"I saved your life."

This came from a smirking waterbender, who had her hands on her hips and was, teasing their newest member of the group. Her dark skin clashed with her white undergarments, as she extended a hand to help the firebender up.

"So?"

The firebender grumbled, hating the fact that it was true. They were on vacation on Kyoshi Island. Sokka was off probably making out with Suki, Aang had taken Toph to practice earthbender (which was something he's been doing a lot…) and so he was left to with Katara on the beach.

This wasn't a bad thing to him.

For some reason, Aang had talked him into riding elephant koi there. Zuko being Zuko decided to try it. And after screaming his head off (which he prayed to Agni nobody heard) and nearly getting eaten by the Unagi, Katara saved his life. He thanked the spirits his mother had taught him how to swim. No son of hers was going to fall off a boat and drown. But in this case, a giant, fat, fish.

He grabbed her hand, and was helped to his feet. He wouldn't admit it, but he was impressed. The way she screamed out his name when he fell off the fish and that giant thing came after him. He remembered her on a giant wave, bringing the water he was desperately trying to float on near to her. And she grabbed him, pushing them back to the shore with swift movement of her hand controlling the water he was barely able to swim in. Water was such a gentle…cooling element. But in the hands of this mastered waterbender or the strength of those crashing waves that made it hard for him to just keep his head over, it was deadly.

"I don't deserve a thank you? Or something to show your undying gratitude?"

He rolled his eyes and let a smile form on his lips, matching the smile on Katara's face.

"Thanks."

He muttered this, his eyes staring at their feet. Katara didn't take that. Hands back on her hips, she cleared her throat. Her long hair was down and loose, waves of hair flowing down her back.

"I think you should do something for me. Because I deserve it!"

Her last words were teasing him, in a sing song voice. He looked up at her, raising his only eyebrow.

"What should I do to show my undying gratitude?" Making sure to emphasize on his words, his sarcasm was teasing her right on back. He watched as the waterbender circled him, a hand on her chin as if she was concentrating. His eyes followed her, as she continued to circle around his nervous body.

"Hm. You probably can't cook. Just like Sokka you don't seem like the type to know how to do laundry. I have nothing for you to lift or carry. And…you really don't seem like the type to go shopping with me." Her observations were done with a smile, as she finally stopped in front of him. He crossed his arms, not liking the big grin on her face.

"I've got it. I know what you can do for me." Katara lifted a hand, smirking at him.

But Zuko didn't seem to hear her. He was staring at her face, his mind lost in a world of it's own. His eyes traveled from her long hair…he just wanted to run his hand across it. What was wrong with him? He would try to listen to her words but instead he found himself hypnotized by her gorgeous eyes. They matched the ocean behind her, and the crashing waves. Her dark skin was perfect and flawless. Her lips so precious and open for him to…

He had the sudden urge to do something.

And he did.

"So you can give me a—what the heck are you doi—MPHH!"

He kissed her in mid sentence, grabbing her face and bringing her lips to his. He felt her stiffen under her grasp, but she quickly relaxed. And when she started to run her fingers through his hair and moan, and he found his hands on her waist, he took that as a good thing.

Tearing away from their passionate kiss, Katara stared him in the face. He stared right back, a blush appearing on his face. Smirking, the waterbender ran her fingers from his head down to the back of his neck.

"I was going to say you can give me a foot rub. But this will do."

And like wild animals, they pounced on each other, locking their lips as if it was the end of the world. And it probably was going to be, once Sokka found them. But he was busy probably doing the same exact thing. After moments of somehow ending up on the sand and Zuko was on top, he whispered huskily in her ear.

"I'll give you that foot rub, later. When we're not busy."

Katara smirked, rolling over so she was on top. A hand on his chest, she placed a finger on his lips. Kissing his forehead, she flashed him a smile. Now it was her turn to whisper to him. Katara was not going to let him win the domination so easy.

"Oh shut it, Zuzu. Now kiss me, loverboy."

And he did, with pleasure.
