Author's Note: I couldn't wait. So, here it is. I apologize if this is crap. It's getting late. I'll read over it again tomorrow. If it is terrible I'll redo it. :P Anyway! Say goodbye to canon as you know it! ;)
Behind Zuko and Katara the comet was staining the sky with flame. Clouds were burnt orange and deep reds. The waterbender would have called it beautiful, if it weren't the prelude to her World's destruction. She sat atop Appa, flying toward the Fire Nation Capital, firebender beside her. Occasionally she would turn her gaze from the landscape to look at the prince. His brow was crumpled as he thought hard about something.
"Zuko," she said when she figured out why he must be so upset. "Don't worry. We can take Azula."
"That's not what I'm worried about… Well, not entirely." There was something strange in his eyes when he looked up at her. It made it hard to breathe. "Katara, I… nevermind."
"What?"
"It's nothing." His golden eyes turned back down to study Appa's fur.
Katara lifted a hand from the reins. It touched his shoulder gently. "What?" There was a pleading in her voice that she hated. "You can tell me anything, Zuko."
The frown grew on his face. When he finally looked at her his eyes were burning with that new emotion. Suddenly his hands were twisting in her hair, pulling her lips to his roughly. Shock froze Katara for a moment. Then she melted, her free hand moving around to feel the strong muscles of Zuko's back. Her other hand released the reigns to wrap around his shoulders and pull him closer.
When they finally broke apart the prince gasped out, "I love you, Katara." His voice was husky. "I have for so long."
Katara's blue eyes opened wide and she felt her mouth open slightly. When she finally located the muscles she closed it before swallowing and saying, "I- I love you, too, Zuko."
Then his lips were on hers again.
