A/N: Well here's my extremely late prompt for Broh Week! Enjoy!
Iroh II sat in his room in the Fire nation palace. Long, formal robes billowed around him. Today, he was to be crowned fire lord. He was sweating like crazy, nervous shivers making him lose his appetite and just making him cranky in general (A/N LOL PUN).
The door opened and his head whipped up, and he sighed in relief as his husband slipped into the room. He smiled at the sight of his earthbender in fire nation robes. Bolin smiled back and walked over to sit on his husband's lap, "They tried to put my hair into that ridiculous top knot thing again. After the fiasco at our wedding I promised myself never again would I subject my hair to such abuse."
Iroh laughed, "Some of us aren't as lucky. My grandfather is coming to do mine because according to my mother I'm highly incapable of doing it for myself." Bolin stood up, smirking, and held up a large brush, "Change of plans I'm afraid! Your mother is letting me do your hair." Iroh couldn't really flee from the brush wielding earthbender in his robes so Bolin scrambled onto the large bed and started to brush his shoulder length hair. He was gentle, brushing slowly and methodically. Iroh soon began to relax but his high level of stress at the moment made him somewhat fidgety.
Bolin continued brushing but asked, "What's wrong, babe?"
Iroh sighed, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I fail my people? I've never done anything like this! I didn't grow up in court all my life! And army life is completely different from this! I could single handedly topple the fire nation."
Bolin was quiet but suddenly Iroh yelped as he was hit over the head by a metal brush, "What is this general Iroh? Is this doubt? You didn't become a top general by doubting yourself! Your men trusted you and you served them spectacularly. Your grandfather and mother will help you. And-" He paused to quickly pull the hair up into a bun, "You have me. I will always be here to help you. And even though I have never done any of this before I promise you I will try my best."
The earthbender let out a surprised noise as Iroh pulled him from his kneeling position and onto his lap into a full blown kiss. Iroh deepened the kiss and then broke away, resting his forehead on Bolin's, "Bolin I love you."
"And I love you Iroh."
A sudden knocking startled the couple and they toppled off the bed onto the floor as Zuko stuck his head inside, "O-oh! Was I interrupting something?!"
Iroh and Bolin shot up to a standing position, "No! No sir! We fell off the bed! Well we weren't. I mean-" Zuko shook his head and sighed, "Let's just forget this ever happened, okay? But it's time, Iroh." and he left the room.
Iroh grasped Bolin's hand tightly as they followed his grandfather out. Iroh looked over at Bolin's proud figure and he smiled. With Bolin here he could never doubt himself.
