You stared at the ceiling as you lay on your bed. You were starting to think that Daisuke and Kaito would be keeping Zuko and Jet out all night when you heard a set of footsteps followed by a knock on your door. You stood and quickly fixed your clothes and your hair then you walked over and opened the door.
"Aw Zuko, maybe I should have warned you about Kaito and Daisuke's idea of celebrating" you were trying really hard not to laugh. Poor Zuko was still a bit drunk, but coherent, his clothes were all messed up and he had dopey smile on his face.
"If you think I look bad, you should see Jet" Zuko replied slightly struggling with his words. Zuko was swaying a bit, so you helped him into your room and onto the bed. He struggled to sit up so you had him lean against the wall.
"Did all of you make it back alright?" you asked remembering the time Daisuke and Kaito were celebrating with Ike, Yahigo and Domon and they left Yahigo at the bar.
"Yeah, Kaito had to carry Jet halfway back, by the way your brothers were barely buzzed" Zuko seemed like he was sobering up pretty quickly.
"Lots of practice, plus Kaito is a bear" you replied. "Did you at least have fun?"
"It was fun up until the headache started" he said as he closed his eyes, "I should probably get back to my room" he said as he tried to get up.
You stopped him, "you can stay here," you said softly. Zuko looked at you curiously; after all you haven't been letting him sleep in your room. You sighed. "I was almost taken away from you today, then my brothers kidnap you, don't I deserve some Zuko time" you said the second part in a joking fashion. Zuko smiled at you and shifted so his head was resting on your lap, he wrapped his arms around you. Apparently Zuko is very cuddly when he's drunk. You ran your fingers through Zuko's hair; he smiled as he hugged you. "How are you feeling?" you asked.
"Tired, a bit sick and my head is killing me" Zuko mumbled.
"Aw, poor Zuko" you said as you leaned down and kissed his forehead.
"Remind me not to celebrate with your brothers any time soon," Zuko mumbled, he was so tired. "And I may be tired but I noticed your sarcasm, I'm too tired to think of a come back"
You giggled, "then why don't we get some rest?" you asked.
"You don't have to tell me twice" Zuko mumbled. Zuko loosened his grip on you so you could get into a comfortable position. You lay on your side facing Zuko, his eyes were half closed and he still had a dopey grin on his face. He wrapped an arm around you, while you cuddled into his chest. Zuko lightly kissed your forehead and pulled you close. You don't know who fell asleep first but it's been a long time since you've slept this well.
The next morning you woke up a bit later than usual. As you opened your eyes you smiled as you cuddled into Zuko's chest. Zuko was lying on his back with one arm wrapped around your waist and the other was draped over your upper back. You were lying with your head on Zuko's chest with both of your arms wrapped around his waist. Apparently at some point in the night Zuko took off his shirt, not that you minded. You smiled as you watched Zuko sleep, a small smile upon his face.
You decided to get breakfast for the two of you. You carefully slipped out of Zuko's arms, not wanting to disturb him. You decided that you would get ready for the day after Zuko wakes up so you quietly left your room and headed for the main common area.
"Morning Kana" Daisuke said, he was making breakfast, "Isn't it a bit late for you" he added upon seeing you in yesterday's clothes.
You laughed, "I waited up for Zuko, he was exhausted." You started to make a pot of tea.
"He's in better shape than Jet" upon seeing your worried expression he said "Don't worry Kaito took care of him, he's fine"
"I really don't understand why you two celebrate like that" you commented, it was judging, you just don't see the appeal.
Daisuke shrugged, "eh its fun, but its definitely not for everyone"
"I don't think Jet will be celebrating any time soon" Kaito commented as he walked in followed by Jet who had his hand on his head, he looked a bit green.
"You call that celebrating" Jet mumbled, as he sat down with you and Daisuke.
"To each their own" Daisuke replied.
You poured a cup of water and offered it to Jet, "Here, it will help"
Jet nodded a thanks, "How's Zuko?" he asked after a few moments.
"He's still asleep" you replied as Daisuke started making plates of food for everyone.
"He's got the right idea," Jet mumbled more to himself; Daisuke gave Jet a plate of food as he poured himself some more water. "I'm going back to bed." He said as he stood and walked back to his room with food.
Daisuke offered you a tray with two plates of food, you poured two cups of tea and a glass of water and placed them on the tray.
