Hey there! So this is where I'm gonna post all the fluffy ideas that don't fit into my other more serious/plot-driven Zuki fics. It assumes Zuko and Suki are dating. If you've read my story, Unmasking Truth, I imagine these happening sometime between Chapter 25 and the Epilogue, though these can be read as stand-alone pieces. Enjoy!

Bubble Tea

Suki stared into the brownish liquid, lifting up the clear glass and watching as several mysterious blobs floated around before settling to the bottom.

"Um…what did you say this was, Iroh?" she asked.

"It's my newest invention!" he said excitedly, leaning over the counter to plop a large straw in the top of the cup. "You must try it, my dear. I'm sure you'll love it!"

Warm fingertips gripped her shoulder. "Suki, don't do it," Zuko said seriously. He was staring at the drink, nose wrinkled in disgust.

"My nephew, just because you didn't like it doesn't preclude Suki from having a more refined palate."

Zuko scowled. "Aang didn't like it either…" he muttered, leaning his back against the counter and crossing his arms.

Suki paled a little, but smiled sweetly at Iroh as she took a small sip. Zuko turned back, staring at her wide-eyed as his uncle bounced up and down on his toes in anticipation.

Her eyes popped open as something unexpected flew up the straw and into her mouth. "Mmm!" she hummed in surprise.

"I knew this was a bad idea!" Zuko hollered, reaching out to snatch the glass away from her.

"Hold on," Iroh whispered harshly, holding an arm out to stop him.

Suki swished the drink around in her mouth for a moment, then chewed on the mysterious solid bits before letting it all slide down her throat.

She grinned widely. "Zuko, what's wrong with you? This is great!"

"What?!"

Iroh was beaming. "This isn't the best tea shop in Ba Sing Se for nothing!" he exclaimed. "You know what, I'll go start another batch of tapioca right now," he said eagerly, parting the curtain into the kitchen.

Suki continued sipping on the tea, smiling at the look of betrayal on Zuko's face.

"You don't have to say that just to make him feel good, you know," he grumbled.

"I wasn't," she smirked, taking another big swig to prove her point.

Zuko looked suddenly curious. "…Let me try that," he said, grabbing the drink from her hands.

"Hey!" she laughed, trying to grab it back. Zuko held her at arm's length, tilting the glass back and letting the rest of the drink fall into his mouth. He swallowed and grinned at her in triumph.

"You didn't leave me any!" Suki pouted.

Suddenly, Zuko's smile fell as his face grew white as a sheet.

"Oh spirits…don't you dare," she told him, leaning away.

Too late, he turned around and let the contents of his stomach empty into a large flower pot.

"Ugh! So much for kissing you today," she grimaced.

Zuko turned around slowly, wiping his mouth on his sleeve, a dangerous gleam in his eye as he moved closer.

"Oh, no…Zuko…stop right there…don't—aaaah!"

Squeals of laughter spilled into the kitchen. Iroh took his time making a fresh batch of tea, chuckling to himself all the while.

Zuko's gross, haha.
