Comes the Light
A Zutara Ending to Sozin's Comet
"No…" Katara whispered as she watched him fall. The blue light piercing his bare chest fell flat in a second. Lightning coursed through his veins as he squirmed on the ground, every now and then giving off a faint spark.
He had jumped in front of it to save her. Her former enemy, the man she always dreamed of hating forever until recently…Zuko risked his life to save hers. The pain it caused her. Katara's eyes were clouded with tears. I really have been wrong about him all along… A million thoughts could run through her head only in a millisecond, as she quickly had to doge the flash of blue fire headed her way.
"OH ZUZU, you don't look so good!" Azula cried with a mad cackle. She shot deadly flame after flame at the waterbender, who was doing all she could to end it all. Hiding behind a pole, she spied the water running through the grates below her feet, and a chain lying on another pole across from her. And quickly, with Azula frozen with nowhere to run, Katara chained Azula's cursed hands to the grate below.
The two women gasped for air as Katara unfroze the ice casing around them. Without a moment to lose and with Azula's desperate cries of insanity ringing behind her, Katara ran to the former banished prince, her sightline narrowing in on his fateful wound.
Katara knelt beside him, barely keeping her composure, and placed her healing hands on his toned chest. Seeing him in a new light, she could not help but blush. And Zuko, through squinted eyes, could not help but smile at her flushed cheeks. He too began to blush as her hands ran up and down his body. He groaned quietly and shifted his head. The waterbender stopped her movements and elatedly brought her dark hand to her necklace.
Zuko opened his eyes wide enough for Katara to notice. Her eyes were now filled to the brim with tears. He smiled even wider.
"Thank you, Katara, for everything…I don't know how-" He could not finish. She threw her arms around his neck, locking him in a tender embrace. She looked back at him.
"No, Zuko, I believe that it's me who should be thanking you!" A silver tear ran down her flushed cheek. Zuko darted his eyes from her pink lips to her azure eyes. He shifted his hands to the ground, and pressing hard upon it, lifted himself to a sitting position.
Katara never broke her gaze. She moved her upper body up in response to his moving body. Her face was merely inches from his, her lips quivering, thought she was smiling radiantly.
Zuko groaned deeply with pain and Katara, subconsciously, pressed her hand to his wounded chest. The two of them shifted their gaze to her tentative hand. Zuko was breathing deeply, and Katara could feel his wild heartbeat, his increasing along with hers. She looked up at him, and quickly, pressed her lips against his scarred cheek.
Neither one of them saw the peck coming. Katara gasped as a reaction to herself, and Zuko turned so red that he could feel the heat in his cheeks hotter than the heat around him. Embarrassed, she tried to turn her body away from him, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Zuko," She whispered as he tugged her back so that she was facing him again. He cupped her cheeks, and guided her face ever so slowly to his. He shut his eyes, and she shut hers. For a moment, all they could hear was the soft breathing escaping from their lips that were gradually inching together…
Suddenly, Azula's cry in agony interrupted their moment. Katara bent her head down and bit her bottom lip. Zuko sighed as another silver tear escaped her eyes. Zuko arose slowly, extending a cautious hand to Katara, who sat almost motionless on the ground.
She looked up at his face, his beautiful face, and took his gentle hand. Even though it was coarse from the firebending, there was no one else that Katara would have rather shared this moment with.
The two of them crossed the yard to the frantic firebender, who was writhing in pain. She twisted in her chains and bawled, releasing her signature blue fire from her mouth.
"What are we going to do with her?" Katara asked, practically whispering.
Zuko sighed and looked away from his sister. "She needs to be locked up, put in solitary confinement. But she needs enough care so that she will not be doomed to rot in this state." He cleared his throat.
Katara latched her tender arm onto his, and leaned her head into his throbbing bicep. Hesitantly, she nuzzled it gently. Zuko closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. Together, they walked away from the scene.
