Iroh stood frozen in his tracks. He had been wandering aimlessly throughout the department store. Zuko had brought him along to Thanksgiving at Hakoda’s, which apparently included going with the family to the Black Friday sales the following morning. To further prove he supported their relationship, he went along without complaint. His wandering had brought him to the women’s sleepwear section and he saw them.
They were absolutely perfect. In many ways, Iroh was in the prime of his life, but even he could not deny that it would be wholly inappropriate for a man of his age to give sexy sleepwear to a young lady, one he was not involved with anyway. But the pink satin short set decorated with skulls wearing pink bows that was currently confronting him was clearly tailor made for Mai.
Seeing the obvious solution to his predicament, Iroh snapped a picture with his phone of the satiny night clothes and send it to Zuko with the word “Mai.”
His phone immediately rang. Considering it was his nephew on the caller ID and it was so soon after he had sent the text, Iroh was not sure if he wanted to answer it. There would undoubtedly be yelling. “Zuko, I…” Iroh started cheerfully.
“What is wrong with you, you… you dirty old man?! Wasn’t scaring me for life with those girls in the hot tub bad enough?!” Zuko screeched over the phone.
“Calm down, Nephew. You were not supposed to be home yet and I am merely trying to help you find a Christmas present for Mai. I know you were having trouble deciding.”
“Why would I get something like that for Mai?!” Zuko sounded rather horrified.
“Because it would be perfect for her and they look rather comfortable. They also seem to be in her size.”
“How do you know her size?!”
Iroh was fairly certain Zuko was about to have an aneurysm. He silently wished his nephew would be more observant. “I am merely guessing.”
“What exactly about my relationship with Mai makes you think I would ever buy her something like that?”
“She has a key to your apartment, eats your food, steals your clothes, sleeps in your bed, has packages sent to your apartment, and borrows your porn.”
It was oddly silent on the other end of the line.
A few moments later, a bright red Zuko was marching up to Iroh with a smirking Hakoda trailing behind. The younger man snatched the sleep set out of Iroh’s hand without a word and continued his march towards the register.
“An excellent choice, Nephew.” Iroh was pleased with himself.
Comments I received athentai_contest:
"LOVED it, Kat!! And you're welcome! <3"
"That was really cute."
"Haha oh poor Zuko; I think I myself would be mortified to receive that kind of a message from a family member, so I feel for ya!"
"Freaking lost it at, "...borrows your porn." I've never watched Avatar, but I used to play in this LJ game with this really amazing Iroh and it made me want to watch it. Of course, I never did, but the sentiment was there. Great writing. I really enjoy your style, above all else."
"Loved the dirty-old-man angle - and, yes, when someone steals both your food and your porn, it's time to call it a serious relationship... LOL
Excellent job - so stinkin' cute :)"
"*giggles* This was hilarious!"
