Like I said, I DO NOT own ATLA and or their places, people, or things.
I do however, own this plot. I would like to thank LadyGhost92 for being my first and only review! Thank you, it means a lot to me. Other than that, if its not what you want to read and if its not what you expected, im so sorry to disappoint you, but that's how life is. Take it or leave it! This story isn't going to go all exactly the way the actual cartoon goes, but it will still have some of the purposes. Yes, this is strictly Zutara fanfic, and I must remind you that this is my first Zutara fanfic, so if its sucky you know why. Some of the characters may not have the same characteristics, but I will try my best for them to stay the same. Sorry for the spelling and grammar errors, im NOT perfect, and its not like no one ever makes those types of mistakes. Nice reviews always accepted, and message me for any ideas you can help provide. Thanks.
Chap.#2:││Such a beautiful mess││
"Toph, I cant believe youre really saying this!" Suki's laughter was amazingly loud enough for anyone out in the hallway to hear.
Katara raced inside the room where Toph and Suki were in.
As soon as they saw her, they stood quiet.
"What happened, Katara?," Toph asked as she sat on her bed.
Katara was still wide- eyed.
"Yeah Katara, you look a little pale, what happened?"
Katara ignored the question, "Suki, aren't you supposed to be with Sokka?"
"Yeah, but Sokka and Zuko are having a privet conversation."
Katara jumped a little.
What are they talking about?
"Katara, you haven't answered our question, what happened?"
"Umm, nothing happened Toph. Where's Aang?"
Suki frowned, "He's in the 'Spirit World', whatever that means…"
Katara sighed with relief.
"Soooo…Katara, how about if we make a campfire on the beach? Only us girls, what do you say?," Toph asked.
"Umm , sure, that would be nice."
"YAY! Its only gonna be us! We need time together, you know? Without the guys." Suki got happy with the thought.
"Yeah, but wait until Sokka butts in, then all the rest are gonna start bugging us, and its gonna suck!,"Toph said as she cracked her knuckles.
"So then, when are we gonna do it?Its going to get dark later on, and we cant sleep outside, you know how mad Sokka is gonna get." Katara said.
"Umm…more like Zuko, his family owns this estate, so if we don't go in before its midnight, then they'll really look for us." Suki said as she bit her lip.
"Youre right, just wait another hour, then we'll go outside, its almost night.", Toph said as she went out of the room.
Suki sat down on a chair.
"Katara, Toph and I were thinking about something, its about someone that has a crush on you, Katara."
Katara gulped.
Please don't remind Sokka about this! He'll get so mad at me…
"You wanna know who it is?" Suki smiled.
"uh… I really don't want"-
"I think itsAang!," She yelled it out.
What?
"Aang? What makes you say that?"
"I overheard him talking to himself in his sleep."
"What? You cant be serious. Really?"
"Umm…yes deary, why do you ask? Oh! You like him, don't you? Awh…how cute! Wait a minute, isn't he younger than you?"
Katara sighed.
She didn't know what to say anymore.
"Yeah, well age doesn't matter anyway, it still looks good with the girl being older than the guy! Ive seen you two flirting!"
"Sukki, I don't like him that way, anything you've seen or heard, you must've taken it the wrong way. I don't think of Aang like that."
Suki was confused.
"What?Oh, it's the age thing isn't it?"
"NO! Aang is a great guy, and im sure if he finds the right girl for him, he'll be ok, but I don't like him that way. Besides, im not interested in anybody."
Suki had a very sly smile, of course, a non-believer.
"Hmm, I was pretty sure it was Aang, ha! Its kinda funny isn't it? Poor Aang, oh well."
"Yeah, I guess…"
It turned into night and the girls decided to go out into the beach.
They made a fire and relaxed on the sand.
"The sand is great for your feet, it makes them soft too!" Toph seemed to be in her own world.
Suki was sitting on a rock.
Katara was laying on the sand, looking at the night sky.
Toph was throwing rocks out into the water.
"You know, I should've brought Sokka. His stomach's soft, it feels just like a pillow…"
Toph laughed at what Suki said.
Suki pouted, "What? Its true!"
"Might as well bring Appa for that!," Toph said laughing.
