Third Person P.O.V

A simple job, That's what this was supposed to be, A simple job of stealing something, or someone, from the fire nation, the war was over, so that meant getting to the fire lord would be easy right? Find where he is, get into his room, and talk to him

Sounds simple right? Wrong, because {Y/N} now stood in an Alley, cornered by not the palace guards, but Kyoshi warriors, founded by the avatar Kyoshi, at the fire lord's palace

And the fire lord was Li, who helped his uncle run the tea shop your mentor brought you to one day, and you had never stopped visiting before the fire nation broke the wall and took over

However, In the short time of talking to 'Li' and his uncle, {Y/N} had found that they'd fallen for the boy with the scar and sword skills, and after a while, a few hours before everything had crumbled before {Y/N}'s eyes, They had confessed how they felt, fully expecting harsh words of rejection, and even harsher words of Lee saying not to talk to him again, as {Y/N} stood there, They saw the moment playing in their head again

"Li, I know this is sudden, and probably really catching you off guard, but," They had taken a deep breath in, mentally getting ready for what was to come, and in a single breath, spoke, "I think I like you in more than a friendship way"

Li had simply looked to them, as they shut their eyes tight, breath stuck in their lungs, their stomach hatching so many butterflies that they felt they might've thrown up then and there, only to feel soft lips planted on their forehead, they opened their eyes to find the tea shop boy giving them the softest smile they had ever seen him wear

"Come back here at 7, I can help make that non-friendship relationship happen," And with that, he had gone to work, as the earth king invited him and his uncle to serve tea

Only Li never came back, he was revealed to have been the banished prince Zuko, And betrayed his uncle, only to later join the Avatar and help beat his father

Which lead {Y/N} back to now, the war over for a while, no more than a couple months, and {Y/N} was there for a simple job,

Steal Zuko's heart once more

Unfortunately, the task was harder done than said, as not only were the most skilled non-bending fighters now protecting him, {Y/N} had also seen him with another girl, black hair in a fancy do, long royal like clothing that seemed to big for her, be that by accident or on purpose, the two hugging and smiling, which had made {Y/N} run off, giving them away and allowing themselves to get caught

And caught they were, as the stood back flat on the wall, fans with edges that almost looked at sharp as real blades, only {Y/N} wasn't eager to find out if the feeling of the fans looking like blades was real, or all in their head,

"We'll ask one more time, who are you and what are you doing here?" The head warrior had asked, at least, {Y/N} thought she was the head warrior, it was rather hard to tell with their matching makeup

{Y/N} looked around, trying to think of what to say to get themselves out of this situation they got themselves into. They were cornered by some of the earth kingdoms best non bending fighters, who also managed to get a chi-blocker, stuck in the fire lords Palace where in of the fire nations beat knife thrower was a few rooms away with Zuko

Wait

{Y/N} then remembered that they did befriend Zuko, They had befriended the fire lord, the fire lord, if they played their cards right, they could-

"{Y/N}?" A familiar voice then rang through their ears, making them perk up slightly, eagerly trying to see if it was who they thought it was, and luckily, it was
