Maybe it was the amount of drinks they had had, or maybe it was her sea-salt scent, but under the shimmering fireworks, he kissed her.

The night was young and vivacious as he crashed into her. Crowds of people and electrifying lights adorned the Fire nation festival that they were at. His tongues licked her lips greedily; they tasted like freshly picked strawberries. Pressed against one another, his hands lowered to her hips as the two twisted and tangled into one another.

"Zuko," Katara moaned, "Zuko, Zuko, Zuko," she repeated his name in a singy-songy voice as her fingers danced through his hair.

How had this started?

Well, there had been dancing. Aang, Sokka, and Toph had all seemed to disappear in the wave of people. When the drums had started banging and the traditional music had come on, Zuko had politely invited Katara to dance. Politely. So where had the sprung tension come from? Perhaps it was from the blood rushing to their heads. Maybe it was simply impulse. Or maybe it wan electric jolt that illuminated inside of them and flicked on when blue irises met gold. Either way, they stood there grasping onto each other. Their fingers interlocking and hearts springing to life underneath the twinkle of the stars.

So deep into their kiss they were that they had failed to notice three of their friends approach.

"They…They're just drunk! Right?" Aang cried out with a look of both worry and disgust.

"Relax, Twinkletoes," Toph slapped him on the back, "I know they had it in them."
