Here is where Zuko actually starts the seducing part. He has her trust, and now he aims for more… But what will happen if he finds out that he's enjoying Katara's company?

Chapter 3

Kisses

The next day, Katara opened her eyes and saw the rock slide in front of her. Instead of a pillow, she felt Zuko's shoulder.

She blushed when she felt his arm around her waist, and his other hand resting on her shoulder. She crawled closer to him, forgetting all about him being the enemy.

But at that moment, they heard Aang shouting.

'Katara? Katara! Where are you?!'

Zuko opened his eyes and gasped. Katara stood up and when she wanted to run back to the camp, Zuko stopped her.

'Please, wait! Before you go, can I ask you to meet me here again tonight? I really enjoyed the conversation we had.'

Katara smiled and nodded. Zuko smiled as well, and walked back in the forest. He looked back one more time and winked at her.

'Thanks again.' he said.

Katara felt like a cloud, and ran back to the camp happier than ever before.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The night fell again, and Zuko walked through the forest, on his way to the place where they decided to meet again.

He thought about last night and had a grim on his face. There was no doubt about it, she trusted him. That was the first step, which he made faster than he expected. And even though he didn't like emotions or tears, he had never thought he'd be such a great actor. She had actually BELIEVED his fake tears.

He realized that the kiss he gave her came unexpected. He gave her that kiss without even thinking about it. It felt strange, but he liked it. Her lips were so soft and...

He smacked himself in the face, it was wrong to think about her that way. He had to stick by the plan.

Before he walked to the rock slide, he stared at it from a distance. He saw Katara, waiting for him.

He didn't expect her to be that early. That just had to be a good sign.

He walked to her and smiled.

'Oh, you're here already!' he said happily. Katara nodded.

'Yeah, I just wanted to be early…'

Zuko sat next to her on the same rock as last night, and stared at her for a while. Katara noticed him doing that and blushed.

'Is there something wrong?' she asked. Zuko shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck.

'Not at all, sorry… I was just thinking, I mean, wondering how someone could have such a beautiful eyes.'

Katara blushed even more and stared at Zuko.

'Do you really think I have beautiful eyes?'

Zuko nodded and laid his hand on her cheek.

'I swear it! And such a pretty face, it's a piece of art!'

Katara averted her eyes. He seemed so serious about it.

'Thank you very much…' she said. 'You're the first one who ever said that to me.'

Zuko gasped.

'I am? You mean no one ever saw the beauty of your eyes?'

His face came closer to hers.

'They must be blind. Your eyes are colored in the most beautiful blue I have ever seen. It's more blue than any ocean on the world, than the sky on the most bright days, than the blue of the eyes of any girl that ever lived…'

He leaned forward slowly and pressed his lips on hers, leaving a warm, tender kiss. Katara felt a relaxing wave of fire running through her body, and closed her eyes.

Zuko pulled his head back, and smiled at Katara.

'And those must be the softest lips on earth.' he said. Katara nearly melted by his words, and she threw her arms around his neck. She kissed him roughly, and Zuko was shocked. He didn't knew she was going to do something like this.

But after a while, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss as well.
