"You think you can beat me?"
She nodded challengingly. "At anything."
There was a moment of silence as he stared at her. Her glacier blue eyes stared him down unflinchingly, shimmering beautifully in the starlight. He noticed how her hair seemed to take on a surreal hue in the moonlight, it's usual chocolate richness shining like woven silver as it fell unbound down her back. Her dusty coca skin almost seemed glow. Despite his cool expression outside, inside he was secretly awed at how utterly breathtaking she looked right at this moment. He never believed anyone could ever look so beautiful at any time of day, let alone the dead of midnight.
"Anything?" he finally asked, softly. She was taken slightly aback by the gentle huskiness of his voice, the fiery, passionate look in his eye. She didn't let it show though. Still refusing to look away from his haunting golden stare, she nodded, standing a little straighter. To her utter and complete shock, he smiled. Smiled. Not smirked. Not grinned manically.
Smiled.
Her chest fluttered.
Then, he did the most impossible thing in the history of impossibilities. In two graceful strides he walked up to her, wrapped a arm around her waist, placed a hand in her hair, then, without looking away from her eyes once, he gently placed his hot lips over her own...and kissed her.
It was then that she realized she had just been bested. But as Prince Zuko's soft lips caressed her own tenderly, Katara realized that this was the moment, this was the time...that it just didn't matter anymore.
