It had been Sokka's idea, a way of relaxing a bit after a long day of training. They all laughed as Toph had to kiss Suki and Sokka had to kiss Aang. Then it was Katara's turn. She spun and held her breath, hopping this wasn't going to end badly. The bottle started to slow and finally stopped pointing at Zuko. She looked at him and blushed then looked down.
"This is stupid, I don't want to play anymore," Aang said. He jumped up and ran off, Sokka followed after him.
"I'm gonna go for a walk." Katara announced, Zuko chose to follow her and fell in step next to her.
"We're you going to kiss me?" Zuko finally asks after they reached the beach.
They sat down on a piece of driftwood and watched the waves crash onto the beach. He thought about asking the question again, or trying to change the subject, but before he could she brought their lips together in a soft and tentative kiss.
When they pulled apart his eyes were wide and she almost laughed at him, until their lips met again and this time the kiss was deeper. They clung onto each other until they were forced to break away and catch their breath.
"Yes, but I'm glad we didn't have an audience," Katara said.
