I don't own A:TLA (If I did Katara would not have ended up with Aang XD), the bands, or the songs.
Flipside by The Weekend
But on the flip flip flipside
Where the right is wrong and
Wrong feels so right
Every single mind numbing fight
Only makes me love you more
All she could think of was Zuko. She couldn't figure out why she couldn't get him out of her mind, but every time she saw him practicing with Aang, when he confided in her, the way the fire made his golden eyes seem even more beautiful, if that's possible, even their constant bickering made it where she couldn't help imagining another world with him. Some flipside to this reality where she didn't have to worry about whether this was right. Another universe where there was no war, or Aang, or Mai. Where everything was simple. But life wasn't like that. Wrong was wrong, and the fire nation prince with… what? A Waterbender? That was definitely wrong. Yet with all their meaningless little quarrels, their unconscious glances, and the fact that they would do anything for the other, Katara couldn't help falling in love with him.
The Only Exception by Paramore
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now
I swore to myself
I was content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Zuko never had anyone who was there for him. He didn't need anyone. He didn't need his father. He didn't need his sister. He had loved his mother, but he had survived without her. His uncle had stayed with him all through his banishment. He was more like a father than anyone had ever been to him. But when he lost his way it was alone that he found the right path. He thought he had loved Mai, but he could never really trust her. She was always the girlfriend of the prince, but never the girlfriend of Zuko. He always kept an arms length distance between the two of them, because she would never really understand him. She still only knew him as the boy she grew up with or what everyone else wanted him to be, the quiet obedient prince, rather than who he was now, who he really was. He was fine with all this. He had come to terms that when it came down to it, he was alone. Until he met her. Everything he knew was turned upside down. Suddenly he didn't want to be anywhere but with her. He had always told himself that if he let someone get close, he would only get burned, sometimes literally. With Katara though, he knew he would do whatever the risk to be able to be with her.
Temporary Insanity by The Weekend
What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
'Cuz that's a place we've never been
Until now
And I dunno
How we're gunna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all?
Or do we fall?
They pulled away from each other as full comprehension sank in. For a few seconds they just stared at each other. Both shot their eyes to the ground. Their minds where racing at one hundred miles an hour trying to catch up with what happened.
Z: Did we just… kiss?
K: Did he just… kiss me?
Z: What was I thinking?
K: Where does this leave us?
Z: Maybe I should just…
K: …pretend it didn't happen.
Z: We can go on like this didn't happen and I can pretend I don't have feelings for her.
K: If I ignore this it will go away. I mean… This is all crazy.
They both raised their eyes and looked at each other. And Katara pulled Zuko towards her for their second kiss.
