Description
Zutara Month 2012 – Day 5: SerenadeWhen he entered the room, she was singing, their lovely baby in her arms.
She didn't notice him, and kept singing the lullaby instead, and he just stood there, his gaze full of tenderness and love towards his two treasures right in front of him. He decided that Katara was the most loving, beautiful and talented mother in the whole Fire nation.
She noticed he was in the room when he caressed softly the lower part of her back and his breath tickled in her neck. She giggled at the feeling, stopping the song.
"Keep singing" he asked, a part of him wanting that she sang for him "you have such a beautiful voice... How come I've never noticed that before?"
She hid a smile, caressing her asleep baby's cheek." well I've never tried to" she blushed "do you really think that?"
He responded by 'mmhm'-ing while he enjoyed her wife's scent, drowning himself in her hair and neck. A minute later he caressed his daughter cheek lovingly. She smiled at the act.
"How was Fire Lord Zuko's day?" she whispered, putting the little baby girl back in her crib so she could sleep peacefully.
"Busy and tired, my dear Fire Lady" he responded, groaning in annoyance to make his point clear "sing for me" he said a moment later while kissing her cheeks and neck, guiding her to their bed. She didn't say anything and let him hold her in his arms and seconds later, when they were lying in the bed together, looking at each other's eyes, she finally answered. "What do you want me to sing for you, darling?" she played with his hair, which she discovered relaxed Zuko incredibly.
"I don't know" he answered drowsily. "Sing me that lullaby our little Lila had the honor to hear before falling asleep."
His voice was calm and she could see his eyes closing. He must be so tired. She pressed her lips in his neck, and then in his jaw and lips, while she started singing again the lovely song. He caressed her waist –something he used to do to calm them both–, enjoying the melodic voice of his wife singing for him in a soft whisper in his ear.
Before the song ended, they both were sound asleep.
