Requested by anon: hello! i was wondering if you would write an imagine or ficlet for a male!reader x Zuko. i was thinking that Zuko is working for his Uncle Iroh in a tea shop in an town that is being controlled by Fire Nation, but almost all residents are Earth tribes. And the reader is an earth bender but has to hide it and Zuko grows and interest to the reader and wants to save the reader when he gets captured by fire nation because he’s an earth bender? i hope that makes sense! :)

Zuko x Male Earthbender Reader

You took a deep breath as you stopped at the corner and only once you knew you were safe. Being an earthbender in a Fire Nation controlled town wasn’t easy, especially not when you were constantly showcasing your skills.

When your accelerated heartbeat finally regained a normal pace, you continued walking, trying to pretend like nothing had happened and you hadn’t just escaped from the Fire Nation army. Finding a refuge from that stressful moment, you arrived to that familiar tea shop you frequented.

“Ah, my boy!” The owner, an older man named Mushi, gave you a warm welcome as always. “It’s good to see you again!”

“Thank you” You tried to hide your restlessness and exhaustion as you sat down.

“Get comfortable, we’ll be right back”

“Great”

As Mushi left, you exhaled another deep breath. Your racing heart had almost completely calmed, yet it picked up its quick pace at the sight of someone else. Lee, the young man who was also in charge of the tea shop, was heading your way.

“Y/N” He gave you a polite smile as he stopped by your table. “The usual?”

“Yeah” You thought for a moment, leaning back in an attempt to rest your tired muscles after so much bending and running. “And something to eat? I’m starving”

“Sure” Lee nodded his head at you. “It’ll be a moment”

You smiled back at him, watching him as he walked away.

He had always caught your attention, and it wasn’t the first time you thought about asking him to take a walk with you some time. You wanted to get to know him, to see him outside of the tea shop. It must have been the adrenaline still cursing through your veins, but for the first time you suddenly felt courageous enough to do it. Your fingers impatiently tapped on the table as you waited for him to return.

After one minute or so Lee came back, carrying your tea and a small plate with apetizing snacks. With the corner of your eye, you saw his uncle looking your direction with great curiosity and no subtlety at all.

“Here you go” No matter how moody you had seen him, Lee always seemed to be the nicest to you. He put your order on the table and smiled when you hungrily reached out to pick up a bread roll.

“Mmm...” You happily hummed, already feeling better when the warm food spread the delicious taste on your mouth.

“Is it good?” Lee asked, watching you closely and still smiling a little.

“Yes, and I bet so is the tea” To confirm it, you took a sip and nodded your head to assure him you hadn’t been wrong to believe it. “Give my compliments to the chef”

Much to your surprise, Lee laughed. You had never heard him laugh, and he seemed quite flustered by his small outburst as well. His cheeks tinted with pink.

“Hey, are you... doing something later?” You suddenly asked him before you could think too much about it.

“What? Uh...” He lowered his head, hiding behind the short tufts of dark hair that didn’t quite cover his eyes. He soon looked back up and shrugged, giving you a soft smile. “I don’t know, why are you asking?”

“Maybe we could take a walk later” Noticing how he watched you in shock, you tried to play it off a bit. “So... so you can tell me about Mushi’s recipes”

“I... heh...” He awkwardly scratched his nape, too bashful to hold your gaze. “Well, I... uh...”

“He would love to” Mushi was suddenly beside him, giving you the biggest smile you had seen him compose, which was saying a lot. “You boys have fun!”

“Uncle...” Lee muttered under his breath, hanging his head low. That didn’t help to cover the blush that reached his ears and his neck.

You exchanged a quick glance with Moshi, who eagerly nodded his head to give you his blessing. Giggling a little, you tugged at Lee’s wrist until he looked up at you again.

“Meet you here after lunch?”

“Really? I-I...” His uncle nudged him in the back, pushing him out of his stuttering. “Sure!”

You wouldn’t have expected the moment to be so awkward. You had spoken with Lee many times before, and conversation used to flow naturally, but now that you walked together, complete silence reigned. Was it because you were alone? Because you liked each other too much? Because you couldn’t let your voices lose themselves amongst the chattering of the tea shop?

“Um...” You took a good look at him as you rummaged through your head in search of something to say. “The weather is nice today”

You had to supress the urge to slap your forehead in embarassment. Talking about the weather? You really couldn’t think of anything else to say?

“Y-Yeah...” He hesitantly replied, gazing up into the sky. When he looked down again, he averted his eyes and twiddled his thumbs. “It’s warm”

Hoping to come up with a better thing to ask him, you stared at Lee. His scar was very noticeable, and although you were curious you didn’t want to bring attention to it. It surely was a reminder of a very painful and tragic past. Quite possibly, Lee and his uncle Mushi had escaped the Fire Nation after paying a big prize. Another family destroyed by them.

