One Night Eclipse
Prologue
The look in her azure eyes was intoxicating. She looked at him, and he could have sworn he was swimming in blue sea. The waves crashed against the shore knocking him down. He wanted her, and she knew it. Maybe she was his personal hell. Torturing him whenever she held someone else's hand. The flames in his amber eye glared at her, but that smirk on her lips challenged him. As Fire Lord he could have anything, but he chose her. He wanted her, not the girl next to him. He sipped his wine, and watched as the Water Tribe girl kissed her Air Nomad on the cheek. He wanted that to be his cheek. His hand she was holding.
That night after dinner everybody went home, or to their guest room. The Fire Lord's room was the largest, and most elegant. A crimson bed placed in the middle with a desk at the far corner, and two chest at the other corners. He lay in his bed looking up. His bare chest rose, and fell with every breath. Sleep was not merciful tonight for he thought of her. She was on his mind when he was awake, and when he was asleep. He reached down and touched the scar. The same scar he got when he saved her. He growled. She should be his, and with that set in the Fire Lord's mind he stood. He walked over to the large wooden doors that kept him from her.
There was an eerie feel in the air, and he paced down the hall. The silence was deafening, and the moon's light came in through the windows. The moon was the sun's enemy, but they worked together in harmony. He spent weeks trying to figure out how, but the answer was behind the doors in front of him. Without knocking he entered her room. The door closed behind him, and he looked at her bed. She wasn't there.
"I knew you would come for me," She said from behind him. He spun around to be faced with the blue eyed beauty. The evil smirk on her face drove him insane.
"You always know," He told her, and closed the space between them. His hands found their way to her waist, and her hands found his chest. The mocha skin contrasted from his fair chest. He moved down and captured her lips. She didn't struggle, but kissed back. This had been an affair for months. Both desired the other, but where afraid to let go of the one they had. It was like the moon and the sun. They chased each other around the world, but luckily there was a lunar eclipse. So they let their desires take over. Tonight they were lovers, but tomorrow they were strangers.
"I want you like this every day," The Fire Lord said as he moved away from her lips.
"Tonight I am yours," She said in response, and drew him closer.
"Tomorrow you will be mine. I'll make sure of it," He said, but he said it every night when they were together. The only difference tonight was that he meant it. Every word off his tongue was true. So they were one that night. Closer than ever before; when it was over these words were said.
"Katara you are mine, and I am yours."
"I will always be yours, Zuko."
