There she was, shaking as a small kid without knowing what to do. Scared, she walked closer. The veil was covering her beautiful features, and the red painting her skin.
The Blue Spirit froze at the time he discovered her standing in front of him. Her scent was so relaxing, but still estrange. It was like if he knew her but couldn't remember.
Katara saw him walking with the same anxiety, the way he stepped seemed so familiar but hadn't a clue of what it was. She gave another step as she reached her face letting the man a better view of her face.
His skin iced as he realized who she was. Those eyes, those beautiful, charming and deep blue eyes… He looked her body, her chocolate and soft skin, her delicate lips and back again, her eyes…
The girl felt awkward, she could say for the man's attitude, that he recognized her. But still, he didn't hurt her. So he stepped even closer. Then she understood. Her enemy, the banished prince, the traitor from the Earth Kingdom, Zuko... was standing right in front of her. How couldn't she realized it earlier. Everything matched. She had so many things to say, so many emotions to express an so many tears to shed…
Zuko understood the conflict inside her sight. He stood still, waiting for a hard punch in his face, but nothing happened, not even a sound was released from her lips. He felt so guilty, so lonesome and shamed…
Then, she removed her hat, the veil and the gown.
He removed his mask and dropped it.
The painted lady showed so many emotions as she saw the blue spirit next to her. She was dying to listen his voice erasing the lies. She wanted him to apologize, to try to understand her.
They were so closed, they were breathing the same air. Zuko looked at her and smile.
Then they kissed.
