I told my boo, Rosanne, that she should be looking for this one-shot in the coming weeks before Christmas because I love this song and I hate that people think it's about date rape. Short and sweet this time around. So here's some Zutara + Baby It's Cold Outside. xx

**Also un-beta'd and written on this website as I updated my computer and it got rid of Word and I haven't downloaded OneNote yet .

Katara stared out the window before glancing at the clock on the mantle with a sigh. Zuko's head popped up from where he was reading to look at his girlfriend. Katara made her way towards the coat rack to grab her hat and scarf but Zuko stood quickly and rested his hand on hers.

"Stay." The word was hardly audible but it made Katara pause.

"I can't. I really can't." Katara frowned and stepped away from the rack, sighing at Zuko's mumbled, "It's cold outside Katara." She made her way to the kitchen, deciding to clean the small area a bit before she'd leave. "I had a great time Zuko, it was the best time." Zuko grabbed her hands, a smile growing on his face.

"Your hands are freezing, Katara. Stay until you warm up a bit more."

"You know my brother's probably worrying about what's taking me so long right now and we both know my dad's going to ware a hole into the floor." She gave up on cleaning the kitchen, returning her boyfriends smile and moving back to the living room.

"What's the hurry Katara? I'll start up the fire, there's no reason to run away so quickly." Katara grabbed the tumbler off the coffee table and handed it to him.

"Maybe just one more drink?" She winked and turned on the television for some background noise.

Katara took the glass and looked out the window, snatching her hat from the rack before Zuko could stop her and placing it on her head. "Your neighbors are going to get ideas Zuko." She took a sip and coughed, wrong egg nog. "What's in this?" Zuko gave a grim smile as he took the drink from her and gave her his.

"Wrong one, sorry. But I think the storms getting worse, so the neighbors won't think anything of you staying her tonight, trust me. Besides all the cabs are done running for the night." Katara looked back out the window, the neighborhood's Christmas lights had turned on and the light reflected in her eyes. "Your eyes have stars in them Katara." Zuko wrapped his arms around her waist and they looked at one another in the reflection of the window.

"You're putting a spell on me Zuko." Katara leaned into him as he slipped her hat from her head with one hand while the other drifted under her sweater. "I really should be stopping you."

"Is this okay?" Zuko whispered in her ear causing Katara to shiver.

"I'll just tell Sokka I tried." Katara smiled as Zuko splayed his hand across her stomach, a feigned expression of hurt on his face at the mention of her brother.

"That really hurts, Katara." She pulled away, blue eyes darkening as she headed down the hallway.

"I really can't stay."

"We both know that's a lie, besides the temperature's dropping rapidly." Zuko pouted as he followed her.

"I really do need to get home."

"You'll freeze out there Katara."

"Not if you give me your coat." She'd entered his room and snatched up his parka, slipping it on.

"The snow's up to your knees. You're giving really pathetic excuses when I know you want to stay." Katara leaned into him, pressing her lips to his.

"Don't you see? Everyone's going to be spreading rumors about us."

"I'll be very sad if something were to happen to you." Zuko rested his hands on her hips and walked them towards his bed.

"They'll never be confirmed of course." Katara fell backwards onto the mattress, Zuko following her as his hands pushed her sweater upwards. "I really should go home." Katara gasped as Zuko undid her bra and flung his parka and her sweater across the room.

"Nonsense. It's to cold out there and it'll be warming up in here very soon." Katara gave a shrieking giggle as Zuko ran his fingers down her spine, small sparks of fire flying from his fingertips.

And scene. I didn't want to get into sex this time around and I'm very happy I stopped before I went any further. Sorry if you were expecting the sex scene. Maybe I'll actually write that for Christmas for you guys if you want? But review and follow and all that fun jazz. Check out my other stories, they are in desperate need of reviews for my motivation to come back for them. xx
