You're Not Alone Zuko x Reader

=Chapter 15=

I yawned and rubbed my eyes as I opened the door to my room. Only one person was in the main room of the apartment.

"Good mourning, Prince Zuko," I said to the boy standing in the kitchen. His hair had grown out so it covered most of his forehead. I gave him a peck on the cheek and ruffled his hair. 

He pulled me closer to himself, "Is that all I get?" I grabbed him by his shirt caller and kissed him passionately. He smiled against my lips, "Good mourning, y/n." 

I let go of his shirt and pulled away. I walked over to the window and opened it. I closed my eyes and let the cool hair hit my face. I took a deep breath. I have a good feeling about today.   

We left a note for Iroh letting him know we left early for work. We walked hand in hand down the street. 

"When are we gonna tell your uncle," I asked him.

"I don't know. I mean it's kinda nice keeping it a secret. You know?" He replied.

"Yeah, I know. We have some time to kill before work." I said.

 "Should we stop and get some breakfast?" He asked.

"Sure!"

We went into a small restaurant and sat down in a booth. I was reading my menu and I looked up to see Zuko staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You're beautiful." He was still staring at me. I blushed. 

"When did you get so cheesy?" I teased.   

"I'm just saying it how it is," He shrugged. 

"What would you two like to drink today." I looked up to see the same old woman who sat across from us on the train.  

"I'll just get water. It's nice to see you again." I smiled at her. Zuko looked confused. 

"I'm glad to see you two are still together." She smiled back. Zuko looked even more confused. 

"Wh- umm, I'll get water too." He said. She turned and walked away. "How do you know that old lady? How did she know we're dating?" 

I laughed. "She sat across from us on the train when we were going into the city."

"That still doesn't explain how she knows we're together." 

"Well, when you fell asleep... I uhh... kissed you on the forehead." My voice got quieter in the last part. My face was red.

He smirked. "Oh really? Hmm, and why was that?" 

"Because I love you, Dumbass," I mumbled. 

"What was that?" He cupped his hand around his ear. "I couldn't hear you."   

I rolled my eyes. "I love you, dumbass."           

He put hands behind his head and smiled cocky, "And what's that like?" 

"Well, you left me I felt completely lost. I could barely wake up in the mourning." His face suddenly turned serious. He put his hands on mine. 

"I- I'm so sorry. I thought I was helping you-" His voice broke.

"It doesn't matter. We are together now. I'm happy here. I'm happy with you." I laced my fingers with his. "You make me happy."

I was getting more cups from the back when I heard a man say. "How would you like to have your own tea shop?" I walked out to see three men talking to Iroh.
