Katara was confused, to say the least. The urge she felt to spend time with Zuko was difficult to understand. Every time she turned around, his face was staring back her when he wasn't anywhere near her.

She worried that her emotions showed in her eyes for her seeing friends and in her pulse for Toph. Iroh knew, no doubt about it. Aang might have known, but she wasn't sure.

This affection I feel is hard to understand,

It's not the way I planned

My world is changing.

Wherever I turn,

It's his face I see

Looking back at me

And in my eyes I can't disguise

The affection I feel

Is getting the better of me.

Katara thought back to Jet as she sat by the river. Her crush on him seemed so…dreamy that now she knew it never would have worked out. Especially now that he was dead. What she felt with Zuko was real, tangible emotions that (if it was love) could work out, given time and work.

The young Waterbender remembered what had shocked her into realizing that something was up. She had been distractedly making up Waterbending moves a few days ago when a warm hand enclosed hers.

"If you're trying to imitate a Firebending move, it goes like this." Zuko moved Katara's hands in the proper motions of the Firebending move she had unknowingly attempted to make into a Waterbending move.

Oh, for the first time

It's not a dream.

Oh, for the first time,

It's seems so real

That I want to remember every moment

That I'm there beside him

And he gently takes my hand.

It wasn't as if she hadn't had any "romances" before; this was just the first one where Katara wished her mother were here to explain what was going through her mind. Zuko's presence was changing her world in an irreversible manner.

Oh for the first time it's not a dream
Oh for the first time it seems so real
That I want to remember
Every moment
That I'm there beside him
When he gently takes my hand
So here I am
Feeling things I've never felt
And all because of him
My world is changing

(She has turned my whole world upside down.)

Not far from Katara's spot, Zuko stood, staring at the water as he had been the past few days. Katara was starting aggravate him and not because he hated her. Quite the contrary. He found himself drawn to her like dragon flies to honey.

And, deep down, he wondered if she felt the same way.

After the incident with the moves, Katara had been "naughty", as the term went. When she went to practice Waterbending, she made sure Zuko saw her in her white under things (so unlike her, true, but love is deaf, dumb, and blind). She did it purposely to bring his attention to her, and Katara had no intentions of denying it.

Everything that I do
I do to catch his eye

Oh, and I won't deny
I stand here guilty
(I wonder if she feels the same)
Cause this affection (as) I feel
Has gotten the better of me. (Has gotten the better of me.)

Zuko began to wander distractedly down the bank. I hate being confused. Is merely attraction or something more? It feels real, but…

Zuko makes me feel unique, in a good way, mused Katara. She smirked as she remembered just before dinner the night before. She had slipped on a slick stone and had fallen. And, of course, Zuko had caught her. Seemed a little clichéd to her, the beast saving the beauty, but at least she wasn't dirty.

So, for the first time, (So, for the first time)

Can this be love? (Can this be love?)

I know it's real (It's real)

And with him I feel

So completely (Completely)

Uniquely like no other (She is like no other)

As he gently holds me close (Holds me close)

At the same time, both troubled teenagers shook their heads. Honestly! What could they be thinking? A Waterbending peasant and a Fire Nation prince, albeit a banished one, together? The world would end before that happened.

But Ursa had told Zuko that emotions are the only true way to tell if something is possible. Love is possible if you fell love. Was it possible for Zuko to feel love, after what he'd been through?

And her mom had told Katara the same thing…

But wait a minute, what am I saying? (I've never known)

I've never thought on a scale so grand. (Ooh, these feelings)

But these emotions racing through me,

Tell me I must, tell me I can (I've never felt these things)

I'm finding who I am. (I'm finding who I am.)

Cause for the first time (Cause for the first time)

I have no doubts. (These things she does)

Oh for the first time (Oh for the first time)

I understand (I'm trying to understand)

Zuko wished he could talk to Iroh about this, but his uncle would rag on him until the Apocalypse. It was hard understanding women!

Katara, on the other hand, had no problem. She remembered every love story her Gran-Gran had told her and knew what was happening, once she allowed she herself to believe it.

Yes, for the first time (For the first time)

I realize that all the things (I realize that)

They said would happen (Something strange happened)

Well, they're happening to me (Happening to me)

Every time I'm with that man (Every time I with…)

(Every time I'm with her)

Every time I'm with that (Could I be that)

Man! (Man)

Zuko stumbled over a big blue blob. Katara.

Oh, uh…sorry…" Zuko stumbled through an apology. Katara shook her head.

"It's fine. I was distracted anyway." Katara got up and dusted herself off. "How long have I been out here?"

Zuko shrugged. "I left shortly after you did, so I don't clue. Whatever time it is, your brother has probably assumed the worse." Katara snorted.

"Sokka's paranoid, Zuko. Well, come on." Katara was about to return when Zuko's hand stopped her. "Zuko…Sokka's going kill you if he thinks you kissed me or anything…" Zuko silenced her with a hand on her mouth, which was shortly replaced by his mouth.

"Let's give him a reason to worry."

Hi!!! Sorry for disappearing but my full-length fic muse decided to leave me and head south for the winter. Still hasn't returned but I got this out, thanks to Tinsel Tinkerbell for reminding me I had this thing...
