"Katara I'm in a rut," Olivia whined as she walked in on her and Aang together as Katara was tutoring him.

"Oh Olivia I-can I talk to you later I'm helping aang," Katara motioned to her friend as aang was confused.

"No it's an emergency!" She whined sitting with them and putting her head on the table.

"We can take a break Katara, what's wrong Olivia?" Aang smiled softly at her as the blond had a pouty lip.

"There's this really cute boy that I like, I don't know how to get his attention," she sighed sadly as Katara looked concerned.

"What is he like?" Katara asked.

"He's so hot, like stupidly sexy, and exotic, and dark and he just seems like such a gentleman at the same time," she covered her face dramatically as her face burned red.

"But he won't talk to me, I want to stand out to him and have him really think I'm cute," Olivia sighed sadly.

"Have you tried putting yourself out there for him?" Aang offered.

"Kind of, should I try more touching like his arm and all that?" Olivia asked with wide eyes.

"Don't be someone your not for a guy, that's how it is with my boyfriend, we were close friends and then we both got feelings for each other, he loves me for me, don't change yourself, if he likes you it should be for You," Katara put her hand on Olivias hand comfortingly and the blond smiled hopeful.

"Really? That's so sweet, I think we would be like that opposites attract thing, he's just so mysterious," Olivia squealed excited.

"Yea maybe, just take it easy on the guy," Katara nodded happily but her and Aang got texts from the group chat.

"He got away?!" Katara cried out.

"Sokka said he's heading to the back, go before he goes!" Aang slammed the book shut as Katara booked out of the study hall.

She ran and saw Zuko walking out the door to go back to his apartment to go to his uncle. Zuko heard footsteps coming up behind him but screamed in fear when Katara hopped on his back with a battle cry when they fell on the ground.

"One day susano! One day not even!" Katara sat on his back as Zuko laid on his stomach.

"I'm not doing anything!" Zuko yelled back.

"Gimme your keys mister," Katara straddled his back and pinned his shoulders down.

"I don't have to give You shit!" He defended.

"Give them to me!" She yelled back. A moment later he dug in his pocket and held his keys up with a sigh.

"Damn right, that's what I thought kid," Katara got up and stuffed his apartment and motorcycle keys in her pocket.

"Why are you trying to go home again?" She squatted down to him as Zuko stayed laying down.

"Uncle hasn't said anything in two hours," Zuko mumbled but she helped him up to his feet.

"He's okay, give him a call, we'll stop and get something yummy at the store before you go home, and tell iroh about the full day of school," Katara smiled up at him knowing Zuko was nervous about leaving his uncle alone.

"Just one day please, your going to make it," she cocked her head to the side as Zuko held her hands gently.

"Fine, but you owe me a donut," Zuko sighed and she smiled wrapping her hands around his arms to drag him from the door.

"Oh hey Zuko!" Olivia turned the corner and waved happily.

"Olivia," his eye twitched.

"Oh yay you introduced yourself," Katara smiled thinking he was opening up.

"Unwillingly," Zuko crossed his arms with a stressful sigh.

"Are you guys friends?" Olivia asked as Aang walked over to them with the books.

"Yea were all friends and with Kataras brother and suki," Aang nodded smiling brightly.

"Aw it's like you all have your own thing," Olivia cooed.

"Do you want to join us at lunch?" Katara offered and Zuko looked at her mortified.

"I'd love too!" She clapped.

"I really appreciate how nice you all are," Olivia touched zukos arm a little and his eyes widen.

"Kat, I want my keys," Zuko whispered.

"No you promised, I'm getting you a donut," Katara whined a little.

—

Olivia sat right against Zuko as they ate outside with their lunches, Sokka raised a brow at the blond against the boy but no one else noticed her flirts with Zuko except the two.

"Katara are you going back with Zuko to his uncles?" Sokka asked as Katara was sipping her water.

"Yea I'll probably stick around if they aren't to annoyed with me," Katara agreed knowing Sokka would've driven her home otherwise.

"I actually probably will be working when I get home, uncle loves talking to you so you can hang upstairs," Zuko looked at her softly.

"Aw what happened to your parents?" Olivia asked bluntly and everyone was silent. They knew about Ozai, what he's done and his mother's death.

"What? If you live with your uncle then I'm guessing something happened?" She noticed no one was answering.

"Like I stayed with my aunt for a weekend because my parents were mad at each other but I'm so glad it was only for a weekend I don't know what I would do if my parents split or I lost one, I think I would just die if that happened," she pouted a little clasping her hands together dramatically.

"I'm just lucky I guess to be with my parents," Olivia put her hands in her lap leaning against Zuko.

Sokka and Katara made a face of confusion remembering their mother, and that their father was gone usually.

Suki raised a brow at the audacity of this girl when her mom walked out on her and her dad works all night.

Zuko sat in silence.

Aang scooted away awkwardly thinking about how he's never had parents.

"Yea lucky you to have loving parents," Toph scoffed. Suki covered her mouth to hide a laugh as Zuko pursed his lips hiding his own little smile.

"So lucky to have parents that support and love you," Zuko choked on a laugh as he covered his mouth.

"Or parents that get along," Suki coughed to cover up a short.

"Or both parents," Aang smiled a little as Sokka turned around with his shoulders shaking from a silent laugh.

"Stop it," Katara bit back her smile to not encourage them.

"But I have more," Zuko smiled with his eyes closed knowing if he looked at any of them he'd lose it.

"I'm just saying, it's not common someone is an orphan now a days to live with their uncle," she shrugged sipping her juice not getting the joke.

everyone burst out laughing immediately losing.

"What?" She asked confused.

"I live with my uncle because my parents don't have a part in my life, it's simple," Zuko shrugged her off and scooted away a little as everyone was still laughing.

"I love going to your uncles, I wish I knew how nice he was before you left," Suki giggled and Zuko smiled a little.

He never would've guessed two of the people that use to hate him would actually be kind to him... would want to be around him, especially Suki, she use to despise him and now...

He was happy seeing things were better in his life.

Katara looked at her boyfriend gently seeing the joy in his eyes, how comfortable he was around them.

"Maybe we'll stop by later at the shop, but uh I'm not drinking whatver you make," Sokka smirked at him.

"It was on accident that i gave you the wrong tea, but it was fine still!" Zuko groaned but felt fingers touch his hand and looked at Olivia.

"Oh where do you work?" Olivia asked smiling sweetly as their hands touched.

"I just work for my uncle, he broke his leg so I don't have time to hang out," Zuko pulled his legs to his chest and his hands on his knees.

"Oh you are so sweet Zuzu," she hummed tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Don't call me that," he said flatly. "And stop touching me, I don't like being touched,"

"But Katara always has her hands on you," Toph teased being the only one hearing them while everyone else was having a different conversation.

"That's different," Zuko mumbled.

"Do you not like me?" Olivia asked worried.

"No?" He scrunched up his nose.

Zukos eyes widen as she had tears weld up in her eyes as she got up from the grass and walked away.

"What did you say?" Katara notice her leaving.

"That I don't like her, she's fucking annoying," Zuko scoffed.

"Go apologize," Katara said softly. He didn't move but she touched his leg a little and they looked at each other. She smirked a little and he blushed softly when he didn't stop her.

"Fine but find me if it takes to long," he gave in and went to find Olivia.
