The Fire Angel (ATLA Fanfic)

The Crossroads of Destiny

Lillian and Zuko laid tangled against each other's bodies in the morning sunlight that shone through Zuko's bedroom window. The birds chirped at the window as a lovely scent of tea entered the room. The magnificent scent reached Lillian's nose and caused her stomach to swirl at the thought of having some of Uncle's jasmine tea...

Wait a minute....

Tea...

"Oh MY AGNI!" Lillian squeaked as she shot up.

"aahhhh!!!" *THUD*

Lillian rose her brow and looked over at the empty bed beside her. Zuko lay face first on the floor grumbling something about sleeping in, "What are you cursing for so early in the morning?" Zuko asked as he sat up on his knees. Lillian gazed at the grumpy prince as he rubbed his eyes, "We over slept!!!" Lillian hissed as she jumped out of the bed and began panicking, "Uncle is serving the earth king soon and we are still in our... our... " Lillian began looking around for her clothes, "We are still naked." Zuko said with a raised eyebrow. Lillian walked towards Zuko and tossed him his fancy robes, "Would you get dressed already!" Lillian stated in a slight panic searching for her bra. Zuko stood up and grabbed Lillian's arm and pulled her into his chest. Lillian stood wide eyed and started to blush realizing that both of them were still naked from the night before, that took a while to sink in, "Would you calm down for a minute." Zuko whispered as he held Lillian close and rested his chin on her head, "We have plenty time." Zuko whispered again as he scooped Lillian up in his arms and tossed her back onto his bed. Lillian tried to stand up again but Zuko stopped her by laying on top of her. Zuko took hold of Lillian's hands and placed them on either side of her head and caged her legs between his, "Zuko what if Uncle-" Zuko rolled his eyes, "Uncle is busy making tea, so in other words his too busy." Zuko whispered leaning down. Lillian forgot quickly about them over sleeping as Zuko placed a soft loving kiss on her lips, "Now... about last night..." Zuko growled in Lillian's ear, "what about it?" Lillian whispered as she felt his hot breath tickle her ear-

"Good Morning Prince Zuko! I Made you some-"

*Crash*

"eeeeeeeeppp!" Lillian squeaked before pushing Zuko right off of her and ripping the covers over her body.

Iroh tried to keep calm but felt his face heat, "Pa-pardon the intrusion but I made you tea--- well i did... it's uh on the floor now uh I uh-"

"Uncle, Uh We um... Could you, uh" Zuko stammered as he pointed towards the door,

"LEAVE!" Lillian cried in embarrassment from under the cover's.

Zuko face palmed as Iroh backed out of his room giving the young prince a thumbs up.

Once the door slid shut Lillian peeked out from under the cover's, "I TOLD YOU!" Lillian huffed as she smacked Zuko over the back of his head. Zuko rolled his eyes and picked up Lillian's undergarments and handed them to her, "Just shut up and get dressed." Zuko pouted and crossed his arms over his chest.

Once Lillian and Zuko were finally dressed they both walked cautiously out of Zuko's room. Iroh stood in the apartment gathering the rest of his things for his meeting with the earth king. When Lillian and Zuko stood in the kitchen Zuko cleared his throat, "So Uh... What can we help you with?" Zuko asked his Uncle. Lillian felt her cheeks blush even deeper

'oh man... I really didn't need Uncle walking in on us like that... What if he tells someone! eeep! What if he tells Grandpa Ping???? oh man I can see his face now.... And I am Betrothed to someone else........ but... I regret nothing,,,'

Lillian thought to herself as she watched Iroh try to avoid eye contact.

"Let us go so that we may be ready." Iroh said sternly but his face remained pink. Lillian squeezed her eyes as Zuko took her hand with a flushed face and pulled her towards the door, "He's way too busy..." Lillian said mimicking Zuko's voice from earlier that morning. Zuko gave Lillian a serious look that caused her to giggle, "Lets just go.." Zuko groaned.
