Zuko's POV:
Am I seriously falling for Katara? I have to stop. She doesn't like me that way! Ugh *face palm* why am I doing this to myself?! Maybe I should just tell her so I can get over it.

Katara was still sitting at the docks watching the sunset. That was until she heard footsteps behind her. Katara turned around and she just saw Zuko right there, standing in an awkward position, smiling crookedly, and blushing. He asked to sit next to Katara and she obviously said yes.
"So I-" Zuko and Katara mutter over each other
"I gotta-" Katara says nervously as she speaks over Zuko
"You go first" Zuko says
"Those 2 days we spent on Appa going around finding the southern raiders meant a lot to me. I can't thank you enough. You really proved to me that I can't trust you. T-thank you, Zuko." - Katara said with a really big smile
"I had a lot of fun with you. I would've done anything just to make you smile Katara. Out of everyone, I care about your opinion the most. You are so strong and amazing and I'm really happy we had that journey together" - Zuko said nervously
Zuko and Katara sat there blushing, just gazing into each other's eyes.
"Wanna finish what almost happened in Ba Sing Se?" Zuko said smoothly
He leaned in for a kiss, Katara leaned it too. They were kissing on the docks for a while until Katara stopped.
"Hey you okay?" Zuko said patting her on the back
"Y-yeah... it's just Aang" Katara said with guilt
"I knew he totally liked you" Zuko said jokingly
"No seriously, I've been burying my feelings that I had with you with Aang. That's not fair to him" Katara said as she went off into camp
"Uh- alright." Zuko said understandingly
Katara storms into camp to find Aang. She wants to tell him the truth, but she doesn't want to hurt him. Toph comes to Katara
"I knew that was gonna happen.." Toph said
"W-what?" Katara asked
"You and little prince whiny. It was totally predictable." Toph said jokingly
"Please don't tell Aang. He has to hear it from me" Katara said worried
"You don't have to worry about telling him. He saw Katara." Toph said
Katara's face completely dropped.
"He was heading to the docks to give you this necklace he weaved or something" said Toph as she itched her head
"Oh no!! He wasn't supposed to see that!" Katara cried out
She ran to Aang's tent and she found him just sitting there with the necklace he made in his hands.
"Don't worry Katara. I didn't think it'd be me either" Aang said with a sigh
"Aang it was never about you. I love you so incredibly much. It's just with you, I find friendship, with Zuko... I find love ." Katara said poetically
After a long conversation. Mostly Katara apologizing, Aang said he was going to sleep. She felt so awful, but she couldn't wait to get back to Zuko. She went inside of his tent and there he was shirtless. Katara couldn't help herself but to count his abs. Zuko pulled her in for kiss, it should've lasted forever.
