A/N: I just want to try my hand on this paring. It's my new favorite ship and to prove that I realize how cute these two are, I wrote a fan fiction! I'm not so sure, characters may be OOC.

I'll do it? I won't. I'll do it? I won't. I'll do it? I won't. Ty Lee is having a bad day, she's doing this all afternoon and to her dismay, it hasn't got her anywhere! She's plucking the petals of every flower she get her hands on in the Fire Palace. The acrobat looked at her feet and cringe at the amount of the discarded blooms there. People might think that she's crazy. Crazier than usual at least. She let-out a heavy sigh and snatches another flower. The young Kyoshi warrior decided to pick at the petals differently. This time, she balanced on one foot and twists her body in a difficult angle. I'll do it? I won't. She closed her eyes and started her mantra once more.

"What are you doing Ty Lee?" A deep raspy voice asked her. The question broke her concentration and caused her to fall gracelessly on her bed of murdered plants face first. She moaned irritably and lightly beat her fists on the flower covered ground. This is hopeless, she thought. Then, remembering the reason of her misfortune, she cranes her head to look at the person who distracted her and blanched.

"Z-Zuko! I mean Fire Lord!" She scrambled on her feet and promptly gives a Fire Nation bow. She made sure to lower her head than usual to hide her flaming face. Just her luck, of all the people to see her like this, it has to be him... The universe really hates her! He already thinks of her as a freak, he doesn't need another proof for that.

He raised an eyebrow at her questioningly. The young man is in his full Fire Lord regalia. Red, gold and black robes, posture straight, shoulders back, crown and all. He looks pretty imposing like that.

"Umm... Uhh..." Ty Lee couldn't form words, let alone a sentence. She desperately tried to think of anything but her cursed brain wouldn't work!

"So? He asks again, now crossing his arms, clearly waiting for her answer. "Is there any good reason why you decided to make it your life's mission to commit flower genocide in the garden?" He prodded her with a slight scowl on his hansom face.

Ty Lee squirms in discomfort. "I-It's not like that..." She mumbled, still looking everywhere but him.

Zuko just blink at her, bemused. Then he saw a little bloom by his feet and when he picked it up, he noticed that two of its petals have been removed. His glance flickered to the fidgeting girl in front of him and back to the abused bloom in his hand.

"Look, it's a girl thing!" His friend suddenly cried out and quickly snatched the poor flower out of his hands. Ty Lee's blushing madly and she looks like she wished she's anywhere but there.

A girl thing... Huh? Girls are really crazy, he thought. He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly and decided to leave. He came here to relax and this situation is not helping him at all. "Yeah, whatever. I just hope it won't be a permanent hobby of yours." He told her and walked off.

Ty Lee sighed, today is really not her day. When she saw that Zuko is far enough, she started to gather her ripped flowers morosely. Of all the people who could have seen her like that, of course it has to be Zuko! It's like the world is conspiring against her! She hasn't done anything yet! She can't even decide if she'll do it at all, the piles of mutilated blooms attest to that. She's just so confused! Ty Lee knows she has to do it but still... She's not sure she can so, she decided to do it the old way! The warrior gathered different kinds of flowers and started to pick their petals one by one while chanting I'll do it? I won't. She's doing that all day and she only stopped when Zuko found her.

Her flowers told her to get on with it! But after seeing Zuko, Ty Lee's confidence dropped dramatically. Sure, all of her flower petals ended saying I'll do it but it's not easy! She doesn't even know how to perform the impossible.

"Grrr! It's all Suki's fault!" The acrobat grouse. "How did she know anyway?" She muttered angrily.

'Am I that obvious?' She thought to herself.

Ty Lee is using all the stealth she possesses in her body, she can't be caught! It's a matter of life and death to her so failure is not an option! She spotted her target near the turtle-duck pond so she carefully tiptoed her way there. The young warrior pause every so often to glance over her surroundings. Her target might wake. Or worse, the other girls might be spying on her! Oh Agni, how did it come to this? Since when is Suki so perceptive anyway? The older girl is giving her pointed looks all day.

It all started like an ordinary day. They, the Kyoshi warriors are practicing together when suddenly, Suki suggested that a spar would be nice. The girls said yes but to mix it up a little, they agreed to have a bet. The losers would have to kiss the person they like and unfortunately for Ty Lee, she was one of the losers. So here she was, about to kiss the one she liked. Ty Lee's doing her very best to stay quiet, she knows that sneaking up on him is not an easy task. She's one of his bodyguards after all. The irony is not lost on the acrobat, she's doing the exact thing she's paid for to prevent.

The young woman controlled her breathing while tiptoeing lightly. The slightest sound could wake him up and that's the last thing that she wants. After an eternity to her but maybe just a few minutes in reality, she finally reaches her target. She looks down at him and tried to fight a gasp. Spirits, his hansom!

He's mostly still in his court attire but his crown is placed beside him. The young Fire Lord is peacefully sleeping and he used his outer robe as his pillow. His arms are lightly resting on his chest, his breathing even breaths and this is the most relax she'd ever seen him. Zuko's face has a mild look on it and Ty Lee can't stop herself from admiring him. He has fine high cheekbones, aristocratic eyebrows and long lashes that dusted his pale cheeks. The scar that adorns his face on his youth is less prominent now; Katara gave him a few healing sessions before. She asks him if he wants to get rid of it but Zuko refused. He said that his scar is a part of him and Ty Lee love him all the more for that.

To her, it is a reminder of his brave and caring nature. She was one of the first few who know how he got it and she's proud of him for that. Ty Lee's hand itched to run her fingers on his scar, pass his pointed nose, stubborn chin and those full, sensual lips. Oh no, her fingers are almost on his face and she quickly drew her hand back in panic. Crap, she has a mission to do!

Ty Lee's heart is doing somersaults in her ribcage and she has a legion of fluttering butterflies in her stomach. She's so close now, she has to do it! She quickly scans their location and when she found nothing, she took a deep breath and softly presses her lips to his. It was barely lips on lips, just a ghost of a kiss.

It still did the trick however, she feels like she's been shot by one of Azula's lightning's. His lips are warm and it caused her mind to shutdown indefinitely. It took all her strength to quietly retrace her steps in an effort not to be noticed. When she safely made her way back and she's sure that she's far enough, she touched her still tingling lips and thought; it's not such a bad day after all.
