Not as it seems
Chapter 3
The events of last night remained in Zuko's head till the following day. She tried to forget what she had done. She blood bended someone, and it made her sick to her stomach. Even though Jet tried to hurt her Uncle- no. Kill her Uncle. Jet was still a living being. However, it was also right to have done that. The events of last night were just a short touch of the past. Hopefully, they will not bring up anymore unwanted past.
Zuko was in the back counter heating some tea for people out the front.
"Lee! Guess what!" Moshi said. Zuko turned at the sound of her uncle's voice that just came through the counter door, considering she was wearing her blind fold.
"What is it?" Zuko said.
"We've been assigned to a higher region in Ba-Sing-Sa! Now I can open up my own tea shop!" Moshi yelled in joy. She felt her Uncles steps dance in joy. A smile touched the corner of her lips just a little at her uncle's acts, she was very happy that her uncle got what he always wanted. His own tea shop.
"That's great Uncle." Zuko said. Uncle stopped moving and seem to be facing Zuko.
"My dear, is something on your mind?" Uncle asked gentle.
"Uncle! Don't say that! You know people have ears!" Zuko scolded in a whisper. Uncle was looking at his Niece, blind folded, with a frown hoping to see right through them.
"I know. But you seem unease. Is it because of last night's events?" Uncle questioned. Nothing gets pasts her uncle.
"It's just-... I want everything to be over. The war. Everything. I just want to be at peace. I- I want to live a quiet life. No Azula. No O-Ozai. No people yelling fire benders!" Zuko grunted. Uncle frowned deeper in sadness.
Stuttering on her father's name is never a good sign. She still fears him. Iroh thought. Iroh would never forgive the amount of pain Zuko had suffered by Ozai. He only wished he was there to protect her.
"Zuko, you know that the wind passes by without a care. Until it's been stopped by a great mountain. The wind has no choice but to brake off and hopefully get past the mountain, sneaking past it. But if the mountain it too big. The will have to keep bounding at it till the mountain falls. You can either hope the problem isn't too big and sneak past it with little effort to avoid it or keep fighting. Because in the end, even for a little while. Peace, is given as a reward, for what it's worth." Uncle smiled at Zuko, even if she couldn't see him, and left.
Zuko listened to one of her Uncle's talks. Sometimes they helped. Sometimes they didn't. This time it did help. Whenever something comes back up. She can either avoid or hope for the best or fight. It's as easy as that.
Suddenly, she felt a familiar steps enter the shop. Zuko growled and stomped through the door into the serving area.
"What are you doing here Jet? I told you never to come back here! Or do you need another lesson." Zuko grunted and lifted her blind fold up. She looked at a shocked Jet before the freedom fighter gulped.
"How did ya know it was me?" He asked.
"Just do. Now what do you want? You got ten seconds before I give you the chance to hold my Uncle captive again, and to send your ass over the Ba-Sing-Sa wall." Zuko snapped.
Jet smirked. "What? Can't a guy have a cup of tea?" Trying to look innocent, and hide his fear of the 'man'. Zuko glared. Jet's face fell a little. "Okay ya got me. I just wanted to say I'm sorry, and that I wanted to make it up. Okay?" Jet finished looking over with a blush. Which Zuko couldn't see thanks to Jet's darker skin.
Zuko stared in surprise, with the earth bending she picked up that she could tell if someone was lying. Unless Jet was a really, really go liar. Jet was being honest. Zuko sighed.
"Apology accepted. Take a seat." Zuko indicated to a seat at the back. Jet looked surprised and nodded. Jet sat down and watched Zuko enter the back door. Jet really wanted to get close to Zuko. He had this feeling of wanting to be close to the waiter and now he was blushing like a school girl. Jet really wanted to find out more so he can conclude what these feeling are he had for the 'guy'. He still had no idea that Zuko was a girl. Zuko came back with a book and pencil and an apron on ready to take his order.
"What would you like?" Zuko looked at him.
"Umm. If I order some Jasmine, could ya just sit down and talk?" Jet asked. Zuko glared at Jet denting the pencil with force.
"Just order something." Zuko grunted.
"Aww, is this how ya treat your customers?" Jet snickered at Zuko. Zuko looked like she was trying to tame her anger. Jet thought it was rather cute, seeing the waiter angry.
"Fine." Zuko went to get the tea. A few minutes have passed and Zuko came back with one cup of tea. Zuko slammed it in front of Jet, spilling some hot tea on the table and Jet's hand. Jet hissed and rubbed his burned hand but didn't show anger, but he did hide it well. Zuko slumped down on the opposite side of Jet.
"So, why was ya uncle bouncing around like an idiot." Jet smiling, taking a sip of his tea. At that, Zuko didn't retaliate to the insult made at her Uncle. Zuko kept calm. Thinking about the calmness of the lake like a water bender would. Push and pull. Breathe out and in.
Okay, can't avoid this. Just have to play along. Zuko thought.
"Uncle has been allowed his own tea shop."
"Oh that's neat." Jet nodded. The awkward silence feel over them both as Zuko just stared at Jet while Jet tried to not look at the waiter 'boy'.
"What do you want?" Zuko asked impatiently. Jet smirked at Zuko.
"Nothing. Just trying to get to know you."
"Well, don't. I already had enough of you stalking me, and trying to kill my uncle. So I rather not have you in my life." Zuko said bitterly. Jet cringed at the tone and felt ashamed. But didn't show it on his face and replaced his hurt with a smirk.
"Ouch. That's harsh. Come on, I said I was sorry. I know! I'll help you out around the shop." Zuko was about to turn down his help with no mercy with a side order of Jet's ass kicked out. Iroh pop out of nowhere.
"Well. What a nice young man. Of cores you can help." Iroh smiled. Zuko stared at her Uncle in complete shock.
What is he thinking!
"What! No he can't. He called us fire benders!" Zuko accused.
"Now now Lee. Let us allow this young man's help. Besides, it's nice to have a friend." Iroh smiled and turned before Zuko could object.
"Well, guess I'll be seeing you more often." Jet smiled and left.
Now I get be closer to him! Yes! Thanks old man!
Jet did a little skip once out of sight.
Zuko just stood there in shock and grief. She face palmed in mid air at the death sentence that had now been written.
