"Zuko, why don't you try to sleep?"
"Why don't you?"
The group was resting in a rock tent Toph had constructed at the start of the storm, which was currently blowing at full blast. The others were sound asleep, minus the two teenagers.
Katara leaned back and smiled.
"I like the rain."
"Hmph."
She glanced at him.
" 'Hmph' what?"
He rolled his eyes.
"Nothing. It makes sense, I guess. You being..a waterbender and all."
She nodded.
"I always just..The rain makes me..happy."
Zuko smirked.
Katara glared at him.
"Well, you're a firebender. Don't you like the fire?"
He scoffed. "What do you think?"
She rolled her eyes.
"So, why exactly aren't you sleeping?"
He looked at her, a glint in his eye. Then he stood up and walked over to her, sitting beside her.
"Keeping you company, of course. You don't mind, right?" He grinned.
Katara smiled as her hand gently covered his.
"No, not at all."
--
The Fire Lord groaned.
"Katara, come to bed."
"I will... in a minute."
Zuko groaned again. They had been married for a few weeks now, and she never ceased to surprise him.
"It's just rain, Katara. Jeez, you'd think it was pouring down priceless gems, instead of water."
She looked at him, annoyed.
"I like the rain, the water."
He sighed. Then he got up and walked over to her, smiling.
"I know. But I like you more."
And with that, he threw his wife over his shoulder and carried her to bed.
teehee. Zuko carrying Katara...to bed. ;) See, I couldn't decide to write this scene with them married or as teenagers. So I did both :D
