You knocked softly on the door of the tea shop, and heard a cheery “Come in!”

You entered, and saw a small, brightly lit room with several table and chairs, and several doors. You spotted an old man with long grey hair and a long grey beard. He was cheerfully pouring tea to a young couple, and you didn’t want to interrupt him, so you stood awkwardly in the doorway.

When the old man finished pouring the couple their tea, he glanced over at the doorway and saw you. His face broke into a large smile, and he hurried over to you.

“Ah hello! You must be here for the waitressing job, right?” You nodded, and the old man’s smile grew wider. “Great, we’ve been greatly understaffed; it’s just been my nephew and me.”

“Well I’d love to be of assistance! Tea is a passion of mine.” You replied and the man’s smile grew, if it was possible, even wider. The man grabbed you by the wrist and led you to one of the backrooms, which was filled with tea leaves in different containers and dozens of teacups and kettles. You stared in awe at all the possibilities before you.

“We make all our own teas.” The man said with a chuckle when he saw your amazed look. He grabbed a tray with two teacups and a kettle, handed it to you, and ushered you out of the room. You walked to the table he directed, and poured the couple their tea, happy to be beginning your new job.

~Time skip to a few months later~

“Hey Zuko.” You greeted cheerfully as you walked into the tea shop one lovely afternoon.

“Hey __y/n__.” Zuko greeted with a small smile, which caused you to blush lightly. You see, over the past few months, you had regrettably developed a crush on the young firebender (him and his uncle had filled you in on their past over the past months). Regrettably, because you knew he would never like you; why would he? Guys never seemed to like you, and so you pushed the thought out of your head once again.

The rest of the day went on quite normally, with Iroh making tea and you and Zuko both serving people the tea.

You were just putting your coat on to leave, when Zuko’s voice startled you.

“Hey __y/n__...” You jumped slightly, and turned around, swatting him on the arm.

“Damn it Zuko! You scared me!” You said with a pout. Zuko chuckled at your childishness, before he spoke again.

“I was wondering, would you maybe like to go out sometime?” Zuko asked while he nervously scratched his neck. You gaped at him, before you pressed a quick kiss to his cheek and ran from the shop.

“Was that a yes or not?” Zuko muttered to himself.

“I’d say it was a yes.” Iroh said with a chuckle. “I told you she liked you.”

“Yeah, thanks Uncle.”

End. <3
