Purple Strawberries | Zuko x Fem!Reader

SUMMARY: Three times Zuko says Y/N isn’t his girlfriend, and one time he doesn’t.

REQUEST (by @elia-the-bibliophile​): “hi there! can I request a Zuko x reader fluff where the best of them are the best of friends and they were just strolling around the fire nation capital market, but someone complimented them on what a handsome couple they make, and then another people ask “Is that your girlfriend? bla bla bla” and so on? thank you!”

WORD COUNT: 3.9k

WARNINGS: I was doing well on not cursing but then I failed. the editing is sloppy at best. there’s a lot of mutual pining. a bit of angst, not much. and jealous!zuko (we stan).

OBSERVATIONS: uhhh you’re gonna see that I really,,, changed the concept lmao!! i hope you don’t mind!! it’s just, i saw the opportunity of making this differently and i took it!! and i actually really like it!! so i hope you like it too!!

anyway, thank you for reading and i hope you like it!! and remember feedback is always appreciated!! here we go

“Zuko, look! They have purple strawberries! That’s crazy!”

The firebender smiled fondly at his best friend while she fussed over the curious berries, babbling with a nice merchant about the science of hybrid produce or something like that. It had been her idea to visit the capital market of the Fire Nation, arguing that the soon-to-be Fire Lord could take a break from his coronation worries and just spend time as a regular person for once. Zuko had a billion things to do and couldn’t waste a second on trivial matters like taking a walk through the market or talking about purple strawberries, yet—

He could never say no to her, regardless of how much it was needed.

‘Impromptu Parents’- Zuko x female!reader

Masterlist <3

An: HIYA!  Sorry this took WAY too long, I had no motivation or time :( THANK YOU FOR THE REQUEST THOUGH!!!

Summary:

Whilst walking around the market with your husband, you stumble upon a child that’s all alone. Not having the heart to leave them there, you decide to bring them along with you until their parents are found. 

Ps. (C/n) is child’s name! I decided to make the child a girl, hope that’s okay!

Warnings: kids…?

Your steps fell in sync with Zuko’s, soft noises emerging from the carpeted grounds against your shoes. The fiery shades of red from the palace walls and floors surrounded you, as you made your way to the markets outside. Being the firelord’s lonely day off for the first time in a while, you were determined to make it enjoyable and relaxing. His coarse hands were firm against yours, bodies close together despite the massive corridor you two were traversing. 

“What do you think we’re having for lunch?” He asked passively, thinking with his stomach.

 “Mmm. Maybe fire noodles. I’ve been craving those for forever.”

“They don’t serve that here though?‘

“Who said we’re eating at the palace today?”

“Outside?” he said, shocked.

“YES!? Your one day off I’m not spending it in the same place you work?”

“That’s… actually a fair point. Fire noodles it is.”

“Good.”

“Good.” he repeated, mocking you slightly.

You pushed him slightly to the side, making him laugh before pushing you too, you pushed him again, a little harder so he’d lose his balance. He yelped as he fell, before laughing even harder, “You little,”

“Gotta split!” You sprinted to the nearby doors.

Zuko was closer than you thought, immediately tackling you to the ground, pinning you under him. You both erupted into laughter, bodies tangled and positions rather explicit. The guards tried not to look, seemingly undisturbed, but actually struggling not to break character. Unfortunately for you two, you hadn’t actually seen the dozens of men standing at the doorway. Zuko leaned down and pecked your lips, still laughing.

“Sir.” One of them choked out.

You immediately snapped back to reality, teleporting to your feet, much like Zuko. 

“Uh, yeah. We’ll be um, leaving now.” he stood regally, ignoring the heat devouring his face.

They moved apart, swords clanging as they separated, allowing you and your husband to pass. As you passed them, tense and embarrassed, you side eyed Zuko, who was stiff and red in the face. 

“We’re idiots.”

“Who’s we? Just you!” you replied.

“Me?” he exclaimed, “I’ll have you know I’m pretty smart.”

“Mm.”  You pretended to think, “I don’t know about smart, but definitely pretty”

He looked away from you rapidly, ear tinting pink, bashfulness making you laugh. You two happily walked to the markets nearby, brushing fingers against the plants. Zuko seemed more relaxed, shoulders light, posture straight and happy, and definitely laughing more often. It was obvious you were the reason - the whole palace knew! He would visibly relax seeing you, and passively smile at the mention of your name, truly, it made the staff realise how different he was from his father.

