"What are you looking at?" Indyira came up behind Zuko and kissed his neck. Zuko instinctively hunched his shoulders and snorted over how it tickled.

"Nothing. We've got a view of a brick wall." He said before leaned back against Indyira. Jet lifted an eyebrow. He had been following them because he thought they were fire benders but it seemed 'Lee' and 'Indy' were actually lovers. Against his better judgment he kept watching them.

"Mmm… Moshi won't be back until the tea shop closes in three hours." Indyira hummed. He didn't glance up even though he could feel eyes on them. Jet had a lot of balls spying on them after his warning earlier. He didn't scare easy which meant Indyira had to do something to really shock him into leaving them alone. "Your skin is so warm…" Zuko responded to his touch without hesitation – he didn't know Jet was watching them. He probably wouldn't want to carry on this way if he knew. Or maybe he just didn't care. "I got you something."

"A present?" Zuko asked before he turned to Indyira. He eagerness for gifts had never waned and Indyira smirked as he reached in his banbi. Zuko looked down at the vial Indyira placed in his hands and flushed a little. "Indy…"

"Ba Sing Se has quite a few red light districts." He said as he put his arms around Zuko. He nuzzled his neck and Zuko chuckled.

"I suppose we've waited long enough." He agreed. He pressed his lips to Indyira's ear. "I've been thinking about it ever since I came back."

"Really?"

"Yeah – we just never had time alone… or a bed." Zuko said. His nervousness didn't go unnoticed and Indyira embraced him.

"We don't have to if you don't—

"No!" Zuko said sternly. "Roll out your futon." He ordered.

"Yes sir." Indyira said and went to grab it from where they stored the beds in an alcove. He made up his bed – it was nothing fancy, just a tri-fold pad and a thick kakebuton. Zuko had gone into the bathroom for a moment so he sat there and waited for him. He was shrugging out of his shenyi when Zuko came out in a simple green robe. He didn't need coaxing to join Indyira in bed. He knelt between his legs and leaned in for a kiss. Indyira was a little irritated; he could still feel Jet watching. This was his private moment with Zuko he didn't want an audience even if it meant getting rid of him for good. He thought about closing the shutters but it was already so hot in the small apartment. Closing the window would make it unbarable - to him at least, Zuko seemed to thrive on heat. The hotter the better.

"What's wrong?" Zuko asked as he pulled at the sash for Indyira's pants.

"Nothing." Indyira said as he brought him in for a kiss. He flipped them over and laid Zuko out beneath him before he pulled open the robe. Zuko's skin was still so smooth and pale. He ran hands up his chest and around his neck when Zuko tipped his head back. He stroked down to his abdomen and Zuko spread his legs apart - welcoming Indyira to touch him where ever he wanted without saying a word. From his perch Jet probably couldn't see much but Indyira knew he could see enough through the open shutter.

"Indy…" When Zuko sighed his name he ceased to care what that little nuisance could see of his prince. Zuko handed him the vial and bent his knees. "Tease me later." Indyira smirked and uncorked the bottle. He wet his fingers and slid them into Zuko one at a time. Kneading the muscles in his thighs when he tensed up from the pain. Despite that he pushed himself further onto Indyira's fingers. "Yes…" He hissed and arched his back a little. Indyira reached up and rubbed over one nipple, then the other before he ventured lower and stroked Zuko's erection. His body relaxed and Indyira touched his sweet spot. "Ahh!" Zuko yelped and grabbed Indyira's wrist. He was biting his knuckle in an attempt to keep quiet.

"Does it hurt?"

