Katsura wore her hair in a ponytail as she wore zukos black hoodie that had a band on the front to school the next day, she yawned before sipping her coffee as she put her bag in her locker.

"Hey," Jet walked over to her. "I heard you and your brother got in an accident yesterday,"

Katara ignored him as she closed the locker, Jet looked at her gently seeing the bruise and cut on her forehead. She was exhausted but leaned against the lockers when Jet stopped her.

"Are you okay?" He asked putting his hand by her head as she looked up at him.

"I'm fine, some asshole T boned the car from not stopping at the light," Katara didn't look happy to see him.

"How's your brother?" Jet reached for her cut but she slapped his hand away.

"Don't," she spat glaring up at him.

"Don't fucking act like you care, your a piece of shit for everything, don't act like we're going to be a thing," Katara poked his chest as Jet took a step back.

"He deserved to know," Jet grabbed her hand.

"Yea cause you really felt the guilt eating at you with him not knowing," she scoffed sarcastically.

"Don't act like you cared about him or me," she looked him up and down.

"I don't know how else to tell you to go away," Katara sighed annoyed as she stepped to the side so she wasn't trapped between him and the locker.

"I just want you to listen!" Jet cried out.

"I don't want too!" She yelled back finally.

"I'm tired of this circle! You keep trying to say shit that means nothing to me! You tried ruining my relationship and you tried guilting me into one with you!" Katara felt her hands shaking in rage as Jet rolled his eyes at her.

"I tried Jet, I tried to be your friend but you only are friends with someone if you get something out of it," she tried controlling herself but it was so frustrating.

"I only was friends with you cause your a slut," jet spat back.

"Why? Cause I won't sleep with you?" She sneered.

"I am so sick of boys right now, fuck," Katara threw her hands up in the air annoyed.

"Maybe if you weren't just a teasing slut-" Jet was cut off when she pushed him away.

Katara was going to snap back but she gasped when arms wrapped around her from behind and was surrounded by his scent, feeling zukos hair against her jaw and his nose buried against her neck. Almost like he was also trying to hold her back.

She paused looking back at him and relaxed in his arms seeing how crouched down he was just to lay on her.

"Good morning," Katara smiled back with a small laugh, touching his head.

Zuko kissed her neck and her cheek as he held her tightly.

"Morning, love," he mumbled and glanced up at Jet.

"Huh, guess he is desperate," Jet crossed his arms. Hiding the jealousy that seethed through him.

"So you decided to keep my hoodie?" Zuko ignored him and turned Katara to him.

"It's warm, I like it," she smirked.

"I thought you were sick of boys?" He whispered in her ear and she rolled her eyes at him smiling.

"Looks good on you," he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead. "I might be able to get my bike up and running this weekend,"

"Isn't it all banged up from the accident?" Katara frowned a little confused.

"Im running to the store to get some parts and spending the night working on it, my father gave me money before for it so I might as well use it," Zuko shrugged pulling her away from Jet. He looked over his shoulder shaking his head at the tan boy.

"So why'd you pull me away? Think I can't handle myself?" Katara noticed as she kept his arm around her.

"One I know he can't take no for an answer, and two I know you'll deck his ass before he admits he's wrong," Zuko explained gently.

"I didn't want you getting in a fight," he smiled. "Maybe I've been a bad influence," he teased.

"I use to get in fights all the time when I was in elementary school," Katara huffed a little.

"Oh beating on the other eight year olds?" Zuko teased a little.

"I'll warn you now, don't take my fruit snacks and pull on my pigtails," she poked his cheek.

"Noted," he nodded.

"Can we talk actually?" Katara blushed a little pulling the hoodie closer up to her nose.

"Course, what's going on?" Zuko stopped and looked at her.

"It's nothing bad, don't look so nervous," she reassured him and he relaxed a little. But not completely. Did he mess up already? Did she regret kissing him and wanted to go back to friends? He'd be understanding but he hoped she didn't regret him crossing that line, maybe it was a bad idea-

"I just wanted to know if your okay, with us?" Katara gulped a little as Zuko kept his calm.

"What do you mean?" Zuko tilted his head to the side a little.

"When I say I love you, it's not like I love Aang and Toph or Suki, I love them all," she inhaled deeply trying to find the right words.

"But I love you more than that, like definitely more than friends," Katara looked down nervously as she could tell she was going to start speaking nonsense soon.

"..Like maybe boyfriend girlfriend way..?" Zuko offered blushing. Shit. What if she didn't like labels? He'd be embarrassed too if someone said he was their boyfriend.

"Yea, maybe," she giggled awkwardly.

"I want to take it slow though, I love that we're best friends and honestly want to keep how we are like that, goofy, teasing, being able to call each other names like how we have but.. you know not be just friends, and not date other people, I don't know it doesn't make sense outloud," she whined a little covering her face.

"I want to bully you and go on dates, and I don't want you to stop making fun of me either like when I cried on you but still kiss me, does that make any sense?" She panicked a little getting more embarrassed by how terrible she explained.

"So you want me to still push you in bushes and kiss your forehead?" Zuko smiled crossing his arms amused.

"And you to trip me in puddles but hold your hand?" He offered.

"Yes," she whispered keeping her hands on her face.

"Sounds like a deal to me," he pulled her close so she could hide her face in his chest.

"I'm glad we're on the same page, I was scared you didn't want any of that," Zuko whispered in her hair and she lost her tension in her shoulder as her was wrapped around her.

"I love you too by the way, but I think taking it slow instead from being how we were to complete couple might scare your brother and make it weird," he smiled closing his eyes enjoying the weight against him.

"Right, completely," she giggled again.

"So do we have to tell your brother and my uncle?" Zuko scrunched up his face a little.

"Ugh, how bout we just do our thing and if they ask well tell them the truth, we're not just going to make some lame ass announcement," Katara offered.

"Thank god, i think that'd make it worse," he groaned relieved.

"So your not dating Jet? Right?"
