Whenever I thought of the enemy, I always thought of your face…
I've been saving this for something special…
The Fire Nation took my mother away!…
I thought you had changed!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Zuko woke up, breathing heavily. Looking around his room, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a dream. But then he remembered who he had been dreaming about.
Katara.
Zuko grit his teeth and shook his head vigorously. It happened a long time ago. It happened about a month ago. But why… WHY does her voice keep echoing in my mind? Why does she bug me every five minutes? Her voice… her scent… her smile…
My face…
It's a scar.
I'm sorry. That's… one thing we have in common.
I HAVE changed.
Katara woke up, eyes wide. She took a few deep breaths, and scowled. "D-Damn… Damn you, Zuko…" she whispered. She hugged herself, and walked out of the room she was in.
It's over. That thing I felt with him… it's gone now. And it's NOT fair. Not fair at all. Katara walked out to the deck of the Fire Nation boat and breathed in the fresh sea air. It was dawn, and a few rays of sunshine were starting to escape the darkness. I thought he could relate to me. I thought he was special.
Katara leaned on the railing of the boat and closed her eyes as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
That's the problem. I thought.
Zuko thrust his fist against the wall. I could've said one word. Everything would be different. I… I would happy. I would have someone who felt my pain, who echoed my wants and dreams; my hopes and desires.
Scowling, he stared up at the ceiling. Azula. If Azula wasn't involved in this… Who am I trying to kid? It's all my fault. Azula killed her best friend and I helped. Who would want me now?
A second tear joined the first as the sun started rising over the horizon. Why are you doing this to me? Why, even when we're miles apart, do you still rip a hole in my heart whenever I think of you? And why… after all this… is my heart still…
Zuko closed his eyes and tried to find peace. They healed my wounds, except my scar. They gave me a chance to live again. But why, after all what's happened, is my heart still…
Bleeding?

Did anyone get the last part? The last word there, was the continuation for Zuko and Katara's sentence. I know, it's sad, but hey, we don't exactly need a whole archive of happy, sappy, lovey-dovey stories.
And I hope you guys don't think Zuko is out of character or anything. I'm sure that deep, deep, deep inside, he's deep. Hey, some episodes show his deepness. Admit it!
See ya~