"No." He shook his head. Indyira pulled back so he could slick up his erection. Zuko absently touched himself until Indyira pushed one hand against his thigh to get him open even wider. Zuko put his hand over Indyira's and they looked at each other for a moment. Zuko's single eyebrow pinched in to the middle of his forehead and Indyira gasped when he slipped inside. He went slow when Zuko looked like he was in pain. He took up the lube and poured more where their flesh met and he glided in easier. He watched himself disappear into Zuko until he screamed. His sudden out cry startled Indyira – he almost pulled back until he saw the curl on the edge of Zuko's lips. "That feels so good!" Zuko moaned so loud Indyira knew their neighbors could hear. Hell the entire city probably heard him.

"Yeah?" Indyira grunted as he pulled back. Zuko protested until he thrust forward again. He dug his nails into Indyira's shoulders. "Oh yeah, hang on to me." He put his arm around Zuko's back and pulled him up as he sat back. Zuko moaned wantonly right in his face. Indyira saw the last of his trepidation slip away as he was impaled on his cock. He thrust up and he felt Zuko press down into him. It was hot and his inner walls were so tight. Zuko wrapped his arms around Indyira's shoulders and bit his neck. "AHH! Damn..." It wasn't a very hard bite but he knew it left a mark.

"Harder… Indyira harder!" He demanded. Indyira put him on his back again and planted his hands on either side of his head before he drove in vigorously. Zuko let out the sweetest yelps with each push of his hips. Indyira kissed him and he moaned like it was the best kiss of their lives. Zuko wasn't expecting it to be so intense. He thought it would hurt more but the only discomfort he felt was a slight burn going up his back. But it was dwarfed by the feel of Indyira's hand on his erection and his lips on his neck. He sifted his fingers through Indyira's hair as they kissed.

"Are you close? Hm? Feel it coming already?" Indyira asked as he pecked along his jaw.

"Yes!"

"Come on – I know you're so close. Come for me." Indyira whispered as he ran his hands through Zuko's hair. "Come while I'm so deep inside of you… you feel so good on me. Love your pale skin… so sweet and tight, your beautiful eyes looking at me. Come on honey… come on." He absently rambled as he stroked Zuko's faster.

Zuko arched high when he hit his peak. Indyira was so thick inside him. He was so full to the point that it felt like he would burst and spill into a million little drops of liquid fire and pure sensation. He had never had pleasure like this. It was all consuming, intense like a raging inferno at his very core that radiated so deeply he could feel it in his soul. Despite that he wanted more – so much more. He knew his body would be sore and probably bruised be he didn't care – he wanted that too. He wanted Indyira to mark him, to be possessed and taken. His body belonged to Indyira now. It hit him like a kick from an ostrich-horse. Hard and fast and left him swimming in it like a vast lava pit of ecstasy. He felt his own jizz spill across his skin, Indyira's breathy moans in his ear, his hands all over him.

"Damn…"

"Inside… I want it inside me." Zuko gasped. Indyira leaned back and hooked his arms under Zuko's knees. He held him still as he drilled into Zuko at a punishing pace. He was almost to the point of not being able to take anymore when he felt Indyira's cock swell and then finally the hot rush of cum. "Ah…"

"Yes… oh just like that." Indyira moaned absently. He sunk down to his elbows and kissed Zuko until he was good and done. Zuko smoothed his hands across Indyira's face and smiled at his deeply sated expression.

"Mm… love being yours… I want you inside me every night…" He sighed. Indyira chuckled and tipped his head back. He glanced out the window when he caught sight of something moving. The laundry line that Jet had been hiding behind was swaying slightly – like he took off in a hurry. Indyira smirked as he slipped out of Zuko. He sat back on his legs and spread Zuko open despite he weak protests. "Come on, I wanna see it… wow there's so much."


Zuko was happy, very sore and a little tired but happy. Sometimes when he moved it still felt like Indyira was inside him and it made him flush. Especially when some of the customers noticed the dreamy look on his face. "He's just full of happiness." Indyira said. "I can brew you some if you want it." When Indyira said that he knew his face turned all the way red. Thankfully the two female customers didn't seem to notice his befuddlement or that Indyira's words had a dual meaning. Zuko turned to go in the back for more cups when he heard the tray in Indyira's hand go crashing to the ground. He turned around and Indyira was sprawled on the floor with a gash on his forehead.

