Disclaimer- They're not mine, just on loan for a little while.
A/N- I'm writing this fic for a friend of mine, Atashi Rabbit, who is an avid coughobsessedcough Zutara fan. I've seen about 5 minutes of this show, so the charcters will probrably be OOC. I was about half way through this when I realised that Zuko was not on Aang's side, so this will have to be an AU where he is.
This is a bit smutty, so if you don't like that I strongly suggest you don't read this. I appreciate reviews and welcome constructive critism, however don't flame me just because you don't like this ship.


The chilly night air bit through her skin. Despite it, she continues to stand out on the balcony, gazing longingly at the ocean of stars strectched high above her.

"What are you doing out here?"

She jumps and spins to face him, startled.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes. Katara shakes her head, her light brown hair dancing around her face.

"No, I just wasn't expecting anyone else here that's all." Her voice was small and soft but seemed to echo around the open space around them. He treads up beside her and wraps an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, part of being a fire bender she supposes

"Isn't it beautiful?" She tilts her head up to looks at the stars. Her gaze shifts to him, who mumbles an inaudible reply. Her eyes wander over his perfectly sculpted features; his amber gold eyes, jaw line, his now choppy, black hair, his totally kissable lips... She turns away, a blush rising to her cheeks.

"What?" Zuko askes, completely oblivious.

"Oh, nothing" she hums. She's so beautiful when she blushes, heck she's always beautiful.

"What?" It was her turn to ask the question.

He doesn't answer, but reaches out to touch her hair. In a bold move, he loosens the ties that hold it together. His fingers dance though the brown waves, strands falling around her face. And she lets him, her cheeks turning even redder. Suddenly he captures her lips with his in a brief but wonderful kiss.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to that." she breathed into his ear, her voice sending chills down his spine.

They kiss again, but this time their lips crash together with heated passion. Unable to contain it, their hands wander each others bodies with minds of their own. A low moan emerges from her throat as he trails a line of airy, butterfly kisses down her neck and collarbone. Their lips meet each others yet again.

"Why don't we take this inside?" she askes into his mouth.

Obediently he picks her up, her legs straddling his waist, and carries her into the hotel bedroom. They stumble through the door, the warmth of the room instantly enveloping them. Lying her down on the soft blankets, he clambers on top of her. They deftly remove each others clothing, impatience getting the better of them. They stopped to take each other in; his golden eyes glinting with lust, his broad shoulders, toned chest and chiseled arms; her messy brown hair, deep crystal blue eyes, delicate neck, the film of sweat now glistening off her chest...

"I love you, Zuko" she whispers. He hesitates for a moment, unsure how to react.

"I... I love you too." he states firmly.

Love- it was a word foreign to him as it passed his lips, but deep inside,somewhere, he knew it was true.


A/N- Sorry it's so short, but it's pretty hard writing about characters you don't know. Hope you enjoyed it and please review!
