Attraction
Summary: I am drowning in a pool of hazy mist that coats a darkness over my eyes. A constant fog surrounds me. I feel as if I am hearing, seeing, speaking, all underwater. Somewhere submerged deep inside me something is screaming, hysterically crying, breaking, but it is so far down that I hardly notice. It is ever present, a nuisance to my hazy reality that annoys like a persistent gnat. Disturbing images plague my mind and memory, taunting in their familiarity... So I sleep.
----Attraction----
I sit in the bath alone.
Gran Gran has gone off muttering to herself about towels.
I sit, lulled by warm scented water. It calls to me in a language I do not know and yet still understand. I cannot resist such a call.
Underneath it is warm, silent, and peaceful. It feels natural and soothes something in my soul. The only sound is my heart pounding in my ears like the beat of a drum. I listen. I count the seconds. One twenty one, one twenty two, one twenty three. Rough hands grab me and I am being hauled up and over and out.
His eyes are frantic, his hands fluttering from my throat to my mouth and then back down again to the junction where my shoulder meets neck. Pressing there he searches. Finding the rhythm of my heart he relaxes. The panic melting off his face.
His eyes drift down my body and something between us changes in that moment. I know I should feel the urge to cover my nakedness but I am too captivated by his eyes. They darken as they linger along my flesh. Scrambling to his feet he backs away, cheeks flushed, eyes locked below my neck. Water darkens the front of his clothes and drips to a puddle beneath his feet.
His gaze scorches me. I shiver.
He mistakes it for cold. He wraps me in blankets, and tucks me between the pelts. His fingers brush my arm, my shoulder, my collar bone.
Slowly the thing between us fades.

This chapter is still Katara POV.
I think I might write a chapter in Zuko POV if you guys are interested in hearing his pov.
Also at some point I will edit this story so that it is more cohesive but for now I am to lazy.
As always please review if you read and liked or disliked even, I enjoy any and all feedback.
