The Best Moments
Zuko's POV
The Question
I looked outside and there she was. Katara was on her room's balcony, looking at the view. A year ago, Katara broke up with him. He was worried that they wouldn't be able to maintain a long distance relationship while he saved the world. Katara thought she would be able to, but Aang wouldn't let her try. Ever since then, she has been living here, at the Palace. She hasn't been able to go back to the South Pole because traveling the world reminded her of Aang. She is always looking sad, but I'm not sure why.
I walk up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. I could tell she was tearing up. She kept staring at the sunset and I stood next to her.
"Today was the day they left me." They?
"He left with me at my time of sadness."
"Out of the 7 anniversaries that she has been gone, last year was the worst." I searched my mind, trying to remember who she was talking about.
"He left me...on my mother's death day..." Tears were escaping down her face and she turned to look at me. I handed her a tissue, and she wiped her tears with it. She came closer to me and leaned her head on my chest. I put my arms around her and stroked her back. She pulled away, walked into her bedroom, and I followed.
"I-I'm sorry Zuko. Something just came over me." She said wiping her face. We both sat on the edge of her bed.
"It's okay. I kinda liked it." She looked at me like I was crazy or something.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I like you." She just stared. "The reason I came in here, was to ask you something."
"What is it?" I thought of what to say.
"You're smart, beautiful, and one of the best things that's ever happened to me." She blushed and said,"What do you want exactly?"
"You as my girlfriend." She gasped as most people would, and there was silence as I waited for a reply.
"I don't know what to say." How about yes? "Z-Zuko...I like you too..."
"Is that a yes or a maybe?" I ask, suspiciously.
"Definitely a 'yes'!"