Before you knew it, you were in the middle of a bunch of vendors, most did not even recognize you and Zuko, which was a relief. You started by heading to the fruit stalls, purchasing a variety of delicious goods, and then to the souvenir stall, securing a few bits and bobs to make the palace seem a little more homely. You two were making conversation when you were abruptly cut off.

“Get it if you want it, it’s ni-” Zuko was startled when a small figure pushed past him.

The child tugged on your pants/skirt (you choose), sniffling.

“Ma’am,”

You looked to the source, a young girl, maybe 6 or 7, stood, eyes wide and fingers shaky.

“I can’t find my mommy,” you bent down to her level, pushing back the hair from her face.

“Where did you see her last, sweetheart?”

She shrugged, “She was in the shops, I don’t know which.” a tear slipped from her eyes, and she quickly tried to wipe it.

“Well, do you wanna come with us, to look for your mom?”

“Yes please,” she opened her arms wide, for you to pick her up, and that you did.

She fit snug into your arms, head tiredly resting on your shoulder.

“What’s your name sweetie?”

“C/n. And you?”

“I’m Y/n, and this is my husband, Zuko.”

C/n leaned back from your arms, turning around to see Zuko, “Your name is like the firelord.” she deadpanned.

“Yeah, it is,”

You struggled not to laugh, your husband trying to conceal his identity.

“Let’s start over there, shall we?” you pointed at a small corner shop.

“Okay,” she said quietly.

As you walked, you tried to make small talk, the child becoming more comfortable in your arms.

“So, you know the firelord?”

“Yeah. He’s like the principal of the school, but like for the whole entire country!” she giggled, making a large gesture with her hands.

“That’s a funny way of putting it,” Zuko said, chuckling.

“Do you think he’s a nice guy?”

You were secretly hoping she’d say no, that would be hilarious.

Instead, she shrugged, “I haven’t met him. My mommy says he’s just a baby though. But I think he’s really old!” Zuko gasped, eyes widened, and mouth contorted into a smile.

“A baby huh? How old do you think he is?” 

“Maybe 34.” she giggled at your wide smile, hiding her face in your tunic.

“He’s much younger than 34 I’ll have you know.” the guy in question huffed.

The decor sung once you walked in as the door triggered it. There was no one in the shop other than you guys, so you opted to move on. And this pattern repeated, the mother and father were nowhere to be found. At this point the sun began to set.

C/n was beginning to get sleepy, a yawn exiting her mouth. 

“Do you have any fire chips?” she asked, eyes sparkling.

“No um, are you hungry?” she nodded.

“I say we get something to eat, and then see what to do.” Zuko’s stomach growled.

“Agreed.”

“Fire noodles?”

“Duh!”

The lights of the tacky noodle place illuminated your face, a gentle smile gracing your partner’s face as he interlocked your free hand with his. Shortly after entering, you sat down at a booth, and ordered some food - making sure to include something non spicy for C/n.

“So what’re we gonna do?” he asked, looking at the kid, who was fiddling with the hem of her dress.

“I say, we take her home with us, and tomorrow morning we can call the town to do a morning announcement thing, and ask about who’s kid this is.”

“Sounds good, I guess.”

“Is that okay with you, C/n?” You asked her.

“Yes. Thank you ma’am and sir.”

“You can just call us Y/n and Zuko, you know?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, of course!”

“Okay, Y/n,” she giggled, and you grinned.

The food arrived not too long after, and you all dug in. C/n stuffed her face with the food, finishing it in what could probably be record time, then wiping her face with the napkin. You looked at her, a furrow in your brows.

“Hon, were you that hungry?”

“A little.” she said, sheepishly.

“You should’ve mentioned that,” Zuko said, calling over the waiter.

You ordered another bowl of the ramen for her, before continuing your meal. A few minutes later, you slurped the last noodle, and asked for the check. It was rather cheap, 5 gold coins. Your husband smiled, pulling the receipt to himself and grabbing his wallet.

“What a gentleman.” you sighed, looking at him dreamily, a mocking undertone. I mean, it’s almost like he’s the firelord or something.

He laughed, placing that and a few more into the small book, before shutting it.

“Hey wait! Zuko open it!” he furrowed his brows, C/n holding a fist up in his direction.

He did as she asked, and she dropped a coin into the check, grinning at her actions.

“My mommy always says tip.” 

“We did C/n, you should keep your money to buy yourself something nice.”

She shook her head, sinking back into her chair. He shrugged, closing the check and passing it to the waiter, along with saying thank you of course. You gathered your belongings and left the establishment, the little girl choosing to hold your hand.

