True Feelings At The End
I had just frozen Azula in the ice block. I breathed carefully and unfroze myself I unfroze the water carefully and tied her wrists to the grate tightly. After she was secure I rushed over to Zuko, my hero my lifesaver. I healed him quickly and when the wound healed over I realized what joy truly was. "Thank you Katara," he whispered to me, him thank me? But how he saved my life if he had let me die he wouldn't have needed my life.
I choked on my words but when I did speak I only choked a bit "I think I'm the one that should be thanking you." His head was still in my hand and as I gazed into his eyes I felt a connection I hadn't noticed until just now. "Can I do something?" I asked him suddenly.
"If it's what I want to do that I hope you will."
I didn't know if my guess was right or not but it was the only one I had. I owed him my life and in realizing this I realized something I had been blind to before. That while I owed him anything he wanted of me, my body my mind my heart my soul. He already had them all; I was in love with the once banished prince. Ok so maybe not in love yet but I could definitely feel myself going in that direction. I bent my head down and I kissed him gently on his lips. The kiss felt so right, so pure, like nothing in the world could be more perfect. The kiss made me forget the war and forget the trashing girl behind us. I broke from him and stared at him in the eyes.
"Did I guess right?"
He smiled at me "yes," and then he pulled me into another kiss.
