So I swear on my life I am coming back to this blog. Once I get through making icons for one of my Free! muses I’m going to work on making icons for Zuko since I’m still too cheap to get my old ones off my laptop with all my other data. So yes, that’s the game plan.
Her life had been rather— lonely, before. The only other who paid her any mind was Hana, and the same company got boring after a while, no matter how much Mai loved her sister. Their parents were decidedly involved most days, and what attention they did receive came in the form of corrections or meaningless gifts neither girl truly wanted.
So she enjoyed the attention Lee gave her, altruistic and strong. But there was more to it than simply wanting to be wanted. He was funny, smart— though an idiot at the same time, and had a spirit she envied.
He was really— something. Whatever the word was, if it existed, Mai didn’t know it.
“I suppose there could be worse things,” Mai droned out, standing at the slight tug on her waist. “Truly, anything is better than sticking around all of these insufferable people.”
It was the same for Lee and Zuko in a way. They didn’t really have many friends their own age aside from each other, so that’s just how it’d always been for them. They’d always stuck together, and that’s why they basically did the same thing every year at Hogwarts. Stuck to each other like glue.
Lee just chuckled once at Mai’s voiced reluctance yet lack of an argument about going outside. At least they could leave without any resistance and were outside in a matter of a minute. Then his hand could settle more definitively around her waist.
"So you really wanted to get out of the Great Hall that bad, huh?”

Well that was an easy way to surprise Lee. This was the second time over the summer vacation they’d seen each other, and it’d been a few odd months since they began dating.
The pair had been comfortably situated on Mai’s bed, the both of them dozing off after a morning walking around Diagon Alley, restocking what few school supplies they needed and getting lunch while they were out. Lee had been close to falling asleep, until he heard Mai say what she did. That got his eyes open real fast just out of surprise.
“What brought that on?”
Not that he was opposed to what she said on the contrary, she got his heartbeat going a few paces faster than it’d been a moment ago, but he hadn’t expected her to say it out of the blue like this. He’d sit up if she sat up, but for the moment his head had merely gotten picked up and Lee was staring at his girlfriend a bit incredulously.
do you ever just crave someone’s presence? like you would literally be happy just sitting next to them. it could be completely silent and it would just be magical to be there with them.

Holds up wand.
“Does that look two inches to you?”
“Really, Lee, I’m flattered.” Her voice is high, each word said with an extra breath, mimicking the way she had heard her mother speak so many times. A small grin cracked her stone like features as she bumped his shoulder, adding hints of her jest.
“You came all this way, for me.”
“Well there’s food down here anyway, so–.”
He couldn’t tell if she was being sarcastic at not saying she was flattered, the unusual tone of voice from her was a bit hard to discern, but the smile was saying enough in its own right. In any case, she got a small smile right back as the joined the crowd of students filing in for breakfast.
“Well, next time, you’re coming back to my table.”
She hadn’t expected to feel so comfortable in his arms, to want him to come to her, or anything of the sort. The feelings she has for him had grown rather quickly, surprising even her.
And to think, she almost didn’t talk to him.
“—and you know what they say about a woman scorned,” she reminds him, her voice conveying the joke among her threat. “Hell hath no fury."
"Okay, okay. If it saves me from you getting mad again.”
He wasn’t about to complain at how well things seemed to be going for them, it was just unfortunate that it’d taken four whole years for any of this to actually happen. Lee and Zuko only had one year at Hogwarts left after this, then they’d be graduating and looking to get jobs, most likely for the Ministry.
“Then I guess I better stay on your good side.”
And for as comfortable as they were, getting cozy in the Great Hall wasn’t the best place, not when they were getting consistent subtle side-glances from a lot of surrounding students. It’d take some time to get them all used to the idea of two Slytherin’s dating two Gryffindor’s, it just wasn’t done after all. So keeping his arm around Mai’s waist, Lee made a motion to half-stand, hoping she’d come with him.
“You want to go for a walk around the lake or something? Might be better than staying here for the rest of lunch.”
