Flirting
Chapter Two- Hurt/Heal
"Would you just let me heal it?" Katara asked once again only this time getting frustrated.
"No, now leave me alone." Zuko growled then turned away.
"Why won't you let me help you?" She asked crawling to face him.
Everyone else just sat there and watched them. It was the same story as always, Zuko was injured, Katara wanted to heal it, he wouldn't let her, they argued over it. It ended it two ways, either she'd heal him or leave him there to sit in pain and heal him in the morning. Everyone pretended not to notice the small glances between them through this argument, Sokka most of all.
"I don't need help." Zuko claimed and hid his wounded arm from her. She sighed and looked him in the eyes. She gave him that pleading look that made him look away.
"Please?" She slowly took his hand and pulled his arm out from its cover. She carefully rolled up his sleeve to show the cut and bruise. "Now hold still." She told him softly.
"I know, we've been through this before." He told her sounding annoyed. All she did was smile and put the water on his skin. He avoided her gaze as well as everyone else's.
"There, done." She said as she ran her fingers across his arm where the cut had been. There was a quick moment where their eyes met and he allowed her to rest her hand on his arm gently.
"Katara, you ready to make dinner now?" Sokka broke their gaze. He was always the one to break them up. That didn't surprise anyone.
"Yeah Sokka." She stood up and walked away from Zuko. "Can you grab the fruits from my bag for me?" She asked as she went about making their dinner.
