Bad Timing

"Katara," Zuko said softly, gazing at the beautiful waterbender before his eye. "I have something I must confess."
"What is it Zuko?" Katara asked, wide-eyed with emotion. She had come to love her enemy due to a very odd situation which brought them together.
"I have a confession to make," the prince said, his eyes shifting from Katara's blue eyes to the ground. "Before we got in this whole mess, I was single-minded-ly obsessed with the Avatar. But, now that we've been together so long, I now feel an attraction towards you."
"Oh?" Katara asked, barely audibly. She was feeling the exact same way. It had been odd how much they found they had in common. From both being benders, to both knowing the Avatar.
"I love you," Zuko confessed just a moment after Iroh burst into the room.
"I love you too nephew," Iroh said grinning. The old man figured his nephew was just that happy to be rescued.
That's just weird, Katara thought to herself. Maybe it was because she herself never had an uncle or an aunt, but telling family members that you love them, for no apparent reason, seemed very weird to the waterbender.
