He never did listen. It was a problem of his, something that he was cursed with. It would just fly through his ear and out the other. He would do anything but listen, and he had a habit of doing what others told him; and not what he wanted. Ignore and act. That was what he did. And Katara knew this from experience. As she argued with him, all she could think about was how he wasn't listening to a word she said.

"Why are you being so difficult!? This is my choice, not any of your business!"

Katara threw her hands down, knuckles white as she rolled them into fists. As he yelled at her, she could only think about his words. None of her business? Oh yes it was. Throwing her hands in the air, she stepped forward and yelled back at the said firebender.

"You don't understand anything! Maybe if you just listened for once and took a moment to think about it, you would see what a big mistake you're making!"

She had no choice but to step back, as he threw his arms back at her and she swore she could see the fire burning in his eyes. His golden eyes burned through her watery blue pair, and she stepped back weakly. His voice boomed as she could do nothing but stare back at him.

"Katara! Why do you even care!? I don't need to listen to you!"

And that was it. That was all it took. At that very moment, she realized something as she stared into his eyes. She had known it all along, but it was at this she realized, why she cared. It had been in the back of her head the whole time, the idea cowering in dust. But now, it exploded in her chest. With two slow trails of tears, she yelled back at him with all the might she had managed to scramble up.

"Why?! Why do I care?! Because…because…"

And fiercely, she turned so her back was facing him. Katara had to say it. Even if it would hurt so much. But that didn't matter. Because this was the only moment and only chance she would have. Katara knew more than anything how much this was going to hurt but she did it anyway, even if he didn't listen. Now or never.

"..I've….fallen in love with you!"

A small sob escaped from her lips, as she stepped forward to abandon this conversation. What had she done? What had she said?! Katara began to make her pace faster, to just escape him. It was now she wished she could disappear, turn invisible, anything. What would he do, yell at her more, make fun of her, or worse, ignore her forever?

Instead he did none of these. Grabbing her wrist and spinning her around, he pulled the crying waterbender into a kiss.

And for once he had listened and let his heart do the actions.

I like this one a lot: D

Okay people, listen up. I am thinking of starting a real story. I have an idea in mind, and the plot will revolve around this chapter you just read! If I do start it, my drabbles will still be updated but not quite so much or so often.

What do you think? Would do read my story and review? Would you be interested…?
I have an idea of what their talking about, but I'm still playing around with the idea for my future story. What do you think they are talking about? What do you think is Zuko's 'choice'? I want to hear your opinions, perhaps get a better idea for my story. You tell me in your review or message me if it's long! I want to hear your thoughts: D
