Staring Contest
Zuko's eyebrow twitched.
He looked up from his rice to the airbender next to him; Aang's grey eyes that were usually bright were glazed over while his entire torso was leaning forward, his elbows resting on the ground in front of his crossed legs while his chin was held in his palms. His face was relaxed and placid, yet there was a wide smile that seemed to split his face.
The prince then moved his eyes to follow Aang's gaze across the fire to what he'd been starring at for the past fifteen minutes (if not more) straight: Katara.
Sure, Zuko awknowledged she was pretty and nice (at least most of the time when she wasn't threatening him with bodily harm) but he was beginning to wonder if Aang was alright.
The waterbender was just brushing her hair, the long stands wavy and shiny in the firelight as she continuously ran her small comb, and occasional fingers, through it. Her face was calm as she seemed to exclude the world around her, but there were certain times when she would hit a tangle and her face would unattractively contort in pain.
Yet this idiotic Avatar didn't seem to mind that as he just. Kept. Staring.
It was annoying in how his face was so tranquil, like he'd found heaven just by staring across a fire to this girl.
Zuko's eyes moved from Aang to Katara a few times more before he visibly sighed; he had the urge to rub his temples but resisted.
"Don't worry, you get used to it."
At the voice, Zuko had to resist the urge to jump as Sokka, who he'd forgotten was sitting next to him, spoke.
"What?" the firebender intellegently asked.
"The staring, the weird face - you get used to it. Happens every night," he continued before stuffing some more jerky into his mouth, causing Zuko's eyebrow to twitch again.
"Sometimes I wish I could really see faces, his sounds hilarious right now!" Toph exclaimed with a laugh.
"It's just annoying," Zuko muttered.
Aang gave what the firebender could only assume as a dreamy sigh as Katara lightly grinned before she flicked some hair over her shoulder.
Zuko's eyebrows now furrowed.
AN: Thanks for all the support so far guys; you're amazing! I wanted to incorporate another character and, well, I though of Zuko because compared to his relationship with Mai, Aang and Katara must seem a little annoying in all their stares and such, because you know, THEY'RE ADORKABLE LIKE THAT. But, anyway, thanks for reading and feedback is fantastic!
