Hey, so I decided to not put these oneshots in chronological order. Also, if a name is italicized, that means the chapter or portion of the chapter is in that character's POV. These last two have been in Katara's POV. There will be chapters in Zuko's POV. I don't know which ones, but I can assure you there will be chapters with him telling the story. Sorry for any confusion.

Day Two: Luminous-Emitting or reflecting light
Katara
"Thanks again for helping me find my mother's killer," I say to Zuko as we sit in front of the campfire on our way home from finding that killed my mom.
"No need to thank me, Katara," he says. "Closure is sometimes the greatest gift a person can give someone."
"I just don't know why I couldn't kill him," I say with an exasperated sigh. "I know I can never forgive him, but why can't I end him?"
"I guess that's just one of life's many mysteries," Zuko says.
"But I know who I can forgive," I say. "I've forgiven you, Zuko."
He looks at me with shock evident on his face. I go over and hug him. After a bit, he hugs me back.
"Thank you, Katara."
"I think I should be the one thanking you."
I pull away and meet his eyes as I sit down beside him. I smile and look up at the sky. I see glowing dots and suddenly become curious.
"What are those things, Zuko?" I ask.
"What things?" he asks.
"Those glowing dots floating around everywhere," I say.
"Oh! Those are fireflies," he tells me.
"They're beautiful, aren't they?" I ask.
"Yeah," Zuko says.
We continue looking up at the sky until I fall asleep.
Sorry! Short chapter! But I was a bit lost on what else to write when it comes to this prompt. Love you lots!