"I'm sick of this." Jet said as he dropped the broken teapot he used to knock Indyira out. He took out his swords and glared at Zuko. "You guys are fire benders!" He put the pointed hook of the sword to Indyira's neck. He stirred and Zuko tried not to panic. "What you gonna do without your freaky boyfriend to protect you?"

"You're confused." Iroh tried to calm him down but he pressed the sword closer to Indyira's throat – it cause a knick in his skin and dark red blood soon stared to bead around it.

"You'll have to fire bend to save him." Jet growled. Zuko grabbed the swords from an Earth bending officer and kicked a table at him to get him away from Indyira. Jet dared to hurt what was his – Zuko was going to slice him to pieces.


"Can't believe the little bastard clocked me like that." Indyira said as he touched the bandage on his head. He scratched at the one of his neck. "Did you kill him?"

"No, the Di Lee came for him." Zuko said. "While you were in the hospital Uncle got his own tea shop."

"Wow!" Indyira exclaimed. He was about to turn down the normal street to their apartment when Zuko grabbed his hand and led him to the train.

"We don't live there anymore. Here." He said and handed Indyira some kind of badge. Indyira recognized his name but not much else. "Upper ring papers." Zuko clarified.

"All this happened in four days!?" Indyira asked.

"Amazing, right?" Zuko asked. "A lot happened. Wait until you see our new room."

"We share?" He asked. "What about Iroh?"

"He has his own. The new apartment is really nice." Zuko said and escorted Indyira off the train at their stop.

"You're in a good mood." Indyira noted. Zuko's eyes lit up as he smiled at him.

"I'm just glad you're okay. And things are going so well. Indyira this could be the start of a great life here." He leaned up and kissed him. Indyira nearly leaned into it until he remembered they were in public.

"Zuko—"

"It's not against the law here." He said before he took Indyira's hand. He laced their fingers together and kissed Indyira's knuckles as he stared at him astonished.

"A great life indeed." Indyira said. It was jarring but immensely pleasing to walk down the street with Zuko. The trees were blooming pink blossoms and the sun was nice and warm. He relaxed and enjoyed how close they got to be. He still felt watched but that was normal in Ba Sing Se. At least it was easier to breathe in the upper ring. He noticed that Zuko's clothes were nicer. Their new apartment was definitely nicer. "Where's Iroh?"

"He's signing the papers for our new tea shop." Zuko said as he ushered Indyira into their bedroom.

"Wow this is all ours? It's bigger than our entire apartment in the lower ring." Indyira said. There was enough room for a double size futon to remain unrolled and made up on the floor, a kotatsu and a meditation table. There were two square windows - one over the bed and the other across from the door into the room. "Do we—" Indyira trailed off when he turned to Zuko and found he was already half naked. He shrugged off his banbi and stepped out of his pants before he grabbed a washing basin and a towel.

"Wanna take a bath together?"

"We have our own!?" Indyira almost couldn't believe it. Even on the ship they had to share a large wash room with the rest of the crew. They still had to share with Iroh but it was better than having to trek three blocks down the street to the closest communal bath house in the lower ring. Indyira took off his clothes and followed Zuko to the bathroom. He turned on the water to fill up the tub before he filled up the basin. He gestured for Indyira to sit down and when he did Zuko soaked him with water before he started scrubbing him with a nice smelling soap. "This is like a dream. Did that blow to the head kill me—OWW!" Indyira yelped when Zuko pinched his cheek.

"Not a dream." He simply stated. Indyira grabbed him and got him soapy as well. Zuko just squirmed around when Indyira tickled him. They rinsed off and got in the tub together. Zuko waved his hands around and Indyira smiled when the water started to steam.

"I could get used to this." He sighed before he kissed Zuko on the forehead.
