Lee from the tea shop- an atla oneshot(maybe?)
The gaang walked out of the Jasmine dragon with smiles on their faces. They didn't have any meetings or meet and greets to go to today, so their formal attire was traided for simple clothes, like the ones they wore when they fought the fire nation together. Zuko had his hair pulled back into a simple pony tail as he held hands with Sokka. It was peaceful. Until a tiny body barreled into Zuko, knocking him back into the path. The rest of the gaang got ready for a fight, but Zuko laughed.
"Kai?!" The small figure looked up and beamed at the fire lord. It was a young man their age, but he was short and had choppy brown hair.
"Lee! I knew it was you! Guys, you can come out know! I told you it was Lee!" The rest of his friends looked confused as the short man- Kai- helped Zuko off the ground. A young man and a young woman stepped around the corner. They were all in greens, laughing as they pulled the fire lord into a bone crushing group hug.
"Agni save me! I don't need two friend groups who love touching me! Let go guys!" He struggled and finally jerked himself out of the grip. He stumbled and grabbed onto Zuko and Toph to balance himself.
"You're in big trouble Lee! Why didn't you tell us you were the crown prince of the fire nation?!" The woman punched his shoulder while giving him a playful glare.
"Ow, do you have to hit so hard? If the Dai Li had over heard me telling you guys, I would have been arrested on the spot. You know that." The tallest of the group reached out and forced Zuko into another bone crushing hug. He was genuinely sobbing, snot running down his face as he cried.
"My baby's the fire lord! My little Lee is ruling a whole nation of spark makers! I'm so proud of you!"
"Nalin! I can't breathe!" Zuko once again struggled out of his grip.
"It is kind of a bummer. You made the best tea in the Earth Kingdom! No, In the world! Now we wont get that tea!" He laughed at the woman.
"Jin, I still work at the tea shop sometimes." Those words just made the taller man sob louder and babble about...something. Kai snickered.
"How much you wanna bet you're still a big baby when it comes to my noogies?" Zuko crossed his arms and looked down.
"You should be careful. I dont think someone of your size should be threatening anyone taller than a five year old." Zuko smirked as Kai kicked his shin.
"How about you come down here and I'll show you a threat?"
"No, I think I'm good up here thanks."
"Hey babe? Do you want to introduce us to your friends?" Sokka looked confused as he wrapped his arm around Zuko.
"Oh right! Guys this is Nalin, Jin, and Kai. We were neighbors when I lived here. Guys, this is my fiance Sokka, his sister Katara, Toph, and Aang."
"Fiance?!" They gaang watched as Nalin's lip trembled. Jin clamped her hand over his mouth.
"Alright pal, we get it. You're proud of your son. Enough with the water works alright?" Toph crossed her arms.
"How were you three able to get so close to him?" She had a confused scowl on her face. Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Can I pick a fight with herm. She's shorter than me!"
"Be my guest. She'll beat you then I wont have to hear you."
"I went on a date with Lee and he gave me a coupon for a free cup of tea."
"He helped me take care of my little sister when she was sick by making her tea and soup."
"I broke into his room by accident and got one of his dao swords pointed at my throat." The gaang looked mildy horrified as Kai shrugged.
"Wait, why Lee?" Katara asked.
"Yeah, Lee is such a common name. And you're...uniquely essentric." Aang said with a lopsided grin.
"Exactly Lee is such a common name. It makes it easy to blend in when you have to specify which Lee."
"And Lee from the tea shop is the most popular Lee."
"And LEEast to us!" Zuko groaned as Sokka burst out laughing.
"Nalin stop! It wasnt funny then and it isnt funny now! Oh agni you've killed my future husband!" That's when the rest of the gaang started laughing. Zuko snickered and laughed with them. He may not see these guys oftain, but he still cared about them.
