(A/N Zuko and the gang, while not traveling together, are not hating eachother anymore. Bear with me, k?)
It is all my fault.
You say no, you shake your head, but really, it is.
I was foolish to buy that love potion.
It was for Aang. In those senses, the potion was perfect.
Thus far, Aang has tried to kiss me four times today. This, yesterday, would have been fabulous. Now it's just gross. I see now that Aang and I are totally platonic.
Anyways, yeah. This is an utter fiasco. Because, me, being stupid, decided to add xiam root because I thought it had romantic properties, and now the entire village we're staying in is fighting over me. It's flattering, yes, but kind of annoying.
It is ALL my fault.
And to make matters worse, a certain fire prince is here.
And he wasn't affected by the potion. He has been my savior, warding of hoardes of young men for me. Okay, so not really, and I still don't really like him so much, but he's looking better than Aang at this point.
He is with me right now, as we are hiding in a cupboard from 6 boys, who are presently fighting over who should kill Zuko so that they might then fight to the death for me. How...gory. If these boys want my heart, they aren't getting far. Wait a minute...I just noticed...This broom closet is terribly small. Zuko has his arms are around me.
This makes me somewhat happy now. I hear the other boys walk away from the closet. We don't move. I wonder if it's because we are both petrified or we are both comfortable in each others arms. I do appear to fit very well.
"Katara...?" He is whispering to me.
"Zuko...I am so sorry..."
"Don't be. I am glad this happened."
"What? Why?"
"Because then I would have no reason to stand this close to you."
"...oh."
This may be all my fault, but I am leaning in to kiss him now, and I sort of glad this is happening to me. Now, to deal with the havoc outside...
Oh screw it. This is way too nice to leave.
