Room 312: Late Sunday Morning

[southernbender]

Katara was well aware that it was completely silly to still be kinda annoyed that stupid Hades had decided to take over the stupid island on her birthday.  It wasn't like he could have waited or anything?

She sighed at herself, disgusted that she was thinking that way when people had gotten hurt and there were way worse problems, but maybe it was

Zuko hadn't taken off. He was just... stupid sometimes. Most of the time.

The door wasn't exactly locked, but he knocked anyway, a paperbag in one hand and he didn't wait for a reply to stick his head inside. "Katara?"

[southernbender]

Katara looked up from her book, not looking entirely impressed at Zuko. "Hi."

[thebluespirit]

Okay, he probably deserved that. He slipped inside the door and quietly closed it behind him. "I um... I brought you breakfast. Unless you've eaten already. You can keep it for lunch if you'd like. Pastries work for lunch too."

[southernbender]

"You brought pastries?" she repeated, putting the book down. "What happened to be mad or whatever?"

[thebluespirit]

"I'm not mad at you," he said softly, looking to meet her eyes.

[southernbender]

"Oh," Katara looked at him then looked down at her bed. "Okay, good."

[thebluespirit]

He fidgeted with the bag for a moment. "I'm sorry."

[southernbender]

She pushed herself off the bed and ran quickly to Zuko, throwing her arms around him. "I thought you left."

[thebluespirit]

Zuko blinked, but his arms wrapped around her instantly. "I wouldn't just leave," he murmured against her shoulder.

[southernbender]

"Well you haven't talked to me for a week, how was I supposed to know," she scolded.

[thebluespirit]

His arms tightened around her, the paperbag crackling. "I'm sorry," he whispered again.

[southernbender]

"You should be," she said quietly, her hands tightening on his shoulders. "But I could have come see you too, I guess."

[thebluespirit]

"I needed to think," he admitted, pulling back and reaching for her hand to drag her on the bed with him.

[southernbender]

Katara let him pull her along. "Think about what?"

[thebluespirit]

"What I saw when I was locked up there," he said softly, placing the bag on her nighttable.

[southernbender]

She wrapped her arm around his waist. "What did you see?"
