Heat
0 ReviewsPoor Zuko being all embarrassed for no reason... or is there a reason?
Heat
Zuko was glad to have been accepted into the Avatar's group. Slowly the tensions started to melt away, and daily interaction became more natural. But even if he was happy to be there, a little private time wouldn't hurt.
Zuko heated the water in the tub and prepared for a relaxing hot spring bath. He heard soft foot steps approaching and jumped into the large stone tub Toph had made earlier.
"You splashed me," the earth bender wiped the drops of warm water from her face.
"You shouldn't come in here without knocking when there's someone trying to take a bath," Zuko had been almost constantly watched since he arrived, and his alone time became rare.
Toph shrugged. "Don't be such a whiner, /princess/. It's not like I can see anything anyway. Clothes or no clothes, the vibrations are the same; all I can tell is that you're Zuko." Toph's feet had finally healed. She could walk normally and feel the vibrations of the earth and all the living creatures on it. "Everyone is cold and they want you to start a fire. Twinkle-toes is still a little traumatized from today's training, Sokka said there's no reason for him to try to make a fire if there's a fire bender in the group, and Katara-mom said you had to help by making the fire so she can cook dinner."
"Fine..." It couldn't be helped; the hot spring bath would have to wait until after dinner. Zuko noticed that Toph had not moved an inch. "I'll be there in a minute."
Toph shook her head. "I can't go back without you." When the group wanted Zuko to do something, they had already learned that sending Toph to ask was the best way to make Zuko get to it right away.
"Could you at least look away?" Even if she couldn't really see him, Zuko would be embarrassed to dress with her blind gaze on his skin.
"I can't look anywhere, why do you people keep forgetting that?" She shook a hand in front of her colorless eyes for emphasis.
Zuko knew this wasn't going anywhere; Toph had to be one of the most stubborn people he had ever met. He finally got out of the tub and dressed as quickly as he could, then followed Toph towards the rest of the group.
"That's nice," Sokka spoke sarcastically, "while you take a hot bath until your face turns red, we're all freezing because you're not here to start a fire!"
Without a word, Zuko started a fire in the middle of the room for his new friends to keep warm, and another in the stone stove to be used for cooking. The entire time, Zuko refused to look at Toph's amused expression; she knew his blush was not due to heat.
