Zuko's point of view

I think back to the days when I was banished and scared of my father. Has it really been three years? Three years of living in the Earth Kingdom, living in a tiny apartment, and working in a small cafe.

Now that I'm living in a small apartment in the earth kingdom working at my uncle's shop, my sister has been taking care of the fire kingdom. I'm still the banished prince with the scar of my face, never to be welcomed back to the Fire Kingdom. I don't really care though, it wasn't for me. I have a new life but the scars of the past still haunt me. While on my way to work I saw Aang (who is now taller than me) and his friends are outside of my uncles shop.

"Hey Zuko, want to come and eat with us." He asked as I blushed a little at him.

"Sorry I can't, I have to go to work now but maybe later." I said walking into the shop.

"You work here Zuko?" He asked walking in behind me.

"Yeah it is my uncle's shop." I said getting my apron on and grabbing some menus.

"So you guys going to eat here?" I asked.

"Ya." He said a simple answer but it still made me blush. After they ordered their drinks I went to go get them. When I walked back my heart was crushed, I saw Katara kissing Aang. Before I realize it the drinks in my hand were on the floor and Uncle was rushing towards me.

"Zuko are you okay?" Uncle asks me.

"Ya I just need to get some fresh air." I says walking towards the back.

"Zuko, this isn't one of your fainting spells is it?" He asked quickly.

"No, I'm fine just a little shock" I said sighing quietly.

"Is this about your crush on Aang and how Katara kissed him?" He said as he made more drinks.

"Wha- I mean, how did you know?" I asked completely shell shocked.

"Well... You stare at him all the time, you blush when you're around him and Ty lee might have told me." He said making me blush.

"But he doesn't love me, he loves Katara." I said as tears formed in my eyes, but I wouldn't let them fall, I mastered that years ago.

"Zuko? Are you okay?" Aang said walking to the back of the shop. I covered my face quickly and turned around.

"I'm fine." I said, "I'll be out with your drinks in a minute."

"Are you sure?" Aang asked.

"Yes I'm fine." I said annoyed.

"Okay, I'll just go back to the table then." He said hesitantly. I picked up my phone and called Ty lee fast.

"Ty lee can you come over and take my shift?" I asked my voice cracking a little as I spoke.

"Ya I'm on my way, please don't do anything stupid." She said worried.

"I won't." I said smiling slightly at her concern. I took Aang's group there drinks and took their order. When I turned around I heard Toph whispered to Katara.

"I don't think I wanna drink this, he probably spit in it." She said bitterly.

"Ew me either." Katara whispered back. Tears once again stung my eyes as I turned back and said quietly.

"Ty lee will give you your meals once she arrives, I have to go take care of something." I said and both Toph and Katara blushed knowing I heard them but at that point I didn't care. I walked to the back got the other customers drinks and brought them to them, when I served two elderly ladies they surprised me.

"I heard what those young lady's said about you, you don't have to put up with that. I've been coming here for months and you've been a wonderful server. Thank you." One said, I smiled lightly at them both and thanked them. I when to the back just as Ty lee came in.

"Ty lee! Thank you so much I'm gonna go home now. Here's the orders so far." I said hugging her lightly.

"No problem Zuko, Come back when you're feeling up to it." She said ruffling my hair then she put her apron on.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later tonight." I said taking off my apron. "I'm going home, Ty lee's taking over for me. Bye uncle!" I said bowing to him, I heard him call out his goodbye and I took off. As I was walking I heard footsteps following me and getting closer

"Zuko wait up what's wrong? You took off and Had Ty lee come in." Aang asked coming into step with me.

"Nothing, I'm fine I just forgot something." I said to him and started to walk faster but he stayed at speed with me.

"Zuko just tell me what the wrong, is it something that Katara and Toph said?" He asked.

"It's nothing!" I said annoyed, I didn't wanna talk about this.

"Tell me what the fuck's wrong!" He yelled out, I stood there shocked. Aang never cursed, at least three years ago he didn't. Before I really knew what was happening my knees gave out on me and I fell. Aang caught me from hitting the ground and I just stared at him for a little. "Zuko? Hey look, I'm sorry I yelled at you. Are you okay? Do you need help home?" He asked with regret in his voice.

"Ya, I could use some help..." I said my voice very shaky just like my body. This happened occasionally, my body weak from past stupidity. As he helped me up my feet, I just couldn't hold me up. He realized I wasn't going to be able to hold myself up so his put one arm behind my back and the other behind my knees and picked me up bridal style.

"Hey grab on tight." He told me so I did, as soon as he saw I was holding on he carried me towards my apartment. I cuddles close to his chest and hid my face. This was so embarrassing having him do this, but at least it was better than me trying to walk home on no legs.
