Zuko silently watched Katara dance from across the fire. Far across the fire. He couldn't stand to be near her as he took note of the way her body moved in rhythm with the beat.
They had "agreed" to stop in yet another town to help the townspeople with their problem that was far too large for them to handle themselves. Yeah, right. Oh, and now they want to have a celebration in honor of their freedom from evil spirit, oni, rabid rabbit, whatever. And, of course, Avatar and company are invited. So, they had stayed for the festival. It only made sense that Katara would join in and want to learn the dances native to the village. Zuko had expected this, but what he didn't expect was all the attention she would get. Did they have to look at her like that?!
Having finally had enough, he stalked to the dancing water bender. At first he wasn't sure what he would do, but once he reached her he found himself moving in time to the music and her body, not touching but close enough to get the point across. To say Katara was surprised would be an understatement. Never would she have guess that he would actually dance with her! Zuko noticed the appreciative stares she was getting had turned haughty, they were sure she would push Zuko away. He would show them!
The fire prince leaned towards Katara, his cheek brushed against hers as he whispered in her ear. "Don't they know that you're mine." It was a statement, not a question. She looked up at him in surprise just before his mouth came crashing down on hers in a possessive kiss. Katara didn't push him away.
