I've always respected some cheap romance, you? Anyway, here is when Zuko sees a complete other side from Katara, and the other way round, but we all know Zuko, love rather scares him. Soooo…

Chapter 2

Leave me alone!

Later that day, Zuko walked on the deck. He stared over the ocean and enjoyed the heat of the sundown. Every night, he went out to see the sundown, his entire life long. And the best about those moments, were that he was all alone then. Nobody disturbing, nobody annoying, and nobody to break the silence…

Aang saw Zuko and waved happily.

'Hi Zuko! What are you doing?' he yelled.

Zuko sighed deeply.

'Trying to stay away from you and your friends.' he answered, while glaring at Aang.

Aang understood the message and sighed.

'Ok, I get it, I'll leave you alone then.'

He went to the other side of the ship and Zuko hung over the railing, sunken away in thoughts.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sokka and Katara sat on the roof, where Appa was trying to recover. It's leg was broken by the fireball Zuko shot at him, and the bison moaned all the time.

Sokka hugged Appa, and Katara stared at Zuko.

'He seems so lonely.' she said.

Sokka shrugged.

'So? He wants to be alone, so no wonder that he feels that way.'

Katara sunk away in thoughts.

She saw the look in Zuko's eyes. It was so depressing, it reminded her of Sokka the day their mother died.

She looked at Sokka, who was busy hugging Appa. She grabbed her chance and climbed of the roof.

Once she was at the deck, Zuko noticed her.

He bit on his lip, she came standing next to him.

She stared at Zuko, but Zuko tried to ignore her.

Katara sighed.

'What's wrong?' she asked, with caution for the prince's hands, expecting to get a fireball flamed to her head.

Zuko didn't answer or react. Katara was standing on the right side of him, so she only saw the scar less side of his face.

For the first time, she saw how he would look without the scar.

Zuko felt her eyes, she was staring at him. He couldn't help to blush, having no idea what blushing actually felt like, so he quickly looked at the left.

Katara smiled.

'You have a nice ship. And your crew is nice too, they all like Aangs jokes.'

Zuko rolled his eyes.

'Jokes? What kind of jokes then?'

Katara giggled.

'Two pizzas are in the oven. One of them says:"God, it's hot in here!" and the other pizza says:"Eek! A talking pizza!'

Zuko couldn't help to laugh, just as Katara.

When he noticed he laughed, he gasped. Katara smiled.

'That's the first time I've seen you laugh.'

Zuko sighed and averted his eyes.

'Lame joke.' he lied.

Katara rolled her eyes.

'But you did laugh.'

Zuko bit his lip again, and confessed then.

'Okay, I laughed. Happy now?'

Katara nodded with a smile.

Zuko smiled back, and gasped for the second time in a record time.

'Did I just smile at her?'

Katara felt like a cloud, she made him smile!

Zuko felt a warmth inside, it felt like when he practiced his firebending, but than much more relaxing.

He had a good look at Katara.

She seemed so beautiful that night. The wind was playing with her hair, and her dress softly danced along. Her shiny, blue eyes where the most beautiful ones he has ever seen, and then he realized she was staring at him as well.

He came back to normal and noticed Katara was standing very close to him. And no matter how much he hated to blush, he did it again. She was the only one who ever made him blush so many times in one single day, it was kind of confusing. He couldn't think of a other way…

He pushed her roughly aside and walked to his room, losing his temper.

'Leave me alone!' he shouted.

Katara fell back because of the push, and she saw how Zuko left. Confused as she was, she crawled back up and sighed.

'He'll never change.'
