A/N: School starts in about a week, so the updates are going to be A LOT slower. Please review, or I'll send out Zuko and/or Katara! X.X
Zuko inwardly grinned, but looked at her, intrigued about the request. He came with some possible answers as to why she went out of her way to ask, and his face grew red, the area around him suddenly becoming hot, like the fire feels when you're up close, the warmth beating down on your face.
Pakku had a serious face, for even though he tested Zuko on how well he could protect his granddaughter, he still did not want him sleeping with his family/student. "Whatever you want, Katara. We only had two rooms left."
Katara nodded. "Thank you. I just didn't want to take up to much residence here, that's all!" she told Pakku truthfully, a wide smile glued to her face. Truly, that was her real intention, but when she said it she knew it would sound wrong.
'So, do you have anything in mind, babe?' Zuko asked, smiling, his arm around her small waist.
She turned to glare at him. 'Don't be so stupid,' she chastised him. 'I just wanted to take up as few space as possible. Besides,' she turned, looking straightforward. 'Although I miss sleeping against your dragon body, I would like to see how it feels when we're in a bed.'
'I would to.'
'Shut up!'
'I'm not even talking,' Zuko smirked. Katara didn't respond, deciding to ignore his childish behavior, which in truth she found quite cute. However, as he kept talking to her, she got frustrated and stormed off, looking for the room she had asked Pakku for directions for.
Zuko sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Then, a thought occurred to him. "Master Pakku, can you tell me something?"
xXx
Katara flopped onto the waterbed, the whole bed squishing as she did so. It was powder blue with the white Water Tribe insignia. Furs hung all around the icy room. In front of her were two Water Tribe spears that made an "x" on the wall. There were so many things that reminded her of home, where she was born, the life she had left behind so long ago.
The only she missed was the penguin sledding. She smiled to herself, remembering so many times as three-feet tall she would slide down the icy slopes. Sometimes she would even fall into a pile of snow, giggling when she pried herself away. Katara chuckled, remembering that no matter what had happened to her, she would always go penguin sledding again. 'I wonder what similar activities I could do here…'
Knock. "Came I come in?" a gentle voice sounded from the entrance. There was no door, only a soft blue curtain, so the person had knocked inside the room. She opened her eyes, a soft smile gracing her pink lips. The waterbender gave him a gentle nod.
"Where have you been?" she asked, the melody in her voice singing a sweet song.
"Oh, just learning a thing or two from your master," he grinned at her.
She narrowed her eyebrows, then lifted one above the other. "What were you learning from-" a giant flop on the bed stopped her sentence. The bounce was so tremendous she hovered in the air for a split second before squishing onto the bed, laughing with her firebender. "You're so childish, you know that, Zuko?"
He laughed, a hand stroking the side of her face. Both were on their sides, facing each other, smiling into pools of honey or oceans of blue. "I love you," he said, a gentle mouth pressing against the waterbender's.
She whispered softly, "I love you too, Prince Zuko." A caramel hand entwined with his hair, pulling him closer to her. Zuko snaked his arm around her waist, the other around her neck. Katara's hand gently rested on his shoulder, mouths never separating from each other. The bed swished with every movement they made, even when a pale hand unzipped the back of a dress…
An hour later
"Miss Katara," a faint voice said from outside. Katara sat up, gripping the blanket to her exposed chest. "Yes?"
"There is a banquet being held in your honor in fifteen minutes, and Chief Arnook would appreciate if you were to join us," the messenger said.
The girl with the messy hair grinned at the man with the disarrayed hair. He smiled at her through half-lidded eyes, for the energy he had used for the day had put him into a state of exhaustion. "We'll be there," Katara told him, never taking eyes off of the dragon.
"We??" the messenger questioned, but decided to leave anyway, having completed his quest.
