"Pack your bags we're going to your Uncle's." Jet's voice shot into Zuko's mind dispelling his thoughts. Zuko just stared at him then it sunk in. Though Iroh was more of a father to him then his own father Zuko didn't feel like going anywhere this summer especially not the city.

"I don't wa-" Zuko started to protest but Jet gave him that look like his father that I-dare-you-to-disobey-me look that took all the fight out of Zuko. Zuko sighs, nods, and heads to his room to pack.

"Yeah we'll be there." Jet talks into the receiver. "Don't worry I'll protect him."

Zuko stares out of the car watching the scenery pass by in a whirlwind of color. For the duration of their car ride Zuko has been flipping his lighter open and close nonstop. Jet finds this highly irritating but tries to ignore it. It's no secret that Zuko likes fire more than the average person but that sound must be driving him nuts. Zuko looked at Jet out of the corner of his eye. By the way Jet was tapping his finger on the wheel Zuko could tell Jet was agitated. Zuko figured his insistent flipping of his lighter would annoy Jet but flipping his lighter always calmed him down. He need to calm down especially since Jet was so close to him but he snapped it shut and put it away. It was better to be worked up then to have Jet annoyed at him.

Zuko remembers the time when he annoyed Jet by accident one time back in junior high that Jet ignored him completely for a week. A small ghost of a smile graced Zuko's lips as he remembers that time even if he can't remember what he did to annoy Jet so much but still, he had fun with Jet. There was this other time in elementary where the guys ganged up on him because they said he acted like he was better than them though Zuko didn't do anything he just didn't know how to interact with other people. People skills and communication skills were never Zuko's strong points even if he could always get his point across clearly to other people. The kids had Zuko backed in a corner when Jet came out of nowhere and told everyone to leave him alone and for some reason everyone listened to him. That was probably because Jet has always been a born leader. Unlike me, who can't even stand up to my own father or younger sister.

"Hey Zuko, you in there?" Breaking Zuko's self pity party he was having inside his head.

"W-w-what?" Zuko asked startled. He hated when someone was trying to talk to him when he was deep in thought especially when he was having a self pity party. It just made him feel weak.

"Dude, we're here." Jet just looked at Zuko questioningly. Oh. Zuko just nodded his head and got out of the car, retrieved his luggage, and headed straight for the door. Before Zuko even reached the door Iroh opened the door and gave Zuko a huge hug.

"I missed you. You should come around more often Zuko." Iroh's rugged voice exclaimed happily. No matter what happens to Zuko his Uncle Iroh always made him feel at peace just by being in his presence.

"I'll try." Zuko replied smiling.

"You too Jet! You have to visit more often and have my famous tea." Iroh went over and gave Jet a hug too. Iroh was also like a father to Jet after he lost his parents in a house fire when he was eight and Iroh took him in as his own even though he lost his son to the war earlier that year.

"I will Mr. Fenikkusu." Jet replied politely and grinned at Iroh. Iroh sighed. Even after so many years of being treated like a son by Iroh, Jet still liked to very former to ex-CEO of Pryo World.

"Well Iroh, are going to invite them in or are you just going to let them stand outside all day." A beautiful woman with long black hair, hourglass body, and a devious smirk asked from the doorway of the Jade Dragon.

"Be patient, I was only greeting them June." Iroh turned around and flashed his giant goofy smile at her causing a light blush to grace her fair skin cheeks. June hmmphed in reply and turned and entered the Jade Dragon. Zuko looks at Jet and they both smirk at one another.

"What?" Iroh exclaims. "You think just cause I'm old I can't get a lady? Just so you know she's a keeper." Iroh winked at them. That just makes Zuko and Jet laugh out loud. It wasn't that they thought he couldn't get a lady, they just found it funny that Iroh, always being their caregiver that it was hard to imagine him flirting with women and taking one home to keep. Still laughing Iroh ushered them inside while he just smiled.

"Nothing has changed so both of you can use your old rooms. Dinner is at 8 so I expect everyone at the table, washed up, and ready to eat by then. Breakfast is served at 6 for you. You can stay out as late as you want as long as you get back before the shop closes." Iroh explained to them.

"I don't remember you ever setting times to eat or sleep." Jet observed.

"Well it's 'cause I didn't but June insists that I become a little more responsible but I think it's because she doesn't want me to be a bad role model when she has kids." *BAM* "June!" Iroh wines as he rubs the spot on his head that June hit him with her fist.

"Whoever said I was going to have your kids?" June questions while walking out to the garden. Jet and Zuko laugh at this while Iroh just smiled his goofy smile following June out to the garden.

"Since you are in high school I figure you're responsible enough that I don't need to watch over you guys like a mother hen anymore do I?" Iroh shot over his shoulder. Both of them shook their heads. No way did they need to be babysat.

"Guess we should start unpacking." Zuko looked over at Jet. Zukos' eyes met Jets' dark brown eyes like moist soil and his body shivered unintentionally as they pierced Zuko's heart.

"You're sleeping with me." Jet sated matter-of-factly.

I forgot to put this in the first chapter characters might be a little out of character for the purpose of this fanfic though I will try to the best of my ability not to do that. Also I would appreciate any comments and if you are going to say anything negative then please be polite and respectful about it and tell me why you think that. Though I hope that you do enjoy my work and yes I know it is an awkward place to end. I know that Iroh's teashop is called the Jasmine Dragon i just like the Jade Dragon better so :P.
