Fire and Ice

Chapter 50

Zuko lounged on one of the love seats, as female servants giggled as they fed him fruit.

Katara rolled her eyes, actually feeling the slightest tinge of jealousy. She was sitting in the shallow pool next to Zuko's arm chair; she rested her arms on the edge and then her chin on her arms. The light was fading fast and she felt herself drifting off to sleep.

"Zuko" She mumbled into her flesh.

He waved the servant girls away and cocked his head sideways, a playful smirk on his face.

Katara didn't open her eyes she mumbled again.

"What?" Zuko asked, genuinely curious. Katara mumbled something that vaguely sounded like "come here" he chuckled and crossed his ankles, then his arms behind his head.

"Why?"

She opened one eye and glared. Then seeing that he wasn't coming she sat up , bringing a majority of the water with her.

Zuko's eyes raked over the now-sheer white fabric. Katara gasped and jerked her hands down to cover herself, the water that had been previously floating above her head crashed down.

Zuko nearly fell out of his chair laughing.

Katara growled and parted the curtain of hair, and lifting the water again and shooting it at Zuko.

He yelped and dove for cover, but not quick enough. The water crashed down onto him, and he glared at her accusingly.

"Katara . . ." a growl ripped from his throat as he stood and stalked towards her, steam emanating from his soaked form. He stepped into the water as she glared defiantly up at him; daring a violent reaction.

As soon as he was a foot in front of her, he snatched both arms and cracked a smile. She gasped as his anger had been a ploy to get near her; he swiped her feet from under her and shoved her under the water with his weight.

She struggled briefly before his lips met hers and they kissed until the air was forced from their lungs.

They came up gasping and he grabbed her again, she laughed as he held her and kissed the side of her neck.

"I love you" he whispered

She sighed "I love me too" and giggled.

Zuko chuckled and scooped her up and climbed out of the pool as she screeched and giggled trying to get out of his arms.

He set her down and heated his body temp so as to dry off, while Katara bent the water off of her and mad her way towards the wicker-bed thing. She clambered up onto it and sighed at its lushness, the mattress was made entirely out of goose down feathers.

Zuko climbed up next to her and cuddled her into his arms, they watched the sun set.
