuko’s crack and lingered at the entrance of his hole. A heavy breath escaped Zuko, and his eyes rolled back.
“Can I lick you again?” Aang whispered in Zuko’s ear. He breathed softly into his ear and his tongue flicked out against his earlobe.
Aang felt a shiver go through Zuko’s body, and the firebender’s hard cock twitched against Aang’s stomach for a split second.
“Yes,” Zuko moaned in his low husky voice.
Aang’s heart skipped a beat, and his stiff cock involuntarily pulsed against Zuko’s hole. He could finally fulfill the wildest of his dreams, Zuko’s body was his to lick wherever he wanted. The firebender was panting heavily, his muscular chest heaving up and down. His beautiful face with his strong jawline, his thin lips, his fine eyebrows – it was twisted in an expression of pleasure and anticipation, his eyes tightly shut. Aang looked at Zuko’s face and decided to risk it. He really wanted to lick it. How would Zuko react when he gave in to his fantasy? He had imagined this so many times, and now he finally could.
His heart hammering in his chest, Aang stuck out his tongue and leaned into Zuko. As his tongue approached Zuko’s mouth, their noses nuzzled against each other. Then Aang ran his tongue over Zuko’s lips, licking from the corner of his mouth along the lower lip. Zuko moaned in surprise and his lips parted. Aang’s tongue touched his teeth before he retreated in surprise. At the same time, Zuko’s hole relaxed, and something oozed out of Aang’s cock, making it slippery.
They stared at each other, panting. Aang couldn’t believe he did that, and Zuko seemed equally surprised. The tip of the airbender’s cock rested wet against Zuko’s ass, and now he could feel it more clearly – Zuko’s hole was throbbing and drawing Aang in with every throb.
Wordlessly and slightly embarrassed, Aang broke eye contact and moved to close his lips around the small puncture wounds from the porcupine-lizard. But this time he went further. This time Zuko wanted him to go further. He ran his tongue over the side of Zuko’s chest more freely now, until his nose brushed against Zuko’s armpit hair. The firebender moaned and his body stiffened.
Zuko’s scent was intoxicating. He dug his nose deeper into his armpit and greedily lapped up his smell with his tongue. Zuko was clean and slightly sweaty with a smoky musty note. His cock pulsed against Zuko’s hole and more precum dribbled out and ran down Zuko’s crack. Aang moaned into his armpit and the firebender hissed with pleasure. He struggled against his restraints and his muscular body convulsed. His hole briefly squeezed tighter against the tip of the airbender’s cock, and Aang realized he was already a little inside Zuko. He withdrew from his armpit and looked down at Zuko’s face. His cheeks were flushed and his black tousled hair stuck to his sweaty forehead. He was dripping precum too, which had gathered in a small puddle around his bellybutton and abs.
Hungrily, Aang bent down again and swirled his tongue Around Zuko’s left nipple.
“Oh!” the firebender called out in a voice much higher than his usual low husk. “Aang!”
The airbender doubled his efforts to lick, suck, and nibble his nipple. Zuko’s reaction was instantaneous. His whole body jerked around in pleasure, muscles bulging against his earth handcuffs. He wriggled and shivered in a frenzy of pleasure, but Aang held him down. He started moaning loudly and rambled profusely.
“Aang, please don’t stop, hm, Aang, hrng, that feels so good, what are you doing, ohpleasedon’tstop ohpleasedon’tstop”
Aang felt the firebender’s hole relax even further, and he slowly slid his cock deeper into Zuko’s ass. Zuko was sweating and steaming all over his body, and his ass was so hot and tight, Aang thought he would shoot his load right then and there. He pushed in all the way until his balls rubbed against Zuko’s crack, coated in his own precum. It felt so good, he forgot about Zuko’s nipple and grabbed his waist, looking down at the sweating and panting firebender. He slid out and back in again, slapping is crotch against Zuko’s ass. Zuko yelped up in surprise and his eyes fluttered open.
“Ah!” was all he managed to cry out. Aang had hit the special spot Zuko had discovered years ago when he was fingering himself. His body was tingling and throbbing all over and the force of Aang’s thrust drove away any remaining restraint.