“How long have you been here for?” You asked instead, hoping that created more conversation.

“Uh... not long” Lee nervously answered. “We are refuges”

“I see” You smiled at him, being endeared when he smiled back. “Are you liking it here?”

“It’s kind of dull, but...” He took a deep breath before finishing his sentence. “It’s been better ever since you started coming to the tea shop”

You laughed a little, equal parts surprised and endeared. Lee blushed slightly, and you squeezed his arm fondly to reciprocate his kind words.

As you continued to walk the peaceful streets, something caught your eye. Lee’s voice faded in the background as he continued rambling, but you weren’t paying attention anymore.

Not far from you, a group of children were playing with a ball they tossed between them. They were laughing and running, but a couple of Fire Nation soldiers were far too close to them. Knowing their kind, you assumed only the smallest spark would be enough to send them into an explosive fiery rage.

“Y/N?” Lee asked when he noticed you weren’t listening.

You turned your head slightly, still watching the soldiers, and opened your mouth to reply. As you feared, though, the children’s ball flew out of their reach. Forgetting about replying to Lee, you headed their direction.

“What’s wrong?” Lee asked you just as the ball hit one of the soldiers in the head. Seeing this, your companion followed after you. “Oh, no...”

The soldiers were already shouting at the children, who clumsily apologized while the scary men faced them. You weren’t going to wait any longer, even if this was your second encounter of the day. Throwing all caution out the window, you extended your hands towards them. The earth under their feet shifted, elevating them as your arms rose and dropping at your command, sending them to the ground with a violent thud.

“What the...?” One of them exclaimed, searching his surroundings.

The other one soon spotted you, pointing a finger at you as he rushed to his feet.

“He is an earthbender!” He announced to his partner, and the both of them hurried your way. You stood your ground.

“Run!” Lee yelled, reminding you of his presence after his awed moment of quietness. “Move, Y/N!”

Seeing that you were determined to face the soldiers, he took you by the wrist and tugged at it until you were following after him. The two of you ran as fast as you could, trying to lose them.

They were on your tail, however, and refused to give up. Trying not to fall or slow down, you used your bending to throw boulders at them and try to hinder their advance. It wasn’t working, as they retaliated with their fire.

One of their attacks was suddenly directed at you, making you gasp.

“Watch out!” Lee pushed you out of harm’s way, with so much force that you fell to the floor. You instantly tried to stand to your feet, but before you coud move something froze you in place.

Your companion was throwing fire against them. That awkward but sweet boy from the tea shop was from the Fire Nation. Your hands turned into fists as you watched how he successfully held them back and made them retreat.

Gawking at him, you let him pull at your arm until you stood once more.

“Get up” Lee said, although that probably wasn’t his real name. “We need to keep moving!”

He didn’t let go of you as you took advantage of their moment of hesitance to escape. You ran in silence for what felt like hours. The sound of your feet against the ground, your racing heart and breathless panting made your ears whistle. Somehow, though, your thoughts were louder than any of that.

He was a firebender. His uncle probably was as well. He had been lying to you.

Just as you dwelled on those discoveries, he carefully pushed you against a wall and took refuge there with you. Hidden in a lonely alley, the soldiers ran right past you. You barely noticed this. Your mind worked faster than it ever had as he set his amber eyes on you. Ready to confront him, you opened your mouth.

“I know what you’re gonna say” He quickly said. “I am a firebender. I’m sorry I lied to you”

“Why did you?” Your voice came out weaker than you wanted it to be.

“We are refugees, that part is true. We’re hiding from the Fire Nation...” He took a deep breath, breaking the eye contact. “My name is Zuko. Now you know who I am”

“Prince Zuko?” The pieces clicked in your head as you realized he was saying the truth. The scar, his uncle, how secretive they were about their past... It all made sense now.

That changed everything, however. He wasn’t just an escaped firebender, he was the banished prince. And he seemed to truly care about you to some capacity.

“You... put your secret at risk just to save me...” You found yourself saying, earning a cautious look from him. “Why did you help me?”

“I know what it’s like being rejected by what you are... by who you are” He absently looked at his hands, weapons just like yours. Then he shrugged a little. “Besides, I like you... you’re nice”

You paused for a moment, realizing that his secret wasn’t bothering you as much as you thought. Not anymore.

“Lee?” When he opened his mouth to correct you, remind you that his name was Zuko, you shook your head and smiled at him. You had accepted him as Lee, not as the person everyone else saw and rejected him as.

“Yes?” He whispered, even if a hint of a smile grew on his lips as well, touched by your response.

“I’ll keep your secret if you keep mine” You held your hand out for him to take.

Zuko... Lee stared at it for a moment. Then he sighed in relief, and as his smile grew bigger, he nodded his head.

