Chapter 6

                                    

                                          
Y/n P.O.V.
At Night...
It was around 9:00 p.m. and we started closing up shop. Me and Zuko are in the kitchen, washing the dishes while Azula and Uncle Iroh are cleaning up the tables and setting up the chairs. 
Y/n: What a day?
Zuko: You said it! Is always the weekends that is the busies especially in the morning. 
Y/n: We were lucky that we manage another day with Azula causing trouble.
Zuko: Yeah, I swear sometimes I don't get her sometimes. If she keeps acting like this with everyone she meets, I doubt she'll find anyone willing to date her.
Hearing Zuko say that, it made me remember my past relationships and how all four ended miserably at the end with each of them cheating on me.
Y/n: I think it's good thing, she doesn't get into any relationship.  
Zuko: What do you mean, Y/n? Sure Azula is cruel and mean an all but she still somewhat cute, I think. 
Y/n: Don't misunderstand me, Zuko. I mean... being in a relationship with someone, you either like or love is incredible. But expect to get heartbroken at the end when you learn the truth about your partner. 
Zuko: It sounds like you experience it, first hand. 
That because I have... four times. And each one hurting worst then the last.
Y/n: You can say... I know someone. 
Zuko: Ok, then. Anyway I never told you this but I'm actually dating someone right now. 
Y/n: Really? Who is she?
Zuko: Her name is Mai. We been childhood friends before uncle Iroh took me and Azula in. She tend to stay quiet and reserved to herself especially to her own family. But she is really caring once you get to know her better and she's an amazing knife thrower.
Y/n: She sounds amazing, Zuko.
Zuko: Yeah, but we argue sometimes mostly because she gets upset with me keeping secret from her.
Y/n: She doesn't like the idea of you keeping secrets.
Zuko: She gets concerned if I'm doing something reckless with my life that she gets upset. That how caring Mai is towards me.
I wish Haruka was like that... at least in the beginning she was when we were younger. 
Y/n: You're a lucky man, Zuko. 
Zuko: Thanks, Y/n.
We continue with washing all the dishes until Azula came barging in.
Azula: Hey! Are you guys done? I want to go home already.
Y/n: We're almost done, Azula.
Azula: Then hurried up! I'm tired already after that work.
Zuko: You know the reason behind it was because you caused more problems today with the customers.
Azula: Not my fault those peasants are pathetic.
Zuko: What is wrong with you?
Uncle Iroh then stepped into the kitchen to prevent any discussion from escalating.
Iroh: Now, now, there's no need to fight. The day is over and tomorrow is Sunday. So, all of you can relax tomorrow.
Y/n: Finally, tomorrow is lazy Sunday.
Azula: I guess...
Iroh: So, finish up with the dishes then we can close up shop for the day.
Y/n /Zuko: Alright!
