(Katara POV)

Alright, so the prnce hasnt woken up yet. I'm beginning to worry. He still talks and moves around frequently in his sleep, but not an eye has opened. I figure he dosnt want to wake up. Not when he knows that... I... will be there t yell at him and what not. I was beginning to hate myself for what I put him through. And here I was, making it up to him while he sleeps. I talk to him, I rub his head and play with his hair, I tell that he is a wonderful person (Even though I am not sure I can convince myself that yet) and that he is not his father. He seems to think that he is, or he is going to become his father, but he never will. Zuko is different from his sire, Zuko has a heart. He cares about what he does and what people think, he doesnt just throw opinions and ideas out the window, he considers everyones feelings and he thinks things out (Most of the time). All in all, he is a good person, I suppose. I sigh gently and brush his hair away from his face. He sighs and snuggles closer on my lap. He is very warm, like a personal furnace. His arms were pressed up against his chest and his hands folded under his head. He looked very comfortable, that is, he did until he woke up. His eyes shot open and molten gold poured out.

"Oh Agni, I am so so sorry, I shouldn't be this close and- and I didn't mean to and-" He continued to ramble, it was in a way cut... liek the childish cute, not like- I like him-cute but just cute, I do not like him, not in any way what so ever, no.

"Zuko." I interrupted him before his face burned off, at least his cheeks would.

He looked up, breathing cautiously, as if to enjoy his last breath. I sighed and gently placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Its okay." I spoke gently, as one would to a Saber-tooth-moose-lion.

He nodded and gulped.

"Now lay back down before you hurt yourself, your not fully healed."

"How long have I been out?"

Of course he would have to ask that.

"About three days."

"Three days!"

"Yes three days, now lay DOWN." I didnt yell, I forcefully told him what to do, there is a difference.

He nodded and sat down stiffly on his sleeping bag. It was quiet in the minutes that followed. Or seconds. Either or it was too quiet and tense for me. I walked over and pushed him down softly till he was laying on his back. He looked at me questioningly (A/N: Spelling?) but I had already decided not to answer any more questions. So before he even tried to open his mouth, I lifted a hand.

"No more questions, no more talking."

My sleep deprivation was finally taking its tole on me and seemed to hit me at that one moment. Perhaps it was the knowledge of him being okay. Perhaps. I yawned and laid down on my own sleeping bag before sleep over took me. I heard one thing though.

"Thank you Katara."

A/N: Soooooo? How was it? Tell me, I must know, Zuko will give you all kisses and hugs XOXO is you review... if not... hmmm... Zuko will ditch Katara for the ostrich-horse! Your choice... wow really Azula on my part. REVIEW!