“Deal” You shook hands in mutual understanding, the gesture implying many thank yous and a secret expression of your fondness for each other. Especially so when you two lingered a little bit in the touch.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 - Tickling Drabbles (Part 5)

Luigi/Chambrea + Goobs: Feather Duster Just go in, get the suitcase, and out. Simple, right? Well, of course it is easy- ...for the old professor, that is. All he had to do was sit back, relax, and watch a certain terrified green plumber do the job for him, who was cautiously making his way through the 5th floor- the RIP Suites, to be exact. "Luigi, what's taking you so long? Go to my room and get my briefcase!" The timid ghost hunter did his best to carry out said quest, he really did. However, having only the description 'The briefcase has to be in one of the rooms. I sadly do not remember the number of my supposed sleeping quarters anymore, but I'm optimistic that you will surely find it.' wasn't making things any less difficult, per se. In fact, not only having to trial-and-error through various guest rooms but also having to do all of this while the place is being haunted on top of that is a whole other task on its own. Nonetheless, the reserved plumber, who's method of walking was actually tiptoeing around as quietly as possibly, decided to pick up the pace, finally reaching the last room at the end of the hall. "This must be my destination, then. Just go in, get the briefcase, then out." It was a reasonable thought on the behalf of the ghost hunter, right? Right, follow the plan, and everything should be alrigh- ...humming? Why in the name of everything holy was there humming? After all, nobody but Luigi would have had a good motive to be in this exact area at this exact time... Well, that would be true, if it wasn't for one crucial detail that the plumber's brain had so carelessly forgotten. The maid. Walking into the entrance of the beautiful and glorious Last Resort, the green plumber recalled catching a glimpse of a staff person cleaning the upper floor with a feather duster. Seeing the type of clothing she wore, it surely had to be a maid, no doubt. That very maid in question was now currently carrying out her duty by dusting off the tables, being completely unaware of the other presence that was standing behind her at the moment, frozen in shock. Okay, she hasn't noticed you, yet. Perhaps sneaking up to the suitcase and quickly taking off with it will work- But alas, as quickly as the scared and unconfrontational plumber came up with that idea, as swiftly it was being sent into the void again, considering the fact that the eyes of the staff worker seemed to have caught a certain kind of interest towards the square object. Picking it up, the ghostly maid appeared to be enticed by the desired briefcase, just like a bird would be when they see something shiny. This wasn't good at all. Luigi knew this would turn out to be a huge problem if he didn't take any action now, so he instinctively tried to convey to her that this very suitcase didn't belong to her by repeatedly verbalizing the word 'No!' over and over again and making frantic hand gestures. However, in the heat of the situation, there was another completely and utterly critical point that the poor boy had oh-so neclegted. He was a ghost hunter and that person standing- or rather, floating - in front of him was a ghost. To say that both participants in the room got their fair share of yells of terror out of them was and understatement. Clutching the object that was the reason for all this commotion in the first place, the maid inched away from the plumber, panic replacing her once calm facial features. Right as the frightened hero was about to grab at his trusted weapon that was being carried on his back, he was suddenly greeted by stinging pain at the back of his head and the cold, hard floor. "...Ugh, what the..." It took some moments for Luigi to regain his conciousness, but when he did, the first thing that came to notice was how he couldn't move his arms anymore and that the familiar pressure on his back had vanished into thin air. "Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey." Why was there a voice materializing itself from his right side? Forget that, why is there a blue hue emitting from both of the plumber's sides? Scratch that, again. Why was the ghost hunter being detained by two ghosts?! Actually, come to think of it, the loud screams of panic must have alerted some spectras around the area, who were probably just minding their own business. Just great... "Please, hold him down tight. There is something that I want to do." Oh how the poor and frightened plumber wished he could just abort the mission and disappear into nothingness, trying his best to tug at the captor's grips, however his efforts turning out to be useless, only receiving sinister chuckles from both of his sides. "Ah, ah, ah~ You're going nowhere." "Exactly! You will stay here and endure your punishment.