This one is a modern AU. Enjoooy~


~Zutara Place Marathon~ - Beware of da STEAM XD

07 - Dressing Room

By: MrJensen, alias Last Butterfly


The seventh shop. Yes, he counted it. If you had been in his place, you would have done that too.

Katara dragged him from shop to shop, quickly got a hold of a dress or shirt or skirt or some other stuff, sometimes pushing it in his hands or just below his nose asking something like what did he think about it or would it fit with another type of clothing she already had… he always mumbled something as an answer, which sometimes made her smile, sometimes should have made her frown, but today… for some reasons she was in an utterly good mood… even though they hadn't bought anything. Well, at least not yet.

Not that he would mind this, no… he just started to get annoyed with her getting into the dressing rooms, spending there some time, then hurrying out without showing anything, then when he asked about the stuff she brought with her, she only shrugged and put them down. 'These looked horrible'. She said that… but she didn't give up on finding whatever she was looking for. So there they were. The seventh place…

He let out a frustrated sigh looking at his watch. Not that they should have hurried to anywhere, but he just counted the moments he lost from his life that day. Until…

He only looked up when Katara peeked out of the dressing room, calling out for him. He raised an eyebrow as she looked from left to right, then waved to him to make him come closer.

He took a deep breath, slightly even shaking his head, but he walked up to her nonetheless. "What have you…" Found? He wanted to ask, but when he got close enough a smirk appeared on her face, and without thinking, one of her hands reached out grabbing in his shirt, and with a swift move she yanked him in beside her. The next thing he knew he stood inside with his back pressing to the mirror opposite to the door while she made sure that it was properly closed.

She was still wearing her own clothes, the things she brought together hung on the wall, and he slightly frowned as they seemed untouched. Then… she turned back towards him with a mysterious smile upon her lips making him raise his only eyebrow. "Katara?"

She took a step closer to him, and put her arms around his neck while pressing her body to his, letting him feel all her curves. "Success…" She purred, and stood on her tiptoes while kissing him on the lips.

As the kiss deepened he couldn't suppress a low moan as one of her hands slowly trailed downwards upon his chest, but as she slowly moved to blow a kiss upon the sensitive skin of his left eye, he breathed a question. "Y-you… did you plan this…?" He felt her smile upon his skin.

She slowly pulled away, while her finger made semi circles upon his chest, and she bit her lower lip while looking up at him with her stunning blue eyes. "Oh please, why do you think I dragged you through so many shops?"

He answered with a frown. "Because… you like shopping?" He let out a slight chuckle as she poked him in the ribs. "No, really why...?"

She rolled her eyes. "You should have looked around closely instead of sulking." As his eyebrows furrowed, she let out a giggle, and kissed his cheek once before knocking on the wooden surface of the dressing room. "This here… is the best place. It's stabile and…" she waved towards the door. "Covers everything." She said twitching her eyebrows.

Zuko's good eye slightly rounded as he looked around the small place they were in, before returning her gaze with a surprised one. "Are you kidding?" As her smile returned, he only blinked before whispering. "You mean… here? Right… now?"

"Oh Zuzu…" Her eyes bore into his while she leaned so close to his lips that he felt her breath upon his skin, but then her smile turned into a smirk as her lips moved to his neck. "Sometimes you're so sweet…" She whispered before her lips made contact with his skin making him both shiver and feel extremely hot. When her hands wandered lower, she giggled in his neck as his hands slammed to the sides of the booth…

This was going to be fun…


A/N: I have good news ppl! :D I have officially finished university! ^___^ I've got my degree in computer science and engineering~ 3 So I can finally relax and forget all the stupid things which I've been taught. XD

Also I realized that I hadn't uploaded more from my "Zutara places marathon" that me and my friend laughed so much about last year. I still have some in stock, so tell me if you're interested in MOAR of the Zutara places~ ;D

Oh, and I wanted to say that I am opened for commissions! :D Even though I'm a slow, procrastinating, lazy person but my imagination NEEDS TO FEED. XD

So I would like you to give me tips, ideas, (or maybe links to pictures :) you liked or drawn yourselves) to help me and make the following chapters more interesting and/or personal! :)

Till the next time, have a nice day!

Ps.: Now that so many of you have proven your existance by helping me reach the 100 reviews then help me get closer to 200! MWUHAHA~ I knooow that you are out there! XD