"I think it's better, this is better, without the boys. Think of it. Guys take up so much space…" Katara said, as Toph and Suki looked at her confused.
Just when Suki was about to say anything, someone interrupted them.
"Oh boy, you have issues,"Sokka said as he sat down next to Suki.
The girls got startled.
Aang came by with Zuko.
Once Zuko came into Katara's view, she looked away madly blushing, not wanting to meet his gaze.
Zuko looked down , he was upset.
Aang sat down next to Katara which was still laying on her back.
Zuko sat down in the middle of the two couples while Toph was still wading in the water.
"Well there goes our girl's night out, We should've gone Down town, I told you suki!," Toph said.
"Well, excuse me! No one told us you girls were having the night to yourselves," Sokka seemed to be pretty mad.
It freaked Katara out.
"Geesh Sokka, this isn't you, what happened?" Toph asked.
Everyone stood quiet, looking at each other.
Sokka eventually answered, "My head hurts from all the talking I had to do, right Zuko?"
Everyone turned to Zuko, while Katara's back faced everyone.
"Katara, are you ok? Do you need anything to eat? Drink?," Thanks to Aang, all the attention went to Katara.
She stood quiet. Closing her eyes tightly shut.
This is all just a nightmare, this is all just a nightmare, this is all just a-
"Yeah Katara, I think your boyfriend should be asking you this, not Aang,"Sokka replied.
Everyone gasped.
Even Toph, who couldn't see how this drama took affect.
Katara froze.
What did he tell my brother?i just hope it isn't what he saw. I hope Sokka didn't see us…
"You guys knew I like her?" Aang yelled.
Another gasp came out. Thanks to Aang, now everyone knew this confession.
"Well, I did, I mean, what other boyfriend would she have? Momo? Appa? Are you talking about them?"
"Suki! NO! honey, not them, theyre animals, who else would my sister be with? I ment Zuko!," Sokka said, angrily.
That was it!
Katara stood up, angry and fed up, "You know what?"
Everyone stared at her.
Zuko looked embarrassed, as he blushed.
Katara refused to say anything.
She kicked sand, it caught in Aang's eyes, as he flinched with pain.
Katara didn't care, it wasn't her in that moment.
She started walking towards the palace.
Everyone went to Aang's rescue, they were afraid of Katara in that instant.
It wasn't her at all.
She got to her room and onto her bed.
She sobbed uncontrollably.
Why do I have to deny it?
Her eyes got all watery and red.
The tears stung in her eyes, a sign that she cried a lot.
It seemed like an hour until she heard someone come in her room.
The stranger sat down next to her.
Later on, she felt the pleasant warmth of the stranger's hand on the middle of her back, trying to soothe her.
She knew who it was.
"Katara, im sorry," Zuko's soft whisper gave her the chills.
She turned around to face him.
"Zuko, did you tell him?"
"Tell who, what?"
Little sparks of anger came back to her head.
"You know what im talking about Zuko! Don't act stupid!"
Ouch!
He deserved that.
"I told Sokka because he saw us, you know… kiss."
She looked at him in disbelief, but looked down at her pillow sobbing again.
"You cant even say it, maybe because youre disgusted by kissing me, face it, you hate me!"
Zuko sighed, knowing who he was dealing with since the beginning.
"No Katara, why would I be disgusted by you? Why would I hate you?"
She turned around again,"Because im a water peasant! And because youre the Fire nation prince!"
"I Don't hate you Katara, and im not disgusted by you… if anything, you should be disgusted by me," He said sadly.
Katara noticed sadness tracing his words, she wish she would be brave enough to tell him her feelings towards him. She wished.
"Why did you kiss me?"
"What?"
"You heard me, why?"
The feeling was coming again, there was no turning back, Katara felt rejection near by and she didn't want to look like a fool.
"Because…. I .. wanted to… because I…. I like you …a lot…", Katara couldn't believe what she was hearing and seeing, all at the same time. He looked so cute, so tiny, just like a child when he said it, as he looked down, blushing uncontrollably.
This was not him.
"Even if what you said were to be true, this cant be happening, I don't want to be the other one."
"What are you talking about?"
"You know what im talking about!"
He stared at her confused.
"I ment by Mai. Arent you still with her?"
