I'm new to FanFiction so I'm sorry if this chapter isn't good.

Cold Stare

Katara's p.o.v

It was just after the war ended. Me, and Zuko managed to defeat Azula. And Toph couldn't be more happy to see us. Aang, beat Firelord Ozai. And I couldn't be more joyful. I still couldn't believe the war was over. And I still couldn't believe I was still awake.

Why was I awake? I have no idea. I just felt weird. But what was bothering me? Zuko was bothering me. I didn't understand what was wrong with him. He started acting all weird after me and Aang kissed. I mean Zuko has Mai, or at least had Mai. Right after the war ended Zujo and Mai got back together right away, then what do you know tonight at dinner they broke up and she's gone for good. But that's not what I'm puzzled about.

After dinner me and Aang shared this passionate kiss and what do you know, Zuko gives me this stare that just gives me the chills. Sure Zuko's always emotionless, and hard to read. But he gave me a dirty stare. A star that was as cold as ice. I swear when he looked at me he almost froze my heart his stare was so cold.

But why would he care about me and Aang being together? And the obvious answer is, of course he doesn't care. Why would he?

I sighed and rolled over. It felt hot and sticky in my bed, despite how cold it was outside. I glanced at the candle on my bedside. I just watched the flame move. Dancing by its self. I just loved how peaceful fire looked. It reminded me of Zuko.

Then suddenly I heard my bedroom door crack open. I instantly sat up and was about to open my mouth when I saw Zuko standing by the door way. He stared at me and said "Your still awake?"

My mouth went dry as I simply nodded my head. I studied the fire bending boys face. I looked at his golden eyes, as they looked at mine. "Can't sleep?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Well at least we both can't sleep. So what's going on?" I asked as I patted the end of my bed motioning Zuko to sit down.

"Nothing." He said coldly but warmly. And I hated how he could do that. He could sound mad AND happy at the same time so you could never really tell If he was happy or not.

"Why did you and Mai break up?" I asked warmly as I looked into his eyes. I gently touched his arm.

"Oh no reason. I just don't want to be with her anymore." Zuko mumbled.

"Oh;" I said softly

"What about you and Aang. How are you guys?" Zuko asked in a deep tone. I felt my heart drop when he asked me that.

"Well Aang told me he loves me today. But I just don't love him." And when I said that Zuko just cracked a smile and shook his head laughing slightly.

"What's so funny?" I snapped in my usually motherly tone.

"Nothing;" Zuko said "It's just I don't see why your running around kissing him if you don't even love him." After Zuko said that I felt my cheeks go hot "But he must enjoy it since your so beau- Then suddenly Zuko looked down on the floor and never finished his sentence.

"Zuko;" I said as I scooted closer to him and cupped his face in my hands. I felt his soft pale white skin. It was as soft as baby skin, and clear as water itself "I'm what?" I suppose I relaxed Zuko because his hand gently touched mine that was on his face cheeks "I said your beautiful." He said breathlessly.

I felt something funny in my stomach. I felt myself getting a little hot.

"You think I'm beautiful?" I said softly.

"Yes." Zuko mumbled.

"Why?" I asked.

Zuko stared in my eyes and whispered "Those blue eyes, your tan skin, and soft brown silky hair;" He said quietly "The way your lips curve waiting for someone to press there's into them." After he said those words I felt my heart beat quickly. Did fire prince think I was beautiful? Yes he just said he did. Now I know I'm beautiful, I'm confident about myself. But it's just an honor having him say I'm beautiful. "Blue, is not doubt the most beautiful, peaceful color in the world." Zuko said as are foreheads touched each other's.

I studied Zuko's face. He was devilishly handsome that's for sure. He had pale white skin, that looked so soft and clear. Golden eyes, that reminded me of gold. Messy black hair that was just always perfect, and I wont pretend his body isn't hot. I've seen him shirtless before. He had a well toned six pack, and big nice shoulders. My eyes went up to his eyes. I looked at eyes. Around the right eye was his scar. Zuko said Mai always complained about it. But I think it's attractive. It shows he's a soldier, and he worked to get where he's at now. I sighed as I stared into his eyes. "Zuko;" I said breathlessly "Why did you jump in front of the lightning?" I asked him. Zuko stared at me.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Zuko;" I said closing my eyes for a moment and taking my forehead off his "Give me an explanation."

"Why don't I show you?" Zuko said a bit seductively. I bit my lip. I know Zuko loves it when girls bite their lips. He claims it's the most sexy thing a girl can do. I realized he was leaning towards my face, as I found myself slowly leaning. Are lips where about to touch when my bedroom door flew open...

This is my first FanFiction story and I'm really nervous about it. I really enjoy this couple and I'm sorry if its out of character. Please review, and please no flames. But I would love it if people told me what I need to improve! I hope you liked the first chapter. Please Review:)
