Ever heard the expression that the guest sees more in one night then the host will in a year or something like that? Well anyway, it's been ages, I know, my computer crashed and I had to wait until my brother could come down and fix it (He works six days a week and lives four hours away so he had to wait until the holidays to come down). But yay! I finally posted again, and it's Jinko! And it's extremely fluffy, I noticed that for some reason people seem to like doing fluffy ones for Maiko and angst-y ones for Jinko for some random reason, or do I only seem to come across those ones? Oh well it doesn't matter, it's twelve a.m. and I have to get up early tomorrow so I hope you enjoy it, I'll stop rambling now. Read & Review!

Oh, and a rambling P.S. too but I couldn't remember how to spell the fake names that they used so hopefully I'm not too far off base and as always I don't have a beta so any mistakes are mine and I'm terribly sorry for any there may be.

Jin/Zuko

Because who wouldn't use their super cool ninja powers to impress girls?

The Moonlit City.

It had been just over a week since Zuko, exiled Prince of the Fire Nation, had officially given up his mission to capture the Avatar, now he had a different mission: Apology Tea.

It was his uncle Iroh's idea of course, who else would have a mission named Apology Tea, and as soon as he heard those words come out of the old man's mouth he regretted mentioning that he missed the Earth Kingdom girl.

He regretted those words even more later that evening when he was leaving a flower, tea, and a note on her doorstep, once again uncle's idea. Sighing he resigned himself to his mission, even with his uncle's exaggerations it was still basically what he wanted.

It was just past dusk when a young Earth Kingdom woman named Jin was startled out of her reverie by the noise of someone drumming their knuckles on her front door. Tired from study the young woman groaned at having been interrupted by the insistent and incessant knocking but made her way to the door neither the less.

Warily rubbing her eyes she looked out the small window of the door but found no one in sight, frowning slightly to herself she unlatched the locked door and pulled it open.

Curious at seeing no one once more after leaning out and looking both ways down the street she took a gentle, tentative step outside pulling back immediately when her foot brushed against something made of china.

Kneeling down she found a large china teacup; it had an intricate and beautiful Earth Kingdom design painted on the outside of it.

Underneath the cup lay a piece of paper, carefully being weighed down by the tea so as not to blow away in the wind. Obscuring what was written on the paper was an exquisite and fragrant red flower. Picking it up and sliding the paper out from under the cup that she noted was full of steaming hot Jasmine tea, her favorite.

She read what had been written on the paper in what was obviously a man's writing. In large characters was the word "Sorry." Beneath it, the phrase that had been concealed by the flower, was: "Meet me tonight outside the Jasmine Dragon in two hours."

A small smile graced her lips as she picked up and tea and lifted the flower to her nose, sniffing the beautifully scented delicate flower.

Grinning to herself she slowly walked back inside with her tea, flower and note. She softly shut her door behind her unaware that the whole scene had been watched from a few rooftops away. The Blue Spirit watching just out of her line of vision.

The streets of Ba Sing Se were lit with lines of hanging lanterns, a cool breeze making its way through the streets of the city as she did the same, making her way to Li and Mushi's tea shop.

She was dressed in one of her nicer Earth Kingdom green dresses, a dark green shawl wrapping around her shoulders.

Reaching the teashop, that still seemed fairly busy inside, she didn't see Li anywhere. Peering in the shop window she could see Mushi conversing with a friendly customer, he spared her a smile when he spotted her peeking in, a twinkle in his amused aged eyes as he then turned back to his conversation.

Confused she looked back up and down the road, there were many people in the crowded night streets but she could not see Li anywhere amongst the rabble. Sighing she leant against the wall of the teashop, waiting for her date, trying not let her hopes get the best of her in case he didn't show up.

She didn't hear Li walk up to her from behind, emerging from the dark ally beside his uncle's shop.

"Jin, I'm glad you came." He said, making her jump by seemingly appearing right beside her.

"Oh, there you are Li! You gave me a fright." She smiled relieved and happy to see him, still clutching a hand to her chest from shock.

"I apologize, I didn't mean to." He said, a twitch of his lips indicating an almost smile at her overreaction.

"It's fine," she said quickly regaining her wits, "I'm just glad to see you." She was surprised by what he was wearing thought, black clothing that looked very much made for sneaking places undetected.

"Y-you look very… lovely tonight." He stumblingly complimented, bringing a light blush to her cheeks.

"Thank you." She murmured, tugging on the edges of her shawl to try and keep from being nervous around the young man.

He rubbed the back of his neck in an uncertain manner, knowing that his last date with this girl had not gone very well at all.

He seemed to struggle for what to say for a second before finally settling for, "I have something to show you."

He nervously took a hold of one of her hands, gesturing to the ally behind him. For a moment she looked unsure about trusting a boy who was trying to guide her down an ally way at night but she ended up settling for trusting Li and letting him lead her down the dusty dirt lane.

"It's a dead end." she pointed out as they reached the end of the ally way, her nerves peeking again.

But he just smiled, a touch of confidence leaking into his features, "You would think so... But it's not." Climbing atop a number of stacked junk boxes he then offered her his hand to help her get up which she accepted gladly, doing the same he lead her up on top of the roof of his uncle's shop.

"This way," He said quietly, leading her from rooftop to rooftop all about the city for a good twenty minutes until finally they came to a raised roof that was hard for even him to climb up and he kindly helped her up the steep railing.

Thank y-" She had started upon tumbling onto the roof but the sight before her cut it off before she could finish.

It was Ba Sing Se... But in all her life of living in the city she had never seen it like this. The beauty was astounding from this height, The whole city was laid out before them, it was hard to believe.

She sat for a moment simply gazing wide eyed at the sight, Zuko grinned at her reaction to the spot he had found months before as the Blue Spirit.

"Come on," He gently pulled her to the edge so she could get the full view and then he sat beside the speechless girl.

The lights of the city seemed dim compared to the moonlight that washed over them and the great city below. The powerful full moon casting its shadow over Ba Sing Se.

"Thank you, Li." She softly muttered, finishing her sentence from before but this time with a new meaning, "It's beautiful." And it was, it was more beautiful then any flower or gift she had ever received.

"I know," he murmured quietly beside her as she leaned her head against him and he placed his hand over hers.

The two teens stayed bathed in moonlight on the rooftop, taking in the sight of the moonlit city below for a long time, both knowing that there was no one else in the world they would rather share this moment with.

End.
