Zuko's SnowJob

by moor

Zuko x Katara. Modern AU. Prompt: Snowmobile. As part of his atonement for past transgressions, Zuko is banished to the Water Tribe on a PR assignment from Hell, only to come face-to-face with the reason he fell from grace a decade before. Some things have changed, but ocean-blue eyes definitely have not.

"Prince Zuko?"

"Uncle! What are you doing here?"

"I understand you're having lady troubles?"

"No! Well… Not exactly—it's more like… She's stubborn."

"Funny thing that."

"I think she's ignoring me."

"Prince Zuko, she didn't put herself into a coma to avoid you. I think that's a bit… presumptuous. And conceited."

"How do I get her to snap out of it, though, Uncle? I keep trying to find things that will trigger a reaction in her; I'm worried I'm going to run out of things to say soon."

Iroh watched his nephew run a frustrated hand through his dark hair, and let out a deep sigh.

"Let's have your mother join Katara for a bit, I'm sure she'd like some womanly company for a change. We need to go for a walk. Is there a spot nearby to get tea?"
