Round Two, begin!

Momentous:

"I love you." It wasn't a question, nor a confession, but a statement.

"Z-Zuko..." She began with tears forming in her eyes. "You can't... You can't love me."

The man standing before her attempted to calm his labored breathing, before succumbing to his desperation.

"Why?" He nearly shouted. "Why am I not able to love you? How come I can't show you exactly what you mean to me!"

Katara clenched her fists at her sides. She raised her cerulean eyes, eyes full of defiance, to stare at the Fire Lord.

"Because!" She screamed, hot tears streaking down her face. "Because, Zuko! You can't love me! You're the Fire Lord, and I'm the Avatar's fiance! We aren't little kids anymore, we aren't teenagers anymore! We have duties to fulfill, responsibilities to own up to! No matter how many regrets we have, we've made our decision! You have to be Fire Lord, and I have to marry Aang! Our feelings don't matter anymore! Not everyone gets a happy ending. You can't love me, and I can't love you. I don't love you!"

Silence filled the air as their gazes remained locked, their hearts stuck in an unfair world. Suddenly, Katara was shoved against the wall, Zuko's lips connected fiercely with hers.

They poured all of their emotions into that one kiss. Pain, hurt, passion, anger, and frustration. Zuko pulled away, both of their breathing harsh as blue eyes met gold.

"What an amazing liar you are," He growled before roughly kissing her again.

Katara couldn't ignore the truth any longer. She couldn't keep pushing her feelings aside, pretending that they didn't exist.

She knew that this would change everything, that nothing would ever be the same again.

She understood just how crucial this moment was, exactly how much of an impact this had on everyones lives.

She knew that this might end badly, causing the downfall of everything she had ever worked for.

And despite knowing all of this, despite knowing the consequences, Katara kissed him back.
