i could still feel the kiss on my lips during breakfast. i remember his lips being warm like fire and his hands cold like ice. i'm surprised they werent hot. He's a firebender so shouldnt they be? Zuko was my love and i knew it. And i was to embrace this strong romance for as long as i lived. it was going to be strong. it had to be. Zuko even told me it would be. He said, "Our love is going to be the strongest and most passionet in the world." After that he slipped away into the 'dining' room.
i still felt his soft lips pressing hardly against mine. i loved that moment and i will treasure it forever. Our first kiss.
Toph snapped me into reality with a whisper. "So, did you guys kiss?" i shook my head with a smile. Then i gave her a hint. "I'm not gonna tell you! My LIPS are sealed." She smiled. "Got it," she said. We began to continue eating.
Once i was finished with my meal i took my plate and i put it in the wash bucket. Suki followed me. "You're done, too?" i asked when i saw her. "Katara, would you mind taking me outside to show me some "waterbending"?" She put air quotes around waterbending. "Sure," i said. We walked outside to the fountain. i started to waterbend. she sat on the fountains edge. "Did you guys kiss?" she asked. Should i tell her? i thought. Of course i should. Suki would keep my secret. i could trust her. But...she tells Sokka almost everything. i dont want Sokka to know otherwise he'd be beating down Zukos door in the night with a torch and pitchfork. That would end baldly. Theyd both be burned-maybe.
i hesitated. "Dont tell Sokka but...we did," i said. Then i lied. "But we're not dating." "I wont tell. i promise," Suki said. i smiled. After a few secounds of quiet she blurted,"Tell me all about it!" i giggled. Then i told her of the beautiful moment.

The wind blew hard and the stars twinkled brightly in the sky. The moon was full and fueling. it filled me with energy i couldnt explain. i stood on the balcony were Aang and i had the fight and i remembered it clearly. i breathed in the crisp air.
i heard a door crack open behind me. i turned. it was Zuko. He slowly walked up to me. "Oh, Zuko. You startled me," i said. When he was in front of me he laughed. "You startle me with your beauty." i smiled. That was sweet, i thought. He looked into my eyes and i looked into his. i touched the left side of his face were his scar was. it fell cold. i looked at it. i glided my hand smoothly across his burned skin and i breathed in and out deeply. "You look beautiful with your scar," i said without taking my eyes off of it. "And it is your mark. And i know you feel ashamed of yourself for getting it. well, i feel ashamed of the scar, not of you. All this scar does is remind you of the time your father showed no love for you. He hurt you for no reason. All he did was burn and innocent, handsome, and sweet boy. He never loved you." i looked into his eyes before i said the last of my touching statement. "But i do." Then Zuko pulled me into a kiss.
This one was better than the first. i dont know how but it was. i kept my hands on his face and he kept his hands on my back. But then he swooped me up. He was carrying me. Why? i could feel him walking but i didnt know were. Then i heard a door bust open. Zuko was carrying me into a room. i could tell because there was barley any fresh air and it was darker than outside. He dropped me onto a bed but he was still kissing me. i pushed his chest up. "We shouldnt be doing this," i said. "Why not? We're dating arent we?" he asked. i rolled my eyes. "Yes but we're no ENGAGED. i dont feel its right."
Zuko smiled. "Whats one night, Katara?" i grunted. "Ok, i'll make you a deal. If you dont like it we wont do it again for a while. But if you do like it then we can do it when ever you want." i sighed. "Fine," i said. "Just kiss me already!" Then he started to kiss me.

Sunshine leaked into Zuko's bedroom. i felt a blanket over my bare body. i turned to my right side to see Zuko looking at me. "Good morning," he said. "Good morning," i said back. Wait a minute, i thought. "Oh my gosh! i stayed here all night! What if someone finds out? What if someone comes looking for me and i'm not in my room? What if Sokka-oh darn it! Sokka! i have to go make breakfast or he'll come looking for me!" i was paranoied right now.
Zuko grabbed my hand. "Katara, calm down! its fine. Just hury up and get dressed and you'll make it!" i snorted. "Easy for you to say! You do not know what Sokka would try to do to you if he found out what we did last night!" i said. i jumped out of the bed and grabbed my clothes. i quickly tried to put them on. My speed began to slow though because i was so tired. i grabbed my mother's neclace and put it on then i ran for the door. "Wait!" Zuko said. "Did you like it?" i hesitated. Then i smiled. "Yes." Then i ran out the door.
i still felt his soft lips pressing hardly against mine. i loved that moment and i will treasure it forever. Our first kiss.
