"Listen whore! I'm gonna say it one more time, let me the fuck out so I can call my uncle! I didn't do anything!" Zuko kicked at the cell bars as they rattled a little to much for the police officers comfort at the boys tantrum.

"Listen kid we got evidence it was you, wait," the officer sighed. Zuko shook in rage and swung his foot on the bars, they bent a little.

"Jesus this kid is bionic," the officer covered his face.

"I didn't do anything!" Zuko screamed kicking again making the officer nervous. All the cops knew of the kid, non of them liked him.

-Two hours earlier-

"Kat you really should go home, you're going to get a fever by tomorrow," Zuko looked down at his girlfriend worried as she had on his hoodie and sweat pants, Zuko braided her hair back during class before so she wasn't so hot. Complaining that her shoulders hurt.

"I'm fine just tired," Katara mumbled leaning against him as he lead her through the halls so she didn't run into anyone.

"Yuh okay sure, is that why your shivering and sweating at the same time?" Zuko touched her forehead gently and she whined a little.

"Fine, one more class and I'll go home," she sniffled and covered her mouth to cough as Zuko pulled her around just before she hit someone.

"Can you handle one more class?" He asked flatly.

"Yes," she groaned.

"I'll get you something nice if you let me take you home now," Zuko sighed shaking his head. She was to stubborn.

"Like a big blanket?" She asked hopeful.

"I was thinking more of snacks but yea I'll get you a blanket too," Zuko smiled holding her hand tightly.

"Okay fine, I'll go home and be sick," Katara laughed a little but started coughing again.

"At this point I'm going to be sick with you tomorrow," he made a face unamused and she hit his arm.

"Stop I'm sensitive!" Zuko whined trying to pull away but Katara had his hand locked.

"You can't escape," she cooed as he tried walking faster to leave her but it was no use.

"Fine let's get this class over so I can take you home asshole," Zuko pulled her with and pressed a soft kiss to the side of her head with a smile. They went into their class together as Zuko sat in front of Katara and handed her the rest of his tea as she gave him a goofy grin.

"Green tea?" She asked.

"Always, you get the rest," he nodded.

"Who would've thought the badass was such a softie," Katara teased.

"Oh yea I'm cuddling puppies for my spare time," Zuko snorted.

The teacher went to the door and saw three men standing outside talking in a low voice, they asked to speak with a student.

"Zuko suzano?" They came in the class. He sat up straighter with a frown.

"You need to come with us," a man said calmly.

"Cops or Ozai?" Zuko asked frowning.

"We're the police," he said a little confused.

"Is everything okay?" The student didn't move from his seat. He hasn't done anything illegal for a while.

"We need you to come with us son," he told him more sternly. Zuko didn't like that.

"Is it my uncle?" Zuko asked. Katara was turned to stand from her desk seeing Zuko was ready to bounce at any moment now.
