Chapter Text
Katara felt nervous, this was going to be her first official date, Haru’s outing didn’t count because they had just went for a stroll through the woods after dinner and ended with a small chaste kiss. Jet’s never had invited her for a date and had only tried to take advantage of her. But Zuko? Well he was the only one who had actually took the time to organize something for her.
She was currently finishing combing her long hair, for this date she went with a wavy hairdo, instead of her usual braid she let it flow but kept the hair loopies in with a flower pin on the back of her head keeping the hair loopis in the back. She was also wearing a pale green dress she found with Yue, which was simply beautiful, it had a flowery pattern on it which went well with her hairpiece, the woman in the store told her it suited her, it was different from her usual blues but she wanted to wear something different.
“Are you nervous?!” Toph’s voice took her from her task.
“WHAT?! Of course not!” Katara responded.
“Please, I can feel your heartbeat from the other side of the house, and it’s a big house”
Katara let out a deep sigh and she said. “It’s just that this is the first time I’ll have an actual date, I don’t know what to do, or expect”
“Don’t worry Sugar Queen, I’ll make sure to take Aang away so you and your boy toy can have your private fun” Toph tease making Katara be completely red in embarrassment
“TOPH!! WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT!!!” She said but before the grinning gremlin in front of her could say something further a voice called from behind.
“Do what?” Katara turned and saw Zuko in brand new robes, it was a little strange to see him shed his dark clothes and robes and to wear a brown tunic with a black vest
“Nothing! Toph was just leaving” Katara glared at the blind girl who simply shrugged and went to Zuko.
“You look nice Woody”
“Thanks Toph, I bought this not long ago… You were being sarcastic”
“No, actually I was being truthful, I do want you two to have a good night” She said and before she left Zuko managed to kiss her forehead.
“Thanks Toph, I really appreciate it” Zuko said and as he turned to see the master waterbender he was speechless. “Katara, you look… wow. I mean you look… wow” He felt pretty stupid but apparently she found it funny.
“Thank you Zuko, I think you look pretty handsome as well” She said as she tiptoed and kissed his lips. They smiled as they split from the kiss.
“These are for you” Zuko said as he presented her with pink flowers
“Oh Zuko these are lovely!” She said giving him a quick peck on his lips.
“Shall we Miss?” He said as he presented her with his arm.
“Of course sir” She said linking her arm in him. “Just a second” She said as she took water from the nearby fountain and bent it into a pot where she put her flowers. “I didn’t want them to dry out” She smiled and he returned it kissing her forehead.
“I wasn’t expecting less from you”

They went to dine into a fine restaurant in the Upper Ring, the dinner had been nice, but to Katara it wasn’t the meal nor the place, it was who she was with that made the entire evening worth it. She talked and talk about her early years in the Southern Tribe, what she did when her mother was returned to her.
“Is Kya alright?” Zuko asked
“Yes, mom was so excited to be back, though I could see how she was frightened of dad’s touch, she never told me what she endured but I always knew something heinous must have been done to her. I never thought what until Jet insinuated” She saw how Zuko let out a soft growl at the mention of the rebel. “But she always told stories of how amazing the Blue Spirit was, which is something I later witnessed. I can’t wait to return to mom”
“Do you want to live in the Southern Tribe?”
“Well I wouldn’t mind return there, specially to see mom and Gran-Gran, and now that I am a master to actually help rebuild, but I don’t know, there are many things in this world and I want to see them as well” She said, her eyes were full of hope Zuko thought.
“That is a nice goal Katara”
“And you?” She asked.
“I don’t know, I am an exile from my nation, many of the Earth Kingdom aren’t that friendly towards me, and I don’t know, perhaps I could join you in the South and give you a hand, I’m pretty strong you know” Zuko joked.
“I would be honored to receive your help Zuko” She smiled.
The rest of the meal was great, by the time they had finish Zuko took her by the hand to the middle ring, thanks to some permission the guards let them pass to said ring. There he took her to a house where music was playing.
“I found this place in one of my night outs, I thought you’d like to dance” He told her, Katara’s face was full of awe and glee.
“OF COURSE I WANT TO DANCE!!!” She said as she took him to the middle of the room, her body started to move around at the beat of the music, despite his countless lessons in the palace Zuko had to acknowledge he wasn’t a great dance, not after three years of not moving his body to something that wasn’t fighting.
