"You didn't pull away." He whispered as he pulled out of her kiss, his breathing ragged and torn. She smiled at him wily, her eyes wide with amusement.
"Should I have?" She asked coyly, leaning her forehead against his. "Are you telling me not to kiss you again?"
"No." He said shortly, as if the mere idea of her leaving terrified him. "No, that's not it…I just wasn't expecting you to kiss me back, that's all."
She ran a hand through his hair, playing with it as she did. "But the real question is…do you want me to kiss you again?"
Zuko let out a stream of curses as she continued to (mockingly) play with his hair. (How did it get so long…?)
"I'm sorry, but what did you say?" She grinned. "I'm afraid I didn't quite understand you."
He smirked at her, his gold eyes gleaming bemusement as he pulled her closer to him. He kissed her gently before pulling back again, this time a hint of mischief in his voice. "I said 'Yes', damnit."
Katara smiled widely. "That's what I was hoping you said." She spoke before continuing what he had started.
It was good having him wrapped around her finger, after all.

XO I'm dead. Just so you know. 0o I had another wedding again last night, and graduation (not mine, thankfully, but everyone elses, it seems) is coming up soon. I also have two research papers due soon and semester tests to look forward to. I will try to keep updating, but I can't make any promises.
(this drabble was a spur-of-the-moment idea, a non-challenge anything. Just a drabble)