Out of the blue Kaito said, "I think I can get used to this" you gave him a confused look so he continued, "nothing, just enjoying seeing my little brother and sister happy."
You and Daisuke looked at each other and smiled, "It is nice, I can't remember the last time we had a relaxing morning" You said.
"Everything has been pretty crazy ever since you brought Zuko home" Daisuke added with a sly smile remembering the morning you carried the unconscious and badly beaten prince to your house after you found him. Nothing has ever been the same.
You smiled, "We needed some excitement," you said as you picked up the tray and headed back to your room.
(Zuko's POV)
You stretched as you woke up, slightly disoriented with a mild headache. As you remembered the events of last night you realized that you were still in Kana's room. You laid back and rolled over burying your face in the pillows, they smelled like vanilla, just like Kana.
Suddenly the door opened, you rolled over to see Kana, "Morning" you mumbled.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't wake you, did I?" Kana asked.
"No I just woke up" You mumbled as kana walked over and offered you the tray.
"Daisuke made breakfast, I got us some," she said. You smiled. You remembered the first conversation you had with Kana, when you woke up in her room after she saved you. You smiled at the memory.
As the two of you ate, you couldn't help but look at Kana. When you met she was very physically fit but now her entire body is completely toned, her pale skin was still as pale as ever, and her bright red hair was almost back to length it used to be. Everything about her is perfect to you Kana is so beautiful.
"Zuko what are you looking at" Kana asked with a smile as she took the plates and tray and moved them to the nightstand.
"You" you said with a sly smile. Then you swiftly wrapped your arms around Kana's waist, before she could react you gently flipped the two of you over so she was lying on the bed with you leaning over her. Kana blushed and smiled shyly as she softly caressed your face, the side with the scar. You smiled just before you leaned in and kissed her passionately; Kana instantly returned the kiss with just as much passion. The kiss started out innocent but quickly deepened. After a few moments you felt Kana lightly bite your lip as you pulled away.
"What was that for?" Kana asked slightly out of breath.
You smiled, "Do you remember when you saved me, I just woke up and you walked in the room?" you asked.
"Of course I do"
You placed you hand on her face, "so you remember fixing my bandages?" you asked, Kana nodded, "I really wanted to do this." You kissed Kana again, but something about this kiss was different; your hands wandered and so did Kana's. You felt Kana move so she was on top of you. This kiss was even more passionate than the last. The kiss only ended because you realized that air is important. As you pulled away you opened your eyes, you saw that Kana's eyes were still closed and she was breathing heavy, you watched as her lips twitched into a smile.
"You know, if you did that when we first met I probably would have kissed you back" she said with an amused smile.
"Now you tell me," you laughed.
Kana giggled and started to kiss your neck. "Did you sleep well?" Kana asked between sweet kisses.
"The best I've slept in months" you replied, "But I'm glad I'm awake" you rolled over so you were on top of Kana again.
As you were about to kiss Kana again you heard a knock at the door. You practically growled.
There was another knock, "Kana? Are we training today?" Aang asked.
Kana was about to reply when you covered her mouth and started kissing her neck, after a second Kana bit your hand. Getting randomly bitten was a bit of a shock.
"Kana?" Aang asked again.
"Um, sorry no formal training today, but practice your forms and remember to meditate" Kana called.
"Ok! Oh um, have you seen Zuko? I went to his room but he wasn't there"
Kana looked at you, not knowing what to say.
You sighed, "Hi Aang" you called as you moved to lie next to Kana.
You heard a few embarrassed mumbles and an awkward goodbye. You practically growled in frustration as Kana blushed in embarrassment. Even the Avatar could guess what you were doing.
"Why is it so hard to have some alone time?" Kana asked.
"I don't know" you sighed, you wanted to kiss Kana again but she seemed so frustrated, the moment was gone. "Lets go on a date," you suggested out of the blue.
"Really?" kana asked, she seemed surprised.
You nodded, "Just us, we'll go into town, have dinner, be away from everyone," you said.
"You had me at just us" Kana laughed. Then she pulled you into a kiss.
"Kana we just saw Aang, what's going on?" Daisuke asked from outside you're the door. At the sound of her brother's voice Kana pulled away from you and laid on the bed next to you.
"The poor kid looks traumatized." Kaito added.
Kana sighed, "So whens the date?" she asked as she turned to look at you.
"Apparently not today" you replied in frustration.