“Then fight with me” Zuko wasn’t sure what she meant until she tried to throw a punch to his direction, he understood as he moved and took her hand, he then moved his feet to the front as if trying to step on her toes only for her to move back, they continued making said moves and combinations that made Katara felt alive. It wasn’t until he took her over his head and held her there that she could hear the entire patrons of the room to cheer and applause for her.
Once her feet were back on earth many people went and congratulate them, many women and elder men said they made a perfect couple, they danced like good spirits, and so on. Both teenagers smiled and thank them.
As they were about to return to the Upper Ring they heard someone calling for help, she didn’t even glance at Zuko she just went to where the screams were heard, Zuko never too far in front of her. They entered an alley where a woman with disheveled clothes, ripped clothes was screaming for help as five dirty men looked at her with lasciviousness, one of them licking his lips while another was playing with his penis through his pants, their intentions were clear.
Katara felt her blood boil but before she did anything one of the men started to scream painfully while holding his groin, a kunai had embed in his crotch. And as the other men were distracted Zuko leaped out of the shadows and began punching one of the would-be rapists, his anger was present in his face.
“RUN!” Katara yelled at the woman who managed to cover her exposed breasts and run away in fear, it was then that two men saw her, she felt a shiver but a thrill was present as she well as she realized she was going to fight criminals. It would be a nice shift in her fighting abilities, after all it wasn’t every night she could fight without the use of her bending, all of her training was worth it. Now she could go toe to toe against men twice her weight. She wasn’t worried about Zuko though, he was a fighter, even without his swords he wasn’t going to back down from a fight against criminals, she saw how he easily twisted one man’s arm only to break it and expose the bone with another hit. Then the other one got his two legs broken and an eye gouge out. Katara continued to fight the two criminals, she even took out the dagger Zuko had gifted her in Gaoling, she had never use it in actual combat but she was trained and ready to use it. She punched one of the men in the groin with the sharp dagger while kicking him with her right knee straight into his ugly face. Then the other one fell after she connected her left elbow with his jaw, dislocating it.
She felt a little bad for the criminals, those injuries weren’t easy to heal, but at the same time those men deserved it, she could see that they would think twice before trying to mess with someone innocent. Was this how Zuko felt every night?
--
So far this was the best date ever, the food was great, the dance was perfect and even the fight was simply out of this world, this date had everything you could ask for and more. They entered silently to the house, and went to Zuko’s room, Tuli was peacefully sleeping in a perch he had crafted for the baby chick, he went to his nightstand and from one of the drawers he withdraw a small wood box
“I want to give you this” Zuko said as he presented her with a beautiful wood box, it had what seemed to be burnt waves on the lid and sides. Katara gently pulled the ribbon apart and opened the lid. Inside of it was a beautiful crafted silver star, it had four long points with four shorter points in between, it had a circular space in the middle to her confusion. But as she was about to ask him he answered.
“It’s complementary of your necklace, if you take it I can show you” He said, his cheeks were blushing. She didn’t answered and simply unclasp the necklace and gave it to him. She saw how gently he separated the stone from the cloth, he took the star and placed the blue stone in the middle, with a click it fit perfectly and now he return the silver star with the blue stone into the cloth, he smiled as he saw how it looked.
“Can I?” He asked her.
“Of course” She said turning her back to him, she raised her hair exposing her neck to him. She felt his breath on her neck, that sent shivers into her entire body, her heartbeats became crazy at that. She then felt his lips gently pressing her expose skin. She turned to face him, blue eyes met golden ones. Both knew what the other felt and were not ashamed of showing it. They kissed deeply, with meaning and feeling. As they split Zuko spoke first
“I’m yours Katara of the Southern Tribe, my heart beats thanks to you, and it will never stop beating as long as I have you in my arms, I belong to you, my heart belongs to you” He kissed her deeply once, as the kiss ended they put their foreheads together, it was Katara who spoke next
“I am yours Zuko of the Fire Nation, you have saved me and have given me no reason to mistrust you, so I tell you this I belong to you and… I… give in to you” She said.
“Are you …Are you sure?” She didn’t responded just kissed him once again, this night they were going to become one.

