Zuko, gn!reader, platonic.

This was Zuko's first few years of being the fire lord. So of course, there were a few things he didn't take into account. Like how his advisors and the pressure they would put on him and his nation. Not to mention the recent departure of his childhood love, Mei.
So it was up to you to help him out a bit. Your parent's were politicians and one of the few nobles to accept Zuko as the new fire lord. You knew him since he was young, so when he received word that YOU would be the one to become his personal assistant, he was excited! Which was uncalled for.
On your first day Zuko greeted you with a polite 'hello' whilst you bowed, but once his advisors left the throne room, he ran up to you and gave you an extremely tight hug. "z-Zuko, too tIgHT" you managed to say as he loosened up. "Apologies, I just haven't seen you in so long. Ever since my coronation, it was like you just vanished.", "Well, I was being trained to be your personal assistant these past few months so..."
A couple years have past, and Zuko was able to accomplish so much. With you by his side as not only his assistant but as a friend, he had found his footing. However, ever since he saw Mei again, his mind had been all over the place. That was until he heard the voice he always enjoyed to hear...
"Biscuits my lord?
"I thought you would never ask y/n."
"What's gotten your mind all messed up now? Civil problems, petty burglary?"
"Mei..."
"Ah, gotcha. Well spill away Fire Lord Zuko, these biscuits won't last forever."
"Wished they did. But ever since I..."
Hope you enjoyed this small little Zuko scenario, I forgot what i had planned for this so i just went with this! Hope it was okay<3
