Disclaimer: If i did own avatar Zuko would already have kissed Katara and the world would be amazing because Azula and Oazi would be eaten by Appa (and Sokka if he was really hungry)
Zuko had been sitting an inch from the edge of a cliff meditating
Zuko had been sitting an inch from the edge of a cliff meditating. All was peaceful until she decided to come and try to make him go take a walk or help her get dinner ready.
"Why are you always bothering me?" Zuko yelled and a confused Katara
I love that you came
"Aang doesn't want you to get hurt, since you are the only firebending master available!" Katara defended herself even though Aang hadn't said a thing to her about Zuko.
"Well than he should have come to get me instead of sending you!" Zuko snapped back.
Aang didn't say anything did he
"Well what if I care too?" she said quietly.
Zuko smiled on the inside
That would mean the world to me
"Would it be that strange if I wanted to make sure you were okay?" Katara whispered, barely holding back the tears.
He looked away from her.
Yes. I should be nothing to you but I want to be so much more
"Well I do care. I care about you more than anything in the world. I think I love you Zuko." Katara said in a tiny voice, while looking away with the growing rose blush on her face.
Zuko refused to look at her he knew he wouldn't be able to say it if he looked her in the eyes.
How strange that those words were all I needed to repair my broken heart…
"Well Zuko, how do you feel?" she whispered, turning to look at his back.
"No. I don't feel the same way about you." He said quietly.
I'm so sorry that I have to break yours
He had to bite his tongue until it bled to keep his voice from shaking or saying how he really felt or turning around and holding her in his arms and whispering how much he cared about her into her hair.
The tears streamed down her face. She turned and ran away, away from the pain, and away from him.
You deserve someone so much better than me
When she was gone he let the tears immerse his own face and grabbed the edge of the cliff, ready to jump.
I have to protect you
He grabbed his head in his hands, trying to erase the knowledge that he had hurt her.
My sister and father would use you against me and you would get hurt
He collapsed onto the ground, trying to accept what he had done.
I can't let you get hurt, wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you
He hadn't done it for himself because if he had he would be holding her tightly right now.
I care for you far too much and…
He had done it to save her.
Because I love you