~" Punishment?! Overhearing that certain term being mentioned caused the dreading and tense feeling in the gut of the petrified ghost hunter to increase, his uneasy heart beating at a rapidly pace all the while his futile attempts at trying to fend of the hands of the mischievous ghostly hands, who were currently busy unbuttoning his overalls and rolling up his shirt to expose his soft and squishy stomach, were being futile. A sudden grip holding up the squirming boy's chin is what him made him seize his movements instantly, more or less forcing him to stare into the eyes of the owner of said hand. "My, my, you look like you are about to have a heart attack! Well, that would be a tragedy now, wouldn't it? No visitor of this hotel should endure such fate. Here, i know a way to calm down your nerves a little bit." Luigi tightly closed his eyes, preparing himself to be met with with everything his mind could come up in the moment - only to be abruptly caught off guard by a featherly sensation brushing up against his exposed belly, causing the plumber to let out a high pitched yelp against his will. Please, not this again. Not what happened after the bellhop. The twitching ghost hunter pulled at his restrains the best he could, but to no avail, and immediatly chose to focus his concentration on not letting any laughter escape his lips that was currently bubbling inside of him. "Aw, come on, dearie. Kepping everything bottled inside of you isn't good for you. I know you want to laugh by that smile of yours~." She was right. Some small giggles were already fleeing his mouth, but the green plumber was determined to not give the maid the benefit of satisfaction, fighting the persistent urge with all his might, boots weakly pounding against the ground, all the while the feathers from the feather duster were dancing across his stomach. "You heard the lady. Don't be so stubborn now!~" "WhahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA-?!" Even with all the strength he mustered up, the sudden ghostly tail being drilled into his armpit is what finally caused the poor boy to break, catching him off guard and flying him into a fit of high pitched cackling that couldn't be stopped anymore. "There we go. Wasn't so hard, now was it?" "STOHOHOHOHAHAHA-HAHAHAHA-HAHAHAHP!!!" "Stop now? But we've only just begun, silly!" A faint blush was sprawled across the plumber's face, the tickling sensation overcoming his body and hands being balled into fists. The only thing that Luigi could do now was pray and hope that anybody would come and rescue him from the clutches of these playful spectras. "PLEAHAHAHA-HEHEHE-HAHAHASEHEHE L-LEHEHEHET MEHEHEHE HAHAHAHA G-GOHOHOHAHAHAHA!!!!" "Oh no, dearie, I don't think you understand. We have to get all the stress that is residing within you out of you. This is a hotel, after all." "NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!" "Look at how red he has gotten!" "Yeah, just like a tomato, A squirmy tomato, that is~." "EHEHEHEHEHEHEHE-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" For some reason, the teasy hint in their voices being hissed into his ears made Luigi burst out more into high pitched laughter followed by the occasional snort and wheeze, tears having formed in his eyes and rolling down his red tinted face. "S-S-STAHAHAHAHAHA-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!!" "No way in heaven we would do that! After all, a cute guest like you should only receive the best of customer service~." "WHAHAHAHAHA-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA?!!!" To make matters worse, the word 'cute' being dropped so casually but also teasingly is what really got to the embarrased plumber, making him go into hysterics, his whole body twitching and trembling. How his vessel of his didn't turn into a mushy puddle somehow right on the spot is beyond the ghost hunter's understanding. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE N-NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!" "Do you think we should stop?" "Nah, to me it looks like he's enjoying himself too much right now. It would be kind of rude of us to come to a halt right now out of the blue, now wouldn't it?~" "Eh, now that I think about it... you're right.~" After a while, the task of getting out any coherent sentences was getting increasingly difficult, the constant feathers dragging up and down his stomach and tail wriggling in his armpit making this rather quite impossible to do so. To add onto it, the ghost on the left side, who had been absentmindedly observing everything unfolding right in front of them, finally decided to join in on the fun by spidering and scratching their fingers along Luigi's quivering side and ribs. "P-PLEHEHEHEHEHEHE-HAHAHAHAHAHA-HAHAHAHASEHEHEHEH NOHOHOHOHOHOHOT T-THIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHAHAHAHAHA-!!!!" "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that. Could you please repeat that again~?" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!!" The overflow of oxygen that the ghost hunter was forced to take was starting to make his head feel more lightheaded with each passing second, reducing his ongoing trashing and writhing of his body to weak struggling and flailing. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA W-W-WHAHAHAhahahahahahahahihihihihihhihihihihihihihihihihihihit-" The last thing the blushy mess of a plumber could recall before he passed out was his cloudy vision being blurred by the tears in his eyes and him dropping down to his knees... -------- "...uig..." "...uigi..." "Luigi!" Hearing the voice of the scientist, Luigi immediatly jolted up from his lying position, his palms meeting a soft surface. He was currently lying in a guest bed, a blanket being neatly tucked over him. Putting his confused thoughts aside for a moment, the drowsy ghost hunter went on to shakingly grab his VB, still being worn out from the incident that has occured beforehand. "Luigi, my boy, you're finally up! I thought the ghosts have somehow managed to transport your soul into another realm by the looks of it!" "No, don't-a-worry. I'm still here and-a-alive." "Good, you better should be. After all, if you were gone, who would return my precious briefcase then?" Ah, wait! That darn briefcase! "Yeah, yeah. Just gimme-a-few seconds, so I can-a-recompose myself again." Turning off the device in his hands, Luigi rubbed his eyes and gave out a sigh. Just get in, get the briefcase, then out... and hopefully not be demolished by a bunch of spectras along the way. Well, at least they were kind enough to give the green plumber a comfortable resting placing instead of letting him lie on the hard floor.
