Hello anon! Thanks for the prompts! And oooOooo I like the way you think!
50. putting a hand over the other’s mouth to shut them up
24. whispering in their ear, lips touching the skin
Katara ran, doing her best to ignore the instinct to look over her shoulder, knowing that would only slow her down. Instead she pushed on, winding through the crowded streets of the Lower Ring while trying to lose the men chasing her.
She had come to the lower ring to heal in the hospital, all the while keeping her ears open for any news of Appa. She certainly hadn't planned on tipping off the Dai Li to her presence, nor had she planned on them chasing her through the streets. That didn't feel like their style.
Katara decided she could ponder the nature of the Dai Li's activities once she was safe. She decided to spare one glance over her shoulder, just long enough to see the men had fallen back and-
Katara let out a muffled shout as she was pulled from the street into a side alley. She screamed even more when she recognized who had caught her.
"Zuko! How dare you! Let me-"
"Shhhh," he whispered, placing a hand over her mouth. "You can hide here for a few minutes, but if you keep shouting they'll know you're here."
Katara debated biting his palm. While his words made sense, they were still coming from Zuko, the evil prince who had chased them across the world. Katara studied him in the low light of the alley, her heart racing inexplicably at the sight of his hair grown in.
It's kind of cute she thought, immediately hating herself for thinking such a traitorous thing about him.
Instead Katara turned away to look at the alley, trying to see if the Dai Li had passed. Zuko instead wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her further into the alley.
"Let me go!" She whisper shouted a second before he clapped his hand over her mouth again. Katara struggled in his arms but his grip was steady.
"I promise I'll let you go as soon as it's safe," he whispered in her ear. "The Dai Li are no joke, so just stay calm for a few minutes, ok?"
Katara did her best to ignore the shiver that ran down her spine, pretending not to notice the way his lips brushed against the shell of her ear when he spoke. Instead she nodded, slowly, and forced herself to take a glance at their surroundings.
"Good," he whispered, then fell silent. He dropped the hand from her mouth but kept the other snug around her waist. She resisted letting out a huff when she caught sight of a black hat passing by the entrance. Katara bit her lip, holding her breath. She realized Zuko wasn't breathing either.
Maybe it was a minute, maybe it was an hour, but Zuko finally let go of her waist. "You uh, you should be safe now. Just be careful leaving the lower ring."
Katara turned and faced him again. He flushed under her appraisal, his good check blushing a pretty pink.
"I will be," she slowly answered. "But not before you tell me why you're here."
Zuko's look of surprise quickly melted into a glare before fading just as quickly into resignation. "C'mon," he said with a sigh, "Uncle will want to make you a cup of tea."
