Re: Secrets You Can't Be Bothered to Make

DA

I never got Zuko/Mai, all I saw was Zuko desperately trying to fill his role as a 'Prince' by adopting the first relationship presented to him, or rather what Azula presented to him. Obviously Mai had a crush, but Zuko was never seen to reciprocate it. Time and time again it shows them at each others throats, because their personalities do not match. That their relationship is hostile at the very best. Even ignoring the radical backstory shift on Mai's account, the series never shows them legitimately comfortable with one another.
Even at 'Boiling Rock', Zuko literally locks her up, with little to no regret, just in case she might rat them out. She loves him, no doubt, but it's very far reach for me to think he did little more than settle by being with her, trying to do what he expects a Fire Lord should do- and if not just for some babies ever after shite.

(I got caught up with phrasing this as a secret, so hopefully this isn't as hostile as I think it sounds;;)

Not hostile at all. I don't agree with you, personally. I always thought Zuko seemed the most relaxed and comfortable and able to be himself when he was with Mai (I mean, apart from Iroh, anyway). He didn't have to hide himself from her. He didn't have to be a proper prince. He could show her his whole self, even the angry side.