"Mai? No, we ended , just when I went to go find you guys, is that what you wanted to know?"
Katara's eyes were shinning more than ever.
"You two, ended?"
He chuckled, "yeah, we did, its no more."
His hand reached on to her cheek as Katara closed her eyes shut, a tear escaped as she felt Zuko's warm breath against her neck.
Don't trick me, please not now… but I wanna be your fool…. I wanna be yours…
"Katara, the only person I really want, is you."
He faced her and faintly smiled as she rapidly pushed her lips against his.
He closed his eyes as the kiss got deeper.
Her tiny arms wrapped around his neck as his were tightly wrapped around her waist.
A small groan escaped his lips as Katara's tongue pressed firmly against Zuko's bottom lip.
It was something Zuko had always longed for.
Water and Fire were a really bad mixture, but it couldn't hurt, not this time.
Steam was still a mixture, but it still wasn't that bad.
He couldn't stop.
Katara made it impossible for him to stop.
He couldn't contain himself, he needed more than just her teasing.
Zuko was once the enemy, but now, he was one of them.
This was a different feeling, and he was being sincere to it.
He wanst the strong, don't-want-to-put-up-with-your-bullshit, stubborn, ruthless guy.
Not around Katara.
He was weak, gentle, harmless, caring person even he didn't know existed inside of him.
He never knew of such a thing, But maybe, this was what he got from his mother.
A little moan escaped Katara's throat as her tongue touched his.
His hand, gently going down the small of her back, he gently moved his lips down her neck, and onto her collarbone.
She pressed her hips closely towards Zuko's hips, slowly grinding her womanhood against his privet area, making him groan out of satisfaction.
"Youre…such….a…tease…Katara," He said as Katara was taking big grasps of air. She smiled faintly as she began to grind harder, tighter, and slower, making a slight bulge in his pants.
He was breathing harder, and moaned in her mouth.
"umm….nice to know that youre very busy with things katara…" Toph's voice rang throughout the room.
Zuko and Katara stopped and looked wide-eyed at Toph, which was laughing so hard.
They both felt a sudden warmth on their cheeks as they got embarrassed by what happened.
"Have you ever heard of knocking Toph?," Zuko was back to his old self again.
"This isn't your room Sifuhotman, besides, Katara has the say in this!," Toph snapped.
Zuko sighed heavily, as he got off the bed and walked over to the door as he glared at Toph.
"Yeah, I know, I killed the moment. Poor Zuzu."
He growled as he got out of the room and into the hallway.
Katara cleared her throat as she fixed her hair.
"Umm.. come in Toph, im sorry you had to hear that."
"Don't worry, im just glad I don't get to see any of it."
Toph sat right next to katara.
"So what's on your mind?"
"Uh… Katara, I know this might bother you, but you know me. You know I get straight to the darn point."
Katara was getting nervous.
"Ummm…. Ok? Where does this all lead?"
"It's a yes, or no question."
"Ok."
"You and Zuko, its something, isn't it?"
Fuck! What should I tell her?
"Is it or not?"
"I…I don't think so."
Toph laughed.
"Katara, youre seriously forgetting one thing, you know I can tell whether its true or not, and that my friend, is a lie."
"No its not! Toph, people make mis"-
"Don't come with that bullshit sugar queen, Its obvious, everyone can see it, well you know, I can feel it."
Katara sighed.
There was no way , absolutely no way of denying it now.
"Fine Toph, im sorry for lying, I do have something for Zuko, but were not anything."
"I knew it! You and Zuzu, how cute. But you do know Sokka is gonna keep an eye on you two love birds, right?"
"I know, but its not like"-
"Ahem, almost Katara, until I interrupted your little secret," She chukled.
"Toph! stop being mean!"
"Im not, im just saying, oh, and Katara?"
"What?"
"Don't break Aang's heart. Think about him as well. I mean, think about your two
Options clearly, you never know if it backfires at you."
Toph was about to leave until Katara spoke, "Toph?"
"Hmmm?"
"Don't tell anybody, please?"
"About what? I don't know what youre saying sweetie," She said as she smiled.
Katara understood her very well.
"Thanks Toph."
"No prob, sugarqueen."
