Taste The Rainbow

Movie Night

Movie Night

"Zuko?" I call as I walk into the near empty house.

"Toucan? Is that you?" I grin and walk towards where Zuko's voice is coming from -- his kitchen.

"Hey, babe." I greet brightly when I walk into the kitchen and wrap my arms around Zuko's waist.

"How was your day?" He questions while he places some food into a bowl. I kiss his neck lightly and close my eyes, keeping my arms around his waist.

"It was good. How was yours?" I reply. He hums and puts more food into a bowl before breaking away from me to leave the kitchen.

I follow behind him as we go into his room, where Zuko already has a movie playing.

"What are we watching?" I ask curiously, finally taking a look in the bowl of food Zuko made. It looks like nachos and makes me grin in appreciation.

"The Lion King," Zuko replies with a chuckle as he climbs into the bed, patting the spot next to him. I get in next to him and cuddle up next to him, resting my head on his chest while he presses play on the movie.

For the next hour or so we watch the movie, eating the nachos and making small comments. When it's over I clear my throat, still reeling from Mufasa's death. No matter how many times I see this movie, I'll always be affected by it.

"Aw, are you getting all choked up?" Zuko teases and I roll my eyes.

"Of course not," I mumble and he chuckles.

"Mhm, sure." He hums, putting the bowl of nachos on the table before pulling me closer and missing my temple lightly.

"It's true," I argue lightly, turning to straddle his waist. He looks up at me with a smile and I lean down to kiss him passionately.

"I love you," I murmur against his lips, running my fingers through his hair while he wraps his arms around my waist.

"I love you, too." He replies against my lips, smiling against them. I grin and pull back to kiss his chin, cheeks, temple, neck, and everywhere else I can. He laughs and pushes me back lightly.

"Come on, Toucan, I want to watch another movie, not do this right now." He adds in amusement and I shrug. I kiss his lips lightly once more before flopping back down next to him with a smile on my lips.

"What next?" I ask while he scrolls through Netflix.

"Finding Nemo," Zuko replies with a grin and I groan but cuddle closer to him.

"Damn you," I mutter while he presses play on the movie. He chuckles and kisses my temple as he does.

"You love me," he teases. I flick his nose but kiss his neck.

"Yeah, yeah," I reply in a whisper and with that, we begin watching the moving again.
