Y/n life was depressing ever-time he gets a girlfriend it gets taken away from him from his bullies,his brother,his sister,his parents till he had enough and left without looking back so he can go somewhere nice without the depression of his old lif...
After M/n finished her conversation with Iroh, he gave them some money so they can rent out an apartment to stay along with getting them a job at a nearby grocery store while they're in town looking for Y/n.
However, Iroh made sure not to mention about him knowing Y/n or where he's staying because even though he understands M/n and S/n feelings on wanting to make amends for their past sins. He does bear some disgust towards the two for what they did to Y/n mostly at M/n. Since as a former parent himself and uncle, he couldn't believe a mother like M/n could hurt her own son by betraying him.
A thought that disgusted him greatly considering he lost his own son and he would've given up everything to have his son back. For now, Iroh will keep an eye on the two to make sure they're were truly honest with their feelings earlier. In order to avoid any unnecessary mishaps in the future if they come across with Y/n by any chance.
Right now, M/n and S/n walking up to the apartment building where Y/n is living in as they breathe a sigh of relief after a long day, not knowing that they accidentally found their missing son/brother.
M/n P.O.V.
After paying the landlord the money, Iroh gave us to rent out an apartment for us to stay. I breathe a sigh relief as I could barely stand anymore due to the lack of sleep.
S/n: Finally a place to sleep...
M/n: We have to thank Mr. Iroh for his kindness is thanks to him lending us some money to afford a place to sleep.
S/n: And getting us some work at a nearby grocery store. We can finally earn some money to buy decent food for once.
M/n: Right.... *thought* While we're here, we can use our time to look for Y/n. But what do I say to Y/n when I see him?
As we make our way toward our apartment number, I spot someone on the balcony from one of the apartments. I couldn't get a good clear of who it was because they went back inside immediately.
M/n: Who was that?
Y/n P.O.V.
Y/n apartment....
Rushing back inside my apartment, I couldn't believe what I just saw with my own eyes. My own mother and sister are here of all places, I just couldn't believe this is happening.
Y/n: How are they here?! And why these apartments of all places? *though* Calm down, Y/n! They don't know that you live around here or the apartment number you are staying in but doesn't change the fact that there's a chance of me accidentally coming across them by accident.
Peeking out the window one more time, I see they're already gone meaning they entered the building. So, rushing toward the front door I look through the peephole to see outside. I waited about a minute before seeing something coming up the stairs.
Y/n: Is that....
Few more seconds, I saw M/n and S/n reaching the second floor where I am as they looked around for a moment before going left.
Y/n: No... No, don't tell me...
I listen in closely until I hear the apartment door next to mine open up.
Y/n: Damn it!
This made me feel sick to my stomach as the thought of them living next door to me as neighbors. These few months after running away and finally finding peace, they don't know when to leave me alone. Can't they take a hint! After the constant neglect and torture, why can't they just leave me alone for once and let me live my life in peace.
Y/n: All I want is to live a normal life...
3rd P.O.V.
While Y/n is contemplating what to do, Azula was peeking through the door from room as she saw how distraught Y/n is in.
Azula: .... Shit, look like his past found him. But who is it? His exes or family? Doesn't matter I just need to stay by his side closer than before.
As she said that, Azula has a flashback about her past
Flashback...
It was a few weeks ago after Iroh took custody of Zuko and Azula when their father was arrested for child abuse and neglect. Zuko was still recovering from the burn mark he received from his abusive father at that time when Azula was having a meltdown to herself.
She was in her room, brushing her hair before tying it up into a bun. When she noticed a few uneven strands of hair that annoyed her. Grabbing a pair of scissors, she grabs the strands as she gets ready to cut it.
Azula: All Right, Hair, It's Time To Face Your Doom.
???: What a shame... you always had such beautiful hair.
In the reflection of the mirror, Azula saw her mother, Ursa. The same mother that disappeared from home and never to be seen again. Azula couldn't understand why she was here even though in reality this is all happening in her mind.
Azula: What are you doing here?
Ursa: I just wanted to see how my amazing daughter is doing.
Azula: Don't pretend to be proud! I know what you really think of me... you think I'm a monster.
Ursa: I think you're confused... all your life since you were born. You always been afraid of being rejected is the reason why you behave this way toward everyone around you.
Azula: What choice do I have?! Trust is for fools, fear is the only reliable way even you fear me.
Ursa: No.... I-

Grabbing a nearby object, Azula threw it at the mirror in frustration, only shattering half of it. Looking back at her reflection, Azula can only whimper in silent knowing no one will love her because who she is as a person.
End of Flashback...
Azula shed a tear realizing she and Y/n are no different when it comes to trauma from the past.
Azula: It's terrible when you can't trust the people who are closest to you.
