PLEASE FAV, COMMENT AND OR WATCH ME!

"Sokka?" I ask as I start running towards him. "Sokka!" I said as I raced into his arms. "Your not dead!" I yelled as I peppered his face with kisses but stopped mid kiss on his eyebrow. "Your alive?"

i took a ok a few steps back. "I watched you die five years ago." Fire was in my eyes. He didn't tell me he was alive.

he started scratching the back of his neck in a nervous habit.

"Ahh... Ya Katara... Umm... Zuko saved me and dad." Sokka said staring everywhere but at me.

"he did?" I asked as I turned around and saw Zuko talking to someone. I looked back at Sokka. "And nobody told me?" Tears were blurring my vision.

I turned abruptly and ran towards the forest but stopped when i saw two familiar faces.

"Toph? Suki?" I turned back to my brother. "Well this is great. I blame myself that your dead for FIVE years... And you aren't even dead and just forgot to tell me. Wow. With family like this who needs enemies." I said with tears streaming down my cheeks. I turned again and ran into the forest.

I ran and ran till my legs gave up. I was on the ground sobbing when I felt a familiar presence behind me.

"Katara?" I cried harder. I felt two arms wrap around me and press me to a strong chest.

i grabbed onto his shirt as I just cried.

"Katara, baby talk to me." Zuko pleaded.

"you saved them?" I asked in between sobs. I felt him nod. "And you didn't tell me?" I asked as a new sob racked my body.

he pulled me away so he could look me in the eyes.

"I thought you already knew." Sadness crept into his eyes. "I had no clue he hadn't sought you out."

"It's ok. It's his fault." I said as I gave him a small smile.

"Do you wanna stay here or go back to camp?" He asked after a little bit.

"stay here." I answered with a smile.

"ok." He returned the smile. "I'll get some fire wood."

Zuko and i had sat on the cold ground together for what felt like a few minutes. but it had actually been hours. the sun had already set and our fire put out. it was just me and him. alone. but we weren't actually alone. we were together. both lost in thought.

"you really thought i knew?" Katara asked breaking the silence.

"ya. every time you were about to talk about him you stopped. like you didn't want to give something away." he met her eyes. "but now i know you didn't want to give away your pain."

she burried her face into his shirt as silent tears streamed down her face.

"i thought Toph and Suki hated me. i thought that was why no one came to talk to me. for five damn years he didn't even tell me. i have been grieving him and my father for five years." she got broken off by a sob that escaped. "why didn't he tell me?"

"i don't know." Zuko answered truthfully brushing her hair out of her face. he planted a kiss on her forehead. "that is a question for him."

they sat there for a little bit longer just embracing each other.

"we need to get back." zuko reluctnetly said as he stood up.

"ok." Katara wiped the tears off of her face as she stood up. the walk to the rebel camp was slow.

when they finally got back she saw Sokka waiting for them. he stood up to meet them.

"Katara..." Sokka didn't get the sentence out before she raised her hand and cut him off.

"please sokka... i'm tired. can we talk tomorrow?" he looked at her with a broken and guilty look.

"of course." he gave a weak smile. "want me to show you to your tent?" he offered.

"no. i'd like t stay with Zuko in his." Sokka and Zuko was a bit taken back from what she jus said but Zuko knew she needed him.

"ok." Sokka looked between Zuko and Katara. "i trust you remember your way to your tent, Zuko." Sokka asked.

"yes."

"ok. well goodnight Katara." Sokka looked like he wanted to say more but held himself back and turned around and left.

Zuko led Katara to his tent on the other side of camp. he held he flap open for her as she walked in.

it wasn't a large tent. just a small red on with blankets and pillows on the floor. everything was red. there was a small table with four chairs around it and a tea set on top of it. it oozed Zuko. everything in it was him.

she walked over to the blankets and sat down. she took her boots off and laid down in her clothes. Zuko was quick to follow. he followed her in his arms and both of them fell asleep.

Katara felt safe. safe in his arms. the irony of it all. but having him there helped her sleep.