“The way home is long, will you be able to walk all that way?”

“Yes! I’m a big girl!” she puffed her chest.

“If you say so,” he smiled.

THough, the walk home was long. You had strayed far from the palace, although you didn’t mind. Walking with Zuko was always peaceful. The fire lit lanterns casted a orangey-yellow hue on the world, streets quiet and barren as people retired to their homes for the night. To add a cherry on top to the perfect night, your lover took you to a fountain, lights illuminating the waters. You sat on the edge of the water structure, hands interlocked with Zuko’s, while C/n watched the pretty reflections in the water, occasionally dipping her hand in for a splash. You looked at her, and once sure she was occupied, you leaned in to kiss your husband. It was sweet and short, an ‘i missed you’ type of kiss - and he understood that perfectly. He rested his forehead against yours, licking his lips sweetly, a grin lighting his face. Your hand pushed a stray lock of ravne hair from his face - a futile attempt as it fell back onto his eyes.

“You make a pretty good dad,”

“You think?”

Just as you were leaning in again, you heard footsteps. Immediately separating, you got up and checked on C/n, who was ever so occupied, then your eyes flashed to the source. An exhausted woman, much older than you, walked, another fellow by her side, with equally tired eyes. Looking over at the child, you saw a switch flipped in your head. Their eyes were similar, and her nose was practically a copy of the dad’s.

“Sweetie,” you pat her shoulder, “Do you know these guys?”

She turned her head, and her eyes widened, tears welling up, “THAT'S MY MOMMY!”

The older couple turned to you guys, before noticing the child, “C/N!” They ran up to her. She flew into her mom’s arms, sobbing and clutching her tightly. The lady tried not to cry, soothing her child as best as she could. A contrast to the dad, who had completely broken down, resting his head on his daughter’s shoulder as he cried. You and Zuko stood awkwardly, not knowing exactly what to do in this situation.

The mother couldn’t stop hugging her baby, sloppily kissing her face.

“You scared us! Where were you?!” She questioned, tears streaming endlessly down her face.

“I-I was with Zuko and Y/n at the markets!” C/n could barely say, breathes laboured.

“Zuko and Y/n… Zuko and Y/n?” The dad asked, furrowing his brows.

“Yeah his name is like the firelord.” 

The couple turned to you, mouths agape. You offered a smile, Zuko awkwardly rubbing his neck, “Hi.”

They immediately set their daughter down, both bowing, and signalling for her to do the same.

“Why?”

“Honey, they’re the firelord and lady.” the mom said through gritted teeth.

C/n’s eyes widened, and she looked over at you, shock evident on her small features.

“Surprise?” you shrugged.

The little girl almost passed out, immediately going to bow.

“Oh no no! You don’t have to do that!” Zuko said, making wild motions with his hand.

“Please, you can get up,” the parents listened, going back to their feet.

“We will forever be in debt to you, your highness,”

Zuko smiled, and you replied, “Oh please, C/n was an angel today,”

The girl held her mother’s arm, staring at you two sheepishly. 

“Thank you,” the dad added, before moving to leave.

They bowed once again before leaving, and you turned to do the same. You got half way down the path, when you heard, “C/N!”

And then, “Hey! Wait up!” you paused and turned, immediately getting pushed over by the little girl, Zuko just about being able to push you back up to your feet. You held her in the hug, looking at her parents who seemed very embarrassed.

“I’ll miss you…”

“I’ll miss you too, C/n.”

She stepped back, then grinned at Zuko, “I’ll miss you too.” She hugged his leg, and he picked her up for a proper hug. 

She leaned back from his chest, “You should come to my house! I’ll show you all of my toys!”

“Maybe some other day,” he said, smiling.

“Yeah, it’s past Zuko’s bed time.” you pinched his cheek, and he flushed red, looking at you with wide eyes.

“Do you have a bedtime?” C/n laughed at him.

Your husband narrowed his eyes at you, tilting his head sideways quickly, worlessly telling you ‘just wait and see’.

He let her down after that, and she ran to her parents, waving goodbye on the way.

Zuko’s hand was on the small of your back as you walked home, “Bedtime? Really? That was low.”

You pouted mockingly, “Don’t worry, I’ll tuck you in.” you squished his face.

Zuko pinched your side in response, a laugh exiting you from the sudden, and very ticklish, contact.

And finally, it felt like you two spent a day together, not as rulers (or principal's) of a country, but as Zuko and Y/n. A girl who loves to mock her husband, and her husband who’s name is suspiciously like that of the firelord.
