A/N: Ok so this was my first request and I really hope I didn't let you down zutaraluvr10. But I will say I enjoyed writing it :)
Katara could feel the warmth of his hand as their fingers intertwined, his topaz eyes gazing into hers. She could feel him leaning towards her and the closer he got, the faster her heart would beat. She was so nervous and excited and terrified all at the same time. So many things could go wrong and she started to doubt the situation as she watched his eyes close. Zuko's hand glided from her shoulder to her cheek and Katara could feel his rough fingers rest below her ear. She wanted to run away, to flee from his tender grip, but she couldn't pull herself away.
His lips hovered above hers for a moment as if he had the same thought as her, but then quickly closed the distance between them. At first she stiffened, believing he might not do it, but after a moment, she relaxed and let him slide his arms around her. She felt lightheaded and so vulnerable as she slowly placed her hands around his neck, but she never wanted the feeling to leave.
Sadly, their bliss was short lived. A certain little earthbender stepped out from the trees only seconds after, a smirk plastered on her face. They both jumped to their feet, faces reddening, as fast as they could and took a step away from each other.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" said Toph as she walked closer to them. "Who would've thought that it would be Sparky and Sugar Queen? I have to say, though, I thought you guys would never kiss."
"You followed us?" said Zuko, his throat sounding dry. Toph's smile widened and with a quick stomp, she pulled a bit of earth upwards and leaned against it.
"Yep. Sure did. And I caught you both red handed." Katara and Zuko gave each other a glance, both wishing it would've been anyone but Toph who found them.
"You can't say anything to anyone!" Zuko demanded. The earthbender put her hands up in defense.
"Don't get all worked up. It's our little secret," she said sincerely. Katara and Zuko let out a sigh simultaneously and Toph let a grin spread across her face again. "For a price."
The pair glanced at each other once again and groaned out loud as they followed the blind girl back to camp.
