Kiss THIS!

Er…fluff?

30kisses challenge 29: the sound of waves

Initiative

"You were thinking about that kiss, weren't you?"

He turned and looked at her, his sole eyebrow raised at her curiously. In truth, he was not thinking so much about the kiss as he was the kisser, Katara. He had been knee deep in a daydream, which involved him and her and the ocean, and how the water reminded him of her eyes. If he thought about it long enough, he swore he could almost hear the sound of waves in the back of his mind, all spurred from a hazy fantasy.

"Not really, no." He said softly, watching with amusement as she walked towards him, coyly swaying her hips as she did.

"Then you must have been thinking about me, correct?" She leaned towards him, her eyes meeting his, and their noses almost touching. (How did she…?)

"Someone's awfully full of themselves today." He whispered back, rising from his meditative spot on the ground, his eyes never leaving hers.

"I was right, though, wasn't I?" She asked, lifting a hand to his cheek, caressing it softly. "You were thinking about me."

He leaned just a little closer to her, his breath warm on her face. "What makes you think that?"

She grinned. "You looked so happy I figured I had to be involved somehow."

He let out a small chuckle and pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Are you saying you're the only thing that makes me happy, Katara?"

"I dunno," She hit him lightly on the chest "Am I?"

"Maybe you are, maybe you aren't." He played with her hair. "I'll never tell."

They stayed like that for what seemed like eternity, just wrapped in each other's arms, basking in the sunlight and the warmth-filled peace of the moment. Who knew how long they had? Who knew how long it would last?

"I didn't just kiss you to get out of the cave, you know." She broke their small moment of peace—he didn't speak, only watched her inquisitively. Why was she bringing this up now? "I just knew that was how you got out of there…Really, I just wanted to kiss you." She ran a hand through his hair, grinning as she did. "I'd kiss you now, in fact."

Their lips were almost touching. "What's stopping you?"

"I don't know." She caressed his face gently. "Maybe I'm just waiting for you to take the initiative to do something for onc—" But Zuko's lips crashing into her own stopped her.

"Like that?"

She smiled. "Yeah, like that."
