Excerpt
Zuko nervously digs his keys out of his pocket and starts fumbling at the mailboxes. And he is fumbling. It’s like his fingers aren’t working properly, and he can’t get the key into the slot. It’s the most mundane thing, and Sokka can’t remember the last time he felt so scared.“Let me help,” Sokka says, because he can’t say "what’s wrong with you?"
Something’s wrong, something is very wrong, and it’s making Sokka crazy, not being able to pinpoint what it is. It makes him feel like he has to cut the right wires before a bomb goes off, except the bomb is Zuko going back upstairs again.
Zuko pushes his hair behind his ears, nervously, and Sokka follows the gesture until he’s looking at Zuko’s face. Zuko, who is always un-fussed-with and unkempt, is wearing makeup. It’s pasty, slightly darker than the tone of his skin, and it trails across his right temple like the tail of a falling star.
“Your head,” Sokka says.
Zuko looks at him.
“My…?”
