I'm Coming Home.

Zutara One Shot/Mini Story for Valentines Day.

Part 4.

The song is: Enrique Iglesias Ft Nicole Scherzinger – Heartbeat.

Zuko's POV:

"I want to know everything that you did. What you started with first and what happened after that." I smiled at her.

I laid against the tree with my arm around her, listening to every word she said. Her voice was beautiful.

Your stealing my heart away.
Stop stealing my heart away.

"Well first we helped with the people who needed it most. I went round helping all the un-well people and then made houses out of ice. I had help from Master Pakku who was there with Gran Gran and a few of his students had come too. After all the young and elderly were in there new homes we started making pathways and long rivers, a bit like the Northern Water Tribe. Once that was over we moved onto the final house; the grand palace where my dad, Gran Gran, Pakku and Sokka are living right now. I have a room there if I ever go to the South Pole."

I was amazed by how much Katara had done in just one year. "Wow, the palace must have taken a while."

I don't know where we're going.
I don't know who we are.

"Yeah it took 6 months, all the rooms and the meeting room. As soon as it was all over we had to have a few meetings, I had to attend otherwise I would have been here quicker. Dad's still Chief but Sokka will be taking over after dad retires. Sokka is thinking of proposing to Suki soon he's already started carving the necklace. But only you and I know."

"Wow, that's truly amazing, I understand with the meetings. Sokka's gonna make a joke then ask her, I can tell. Do you miss anything though?"

I can feel your heartbeat.

"I miss being with the family, the cold because it's very humid here but I'll get use to it."

We smiled at each other, our eyes locked; I couldn't stop staring at those ocean eyes.

Then she spoke, "The one thing I don't miss though is being alone at night. It was the coldest year at the South Pole, so I didn't have a fire bender to keep me warm at night."

It started to get late and the sun was starting to set.

"Well I'm going to change that." I smiled at her.

She glared at me followed with a teasing voice "Oh really? And how are you going to do that?"

I got up, "Like this." I picked up Katara and walked towards the palace.

Katara giggled and squealed, "Let go of me!"

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that."

I walked through the corridors still carrying Katara in my arms. I held her close and she buried her face into my chest.

You got me dreaming like a fool.
I can steal your heart away.

"Psst! Kenny" I whispered.

"Yes Zuko?" he came over to me.

"Tell the cook not to worry about dinner, he has served me well so far and he deserves an early night."

"Yes my Lord." And with that Kenny walked towards the kitchen.

I carried on walking till I finally got to my room.

"Y'know I wasn't really asleep." Murmured Katara.

"I know, but you're rather tired and you looked it."

Give my heart away.
Stop trying to steal my heart away.

With that I put Katara down and she went to the bathroom, to change into her nightwear. I took off my shoes, my robe and took out my crown. I got into some baggy shorts and waited for her to come out.

I can feel your hearbeat.
I can feel your hearbeat…

She finally came and I hugged her and pulled her to the bed. I kissed her forehead; I was so happy that Katara was here with me. I held her close to me; which she accepted and hugged me. I didn't let go and neither did Katara.

…running through me.
