This is my new drabble song fic series. I hope that you enjoy it.
This first chapter is based on the song Just Give Me a Reason by Pink. All the songs in this fic will be chosen as part of random selection via shuffle on my phone.
Please read and review my three other Zutara fics, if you enjoy this one. I apologise for the swearing; some people are offended by it! I am sorry! Well, you can't say that I didn't warn you :)
"Fine! Be like that! Fuck off. Leave me alone! I don't need you!"
Zuko rolls his eyes in aggravation. At least you know how I am feeling now. I hardly ever see Zuko anymore. And we are engaged! I haven't seen him in a month. Of course I am angry. Wouldn't you be?
"Katara, look I am back now. We can be together again."
Oh, I am really angry now! Zuko really knows how to infuriate me beyond reason.
"Zuko, you haven't been here in a month. I am the ambassador to the Southern Water Tribe. I can't be following you everywhere. I have things to do as well. You aren't the only one who has a lot of work these days. I barely get any time to myself, because I am always at peace process meetings between the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes. A lot of my people are angry Zuko. Very angry. The Fire Nation is extracting the little minerals that we have in our little corner of the world. If you can't see my side of things, then I don't see things working between us."
Zuko is silent for a long time after that. Just as I am about to leave to turn on my indoor shower (Incredible! I may not be too fond of the Fire Nation, but I have to applaud them on their various facilities) and practise my bending as well. My bending is a huge part of who I am and it really calms me down when I'm angry. There is something about water that makes me incredibly serene; almost as serene as Aang is when he practises his air bending. And I really need that feeling of inner peace now to quench the inner fire that Zuko has provoked inside of me.
As I slowly walk past him, he grabs hold of my wrist. I throw a curious glance at him, and once again I am mesmerised by his golden eyes. I shouldn't be feeling like this, I am supposed to be angry. I need to assert my right to be treated equally. I mean I wouldn't just up and leave without another word for a month. It's just not in me.
His eyes slowly soften from the hard glint that was present during our 'spat'. If you ask me, it was more like combat. I am exhausted now.
"Katara, I am so sorry. I have been a jerk. I know that."
With that, he bends down on one knee and pulls out a small box from the decorative pocket of his coat. What is he doing? We are already engaged to be married.
Opening the box, he flashes me his boyish grin, one that I have been seeing a lot of recently. It is one that I couldn't imagine Zuko when he was on his lonesome ship. He knows that I can't resist that smile. The jerk. But even my harsh words can't take away from the steady beat of my heart. He is just so darn cute. This is why I can't stay mad at him for long.
"Katara, this is a promise ring and I hereby promise that I won't leave you by yourself and I will bring you with me. Also, you can bring me with you when you have meetings. Do we have a promise?"
Thank you so much! Please read and review :D