“Do it again!” he whimpered, and Aang thrust into him again. Zuko gasped in pleasure, and another trickle of precum welled up in his cock, dripping onto his stomach and running down the side of his torso. He felt the orgasm build up inside him. He was going to cum soon.
“Don’t stop, don’t hold back, please! Please make me cum, Aang, please fuck me!”
Aang didn’t hesitate to grab Zuko’s waist even tighter and ram his cock into him. He began pumping in and out of him, pounding his balls against Zuko’s ass and the tip of his cock against Zuko’s prostate. He started groaning with every thrust, and the glowing began.
Every time he was balls deep inside Zuko, his tattoos and eyes briefly flared up in a blue-white glow. The glow disappeared as soon as he pulled out again, only to return more strongly with the next thrust.
“Aang!” Zuko exclaimed and then he felt the orgasm coming. He didn’t know what he was saying or moaning, only that it was loud. He made eye contact with Aang’s beautiful brown eyes that were flaring up with bright light faster and faster now. Then his cock erupted with cum.
Aang’s eyes widened with amazement when he saw Zuko’s orgasm. Every time he rammed his cock deep into Zuko, a white rope of cum shot out. The first one shot all the way to Zuko’s chin with such force, it splattered all over his collarbone. But then Zuko clenched and convulsed so his shoulders and head were coming off the ground, so the next white rope landed on his face, covering his nose and lips. Aang accelerated his thrusts even more. The curious and the animalistic part of him wanted to see how much more cum he could fuck out of Zuko, and if he could get more of it to land on his face. He fucked harder, and Zuko opened his mouth even wider as he moaned. The next several shots sprayed into his mouth, drenching his lips so much that cum was dripping down his chin.
Seeing Zuko’s face covered in cum made Aang lose al control, and he exploded in Zuko’s ass.
Aang’s load shot directly against Zuko’s pleasure spot, and Zuko yelled out in surprise and pleasure. He felt more of his own cum shoot against his cheeks and eyebrows, but he barely noticed. Aang’s eyes and tattoos were blazing with light, much brighter than before. And Zuko felt his own eyes glowing too.
Suddenly he could feel what Aang was feeling. His mind and body merged with the airbender, and he felt the intensity of Aang’s orgasm as much as his own. He felt Aang’s cum gushing into his ass and flooding his balls and crack as he kept pumping. His own prostate convulsed with every shot of glowing cum that splashed against it.
But he also felt Aang’s thoughts and emotions. The lust and desire, the exhilaration, and as the airbender looked into his eyes, the tenderness and the overwhelming and unconditional love.
When the glow subsided, Aang was slightly dizzy and breathing heavily. The airbender’s cum was running out of Zuko’s hole and down his own legs. Zuko was completely drenched, from his impeccable abs, to his shoulders and all over his face, even his hair. With a twist of his wrists, Aang bended the earth to release Zuko’s restraints. The firebender now lay limp on the stone table, his breath slowly returning to normal.
Zuko looked back at Aang, and his thin lips formed beginning of a smile. They knew how much they loved each other. They had felt it.
Aang leaned down and licked the cum off Zuko’s eyelids, then his cheeks and nose and eyebrows. When Aang’s tongue reached Zuko’s lips, he moaned softly, his lips parting in a broad smile.
At first Aang hesitated, but then he realized there was no need. He brushed his lips against Zuko’s and then kissed him. Zuko’s hands ran along his chest and cupped Aang’s jaw, pulling him deeper into the kiss.

“Focus on one state of mind at a time. You’re too distracted, and you keep mixing your emotions together. Try the green fire again, and I don’t want to see any purple this time!” Zuko instructed.
“But I—“
“Control your thoughts and show some discipline,” Zuko barked. Now that Aang had regained his firebending, Zuko had decided it was worth perfecting the multi-colored flames.
As Aang began practicing, Zuko turned away and calmed his mind. Then the airbender started humming, and Zuko was about to tell him off. But he didn’t. Since yesterday, Aang’s presence was not a distraction anymore. All his confusion, his doubts, and his worries were gone now. His love was open and unshakable.
He moved through the form his uncle had practiced with him hundreds of times. And then for the first time in his life, Zuko shot lightning from his fingertips.