Their kiss was full of passion, full of lust, full of love, as they both began to let out what they had been feeling for the other for a long time. She fiddled with his outer layer, she had never undressed someone but she now desperately needed to do so. After a small struggle his outer robe fell into the floor, she then felt his skilled hands toying with the ribbon on her back. as soon as the ribbon was loosen up he began to open her dress, his kisses went from her mouth, to her neck to her collarbone, every single one of them sent shivers through her entire body.
“We can still stop if you want” He told her as he stopped kissing her chest.
“N-No, please continue” She said as she felt how much she needed him, she ache for him to continue.
“Very well” He said as he began to unwrap her breasts, he kissed and licked her sensitive skin, her developing bosom, and the sensitivity she was feeling was driving her insane. Then he stopped. He gently sat her on the bed, the he knelt in front of Katara, he took her left foot, took out her shoe, and kissed the feet, then he kissed the shin, the calf, the knee, which had a small scrape from their early battle that he tenderly kissed, he then made his way over her tights, the pleasure was reaching a boiling point.
“Z-Zuko”
“Shhh, tonight this is all about you” He said and she got her answer as she felt his mouth pressing against her covered nether region, the under wrappings must have been so damp as he made his work with his lips and teeth, thanks to the wrappings what could’ve been painful scrapes and bites were actually very pleasant movements, then he took the wrappings out and stabbed her virginal pussy with his tongue, he was giving his all, her hands were on his head pulling him against her most private of areas as he licked, slurped and fucked her with his tongue. After what felt hours of getting him giving her pleasure she reached her climax and began to cum as her entire body convulsed in a blissful orgasm, not even her most intense masturbation sessions had provoked such reaction from her body. She was left breathless in the bed.
“T-that was… thank you” She said.
“You are welcome Katara” He said as he kissed her lips, she could taste herself on his lips, something that she didn’t mind, it tasted nice, the combination of her juices and his lips made her feel so wonderful. He was going to cover her with a blanket when she said.
“Oh no mister, now I really need you in me”
“Are you sure?” Zuko said, she appreciated his concern, but she needed him just as much as he needed her.
“Yes, now come over here” She said with a sultry voice. He went to her and she began to open his robes, his nicely sculpted body was thoroughly kissed, from his chest to his abs the Southern Tribe Master was enjoying his skin, the skin that had been missed and covered in deep layers of black cloth. As she reached his pants she could feel his bulge. He was definitely more than ready for her, and yet she wanted to play some more.
She lowered his pants letting out his pale cock right in front of her face, it was mesmerizing, she needed him but a wicked idea came to her, she decided to return the favor and began licking the tip of his penis, with her left hand she began to stroke the shaft while her right hand massaged his testicles, she was so concentrated in her work that she barely managed to hear Zuko say.
“K-Katara… I’m going to” She immediately stopped her actions and said.
“N-Not yet, please Zuko, let’s become one”
“I wouldn’t picture myself with anyone else Katara” He responded as he picked her up, and carefully aimed the head of his cock to her wet pussy.
“Ready?”
“Yes, please Zuko make love to me” And with those words of trust he thrusted into her, she felt a sting in her body from where her virginity was taken by her lover, her boyfriend, her one and only. Slowly but with a steady rhythm they began to move, Zuko going in and out of her and Katara making waving motions with her hips, as the time passed their movement accelerated, his penis began to harden further and twitched into her. As they mimicked their thrusts they felt how they were nearing climax.
“KATARA!!!” “ZUKO!!!” They scream, moaned and growled the other’s name, as he felt himself pouring into her and she felt his warm ejaculation filling her up. They were gasping for air, their breathing was heavy but both knew it was worthy for no more love had been shared between two souls than in this very night. For the first time ever the vigilante felt tired, and he simply embraced the woman that was on his lap, he kissed her deep on her lips and slowly began to fall asleep as she did the exact same thing.

By morning it was Katara who woke up first, she was nestled in Zuko’s chest, she could hear the calm beats of his heart, the heart that had been cured by her power and that just last night he swore it was hers, something told her that she was never going to wake away from him.

“I have to say Chien Tzo, I doubted your word, but it is clear now that making an alliance with you has been a wise decision” The deep voice of Ozai said as he stared at the big crystal catacombs his newest ally had brought him into. It had a running waterfall, big spaces and different tunnels that according to Chien Tzo, the former Dai Li, went to everywhere in the city.
“This, will be the place where the Earth Kingdom will fall” The Fire Lord grinned as his men began to bring their supplies. A temporary base would be put in there.
