not from around here | Zuko X OC

| chapter sixty four |

Sunlight that had been coloured by the walls of the tent it shone through landed on Saki's face. Her nose scrunched slightly as her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at the tent roof and smiled. She remembered the amazing night of food and sun they had the night before.

She sat up and gently removed Zuko's arms from where they were rested around her hips, thinking he was sleeping.

"Nooo." He murmured, still half asleep and trying to pull her back down next to him. He gently wrapped an arm around her arm and held her there.

"Zuko, I have to get up." She told him softly, reaching out and tucking his hair out of his face.

"No you don't." He told her, smiling slightly at the feeling of her hands on his face.

"Yes I do." Saki laughed, pulling her hand away from his face to get up. She placed her hands on the floor and pulled her legs in and under her, starting to stand.

"Too bad." He murmured, pulling her back down next to him.
Saki tried to stand again, but he sat up and rolled on top of her, grabbing onto her wrists and pinning them next to her head on either side.

Saki squirmed under his grip, wriggling her legs and giggling. Her shirt - well Zuko's shirt - rose slightly so her underwear and stomach was exposed as he moved onto his hands and knees over her, grinning.

He didn't even acknowledge the fact that her shirt had risen or take advantage of it. Instead, he smirked and was about to lean in to kiss her when there was a flapping noise behind them.

Their eyes widened as they looked at each other in panic. They heard Sokka's voice talking to them.
"Hey you two, breakfa-" He froze, looking at Zuko and Saki with wide eyes. Zuko glanced back down at Saki, who was pinned under him with her arms restrained next to her head.
They froze for a couple seconds, all looking from one to the other.

"I NEED AN ADULT!" Sokka exclaimed, turning and running out of the tent.

"No! Sokka come back!" Saki yelled, pushing Zuko off of her and running after him.
"See, look where your horniness had gotten us!" She called back to Zuko as she opened the tent flap. "It's not what it looks like!" Saki called after Sokka.

She ran after Sokka for a few steps, but gave up because it was cold and the grass was wet on her bare feet from the early morning dew.

She walked back into the tent to see Zuko sat on the floor, pulling clothes out of his bag and smiling to himself.

"Don't be so happy about it." She snapped, slapping him on the back of the head as she walked past. This only made him smile more.

"Sokka is gonna kill us." Saki sighed, sitting next to Zuko. "Oh and I haven't got any pants on either, just my underwear." She said, putting her face in her hands.

"Maybe he didn't notice." Zuko said comfortingly, putting an arm around her shoulders.

"I hope so." She sighed. "He was probably distracted by you on top of me." She grinned.

"Ugh, he is going to kill me." Zuko sighed, shaking his head as he pulled some clothes out of his bag.

Saki peered over at his bag of clothes, eyeing a shirt. She reached over and pulled it out of Zuko's bag and examined it. She then pulled off the shirt she was wearing and pulled on the new one, before pulling her cargo pants out of her bag of clothes.

"So you're not even going to ask?" Zuko said, watching her as she turned her pants the right way so she wouldn't put them on inside out.

"Nope." Saki said, grinning at him. She peered in her bag and pulled out a pair of clean underwear to change into. "I'm running out of underwear, I'll have to do a wash soon." She sighed as she changed.
