The snow crunched under Katara's feet.
It was good to be home.
But this visit home was a bit...different.
Because Katara had brought home her new boyfriend.
Zuko.
She blushed, even though there was no one around, at the thought. The firebender was her first boyfriend who hadn't been a waterbender.
Scratch that. He was her first boyfriend, period.
But even though she had assured him that he was not their enemy here, he had still layed low the entire visit.
"Zuko?" She called. No response.
Katara sighed. "Zuko, where are you?"
The waterbender gasped as she felt an arm reach around from behind and pull her close.
"Don't yell." He said softly. "It's unbecoming."
Katara laughed and turned to face him. She placed a hand on his face.
Why, she pondered, are firebender so warm?
"Why did you sneak up on me?"
He blinked innocently.
"I did no such thing. You just didn't hear me."
She laughed and rested her head on his shoulder. Katara had quickly learned that, if given the chance, Zuko could be hilarious.
"Why are you so quiet?" She asked him.
He didn't respond immedeately, proving her point.
"..I don't like it here."
Katara gasped at him, offended.
"Why!?"
He smirked. Then sighed. "No one likes me."
She scoffed. "Really, Zuko. I thought you were sick or--"
"I'm serious."
She looked at him, her brow furrowed.
"But.."
He sighed. "No matter what you tell people, I'm still the prince of the Fire Nation."
Katara scoffed. "It's because you never talk. They think you're haughty."
Zuko raised an eyebrow. "They told you that?"
"No, but I can tell."
"So you think I'm haughty?" He teased.
The waterbender laughed and kissed his cheek.
"Might as well be. Anything else wrong with the Water Nation?"
"...It's cold." He grinned.
"Well, forgive us for not having a fire in our souls, your princeliness." She giggled.
Katara grasped his hand and walked toward the village.
"Where are we going?"
She turned, and Zuko noticed how beautiful she looked. Her hair was tousled by the wind. Her dark cheeks were slightly flushed. Her smile practically made him melt.
"Home."
