A/N: Okay, I have no excuse. This is just my inner fangirl talking, I fully admit it! I really, really wish they had given General Iroh more screen time in the show.
Disclaimer: I don't own Legend of Korra.
Sure he may be cute, but not that cute. Chunhua muttered as she pushes through the crowd. She is a Journalist and they're all here to see General Iroh of the United Forces and prince of the Fire Nation.
She had to fight her colleagues for this spot today, most of which were women. Truthfully, she didn't get what the fuzz was about him. She was always away on another assignment when there's news concerning the prince and Chunhua just didn't have the time or the energy to look him up.
The dock of Republic City was full of people, all waiting for him apparently. There were shouting different things at the same time and it made Chunhua's ears ring. She was slim and taller than most women so she had gotten herself as far as the second row of people near the ship.
Chunhua dressed her best for today, this was her biggest interview yet. She's wearing a white undershirt, a blue embroidered jacket and a matching pencil skirt. Chunhua decided to wear her sensible brown sandals, she had a feeling that she'll run a lot. Her long red hair was tucked into a working bun and she put on light make-up to complete her look.
Chunhua stood on her tiptoes but she didn't see the prince. She doesn't know what he looks like but she'll recognize him from his decorations. She came prepared after all.
He is the son of Fire Lord Izumi and grandson of the peace ambassador Lord Zuko. He's the youngest general in the United Forces and a fire bending master in his own right, he was able to take down more than five airplanes on his own in an effort to help the avatar. They started to call him a flying ace for that marvelous feat.
The gangplank was lowered and screeching filled Chunhua's ears so she quickly covered them. Suddenly, the crowd serge forward and she was jostled and thrown off of her feet. Chunhua's eyes widen, she was about to fell in, so she screamed on the top of her lungs.
Before Chunhua hit the water, strong warm arms rap around her middle, effectively pulling her to safety. Chunhua was still unsteady on her feet, she can hear her pols roaring in her ears.
"Are you alright?" someone rasped behind her.
Chunhua jolted, she had forgotten the one who saved her. She also realized that she was still leaning on his chest. That fact made her blush.
"I-I'm okay, thank you so much for saving me," Chunhua said as she turns around. "I-I-I…"
She couldn't finish her sentence because standing before her was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her entire life. He was wearing the uniform of a military officer, decorated pins peppering his broad shoulders. He was a tall man with neat hair, chiseled jaw and mesmerizing amber eyes. His skin was a bit ruff and slightly tanned, signs of a working man.
Chunhua forgot to breathe. The one who saved her, was General Iroh himself. And she was right, he wasn't cute, not at all.
He was drop dead gorgeous!
Chunhua just turn into a convert right then and there.
A/N: Thanks for reading.
