Zuko fell asleep on Kataras bed as she was doing homework, he didn't mean too but when she let him lay his head on her lap to watch and she started touching his hair he was out within minutes, his arm draped across her lap as well with his other arm wrapped around her waist. She kept her hand in his hair, scratching behind his ear like he was a cat as he slept soundlessly.

She typed on the laptop with one hand with her essay but heard footsteps up the stairs, Zuko woke up quickly and watched the door hoping no one came in. Katara smiled down at him seeing his one eye open.

"You okay down there?" She teased rubbing his head again and laughed softly hearing him groan hugging her waist more at the feeling.

"Better," he mumbled leaning into her touch.

"Can you read over my conclusion to make sure it makes sense?" Katara asked sweetly and Zuko opened his eyes again to look at the screen for her.

"The last sentence needs a comma and add an extra sentence to elaborate on the beginning of the essay," he yawned a little and she fixed it nodding.

"Done!" She smiled with a small clap as she sent it to the teacher.

Zuko rolled to look up at her from below, she put her hand over his face but cried out when he licked her hand.

"Don't do that!" She whined wiping the spit from her hand onto his forehead as he grunted pushing her hand off his face.

"Don't wipe my spit on me," he glared at her. She licked her hand and wiped it on his forehead again as he yelled and sat up quickly.

"It's not your spit," she laughed at him but he pushed her off the bed as she screamed.

"It's so on rich boy," Katara growled from the ground and leaped on her bed as Zuko yelled in fear when she tackled him.

"Don't pull my fucking hair!" Zuko yelled.

"Don't push me asshole!" She yelled back but gasped when he shoved her and was on top. Katara tried kicking him off but he pinned her easily with her hands at her side.

"I can easily take you down kat," Zuko looked down at her unamused as she scowled up at him.

"I'll take you down now if I wanted too," she squirmed but he pressed his shins on her legs to keep her down.

"Just say I win, not that hard," Zuko smirked smugly. Her glare darkened as she finally stayed still and stared up at him. He didn't like that look.

"Say it," he said again raising a brow.

"I'm not giving up," she huffed.

"You don't even have a chance to win," he smiled more.

"I'll scream,"

Zukos eyes widen.

"My dads downstairs, I'll scream," Katara smiled cruelly.

Zuko was immediately off with his hands up.

"You fight dirty-" Zuko grunted when she kicked him off the bed and he landed on the ground.

"I am not losing," Zuko growled jumping back on the bed as Katara squealed into a fit of giggled when he grabbed her.

He didn't waste time to pin her again as her legs were wrapped around his waist from trying to take him down but failed when he flipped them. She giggled wildly as he smiled down at her.

Katara smiled up at him as he slid his hand into hers as their matching nails were next to each other when their fingers intertwined.

"Is.. is this okay?" Zuko asked softly and blush crawled up her face, she smiled though, they said they'd take it slow so they wouldn't ruin their friendship... but she loved this, she knew him, that he wouldn't want her to be uncomfortable but she wasnt, it was more than comfortable to be like this with him. She loved him.

"It's okay," Katara smiled up at him and he dipped down to kiss her softly, she hummed a little kissing back as she was able to get one of her hands free to pull him closer by the nape of his head.

He kissed her neck gently and up to her ear as Katara closed her eyes loving the way his lips touched her skin.

"Say I win," he whispered against her ear and Kataras eyes snapped open.

"You son of a bitch," she whispered back wide eyes as he grinned against her neck and kissed again down her neck.

"Say it," he mumbled kissing down her shoulder and to her collarbone. She whined shaking her head.

"Then I'm taking it as a stop," Zuko pushed himself up and Katara stared at him pouting.

"Fine, you win," Katara sighed crossing her arms.

"Yay!" He jumped back on her with open arms as she giggled again when he kissed her neck and her cheek till he got to her lips.

"Mm I love you," Zuko whispered against her lips as Katara stole another kiss pulling his close.

"I love you too," she kissed his jaw and the edge of his scar, placing a sweet kiss against his scarred skin next. He held her hand to his cheek and he kissed her palm.

"This is okay right? Cause I really don't wanna stop," he kissed her against and she giggled, pushing him off and sat on top of him as she cupped his face kissing his slowly, his hands resting on her thighs.

"I'll kill you if you stop," she grinned down at him as Zuko chuckled.

"Oh fuck!" They heard from the door. Zuko shoved Katara off and she went flying with a scream when he saw sokka.

"No no no shut up Sokka, shut up right now!" Katara gasped turning bright red from the floor .

"DAAAAAD!" Sokka yelled and both of them sprinted to catch the other teenager.

—

All three teenagers sat at the dinner table as Hakoda stood at the end of the table with his arms crossed.

"He lied," Katara said quickly.

"I did not I saw you-" "we weren't doing nothing!" "Oh I saw enough to know what that was!" The two sibling yelled at each other as Zuko groaned putting his face down on the table.

"Zuko, look at me and tell me you were doing nothing," Hakoda said flatly and Katara covered her face knowing they were over. The poor sucker couldn't lie for himself.

Zuko inhaled deeply as both of the siblings watched him intensely as he looked at Hakoda.

"Katara and I didn't do anything, I was helping her with home work," Zuko said calmly as sokkas jaw dropped.

"Are you lying to me boy?" He narrowed his eyes.

".. yea,"

"God dammit Zuko!" Katara threw her hands in the air as Sokka laughed in victory.

"I'm sorry! He asked me a second question and called me boy! I crack under that kind of pressure!" Zuko looked at her wide eyes with Sokka between them.

"Please at least tell me your dating then," Hakoda pinched the bride of his nose with a long sigh.

"Yea.." they both said.

"Oh thank god, I rather have you be dating," he let out a long relieved breath.

"When did you guys start dating?!" Sokka cried out confused.

"Uh officially like three days ago?" Katara shrugged.

"Eh we knew it was going to happen," Hakoda agreed.

"I thought it'd be a little longer," Sokka frowned.

"Next time you walk in on me I'm taking your condoms!" Katara snapped at her brother.

"Katara!" Zuko squealed in horror as Sokka was shocked.

"Your not touching my condoms," Sokka warned.

"Oh my god you two Jesus fuck!" Hakoda threw his hands in the air as he walked away and Zuko chased after him no longer wanting to be in the same room as those two.

"Are you okay with me dating your daughter?" Zuko asked nervously as Hakoda grabbed a drink from the fridge.

"Oh definitely, your way better than that jet douche," Hakoda snorted shaking his head.

"Just don't treat her wrong or I'm putting your ass in the hospital kid," he looked Zuko sternly.

"I'll do my best, I'm worried I'm going to mess up, I like her a lot," Zuko gulped looking down as he hugged his body tightly.

"Respect her, keep her laughing, feed her, she'll keep you around," Hakoda smiled at him. The kid was a sweet nervous wreck, he'll do fine.

"Plus I like that you two were friends before, you got to know each other and if you think your okay with going into a relationship then I trust you'll be a good guy, she would've gotten rid of you ASAP if she didn't think you were a good guy," he chuckled softly.

Zuko kept it to himself as he hid his smile about why Katara got to know him, they chose the alcohol either way.

"So you get to go have a girlfriend and do whatever the fuck you want but if I have a boyfriend I have to be seven feet away from each other all times!?" Katara screamed and there was a crash.

"We gotta go," Zuko whispered wide eyes.
