Jhdedfjed. I still think this story is going too fast. Imma try and slow it down summore. ^_^
[Katara's POV]
I'm mad at Zuko.
Last night he was apparently felt like being 'playful' so he thought he'd trip me ten times. And poke me, and tickle me. After I hit him with a water whip he stopped.
I'm sure at this point, Sokka is flipping out that he can't watch over me. He probably think I'm "deflowered." ahaha. I don't think I'm that comfortable with Zuko just yet. Maybe in the future.
I do want to get married. I want three kids, two boys and a girl. It probably won't happen like that, but I can dream an hope. I wonder if Zuko's thought of getting married and having kids… maybe he's thought of getting married to me. That thought put a smile on my face.
It's still nasty outside. Zuko said these storms could last up to a week.
Secretly, I hope it lasts more than a week. I like Zuko better when we're alone, he's so angry when he's around Aang, Sokka, Suki and Toph. But ever since we got in this cave, he's been kind of mysterious, and sexy. Which I don't mind of course.
Zuko was so cute when he slept. "katarrra" he mumbled in his sleep. I reached for his hand, and he took my hand in his and opened his eyes.
"You're beautiful, you know that.?" he smiled.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"You're still mad about last night, aren't you?" he asked.
"You think? I honestly hate being tickled and poked. And tripped. Thank you very much." I said proudly.
"Well then. I'm SO sorry I pissed off princess Katara." he mock-bowed.
"You should be sorry, prince skippy dippy Zuko!" I screamed at him.
"I don't know what I EVER saw in you, you're selfish and kind of obnoxious. Not gonna lie." he said in a snappy tone.
"Well you're hot headed jerk!" I poked his chest.
"Oh, so you can poke me, but I can't poke you? You're such a freaking hypocrite!" his body started to heat up with rage.
"In the words of my wise brother Sokka. YOU'RE A JERKBENDER!" I hit him with another water whip.
He just steamed it off. Typical.
"YEAH WELL." was all he said before he grabbed my hands and started to heat his body up.
"Owww. Zuko! You're hurting me!" I started to cry.
"Well maybe you'll finally felt what I've felt for the past year and a half." he started to get hotter.
"ZUKO. STOP IT."
[Zuko's POV]
Katara's voice started to fade as I had a flashback…
'"Mom! Do you wanna see how Azula feeds the turtle ducks?"
I threw a rock at the duck, just like Azula does. Then the stupid animal bit me.
"OWWWWW. Ow ow ow ow owww." I yelled.
"Zuko! don't do that!" she scolded me.
"Why did that stupd turtle duck bite me." I grumbled.
"It's what mothers do. If anything or anyone tries to hurt their baby… CHOP." she laughed.'
I came back to reality.
"ZUKO. PLEASE STOP.!" Katara screamed.
I let her go and fell to the ground. And cried. Hard.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?" she screamed at me.
"Katara." I paused. "I am so sorry." I cried even harder.
"Why…. Why are you crying?" she asked me.
"I miss her so much." I said in between sobs.
Katara automatically knew who I meant.
"I know you do." she said as she rubbed my back up and down.
"she didn't deserve to be banished or killed or whatever the hell happened to her."
"No she didn't. No one deserves to be killed without a reason…" Katara trailed off. Obviously referring to her own mother.
"What was your mothers name?" I asked her.
"Her name was Kya, she was married to my father, Hakoda. What's your mothers name?" she returned the question.
"Ursa." I told her.
"That's a beautiful name." she smiled at me.
"I know. She was a beautiful person too."
[Katara's POV]
I swear Zuko is bipolar. First he was all flirty, then he was horribly mean and now he's crying in my arms. He's worse than I am when my period comes.
"Zuko, I'm sorry for calling you those names. I didn't mean it. I was just mad." I whispered to him.
"I know you didn't mean it. I'm sorry too. I just have so much anger in me and I don't know why. I wish I wasn't like this. It's not fair to you. Not fair at all…" his breath ticked against my neck.
"I kinda don't want this storm to end. It's nice with just you. Even though we fight." I smiled at him.
"yeah. Everything's perfect, except one little thing." he stated.
"What's that?" I asked him confused.
"We have no food." he said emotionless.
"Oh. Right. So what are we supposed to do?" I asked him
"Try not to eat each other I guess." he smirked.
"ahaha. I really do like spending time with you. It's not like this with Aang. He wouldn't be this… mysterious and sexy." I said flirtatiously.
"He's twelve. He's not supposed to be sexy." he laughed.
"I guess not." I smiled at him.
"You have an adorable smile." he told me.
I blushed.
"thank you Zuko." I smiled.
He kissed me on the cheek.
"Maybe we should slow down a little, for the sake of our sanity." he told me.
I felt like a weight had been lifted off of me.
"I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much." he's so good to me, I thought.
[Zuko's POV]
I think it's a good idea that Katara and I are slowing down our relationship. It might make things easier.
Being a fire bender I can control myself more than other guys my age. fire bending requires patience and meditation. So whenever I saw a pretty girl I did my pre-meditation exercise, breathing in and out very slowly. It works, you should try it.
I find it harder to control myself around Katara though, she's just so freaking beautiful. Maybe if I put a sack over her head it would make it easier. Probably not, because she'd just get pissed at me.
It's actually kind of funny when she's mad, her eyes get all wide and she talks in a high-pitched voice. It can also be just plain obnoxious. Not gonna lie.
Katara's probably too good for me. I thought as I watched her sleep.
She's always beautiful. Her eyes sparkle when she smiles and when she waterbends, she does it with amazing control, it's breathtaking. Wow. I can't believe I actually used that word. I never use that word.
Thinking about Katara can apparently make me do extraordinary things. And say words I never say.
She makes me absolutely insane.
And every time I look at her, I fall harder for her.
I wonder if I'll ever meet her father. Hakoda, that was his name. he'd probably hate me. Most people do.
Not Katara.
Katara's different, she sees past my anger and hatred and sees the real me. Happiness, turmoil. Everything. It's amazing… she's amazing.
[Hakoda's POV]
I miss Katara and Sokka so much. The last time I saw them was at the eclipse. Katara is such a beautiful woman now. It's hard to realize that sometimes. And Sokka, he's a great man and he has a great girl at his side. Katara just needs a good man at her side. There have been many rumors that she and the Avatar are together, but they didn't seem like it. I always imagined her with a tall strong man. Maybe she has one now, if so, I really need to meet him.
I know Sokka and his girlfriend, Suki will get married one day. It's just Katara I'm worried about.
[Aang's POV[
It sucks watching Sokka and Suki being all lovey dovey. I've wanted to be like that with Katara for almost two years. And now, she's probably in some small cave with Zuko, making out.
I know I'm not supposed to fall in love and have a family. But it's hard to do that when you meet someone like Katara.
[Sokka's POV]
Maybe Suki and I shouldn't act like a couple around Aang. He looks so sad. But as much as I absolutely hate Zuko, he makes Katara happy and that's a great thing. But apparently Aang doesn't realize that. He should want her to be happy, is he loves her, he would do anything to make her happy.
He's actually kind of selfish in my opinion. But I'd never say that to his face. He'd just run away from his problems again. I hate it when he does that, it's immature and stupid. Again, I'd never tell him that.
[Toph's POV]
Aang is really starting to bug me.
He acts all depressed, so what he doesn't get to be with Katara, he's not supposed to fall in love, which I was upset about at first, but I did the mature thing. I GOT OVER IT. Unlike him.
At this point I don't think I'll ever fall in love. But that's okay because I'd rather fly solo.
HEHEHE. that's chapter nine. [: pleeeease read and reviewww. THANKS.
