Lin stirred. She sat up.
"Jun?" she whispered, "Are you there?"
Zuko swallowed and stared at her, not even daring to blink.
"Luu. That's your true name. You know who I am," Zuko said. He didn't question. He was confident and sure, but he wanted her to clarify things before he was overwhelm by his confusion.

"Hn?" Jun mumbled, semi-yawning.
If someone had just watched what Jun had done they would think he was acting, but he really wasn't. He mumbled because he was in a massive thought process and he yawned 'cause he was tired. Don't be confused!
Luu looked at him a slightly confused expression.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. My name's Chen and you're Lee," replied genuinely confused for the most part. She was confused because she didn't know where he heard 'Luu' from or got the idea of it and she couldn't quite put her finger exactly on the second part. But then, she sort of put one and one together and her face fell to a neutral calm state.
"Come with me, there's a place I want to go," she told him cryptically.

"Oh. You are back. You were quiet today. Usually you're very loud," Lin said, then decided that if she were to continue to be Lee, she would be Lee. She laid back down. "So. What you do today."
Zuko didn't nod nor did his facial expression changed. He just looked at her and read her eyes.
"Ok," he agreed and followed her.

"Heh, I thought I should let you sleep for once, you usually get mad at me," Jun chuckled. The next part he pondered for a quick moment. How much should he say?
"Well, Luu set me up with Lin. That didn't do too great. And just recently I saw Luu with another guy," he explained unable to hold back the Luu part. If they were true guy friends, it would only make sense if he stuck out for him, like if his girlfriend is cheating on him, right?
Luu brought him to the top of a hill. No places people like the Dai Li could be hiding in. She sat down under the lone tree, making a small gesture for him to sit too.
"Um, well, I think you should know that I never really lied to you," she started, a little unsure of how to begin, but stating she never exactly lied seemed right.
"My name is Luu Chen."

"Oh? Another guy? Probably the guy she works with at the teashop. She told me about him," Lin replied, "I trust Luu."
Lin turned over to her side. "How was the date then?"
Zuko thought for a bit. He didn't feel betrayed. Instead he understood why she would hide her name. He understood what it meant to keep a low profile.
"And you know who I am, don't you?" Zuko repeated his question.

"Eh? It was alright. Though I got completely rejected," Jun answered sighing as he did so. Despite realizing the reason himself, the moment of his 'rejection' still glowed in him. It was a shocking moment, but lucky for Jun he was already suspicious then.
"What ever do you mean?" Luu smiled slightly, her eyes shining in the moonlight. She was feeling a little sad in a way, that perhaps there would be distrust between them. Then another question popped into her mind.
"... How much do you know?" Luu asked quietly.

"Rejected? That must of hurt," Lin said, trying to sound sympathetic, "There are plenty of other girls, y'know. Don't fret over it"
"Your name. The way you move gives off you aren't a sword wielder," Zuko answered, then continued, "You know. It's more of, how much do you know?"

"Yeah..." Jun answered his voice trailing off. There were of course a lot of other girls, but Jun wouldn't be looking at them too soon. He was pretty much set on the one he had in mind, plus it won't be too hard... right?
"... I won't be fretting too much."
Luu turned her head to look at him, this time smiling completely.
"Well, you'll just have to find out yourself won't you?" She answered, then she stood up. "It's pretty late now, you shouldn't worry your uncle. So, I'll see you tomorrow at work then~"

Days later...
Lin stretched her neck. It was a long day of patrolling the walls. She had upgraded from the streets a while back. However, Lin preferred the street instead of standing on the wall in the open blistering sun. She saw Jun who was changing.
"Hey," she said, sitting down and kicking off her shoes.
"Happy birthday to you!" Iroh sang to a guest.
Zuko watched his uncle in embarrassment. "That guy shouldn't have told him it's his birthday today."

Jun finished pulling off his top and 'Lee' was revealed to him.
"Hey, how was your day?" He asked as he ruffled his hair. The pair of them got promoted in recent days, both to the top of the wall. It was more of an honour, but boring as heck! Since they were spread out across the wall, Jun would see 'Lee' on the wall, but they weren't assigned to the same section (though, they were beside one another).
Luu giggled.
"It isn't that bad. Since he sings so loud, it's like he's wishing me a happy birthday," she smiled.

"Boring. I rather patrol the streets," Lin complained, combing her hair back to cover her face.
She turned to see topless Jun and she turned away again, trying not to glance at the wonderful man body that he had.
"Uh. Was it boring for you too?" Lin continued the conversation, staring at her feet.
Zuko set down the platter of tea.
"Wish you? It's your birthday today?" Zuko asked.

Jun quietly stood as he answered 'Lee's' question.
"Well, it was pretty boring considering you weren't there," he spoke draping an arm around 'Lee' with himself still topless.
"Yup," she smiled brightly. "Surprised?"

Lin closed her eyes and breathed in and out. She had to keep her heart calm, but it was hard as it was already thumping wildly.
"Huh? You like me that much?' Lin scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah..." Zuko said, then remembered the necklace he had kept hidden for so long now.
"Did I here right? It's your birthday Chen?" Iroh interjected, "We must have a party! How about it?"

"A huh," Jun answered.
Seeing her eyes closed he just couldn't stop himself as he leaned in and kissed her softly on her lips.
"A party? I wouldn't want to bother you like that! And on such short notice too," Luu blinked in total shock. But, soon after Luu found herself sitting in their home having a cup on tea as dinner was prepared. And because Luu was a guest, no matter how many times she insisted, 'Mushi' didn't allow her to help him.

Lin enjoy their kiss for the smallest fraction of a second before Earth bending him away from her.
"What are you doing? I'm a guy. And I'm straight," Lin spat at Jun.
"Well nephew, why don't you get her your present," Iroh suggested to Zuko.
Zuko frowned. How did uncle know? He thought he shouldn't ask but got up to go up the stairs to dig it out of his drawer.
