Calor
n. Spanish for "heat".
The heat was unbearable. Katara could hardly think. She was pretty sure that the ice she put in her drink only minutes ago had already melted. Just another reason to despise the Fire Nation. Everything was too Damn hot. All day, every day.
Katara was lying on the over sized sofa. It was too hot to do any housework. It was too hot to do anything, really.
Her complaining session was interrupted when a certain firebender plopped down on the sofa next to her. He smiled at Katara and she couldn't help but smile back.
"Wanna cool off?" He asked. And with that he got off the sofa. He held out his hand and she took it, getting off the large piece of furniture and following him to the beach.
When they got to the shore, Zuko removed his shirt. The master waterbender could feel her cheeks getting warmer - and not because of the stifling heat. In turn, Katara stripped down to her white binding. She also noticed her companion's good cheek rapidly turning pink. She entered the cool water and waited for him to join her.
As soon as he came into range, Katara hit him with one of her water whips. "It is so on." Zuko said as he brought a ball of fire to his palm. And just like that, the two began to spar.
Katara would never admit it out loud, but sparring with a shirtless Zuko on one of the hottest days of her life was a pro to being in the Fire Nation, even if she could barely stand the oppressive heat.
274 words later and the first day is finished!
