Zutara Week, Day One: Denim
So um. I've recently become extremely into Zutara, which is a straight couple [it's weird, I'm so used to slash, lol] and today is the start of Zutara Week, which spans from today [July 7th] to next Sunday [July 13th]. Here's the first standalone for you! :D
"ZUKO!" Katara yells, finally waking him up.
"...Huh?" a very sleepy Zuko asks, getting out of their bed.
"Come on, Zuko. I told you we're going to the market today. Toph sent me a letter saying that there's a new fabric called "denim", and I told you I want to go check it out."
"Oh, okay," Zuko says, rubbing at his eyes.
Katara took a moment to admire him without a shirt on, but she soon snapped out of it and grabbed one from one of the drawers. "Here, put it on."
Zuko grabs the shirt and pulls it over his head. "So, why are you so excited about this new fabric?"
"Well, Toph said it's really durable and would be good for armor, so I thought it was worth checking out. Come on, let's go now," Katara replies, grabbing Zuko's hand and leading him out the door and to the marketplace.
The marketplace is very crowded, and even more noisy. Katara and Zuko eventually find their way to the fabric stall.
"Welcome!" the saleswoman greets, smiling at them. "What can I do for you today?"
"Good morning. We were wondering if you had any of that new fabric called "denim"," Katara says, looking around at the various fabrics.
The woman looks sad. "No, I'm sorry. My last customer bought the rest of my stock of denim. I'm so sorry." She truly looks sorry.
"Oh." Katara looks disappointed.
"But over at that clothing stall," the woman begins, pointing at a stall down the road, "they have a new garment made out of denim. They're a type of pants, called "jeans"."
Katara and Zuko thank the woman and head off to the clothing stall. When they get there, a man greets them with a warm smile.
"Good morning, sir. We were wondering if you have any of those new garments called "jeans"," Zuko says, looking around.
"Why, yes, we do! They come in different sizes, just so you know. We'll need to take measurements to find the right size for you," the salesman says.
"Okay."
The salesman pulls out some measuring tape and begins to measure Katara, under the watchful eye of Zuko. After around ten minutes, he finishes and fishes out a pair of jeans for Katara to try on, and he ushers her into one of the two changing stalls. The salesman starts measuring Zuko. When he's finished, he fishes out a pair of jeans for Zuko and ushers him into the other changing room.
When Zuko comes out, Katara is already out there waiting for him.
"Uhm, Zuko, your butt..."
"What? What's wrong with it?" Zuko looks slightly frantically over his shoulder.
"N-nothing, it's just... well..."
"Well what?"
"Well, it - it looks really really..." she breaks off, mumbling and blushing.
"Looks really what? It looks bad, doesn't it?"
"No, that's... just it. It looks... fantastic."
Zuko stops and stares at her. "Fan-fantastic?
"Yeah," Katara admits, going pink. "Those jeans, they show it off really well, and, er..."
"And?" Zuko presses.
"Oh, forget it," she says, and kisses him. The kiss lasts all of thirty seconds before the salesman clears his throat.
"So, are you going to buy them or not?"
"Of course, sir," Zuko says, fishing some money out of the pockets of his other pants and giving it to the salesman. "Thank you!"
Katara and Zuko head back home together, both still wearing their new jeans.
"Oh, and Katara?" Zuko asks, pink tinging his cheeks.
"Hm?"
"Your butt looks amazing in your jeans as well," he says, turning redder.
Katara giggles and kisses Zuko on the cheek. "Thanks, darling."
:DDD
