Title: Rising with the Sun
Author: tanikara kohitsuji
Theme: 30. "Good morning…"
Pairing: Zutara! Zuko x Katara
Rising with the Sun
Dawn just came creeping over the sunrise when he stirred. Zuko watched in fascination as his wife's face slowly flushed with color. First her skin flushed tan, then her hair became chocolate spilled across their pillows. Her breath whispered out of her agape mouth, her plump pink lips utterly tempting.
Her blue eyes were yet to be seen though, but Zuko just smiled knowingly. Katara was a waterbender to the core, late to rise and late to bed. So he took advantage of his firebender heritage just to watch her in the early sunlight. Hey, if he's going to rise with the sun, he might as well make it worth his while.
An hour later, Katara stirred and opened her amazingly blue eyes. She smiled at her husband.
"Good morning," she mumbled groggily. She stretched a little. "How long have you been up?"
"You ought to know. I rise…"
"With the sun," she finished with a grin. She kissed him. "You love saying that."
"Mmhmm."
Overall though, he'd have to say his favorite part of the morning was when his Fire Lady woke up and greeted him with a kiss. It was the best morning greeting.
A/N: Well, here we have non-canon! I love the idea of the two of them married. They'd be so amazing together. So we had a moment of looking at them. It actually took me a while to come up with a title for this one. I finally went with this one. But Personally, I don't like it that much.
I do like the fanfic though. It feels very relaxed and sedate. I like calm Zutara…
Don't forget to give your input on these oneshots! Please and thank you!
