Summary
Fire Lord Zuko was...different.
He thanked the servants for doing their jobs. He wouldn’t get angry over accidents or mistakes, either. It was slightly off-putting, as far as Chihiro was concerned. If Chihiro hadn’t been watching, she wouldn’t have believed it herself.
She didn’t entirely believe it anyway.
Still, surely something of importance would come of the new Fire Lord’s strange behavior.
Though, to be fair, she thought to herself as a half-masked figure leapt at her from the shadows of a pillar one evening, she hadn’t thought that that ‘something’ would be an attempted coup.
(Or, in which a palace servant decides, yeah, I'm protecting this kid.)

Summary
Waking up on that last day had been something he’d dreaded. He woke up sore and exhausted, but most importantly, he’d woken up to the quiet breaths of a sleeping Naruto.
Easing his way out of the alpha’s hold- he’d forgotten just how clingy the blonde was in his sleep, had been too easy, given his extensive training. But at the same time, it had been so hard to pull away.
Sasuke had gotten dressed slowly, almost hoping that in the time he took to clothe himself, Naruto would wake up so that he could say goodbye. Another part of himself urged him to leave quickly, because the last time Sasuke had tried to say goodbye, it had ended in a soul crushing fight where he’d won, but they’d both lost.
Leaving without blue eyes watching him was the kinder option, even if it felt wrong to do.
