Random idea here. Implied Zutara. Kinda long.

Idiot

It had happened all to fast. Too fast for Katara. The scene replayed in her mind, the details were blurry but that didn't erase the fact she was freaking out right now.

First Azula had shown up and attacked them. Things weren't going so well, considering the fact it was a surprise attack. And through the long gruesome fight, the screaming, and all the blood and sweat, it only took one move to end it all.

Azula just had to lightning bend. That Fire Nation witch, Azula.

Zuko just had to redirect the lightning. That Fire Nation idiot, Zuko.

And of course that idiot let it pass through his heart. When they saw him shoot that lightning from her fingertips to the sky, they all couldn't help but feel proud. But when he clutched his chest and fell to the ground, Katara was ready to kill Azula. Without hesitation, Aang attacked her with every little bit of strength he had, knocking her down. When she was down, they took that moment to escape. Jumping on Appa, their attention was on someone else.

Zuko.

They screamed at her, "Heal him, Katara! You have to!" But the waterbender sat on her knees in front of his limp body and was ready to burst out sobbing. "I can't! I don't know how...it went through his heart..."

One look. That was all it took. One look into Iroh's face and she had to find a way. She could see his whole history in his eyes. He had lost a son. His brother was given the son he was supposed to have. Zuko was all he left. No one should lose two sons in a lifetime. Glancing at her friends, who whose faces were grim and anguished. How could they lose Zuko? He was practically family to them now...

One last look into his still face, and that was all it took. She had to do it for herself. What would she do without him? Nothing. She would not be able to go one without him. Who would insult her? Who would she tease? They understood each other, and they had something. Neither would ever admit it, but they felt something for each other.

With a grunt of fury, she grabbed her waterskin and through it aside roughly on the flying bison's saddle. Her friends watched her action's with confusion. Katara placed her ear on his chest where his heart was supposed to beat. Moving her hands up to his mouth, she opened it ready to do anything to save him. With his mouth open, she placed hers there giving him the breath of life. She was not kissing him, but instead, giving him the air that he needed desperately. Giving this firebender mouth-to-mouth she removed her mouth and placed her hands on his chest. A hand over her fist she slammed them down on his un-beating chest hoping to revive this exiled Prince.

"Zuko you idiot! BREATHE!"

Why did she scream at him? She needed to keep her sanity, even if she was losing it every waking moment. Katara had to do something to keep herself from crying. Even though she was oblivious to the trails of tears falling down her face. Repeating the same process, she continued to scream at him.

"Please do something! Insult me! Fire bend! Burn me for Spirit's sake! Live, you idiot!"

Opening his mouth, she continued to puff air into his unbreathing mouth. Moving her crying eyes to his chest, she placed one hand where his heart is and the other on top. Arms straight she used her entire weight to push down and give him life.

It was a horrid sight to see Katara in this state. Her hair was a mess, as well as her face. Tears were showered across her face and she screaming at the top of her lungs. The waterbender did everything in her power to revive him, but it seemed useless. They did not try to stop her, if they tried, they doubted she would stop. Without knowing it, anger rushed through her veins even with the tears falling down her face. With a angry grunt, Katara slammed her fist down on his chest. Hard.

"Don't die you idiot! How can you do this to us?! How can you do this to me?!"

And if you had blinked, you might not have seen the said firebender give a grunt of pain. He cracked open his eyes, staring into the face of an enrage but sobbing waterbender. There it was. She had done it, bringing his heart back to life. He nearly passed out when Katara smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, crying out something about how he was an idiot, how worried she was, and how she would kill him next time he tried a stunt like that. As the entire grouped huddled together for a hug, Zuko couldn't help but wonder one thing.

Why in Agni's name did he have bruises on his chest?

I was hoping to make this dramatical, but humor got in the way. XD

Hope you liked it.
