Hi everyone, it's Weiss. I'm just giving everyone a heads up that I put in for some days off at work so I can go to the Dream Docks. I'll be back in time for Halloween, but I need someone to watch Frost while I'm gone.
Zuko, I know you were upset about Charizard, do you want to take him? That way I'll still get to see him and since you're Deputy Guardian now, you probably have more space to take care of him openly if you think that's better.
I'm going in a couple of hours and I'll be gone for a week, so does anyone need anything reasonable from me before I leave?

It is me, you doof.

Re: action;
So are you going to?
action;
[ that's the only answer he provides her with before he's kissing her squarely on the lips. ]
action;
[ She had been about to complain that at least she asked this time, but the complaint was forgot with the kiss and she closed her eyes, moving to wrap her arms around his waist as she kissed him back for a moment before pulling back. ]
Even if I'm going to be asleep, I'm going to be miss you.
action;
[ weiss has been his constant in genessia. she's been there since day one, berating him for not knowing what video technology was. it's only a week, but a week without her is going to feel out of place.
zuko's lips graze her temple as he pulls her in against his chest and wraps his arms around her. ] When are you heading out?
action;
Whenever Sun's ready. He said he was planning on going soon too, so we decided to just go together. He had a few things to do though, so we should have some time.
action;
I'll make sure I'm there when you wake up — to steal your lips and your heart.
action;
Good. Though I may have to pretend that you haven't already.
action;
I have...?
action;
You can pretend I didn't say that if you want to.
[ Not because she didn't mean it, but she more than recognized that Zuko hadn't said anything about feeling something besides really liking her. And Weiss doesn't actually want to lose this, even if she's a pretty demanding person most of the time. ]
action;
No, it's not that. [ zuko draws back enough to see her face, his hands settling on her sides just above the ruffles of her combat skirt. ] I just wasn't expecting you to feel that way, too. I thought it was just me.
action;
I knew that I wanted to spend more time with you the first time I asked if you want to take me out to lunch- I was planning on asking even before that weird situation when you showed up without your scar happened. Since then you... tend to be the last person I think about when I go to sleep each night, and when Ruby came here and started talking about "making the best of a bad situation" when she got here I realized I didn't think it was bad at all. My friends are here, and even when it was just Sun and Yang, I had you. Even if I haven't been able to accomplish my goals with being a huntress here, and I'll still have to go back and do it someday and I know that, this place started feeling like home.. and I'm pretty sure that's because of you, Zuko.
action;
clumsy, unrehearsed words bubble to the surface. ]
I used to think I was bad at being good. I mean, I kind of still am, but you... Sages, Weiss you make me feel like maybe it was the other way around. [ his hands come up and he's cupping her face again. ] You don't know how much that means to me. I've always felt so conflicted; my uncle said it was in my nature to feel that way, to have 'good' and 'evil' at war inside of me. But with you, I don't feel like I'm at war anymore. I feel like I've always been good and it was being bad that I was bad at. [ zuko's buries his fingers in her hair, no mind for how its pinned. ] You believe in me. You know the bad and the good, you know that I'm the Blue Spirit, and you still believe.
Going home... I know that's going to happen someday, and you're the reason why I don't want it to. You're the reason I don't care about what becomes of me back home, because all I care about is what becomes of me here. What becomes of us.
[ maybe she wasn't going to say those three little words, but zuko was. because it's important that he does. the last person he said them to was probably his mother. he should've said them to his uncle. he can only hope that iroh knows, and he's not about to forgo saying them to someone who deserves to hear them. ]
I love you, Weiss Schnee.
action;
She couldn't think of any more words to say. For now, everything they needed to say to show each other how much they meant to one another had been said. Well, with one exception that Weiss knew how to fix. ]
I love you, too, Zuko.
action;
when zuko set her down, it wasn't on her feet, but on the edge of her desk to keep them eye-level while he kissed her. ]
action;
action;
zuko buried his face in the crook of her neck, alternating between pressing hot, open-mouthed kisses to her skin and sucking on patches he embarrassed with his tongue. ]
action;
Weiss tilted her head back, her hands moving to his chest to grip at the front of his shirt, pulling at him. She was trying to make sure she didn't wrinkle his shirt, but as he kept kissing and sucking and lapping at her skin, it was hard not to. She let it go on for a few moments, then one of her hands tapped his chest where she'd been gripping and she spoke up breathlessly. ]
Okay, if we keep this up I'm going to have the wrong kind of dreams, Zuko.
action;
You're no fun. [ he pressed one last, tender kiss to the side of her deck before drawing back. ] Tyrant.
action;
[ She means that very literally. Weiss doesn't move off of the desk, though she does cross her legs now that she has room to. ]
action;
[ you'd probably bend at them for interrupting, zuko. ]
action;
action;
[ he huffed a puff of smoke off to the side, but made no move to draw away from her. instead, his hands went up and he tugged her hair out of the pins he hadn't unintentionally already freed. he set the hairpiece in her lap as he set to gathering up all the loose strands, doing so with a gentleness and experience most probably didn't expect him to have, but learning how to manage your own hair and twist it into proper knots was mandatory. if your retainers couldn't get to you first, you had to be able to make your own self look presentable at a moment's notice. when he got her hair back into place, he twisted half of it and secured it in place with something he pulled out of his back pocket. ]
There. All better.
action;
[ Weiss doesn't move, but she certainly makes objecting noises as he starts very obviously taking her hair down and putting it back up. Since she was sitting on the desk already, that meant bending her head down and just letting him do whatever he was doing- something that frankly was confusing her, since she couldn't actually see the hairpiece he was putting in there. Once he was done she looked up at him with an uncertain look, holding her usual comb in her hands for a moment before setting it next to her on the desk. ]
What'd you do?
[ Barely waiting for an answer, Weiss pulled her legs up so she could stand up on the desk and walk to the edge, leaning off the edge to open the top drawer of the nearby dresser so she could pull a mirror out of it to look. When she sees it, she blushes a little and looks over at him. ]
Is this yours?
