Too Close

bathroom

"Olivia?" Zuko knocked on the door to the girls bathroom seeing her go in.

"Liv?" He cringed but the door opened when she sniffled and teary eyed.

"W-when i said I don't like you I mean I don't know you I guess," Zuko swallowed his pride crossing his arms.

"Just respect my boundaries and we should be good," he sighed as she wiped a tear.

"Do you want to come over tonight? Maybe so I can get to know your boundaries a little more?" She stuck out her bottom lip looking up at him.

"I literally told you I'm taking care of my uncle Olivia," Zuko groaned.

"Tomorrow?" She asked. "Maybe get a coffee instead so I don't take much of your time?"

"I don't.." Zuko shook his head. "I just met you, I don't have time,"

"One hour, please? I'll pay," Olivia smiled softly.

Zuko made a small sound of frustration but remembered how Katara wanted him to be nicer and get along with more people. God he missed when people hated him and left him alone.

But the way Katara looks at him when she's proud of his growth...

"A half hour," he mumbled.

"Yay! It's a date!" She squealed and zukos eyes widen when she passed him when the bell rung.

"Wait fuckin wha-"

Zuko spun around but saw Olivia wave at Katara who waved back at her happy seeing she wasn't crying anymore. Katara gave him a thumbs up jogging to him.

"Glad things worked out," Katara wrapped her arms around his shoulders as his hand were on her hips.

"I don't like her," he said flatly. She placed a soft kiss to his lips. "At all,"

"She needs friends, I know she's a little more mentally stable than the rest of us but let her stay till she gets her own friends more," Katara whispered in his ear and kissed his neck gently.

"Kat class is starting," Zuko groaned burying his face against her head.

"You're a bad influence on me," she giggled as they went into the bathroom and closed the door behind them.

"Skipping class? That's unfortunate, I'm suppose to be in class all day for once," Zuko kissed her back as he pressed Katara against the wall.

"I would never say that," she laughed as he picked her up and set her against the school sink.

"I feel like this is stereotypical American public high school," Zuko kissed her deeply.

"Teens making out in the school bathroom? There's been worst," Katara breathed pulling his close as they stopped talking to focus on more important things.

"I hear someone coming," Zuko breathed after a few minutes.

"If it's not a teacher I don't care," Katara looked at his lips but he pulled her legs around his waist to be against each other, his hands gripping onto her thighs and gave them a firm squeeze. She whined a little against his mouth.

His hands stayed on her thighs as they explored a little moving under her legs and pulled her against him. A small squeak came from her but Katara gripped his hair with a smirk.

They heard the door open and Zuko immediately pulled off his girlfriend knowing he was in the girls bathroom. They panted as Katara giggled a little with a bright red face when she looked at who caught them.

Azula stood there unamused seeing her brother in the girls bathroom.

"You really lost all your class brother," Azula said in disgust.

"Oops," Zuko chuckled licking his lips as Katara hopped off the sink and fixed her hair.

"I'll see you later," he pulled Katara into a sweet kiss holding the side of her face before leaving.

"Bye," Katara smiled when he left with rose cheeks.

"You two are savages," Azula scoffed crossing her arms as she was left alone with the other girl.

"And some how it doesn't bother me," Katara gasped sarcastically as she fixed the middle part in her hair and combed her long locks with her fingers.

"There's rumors that you two are actually dating now, it's true it seems like," Azula rolled her eyes looking at her nails.

"It's not everyone's business to know who's in a relationship and who's not, we're just doing our own thing," the brunette sighed annoyed with her.

"Even after the Jet incident?"

Katara looked down with her hands gripping the sink tightly, she never really forgave herself for keeping something so cruel from Zuko, that whole bet, she was embarrassed she even agreed, ashamed she wasn't the one that told Zuko.

"It was a lot more complicated than people think, but jets left us alone now," Katara smiled back at her.

"Uh huh... then who's that blond that keeps following my brother around?" Azula asked glaring.

"Aw do you care?" Katara teased.

"Don't try that shit on me, I saw her hanging all over him before, it almost reminds me of how annoying you were with him at first, Zuzu even looks like he's going to lose his temper like before too," she smirked darkly at Katara as the tan girl raised a brow.

"You wouldn't tell me anything unless it meant something to you, what do you want?" Katara asked calmly.

"I heard about uncle," she scoffed looking to the side.

There it is. Katara smiled a little, knowing the other girl would have to much pride to ask Zuko.

"He's okay now, resting and getting what doctor ordered, the heart attack was less deadly than the car accident but he's going to be just fine," Katara told her gently with her hands behind her back.

"I know you and iroh never had a relationship but maybe you should stop by while zukos working," she offered.

"Why would I go to that filthy hole they call home? I don't give a shit about the old bastard," Azula snapped but it didn't affect Katara. 

"I'm just saying, I think you and Zuko care about each other more than either of you realize and iroh is a kind man, I'm just saying," Katara out her hands up to show she wasn't a threat as she walked to the door to leave the bathroom.

"But also knock before entering there, never know what you might walk into," Katara smirked a little as she left but heard a quiet growl from the girl when the door shut.
