Zuko makes Toast

Zuko was the first to wake up since he rises with the sun and all. No matter what time he went to bed or how exhausted he was, he still got up early. He lifts up his arms above his head to yawn and then laid his gaze upon his beautiful waterbending queen before him. He smiled at the sight of her lying on her stomach with her long milk chocolate hair scattered everywhere. Her face was twisted to the side and her mouth was wide open. Her legs were spread all over the bed and her arms under her pillow. She breathed softly in her slumber. "What a wild sleeper and yet she still looks like a goddess" Zuko mumbled.

She was lovely...so exotic in so many ways. Zuko couldn't help but to think of why she had chosen him. Why did she pick him over her friends and family? She could have had any man that she wanted but she chose him and stud by his side. How did a banished prince of the fire nation win the heart of a waterbender? For the next fifteen minutes of that day all he could think about was Why and How. Why and How. Why and How.

Zuko leaned against the fire-designed headboard and rubbed the crust from his eyes. He didn't have to try very hard to get out of the bed quietly since Katara was such a heavy sleeper. She could sleep through anything. He walked to the bathroom and washed his face. Noticing his nakedness he threw on a red silk robe and some pointy toe slippers.

Deciding to test out his cooking skills and make Katara some breakfast Zuko walked to the kitchen. The cook, with multiple bows greeted him. This guy was annoying. Did a king really have to wake up to this mess? That whole time he spent in the kitchen all he could remember was "are you sure you don't need help with that?" and "No sir, that's not how you do it!" or "wrong pot!" or "I can do it, just go back to bed, this is my job." Zuko couldn't hold his patience any more and ordered the cook to leave and take a break. He wanted to make Katara breakfast. Key word…HE wanted to make Katara breakfast not have someone else do it. He wanted to show her how much he cared for her.

Zuko mixed some pancakes in a large bowl and heated up the pan the cook gave him before leaving. He didn't know that it was required to flip them so they burned to a crisp. He would have burned the whole kitchen down if it weren't for the cook running in screaming at the top of his lungs about something burning. Hello this is Fire nation…You know…Land of fire. Something's always burning.

Since making pancakes confused Zuko he decided to make something he knew how too. He pulled out two pieces of bread and cooked them in his hands. He pored some orange juice in Katara's favorite glass that was made just for her. It had remarkable engravings of water waves and fire flames. The set was given to them on their wedding day. From the looks of it, it most have cost a fortune.

He summoned for the cook to bring him a bed tray. The cook handed him a Deluxe Ronel Breakfast tray with a beautiful unique finish. While thanking the cook he set up, putting the toast in the middle and the glass of juice in the corner. He decorated it with a small vase holding a singe rose. She's gonna love this. Zuko smile to himself, heading for the bedroom.

Now Katara was sleeping on her back with one arm covering her breast and the other over her head and mouth wide open as usual. How cute, Zuko thought before kissing her gently on her nose, making her moan his name.

"Mmmm…Zukooo…I'm…trying…ta…shhhleep" She slurred.

He loved it when she did that. It made him want to take her then and there but he didn't want to exhaust her anymore.

"Wake up." He demanded while nibbling on her neck, making her go wild.

"Mmmm…noooo…Let me sleep!" She moaned again from his butterfly kisses.

"But I made you breakfast." He whined with a pout.

"Umm…Okay Zuko!" She smiled, struggling to get up. She looked up at the tray in surprise. "You did this for me?" She gasped. Zuko never made her breakfast in bed before.

"Yep, I sure did and I did it all by myself!" He replied with confidence as his nose rose to the ceiling.

"Awww…that's my big boy" She said with a baby voice pinching his cheeks.

" Well? Eat it and tell me what you think" Zuko pleaded.

Katara picked up a piece of toast and took baby bites as if it was poisonous. Zuko frowned at this. "Zuko, I'm just kidding" Katara giggle while taking a huge bite. It was delicious. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her tongue traced her lips for any left crumbs. She then stuffed the whole piece of bread into her mouth making it look like she hadn't ate in days. She then washed it down with some orange juice noticing it was her favorite glass. She looked at Zuko whose wide eyes were starring at her with his mouth nearly touching the ground. She smiled at him and gave him another huge hug whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

Zuko kissed his wife, as a "you're welcome" and left to rule the Fire Nation for the rest of the day.
