Happy holidays! I made a thing for my pal @lone-star-ranger as a solstice gift exchange event done in our multishipping server.
Have some sweet Jinko!

Jin giggled suddenly as they glided over the ice easily.
“What’s so funny?” Her boyfriend questioned, raising his lone eyebrow.
“Oh, nothing. I was just thinking of the first time we ice skated,” she grinned teasingly, “you fell on your ass, remember?”
Zuko rolled his eyes as a pink flush crawled up his neck. “Yeah, yeah. I remember just fine.”
Jin sighed happily as she tucked her arm into his, they smoothly turned the corner together. “That was our first real date. It was so long ago, wasn’t it?”
He shrugged. “Just a few years ago. My hands shook the whole date.”
She laughed—yes he had been so incredibly nervous it was hilarious now. And adorable. So adorable.
Zuko paused in the center of the rink, pulling her to a stop. “You know, my hands aren’t shaking now. Now I’m sure of myself, sure of you.”
Jin smiled sweetly at him, he was such a romantic. “Zuko, you know I—“
She cut herself off with a gasp as he fluidly got down on one knee.
“Z-Zuko?”
He grinned up at her as he pulled a small box from his pocket. “I told you, I’m sure. Are you?”
Zuko opened the box to reveal a simple golden ring with a thin band and a large circular-cut diamond. He held it up to her. “Will you marry me, Jin?”
She stood there, gapping at him in shock. How had she not seen this one coming? In fact, how had Zuko (of all people) played it off this cool?
“You know, I’m getting kind of cold down here, so an answer would be nice…”
“Get up or I’ll tackle you onto the ice.” Jin gripped his coat and tugged upwards. Zuko laughed as he rose from the hard ground, settling his hands on her hips. Jin burst forward and kissed him right on the mouth.
Zuko grinned into this kiss as he wrapped his arms more securely around her, softly chuckling into her mouth. “You still haven’t given me an answer, my love.”
“Of course my answer is yes, Zuko. Now kiss me again.”
