The Cooking Pot

"Today I'll be the nurse here," said Yoon. "Leave the sick and injured to me."

The second son of the Fire General hesitantly protested, "But—"

"We can't underestimate you, Lord Tae-Jun," interjected one of the soldiers. "We thought you were surveying the area frequently but…you were actually picking up this cute girl, right?" He said with big grin, obviously more than a little overjoyed for the additional companion the Heavens had showered.

"Excuse me?" said Tae-Jun, a tight smile stretching his cheeks. He would only pick up the Princess; others aren't to be considered.

"I'll let you know I'm a pretty boy." Yoon corrected with his usual conceited atmosphere hanging above him.

"Huh? Boy? Anything is fine! Welcome! Welcome!" Another soldier said cheerfully, apparently only hearing the pretty part, never minding the other. Being around young boys, sick people, and the elderly must have turned his mind to that of a mashed potato.

"Afterwards, show me a way to make some medicine!" The same soldier said gleefully.

"Uh…yeah."

Yoon couldn't help to stare.

"…What?"

"…I'm just thinking that no one is completely evil." Yoon thought out loud.

"Huh?"

"I thought government officials were supposed to be scarier."

"What?!"

A genuine smile surfaced in Yoon's lips.

...

Sitting on a tree branch above, Jae-Ha had a somewhat unsatisfied face. Yoon is getting pampered by those soldiers. Perhaps, he was a little jealous since he was, after all, the one who brought Yoon to this village.

"You look tired, Ryokuryuu." A voice from above him said. When Jae-Ha looked up, he was greeted with one of Zeno's brightest smiles. "Don't you want to play with the villagers?"

Jae-Ha was surprised. "What are you doing here? I thought you'll be staying with the others?"

Zeno jumped and landed on the same tree branch Ryokuryuu was sitting on; though his foot had slipped first before he regained the right balance to stand upright. "Zeno wants to help too. Besides, where bozu is, there is always food." Then, he jumped again; but this time, he landed clumsily, causing dirt to cling to his clothes. He dusted them off before happily skipping to a place where an old man was. "Ja na, Ryokuryuu."

Before Jae-Ha could even say anything, Zeno had already started jumbling little bags while providing an entertainment at the same time. The kids surrounding him were delighted, and soon, the yellow dragon was hugging the old man. He was smiling all the time.

Jae-Ha noticed Yoon smiling too but the self-proclaimed pretty boy didn't utter any word, simply letting the Ouryuu with what he wanted to do.

...

"Meal time, everyone!" called Yoon as he distributed bowls of porridge.

"So go~od! Meatball soup!"

"The plum porridge is so good!"

Even Zeno got his own bowl and was happily talking with the Fire Tribe soldiers now.

"Marry me, Yoon!" called the same soldier from before, hand outstretched to show his fondness.

"Hey, don't touch me." Yoon idly protested, hands still holding the cooking pot.

Then suddenly, Ouryuu was beside him, declaring, "You can leave that to Zeno." His usual smile was on his face.

Yoon accepted the gesture. "That helps," he said, appreciative.

If possible, Ouryuu's smile brightened even more. Yoon even flinched and had to ask himself if flowers really appeared around the yellow dragon; but had to re-organize his thoughts when he felt Zeno's touch lingering on his fingers.

Up at the same tree, Jae-Ha had a knowing smile—the very smile he wore when teasing Hak about his advances to Yona.

Well, he certainly didn't come just for food.

...

Omake:

"Huh? I don't see Yoon!"

"That dancing boy, too!"

"Yoon—"

"Where are you? Say something!"

"Lord Tae-Jun! Yoon disappeared!"

In the distance, Ouryuu Zeno was on the run, carrying a shouting Yoon thrown inside the cooking pot.

A/N: Just some drabble that wouldn't stop pestering my mind so I put it into words. That, or I'm just seriously obsessed with my precious ZenoYoon ship. Just a little warning, this fic will be updated if I feel like it. And yes, it will be drabbles or one-shots because I don't have that much free time.
