"Where's kat? I want to go by kat!" Zuko muffled a whine with his face in his own arm still.

"Katara get your ass out here! Get him off of me!" Azula yelled down the hall as she pushed Zuko by his forehead to try getting him off.

"Katara!" Zuko squealed hugging his sister tighter with the bottle in one hand still.

"Get off of me!" She screamed annoyed. Zuko let go and she shoved him away making them drunk prince fall to the ground in a fit of giggles.

"Azula?" Katara opened her door that was at the end of the hall.

"Kat!" Zuko laid on the ground after taking another two gulps.

"Zuko?" Her eyes widen even more confused.

"Your husband, your problem, I'm going to punch him," Azula shook in rage as Zuko poked at her ankle laying on his back next to her.

"Poke poke boney ankles," Zuko cooed.

"Stop it!" She screamed as Katara covered her mouth to hide her laughter.

"You okay buddy?" Katara stood behind zukos head as he looked straight up at her with a big smile.

"Yay kat," he hummed reaching up at her.

"Hi Zuko," she giggled.

"I got it Azula, how much has he drank?" The water bender looked back at the princess.

"Whatever is in that bottle and more," Azula crossed her arms.

"Two- no fiiii er six? Bottles on the wall, take one down pass it around," Zuko sang on the ground.

"Okay big guy, let's go to bed," Katara sighed and tied her hair up.

"I can't go to bed with you I'm a married man," Zuko huffed keeping his eyes closed.

"Have fun with that, I'm out," Azula immediately walked away.

"Bye zula I miss youuuuu!" Zuko lifted his hand and dropped it.

Katara laughed a little shaking her head but felt Zuko poking at her ankle.

"Azula has very skinny ankles," Zuko was memorized by her ankles.

"Calling my ankles fat?" She teased crouching down to him.

"Ahhh noooo! They're perfect! Stop saying mean things," Zuko pulled his hands back and covered his face.

"Okay man, help me out, we're getting up from the ground," Katara went around to face Zuko as she grabbed his hands to pull him up.

"Kataraaaaa kat mat sat bat pat," Zuko stood with her and hugged her tightly.

"You were not this drunk back ember island," Katara grunted at the squeeze that was going to kill her.

"Dad wasn't on ember island," Zuko whispered and kissed her cheek.

"Oh wow your very touchy, bed time," she laughed blushing as she backed into zukos room with him holding onto her and head down.

"I love youuuu kataraaaaa kat," Zuko sang.

"Love you too buddy," she patted his head and pushed him to the bed so he wouldn't fall on the bed.

"Shh don't tell kat but I love her," Zuko laid on the bed.

"Your lucky your cute otherwise I'd smack you," she snorted going to get him some water but heard him drinking out of the bottle.

"No!" She grabbed it immediately.

Zuko burst out into giggles as his chest heaved trying to breathe through his laughs. Wheezing as if he was just about done laughing but as soon as it was quiet again he covered his mouth laughing even harder.

"Are you done?" Katara set a glass and pint of water down on the nightstand.

"Hey kat where'd you come from?" Zuko sat up with his hair messed up and cheeks were rosy.

"Lay back down dumb ass," she pushed him to the side so he landed on a pillow instead.

"How are You always so pretty? You smell like roses and rain," he hummed with his face in the pillow.

"I looooove You Katara," Zuko sang into the pillow muffled. She laughed a little.

"Go to sleep your incredibly drunk," Katara sniffled the bottle curiously and sipped it. She made a face shaking her head.

"I wanna kiss your beautiful face and lips and hold your hand, and hold you, and kiss you, kiss kiss, for the miss miss," Zuko giggled hugging the pillow with his eyes closed still.

Katara blushed a little as she smiled down at him, he was just drunk, it was funny to watch.

"Go to sleep man," she whispered biting her lip.

"Don't leave?" Zuko rolled over to look at her.

"I won't, just don't throw up," Katara snickered.

"No," he winked back.

She inhaled a deep breath not wanting to take advantage of his state for asking questions, and he's probably asleep now... but she couldn't help it.

"Zuko, if I loved you too, more than a friend, would that be okay?" She whispered hoping her didn't hear.

But there was a snore telling her he was passed out asleep.

"Good night.." she smiled and leaned down to kiss his head.

Until he moved to lay on his back and her lips accidentally touched his.

Katara gasped horrified as their lips touched. Zuko pushed against her to kiss her more, his eyes were closed. Katara pulled back wide as he laid on the pillows sleeping and no reaction.

"I-I oh no," she covered her mouth in shock.

—

Katara didn't sleep much that night but Zuko slept like a log and didn't move for six hours, she did check his pulse three times in case because of how quiet he slept.

She read sitting on the floor in the morning with her plate of breakfast.

"Bleh room spins are a no," Zuko mumbled covering his face twisting to hide under the blankets.

"Good You are alive," katara threw a small piece of bread at him.

"No I don't want to be alive," Zuko groaned.

"How are you feeling?" Katara got up with the plate of food.

"Was I screaming last night? My face and throat hurt, I don't want to be in the sun ever again," Zuko groaned from under the blanket.

"You were laughing a lot and yelling," Katara nodded and opened the blanket to give him water.

"Light bad bad bad bad make it stop," Zuko hissed holding his fade and head turning away.

"Drink," she touched the top of his head. His gold eyes peaked and he finally grabbed the water and chugged it desperately.

"Do you remember anything last night?" Katara blushed.

"I think last I remember is I found Azula? Then I fell asleep," Zuko sat up as he grabbed the pitcher to drink out of.

"You called my ankles fat," she grinned.

"What?" His face drop.

"Drunk Zuko get the giggles a lot," Katara teased.

"And-" Katara cut herself off not knowing if she should be honest about accidentally kissing him.

"We accidentally kissed but-" suddenly Zuko spit all the water in his mouth.

"We what?!" He screamed.

"It was just a poor timing thing! Faces got to close and spun the wrong way!" She defended quickly as he choked on the water.

"So it was a peck okay that's not so bad, I'm so sorry," Zuko covered his face embarrassed.

"I mean it was a peck but wasn't? I-I think you kissed me a little more than I kissed you but I don't think you were conscious enough?" She blushed deeply as Zuko grabbed the pillow and screamed into it.

"And You kept saying You love me but in the way the girls from the party kept petting me and saying they love me and kept saying I'm pretty... oh your a drunk party girl when you drink wine!" She laughed awkwardly in the last part.

Zuko screamed louder in the pillow.

"Listen it's not that bad! You kept hugging Azula too?" She offered to him.

"And I don't have a broken nose?" He looked up at her confused. "I think your just lying to me now,"

"So I'm lying when you kept calling me pretty and how much you love meeee?" Katara giggled.

"Let me die in the hole and be hung over," he laid back down and covered himself in the blanket again as Katara raised a brow.

"Take a nap, eat bread, I'll be back later," she patted his shoulder getting up from the bed.

Blushed stained her cheeks, she wished hed talk about it but Zuko wasn't all the way mentally back, and maybe he'll remember more from his nap.

"Not to kiss and tell but-" she smiled when Zuko groaned loudly and annoyed from under the blanket.

"Okok I'll leave you alone love bug," Katara giggled watching her husband suffer under her blankets still and pulled the pillow to be on top of his head.
