Zuko laughed and smiled at her. Katara's heart melted at the sign of her secret crush finally being happy. She caressed his rough, strong hand in her soft, slender one, shifting her shoulder subtly to where her braid rested gently on Zuko's arm.
Teasingly, Zuko picked up the braid and dangled the end over her head, tickling her nose with the split ends that needed to be cut. She giggled and wrapped her arm around Zuko's waist as they stepped down the path, shoes clicking on the cobbles, and lovely flowers filling the warm air with whimsical scents.
They walked over to a bench coated in cherry blossoms, Zuko brushing the petals off for her as they sat down. Katara's water tribe clothes were warm in the garden, and she could tell Zuko was getting drowsy. Katara felt her head slide towards a blissful sleep with her beloved, and she rested her head on Zuko's shoulder.
In response, Zuko did the same, except on Katara's head. Just before she slipped into cozy oblivion, she heard Zuko murmur, "I love you, Katara." She nodded and smiled sleepily. "Mmhm. Me too, Zuko."
Authors notes
so basically, idk what I'm doing, this is going to be a multi chapter that I've had in my head awhile and had no clue what to do with. Also, idk if I should be putting this at the bottom but, AVATAR DOES NOT BELONG TO ME! The tormenting of the characters DOES belong to me. MUAHAHAHAHAHA okay sorry. Anyway, I'm a noob, so a follow would be nice, but whatevs. Hope u enjoy and I will try to add a new chapter every day, but... lol, thx guys
