fanfiction-avatar the last airbender:a kind of sunkissed skin by MrSpockify

Summary:
“I see you got out just fine, though,” Suki said, crossing her arms and watching the Fire Nation prince carefully.

Zuko shrugged. “Fire benders have a natural tolerance to heat. Our skin doesn’t really burn.” He opened a drawer and found a small, dusty container of ointment and pulled it out. “It comes in handy when you’re always surrounded by fire.” When he turned around, he found the rest of the group watching him with expressions Zuko couldn’t quite place. He held out the balm to Katara, but she hesitated before taking it. “What’s wrong?” Zuko asked.

Aang looked at him uncomfortably. “I don’t want to accuse you of being a liar, but…”

“But what?”

“Your face, man,” Sokka supplied with his usual grace.
