Fire Queen

chapter: 21

"Ryu, wake up" Kai's voice woke me up, she walked in, I pulled myself up but stopped when I realize his arm is around me, I looked up, Ryu has walked in looking at the paper's in her hands,

"Kai Get out now" I yelled, "No Ryu today is your wedding you can't sleep any longer"

"What is happening?" his morning voice boomed through the room, making Kai drop the paper's in her hands, she is looking behind me, I followed her gaze, Zuko was holding himself by one arm other around me, he is shirtless,

"Fire lord?" Kai said, I looked back at her, we made eye contact, "Kai get out, Knock next time" I yelled,

"I am so sorry" she bends down to gather the papers, "Kai now out" I yelled running impatient,

"Ryu calm down you are scarring poor girl," he said laying back down, he ran his hand through his hair,

Kai stood back up, "I am so sorry fire lord, I didn't know you were here"

"Kai?" I warned again, she left closing the door behind her, I looked back at Zuko, "You scared that poor girl" he said smiling at me, "She should be a little scared, doesn't matter how many times we fight over this she never knocks"

He pulled me back down, "I don't think she would do the same mistake again" he chuckled making his chest move, I put my head on it, "She better not"

"We should probably get up," I said tracing my finger through his abs, "No, I like it like this"

"Being late to their own wedding will not look good for the king and queen" I argued,

"Too bad" he took my hand in his and kissed it, "Are you excited?" he asked,

"Yeah, maybe more worried", "Worried?" he asked,

"Yeah what if I did something wrong, the whole kingdom not to mention people from other kingdoms will be watching"

"Don't worry you will do amazing, other than that I will be there" he kissed my hand again,

Today we decided to have breakfast alone just two of us, we ate in mostly comfortable silence, he told who is coming, Chiefs from both water tribe are coming, King Bumi is coming, King of Ba Sing Sa is not coming but the crowned prince is, all the officials will be there, all these big people just to watch us get married, this didn't help with my anxiety at all,

After breakfast he left to welcome king Bumi, who is apparently Aang's childhood best friend from hundred years ago, that's crazy,

I heard a knock, "Come in" Kai slowly opened the door, she looked around the room before laying her eyes on me, "He is gone?" she asked,

"Who told you to just barged in" I yelled hitting her on the arm, "I always barge in, I have been barging in my whole life, I never found a half-naked boy in your room, how would I know today will be different" she rubbed her arm,

"Don't ever do that again", I warned her, "So...?" she asked,

"So nothing, nothing happened we cuddled; now if you got what you were looking for can we get back to work I am getting married and crowned today"

"Yeah, I and Jun are handling everything, you just worry about looking pretty" I walked up to the mirror,

"I saw your crown; it is so shinny" she smiled, "Can you ask staff to prepare me a bath?"

She nodded and left, I took a deep breath trying to calm myself, I am already married to him, this should be easier but somehow it is more difficult,

"Ryu hold still" Kai said, making the small bun on which crown will be placed, we decided to leave hair just open my long jet black hair down till my waist, I am sitting in my rob, almost ready with hair and makeup done, I tried to go more natural,
