AN//: Hey, Here is my first attempt at any Zutara stuff. I decided to take on the Zutara 100 challenge (I know- that's a little ambitious). I probably won't write them all in order, but I will put which Prompt number it is before I start the chapter.
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Pairing: Zuko and Katara
Rating: M (to be on the safe side)
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever owned any piece of A:TLA. If I did, the ending would not have happened the way the writers wrote it. For one thing, Ozai and Azula would be dead. For another Kataang would not exist. (be honest, if we saw a "ten years later" segment, they would have broken up and we all know it.)
K , heads up, these next few go with 01. Beginnings. This one comes before and the next one comes right after.
Zutara 100 number: 24. Eyes
Enjoy!
Eyes
It was her eyes, he decided. Those big beautiful blue eyes. That's what first drew him to her. They were the same color as the water she so effortlessly controlled. And they were so expressive. They shown when she was happy, dimmed when she was sad, burned in her anger, and glowed with her desire.
That's what had first drawn him in, what had first pulled him into her web. Those damned, humongous, luminous eyes.
He ducked his head quickly when her eyes darted in his direction, ashamed to be caught staring again. He knew that if he didn't leave soon, there would be no way he would ever leave her side. "Zuko?" her voice floated to him lightly. He stood abruptly, staring resolutely at the floor and trying to keep his thoughts under control. He couldn't afford start wondering what her eyes would look like when she came around him.
"I'm going to go take a bath," he said gruffly, quickly heading to the bathing chamber in an effort to avoid her. Maybe his dreams would finally leave him alone if he just spent less time around the waterbender.
As he disappeared around the corner, he heard her light sigh before he roughly closed his ears to all noise. He couldn't think about her, he couldn't afford to. Especially not about her eyes.
