ZukAang Week Drabbles - Day one: Motive

A/N: I honestly have no idea why the heck I thought I'd be able to write a series of drabbles while still writing a story ... *Sighs* Ah, well, life goes on. If you do want to see my story, by the way, it's called 'The Avatar Abandoned' and it's great :) Haha, yes, advertisement in other stories ... Anyways, read on! And leave a review! Love is appriciated!

Katara knew Zuko had to have some kind of motive for joining their group. Capturing the Avatar, most likely. She didn't buy it. His sudden 'transformation'. And she was going to tell him that.

Just as soon as she found him, anyway. She had looked all over the temple and hadn't seen hide or hair of the banished Prince. She paused in her brisk pace, thinking for a minute. Actually ... she hadn't seen Aang at all either. Kataras eyes widened at the relevation and she ran to the only place she hadn't checked. Zukos' little campsite in the forrest.

Hurridly, she shimmied up the rope they had left there so the group could get in and out of the temple without using Appa every time. She dashed towards the little makeshift campsite, slowing as she heard voices - not angry shouting ones, but more like the tones of a hushed conversation. Confused she crept up to the voices, hiding in the bushes. Making as little noise as possible, she pushed some of the leaves out of the way creating a small peep-hole she could look through.

Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the scene before her. Aang was sitting in Zukos lap, his head on the older boys chest and the Princes hand was gently stroking his hair.

'We'll have to get back to the others soon, you know ... ' Zuko muttered into Aangs ear.

Aang groaned. 'Five more minutes ... no one will notice ... they think that we'll be practicing Fire Bending or something ... '

Zuko chuckled. 'You do realise that we've been gone for over an hour? And that we missed lunch.'

The Avatar tutted. 'Next time bring something with you then. You said we could come up here to spend some time together without the others finding out about us, so here I am and here you are. If you thought we would spend fifteen minutes having sex and then go back to the group, then tough. We said we were going to spend some time togther, and we are,' Aang pouted, crossing his arms over his chest.

Kissing the young airbender on the forehead, Zuko laughed again. 'You're very romantic, aren't you? But it was great sex.'

Katara felt a hot blush spread over her cheeks as she heard the conversation, her eye twitching slightly. Aang grinned as he twisted himself around so he was stradling Zukos lap. 'It was. How about a repeat performance before we go back to the others?' smirked the young boy as he began unbuttoning the Princes shirt again.

Katara stifled a gasp as she scurried away from the two as quickly and as silently as possible. That was about as much information as she needed in one day. Still ... the two boy had fit well together ... the Water Tribe girl decided she needed to do a little more ... investigation ... before she made up her mind about this.

Later, Zuko and Aang turned up at the temple, looking no worse for wear. However, Katara did notice a few bruises on Aangs neck, and a couple of scratch marks down Zukos back. When she asked the two boys about their, ahem, injuries, they blushed slightly and said they were sparring and gotten a bit carried away.

Yes, Katara knew Zuko had another motive for joining their group. She just hadn't expected the reason to be Aang.

A/N: Yes, I'm a terrible person, but lets face it: ZukAang is so nommy even Katara ships it! :D Ahaha, more to come over the following week, tell me what you thought so far! Review equal worship and love!
